    Philly melt Sandwich with sweet potatoe fries+$1. Better choice than the Chilaquiles.
    Arev L.

    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

    Veggie melt with sweet potato fries
    Elisa H.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy chilaquiles

    Service was great. I really enjoyed my go to chilaquiles. They weren't too spicy. It was just right amount of kick.

    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.

    Crunchy French toast

    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!!

    Chili Sample
    Michael F.

    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!

    Outdoor seating
    Jennifer F.

    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. Next time I come back I want to try the chilaquiles.

    Excellent menu. Great service at fair prices. Nice ambiance indoor and outdoor. Jinki's was the old restaurant that used to be here. We'll definitely come back and try their breakfast.

    We had such a great breakfast at Cafe Vivi. The food was hot and flavorful. Good size portions. We met one of the owners who was friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend.

    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!!

The space itself is chic and impossibly cute, a mini cafe that feels like a hidden boutique find, quaint in all the right ways. The croissants are the genuine article: buttery, flaky layers with that perfect golden exterior that only comes from someone who truly knows what they're doing. Every pastry here is crafted with care and it shows in every bite. And the mocha coffee? That alone is worth the trip. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it pairs beautifully with anything in the pastry case. The staff are warm and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. One thing to keep in mind: this is not a drive-through. It's a small owner-operated cafe where everything is made with intention. Come with time to spare, settle in, and let the experience unfold. Good things take time, and here that philosophy is baked right into everything they do. Yes, prices lean a bit higher than your average coffee shop, but this is quality you can taste. You're paying for authentic French technique that honors the tradition. La Princière is a Thousand Oaks treasure worth every unhurried minute.

I was hoping to add this place to my rotation of local breakfast hangout spots that I patronize. In the dining room, they were streaming some pulsating hyperpop music laden with heavy explicit lyrics. Totally inappropriate. Not the type of vibe I'm looking for at 7:30 in the morning. Ordered the sausage breakfast burrito. The burrito was heavy on the breakfast potatoes, it took up more than half of the burrito. Unfortunately, the potatoes were all undercooked which made them CRUNCHY and unbearably BLAND. The amount of thin breakfast sausage slices inside was small relative to the entirety of the burrito. The scrambled eggs with cheese inside were very good! It came with a small cup of salsa which was excellent, unfortunately the cup was only half filled. It was not nearly enough as the burrito was so bland because of the large amount of undercooked potatoes. I could have easily used two or three cups of salsa to give it taste. I'll be willing to give them a second chance in a few weeks, I'm curious to see if my experience will be better as I am hoping that today was just an aberration.

This place also feels homey. If you take a moment to look around, you'll notice the personal touches such as the artwork, photos, and thoughtful details that tell a story of their family. Okay Now to get to the good stuff the drinks and bites are stellar, here's what I got: I finally found a seriously addicting chai here in the 805. I'm very picky about chai, so when Robin insisted "you're trying this" so I listened and I'm so glad I did haha. Freshly brewed, no artificial flavors, perfectly spiced. I think I would dub this one of the BEST chai's I've ever had. 10/10. Their classic breakfast bites hit the spot too. I had a breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon and a fresh egg. Simple but good. I'd get this again but also would be open to trying some of their other bites. 8/10. The handmade bakery section here was unreal. The apple pastry I ordered was pure nostalgia and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more of their daily baked goods. The selection was huge and lots of different options to try. I think their passionfruit pastry will be calling my name next time. Lastly I leave you with a Fun fact: if you're a football fan or into chess, this is your cafe. Chess tables are available for playing at and it's the perfect morning spot to catch matches over coffee and pastries. Liverpool fans especially welcome here ;) Sorry it took me so long to find this spot but they've got a new fan now!
