Dropped the daughter at school and was feeling the need for a breakfast burrito. Read the reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. Had the bacon burrito. I will say it did not disappoint. Most breakfast burritos are not layered very well and the end result is a hit or miss bite experience. This burrito was great. Layered perfectly. Whoever put this together deserves 5 stars! read more

The burro de jouro was great, especially if your hungry. Veggie sausage was a great option I thought. Staff was very friendly and patient. Nice tables set up outside. Worth every penny! read more

Flake - Breakfast/lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Good lattes heavy fan of their Cuban sandwich without pickles. It's a really great spot to walk to. I really want to try their breakfast burrito. read more

Although this store currently isn't open inside, Flake has a few spots right outside with tables to sit at. Since these spots are limited, we took our food out to the beach - only a 5-10 minute walk! Everything here was take out so the Ninja Bowl I got was packed to the brim. It was a bit hard to eat out of, but it was still very good!! Also be sure to have some cash on hand just in case, because during my visit their credit card transactions weren't working. read more

Flake - Ninja Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

perfect spot to pickup lunch to take to the beach for a picnic! you can quickly pull up and park, and pick up at the window. i ordered online and was able to just grab and go. i ordered the cubano sandwich. it was huge, i only ate half and took the rest home. would definitely come back to try the croissant sandwich. read more

This place is absolutely great if you want a quick breakfast to just sit and enjoy outside. You go up to the stand to order and pick up from a window. There are enough places to sit outside or you can take it on the go. The tables are pretty clean as well. It's also in a quieter more residential street so you can enjoy your breakfast outside without much noise. The food was simple breakfast food, but it was still very flavorful. I ordered the turkey sausage breakfast burrito and I couldn't get enough of it. My friend ordered an iced chai latte and she said it was the best chai she's ever had. I loved eating here and I can't wait to come back. Such a great breakfast! read more

Flake is a trendy little spot in Venice that is a perfect place to grab a snack to help you recover from a hangover. It has yummy breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and great cold brew. We recently went during the pandemic and the line and wait weren't too bad. It flew by super quick and we were able to enjoy our sandwiches in the nice LA weather. We ordered: -Breakwater Bagel comes with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and a choice of ham or bacon on a toasted bagel served with a side of their secret sauce. I got mine with bacon and it was perfection on a bagel. Honestly, I probably could have eaten 2 or even 3 of these bagel sandwiches. That's how good it was! -The Croissan-wich Jones comes with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and Cheddar Cheese on a toasted croissant. My husband LOVES croissant sandwiches and this was his favorite thing that we ate on our trip. It was perfectly flaky, had crispy bacon, and the egg didn't make anything soggy. So good!!! Whenever we are in the area, we will definitely be back. Hungover or not. read more

"All we are is dust in the wind, dude." - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Location: Venice, California. I came here while visiting my brother from another Brazilian mother. Yup, even though I have Hawaiian roots and Paulo has Brazilian roots we both connected as friends and later brothers. So Paulo was in Venice, CA recently before flying back to his native São Paulo, Brazil. Of course, I had to see him off before he left The Republic of California. I also convinced Paulo that I'm the King of this great Republic... hey why not! Arnold did it, dude! So I drive 383.6 miles from San Francisco to Venice, CA to say "Aloha Brah"... As a goodbye gift I decide to get us Açaí bowls. We both love it, almost as much as women in Brazilian bikinis, but hey that's for another website. Back to Açaí bowls... it's something we talked about... legit Açaí bowls vs. touristy Açaí bowls. The difference in the berries, purée, fresh, texture, etc. I mean c'mon now. The Açaí bowl originated from Brazil and Paulo is Brazilian who loves the fruity bowls... let's go, brah! I choose Flake on Rose Ave. in Venice because (1) it was near where he was staying; (2) the high rated reviews; (3) they have Açaí bowls! So Flake it is! It was hot and humid in Venice on the day we met and it had nothing to do with Daisy Fuentes in Brazilian string bikini (tho she's really Cuban). We meet outside and the line was out the door! No worries we are told... it moves fast! And indeed it moved, yet no worries as we weren't in a rush, especially with Marley playing above us! One love, dude. We peruse the eclectic menu, but stick with our original plans. Since I'm treating, Paulo decides to get the Ninja Bowl which so happens to be the most expensive at $13 lol, but pretty much includes everything that goes into an Açaí bowl. Damn these Brazilians are smart lol! I choose the basic Açaí bowl for $8. The basic includes sliced bananas, granola, honey, and Açaí. That's $21 in fruit, brah. The place is packed with the younger to earthy crowd, hipsters to hippies to surfers all eating in harmony. We luckily find seats outside next to some attractive French women. Not by design, but I'm not complaining. Paulo and I talk about everything from cover bands to ick politics, and after a few minutes our Açaí bowls are delivered to our table. We immediately dig in and I can't help notice it tasted so familiar. Hmm then I realized I'm eating Sambazon Açaí Sorbet, not exactly bad, but it's sold everywhere and I've used it at home to make my own Açaí bowls. So kind of a letdown, dude. In the end, I still recommend Flake, but if you're a Açaí connoisseur, like I am, you won't get blown away by their Açaí bowls. Trust! My review is strictly based on the Açaí sold here. It's a cute little café in hip Venice so definitely ride your skateboard down here and give Flake a try... get a Burrito or Salad tho and your taste buds will thank me later. Peace. read more

Flake - Açaí Bowl ($8) & Ninja Bowl ($13) w/ the works... Açaí Bowl was average & the Ninja was overpriced IMHO - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Came by here during a trip over to Venice and the food was delicious! Ordered their breakfast burrito and sandwich and their Spanish latte and would highly recommend. The only con is that there isn't a bathroom! But plenty of tables in front and street parking only around the area. read more

Brekkie sandwiches here are delicious. You truly cannot go wrong with any of the options. Fair warning: if you are someone who requires a good amount of food to be full, you should order two of the breakfast sandwiches. They aren't huge. As of April 2023, there is a few tables with seats outside, otherwise no other seating options. Given that Flake is a few blocks from the beach, the move is to take your food to the beach to munch. read more

I came here last weekend with a friend to grab a quick brunch. I found this place through all the great yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. The place was easy to find and parking wasn't too bad in the surrounding neighborhood. We came on Saturday around 11 and the place was busy but there wasn't a long wait. I opted to get the turkey sausage breakfast burrito and my friend got the veggie rad with an almond milk latte. The food came out quickly, despite the line being consistently out the door. My breakfast burrito was good - packed with eggs and sausage and had a tasty tomatillo salsa on the side. I wish it had crispy hash browns or tots inside for a textural contrast but it was overall a good burrito. My friend enjoyed her breakfast sandwich and latte. I would come back here if I was craving a breakfast burrito or to try one of their many other options. Given the area, I don't think you will find anywhere else with quality food for this cheap. read more

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

Best breakfast burrito, hands down in the area. Tricky parking for pickup, tight sidewalk seating for eating 'in' but highly recommended.

Ordered the turkey sausage and egg breakfast burrito. An okay burrito at a reasonable price. It was a good amount of burrito, but it was severely lacking on the 'turkey sausage' contents. Eggs: The best part of the burrito. It was a consistent smooth velvety texture. Smothered with presumably American cheese and a white cheese blend. The burrito would have been more enjoyable with a sharper cheese -- like American for instance. Now what little turkey sausage I got was definitely enjoyable. However, the burrito was so disproportionately more egg and cheese, that you can hardly call it a 'turkey sausage and egg' burrito. The burrito was also super basic and dry. Would have been a bit more palatable to cut maybe a bit of red pepper and onion into the mixture. One small cup of green salsa was not enough to cover the bulk of the burrito. Definitely need to request 2-3 salsa cups. read more

Flake is reliable and cheap for the area, I have been going since 2015ish. They used to have a bbq chicken sandwich or something called the cowboy?? They don't have it anymore and its sad it was soooo good Would love a hot sauce offering for to go orders! read more

Always love coming to Flake and getting a breakwater but TODAY they had the greatest coffee cake I've had in a very very long time. Thank you Flake for always making my day read more

Flake - Coffee cake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Flake is a local Venice favorite with a consistent line in the mornings, especially on weekends. But don't worry, it moves pretty quickly! Just a few outdoor tables to sit, most people usually grab their orders to go elsewhere with. I have now tried quite a bit of the menu and I have to say my favorite is the Poseidons Wrap - a delicious tuna wrap that uses the secret sauce. The classic cronut breakfast sandwich is a little overhyped but still very good and I also enjoyed the vegan breakfast burrito. One of my favorite things about Flake is the fresh squeezed orange juice and lemonade! Coffee available as well. Overall not too overpriced (for the area that is) and a great option for a quick grab and go breakfast or lunch. read more

This neighborhood spot was the perfect place to begin a Saturday at the beach. Parking was a non issue, the dog was included because they have outdoor tables. Order at the corner window and pick out a place to sit. The turnover is quick, we didn't have to wait for our table. (Be prepared! Not every table has shade) I ordered The Fatty - Turkey, Swiss, avo on a plain bagel. It was perfect- softly toasted, not sloppy and delicious! read more

The young man working the register was so nice. I really appreciated that and my daughter who went up to the register by herself, appreciated it too. Thank you for that! The food was wonderful. I ordered the turkey sausage breakfast burrito and a donut. The salsa they provided tasted great as well. All in all everything was wonderful. read more

Flake - Mural outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

Stopped by for breakfast and coffee on a Monday morning. I got the croissant sandwich and loved it! My friend had the vegetarian breakfast burrito which he also enjoyed. The food was filling. I'll definitely be back for breakfast here when I visit Venice again. If it's your first time going to Flake- you order at the front outside, pick up your food outside and there's tables and two benches where you can sit outside to eat. People didn't seem to hang around sitting there too much so I'm sure you'll be able to find a seat. I do wish they had Turkey bacon (but then again I'm not sure how popular that is in California). read more

I was not impressed with my experience at Flake despite it being a pretty popular place, and it may have just been what I ordered. I ordered the Turkey Sausage Burrito which was a decent size and the turkey sausage inside was good, the only problem was that there was barely any sausage in the burrito at all. The burrito was about 90% eggs which wasn't my favorite and the center of the burrito was mostly hollow. I've had better breakfast burritos that have other meat combinations, or include hash browns, potatoes, or even avocados in the burrito - this had none of that. The green salsa they included with it was basically water with a little bit of salsa in it. To top it off there is limited outdoor seating so most people left and we ate at one of their tables with no chairs. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning around 11am. You order at the counter, find seating and then they being your food out to you. There was only one other person in line when we got there, but it got busier around 12-1230 and the line was out the door. Limited seating - there were 6-7 tables inside that seat 2 each and some outdoor seating but people seemed to their food and then leave as opposed to taking their time. We ordered the clubhouse croissant with chips the manwich with salad (~$25 total). Both dishes had excellent flavor and the spreads that they put on the sandwiches tastes amazing. Salad had a vinaigrette that complemented the sandwiches well. Street parking only but it was pretty easy to find in the neighborhood next to the cafe. read more

Flake - Clubhouse croissant with chips - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, California

They've updated to take out only due to COVID and they have a decent set-up for themselves. Separate order and pick up window seems to operate well for them. My only complaint was that there was almost no shade available, which meant, while waiting for food, I was standing in the hot sun, or crouching next to the pick-up window in the tiny patch of shade. I hated being next to the pickup window because I felt like I was encroaching on the space of the others as they were trying to pick up their meals. Of course, when I stepped away a moment, it was stolen by another patron looking for the same shade. It was a little difficult to avoid others while waiting for my order. Food was tasty and what I expected. read more

Had Flake for breakfast this morning and it was pretty yummy! My bf ordered the turkey sausage breakfast burrito and he claimed it was the best he's ever had lol. It's pretty simple: turkey sausage, egg, and cheese. I had the bacon and egg breakfast burrito. Both were so simple but actually so delicious. We will be back! read more

The best ever in the sunlight by the painting.. I had the blat- bacon lettace , tomatoe Avocado sandwich with a side salad! Omg that was so perfect The day before I had the crossiant w/ eggs and ,, wow ya gotta go there and try something- groovy beach vibes read more

Pretty good but not necessarily something you wouldn't be able to make at home. PARKING: street, metered parking SERVICE: efficient and friendly AMBIANCE: kind of beachy, lots of kids and people from the LA area wandering around. A little bit of a hipster vibe! FOOD: I got the acai bowl and my boyfriend got a sandwich. Pricing wise, it was pretty steep given the acai bowl was $8-9 but only came with a banana and some granola. I'm used to more generous acai bowls being from Orange County, but the flavors were good and really hit the spot. My boyfriend got a sandwich with chicken and pickled onions and avocado which was pretty tasty! Overall the food was decent but I'm not sure why this place is as popular as it is. A lot of the food, like an English muffin with peanut butter and nutella, is something you can easily make for yourself at home. My guess is that it's convenience and comfort! read more

Honestly disappointed in the burrito I received. I got the bacon burrito and I could've saved myself the 10$ and made it myself. The burrito was tiny and just eggs, bacon and mediocre cheese. If you want a real burrito go somewhere else or make it yourself. read more

This is a Venice gem. I need to go there more often - I'm just not a big breakfast person. On the weekend I'm thrilled to go grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich. Since COVID a grab and go - but good food at reasonable price. read more

The customer service was great sorry for the low review. When I pay over $30 for two breakfast sandwiches I expect amazing. Not so much the eggs seemed to be cooked in a microwave. The croissant didn't seem fresh. And by the line of people I expected more. Again the customer service was great read more

Looking to try something other than our standard hotel breakfast, my dad and I decided to take a chance on this highly recommended Venice breakfast spot...wow, just wow! Here's the lowdown on Flake... Parking: Located right off Rose Ave there's definitely NOT a whole lot of parking available for patrons of Flake. There's some sporadic street parking available. Best bet may be to ride-share, as we did. Ambiance: Classic, American breakfast spot is what you're getting here all the way. There are no servers, just walk up and order what want you and food is brought out it brought out to you within five minutes or so. Food. The food here is good. No like, really good. Too often, people half-ass the quality and presentation of breakfast, NOT so here at Flake. Just look at the presentation of the fruit salad and quiche (see pics). Everything ordered was excellent. All breakfast sandwiches are NOT created equal and the one they serve up here is amazing. The croissant is super soft and flaky. The bacon is of decent quality and was fried well. And it all held together throughout the course of eating it. I highly recommend Flake if looking for a quality, no-fuss breakfast option in Venice. read more

I've been coming here for years. It's a staple in the neighborhood, simple delicious food in a beach's relaxed atmosphere. Personal favorite is the turkey sausage burrito. And the staff could not be kinder. read more

This was such a cute breakfast spot with nice outdoor seating. I ordered the Ninja Acai Bowl, which was very fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Most acai bowl places I have tried skimp out on the toppings, but not this place. I loved that there was a generous amount of fruits and toppings. The frozen acai sorbet was sweet and full of flavor. read more

Loved this cute little hole in the wall place near Venice beach! The veggie burrito is SO good - scrambled eggs, veggies and vegetarian sausage wrapped up in a warm burrito. I absolutely loved the green chutney that comes with it though I wish they served more of it. Portions are generous. Seating is outdoors and limited. read more

A Super Cro-Jo breakfast sandwhich at Flake.

We ordered the Super Cro-jo, ninja bowl and a turkey sausage breakfast burrito. The super cro-jo was so good. The croissant was super flaky, crispy bacon and that secret sauce... yum. The ninja bowl was a good portion. My husband said the turkey sausage breakfast burrito was mediocre. We came on a Sunday morning and they were super busy. It was our first time at Flake. They were also fulfilling phone and online orders. It took more than 20 minutes for our food, just standing waiting in the sun. Next time, we'll order online. read more

We stopped by Flake on a Saturday around 12:30pm - peak breakfast hours. The line was long but moved quickly. The food is definitely worth the wait! We got a breakfast burrito to split. The burrito was hearty and filled with eggs; it was exactly what I was hoping for. The tomatillo salsa gave it an extra fresh taste. Loved it! We also got an açaí bowl and added fresh berries to it (+$3). They gave us a generous amount of toppings - we actually had more toppings than açaí! I am a big fan of these bowls and was so happy to find a good one close to our place. The burrito + the acai bowl = $21. If I lived in LA I would be a regular, but since I was only visiting it's safe to say I'll come back whenever I'm in the area. Definitely stop by! read more

Good staff. Good prices . The food is realy crap. There are a lot of different things on the menu, but I couldn't find anything edible.
