My new FAVORITE breakfast & lunch spot -- Café ViVi is an absolute hidden gem!! I actually discovered Café ViVi while visiting the Games Workshop next door, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like family. They go out of their way to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back again and again. The food is unreal. If you're a chili fan, this place is a MUST-visit -- they have FOUR different house-made chili options that increase in spice level, and each one is fantastic. And if you love French toast, do yourself a favor and order the flaked French toast... you will not regret it. Pro tip: try the off-menu chili tater tots at least once. Get the second-hottest chili and load up the toppings -- seriously incredible. The décor has a great local farm-to-table vibe, there's a full bar, and TVs to catch games while you eat. It somehow feels cozy and lively at the same time. Honestly, this might be the best-kept secret in the county -- but it shouldn't stay a secret. More people need Café ViVi in their lives. Go check it out! read more

Amazing service, food and pricing! Chill and welcoming vibe perfect for post workout lunch. The shakshuka was amazing flavorful with perfectly cooked eggs and a tomato sauce. The bread that came with it was fresh and delicious, perfect for dipping. We also ordered the tuna melt, which was warm, crispy, and packed with flavor. Surfer smoothie was the perfect refreshing drink. Tasted fresh and homemade like my grandparents used to make. read more

Excellent service. Staff are very accommodating. Our server is friendly. I got the Noa Chilaquiles. It's filling yeah if you don't mind eating mostly tortillas. 2 eggs and half avocado, no other protein for $19 something. It's expensive. I will get something else next time. Philly steak sandwich is good. This is a better choice for the money. They charge 3.75% for non cash payment. So bring cash if you don't want to pay for that extra. Will I be coming back? Probably read more

Came in about 1 pm and noticed one other party finishing up their meal. Pleasant environment, comfortable seating, super nice wait staff. Ordered a veggie melt sandwich less the cheese and a side salad. My hubby ordered the same with cheese and sweet potato fries. Sandwich presentation looked good, served on focaccia, with a little too much oil and pesto. It was tasty although filling was skimpy on both sandwiches. For $17.00 would have expected more to this sandwich. Free parking in lot out front. read more

Cafe Vivi - Spicy chilaquiles - Bars Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

I heard jinkys sold to different owner and revised the menu. Totally different place and fun menu, and similar spacious seating inside &outside. Ordered the breakfast flat bread, fried chicken Benedict and the Cali melt. The breakfast flat bread was awesome and totally recommend for a group of people to order that as an appetizer to share while ordering your own meal. It has a sweet, spicy and savory favor. The bread is airy , with a nice chew to it. Easy to have as own meal but why not share, that is love. The chicken breast Benedict was hella hearty and very sizeable portion to be stuffed. The server said you might need a pillow after eating this, and yes, it's food coma good. The Cali melt had great garlic toast that you can actually taste garlic not just smell it. Substantial and tasty. The team works well with each other and very attentive to the needs of the table. Would come back. Thinking to try the funky mango burger. read more

The location is the old Jenkys cafe, a lot of the same menu items. Brunch was yummy with our table getting savory and sweet dishes. The frosted French toast with bananas strawberries and drizzled Nutella was yummy and just need a tiny bit of syrup. I would recommend if you want a sweet breakfast! Add the 2 egg and 2 slices of bacon and you have a meal for 2! It was a very nice place for brunch, staff was pretty quick, refilled waters often and were very nice. Dining room was cute and updated but bathrooms need a renovation. read more

I'm am going back next week when my daughter and Granddaughter are here!! I ordered the Cali melt My favorite!! It was perfect! Will be back next week!! The staff was very well attentive and friendly! A great lunch!! read more

This place was super delicious!! Definitely come when the weather is clear so you can sit outdoors, if was so worth it to see the butterflies and flowers. I got a French toast and might I say it is one of the best ones I've ever had! The servers were super attentive as well which was nice considering we were outside! The coffee was also pretty good! Not my taste but my gf loved it so take her words!! Overall will be coming back, what an excellent experience!! read more

Always looking for a good breakfast or brunch spot, this place seemed to check those boxes. The first thing I noticed was the variety of the menu. There were so many things that were unique and sounded good! When I asked about the chili selection for the omelette, I was offered a couple samples which was a really nice gesture and helped me choose. I opted for the chili omelette with El Draque chili...their spiciest one offered. It's not a burn your face off spicy; it's more of a flavorful Thai Chile style spice that hits on the flavor and the heat. Service was good, but I felt it could have been a little more attentive. I never had my water glass refilled while we were there. I was able to try a bite of my wife's breakfast chili chimichanga and it was delicious. She got the mild Bartholomew's Beef chili which was really flavorful without the spice. I liked that item a lot! I'll be back to try some of the other interesting items on the menu here! read more

What a great place! The food was tasty & flavorful, but what made it a great experience was Kylee! Great customer service, friendly and offered chili samples so we could choose the correct heat for us. I was excited about the outdoor seating so the dogs could come.

nothing was fresh. Everything was microwaved. The omelette was dry the crêpes or stretchy probably the only thing they made daily is coffee service was very quick probably because again nothing was made fresh and everything came out really quickly. The ambience is very similar to Denny's to be honest I prefer Denny's. read more

Although the food was good it was just basic. My wife had a salad and didn't ate for the dressing. Watermelon lemonade was good. I had the pollo and eggs. It was tasty but the potatoes were okay. I only went here because it was close to where my uncle lives. Probably wouldn't go back unless he wants to go there. If I do I'll try a sandwich. Give it a try and see for yourself. Service was good read more

Been here twice now and both times the food has been incredible and the place has such a friendly and comforting ambiance. My partner and friends all loved it too!! Will definitely be going back a bunch! read more

Very family friendly environment and attentive service. The breakfast enchiladas were on point.. just spicy enough that I didn't need to add hot sauce but enough to make my nose sniffle. Perfect breakfast brunch or lunch spot. Is very good quality and not overpriced. Hidden gem in the dmv parking lot read more

This place is amazing all around! Posh, The owner, the staff, the food were all 5 stars. The ambience is family friendly however they have a full bar to watch a game or just to socialize. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner and we tried a little of everything and it was all high quality and the service was stellar! We will definitely be back regularly! Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

This a great little spot. I believe it is the old Jinkys location - but I never went there, but I've been to ViVi's four times in one week! They have delicious $10 mimosas - large ones! Amazing salads - the quinoa is fabulous. I don't even add the dressing it's delicious. The egg white omelette also really good. It's only open till 3 but I learned they will be opening for happy hour - which is great as they have full bar! And will do some dinners in a few weeks too. It's tucked away in a shopping center - but perfect little breakfast or lunch spot. Happy to be the first to review! I should mention every staff member extremely kind and very attentive. Fast service!! read more

all i had was the french toast so it wouldn't be fair to leave a bad review when i probably didn't get a better item, but for what i did get this place seems incredibly over priced. service was okay they checked on us once after getting food and drinks. the place looked clean and had a nice style. i'm just disappointed that for 14 dollars i got two slices of french toast with nothing on them at all. my friend got a single crepe for 6 dollars also with nothing added. if either of us want a crepe that has more on it and for cheaper, we would go to eggs n things where they give them out for free. read more

Well the food was generic , nothing to run home about. Particularly , my breakfast meal was sub par. I had the huevos con pollo, and the chicken was super rubbery and dry. It was like it was thrown jn the microwave. Horrible . The service was decent , The ambience was great. My michelada was great . Just work on the chicken read more

Great food and service! Everything we tried was delicious. Only drawback was parking.

Crepes were perfection, over easy egg cooked exactly right, orange juice fresh and sweet. Pesto chicken sandwich is fantastic! Fries are way above average- had to stop myself from ordering more. Service is fast, attentive but not intrusive. Nice layout. Looking forward to Cafe Vivi opening for dinner. read more

Ok, I was pretty apprehensive coming here because when it was Jinkys it was pretty terrible. But to my surprise, now that it's ViVi's, not only is the service great, but the food was on point! We had the Breakfast Enchiladas and the Spicy Omelet, both were excellent. Oh, and we added an extra side of the spicy sauce as well as the Garlic Sourdough from the melt sandwich and it was so good. I'll definitely come back read more

So my family and I went to Cafe vivi for breakfast. Let me tell you, the food as always was fantastic! Service was great even though they were busy.

Good food, great service. Great ambiance. Nice and roomy dining room. Outdoor seating available.

Just passed by this place and decided to try it. Service was great, staff was super friendly and attentive. We went on a Thursday morning so it wasn't too busy. Food was great! I got the Stuffed crepe combo with eggs and bacon. The crepe was so good, not too sweet and the raspberry sauce on top was so good!! Hubby got the eggs Benedict and really liked it. I like that you can get tater tots as a side because I'm not a fan of hash browns or breakfast potatoes. We will definitely go back. read more
