Definitely Venice prices and limited seating options. We got burritos and cold brew to go and went and sat on the beach. Very good quality and the burrito is definitely worth the price. They do not skimp on the egg and bacon! One of the better cold brews in the area as well read more

Great food rude service stopped coming here cause of the lady attitude, especially for the price smh should be nicer

Most bomb ass breakfast burrito I've ever had in my life. I ordered the turkey sausage burrito and yeah it changed my life that I had to write this review in between the heavenly bites. Come here and you'll forever be glad you did! read more

Flake - Turkey sausage burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Everything about this place is my favorite -- I lived up the street from Flake and frequented this cute little spot. It's got a local feel, and the staff has all been there forever. There's indoor and outdoor seating, but the indoor seating gets a little too hot on a hot day. If you're in a hurry, they've never messed up a to-go order in the 10 years that I've been frequenting this spot. If you're trying to knock out a beach day and score a meal before, definitely order to-go and take it to the beach with you. Weekends get packed, so order online or for-pick up. The coffee is fantastic. Lattes are great. The menu options are appealing to anyone -- the veggies, vegans, ketos, paleos, dairy-frees, and everyone in between can find something super good on the menu. My go-to's: - Acai Bowl add berries and avocado on top (the staff will do double-take and ask you if you're sure, but if you like avo in any way shape or form, you'll thank me) - Bacon Breakfast Burrito (get a side of secret sauce to dip in... it's bomb) - The Super Cro-Jo (again... get extra secret sauce) - The Neptuna Melt Pro-Tip: There is a bus that parks on the side of Flake most weekends, and it is PACKED with rad vintage gear: band tees, Harley Davidson stuff, vintage wranglers and vintage Levis... it's called The Dig Rigg. Jason, the owner and the awesome human who finds all the goodies, is super knowledgeable and helpful. He takes Venmo. Follow him on IG - @thedigrigg read more

On the Uber ride over, the driver and I agreed that it's difficult to mess up a breakfast burrito. Most are pretty tasty! It turns out Flake is no real exception. The burritos are a little small. I got the turkey sausage breakfast burrito and was surprised by how compact it was, but it is, after all, just eggs, cheese, and cut up turkey sausage. No breakfast potatoes, or onion, or anything. But you can order some avocado in it for an additional $3, if you like... read more

Flake definitely lives up to the hype! My husband and I stopped by here to pick up the Super CroJo (breakfast croissant) on our way to explore Venice. I absolutely love croissants and have been searching for the best croissant sandwiches. They have one of the best breakfast croissants sandwiches that I've ever had. The croissant was perfectly flaky, and I loved their secret sauce with the addition of vegetables. Come early or call in your order because this place definitely gets busy in the morning. I definitely recommend Flake if you're in the area! I can't wait to try the other items on their menu. read more

Look, nothing fancy. Just a standard, well-executed breakfast burrito. Doing the simple things right. Could use more flare in the burrito- crunchy tater tots or something. But, it's a good spot. Consistent. read more

Am I missing something here??? Why does this place have such well rated reviews. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and it was ok. The croissant tasted like it came from Costco and nothing about this sandwich wow'ed me. I also ordered an iced latte and I'm sorry but it was the worst latte I've ever had. It tasted like watery coffee from a keurig and I threw it away :( they also had no seating. Maybe I just came on a bad day idk read more

Tried this place and I can say that their cro-Jo IS INCREDIBLE!!! Definitely my new favorite go to when I come down to Venice :)) the service and food are amazing as well as their prices! Friendly and welcoming no doubt read more

Flake - Cro-jo w/ latte w oat milk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

First time at this place and Lord please let it not be the last! Twas a fantastic experience - line was short on a sunny Sunday morn and we got the Veggie Rad Sandwich with a croissant and the Reggie veggie with a croissant. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious and reasonably priced (~$10 each). The banana bread ($4.36, get it toasted) was also delicious, especially with coffee. Highly recommend this place, it's worth the hype! read more

The reviews for Flake are off the charts so I had to give it a shot.. I was impressed! The thing I loved most was how fresh and healthy it all tasted. I got the super cro-jo: Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, smoked gouda cheese, greens, tomato, and secret sauce on a toasted croissant. I was expecting it to be super heavy and greasy, as most croissant-style sandwiches are. However, it was very healthy tasting! Again, I loved how fresh everything tasted. It wasn't popping with flavor but I just felt good after I ate it. Also, their fresh OJ was fantastic. If I were in the area I'd come back. Probably wouldn't come out of my way to come here though. read more

This place was a perfect place for a reasonably priced chill brunch with very strong "Venice" vibes! We ordered the turkey sausage breakfast burrito, two breakfast sandwiches, an açaí bowl, a flat white, and an iced coffee for a total of about $50. The breakfast burrito was huge and so filling that I only ate half. It had a perfect ratio of eggs, cheese, and sausage and when I dipped it in the salsa verde it came with, it was amazing! Even if you don't like salsa, use the salsa. The other sandwiches also had perfectly balanced flavors and my friends, who never finish their meals, loved it so much that they both finished their plates! The sandwiches came with a nice mixed lettuce blend with a DELICIOUS balsamic dressing and was a perfect light side to balance the sandwiches. We shared the açaí bowl and it was nice and thick with a good balance of bananas and granola. The location is small, but they have nice outdoor seating and overall, we had a very pleasant, chill experience. read more

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you should always take breakfast advice from the drunk guy that followed you and your friends home. Because that advice led us to Flake. We were agonizing over the menu, so I asked one of the friendly folk behind the counter what he would order. The answer was immediate: "The bacon burrito. Grilled. With special sauce inside." Done. My lady also needed some breakfast though, and the acai bowl sounded amazingly healthy...so we went with the Super Cro-Jo instead. A croissant stuffed with bacon, eggs, gouda and more...it hit the spot, but I preferred the burrito overall. Eating both in the sunshine, with your caffeinated beverage of choice, makes for a fine morning in Venice. read more

Flake? What is this place?! Well, I guess it's sort of a cereal bar / breakfast/brunch restaurant. Open everyday from 7AM - 3:30PM. Never heard of it before.. I think it's more of a local's place. Some of them just rolled out of bed and came down... But, my sister bought a $15 gift certificate off of groupon ... so here we are. Flake is a small restaurant.. I don't think it's good for big groups. It's also very Orangy. Cute. Plenty of street parking. I got the The Croissan-wich Jones (Scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and applewood smoked bacon on a warm, flaky croissant for $5.75). My sister got the Fancy Turkey Panini (Herb turkey breast, creamy French brie, pesto and avocado for $8.95) The Croissan-wich was pretty good. It looked... unhealthy.. probably because of all the cheese and.. all the butter in that croissant. (Yes, it was super crispy and flaky). It tasted god though. :) The Panini was not bad. I liked it. It also came with chips. I'd probably get that the next time I'm here. Oh.. you also get free coffee with any pastry purchase. read more

I feel very much at home here. That's just the vibe this place gives off. Everyone is friendly and cheerful. The service is mellow, nothing over the top. It's just a mellow take care of your every need kind of vibe. The food is exceptional. My daughter took a look at her food and said "Mom, this more looks like a dessert." I asked her if she thought bacon should be dessert. She responded that "Sometimes dessert should have bacon." Nice Its fast and delicious. It also puts a smile on your face. read more

Holy! I'm so happy that my friend and I ordered takeout breakfast at Flake during our time in SoCal. We needed to grab some quick food before our hike, and Flake exceeded our expectations. We both ordered the Super Cru Jo and loved it. I added avocado to mine and also got an iced latte with oat milk. Everything was delicious! However, the sandwich might be a bit small for people with big appetites. I was pretty hungry that morning, and I probably could have eaten another sandwich (same goes for my friend who generally just eats more). Highly recommend this place for all your breakfast needs. read more

You know what I miss? Digging through a box of lucky charms to get a prize. This place brings me back to those times. When life was simple. When cereal came with a fun toy not a barcode to send to General Mills plus cost of shipping. I miss the instant gratification. Alas, Flake made my last morning in Los Angeles awesome. Framed cereal box covers cover an entire wall of the restaurant. Oldies music playing in the background. Super cozy. The menu, however, is definitely not all traditional. I had the Super Cro-Jo: Scrambled Eggs, Crispy Bacon, Smoked Gouda Cheese, Greens, Tomato, and Secret Sauce on a Toasted Croissant. Not your average bacon, egg, and cheese. All the ingredients were so fresh. If you wanna go old school, definitely check out Flake for breakfast. read more

I stopped into Flake for a bite since I was early for my doggie daycare appointment. I ordered a bacon burrito, eyed what appeared to be fresh OJ, but decided to get my faithful Guayaki tea. The place was packed, but I was lucky enough to get a seat at a table just at the edge of the back of the house. It was a great spot for an observant Virgo like me. Here's what I observed: - The 'fresh' OJ is poured from a large gallon jug of Perricone Farms into small individual plastic cups, which makes the customers think it's freshly squeezed. - The scrambled eggs are precooked and stored in large clear bins on the counter. - There are multiple microwaves, that are in constant use. - The rows of hot sauces are oddly discolored, which tips off to improper storing. - The decor is retro with the old fashioned cereal posters. - It's a celebrity hotspot. Now onto my burrito. It was freaking delicious. It was served with a tomatillo salsa that I recognized, but the burrito didn't need it. The reason the burrito didn't need the salsa was due to the fact that it had processed cheese slices in it. It took me back to the days when I just moved into my apartment and I threw random stuff into tortillas (or sometimes hardly anything at all), but THAT Kraft sliced cheese was always there. The bacon was throughout the burrito, the cheese was almost constant. When it wasn't, the salsa was there for me. Service was pretty nice considering how busy the place is, and how snobby some of the patrons are. If you're a health nut, stick to your fancy bowls. Otherwise, face the microwave and processed cheese. read more

Flake - Bacon Burrito. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Flake serves up really tasty and affordable breakfasts in Venice with casual surfer town vibe. Specializing in acai bowl and breakfast sandwiches, the menu is diverse but not large, the order line extremely long. Thank you Yelp for pointing me to the Super Cro Jo - it was a perfect way to start a day of beach going but wasn't so large as to make me feel bloated in the bikini. The croissant was flaky and warm, the eggs soft, and the bacon, well, its bacon. The secret sauce is amazing, and there's no need for any additional condiments. My friend Mel got the Fatty, filled with turkey and avocado and secret sauce on a toasted croissant. I mean, i'm drooling remembering a sandwich I ate three weeks ago. It was THAT tasty. The iced latte was good, and for a dollar you can get a coffee refill, which is super! Seating maxes out around 30 people, half inside and half out. You order first, grab your beverages, then take your number and go sit (if you're lucky and there are empty tables). They'll bring your meal to you, you inhale, and then you go. Don't bring a crowd. Don't stay longer than 40 minutes unless you have kids. The outside tables are pet friendly and full of sunshine. read more

I'm a bit surprised to see how highly rated this place is. We ordered three items which I'll go into separately: Breakfast Burrito: This burrito tasted oddly similar to the sausage burritos at McDonalds. It may be the cheese/cheese sauce? In any case, I'm always lightly disheartened when a breakfast burrito is absent of any form of potato, this burrito was mostly egg with a bit of cheese and bacon. It felt pretty lacking and without substance. Acai Bowl: This was...kind of an anemic looking acai bowl. First off, the acai was still frozen solid which made it hard to break apart and eat. Secondly, it was just acai, bananas, and granola. Usually, an acai bowl is supposed to be more colorful and provide a variety of fruit. But this just seemed lazy- I could hardly call it an acai bowl. The Fatty: I think this is what it was called, but it was a turkey croissant sandwich that actually was not bad at all. It had avocado and their secret sauce, which had a bit of heat and a kick to it. Was quite alright! The standout item in these three was the croissant sandwich, but even that I think was just okay. The burrito and the bowl were lackluster at best; I think those are two pretty commonly ordered items here so just be warned. read more

For a small local place off of the Main Street, this place does not disappoint. We had a quick bite in the veggie sausage croissant and açaí bowls and both were stellar. Very keen ingredients and perfectly layered eggs made the sandwich delicious and easy to eat. The açaí bowls were very nutty and fruity and gave the energy burst needed. Loved it all, you must go! read more

Filling breakfast options. I went with the Veggie Rad and it was pretty good. Kept me completely full until a little after lunch time. Service was amazing and friendly. I parked across the street, ordered, and took my food to go. Read the signs on the street! Not worth the trip, but, if you're in the area and in need of some breakfast, definitely make your way to Flake! read more

I love this little spot. It's a corner cafe with the usual long lines and breakfast/lunch foods but unusually delicious food and a good strong coffee. Seating is sparse, few small tables inside and even fewer outside. It's a tight space. I got the Matty Chai latte and it's got a kick - strong and spicy just how I like it. The acai bowl is plentiful with lots of fresh berries and bananas, and a good size portion. The acai actually tastes like acai and not blended with a ton of ice like other places. The cro-jo (scro-jo?) is even more delicious, the croissant was fluffy and flakey and really hit the spot. Prices are decent and the staff are super friendly. This place goes into my books for fav brunch spots. read more

Thank you to Flake for my first acai bowl experience. I fell in love with acai bowls after trying Flake's Sambazon Acai Bowl. I kept it simple and didn't add extra fruit besides the banana that comes with the bowl. The sorbet textured acai topped with the crunchy granola and the nutty hempy seeds was the perfect combination. It is refreshing like ice cream, but healthy for you - win, win! Everytime I eat an acai bowl, I compare it to Flake and I have realized that there is no competition! Flake sits on the outskirts of Venice, but it is completely worth the visit!!! read more

Cute and simply delicious! Ideal for a simple breakfast on lazy weekend. We got the nutty munkee (English muffins with banana and peanut butter) and the yogurt bowl (low-fat yogurt with hemp granola and fruits), they were both very tasty.

Perfect location too since it's only 10min from Venice Beach. What else can you ask for? read more

Pretty solid little cafe. Love the location, Rose Ave is the cutest street to walk around and look at all the bougie shops. I tried the super cro-jo since that's what Flake is known for. Not as amazing as I was expecting, but I enjoyed it with the smokey hot sauce. Pretty good price ($7.50) especially for the area, although it wasn't super filling. Luckily Jeni's is right across the street so you can get your sugar fix if you're still hungry! The food didn't blow me away, but I enjoyed my experience sitting with friends outside on a beautiful sunny summer day. read more

Came here on a Thursday morning for brunch! It wasn't too busy and you can tell that a lot of regulars and their families drop by. Seating is limited tho, and it gets pretty hot inside with no AC. Everything we ordered was actually very reasonably priced (esp for the Venice area) and delicious!! I was super hungry when I came in and ordered the turkey sausage burrito. Thought it was a lil small at first...but boy, it was stuffed inside!! I didn't even finish the second half. Lots of eggs & plenty of sausage in there. The green sauce/salsa came on the side and was really great with the burrito. My friend ordered the super cro jo and she loved it! Had a bite for myself and thought the secret sauce made the simple croissant sandwich taste even better. Overall, this was a great lil find! Good place to stop by for a quick breakfast or coffee before hitting the beach or walking around in Venice. read more

Simplest, biggest, most delicious breakfast burritos around. Reasonable prices. Good customer service.

Their Tuna Salad Sandwich is a gift from God. Seriously exceptional I have never had a Tuna Salad that good in my entire life.

Flake lured in my girlfriend and me on a humid morning as we headed to the beach. She got the regular acaí bowl, plus fruit, while I opted for the bacon breakfast burrito. We sat at a table inside (the chairs squeal loudly on the floor) and poured some courtesy cups of water. The food was good! We ended up sharing both items. I liked getting combinations of the different ingredients in the bowl. The eggs in the burrito were light and fluffy, the bacon smoky and crispy. Ah, but then there's the American cheese; next time, I'll sub in cheddar instead. read more

Apart of the power duo of food in Venice / Santa Monica in my eyes. Super Crojo is a strong recommendation, but legitimately anything on the is good. Coffee is also mad decent and the staff is positive vibes. read more

Simple, quick, and delicious, Flake serves up solid sandwiches, bowls, bagels, and burritos. Note that seating is limited with no more than 7-8 tables for two inside and outside. Prices are relatively reasonable for the area, but parking can be difficult at times (street only). Food: The Sambazon Acai Bowl is super popular and for good reason with a healthy portion of fruit and granola on top of frozen sorbet. I've also tried the Neptuna Melt (you can add extras like avocado and bacon) and Poseidon's Wrap (albacore tuna salad) which are consistent. The coffee and teas are pretty standard. If you're looking for breakfast or lunch, definitely check out Flake! read more

Came this morning, 9 am was crowed but people were coming in and out. You grab a menu order and then find a seat. Outside there's seats and inside there's seats but more right inside. Ordered the crojo smojo? SOMETHING JO ( buttery croissant breakfast sandwich with egg bacon lettuce tomatoes and special sauce) SOOOO GOOOD!! Friend ordered a breakfast bacon burrito!! YES DELICIOUS FAT AND FILLING. We also tried the raspberry cream cronuts ( lightly dusted with cinnamon) yum! All around really cute breakfast spot. Nothing fancy and free here other than good smiles, vibes and great food. PARKING IS STREET ONLY AND TOOK US LONGER TO FIND PARKING THEN TO EAT. Be warned!! Venice sucks with parking regardless so no surprise there and watch the signs when you park, METER MAID CARS ARE ROAMING THE EARTH LOOKING FOR THOSE IT CAN DEVOUR( kinda like Satan ‍, be careful of him too) read more
