    Bee Eggs Benedict
    Jedrick M.

    Came here with a couple of friends for breakfast/brunch on the weekend. They opened at 8 and we were able to get a table immediately which was a pleasant surprise. The service from sitting down to leaving was exceptional and welcoming as our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the Bee Eggs Benedict which was packed with flavor. The serving was adequate and what I think sets it apart from other eggs Benedict's I've had is that they kept this simple. Some versions have so much going on and the flavors contrast each other leading more to a mush. This version is much more direct so that the flavor from the sauce, eggs, protein and potatoes was highly noticeable. My friend ordered the panwhich which is a play on a pancake sandwich that that serving was huge haha. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and optimal for small or large parties. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a solid weekend breakfast/brunch joint in the Valley. Little bit of a small parking lot but overall, the service and the stellar food are enough for me to make a return visit!

    My experience here was great because of the helpful service, cozy vibe, and yummy food. First, I found the staff to be very attentive. We were very quickly seated and given water. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and listed out some of the menu favorites. We were checked on and given water regularly, which was great! Second, I love the vibe in here. It's a bigger space than I expected. Within the restaurant there is a main dining area, a side room, and outdoor seating. There's also a little space for selling pastries/desserts that I found quite cute. As the name suggests, there is a humble vibe. The parking situation is a bit limited. There are not many spaces out front, which is something to be aware of if you're thinking of stopping by. Lastly, the food was really delicious. I ordered the Panwich and tried a little bit of my friends omelette. The omelette was really good and cooked to my liking. The panwich was also really good! I'm a sucker for the savory + sweet combo. The combo of sausage, pancake, syrup, marscapone cheese, and apples was elite. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will be coming again more!

    Honestly this place is humble and delicious. Food tastes great and you can really taste the quality ingredients. Coffee was delicious and service was fantastic. I definitely recommend coming over for a clean organic and tasty breakfast.

    I happen to work across the street from the hidden gem that is the Humble Bee! The space inside is absolutely lovely & has a homey feel to it. The food is all sourced from local farmers & vendors. The servers are absolutely amazing, special shoutout to the wonderful Maddie! My tuna melt with side salad was beyond delicious, I savored every bite. My boyfriend loved the picadillo burrito he ordered, the salsas they make are the cherry on top, they are all absolutely delicious!!! If you have never visited I highly recommend, fresh food & there is something for everyone on the menu!

    Really loved the vibe at Humble Bee! Super cozy with lots of plants, ambient lighting, and plenty of seating (including big tables for groups). The skylight room is my favorite--it gets so much natural light and feels super refreshing. The customer service was amazing too. The food tasted fresh and didn't feel overly processed or heavy. The chai latte was good, nothing too crazy, and I liked that the pastries weren't overly sweet. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    EVERYTHING WENT WELL...even for my very picky inlaws. This little hidden gem was a nice surprise after a sorority event for my daughter. Brunch on a Saturday was a treat while we were visiting in October. The Pumpkin Spice pancakes were awesome and moist I had the special Carnitas breakfast tacos and my inlaws had the Benedict and omelet. Ryan was very attentive and efficient with service and recommendations Coffee and lattes were hot and the bakery pastries were hard to choose from. Along with my latte I also had the Dr.Feel Good juice and it was very good and just what the doctor ordered. There were plenty of seating options inside the two dinning rooms and patio seating when the weather is nice. I came back in November by myself and enjoyed Ryan's amazing service and the short stack with pork bacon and my yummy latte with a Dr. Feel Good to go.

    It's been years since I was last here. Back then it was somewhat of a regular spot that we would stop in for Sunday brunch. Fast forward to now. A last minute meet up with some friends for breakfast. Well, as it's been years since we were last here, might as well see how it's been. Saturday just before noon, so pretty much the morning rush had disappeared. It is bigger than I remembered so they're doing well. Our friends were already seated so we didn't need to check in. What I remembered was the staff were all very friendly. This visit it was same but service was a little slow in the beginning. It took a while to get someone to help us. Well for food, a selections of dishes were ordered. The pancakes with fruit, French toast, one of the omelette and the animal style. Presentation, clean and simple. Nothing crazy as the food is the focal point. The French toast, that looked amazing. Thick pieces of bread with the mascarpone cream I believe and a good amount of berries. Pancakes, simple and classic. Nice portion both with the stack and fruit. Then you have the omelette, that was with toast and with a side of salsa and butter. It was quite nice and pretty filling. Lastly you have the animal style. A pile of potatoes with ground turkey, caramelized onions and topped with two over easy eggs. I don't remember that on the menu years back. It was quite nice but really filling with the potatoes. Overall, service was a little slow at the beginning. Did have to ask for a refill but afterwards it was great. Staff were all friendly. Food did take a little while but it was good. They still have baked good I believe that's available for purchase as well. We used to pick up a bottle of champagne next door from the store to make mimosas prior as they didn't have a liquor license. Not sure if that's still allowed. Years later, the food was what I remembered and is still quite tasty.

    Came here for Brunch today. Parking is Atrocious, off the bat. Opt to locate parking on Saticoy. If you park on the south side of Saticoy avoid jaywalking as it's too unsafe and you're better off walking further to use the crosswalk. This place has a nice atmosphere kinda reminds me of a cafe I'd see in Venice, Ca. Has a Boho vibe. We were acknowledged right away. Wait time was just over 5 minutes. Were given the option of where to sit, and that was nice. Staffing today was lower than what they should've had for a Sunday and service was slightly lacking as a result. That's primarily the reason for the 4 Star review. Staff overall was very hospitable and friendly. Ordered the pancakes and Chilaquiles. I ordered a coffee with cream on the side. Cream was never brought over had to request it. I also expected our waitress to check and refill the coffee more than what we experienced. Pancakes with fresh fruit were fluffy and spot on. Chilaquiles portion was smaller than I'm used to. Lacked chips. However the flavor was incredible. Slightly on the spicier side, but probably some of the best tasting Chilaquiles I've had anywhere. Place is perfect for smaller groups. Restroom was clean. I'd definitely recommend.

    Nice place and easy to get a table. Everyone was helpful and the food was good! It was a little pricey but worth it.

    Came here last Sunday for the first time since the pandemic. Around 930 am the small parking lot was already filling up but there's plenty of street parking. No wait and got sat immediately. Our waiter was hilarious with her jokes between us figuring out what to order and reminding me they never sold oatmeal. I only had a bite of the panwich but that thing was heavy and filling. Eating a whole would feel like two meals. I stayed with the bacon eggs, bacon and orange juice. Will be back soon and won't wait another 5 yrs

    Been hankering to go to Humble Bee for a long time and we finally managed to get parking so we could try it! I liked Humble Bee - it has all the right buzz words for me. Farm to table. Outdoor seating. Cozy cafe vibe with lots of plants and wood and some cool design stuff. I just wish the food we got this time had a little more oomph. Got a Benedict, a veggie omelet, and pancakes. Benedict eggs were runny and nice. Good proportion of hollandaise sauce. Petite muffin but proportional. I liked the benedict. The side of potatoes were a little undercooked and had very little seasoning on them, which was a letdown. Turkey sausage was a patty and also a little mild, but some ketchup and S&P helped them out. Veggie omelet had a pretty yummy flavor but the veggies were a little firm. I got this one with salad, which was a good move since the potatoes didn't do it for me at all. It was also just nice to have something light and green. Pancake was a classic diner pancake done well, good syrup, and served with actually ripe strawberries! This was great. I do think maybe sweet is the way to go here but I've been scorned by sweets lately and went savory instead. The chai latte (with oatmilk) was the best part of this meal. Sweet without being overly sweet, a good balance of spices (no overpowering single note!), and creamy dreamy. 10/10 for the chai. When I'm in the mood for sweets, I will return!

    I give this place 3.7/ 5. Inside is a chill atmosphere. Clean and warm design. It is not a bog space so they work what they have. Hospitality was great and very helpful attendant who knows the menu and made few suggestions. Our order was ham and omelette 3.5/ 5. It was ok decent size. I've been to so many breakfast place and they serve bigger portion for the price. The picadillo burrito was 4/ 5. It was better than expected I should say. The order was also an ok size. Although this place is only open at a certain hours of the day people still com here. Parking is very limited as it has only few spots. Streets parking is a challenge to see once it is in the main highway.

    Ham & cheese omelette and chilaquiles with a glass of lavender lemonade 3

    Food and service are both amazing! I truly appreciate Ryan's consideration for my husband's gluten allergy and my Coeliac Disease. Best seats are in the patio IMO.

    Waited 45 mins for our food. The portions are very small. Way too pricey for what we got. It is a cute place, but I will not be returning.

    Ask the Community - Humble Bee

    Do you take reservations?

    Their website allows you to book reservations through "opentable". Reservations are pretty easy to make for the same day, if during the week- but you will want to reserve a table further in advance, if trying to go anytime during the weekend.

    Do they allow pets?

    They have outdoor seating that does allow pets.

    Any gluten free options besides salad and eggs?

    One time they had a gluten free pancake and it was incredible, better than normal pancakes. I don't know how normal that is.

    Any Vegan options?

    YES!!!! My GF is vegan and I'm vegetarian. We are both very happy with our options.

    Their pastries never fail to satisfy my sweet tooth. I always get their assorted ponchik because I…read morecan't pick just a single flavor -- you can't go wrong with any of them because they're all pretty good! The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise). So yeah, if you're looking for a new spot to try or just want a break from other known big or chain bakeries, try Papillon!

    We've ordered from Papillon Bakery in Northridge several times now, and every single visit has been…read moreconsistently great. The food is always fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced, which keeps us coming back. Some of our absolute favorites are the potato pirashki, cabbage pirashki, nacho cheese empanadas, and of course the custard and Nutella ponchiks--everything is always warm, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here.
