Food was AMAZING and staff was so nice and kind. White Lavender Latte was to die for. Good food, good coffee, GREAT establishment!

April 1. 2026 | Marina del Rey | While out and about with my best friend, I wanted to try someplace new! I decided on Fratelli Cafe! Signature Croissant French Toast | Yes! I love the combo of French Toast with Croissant, topped with berries, crispy edges, and full of flavor! I enjoyed every moment and would easily order again! Tea Time | I enjoyed the organic Jasmine Spring Jasmine Tea, it was delicious and perfect on a sunny, yet windy and a bit chilly day! Customer Service | Friendly and helpful with the menu! Also, the menu was huge! Seating | We sat out on the outdoor patio, as I love fresh air! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Outdoor seating are attached picnic benches, and tables! The café was quite busy! Parking | Free & plentiful! Individual parking spaces are shared with other restaurants, a convenience store, UPS Store, a Bank, and even a Pet Spa and so much more! Overall | Yes, I would easily return, as well as looking forward to exploring the menu! read more

I was in the area and, based on the reviews, wanted to give this place a try. I love a good breakfast spot and was hoping to find a really great one. The restaurant itself felt clean and comfortable, but the food didn't quite wow me. It was good, but I've had better eggs Benedict and better shakshuka. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast dishes, but the hollandaise sauce lacked the acidity needed to balance out the richness of the dish. I had a similar reaction to the shakshuka: it was good, but not great. That said, the breakfast potatoes were really good. Honestly, I could have made a breakfast out of those alone! read more

I first tried Fratelli Cafe via DoorDash while I was visiting the area and I now make it a point to order something when we I visit. First off, how fun is the name The Fratelli's. I love the movie the Goonies, so the name is a plus for me. I normally get a vanilla latte and one of their breakfast burritos. The burritos are super phat and tasty and their lattes are consistently good. The service in store is friendly and quick. I still haven't eaten in the store but I have always had a good experience with the staff taking orders at the register. Parking can be a hassle on a Sunday in the summer around 10am, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, it's worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

This place is very close to us and I had been wanting to try their breakfast. The food was average. We ordered the chilaquiles (with both sauces but they forgot green) with chicken on the side. The chicken oddly came as the first item even before our coffees so the chicken was getting cold in the table awaiting the rest of the food. We also tried the choco french toast, which I had high expectations for but honestly, something I could make at home. We found it somewhat overpriced, including the tipping when its a self serve cafe, and not much food for the value. The only absolute good thing was the pistachio latte. Because my lavender matcha didn't even have lavender, and felt like milk with a splash of matcha, I couldn't even finish it. Service was good and kind, but we will not be returning again read more

I always feel rushed and in the way while trying to decide what I want to order. You line up, order, and pay at the counter. There is barely room between where to line up and the tables. I've been there twice and had hoped to make it a new local spot to treat myself. The food I ordered was mediocre *except* the potatoes, those are great. There is some free parking which is easier to get on the weekdays and a few metered spots close. It's not somewhere that I'll be frequenting. read more

Breakfast was great! An easy, five stars. The main employee which I assume is the owner was great and had a good attitude. We were wearing USA soccer jerseys and he was very excited. We were going to the game. We would recommend everything that we had. The signature croissant French toast was absolutely amazing as well as the bacon hash. The breakfast tacos were also great. You get plenty of food. It was all delicious. Atmosphere was chill. read more

The location and the vibes made the place perfect spot to come for weekend brunch. Could easily imagine beach stop right before or after brunch, or simple stroll at either the marina or Abbot Kinney. No wonder why it's extremely busy during weekend brunch to lunch time. Plenty of seats both indoor and outdoor, some of which could accommodate bigger crowds. The menu was long with bunch of selections available so you might take some time to prolly make up your mind. We went for one savory and one sweet dish. Starting with the Biscuits Benny, serving scrambled eggs with biscuits/scones, cubed potato wedges, fried chicken and obviously gravy sauce. I loved the well-seasoned wedges and tender chicken with nice crispy coating, but the gravy sauce was just not for me. Tad too thick and made the overall meal felt heavy paired to it. Got the Chocolate crepe for the sweet dish, but sub the strawberries with peanut butter at extra charge. Nothing special to call out from the crepe batter itself. Toppings were obviously yum cos nothing could go wrong with Nutella and PB. Would consider this bit pricey being close to $15. read more

A Yelp find that I have been wanting to try for a few weeks now and finally made it happen. Ordered the Biscuit Benny with a side 2-stack Buttermilk Pancake. The second meal ordered was The Chicken n Waffle with a side of 2-Scrambled Eggs. Pistachio Latte as well. The service was straight forward. The ambiance was one of a trendy Breakfast/Brunch spot. The environment however was a little uncomfortable for us as we arrived. It's like we walked in and the music stopped the record scratched and all eyes were on us briefly. Made more uncomfortable by the fact one of the hosts (Jose) kept bumping into me as if the place couldn't fit the both of us at the same time. After the second such bump, I had to ask him, was he ok. He apologized and feigned not to notice. However (afterwards and to his credit) he seemed a little more vigilant toward us ensuring we were well throughout our dining experience. So, (initially) not a very welcoming crowd for certain. Food arrived and I was really looking forward to it due to the delectable appearances of all the photos of past patrons. Our meals arrived together and looked perfect. And they were well put together meals just lacking flavor in certain areas. The Biscuit Benny's Gravy was thick, and textured the way I like for a Gravy over a Biscuit, just lacked flavor. And the Fried Chicken it covered was lacking, flavor wise, as well. Nice and crunchy however mine was a little tough due to an over cook. The Buttermilk Pancakes were well cooked just lacked Butter. Initially I assumed they were buttered when prepared but if so, not very much. The Home Potatoes however were the star of this dish. My guest even ate several off my plate as well. Very flavorful standing on their own. Over all solid meal that looked great. Prepared fresh and very eatable. The Chicken and Waffles were a definite solid as well. Just lacking flavor on the Fried Chicken, but the Waffle hit all markers. I'd say this is very much so a delicious safe place to consume breakfast or brunch. Reasonably priced (we were just short of $85 for our meals and a tip). Initially for us coming in, it didn't seem so welcoming but by the time we were to leave, things seemed somewhat better, and we felt better about it all, at that point. May be we will return and explore more menu items in the future. We'll see. Gratitude and give thanks Fratelli Cafe and Staff for the experience. read more

Literally nothing bad on the menu. Get something for breakfast with the potatoes. You'll thank me later.

Fratelli Cafe was a nice vibe for breakfast with friends! Very diverse menu with both sweet and savory options! The strawberry matcha might have been the best I've ever had. The prices were also pretty reasonable and the owner and employees were very kind and attentive! read more

This place is pretty good! Glad there is another option and they serve breakfast all day. While visiting for a week we came in twice around breakfast/brunch hour. A little busier on Friday than a Tuesday for sure, but we found plenty of open seating at the long family style table in the center of the restaurant. The Vanilla Caramel latte (hot) and Chai Tea latte (hot) were good. If eating-in, they are served in a big mug which I found aesthetically pleasing to drink out of. You choose a place to sit and peruse the menu (lots of options) then you go up and order at the counter and take a number. They have a small selection of pastries, but nothing looked inspiring so can't speak to those. The food: We tried two of their omelets, The Jackson and California. The description sounded more thrilling than the actual experience. They were average. Brioche french toast was thick slices of yumminess. My son liked that they were a bit soft in the middle. He said "undercooked", but that was not the cause. Much better than just using two slices of sandwich bread which some places do. Bit pricey to not come with anything else. The Fried Chicken Burger was really good. It had enough sauce and toppings to my satisfaction. I hate a dry sandwich or burger. Decent crisp to the fries. Son enjoyed the smash burger with fries. The only con are the prices for most dishes. Everyone in our party did not like this place as much as our go-to spot so, 3 stars. Expect to pay $18-20 for some eggs and potatoes. Pricing and tipping has gotten out of control. They do have someone walking around to bring your food to the table, but it's self-serve for water, utensils, condiments, etc. Asking for a tip when I'm at the counter to order and have not received any service outside of that is forever odd. We leave cash tip at tables. P.S. The coffee is good. Parking: private lot in a strip mall. Never had trouble finding a spot. There are additional spaces behind the building down the alley as well. read more

What's not to love? This is one of my favorite spots Los Angeles. The food is always fresh, the coffee, Matcha, tea, pastries are divine. If you haven't had the spice mocha yet, I highly recommend it. But this review is really a huge thank you. DoorDash completely made a disaster out of my order and delivered it to the wrong place and then argued with me about it. And you all took such amazing care of me and I am so grateful. Thank you so much to Sivan and Lior for writing a wrong that wasn't even their issue to begin with. I will now be ordering solely from your app. My cupped salad was amazing and my iced matcha was perfect!!!! Thank you!! read more

Came to have breakfast with some friends. At nine am on a Sunday there was plenty of open parking. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted and helped to an appropriate table for our party even though it's order at the counter. I liked getting to look over the menu at the table then ordering when ready. I got the sweet and savory (waffles w eggs, sausage). I also got the spiced mocha. The food came out quickly and accurately. The food was good, although I didn't really taste the pearl sugar in the Belgian waffle... It just tasted like a regular waffle instead. Still pretty good though. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the sausage was good. The coffee was beautiful and also tasty, although it was more coffee than mocha. Overall food and service were really good and the place was clean and well laid out. They did multiple times try to clear our dishes even though we weren't ready yet. I felt rushed to get out. I'd try it again though. Maybe it's a better place for take out. read more

We went to Fratelli Cafe today for breakfast/brunch and I had forgotten that it used to be Cafe Buna which we loved! We were greeted warmly and looked at the menu before ordering at the counter. The restaurant looks very similar to the way Cafe Buna looked but has a much bigger menu, including a lunch menu on the back. My friend had an egg white scramble with potatoes and toast and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffle. We both had lattes and we ordered a chocolate croissant. My friend said the scramble was just okay. The waffle was very good but the syrup was way to sweet and runny and kind of ruined the waffle. The fried chicken was a relatively small portion but was pretty good. It was basically two fried small thin sliced chicken breasts. I did need to add a little salt to the chicken to give it more flavor, but overall the chicken with the waffles worked. The lattes were strong and very pretty. The croissant was the best part of the meal and I'd come back for that any time! read more

I came here for brunch with a friend, and we were sat outside. Thankfully they have large umbrellas out there shading you from the sun. The set up is that you go up to their counter to order your food, they'll give you a number to put on your table so they can find you to bring out your food to you when it's ready. I ordered a hot chai tea, the choco croissant French toast, and a side of turkey sausage. The chai was good, and so was the French toast, which had banana slices and Nutella drizzle on top along with a side of syrup. I'd never had croissant French toast before, but it still tasted like classic French toast. It was good, just a bit pricey in my opinion for a meal of French toast, a side, and a drink. read more

Cool looking busy place with indoor/outdoor seatings and enough parking spots. I got eggs benedict with steak and a chocolate/strawberry crepe. The portion was pretty good, surprisingly the steak meat was tender and not chewy at all. All ingredients felt high quality. Good price to value ratio. I would come back to try something else. Service was on point, the food was ready very quick. The only down side to me was seatings that were criminally close to each other like few inches apart. It was rather uncomfortable. Also, the wind was hitting my legs, I was sitting next to the door. Overall a good place if you find a right table lol read more

How did I never know this place existed?! What a find The decor inside is so cute, and it's tucked away in a newer plaza with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I did a to go order after work and got the avocado toast with scrambled eggs for $14. The bread could've been a little more firm, but the flavor from the onions and the freshness of all the ingredients definitely made up for it. Service was great! I was greeted right away at the counter and really appreciated that they offered condiments to go. Would absolutely come back. read more

This is the last time I'm coming to this place. The cashier was incredibly impatient--borderline annoyed--because I was placing my order at the counter to eat in the dining area (since the servers don't take your order at the table). She gave me such an attitude that I actually had to ask her if she was feeling okay, or if she was upset because I was taking my time ordering my food--which I was doing because it was my first time at the restaurant. And it will definitely be my last. I advise the owner or manager of the restaurant to hire a professional--someone who does their job with passion, not with a nasty attitude and a fake smile. read more

I have been to the one on Melrose, but this is my first time at the newly opened MDR location. It's a casual breakfast restaurant, I would classify as no-frills and fast service. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you, it is not a sit down with full service sort of place. Parking is very easy because there is a large free parking lot right out front. Service is very fast so it is a good option if you are in a rush. The menu is not very large, but does have some solid options on it. This is not this sort of place that will blow you away, but it definitely gets the job done. I would say it classifies more as good, not great, but I still enjoy it and plan to be back more times in the future because I live very close to this location. I started off with a vanilla and caramel latte, and I honestly really liked it. It was my favorite part of the meal and I would highly recommend ordering it. The flavors were well balanced, and it was pleasantly strong. For my meal I chose The Biscuit Benny and thought it was fairly good. The eggs were a bit bland and I wish the biscuit on the bottom would have been fluffier but overall it was still enjoyable. Wasn't my favorite version I've had but definitely not the worst. I would recommend this place if you were in the area or searching for a really quick option for breakfast. read more

Not a bad breakfast place, food was decent but on the pricey side for what you receive.

Today was my first time at the cafe. Initially, I was planning to come back because the gentleman at the register was nice and gave two stars because of him. However - as I was walking to the door behind two men, the male host walked past me, held the door open for the two men in front of me, then walked through and let the door close right in my face. As a woman, I found that incredibly rude. I sarcastically said, "Thank you for holding the door," and he just looked confused. Based on that experience, I won't be back. read more

This is a very busy spot. So it's it a bit noisy. The service is quick. The staff are nice and courteous.The food came out hot and delicious. I ordered a Allmans breakfast burrito and a hot blueberry latte. They make their syrups in house. Love this is a family owned business. I'd also like to point out that they have been strategic in how they operate. They encourage patrons to take a seat before getting in line to order. This limits the whole family getting in line to order. Also gives time for people to not to feel rushed about their selections. If you have a pickup order, there is no need to come inside the restaurant. There is a pickup window. There is also seating outside. Parking available on the street or in the parking lot. Yes there are no photos. Cause once again I inhaled the food. Definitely be coming back here to try other items. read more
