Flake certainly captures the old spirit of Venice its decor, feel, menu, and prices. Under the burnt orange awnings that have seen quite a few sun-lit days since 2008, you'll find delicious breakfast sandwiches and burritos as well as acai bowls waiting for you at the end of a line that will move fairly quickly. The Cro-Jo is delicious - the croissant is nice and warm, its flavorful and the crispy bits of bacon are really well done. The ninja bowl (acai fruit) was a bit lackluster in that it was way more frozen than I had anticipated. Place does get far busier than the number of seating options would allow, but the beach isn't too far of a walk away! read more

THIS PLACE IS A GEM! I ordered The Fatty on a croissant $7.25. It comes with turkey, swiss, avocado and secret sauce. It was definitely a fatty! So mouthwatering! Lots of meat and avocado. And the Sambazon Acai Bowl $7.75 is a must! The frozen sorbet is thick and sweet. I was almost done with my sandwich and the sorbet hasn't melted yet! Perfecttttt! Staff was awesome! Super friendly and quick! Park in the neighborhoods or on the streets. And the beach is a couple blocks down the street, probably a 15 minute walk. read more

Simple but good food. Got the cro-jo with turkey sausage that hit the spot and also had the fatty and that was nice and toasty. Though small on the inside, there's some tables outside in the shade along the sidewalk that were nice and cool. read more

Consistently delicious. Wish they had more seating available, but is a great little spot. Definitely recommend adding avocado to anything you order :) read more

The breakfast burritos were pretty great! Could cut them and half and share with someone, honestly! :)

Open up your inside already, having all your customers crammed on the sidewalk is not a good look.

Breakfast burritos here are pretty good. They are a little wet which is the authentic way of having a burrito. Staff is friendly. The line can be long if you come at peak hours but they serve you quickly. read more

Flake has great prices and definitely is what it is. It's a breakfast burrito place near abott kinney that is simple and easy to grab and go. I didn't love it because usually vegetarian breakfast burritos are filled with salsa, beans, sour cream, guac, veggies and more but this one was pretty bland only having cheddar cheese, potato, and egg. I wish it was a little more flavorful but the convenience of picking this up was worth it. The customer service was also amazing!! read more

Great food, good people and service. I had the Acai bowl with berries. Best bfast ive had in a long time. One of my kids ordered the Fatty with the secret sauce which proved to be a bit spicy for her. But the other parts were so good she ate around the sauce and immediately ordered another one sans sauce. My other kid ordered the English muffin bfast sandwich which she devoured. She said it reminded her of home. One tip: if you can't find seating inside or outside by the street there's a surfboard around the corner set up bar style that seats 4. It was a quieter spot which doesn't catch the busy street noise from Rose. read more

Stopped by this place for a quick breakfast before my adventure to Santa Monica. It was a small place on the corner of a busy street but you couldn't miss their sign. Walked in was greeted immediately by smiling faces and employees eager to help me. I got the Turkey breakfast burrito and an OJ. They also a table with sauces to dip or drip of your choice. The burrito I had was fresh and amazing. OJ was fresh as well. Everything was also fairly priced. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm around Santa Monica. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for awhile now! The crojo - croissant breakfast sandwiches are to die for here. You may have to wait in a line for a little while, but that's understandable when everyone else in the world knows a good breakfast sandwich and wants one for themselves on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Everyone has their adorable pups with them outside to keep you company while you wait. Oh, and the price is pretty decent, especially for LA. If you're hungry around 2:30 pm and don't mind having breakfast in the afternoon, you should try one of their sandwiches. (Tip: lines usually die down close to closing) Happy breakfast! read more

Delicious veggie sausage. I got the veggie Freddie or whatever it's called on croissant instead of the wheat toast. Delicious! Full flavor and that secret sauce is bomb. Has a little kick to it. Price is great too. read more

What can I say except yum! This place is super cute, real old school California surfer vibes. My fiancé and I rode our motorcycles on a Saturday to enjoy some simple breakfast. He got the Croissanwich-Jones and I got their bacon breakfast burrito. Both were super tasty. The tomatillo salsa was flavorful but very very mild (as someone who likes habanero, this was not spicy at all). The croissant sandwich was flaky and delicious. As locals to the area, we'll definitely be back. read more

So pleased with this place. Their take out process is super easy. I called and placed my order, was met with energetic and warm customer service. The prices are great, and so is the coffee. The secret sauce? Well I'm dying to know what it is because it's SO good. I wish I found this place while I was living on the west side, because this would have been my regular breakfast spot. Highly recommend. read more

Best breakfast sandwich ever. I love the veggie rad. The veggie sausage is the best I've ever had. Everything I've had is good, except the bagel. The bagel is a letdown!!! Don't get it. There's often a line and you have to wait a bit to get a table. Seems to be busiest around 11. read more

LOVE! Found this place while driving down to the beach and the food was great. They were friendly and the food was made fast! They hand out Lotería cards for dine in orders which I thought was really cute. The place is real small with only maybe 5 small tables inside but they have more seating outside. I didn't mind it much but if you want plenty of room and a quiet breakfast spot than I wouldn't recommend dinning in. Will definitely come back next time I have an early beach day! read more

Great place to stop for breakfast. I got the açaí bowl with seasonal berries. So refreshing and delicious.

I would rate 4.5 but because that's not an option, I give it 4. Honestly, one of my favorite places for breakfast in the Westside. I love their breakfast sandwiches. They're soooooo good and that secret sauce is on point. The sandwiches are so simple but they're executed well. They're tasty and filling. The only thing is I wish they had some more options with their breakfast like tater tots. But this place is a definite must try for breakfast! read more

We checked this place out for breakfast because of the reviews it's gotten on yelp. The staff were very friendly and the food was priced well and yummy! The croissant sandwiches are very flakey :). Did not disappoint. Check them out! read more

Used to have a counter as well as outside seating, but COVID changes things. All seating is outdoors, all orders are packages to-go, but the menu's still great. I'm having the Cuban Sando right now, and it's lovely. And the side salad of greens is dressed just right. And only about 10 mins from order to table. read more

They're good people & made sure we were taken of. Thanks especially to Paige We had burro juros & came back for seconds. read more

You can't find a better breakfast place in the area! Lively yet peaceful atmosphere, kind people, delicious and balanced meals, and low prices. This place should definitely be on your weekend to-do list! read more

Great if you grab to go. Really rough if you want to sit and eat. People sit and sit and sit. No tap to pay. Just cash or card. read more

Great place to grab coffee and breakfast in the early morning WE LOVE it here. Amazing staff and owner If your in Venice stop buy and check it out read more

Absolutely loved the breakfast burrito here. Great service, love the beach vibe of the restaurant right in the corner. All of the other items on the menu looked ridiculously good as well. Definitely coming back! read more

If you're looking for amazing, affordable, and delicious food, this is your place! The ingredients are simple, but fresh and delicious. Surprisingly that's not very easy to find in LA. Every single time everything is top-notch period keep up the great work! read more

Awesome place for great healthy & tasty breakfast/brunch! The staff were very friendly and not pressuring me to order quickly (I always take a long time to decide on what to eat) but honestly all their menu looks really good (yup I always like to check what other people ordered!). We will surely come over again to eat! read more

Food is good,great service. Wish they would wash the sidewalk where you wait for your food. Pressure washing is not that hard,or washing with hot water and bleach the pew from homeless since we are in a pandemic the homeless made it out alive so I guess we are safe but still it's gross to wait in a dirty place that looks like you are in TJ tough areas:/ 4 stars for great staff and food! read more

Solid cafe. The food was simple but tasty. Probably the most reasonably priced food in the area. It is very popular spot so seating/parking is limited. Would definitely come back read more

Flake - The quiche was very rich and a perfect portion. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Really good basic breakfast. Very venice. Breakfast on the go. It's not a brunch place by any means. Food is not salty nor oily. I do not like salty oily food. Bit of line on weekends. read more

This Rose ave now staple started with the gimmicky premise of overpriced bowls of cereal and I've never understood the long lines. Food is OK... definitely not worth the wait or the calories. read more

Great breakfast sandwich but eating area takes away the stars. Do better. Few spaces not well cleaned. Pandemic need excellence! Good coffee. But everything in to go sacks and paper cups. read more

Reasonable prices and good food. Seriously. I was shocked to see breakfast items were under $10. Not all but most, which rarely happens these days or any where in Venice, CA. I got the croissant with turkey, bacon, avocado and their sauce. Very tasty but I could have eaten 2 of them. My GF got the sausage egg burrito with cheese. I ate most of it. While good and filling, it wasn't as good as mine. My other friends enjoyed a quiche and an acai bowl. All looked plentiful. To top my meal off I enjoyed a decaf americano. Decaf is my jam, largely bc I have a low caffeine intolerance. It actually had a slight nutty flavor to it and rivaled much more expensive coffee shops. Will I go back? Absolutely. Just note seating outside is half on the sun during the early afternoon (when we were there). There are about 8 2 tops outside and 8-10 seats inside. It can fill up fast. But as we learned it can empty our quick (at 1pm no one was seated outside suddenly). read more

Wonderful neighborhood joint where the people remember your name. The food delicious enough to attract people from everywhere and the prices and friendly staff keep the locals coming back for more. Flake is one of the last local spots around in an area of the city quickly catering to tourists. Happy to call it my neighborhood favorite. The food is simple but with a special little touch to each dish that make it unique. Try the rad muffin and a flat white or the amazing acacia berry bowls. read more

A few friends and I stopped by after finishing a morning hike nearby. I picked up a veggie breakfast burrito which was jam-packed with scrambled eggs, veggie sausage, American cheese and a side of homemade tomatillo sauce. I thought it was pretty good, and not too heavy like your usual breakfast burrito. We agreed that the food wasn't near phenomenal as the Yelp reviews suggest. Maybe we came with high expectations? If you do visit, expect busy streets and long lines! All of the workers are very friendly. Would I return? Maybe if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to sample more food from here. read more

Flake - Veggie Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

This place is a must visit if you are looking for a cool, down to earth place with amazing food and coffee. It is on the corner and has a few spots to sit inside and some out door seating. If the weather is nice I highly recommend to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. You go in and order and they will come out and bring you your food and drinks. I asked for a recommendation on the coffee and they made me a handcrafted triple vanilla latte. Ask for the hot sauces. You won't be disappointed! read more

The manager of the restaurant reached out to me, and I am so impressed that he cares so much about the customers. I'm now hoping to give this neighborhood eatery another shot in the next couple weeks, and perhaps make it a place I frequent or take out of towners too since it's closeby, quick, and next to the beach. After I do so, I will update my review. In response to my old review, I can just say this is the type of business where the manager cares equally for its workers as much as it does its customers. I highly respect this. read more
