This former Grain Cafe - Van Nuys locations is the new and latest. I Love U Brunch is very much all in the name, however for this plant-based foodie their small limited vegan menu consist of a "Chicken" Sandwich, Burrito and Tacos. None of which are labeled on receipts, especially via third party apps. They've cancelled one of my take out orders as well as deliver for me and always seem to be out or low when in person... I'm not sure what the deal is here, but as far as I can tell it's very lackluster. It looks nearly exactly the same on the outside as when it was Grain with new signage and some nice additions to the inside (vibrant colors) though it could be a cousin of it's previous incarnation off Gilmore Street/Van Nuys Blvd. Not ideal for large groups as most tables and chairs, including the patio are limited to 2 to 4 people. I will say that some of the sides are vegan friendly as well as the avocado toast (without egg) and veggie wrap when you omit the dairy/cheese. Ideal for the average everyday brunch/breakfast lunch goer for sure. Easy small lot parking or local street parking. Load of beverages and dairy based smoothies which I believe can be made vegan since they do offer both almond and oat milk for their lattes. The service isn't the best, very off beat in a off way so I'm not sure I'll give them any more chances.
Service was great. Place was a bit small. The wait time wasn't that long. I think I enjoyed the breakfast quesadillas more than the chilaquiles. Mimosas very tasteful. I definitely recommend this place hidden gym for sure.
Had brunch with family on a beautiful Summer Sunday. I ordered the Birria Taco; siblings ordered chicken salad and Steak and eggs. Tasty and satisfying. Steak was fresh and tasted great! Wait staff was friendly and helped us with suggested items to try. Outside tables available; we ate outside. Everyone had a smile on their faces as they walked out of restaurant. Wonderful local brunch spot for all! We shall return. Cheers!~
I was excited to try this place, and the food was good with decent service. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness. The dishes didn't seem fully clean, the mimosa holder was sticky, and the cups looked worn. I ended up requesting plastic cups and utensils. I hope this is something they can improve, because it definitely affected my visit. Also, our food was pretty cold. I'm not sure I'll be back or recommend this place.
my partner and I had a great experience. We came in for breakfast around 10am. Food was amazing! Water was crisp and they have parking! We ordered a cafe de olla and chilaquiles. The food came out pretty fast and our waiter was pretty attentive to us. The place is small so I would suggest to come early or make a reservation.
had an amazing experience at I Love Brunch! The Tierra y Mar molcajete was absolutely delicious, loaded with perfectly cooked steak, shrimp, melted cheese, chorizo, and nopales. Every bite was full of flavor. I also ordered an horchata and a vanilla latte, and both were so good and refreshing. On top of the great food, the service was amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'll for sure be going back soon. Highly recommend!
One of my favorite places for brunch!! The food is delicious and it's always fresh. The services is fast and they are all so kind! It is small and but they always make it work. There's plenty of street parking.
The service here was great, however we ordered Arugala Salad with caramelized walnuts and none were in this salad . We brought it to the attention of the cook, they sent over granola as a supplement?!?!? We ordered a specialty drink which was supposed to have cucumber,apple, pineapple... they had informed us there was no cucumber Unfortunately all the rave reviews we saw on TikTok were a bust for us. The club sandwich was pretty ok .... That I will give them. Unique flavor .
I was walking and saw this place on the corner of my eye. It's kind of hidden from the main street. But it's definitely a hidden gem. Very clean inside. The girl working is very nice. And the food is excellent. I love my dish. They play music inside. It's a nice vibe. I would definitely come back. 5 stars
First time trying out I Love U Brunch, nice and clean breakfast spot, I was greeted by Vivian she was really nice and welcoming. I had the El Campeón it comes with 3 flavors of chilaquiles red, green and mole along with a 6oz New York steak strip medium rare and it was delicious, to drink I had a vanilla Latte really really good. I will definitely be coming back to try out more items in the future. Gracais a todos at I Love U Brunch for the delicious breakfast.
The food was absolutely fire! It was delicious! Cant wait to go back. It's a small hole in the wall. The food was fresh and very flavorful! I highly recommend it! We ordered the molcajete mar y tierra, quesa birria and the chile relleno!
The restaurant is located behind Sketchers and the parking lot is very tight. I recommend street parking, as the spaces are quite narrow. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated at a booth and our order was taken promptly. I ordered the cafe de olla, which could have used a bit more depth of flavor, as it tasted closer to regular coffee, but it was still enjoyable. My mom ordered a margarita and my uncle had the carrot orange juice. The juice was made fresh in front of us and tasted delicious. The margarita was perfect, strong and definitely did the trick. They even lit it on fire, which was a fun touch. The food was good overall, though slightly on the salty side. I ordered the molcajete with chorizo and cecina, which was flavorful and came with a very tasty salsa. Service was attentive and quick throughout our visit. Next time, I plan on trying the pancakes or waffles, so I will definitely be back.
I ordered over the phone and they told me 10 min. I arrive 15 minutes later only to be told to wait 15 more minutes. The avocado toast, isn't even toasted. The quality of the food is really bad. It's not even warm. And to top it off, it was over $50 for 3 items that were subpar. Really disappointed.

Came in for a sister brunch date and absolutely love the place. When me & sister got there, the place was pretty empty (we did a weekday purposely for this reason) , service was fast and loved that we got to ask a million questions regarding the menu without annoyance (we don't do substitution when eating out, just curious about what it is, for context we are washed hispanics ) Service was quick & mimosas were strong (A++ in my sissy's book lol) Food was amazing ! Sister and I usually eat & share plates for taste maxxing & 10/10 recommend ! Also the steak was delicious! read more
Stopped by here with some friends for breakfast. I ended up grabbing the I love u burrito and Mango Lemonade. Burrito exceded my expectations, the bacon was crispy, and the sunny side egg was perfect. The two salsas complemented everything. The mango lemonade was bland, not sweet or sour. Service was great, pretty fast. read more

Was told about this place from a friend. Do yourself a favor and try this place! It's not in the best of areas, parking it tight, there's metered street parking also. It's a small restaurant, but cozy, clean, brightly decorated, nice music. Was greeted very warmly as we walked in. Service was great. The staff took their time answering any and all our questions. They serve delicious Oaxacan food. They have basic breakfast if you want, pancakes etc. I got the Oaxacan plate, chicken smothered in fresh mole sauce. Chicken was juicy, mole rich,tasty with perfect amount of heat. Rice and beans from scratch with hand made tortillas. Wife hade Oaxacan enchiladas, stuffed with Oaxacan cheese, and mole sauce. We can't wait to go back and try other dishes. I had a Jamaica and my wife had a cafe de ola and a moca coffee which she raved about. They use real good Mexican chocolate. Prices are average with today's restaurant. They also make smoothies. So good to find a delicious family run restaurant, that's clean , food made from scratch, and happy people working there. We will become regulars for sure! Please check them out. read more

Really amazing Chilaquiles best in the area if I'm being honest, it had really great flavor and the presentation was really beautiful. read more
Date: May 11, 2025 It's Mother's Day and I have no idea what I wanted but stumbled across this spot scrolling down grub hub. So decided to indulge since it's my special day right? Ordered two classic burritos which has the choice of steak or chicken, salsa, rice, guacamole, and pico de gallo. I got one steak and one chicken. They were both pretty good. Only thing that marked the stars down was that there was no pico de gallo, and it had beans. (I hate beans but since the description didn't mention, I didn't remove it). Also only had like a teaspoon of guac which was kind of sad. . It was quickly made which was nice because my order came way earlier than expected. Came with some chips too which was nice. Sadly some were pretty stale but the ones that weren't were really good! Perfectly salted and fried. Overall it was a nice first try. The menu looks good too so hope to try it in stores next time! read more

My family and I were looking for a great brunch spot on a Sunday morning, and we ended up at I Love U Brunch. I'm so glad we did! This place is a total gem in Van Nuys, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The vibe inside is super warm and welcoming--perfect for a family. We settled into a cozy booth, and the fun began. I have to start with my dish, the Algo Bien (steak and eggs). They bring it out and literally light the steak on fire at your table! It was such a cool presentation, and it's not just a gimmick; the steak itself was delicious and cooked perfectly. I also had a fantastic, traditional café de olla served in a beautiful, colorful mug and a refreshing cucumber, celery, and apple smoothie. It was a hit with everyone. My wife ordered the chilaquiles, and she loved them--they had the perfect balance of sauce and crispiness. Our 8-year-old daughter was happy with her classic eggs and hash browns and a hot chocolate, and she and my wife shared some of their fluffy pancakes. All in all, it was a fantastic meal. The food was creative and delicious, the ambiance was cozy and authentic, and it was a memorable brunch for the whole family. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended. read more
Cute little spot in Van Nuys with amazingly delicious authentic Mexican breakfasts! I love some good chilaquiles and theirs are one of the best. With three different sauce options to choose from; red, green, mole, you can go wrong with either. They are sauced really well yet still crunchy and my eggs were cooked just how I like them. I added the birria and the meat was tender and flavored really well. Our table also ordered the dish El Campeón and it was enormous!!! So much food that can be easily shared. Everything was seasoned and cooked beautifully, really felt like a home cooked meal. They also have their own hot sauce they make in house and it was delicious and had the perfect kick. To drink I highly recommend the cafe de olla! read more

My husband had the Love U burrito and I had the El Campeón. It was fantastic! We also had the cafe de olla and a vanilla latte. Atmosphere was cute, tucked away in a little side street right off of the unassuming Van Nuys Blvd. Sit near the window and you'll have plants right outside. Service was prompt and friendly. We'll definitely be back to try their dinner menu at some point. And we'll definitely be back because I know I'll want the El campeón again. I was surprised to see the 3.5 rating honestly because I had a five star experience. Glad I didn't let the stupid rating keep me away. read more

very small, not cozy spot. we were not greeted when we walked in and the woman at the counter took forever to seat us despite there being space that was "occupied for a reservation" that cancelled and when the girls heard they laughed about it. Horrible customer service, the waitresses both walked away when I was speaking to them multiple times, leaving my questions unanswered. One of the girls said "no mas hablo español" as she walked away so I repeated myself in spanish and she just stated. Will not be returning, should've read yelp reviews instead of trusting tiktok influencers lol. read more

It was delicious! Comes out looking just as good, if not better than the pictures! I saw this place on PostMates and ended up deciding I had to go and try it in person. Wife, kids, and I were definitely not disappointed! Hot chocolate and stove coffee (cinnamon and all that good stuff) were also delicious. read more
