    Ordering counter
    Baroque P.

    Easy ordering experience, though it's counter service it's still nice. This is inside the fun Blossom Market, an enjoyable casual modern vibe, and I had the popcorn chicken, its marinaded with their in-house marinade. Recommended by many other Yelpers!

    It was my first time here and I was impressed by the strawberry classic crepes that were not that sweet. I absolutely love it, and the Passion Fruit Lemonade was a bit sweet for me. The service was fine, the lady was helpful. It's located inside the Blossom Market Hall it's very cozy with a great art roof very colorful... Perfect for a group gathering or couple casual date. Recommended it..

    I recently enjoyed the "BAE Sandwich" at Cafe Et Cetera located within the great, Blossom Market Hall and it was a delightful experience. This tasty sandwich features crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and fluffy eggs on a lightly toasted bun. The true key to my experience, was the top-notch service. There was only one person working when I came in and I could tell I ordered during some of her crucial prep... but she held down my orders and others, all by herself, with big smile! Shoutout to her!

    Chicken Sandwich with Tater Tots
    Kislev A.

    CAFE ET CETERA is located inside BLOSSOM MARKET HALL. The line to order was short. The wait to get our food wasn't too long, The HOLY MOLY CHICKEN SANDWICH with TATER TOTS was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned and was surrounded by a fluffy bun. There are plenty of tables in the indoor eating area.

    Strawberry cheesecake crepe; yum!

    I adore their strawberry cheesecake crepe! It's delicious and so unique. I'm a sucker for cream cheese. Love coming here, it's always been good. The cashier was friendly, and it wasn't crowded when I came on a Friday afternoon. If possible, weekdays are the best time to visit to avoid crowds.

    This was one of the last few restaurants open near closing time at blossom market so I gave it a try. Staff were super friendly and helped explain our order. I tried out these items. Jianbing - Think this maybe a limited item that might be taken off the menu in the future. It's the only savory crepe that they had and it was quite tasty. I got it extra spicy and it definitely had a kick. Had a soft outside with a crunchy interior from the fried wontons. Overall it was interesting and I liked it. (4.5/5) Funky Monkey - This crepe was a perfect balance of texture and flavors. It had a good amount of bananas and chocolate. Was interesting to see corn flakes on top but it added a nice crunch. Funny name as well. (5/5) Tater Tots - Super basic tots with ketchup but it came hot and crispy. Nothing special but they hit if you enjoy basic tots. (4/5) Overall I enjoyed the crepes that they had here. I wish they had more savory crepes than just the one but the sweet crepes all looked good. Price seemed reasonable at about $10-$12 dollars per crepe. I'd try out some of the other crepes forsure!

    The food here is excellent! I would eat here every day especially for their breakfast burrito! We have tried everything on the menu and all their ingredients are of great quality. And the staff is so friendly. I highly recommend this business.

    BEST chicken sandwich.

    I cannot compliment this sandwich and the service enough! This is the BEST, most flavorful, most crispy chicken sandwich ever--and I don't even like chicken sandwiches! My wife bought one and forced me to try it and now I--I!--am the one who's going back for the sando. The fries and tater tots are perfectly seasoned and fried--crisp, light--and the service is friendly and attentive. Go get the sandwich!

    Wings with Sauces in the side.

    Very friendly staff that helped us with our order since it was our first time. We ordered Funky Monkey, wings ( sauces on the side) a green tea. Food was great. We came back later and ordered the garlic noodles. It was very tasty as well.

    We were participating in the cicLAvia bicycle event and the Blossom Market was swamped with hungry bikers and locals. We wanted breakfast so we ordered a breakfast burrito with no meat and their spiciest salsa. The burrito was a good size and we shared it. It included scrambled eggs, cheese, tater tots, but no onions were available to add on. It was cheesy and flavorful once we added the salsa.

    BAE sandwich
    Karen T.

    Out of all the vendors in Blossom Market Hall, I decided to try this one. I did not have the crepes, so my review is only for the sandwich/burger. Prices increased again, so it is quite pricey now... It was about $20 just for one burger combo. ETC Burger: Beef patty was flavorful, sunny side up egg was cooked perfectly, and brioche bun was warm. The lettuce was a nice addition. This was yummy, although not amazing. BAE Sandwich: Stands for bacon, avocado, cheese. Scrambled eggs were good, cheese was plentiful, and avocado was fresh, but bacon was overcooked in my opinion. I would prefer the bacon to be not so burnt. Tater tots were nice and crispy. The salad was just a basic salad, not bad.

    Jessica, the owner of the shop was very friendly and fast with our order. We ordered the strawberry Nutella crepe. It came out fast and the strawberries were really fresh and sweet. Blossom Market Hall is really spacious and clean with ample parking. We will come again.

    Strawberry Cheesecake
    Michelle T.

    Cafe Et Cetera is the place to go for delicious crepes! I got their strawberry cheesecake crepe. It came with their house-made cheesecake spread, fresh strawberry slices, strawberry syrup, and powdered sugar. The entire crepe was delectable! To my pleasant surprise, it wasn't too sweet! It was the perfect sweetness, and I loved how creamy their house-made strawberry cheesecake spread was. The fresh strawberry slices were so refreshing with each bite. The dough wasn't too thin or too thick. It was just perfect! I devoured this dessert so quickly because it was AMAZING! I would highly recommend coming here!

Knowing what I know now as I write this review, we would return & bring friends here. It's about 78 to 80°F on a Friday a few minutes before 1 pm, surprisingly, it was low key--only a couple tables taken indoors by patrons and a set of guys on the patio. At the door, it said to seat ourselves & I immediately shot to the patio. The set up: once seated, the server comes with menus, you order & it's a sit down meal. Giselle was our friendly & attentive server, young & attentive. Hubby ordered the breakfast burrito ($11.50) & I opted for build your own omelette $11.50 for a 3 egg omelette & choice of two items- mushroom and bell peppers accompanied with breakfast potatoes, and chilaquiles ($13.99) to share. The patio seating is fresh, airy, there are tables, outdoor furnitures (sofas) and bright orange umbrellas for shade. My photos captured these elements. The food arrived shortly, although not all at once. I didn't mind it all because the ambiance was so soothing with the sound of birds chirping away and the background of other patrons talking. The only complaint from Hubby was too many pototo chunks in his burrito. My omelette was hot, fresh ingredients, delectable & the potatoes were mixed with 3 colors of bellpeppers. Oh and the chilaquiles? Pretty darn good! The tortilla chips were crispy, perfect amount of green salsa, freshly diced onions & a sprinkling of cotija cheese. Was I famished or was it that good that I devoured everything? What's left was Hubby's potato chunk discards. Giselle returned a few times to ensure our experience is to our satisfaction & another staff also stopped by to check on us. Such a perfect meal & day-- I'm so happy with this visit. Parking is plentiful & free.

Unfortunately, the food and service experience left me very disappointed. The menu is surprisingly rigid, particularly for anyone with dietary restrictions. There are very few vegan options, and what was most frustrating was the unwillingness to make even very simple accommodations to existing menu items. For example, I ordered a salad and simply asked for the steak to be served on the side rather than mixed into the salad. I wasn't asking for ingredients to be removed or for the dish to be changed--I was only asking for the steak to be served separately. I was told this could not be accommodated. For a restaurant at this level, I found that unnecessarily inflexible. The customer service also left a lot to be desired. I had an interaction with the supervisor, Santos, that felt particularly lacking in empathy and understanding. Even when a restaurant has policies or limitations, there is a way to communicate them with a little warmth and consideration. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. It's a shame because the restaurant has so much going for it visually and atmospherically. I really wanted the overall experience to match the beautiful setting, but the inflexible menu and customer service made it difficult to enjoy the visit. I hope the restaurant will consider offering more options for guests with dietary restrictions and empowering its staff to make reasonable accommodations.

I liked the pics on Yelp and so finally got to try it for brunch this week, and boy is this place GOOD! Parking can be a drag even on a weekday mid-morning despite there being a good amount of parking spots on the entire block. That was a hassle. Once I found something, I went into the place, which is a small breakfast joint - not divey or anything, but also not particularly decorated. Didn't really matter though. The star for me were the pancakes. I got the blueberry pancakes, a side of bacon, a side of their breakfast potatoes, and a glass of fresh lemonade. The lemonade was good and clearly made fresh in-house, I think. The bacon was good, but bacon is always good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, which was good because lately I've tried way too many breakfast places with bland, sad potatoes. Not here. The pancakes were amazing. They are super fresh and fluffy and served with an amazing cookie butter syrup. It may sound sweet, but it's not overly so. I honestly think these are some of the best pancakes I've had in many years in all of Los Angeles. They were honestly that good. And, I don't usually rave about pancakes very often. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The place was doing a good amount of business considering I went when most people should be in school or work and too early for lunch.

Second round of bacon was actually good, so obviously it could be done. The biggest disappointment was the chicken fried chicken. The chicken breast was extremely dry. The potatoes were good, the eggs were good, but the main part of the meal just wasn't there. When it was time to pay, Elizabeth brought my check and I politely gave her my feedback. I wasn't asking for anything free. I wasn't trying to get the meal taken off the bill. I paid for my food. I simply explained that the chicken was really dry and asked whether they hear that complaint often. Her response was basically, "Everybody has their own opinion." And that right there killed the experience for me. Of course everybody has an opinion--that's exactly what a review is. But when a paying customer calmly gives you feedback about the food, there's a difference between saying, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, I'll mention it to the kitchen," and basically dismissing them. For a locally known café with this many reviews, I expected more pride in both the food and the customer service. I'm not comparing Millie's to Denny's or some giant chain. I actually expect more from an independent neighborhood café. Joey: great job. Potatoes and eggs: good. Second bacon: good. Chicken fried chicken: dry and disappointing. Handling of customer feedback: terrible. I came in because of the reputation. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to it.

    Definitely me and my babies, one of our favorite Hawaiian food places! It's a super cute family…read moreowned spot. Our favorite is the Portuguese style breakfast as well as their signature pancakes and or French toast with their special macadamia topping! Super yummy They also have our favorite Hawaiian can drink drinks. We usually get the purple or the black can. hehe

    I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now and because I got some local food passport as a gift…read morerecently, it reminded me to make my way here. I got their two item breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage and steamed veggies with over-easy eggs; and a small pancakes as part of the passport offering. The breakfast plate was a bit bland, including their sausage, which is thinly sliced versus what I've seen on their Yelp page (inflation sized sausages). I mean, I get why there are soy sauce and hot sauce condiments readily available. My steamed veggies turned out to be veggies in a teriyaki sauce, which I guess was fine as it added more flavor to my breakfast plate. I don't have any authority to judge what good pancakes are since I never order it, but theirs was fluffy with a slightly sweetened cream sauce that reminds me of the custard in a cream puff pastry. But the pancakes were 1 1/2 times double the size of my head so it's huge! I barely made a dent in most of the food so I guess I have leftovers for days now. Service was good and the place had a nostalgic charm to it. If you're in search of ginormous portions in carbs for a reasonable price, then this is your place.
