My friend and I dropped her car off at the mechanic and needed breakfast nearby. I checked Yelp and found Blue Elephant, so we walked over on a Tuesday morning -- and it was packed! Always a good sign. The menu had so many yummy options that it actually took us a while to decide, but everything we ordered was delicious. The service was great, too. You can really feel the heart and soul put into this place. A must-try if you're in the area! read more

I randomly found this place and placed a Togo-order for pick up. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and it was decorated to artistic perfection inside, therefore making it a pleasant experience while waiting for my food. The overall entire experience is 5 stars! I would definitely recommend this adorable café read more

this place is a great go to for food and drinks, I highly recommend the avocado toast. They make it with such love and care I love this business and their employees are so nice and friendly and welcoming. I will also say that it's a good spot to chill and get some work done. read more

Located on Washington Blvd, can't believe I had not been here before. It's a nice little spot, its vibe is very namaste zen. I loved the decore, nice place to grab b a coffee and chill. There's WiFi, with sitting inside and outside. Ordered a Matcha latte with oat milk , it was delicious. Froth on top and very silky. Not too sweet and not too tart, perfect balance. Fully loaded burrito in a spinach wrap. Rich in flavor, with eggs, potatoes, bacon, green bell peppers and cheese. Classic breakfast combo, eggs, bacon potatoes and a side of toast. Both these dishes come with a side salsa. They were both tasty. The service was great, very friendly staff and they checked in with their customers. If you're in the area or not I recommend trying this place. read more

Nice cafe in Harvard Heights. It's been on my list to try for quite some time now and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go. The place is very calm and clean. I ordered the avocado toast and house drip coffee. I love the presentation of my meal and that they steamed the creamer in the coffee. I wish my coffee was a bit stronger which may have been from the amount of creamer in it. The avocado toast was good... pretty basic but I'm sure if I had ordered something more it would be great. The ladies working there were very nice. Next time I'm back I will try something more filling and maybe an Americano. read more

I called in my order and no problems. I didn't get a chance to check out the ambiance of the place but I can't wait. I wish I had taken a pic of my food but it was soo good I ate it too fast.

Blue Elephant Café - Breakfast Burrito - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A vibrant and uniquely decorated cafe with two big blue elephant wall murals and comfy furniture to lounge at, eat at, or even relax after your food a coma. Their menu has various brunch and lunch options, from paninis to breakfast burritos, wraps, and more. You can also pair your food with one of their drinks from the espresso bar, tea, smoothies, and juices. This may or may not be a hot take, but their strawberry smoothie was one of my favorite smoothies of all time. It has brown suga in it and was so fire. I would come back for a smoothie. Going into their breakfast, I got their loaded breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onion, and cheese. I have to say this burrito was not it. The potatoes were spicy for absolutely no reason and were too thick. I swear the burrito consisted of 70% potato. I would definitely disclose to customers that it's spicy. read more

Just had a chicken wrap and oh my God so incredibly good wow. My mouth is slightly on fire but in the best way definitely coming back here.

This looks to be a neighborhood favorite. All the coffee drinks were delicious and the serving size generous. The breakfasts we ordered, bagel and lox and everything breakfast burrito, were served hot and fresh. Recommended!! read more

I needed coffee and wanted to try something new, so when I saw that this was highly rated, I rerouted my map to come to Blue Elephant Café. I got the "dirty pirate" at the recommendation of one of the workers because I like a sweeter drink, and it was so unique and delicious! The service was great and it felt like a warm and welcoming space. Will definitely be coming back soon to try their food! read more

Food is to simple for it to be coming out 1hour late every time I've tried giving this place the benefit of the doubt but every time It's a disappointment. If I could give it no stars I most definitely would! Glad I left a review while I continued to wait. Still didn't receive the complete order. Then tried asking me to bring down the review?? read more

Blue Elephant Café - Manager called me a lair while I was still waiting for them to fix their mistake. - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was in the area and wanted to try a local coffee place. Decided to stop here based on the reviews. We order 4 drinks and unfortunately had to wait 33 minutes to received my order. Once I received it, one of drinks was incorrect. Had to wait again. Terrible service. Terrible experience. They need a bigger kitchen and friendlier staff with experienced customer service. Do not come here or order from Uber Eats. read more

Okay this place is a little hole in the wall but I'd say is worth trying. Driving by too fast, you'll definitely miss it. The place is tiny, but will accommodate small groups. Maybe a group of 4 -6 max for a table. The kitchen is staffed by a few workers so you'll have to be patience with your order but I'll say it's worth the wait. I've been to this cafe before the renovation and it was good then and even better now. The burrito was delicious, however you must must must ask for extra salsa to go with it, it just pairs reallly well. The breakfast croissant was delicious as well, however I'd say, they may have put a little too much mayo which made it a tad bit salty, aside from that, the croissant was really flaky and fresh tasting. I had the cafe de olla from here and it was really well prepared, I didn't put a photo because I forgot to take one (sorry!) but worth trying if you like that coffee. Can be a little on the pricey side so expect to spend a little bit you do get quality food. Will come back again! read more

Cute little cafe! I drove by this shop a few weeks ago and I was really intrigued to come back. On Saturday I was craving some coffee and I remembered I had seen this coffee shop. I walked in around noon and it wasn't too busy. I took a few minutes to look at the menu and the barista told me to take my time and to let her know when I was ready to order. She took my order and my drinks were ready in less than 10 minutes. The decor inside the shop was really cute and it gave me a cozy feeling. This time I only tried a coffee but I would like to go back to try some of their food items. Parking: street parking. They have a few spaces in front of the shop but those might be for pick up only. read more

Cute and chill spot that Yelp helped me find. The food was surprisingly incredible. Too bad the coffee is not equally fantastic. It's just good-to-average. Plenty of tables and a couch inside and four tables out front. French Toast Combo comes with an egg and your choice of bacon $14.95 Banana And Berries added for $1.50. It was sublime. Orange Juice for $6.50 was fresh pressed. An earlier review intimated that it was some type of orange whip. They just don't understand how the fresh press works. Café Latte is reasonably priced at $5.00 but comes up short. I got a regular coffee to go on my way out and that wasn't even worth the $3.50 price. I'm not sure whether it's the beans are the barista, but it doesn't matter because they failed twice. It's three-star coffee actually. Served with a bit of ennui. But no hate - it's the end of 2022 and we're all worn out. But my breakfast was spot on and I got it at 1pm on a weekday. So they get a four-star review, which factors in that it's a nice place to hang, read, work or eat. Breakfast lovers unite! Street parking in front is free, but limited to one hour. The retailers are nice enough to put signs out front to remind you that it is enforced. read more

Such a good breakfast in a cute cafe! Hubby and I were visiting and decided to stop by here for brunch. We were fortunate to find parking right in the front, especially when it was pouring out. We were greeted with a warm welcome once we stepped in and away from the rain. Employees are friendly and quick to serve. I ordered the Turkey, egg, and cheese croissant with avocado and hubby ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with avocado. For drinks, we ordered the strawberry smoothie and the Dirty Pirate (espresso, matcha, and chai). I was about to order the matcha latte but felt daring and decided to try something new, so ordered the dirty pirate and man it was a great choice. It was so creamy and the sweetness was definitely to my liking. I took a sip of hubby's strawberry smoothie and it was so fragrant and delish. Everything tasted fresh and we left satisfied! We ate our food and enjoyed listening to their playlist of latin music. Interior is cute too and we had a good time! Definitely a great place to stop by to have breakfast and/or lunch! read more

This is such a cute spot to come for brunch. The service was quick, but you have to order & pay first before sitting. I ordered the French toast combo and was kind of bummed that they don't serve any sausage, only bacon. The French toast was okay, but I really enjoyed the dirty pirate latte. I also ordered an horchata latte to go, and it was delicious! I'll have to come back and try other things on the menu, but it's definitely worth it for the coffee. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars for now and here's why. Today was first time trying this place as I've driven by it many times. I only wanted coffee, and I ordered a red eye with a coffee cake. I walk in and the place is super cute, and clean! I love the decor, the staff is friendly, oh and dogs are not allowed here fyi. I sat in the front on their comfy couch, when I was served I noticed the coffee cake is not fresh at all. The coffee was good tho. They do have a great menu with lotsssss of options. I will be back for sure to try other items, it's just noted that their pastries may not be fresh daily. read more

Had really high hopes for this place! Sadly, we won't be coming here again. We ordered a horchata latte, a white chocolate mocha latte, and a breakfast burrito. We waited 30+ minutes for all of it and watched all customers who ordered behind us receive their order (there was barely a line of more than 2 people at any point). They finally gave us our order and it was completely wrong: mocha, matcha, and a different burrito with no onions. We were very confused because we thought they gave us someone else's order, but they briskly turned away and barely said anything. They clearly were rushing to make and remake our order (with no apologies or anything). It was confusing and took a while. We just opted to take the burrito as is since we were waiting so long. Honestly, if the coffee was good I probably wouldn't be making this review, but after all of that, the iced lattes were warm and watery :( Very disappointing today, as we were excited to try this place out! read more

Great customer service. Love the cafe look. Very calm and inviting. Food is great. Highly recommend the chicken pesto panini. The dressing on that was great! read more

This is a cute spot to have a quick meeting, not many other options around the area. I love that they serve organic coffee. Their avocado toast is delicious!

My eldest son and I decided to try this place out for Sunday breakfast and we are glad we did. I ordered the fruit French toast with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon while he got the tuna wrap with spinach tortilla. My dish was delicious! The French toast was fluffy and nice amount of sweet. The eggs were tasty and the turkey bacon had that amazing crunch. I washed it all down with a refreshing glass of pulp less fresh squeezed orange juice. My son enjoyed his food as well and loved his strawberry lemonade. I wish the menu had more items but there are other things I wanna try. There is outside seating as well as inside. The people who work there are very warm and friendly. read more

Fast service, great food, friendly service as well. There are several coffee shops in the area, but this is a proper all-in-one cafe. Drop in here for coffee or food and there is bound to be something you'd like. Good for those who want a best of both worlds. It does get rather busy during peak lunch and breakfast, so keep that in mind as sometimes there isn't much seating available. Although, my friend and I never have trouble when we visit for breakfast or brunch. read more

Pretty solid spot for breakfast or lunch. The outdoor seating is dog friendly. The inside is nice a quiet enough to work or study. There are also lots of wall power outlets to power your electronics for uninterrupted work/study sessions. Wifi is available. The service was good, friendly, and speedy. We ordered at the counter and our food was delivered to our table outside pretty quickly. My avocado toast with the over-easy egg and bacon was pretty hearty and balanced in flavor. The fully loaded burrito was really tasty. The bacon had a nice crunch, the potatoes had a good bacon flavor, and the side of salsa added a little extra flavor without being spicy. Iced Tea lemonade was as expected, and the orange juice had an orange whip quality so if you are craving fresh-squeezed pulpy OJ maybe choose an alternative. Overall, the experience was a good one. read more
