Inside
Kreng K.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

I saw this place had good reviews and they did not disappoint! From the flowery vibe to the cute and colorful drinks everything was greats I got the avocado toast and the chicken spinach mushroom crepe and both were amazing. I think this is my new go-to spot! 11/10

One of LA's best hidden gems, a must visit for Brunch. You might come the first time for the incredible food, delicious coffee and speciality drinks, whimsically cozy atmosphere or the house made syrups and sauces but you'll come back again and again for the people that make this place magical. Owners Jenny and Billy, together for 30 years are warm and friendly and light this place up. All the art on the walls of both side by side restaurant concepts is done by Billy. Jenny will take the time to strike up a conversation and make you laugh. Colin wears many important hats but on our visit, he made us 2 lattes that were definitely something to write home about, with the touch of a true professional who cares about his work and using the house made salted caramel syrup that he makes himself. And our server Zaira, was attentive and kind. Her service was quick and she always managed to intuit our needs and make us feel welcome and at home even though it was our first visit. If you want a brunch experience you'll surely not forget, densely visit Butterfly Pea. We tried the crying tiger fried rice, the lemongrass marinated fried chicken and waffles and the rosemary potatoes. Based on what we ate, I think anything you order form this place will blow your mind.

We went here for Valentine's Day brunch. Cute place & delicious food. The only complaint was the steak that was served to my husband was not of good quality but we loved the waffles & toast. They have must try drinks too that tasted ok but are picture perfect!

tom kha french toast

The food was amazing, especially the chicken waffles and crying tiger steak fried rice! The Tom Kha French Toast wasn't my favorite but I think I just got too full. The staff is all really nice too. Would come again for sure.

To end the night before we headed off to dinner, we stopped by The Semi- Tropic bar for drinks. The parking situation was difficult to say the least-- there is no street parking or parking lot. And the neighborhood behind the bar is filled with park cars. We were lucky and parked at a parking lot that was for the surrounding business (so sorry to the pizza/ weed shop!). We arrived at around 6:30 PM so it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by one of the servers and she gave us options to either sit at a lounge table area or hightop tables. We opted for the hightop tables because we knew we weren't staying there for long. The server was friendly and patient as we looked over the menu for drinks. I've been sober for about a year so I only had water, my boyfriend ordered a Naoshima Dream, his cousin ordered a Mango Cart, and his cousin's girlfriend ordered a Lemon Drop Martini. The bar was super cute and hipster! I honestly would have loved going to this bar back when I used to drink. It's dimly lit, had a vintage 20's speakeasy feel to it and the music was a vibe. I'd recommend coming here for a little date with your partner or even coming with a group of friends. My boyfriend had been here once before and he said the food was really good and affordable. He had a panini and said for bar food it was a 10/10. We waited maybe like 10 minutes for our drinks to come, we were having such a fun time chatting and enjoying the environment that it didn't feel long at all. My boyfriend, his cousin, and his cousin's girlfriend really enjoyed their drinks. They said the drinks tasted "light" insinuating that there was barely any alcohol in it. Don't let the taste fool you, after finishing half of their drink there were full of smiles, giggles, and had a great buzz going. The prices here were all pretty fair for the cost and quality of the drinks. Would defintely recommend coming here for drinks and dinner for a date night or a night out with friends!

Indoor and outdoor seating available, Bar Henry is a cool little for in Echo Park serving up tasty cocktails in a friendly, local feeling environment. We tried a few cocktails when we visited. The Butthole Surfer is their version of a pina colada which, while decent, could have been a little more flavor forward. Feel it is premade in batches as I didn't see it made fresh but was brought getting the back, but still decent. The Lucid Dream had the smokiness from the mezcal posted with the mandarin, but then the rosemary comes in and helps add a little balance to the drink. The Swimsuit Edition was more flavor forward, but the passion fruit didn't necessarily pop in the drink for us. And finally was the Snitches Get Stitches, another mezcal drink with mango and horchats. Interesting was my first thought, then you start getting the nuances of the different interested and it's a respectable cocktail. Overall, good drinks, friendly people, chill atmosphere, and a nice addition to the bar scene in Echo Park
