    After hearing many people sing their praises, I knew I had to plan my errands specifically around this location and restaurant. Immediately when I walked in, it seemed to be very nondescript, and I wouldn't have known where I was if I didn't know, as there was no decoration and nothing exciting about the setup. There also wasn't really a specific area for guests to wait to be served, and no one seemed to be around to help. One of the two waiters, I believe, informed me I could sit anywhere, and I was thankful I received a handheld menu as the service was awful. It probably took over 15 minutes for the other waiter to notice me, and she finally took my order haphazardly while I'm seeing a lady who sat at the counter seating after me already receiving service and water from the first waiter. While the menu had lots of options, what really struck me was the overpricing of the items, specifically the bread items, and many other things seemed to be à la carte. Paying $25 for pancakes and sausage from a breakfast place seems a bit absurd compared to other breakfast places of higher caliber around Los Angeles and California as a whole. The service never improved, and it was definitely an extremely disappointing experience overall. While I understand they may have been short-staffed as the restaurant was pretty full with only two servers, with one working the food also, it didn't feel good to receive such inattentive and just unprofessional service from them. Hopefully there weren't any racist undertones involved but it makes you sit back and reflect as I was the only African American there. Regardless if that's the case, what a waste of a drive!

    Came here on a Sunday at around noon. There was a pretty long wait for regular seating but the bar had open seats so the bar it was! It's got an old school vibe with a mix of modern diner. The servers are great even though it was busy the entire time, now to the food! Stack of pancakes, breakfast sandwich, wet breakfast burrito side of breakfast potatoes and two lattes! One hot, one iced. Great food at a decent price!

    Great coffee and amazing Loco Moco. I love how they make a wide hamburger patty to fit over the rice - enough for every scoop/bite. I asked for a pancake sampler that I saw on YELP, and they said it's part of their secret menu where you get to choose 3 of your choice (thought they pick the flavors for you) - so what a treat. We picked the Apple Cobbler, Lemon Ricotta, and Blue Hawaiian - pancakes were light and fluffy, GREAT BATTER. No complaints on the FOOD at all. *Customer service on the other hand was lacking - we didn't know they didn't use menus until someone came by and said they only use QR codes (totally fine but wish they mentioned it when seated). Had to ask for lemon amd straws twice. We were never checked up on- had to flag someone down for water and coffee refills AND when I was finally able to get someone's attention to ask for to-go containers, they came to the table to acknowledge the request - then completely ignored it. It took about 3 tries to get someone to look our way and get what we needed, including the check. Would I go back here? most likely - food's good. BUT they have to work on their customer service. (unless they think since the food is good, they don't need customer service?) 8 out of 10 for me.

    Bea Bea's is located on a corner with outdoor seating conveniently covered by the edge of the building. The only negative is the possibility of the blasting of horns from impatient drivers at the light. While it is not listed on the menu, they still offer a DIY mini pancake flights of 3 flavors. But we decided to go with the full stack of Green Tea Monster $19.95 and Grilled Veggie Frittata $20.95 for a hit of vegetables, which came with side. The day's only potato option being home fried potatoes. I was a bit afraid that we might be forgotten, having opted to being seated outside. But no fear! Menus were brought out directly, followed by napkins and utensils. The pancakes were delicious, while the frittata was just satisfactory as the conveyor of vegetables.

    If you're in the mood for pancakes, THIS is the spot. Wait time can vary depending on day (about a 20 min wait on weekends during peak hours), but the wait is well worth it. The location itself isn't "eye popping" but there's plenty of things to look at and keep you busy while you wait, but you come for the food....

    Whenever I have a hankering for soft and sweet pancakes I come to Bea Bea's. Both locations have their loyal customers and I'm one of them. I love that they have non pork protein options for the egg pairings and I typically the old faithful: papa Sam's scramble and Summer's Dream pancakes. From dates to family brunch to solo adventures and to go order's I'm glad Bea Bea's provides a consistent great breakfast with a robust menu. I'm always greated well, and appreciate the street (meter) parking available nearby.

    Absolutely delicious! My friend and I were in the area and she recommended that we try this place because it's one of her favorite diners. I ordered the Pooh's breakfast with a side of coconut sesame gluten free pancakes and it was AMAZING! The eggs and sausage were standard but the gf pancakes were soooo good. You can't even tell that they are gluten free - soft, pillowy, and with just the right amount of bounce. The sesame flavor was strong but not overpowering and the coconut added the perfect balance. I tried my friend's matcha gluten free pancakes and they were equally delicious. I can't wait to try more flavors next time!

    This place is GREAT!! My daughter and I sat out on the shady patio and ordered the house latte, matcha latte, tutti fruitti crepes and huevos rancheros. Everything we ordered was delicious and our food and beverages came out quickly too. We ate here while my car was having some routine maintenance done down the way so we took our time eating and catching up here till the car was ready and didn't feel rushed at all. They seem to do really good business here. It was busy but no wait for a table.

    The hours and address in Glendale. They also have one in Burbank !

    Great food and love the whole armosphere!! Went to lunch this time and we all got delicious sandwiches. Met other nice customers and everyone there was so kind and friendly.

    A Breakfast Experience That Left Me Feeling Low I usually start my mornings with a good breakfast and an even better vibe, but this place missed the mark entirely. The food itself? Decent. But the service? It carried an energy so grumpy and disengaged that I left feeling worse than when I walked in. And at 8:30 AM, when the restaurant was only about 50% full, there was no excuse for it. From the moment we sat down, the vibe was off. When we asked a staff member about an item on the menu, she looked at us blankly from two tables away--didn't move, didn't respond, just stared. It wasn't until our actual server came over that we got any answer, and even then, the first staff member just turned and walked away, completely apathetic. Later, I asked our server if I had somehow offended her, only to be told, "That's just not her job." Apparently she is not a server. Which...what? How is answering a simple question not part of working in a restaurant? When our food arrived, the servers didn't even bother placing the plates properly, just setting them on the table's edge without a word or even checking whose order was whose, without a single word they both turned around a left. The silence was almost comical. It felt like they had picked up on my earlier comment and collectively decided to ice us out. I've been an Elite Gold Yelper for close to 8 years, and I can confidently say that places like CiCi's Cafe, Cafe 21, and Castaway have never left me feeling this down before my day even started. Dining out is about the whole experience, not just the food. If that wasn't the case, people would just eat at home. Common courtesy isn't a luxury in the service industry--it's a basic expectation. Unfortunately, this place made it clear that it was too much to ask.

    Omelette you guess the low effort! Kraft square cheese on top! Suggestion:shredded cheese melts better!
    Dennise S.

    So I have been here on three different occasions. Two during the week day and one on the weekend. The staff is way more attentive during the weekday which is understandable because they were packed on Sunday. I just don't think the food should lose its value/ quality or artistic appeal. My latte was not filled to the top and no leaf design. I don't mind it since it just the drink but the food taste and presentation was very bland. Minimal effort shouldn't be a staple. They literally just put like a Kraft square cheese slice on top of the omelette. Consider shredding or just not adding it! It just proves the lack of effort and quality. The female hostess wasn't liking her job. It just gives a sense of and seems like this is a family operation and it feels like a forced obligation to work here because the staff don't even smile or have that carisma a waitress or waiter would have to earn tips. Don't get me wrong. I did tip but my mother was mentioning they didn't deserve it and she's the really nice one in the family! So that right there, made me write this review. Not to mention I was actually excited to share the spot with my mom for brunch. Sadly, it was very disappointing and embarrassing. I did ask who was the owner and was told one of the guys in the back with a cap but there were like three!?! I wasn't going to bring it to his attention on a busy day but I do hope he reads this and maybe share with your staff that they shouldn't look so miserable while being in customer service industry as it's important to have hospitality. Maybe they need a raise or break?! Who knows because I think I wont be returning. Plus, parking was a nightmare and since Starbucks drive thru is across the street and alley was just packed and blocked to use any parking nearby. I have added pictures from all three visits and you will see the petty Kraft cheese pushed to the side. Such a shame.

    We've becoming to bea bea's original Burbank location for more than a decade. Our favorite breakfast there is the Bea Bea's omelette. We tend to put the jalapeños on the side and substitute the spinach for olives as our personal special. There pancakes and waffles are very good as well. Our kids love the Belgian chocolate ones. Staff is great and the ambiance is chil.

    Okay, I didn't expect the portion sizes to be this big & im not mad at all. The food was great, only thing I wasn't a fan of were the potatoes. it was missing something but overall the food was absolutely fresh & delicious. The service was great, the servers were attentive & fast paced with everything. It was a nice setting as the lighting was natural & the music wasn't noticeable. I would & see myself coming back here again.
