1/07/22 Getting breakfast for tomorrow. Veggie Benedict ordered. Avocado added. Bread Pudding French Toast ordered to go with it. A double. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I went in to get it. Cute, little restaurant. Funky & cool. Safe and clean. The worker was very nice. Paid for the order and she went to check on it. Brought it out shortly later. The worker was great and wished a good day! Happy Sunday everyone! Breakfast split. My half of the Veggie Benedict was Great! Tasty veggies with the egg and avocado! Great Hollandaise sauce! FLAVORFUL! Love the mushrooms too! The French toast bread pudding was the best! DELICIOUS! Thick pieces of French toast and the bread pudding sauce was fantastic! Nice topping too! Flavorful! Really Great breakfast! I'm sure mother will enjoy her half when she wakes up to have it. Great service too! Highly recommended! read more

I was looking for a local place to eat while exchanging some tickets at Chukchansi Park nearby and I found Libelula on this app. I was intrigued by the menu and decided to give it a try. I invited a friend because lunch is always better with a friend. He ordered the bone marrow beef stroganoff and I ordered the grinder sandwich. My friend said the stroganoff was fantastic and also liked his Thai tea he got. My grinder sandwich was good but missing something in my opinion. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The tater tots were super crispy and stayed crispy all the way through lunch. My friend and I had a hard time choosing what to get because so many things on the menu sounded awesome. The only downside for me was that it was a bit loud and echoing inside to have and easy conversation with someone. That is not a knock on the establishment at all. It is definitely a fun vibe but I did have a hard time hearing my friend. There is outdoor seating that would have solved that problem but it was a triple digit day the day we went so I chose not to eat outside. 5 stars, can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes. read more

Stumbled upon this gem when I was looking for some lunch after jury duty. It's in a interesting location but once you find it you'll see patio seating outside. The establishment isn't big but has seatings from 2 people to 5-6 people per table. Love how eclectic the wall is. I ordered the Big A$$ burrito which I'm so happy I did. This burrito is no ordinary burrito, no no it's your burrito 2.0. I absolutely loved it! So compliments to the chef. The burrito has tator tots, mushroom, cauliflower, cheese, and many more elements in it. Every bite was like a new surprise. It's definitely a hardy breakfast burrito and it's so good. It comes with a side of their in house made tomato sauce that was AMAZING and sriracha. It paired with the burrito very nicely, a little heat and acid. The people next to me saw how much I enjoyed it and even asked me what I ordered. It's gonna be hard for me to order anything else there. The staff was sweet and attentive to me. I was checked up on a few times. I cannot wait to bring my husband here, food is best when enjoyed together with people you love! read more

Location- In downtown, next to The Crest Theater. I live in Tower so I love that this place is close by my house. It has been on my bookmarks for awhile and I really want to try the brunch here. Atmosphere- Quaint, mom and pop type, quirky which matches the owners' personalities, random art pieces, a little cold during the winter, icecream parlor chairs, retro style tables and booths. Definitely different from the industrial and farmhouse architecture Service- Great! Food- I got their special meatloaf burger which comes with tater tots and housemade ketchup. I finished every bite. I want to try their cinnamon rolls. The bread was so good. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the meatloaf burger is literally what you think it is, a delicious meatloaf as a burger. Ketchup is house made. I would like to return to try brunch and their cinnamon rolls. Price- Most of the items were under $20, not cheap, but not crazy expensive. You get what you pay for. read more

Delicious food depending what you get! A little pricey. I loved the curry chicken tacos 5/5! The brussel sprouts were good too, just a little creamy for me since I prefer crispier brussels. The waiter did take a while getting to us. We arrived before the other two parties so I'm not sure if she had forgotten about us or something, but it took a while to finally order then get our food. That was the only con, waiting so much. She seemed friendly though. read more

The food was delicious I was really impressed by the amount of food given especially for the price. Our server with the pink hair was sweet and kept checking on us to make sure if we needed anything. The atmosphere is a vibe that's for sure it's definitely not for everyone. It's super old skool with the bench's from old diners. I do wish there were more drinks that were offered it's a very small menu which helps when choosing something they do have gluten free options available as well if you're a vegetarian or vegan. I will be going back that's for sure. Up next is trying out the bakery they have going on in the morning. read more

Great food! Cool place! We stopped by on our way through Fresno, it was pretty easy to get to just off 99. The food was great, I had the special habanero pork sandwich and my wife had one of the benedicts. Both were great. The tater tots were awesome, with home-made ketchup. I was a little worried about the heat level of the sandwich but it was balanced. I also really enjoyed the art on the wall and the punk music. No way I wouldn't eat there again. read more

For drinks we ordered the non alcoholic specialty drink which I believe was a strawberry spritz and I liked it because it was not too sweet and very refreshing! For brunch we had the veggie polenta and the eggs Benedict with pork. The veggie polenta was easily the highlight of our visit as the polenta was flavorful and went well with the vegetables on the side. The pork in the eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly and the eggs were poached to my liking as well. Service was great even though it was busy that day and we were able to get some to go boxes as well for whatever we didn't finish. I loved the decorations nd set up of the whole place! It was very retro and there was so much artwork on the walls to look at. There's also a bakery right next door too to check out after eating here! Would definitely go again to try other items on the menu! read more

I was talking to my sister on the phone and she said one of her friends recommended this place for lunch. It was this past Saturday and they had a sign up they were closing at 1:30pm. It was a little past 1pm when we arrived but they assured us it was not a problem. My girlfriend and I split the Libelula Burger because we had been appetizer hopping around the city prior to coming in for lunch. The burger was HUGE! It was perfectley cooked medium which I appreciated oh so much! Everything on the burger tasted so fresh even down to the roll. The ambiance and decor that this place had was so freaking unique. I loved it!! I wanted to purchase some off the wall but didn't think that was a thing haha. Oh, and when your done eating, go next door! They have a little bakery connected!! read more

The food was ok not worth the 4 stars it has it. The inside was giving weird vibes the music that they were playing was cutting out also the names of some of there foods had bad words in it and the bakery in side was named a bad word read more

As a new resident of Fresno, this was a wonderful introduction to some of the gems around town. Super cute spot! I ordered the summer tomato grilled cheese in hopes of something easy to enjoy and it was just that and more. Our server Kim was super friendly and answered all my questions fully. Highly recommend! read more

The menu was definitely unique, but I chose this sandwich to try. It was good but it definitely could use more of a tangy sweet flavor to it. The tater tots were really good!!! Overall not a bad place just a very different menu and very spicy. My bf got the breakfast burrito and I nearly cried at how spicy it was, but I'm a baby when it comes to spice. I will definitely come back and try something different. read more

Libelula - Sriracha Maple Chicken Sandwich & Tater Tots - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fresno, California

Went in for lunch. Hostess asked us where we'd like to sit. We chose a table, were seated, our orders taken and beverages served. AFTER we'd been sitting for about 20 minutes, just before our food was served, a woman with pink hair demanded that we move to a much smaller table when we declined to move, she insisted that we move. We chose to leave instead and give our business to another establishment. If they wanted us at a certain table the hostess should not have asked us where we wanted to sit. The woman with the pink hair was harsh and demanding. The level of rudeness by the woman was shocking. I would not go back. read more

Coming home from Yosemite, we decided to stop here to eat. I am so glad that we did. Being mostly vegan, there were a ton of options for me to eat. The staff and ambience was great. The location is a bit odd but worth the stop and the sit down. We shared the fried green tomatoes (which are hard to find and when you do they're usually not good) Not in this case. They were absolutely fantastic! I ended up ordering the vegan Benny but I swapped out the English muffin for the homemade buttermilk biscuit. It was so incredible that I want to stop and eat there any and every time that we drive through. read more

I'm embarrassed for hating I finally got around to having a meal here recently. I heard from coworkers how good it is and I live in downtown but finally got a chance to have lunch here! Yes it's a tiny little place but there is room inside and outside for a meal. We got a meter parking spot also across the street so parking was ok....but I have to say that our sandwiches were delicious! We had Mexican cokes and ordered the Beef sandwich with bone broth and my spouse had the one with kimchi inside and both were good. Also they came wrapped for easy and clean hold while eating...thank you!!! Anyhow we will be back now to try breakfast and more!!! See u soon! read more

This place has amazing flavor profile. The Curry Tacos and Bulgogi Mushroom Tacos are to die for. Flavor pops with every bite. I also love their refresco fruit drinks! It's slightly difficult to get into this place and park, but worth the effort for the unique food! read more

Libelula - Korean Mushroom Bulgolgi Tacos vegan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fresno, California

Food was amazing... BUT Their menu has items that are highlighted. We asked the waitress what that meant, and she said the highlighted items are gluten free. My sister ordered one of the burritos specifically because it was highlighted as GF and she gets violently ill when she eats gluten. Half way through eating it, she realized the burrito might not be GF so we asked the waitress again to confirm and she then said, you have to specify that you would like it GF and they can make it into a burrito bowl. Fast forward a few hours later and my sister became violently ill and had a terrible rash. PLEASE do NOT call something GF when the menu item you have described is not. Clearly stating that a GF option of the menu item was available would have been greatly appreciated. To note, my sister said it tasted better going down than it did back up so there's that. read more

I like the place I like the vibe I like what it is about but....I do admit I do not fully understand the inner workings and what the process of pricing dishes is but I felt I didn't fully get the wow factor or satisfaction the price that I paid and was looking for I hope this is constructive criticism.... I ordered the bone marrow stroganoff which was good but very heavy and rich and the most disappointing part of it it didn't come with the cut bone and marrow which was advertised it kind of ruined it ...actually it really ruined it for me ..if it was not available then 86 it from the menu..hope the best for you but probably not coming back or recommending read more

Some of the most creative dishes in town! I love their unique burgers! Nice place for a team @ lunch downtown fresno. read more

Adding a star because I've witnessed improvements. With COVID they have now implemented outdoor seating which they should've done from the get go. We were seated promptly and service was so much faster than before ! Last time I waited an eternity for my food. Today it came out quickly. The burger was better than anticipated. A burger is a burger but it was high quality meat and cheese that really stood out for me. In addition to that, the burger was comprised of homemade Dijon spread and crunchy pickles on a brioche bun....yum! It wasn't greasy at all. The tots were so fresh and crispy. The homemade ketchup is unique -kind of a curry taste to it. I like it, but I would still prefer regular ketchup. We asked for ranch and the server stated they do not offer that. The chicken biscuit was good. The chicken was juicy and crisp without being burnt however, the dish was quite heavy and too greasy for my liking. I would probably skip it next time. Menu is hit or miss for me but the burger and prompt service will warrant another visit in the future. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast location in Fresno. I usually order either the Eggs Benedict with pork or Chicken and Biscuits. Even the catsup is house made, so try the deep fried tater tots! (I'm not a catsup person but I do enjoy theirs) I especially like that everything is fresh and local. The cinnamon rolls are huge, so plan on splitting one with a group of friends and remember to order the aqua fesqua with your food. Once you see the menu, you'll be back to try as many delicious dishes as you can! read more

Libelula - Eggs Benedict with pulled pork... Remember to order a side of tater tots! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fresno, California

Libelula is my new favorite restaurant. I would eat here every day, if I could. I've picked up desserts to go a couple times - a few creative beignets and banana bread, which were good. Then a few weeks ago, a friend and I came for lunch. It's COVID-19 days, so right now (August 2020), it's patio-only. Fortunately for Libelula, they have a good amount of sidewalk space in front of their door, so it works for them - they're able to fit around six tables. They aren't doing reservations so you check in when you arrive. We arrived around 12:30 and all tables were full, we waited around 20 minutes which was long but we just chatted and food-watched lol Despite the wait - it's not food to be rushed through - service was great. We were checked in on several times and request for extra napkins were quickly brought out. I wanted to get the biscuit or the chicken sandwich because they looked delicious on other people's plates. But, we both ordered the charred corn ravioli. Normally I would not order pasta but it's handmade and I didn't want to be jealous of her plate. IT WAS DELICIOUS, no regrets whatsoever. There was a parmesan crisp at the top which was pretty but functional - a bite of parm chip with a bite of ravioli was divine. Also, there was a wedge of lime, which I thought was odd. But I squeezed a bit onto a corner of my plate and it was good! The citrus cut through the rich sauce - the little wedge was enough for just a spritz throughout the plate. This chef is kind of a genius. We also ordered the cruffin (cross between croissant and muffin) stuffed with sweet mascarpone and sitting in a beautiful pink chocolate - a piece of art, really. And soooo yummy. Yesterday we came for breakfast. They have their full menu all day. I loveee that. I ordered the parm crusted bacon lettuce and pluot sandwich with tots and homemade catsup. That catsup is everything - my whole review could be on it - it's got a bit of sweetness, but there's an umami-ness that comes through and it's thicker than store bought, but is not a negative while eating with the tots. Chef, please bottle your catsup! My sammy was delicious but I only ate half of it because dessert. They had cruffins again but filled with strawberry and ricotta cream dipped in dark chocolate and sitting on a literal hand drawn tree in chocolate. There were little currants dotted around the tree. A bite of cruffin with a currant was heaven. Yes, you need to try it, you really do. Oh and the house waters! Every day they make a different "water." Yesterday was stone fruit and basil - refreshing and not too sweet. I always drink plain water because drinks are too sweet, but these are just perfect. (I've taken them to go and added gin later. Oh, yes.) I hope I get to get through Libelula's creative menu - I don't see how when they have such tempting daily specials. I love that every single thing on the plate is thoughtfully placed and adds to the plate, not a decoration. Please, please, I hope everyone tries Libelula and they thrive for many years. read more

Loved this gem! Great food and service. Loved the menu options and the cheeseburger and tots were perfect!

This place was bomb!! We had a GIANT cinnamon roll, chilla killa burrito and curry chicken tacos. The tacos were hands down our favorite choice but everything was so delicious. Easy to park, friendly service, cool music and vibes inside. We will definitely come back to this spot every time we're in Fresno. Also super close to highway 99 if you're road tripping! read more

The bathroom is the only bad news about this place. The decor is random & cheap but interesting enough. All that aside the food is down right amazing!

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. My boyfriend got the French toast, which was good but came with absolutely no side which sucked especially for the price & we had to ask for everything, syrup, utensils , napkins, refills, etc. nobody really checked on us. I got the burrito which was good just super greasy & I've definitely had better tbh. Biggest disappointment was the coffee lol, for $5 I expect a good coffee!! But coffee was super watery, they need to make stronger or choose a better coffee.! read more

The chef is a genius! The fusion of food is rare to find in Fresno. But they have it. If you are a foodie and you have a multi taste pellet,then go. People who like bland and simplicity stay your a** home. You gotta know your taste palette in order to enjoy what the chef creates. It's not for a fast eater looking to JUST chow down per se it's for people who like to enjoy the flavors immerse in their mouth. Ambiance is inclusive and the vibe is eclectic. Vegetarian and vegan friendly and those dishes aren't like what every other lame restaurant serves. They are actually good. read more

I want to love this place but just don't. The food is ok, the service leaves a lot to be desired and the prices are a bit steep. I've tried their Thai Mac n Cheese, mushroom sliders and Big Dill Chicken Sandwich. The only dish that was good enough to reorder was the Thai Mac n Cheese. The mushroom and chicken sandwiches were unremarkable and I would not order them again. On my most recent visit, we were served drinks promptly but then had to wait almost 20 mins for our food. I don't mind waiting for quality food but it was not hot or fresh when it arrived at the table. I've never received fresh, hot food from this restaurant. The food is typically lukewarm. The server was fine in that she did the bare minimum but was not friendly or welcoming. read more

This restaurant is located downtown. I'm going to start off right away, it IS a bit pricey for downtown, and for lunch. However, the food and feel of the place justifies the prices. I ordered the Sriracha Maple Chicken Sandwich and tater tots. This sandwich is large and delicious! I placed my order online for pick up through door dash. The sandwich and tots were $17. I also purchased an agua fresca for $4. The meal was pricy, but delicious. The music and art is loud and fun. They have fun stickers and the whole vibe is just very "cool." Great spot for a lunch downtown with a friend. read more

I've been dying to try out new places in Fresno/Clovis and Libelula had such great reviews that I decided to pop in. Let's start with location. Honestly I had a little trouble finding this spot as it is pretty tiny, and I think you have to pay to park at the meters. On the other hand, the inside is cozy, decorated well, and our server was kind. For our appetizer, we got the Saucy Tots. They were okay (extremely salty) but I thought that tater tots with a bunch of toppings for $14 was insane. I also got the Pickle Bacon Grilled Cheese-- it was very tasty but the excessive amount of oil/butter threw me off. read more

Super cute, super unique. Everything on the menu looked delicious (including the Vegetarian & Vegan menu). Not to mention the baked goods. (Which btw they're in the process of building a bakery which will be located inside as well). We came for brunch, was our first time here... we tried the Saucy tatter tots with (choice of sauce), ours had country gravy which came with an egg on top. It was delicious, loved he country gravy (had a really good flavor). I asked for extra gravy (for an extra charge) but by the time it came out we were done eating (kinda bummed about that as there was no communication from the server about it taking so long, had I known, I wouldn't of asked for it) but since I paid for it I took that delicious stuff home to put on something else later. We also tried the Eggs Benedict which came with oven roasted pork, and said it came with roasted garlic hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise sauce was more like an aioli type sauce consistency and had a very vinegary taste and tasted more like a tabasco flavor (yuck) and the pork was kinda cold... I don't know if it was supposed to be that way but with that being said, that menu item we didn't care for. However, I am looking forward to coming back and trying different things on the menu, especially the bread pudding French toast made out of cinnamon rolls. (YUM)! And I can't wait for the bakery to open... overall totally loved the place! Unique and felt like down home cooked food. read more

Its a great place for vegetarians! The food is very eclectic with lots of eastern meets western fusion. Everything we ordered was so tasty and different. I had the strawberry pasta. The mozzarella was so creamy fresh that its still creamy when you cut it open. The sweetness of the strawberry complimented the vinegary sauce. My hubby couldn't keep his fork out of my plate. He ordered the mushroom bulgogi tacos. It was pretty packed with flavor. We also had the strawberry nachos. The chives and herbs goat cheese went well with the strawberry salsa. The interior decorations was very artsy and a bit wiccan. Very cozy! read more

It's was definitely a nifty little stop on the way to Yosemite. This place exudes a unique art house feel that boasts a small cafe environment. The food caters to brunch-esque foods. I had the fried chicken biscuit with tater tots. The fried chicken biscuit was pretty good but the lack of any variety aside from the chicken and biscuit made it a little tiring towards the end, but it was still good. I have to say though that the tater tots were so good! Perfect crunch and flavor made it a joy to continually eat. I like that they have an abundance of tots! Overall this place is a nice place to dine if you're stopping or passing through Fresno! read more

I was so excited to finally try this place! They have a really interesting menu with lots of favorites and some twists on classics. You can tell this is a passion project. Many of the items on the menu can be made vegetarian or vegan and it's all clearly marked on the menu. I came by with Steph Y who was visiting town and we nabbed a seat outside in the sunshine. We decided to split two plates - the mushroom toast and the lamb sliders. The mushroom toast was delicious, nice crisp sourdough with perfectly cooked mushrooms and a nice truffle gravy. It was lightened a little by some herbs and topped off with a fried egg. Perfect breakfast. It's the kind of thing I'd make at home if I weren't so lazy, so I'd definitely return for that. We also shared the lamb sliders, which come with a side of hot and crispy tots. The sliders were pretty good but quite small, especially for the price. The lamb was tender and delicious, I wanted more of it. The bun is very sweet, verging on overpowering for me to be honest. I liked the sauce they put on there though. Very cool spot and I'm looking forward to trying more! read more
