Excellent food! Fantastic service! Amazing ambience! Delicious grilled cheese & tomato sandwich out of this world!

Tomato Omelette Beef Sujuk Breakfast Burrito.
Randy B.

After dropping off my girlfriend at Burbank Airport, I decided to treat myself to something special. Today's adventure brought me to the mother and daughter ingenuity known as Cafe Crisp in North Hollywood. I knew that this ghost kitchen would be an adventure from the start. Parking is nearly impossible, as there are limited street spots on the commercial warehouse area of Fulton Avenue. Challenge accepted. If you are able to score a spot on the street or one of the 10 small parking spaces inside a nondescript warehouse entrance, you'll see the chalkboard signage for Cafe Crisp, along with a keypad entry for all of the food service delivery drivers. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Hermine and her infectious smile. She directed me inside a plain, white walled hallway with two colorful four top tables, one of which was occupied by a family. I sat down and Hermine proceeded to take the family's order while I waited patiently. Since there was no menu, and I obviously didn't walk all the way to the front entrance, I proceeded to ask Hermine what her specialties were. When I mentioned breakfast burritos, she told me of her personal favorite, a Tomato Omelette Beef Sujuk Burrito, from her grandfather's secret recipe. No need to go further, that was the one for me. I also ordered a homemade unsweetened ice tea. Hermine told me she would also bring over some chocolate banana bread, compliments of the house. Within 10 minutes, Hermine brought out a warm slice of the banana bread. This was outstanding. Warm, gooey, the right amount of chocolate and banana sweetness, sans nuts, and gone within 30 seconds. When she returned a few moments layered with my iced tea, she asked me how the bread was. I pointed to the serving board it was provided on and gave her a smile. After serving the family of four next to me with some amazing looking open-faced toasts and waffles for the children, Hermine brought over my wonderfully wrapped and grilled breakfast burrito, complete with a homemade dipping aioli. She mentioned it was very hot, and that the beef was made this morning, complete with tons of Turkish spices and love. I waited a few minutes and made sure my camera got the first few bites before I grabbed the large burrito and took my first bites. Wow! The flavor depth was unlike anything I have had before. The spice level was a 10/10 and definitely packed some serious heat. Lots of garlic, cumin, and tons of wild seasoning combinations that I hadn't experienced before. The tomato, sour cream and eggs perfectly danced with the beef filling, making each bite more delicious than the first. The dipping sauce was also on point, with this meal requiring two hands, tons of napkins and a conquering mindset. I must say, this is one of the best burritos in Los Angeles, with a uniqueness and homemade charisma that you absolutely fall in love with. If you are looking for a unique experience, a passionate team of chefs and some out of this world cuisine, check out Cafe Crisp. It will blow your mind.

Chicken & Bacon Burrito Matcha Agave Latte Banana & Chocolate Chip Bread
Maribel G.

I came here after seeing all the great Yelp reviews, and as a first-timer, I wasn't disappointed! I was warmly greeted by the mom and daughter who run the place--both were so sweet and welcoming. I ordered the chicken and bacon burrito, and it was packed with flavor--absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients in both their food and drinks. The mom prepared my agave matcha latte with oat milk, and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing. The ideal breakfast after a workout! To make the experience even better, the sweet mom gifted me a slice of chocolate chip banana bread as a complimentary treat. I love banana bread, and theirs was moist, flavorful, and so satisfying. I'll definitely be back. Great food, kind people, and a cozy, welcoming vibe!

Avocado Toast
Mary K.

I was thinking about this place again and came back and got some toasts to go and wow everything was so delicious. I got the avocado toast with a fried egg added and the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful and the egg was cooked perfectly. I decided to get a sweet toast as well with the almond butter and nutella. It wasn't too sweet at all it was the right balance and hit the spot! Employees are so sweet I love the family energy I get from them. Can't wait to come back and try different toasts!

Lester L.

Let me start with the amazing woman Helen, instantly with her smile and you can tell she is very passionate about what she does here. This place is in an industrial location, and my girlfriend and I wanted to try it out. They usually only do take out, but have a small spot for guests who want to dine there. It is an industrial building so wasn't to aesthetically pleasing , but let me tell you once Helen started her service I felt like I was in a five star restaurant. She explained how she goes about shopping for menu items and for all the produce. They use a lot of different we seasonings. I had split the avocado toast and a burrito, let me tell you they were delicious. The food amazing the coffee was great!! I can't wait for this place to have its own spot where guests can enjoy the great food and service! Family owned and just wow

John N.

Tucked away in an industrial area and hidden down a nondescript hallway, finding this spot felt like tracking down a modern-day speakeasy. After a bit of an adventurous morning and a few double-takes, we finally stumbled upon the entrance--through a door that led straight into the kitchen--where the two sweetest women greeted us warmly and took our order. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was worth the effort it took to get here, and then some. It's the kind of hidden gem you almost want to keep secret, but the flavors deserve to be shared. If you're up for a little treasure hunt with a delicious reward at the end, this is the place.

Salmon Lox
Wahmeko W.

Genuinely the best ghost kitchen I've ever had, was quite in disbelief that this wasn't a stand-alone cafe. I've had a variety of their toasts and drinks and this is truly a solid and reliable spot to get a good breakfast/brunch in. Food is always fresh and sometimes they will toss in some free goodies to try. Love this place so much!

Mushroom & Brie Toast with an iced oat milk Hazelnut Latte.
Briana M.

I'm mad at myself for not properly researching this ahead of time, so I hope my review helps someone else. When I first got there (parked in their little lot right outside) it looked like I was in the wrong place. There's a cute little sitting area off to the left, and then a long industrial looking hallway straight ahead. I asked someone and she pointed me to a kitchen door where I met with thee sweetest woman. She explained the menu and what they offer. I went with the Mushroom & Brie toast with a poached egg. I also ordered a hazelnut iced latte with oat milk. Let me just say how incredibly delicious everything was. She even threw in a slice of chocolate chip banana bread! When I got home I looked more into their menu and I found so many other items I need to try. I didn't realize they offered 1/2 toasts, this one was two meals! Next time I'm in the area, I will be coming back!

Loaded French Toast
Anastasia T.

Amazing food and service. They make everything theirselves, nothing frozen and it's all organic. Happened to come for the first time on their last day at this location. I will definitely be following where they move to. 10/10 would recommend. The presentation of the food is beautiful. Eat in if you can, don't order to go or get it delivered, you will be missing out on the experience of this beautiful food.

Mel F.

Today marked my second visit to this little mom-and-daughter dynamo. The first time, it took me a minute, as I don't believe I have ever ordered from a "ghost kitchen," nor did I really know what one truly was. If you can find parking in their tiny, shared, industrial parking lot--great. If not and you are only there for grab-and-go pick-up, you can block someone in because you will either pass them in the hall on the way down, or they are a business resident and will know who to come and notify. Either way, you won't be long. If you are going to order when you get there and wait for any amount of time, or eat in the small work cafeteria-style setup at the storefront, be courteous enough to find street parking on Fulton. You can use the exercise to prep your body for all the delicious food you are about to put into it. Order ahead and pay through Yelp!, or order direct and pay through Zelle or Venmo when you get there. For my inaugural visit, I got salmon toast and avocado toast; half slice of each. Everything was Oh. eM. Gee! And they seem to have a practice of bestowing home-baked gifts upon the first-timers. My second and most recent time (though I goofed and ordered full volume on both breads) I got another salmon and a mushroom & brie. Just as A-Mazing! Menu options everywhere are often limited for me, as I have very selective food rules that are not even conventionally boxable. Suffice to say I query the source of all ingredients, so when a place has multiple options for my picky diet, that's a major bonus in the first place. This place has three or four off the jump without alteration. Yet, alter they will, if something looks particularly good but contains one or two ingredients on my strike list. Which brings me to the reviewer who penalized this restaurant in both stars and the text of the review for not having more options readily available for their restrictive vegan diet, despite the business' genuine attempt to accommodate. That kind of feedback undermines the very value of Yelp reviews and equates to penalizing Baskin-Robbins for not having lobster rolls. Fortunately, Café Crisp values locally-sourced, homemade, and harvest-to-heart ingredients wherever possible, providing me a diversity of choice. The homemade cheese spread reminds me more of a kefir-based Krauter-Käse or Quark than traditional cream cheese... for the better! They consider themselves fusion, but they are more braid than blend. I recognize the familiar flavors which drove my American palate to order, while also noting the distinctive cultural signature they bring. TL;DR: Eat. Here. Now!

Avocado toast (vegan, no feta cheese)
Regina R.

There is only one "vegan" menu item, the avocado toast. It's vegan optional if you take the feta off. The toast was fantastic, but there were no other vegan options so it felt bit limited. Would love to see that part of the menu expanded. The server was sweet and accommodating. Ambiance was interesting. Def in an industrial area. But felt a bit lacking. Wish we had a menu to look at. Had to reference Yelp to look at old pics of the menu.

Avacado toast with medium poached eggs
Farzi S.

Looks like art, smells out of this world and tastes amazing. Wholesome food. Amazing chefs and people behind this business. 10 stars all the way.

The good kind of ice
North H.

Cool little spot, big parking lot. The sweet lady that works here gave me an even sweeter cake since it was my first time there (delicious). Coffee was exceptional.

Berry serenade toast. Love the pistachios and fresh berry compote

ACTUALLYYYYYYYY, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT, PLEASE…read more I am so shocked at how delicious and affordable the drinks are. I tried the matcha with banana cold foam and the egg top coffee. Both drinks were delicious! I ordered online and they were busy. I waited an extra 5 minutes on top of the estimated ready time, but it was worth it. The matcha taste is concentrated, but not overly sweet nor bitter. The banana cream top was delicious and even had chunks of real banana. I was excited to try the egg top coffee because it is a rare coffee top to find and it was delicious, just as expected! The coffee they have is also very strong (similar to Vietnamese iced coffee). Overall, I would come back for a coffee or even a matcha! Despite how busy they are, the staff is super friendly and helpful :) Downside: parking is terrible :( Upside: They are open really late!!

You order from an iPad and just wait until your order is ready. I would definitely come back! Parking isn't the greatest though and there's a few long tables inside with chair to enjoy your drink and food.

One in Northridge and the other in Santa Clarita. Met up with a friend on the 15th of this month at exactly 12:50pm. On weekdays they close at 2pm and at 3pm on weekends. Since I heard so much about this place, we both wanted to give this lovely, cute, cozy, quaint restaurant a try. I am glad that we did. It had some nice decor all around including their gender neutral restroom. We were nicely welcomed by Myra with a pretty smile & she gave us an option to sit inside or outside. Decided to sit outside even though it was very windy. Took less than 5 minutes for our server by the name of Meliza to come and take our order. I am glad to have asked her the spelling of her name. Most of them spell it as Melissa. She was a very pleasant young lady and had a good attitude. Also very helpful. She checked on us a few times during our visit. We ordered few things from their extensive menu options. Neither one of us had tried Chilaquiles. I guess there is a 1st time for everything. The base was crunchy, semi thick corn chips topped with: over medium eggs, green tomatilla, red raw onions, cilantro, Queso Fresco cheese, sour cream, garnished with red redish add chicken for extra $4.99. We asked for the green sauce instead of red. Less spicy. We also ordered their Victory Sandwich that came with: two scrambled eggs, avocado, goat cheese, tomato, and hash brown on a nice toasted wheat bun. We were very hungry as you can tell:-))) Last but not least, we got their Avocado Toast nicely toasted on Sourdough bread, two poached eggs, avocado spread, Arugula salad, & micro greens (garnished with red radish). For drinks, since they didn't have Horchata, I opted for a single shot decaf Spice Latte with Oat milk. We both stayed with water. Latte along with the food was very delicious, fresh, made to PERFECTION! I have to confess that the Chilaquiles stole the show. It was THAT GOOD!! The food came out quick and fast. Parking is shared with two other businesses. A nail salon and a dental clinic. Thank you Myra, Meliza, management and Garcia Brothers. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
