So.....it's no longer called CC's but it's still a hot 10/10. Nothing in the menu has changed, I think it just got bigger and better. I highly recommend any pancakes when you come here. The coffee is also amazing. read more

My go-to brunch spot for years with consistently good food and a place I usually enjoy bringing friends and family. That said, the service can be hit or miss. On a Thursday in May, I had my mom bring a friend here, and they had a disappointing experience. I was told by my mom and my friend that they were still clearly in the middle of eating when they were brought a to-go box and the check, as if they were being rushed out. It felt abrupt and a bit rude, especially since they hadn't finished their meal yet. I understand the place can get busy even on weekdays, but that kind of service takes away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch experience. read more

We've been coming here for years now and the one thing ai can say for sure is that they are still busy as ever and the soufflé pancakes are amazing but do take about 30 min to prepare. Remember to always go early if you don't want to wait long, otherwise you might have to wait for about 20min on a weekend. Price is high and they've gone higher. We usually spend about $100 for 2 people. read more

Amazing benedict selection! I got the crab cake and spicy pulled pork benedict. Crab cakes were cooked to perfection. The pulled pork was a little sweeter than expected but overall, great portions and service. Looking forward to our next visit to try some of their pancakes. read more

Haven't been to Cici's in forever and I saw they had rebranded and decided to come in for a visit. Still a menu filled with everything you could think of to order. We started with some hot chocolates and shared the eggs Benedict, itsy bitsy pancakes and a crepe. Everything was delicious but we definitely order a bit too much food even for sharing. Staff were friendly as always. read more

My usual go to is loco moco or corned beef hash. BUT I've never seen beef panang curry with lava omelet. It did NOT disappoint. Beef was super tender. Panang sauce had that creamy peanut flavor with a slight kick of heat with flavor! Lava omelet was beautifully cooked and fun to eat. It is like a Japanese omurice which I've never had before. My only critique is that I would want Japanese sticky rice. Jasmine rice is too loose and Japanese rice would hold up to all the delicious sauce and lava omelet. So much flavor and nothing was needed like salt, pepper, hot sauce. My server Mint (I loved that she spelled her name for me) was super sweet and patient. It's a THIRTY page menu!!! She said beef panang was her favorite and I don't think she was just saying that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner is Thai so I love the little hints of Thai decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean with modern lights and decorations. Everyone is very helpful in keeping everything clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Ordered the breakfast sandwich and the bread to filling ratio was just not it. I wish there was more green in it, lettuce or avocado. The potatoes and the sandwich were missing some hot sauce or something. Overall willing to try again but not thrilled to. read more

Lady C’s - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tarzana, California

So Cici's Cafe is now Lady C's, and there is a difference, in my opinion. There are a lot of new menu items that I hadn't seen before. I tried the Panang beef omelet. It's like the Japanese Omurice. While the panang had good flavor, it lacked in salt. The scalloped potatoes also lacked in salt. Everyone at our table ordered something different and had the same complaint. The souffle pancakes are worth the wait and was loved by us all. So fluffy, soft, and delicious! Their sweet dishes are still on point, but the newer savory ones heed some work. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by for brunch on Wednesday. It wasn't too crowded around 11 am when we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a small parking lot for the whole plaza, but I can see it getting full during busy times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant wasn't too crowded when I arrived, maybe 1/3 of the tables were occupied.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu was very long and overwhelming.... let's just say I've never seen a menu with a table of contents before! lol I know they're known for their pancakes, so I definitely wanted to try some, but I also prefer savory dishes at brunch. I ended up ordering a custom frittata ($22.95) with spinach, portabello mushroom, and turkey breast for my savory, and the matcha souffle pancake ($24.95) for my sweet. The frittata came out first. The shape wasn't quite what I was expecting, as it looked more like an egg pancake (it was large and thin) rather than a frittata, but it was good. I got it with a side of fruit and plain bagel, so it was a relatively light breakfast. The matcha souffle pancakes came out after ~25 minutes or so, which isn't bad at all. The menu said to expect a 45 minute wait on weekdays, but no one else was ordering the souffle pancake so it came out much quicker than expected. I have mixed feelings about the souffle pancakes. On one hand, they're super soft and jiggly and almost just melts in your mouth. I really liked them from a texture point of view. I also thought they had the right amount of sweetness. However, even though it comes covered in a green matcha sauce and I'm sure they added some matcha into the pancake itself, I couldn't taste any matcha. If I had known that earlier, I would've ordered one of the other souffle pancakes where the flavor comes through more. Also, they are pretty pricey for what they are... yes the pancakes are massive, but it's the first time I paid more for pancakes than for my entree at brunch. My friend ordered the Mama Bea Omelet ($22.95) and really enjoyed it. It was his first time getting an omelet with salsa on top, and I have a feeling it won't be the last! The scalloped potatoes on the side were delicious as well. He also got the house coffee (called Cup of Joe on the menu) for $3.75 and enjoyed the unlimited refills. Would recommend all brunch and pancake lovers to come and try brunch here! read more

Literally another brunch run with my bestie today. I got the combo steak, eggs and crepes and she got the parang curry plate. Everything was so good. Not a long wait time today and their food always comes out hot and fresh. We ordered an iced cappuccino but it wasn't sweetened. We asked a staff to give us sweetener which they did.

Here's the revised version with the first two paragraphs unchanged and the update reflected at the end: We had a great experience at Cici's Cafe. I ordered the CC Café omelette and it was very good and super filling. The chicken apple sausage was a standout--really flavorful and delicious. We also shared the matcha soufflé pancakes, and wow. They were rich, fluffy, and absolutely delicious without being overly sweet. We did have to wait for a table, so I'd definitely expect a wait during busier times, especially on the weekend. Overall, great food and a spot I'd happily come back to. read more

Pancakes, this place is all about their pancakes! And long waits... We got their Panang Curry and Lava Omelet along with their Straberry Souffle Pancake and Banoffee Souffle cup. Gave us a good savory and sweet brunch. We really liked it all. The curry dish is a must. Both souffles were good, so you should leave without trying at least one souffle. We had approx 30min of wait and another 45min of wait for their souffles. There will be a lot of waiting. Was it worth it? Even with all the waiting? Yes. If you have a super chill weekend and wouldn't mind a late breakfast, its worth it. I would recommend this place. read more

Even though they changed their name the food still taste the same - really good. However, the prices have gone up since the last time I visited. I was shocked to find out that most our orders The Chopper- Two eggs, bacon and french toast cost $24.95, Green Tea Tiramisu $22.95 and My Bella pasta $23.95. My over all total was $95+including tip. I think Lady C has gone too pricey compared to other breakfast places that also served great food and offer great choices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place in Tarzana still looked the same not much have changed. Same tables, chairs decors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. read more

Randomly found this place and it was delicious! Big menu and big portions! LOTS of French toast, pancakes, and waffle flavours. They even have soufflé pancakes but we didn't order any. Line gets long so expect to wait a bit but theirs turnover seems to be quick. On our visit, we tried the Aloha Pancakes, Loco Moco Benny, The Chopper (with pancakes), and a Mexican dish that we can't remember the name... oops! But everything tasted great! Not a lot of parking spaces but there are street parking available too. Friendly staff and they seem to be a well-oiled machine so you'll get a typical diner experience here. read more

We've been coming to Cici's Café for years, mainly for breakfast -- and it never disappoints. The food is always amazing, and we've tried a variety of dishes over time. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and everything comes out fresh and flavorful. Just a heads-up: weekends get really busy, so expect a long wait. Your best bet is to come super early or closer to brunch to beat the rush. But honestly, it's worth the wait every single time. One of our favorite go-to breakfast spots! read more

The food is absolutely amazing! There's a limit of one soufflé pancake per table and it takes a while to make, but it's worth the wait. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The cafe is very popular, so it's difficult to get a seat especially on weekends. It's a very small and enclosed space and can get really loud inside. They have a small parking lot outside but the parking situation gets crazy during peak hours. read more

From Cici to now Lady C's the great breakfast food quality has not changed and I'm so glad they are here to stay. They have a lengthy menu with various breakfast options including all the typical sweet and savory breakfast items as well as Asian infused breakfast cuisines. I'm always a sucker for green tea pancakes. The green tea pancakes were perfectly made and the texture reminds me of a bite of cake since it comes in a stack of 3, warm, soft, and fluffy every bite. My friends ordered soufflé pancakes. If you are here for the soufflé hype just know there can be delays with making the soufflé pancakes, it states the time frame on the menu too. Another menu item that stood out is the Chicken Curry & Lava Omelet - Great flavor and very filling. I love the big portion sizes, great for girls breakfast and brunch dates for sharing. Service is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is casual, gets busy and small plaza parking can get crowded but there's parking available in the back too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

That menu is huge. So much selections. We shared a savory and a sweet dish. Corned beef Benny was ok. I always compare corned beef from my favorite place so this one did not meet the expectations. The other components of the Benny were good - egg was runny, sauce was tasty. Had their Japanese style pancakes ... that was really yummy. So filling too. Balanced sweetness. There's ample parking at the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place gets busy so come with your patience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will certainly go back since I need to try their Dutch Baby. read more

The lines do not seem to be as long as before the name change. Or maybe it's because there's a new rule of only one soufflé pancake per party of 6. We can't have 6 people sharing one pancake, so we had soufflé cups to supplement. The cups are pretty decent in size as well. Food here has always been good, coffee could be a bit better. read more

Amazing food, the souffle pancakes are amazing, and you really do not need more than one per group as they are massive and meal portions are huge.

I've been to both CiCi's Cafe locations and somehow they both hit with the exact same consistency every time -- which is saying a lot because this place gets PACKED. I first heard about CiCi's because of their pancakes... specifically the Green Tea Tiramisu pancakes. Now look -- I'm not even a green tea guy like that. But when someone describes pancakes with words like tiramisu, mascarpone, and layered textures, I'm not about to ask questions. I ordered them off faith and I'm glad I did. These pancakes are ridiculously good. The texture is soft but not soggy, the matcha flavor is balanced (not overly earthy), and the mascarpone cream adds this light, almost mousse-like richness that doesn't feel heavy. It's one of those plates that looks like it belongs on someone's Instagram feed... meanwhile it's sitting in front of me -- a tatted dad -- ready to get absolutely demolished. No shame in my game. Pro tip: sit at the bar. It's the fastest way to get seated because the wait times can get wild. I usually pair the pancakes with the Eggs Benedict, which are consistently on point. Perfectly poached eggs with a runny yolk, a well-emulsified hollandaise that isn't overly lemony, and their house potatoes legit taste like they were stir-fried in bacon grease (again... in the best way possible). Crispy outside, fluffy inside -- exactly how breakfast potatoes should be. I'll wash it all down with a fresh squeezed OJ if I'm keeping it classic, or a latte if I'm trying to feel a little sophisticated that morning. My only complaint? Both locations are in the Valley. CiCi's, if you're reading this -- please show some love to the Long Beach / LA side. Until then, I guess I'll keep making the drive. read more

The food was amazing but there was such big portions they wouldn't fit on the table! There was a wait but it was brunch time on the weekend so I get it. The selection here is impressive. I really wanted to try a soufflé pancake, but they said it would take 45 minutes to make. So I settled for this gigantic Dutch oven thing that someone sitting next to me had. When I went to eat it, it tasted undercooked. But the strawberry pancakes and bacon and eggs that I got on something called the chopper was delicious. read more

Love love love Lady C's. The Fiancé and I stopped by on our day off. It was during lunchtime on a Wednesday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was plenty of seating. It's got a lovely diner style feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And all the servers were super helpful with all our questions about the humongous menu. If you thought Cheesecake Factory had fatty menu. Think again! The future hubs got a Favalanche. Just like it sounds, it was a flavorful avalanche of strawberries and cream. I was so pleased to see a few vegan options. I ordered the very tasty veggie burger with a side of crispy onion rings. I also got a hot citrus chamomile tea. They serve it to you in your very own cute little tea pot. And they let me take the leftover tea home to enjoy the next day. Wish I could have given it an extra star for the free parking in the lot. read more

Cici's Cafe -- if you're in a rush for breakfast, this may not be the place for you. It gets extremely busy, and parking isn't the greatest. That said, once you're seated, you will not be disappointed. Breakfast is always delicious. Their curry is great, the pancakes are amazing, and the menu is basically a novel -- there's truly something for everyone in the family. Customer service is nice, and it's impressive to see how this small establishment has grown into such a successful, well-loved business. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you've never been here. read more

Breakfast at Lady C's was absolutely worth the wait.There was about a 30-minute line when we got there, but honestly, it didn't even feel that long. I ended up wandering into the little CD store next door while we waited, which made the whole experience kind of fun and nostalgic.Now let's talk about the food... because WOW.We ordered a little bit of everything, and every plate that came out felt like comfort food with a twist. The Dutch baby pancake was a standout--light and fluffy on the inside with crispy edges, topped with powdered sugar, fresh strawberries, and warm caramelized apples that melted into every bite.Then there was the waffle piled high with bananas, whipped cream, and a generous drizzle of chocolate. It was sweet, indulgent, and definitely one of those "you have to share it... or not" kind of plates.For something more savory, the breakfast plate with crispy bacon, eggs, and perfectly seasoned home fries hit the spot. The potatoes had that golden crunch on the outside and soft center inside--exactly how they should be.We also tried a breakfast burrito loaded with eggs, cheese, and hearty fillings, topped with sauce and fresh cilantro. It was filling, flavorful, and one of those dishes that keeps you full for the rest of the day.Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and made with care. You can tell they put thought into their menu with some unique specialty items that really stand out from your typical breakfast spot.[[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, between the delicious food, the cozy vibe, and even the little adventure while waiting, this place is definitely a must.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd wait 30 minutes again without thinking twice. Five stars. read more

I came to Lady C's for my dad's birthday breakfast, and this experience was especially disappointing because I've been coming here for the past 15 years with my parents, family, and friends. This has always been one of my favorite breakfast spots, and I genuinely love the food, especially the tiramisu soufflé, which is amazing. Food wise, it's consistently a 10/10. I completely understand that this is a popular spot and wait times can be long. Waiting 30 minutes to an hour has never bothered me. We were seated, ordered our food, and while the service was just okay, I was still understanding because I know how busy they can get. The issue happened after we finished eating and paid our bill. My dad, stepmom, and I wanted to sit for just a little longer to talk since we don't get to spend time together often. The restaurant clearly states there is a 2-hour maximum at each table, and we had only been there for about an hour total. We weren't planning to stay another full hour. Maybe just 10-15 more minutes. I was still finishing my coffee and water when our waiter asked us to leave because they needed the table for a larger party. What made this even more disappointing was that it happened during my dad's birthday breakfast. For a restaurant that isn't cheap, I expected better hospitality. I also spoke with the manager afterward, and it felt like my concerns were brushed off rather than genuinely addressed. After being a loyal customer for 15 years, this experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. The food is still great, but the hospitality today was extremely disappointing. read more

Formerly known as CiCi's, Lady C's is an absolutely incredible breakfast spot. My primary advice is to get here early, this place fills up fast and the wait can be long! To start the coffee here is fantastic! They have several different combination plates for breakfast, we've tried the pancakes, French toast, the potatoes, bacon (they cook it well done, and it's great!), and the fresh fruit, all of it delish. Service is friendly and attentive, we never needed to ask for refills. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food (excellent). Parking is available in the front lot (limited space) and there is a much larger lot in the back, but it's a bit of a walk to get around to the front again. There's street parking as well (some of it metered). read more

His Penang curry omelet was really really good. We chose the Banoffee Soufflé Cup and it was perfect -NOT sweet at call. I knew it was Big portions so i only ate half of my entree so i could make room for my Souffle. Service was impeccable, even with it busy they always stopped by our table. read more

The food here is actually good! What's terrible, is the service. Particularly an older Asian woman who seems to be in a bitter mood every time I've visited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My group of 5 was sat at a smaller table (no big deal).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She took our order and two people were going to order the soufflé pancakes, she cut off the second person saying "it's only one order of those pancakes per table". I don't see where this rule is advertised but maybe this should be advertised before having all the ads to this restaurant be photos of these specific pancakes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mind you, it was a weekday at 12:00 pm, and the place was half full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition two other people at my table ordered the piña colada pancakes, and again interjected with "those come with 3, are you sure you want to order two". I understand a helpful tip, but the attitude was just so aggressive. All the other waitresses are sweet and nice/ helpful. I hope management can retrain this specific person on better food service/ etiquette. People come to enjoy the food, not to feel pressured with a bitter attitude. Thank you! read more

This place is amazing! Food was overall great all around. We ordered the beef curry omelette, crab cake Benedict, and the Japanese pancake souffle with strawberries. Beef curry was nothing special, but still delicious! The crab cake Benedict was amazing. Everything was made perfectly and the crab cakes themselves were so crabby - they didn't shy on using crab meat! The Japanese pancake with strawberries was a good experience as well. It was my first time having this type of pancake and I had no expectations but it was delicious. The strawberries they used were also sweet and not overripe.
