Butterfly pea latte ... so good!
Gayle G.

Wonderful brunch. As always the food was incredible! The crepes the mango waffles, exotic teas and coffee's. Was so peaceful on a weekend afternoon! We sat for 3 hours in this beautiful paradise!!!

Chicken & waffles

Food was great spicy! You can choose your level but the Latino Caribbean in me needed level 4 but I could've done 5! Run for their brunch! And they have little mimosas that are delicious. The price for 3 people, drinks and food was a little under $100 and it was filling. The staff was so sweet and the decor felt really homely.

Waffle, berries, and buttery eggs and crying tiger fried rice!

Small and unassuming, in a drab strip mall... but so much thought and care goes into everything at this restaurant. The coffee drinks are just amazing and unique. The coffee itself is exceptional, so anything additional is chef's kiss. Fiance wanted to order two drinks, one to go. I wouldn't let him... but it was that good. (I'm partial to the salted caramel latte with almond milk. He likes the spicy Thai coffee latte with almond milk. It's fierce!) I've loved everything I've tried here, but I do prefer any dressing on the side for the crepes and salad. (If you're in the mood for a light and healthy drink, try the butterfly pea tea. It's delicious and changes color if you add lemon.)

Inside

I was so excited to give this place a try. Unfortunately, we weren't able to try their food due to extremely poor service. When we arrived, we were greeted curtly and seated at a table, near the exit, directly in the line of sight of the bar/counter where the staff is at. After receiving the menu, we were ignored 10-15 mins. No one offered water, asked if we had any questions, nor acknowledged us in any way despite being directly in the line of sight of the bar/counter. During this time, staff assisted other guests seated around us including taking orders from a party directly behind us but never returned to our table or acknowledged us. To be clear, there is only a total of 3 parties: a lone guy next to us who was already eating, our party and the party seated behind us. At one point, another server delivered water to the guy next to us so naturally we tried to call for his attention but were also ignored. Eventually, we left without being spoken to. Horrible experience for a place with only 3 parties on a Saturday morning around 10 AM. Mind you, there are at least 3 people behind the counter. They lack basic hospitality and for that alone, I won't be coming back nor would I recommend this place.

Our second time here in 3 days! We live 8 mins away and were looking for a brunch spot to take my partners sister out during her visit here. There's a parking lot attached to the storefront, and tons of street parking-- so taking your car over should be no issue. Wheelchair accessible. Vegetarian options galore-- they also accommodate GF! Colin was our bartender and was lovely-- I did their bottomless mimosas and lychee was a personal fav, tho mango comes close! Did their salmon waffle dish this round, their honey lemon dressing is on the sweeter side so I get it on the side and add in 2 over easy eggs. They've got a delicious homemade hot sauce, add it into your order! The ambiance leaves a lot to feast your eyes on, with blended artistic elements that are shared visions of the owner and her husband. What a gorgeous find! We'll see you soon, Butterfly Pea Cafe!

So glad I found Butterfly Pea Cafe! Their brunch menu is so unique. I got the tom yum shrimp toast because I love tom yum soup and was curious to see how they'd make a toast out of it. I was really surprised how they did it and I think they did it well. The toast is fried crispy with bits of garlic and you can really taste the lime and pepper flavors in the tom yum sauce, which isn't too spicy. The shrimp along with all the other ingredients they used were very fresh. My boyfriend got the smoked salmon toast and I liked that they topped the fresh salmon with salmon roe. Portions run kind of small, and in the end I think my boyfriend and I could have split another plate, but we had to leave soon as we finished. Their butterfly pea flower and matcha was pretty good. It was more vanilla flavored than matcha but I liked the matcha powder they used. However, the matcha layer was a bit too frothy that the texture wasn't smooth. Overall I like the vibe of the restaurant. Cute decor and great music playlist to set the ambience. I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu!

Tom Yum avocado toast

We decided to try this spot while we were in the area and ordered a few different things. The tom kah shrimp toast was amazing nice crunch on the toast and the sauce paired really well. Definitely one of my favorite dishes here. We also got the tom yum avocado toast, which was pretty good too. It had a nice combination of flavors and was well balanced. The smoked salmon crepe was my least favorite. It was a bit too overpowering with all the sauces combined, so it didn't really work for me. For dessert, we tried the mango mango and it was really good super creamy and the mango was perfectly in season. We also got a Thai tea mocktail, but that one was a little underwhelming. It didn't have a strong Thai tea flavor. The interior is really cute with a floral design, which I liked a lot. The server were attentive and kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good, which I appreciated. Just a heads up since it's a Thai restaurant, a lot of the dishes lean toward the sour side, so if you're not into that it might feel a bit overpowering. Overall, it's a solid spot to try, and I would come back if I'm in the area again.

The restaurant has such a beautiful interior and a great atmosphere! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent too. Highly recommend!

The Tom Kha Shrimp French Toast was both sweet and savory with just the right spice. I was pleasantly surprised by this combo.

Outstanding little gem of a restaurant with Thai fusion menu and wonderful staff. Breakfast was delicious.

Lemongrass chicken and waffles with hot syrup *chefs kiss*

It's funny, I used to live in the area for years and never thought to stop into Butterfly Pea...and that's because it didn't exist yet. This is actually an extension of the Thai restaurant next door, and it's a brilliant use of the space and kitchen. The menu is thoughtfully designed, with a great selection of Thai-influenced brunch and lunch options and some unique cocktails and mocktails. The coffee creations are fantastic as well. I really have to give it up to the staff Colin and Zaira, they are very attentive and gave recommendations on what to try. I was also greeted by Jenny and her husband Billy, what awesome owners! It's a hidden gem of Los Feliz. Make sure you stop in and give it a shot!

Fried chicken and waffle and mango crepe
Vandana V.

I went out with my girlfriend, and we had the iced latte and the strawberry Matcha! The drinks are very unique and had a very good aesthetic to it. We had the mango crepe and the fried chicken and waffles and it had a thigh infusion to it. It came along with a spicy sauce that was delicious! Highly recommend this cute brunch spot!

I am rarely surprised by breakfast places, but Butterfly Pea Cafe is something special. The food tastes far beyond the menu description. The decor is super well done. And the service is unassuming and lovely. Would give this more stars if possible. Definitely coming back.

Jack T.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. I ordered the Steak & Eggs Waffle with rosemary potatoes, and it was unreal -- perfectly cooked steak, flavorful eggs, crispy waffle, and the rosemary potatoes were seasoned to perfection. Every bite hit. I also tried the mango matcha and guava matcha, and both were refreshing, smooth, and beautifully balanced -- not overly sweet and clearly made with care. The service was top-tier: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they care about both the food and the people walking through the door. If you're looking for a spot with incredible flavors, creative drinks, and great vibes, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back.

He was friendly, welcoming, and gave us a great first impression. However, our experience afterward was disappointing. We waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated and another 20-30 minutes before anyone took our order. I understand that restaurants get busy, and we were trying to be patient because we could see the staff was overwhelmed. When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.

(A lot of thought went into the acoustics & speaker system.) This chic establishment serves up European-inspired small plates, and their cocktail program melds inspiration with a respect for classic structure. The sultry pulsating bass lines that ooze through the speakers set the tone for a chilled vibe, and the tropical motifs provide an escape from reality. It's a great spot to relax and catch a game or hang with friends, which I did. I met some of my favorite Yelp peeps here for Sunday Brunch. We received a warm & friendly welcome from Rasheeda (bartender). She was darling, as was our server, Mason. They were both fantastic. We settled into the cozy couches tucked in the corner and ordered several dishes to share: Hummus, Prosciutto Panino, Eggplant Panino, Mediterranean Eggs, Green Shakshuka, & Fries. Drinks consisted of: Nitro Cold Brew, Bloody Mary, Age of Aquarius, & a Lavender Gimlet. The fries were tossed with rosemary salt and came with garlic aioli & ketchup. They were addicting & delicious. My Lavender Gimlet did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their selections, and we had a great time together. This was the perfect meet up spot. I'm looking forward to coming back. *Street parking (can be tricky.) Metered parking across the street. *Happy Hour 2 pm - 6 pm daily & all-day Monday.
