Spicy Fish Tacos
Ebony G.

Went on a Thursday morning and ordered the steamed burger, Caesar wrap, spicy fish tacos, a waffle, and a side of sausage. Overall, I'd give everything a solid 8/10, except for the spicy fish tacos. The sauce on the side was really bland and mostly tasted like crushed tomatoes, and the tacos themselves just didn't do it for me. They were the only thing I had to force myself to finish. The customer service was friendly, we enjoyed eating outside, and the rest of the food was tasty enough that I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Every place has a miss now and then, so I'm looking forward to giving them another shot.

Mira Vees Pancakes with Wild Blueberry
Jennifer N.

Came here on a Saturday around 9:45 a.m., so it wasn't too busy yet. We sat outside and had a great experience. Service was quick, our server was attentive, and our food came out pretty fast. The wild blueberry pancakes were fluffy and had just the right amount of blueberries. The chilaquiles were flavorful, and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly. I only wish the tortilla chips had stayed a little crunchier instead of getting soft in the sauce. Overall, we really enjoyed our breakfast and would definitely come back again.

Country Fried Steak
Diana Z.

Are you in the mood for some delicious chilaquiles or country fried steak? Look no further because Mari Vees is the place to be. The food quality and quantity surpassed my expectations. The service was quick since we did get there at 8 am but the food quality didn't lack based on the quick service. I'm excited to come back and try their matcha/chicken Cesar salad wrap. (Street parking available but limited)

Had breakfast here for the first time and I absolutely loved everything about this cute little cafe. They serve a variety of dishes that are generously portioned. Our favorite was their blueberry French toast and huevo rancheros. The cherry on top was the service. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The background music was just right for a beautiful Sunday morning. They have an outdoor patio as well and parking is plenty. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

My pistachio latte
Ann C.

My aunt and I were looking for a new lunch spot and we totally found it here at Mari Vees. We came around 9:45 on a Thursday morning and there was no wait. We chose to sit inside, but they also have patio seating as well. We quickly ordered their My pistachio latte and cafe latte. The Cafe latte came out really hot (which is what we wanted) but my pistachio latte was lukewarm and it had more of a Matcha flavor to it than pistachio. Both looked so cute and tasted good but I preferred their cafe latte. My aunt ordered their American Breakfast and I ordered their Good Morning Omelette (basically build your own omelette). Their dishes were really good, especially their home fries. My aunts eggs and bacon came out perfect. My omelette tasted really fresh with lots of fresh veggies, like spinach, mushrooms, and ham. The only hiccup that we had was that the food took almost an hour to come out. I think they had an issue with the ticket, and didn't get put in so it came out way later. Our waiter Fabian was very apologetic and gave us a discount on our bill. Because of the friendly service and the good food, we will definitely be back to try other items.

Menu (May 2026)
Brian F.

Mari Vees is a brunch and lunch spot located in San Marino. They don't take reservations and there was a bit of a wait on the weekend so we eventually decided to split our group of four so we could get seated and eating sooner. They serve your classic American breakfast fare like waffles and pancakes but also serve other breakfast foods like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and loco moco. I ordered the champ ($25) which was a massive burger containing beef, cheddar, bacon, pastrami, and avocado. Note that it also comes with a lot of mustard; fortunately I didn't mind but it was a surprising amount if you're not a fan of it. I also tried and liked the breakfast burrito ($20). They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's some street parking just outside. I don't know if I was just hungry but everything on the menu looked good so I'll have to come by to try their other offerings.

Impossible Smash Burger
Kara S.

Such an amazing find!! My daughter has been to Mari Vees before and was craving their chicken ceasar salad wrap. She asked if we can go so we went around 1pm on a Saturday before her eye appt. Cute family owned shop and the wait wasn't long at all. We waited no more than 10 mins. I ordered the impossible smash burger and the hubby got the country fried steak with a banana walnut pancake. I wish I asked for extra vanilla in my vanilla latte but the art... perfection. Would come back again. Especially to try the chicken and waffles :)

Overcooked "poached" eggs Benedict
Jhenny R.

This is different than my usual reviews, as I'd much rather elevate businesses and support their growth rather than point out the negatives. But this one deserves a bit more detail for the 3 stars. We came here at my husband's cravings for eggs Benedict for his birthday brunch. It was a Saturday around 1PM. There were crowds, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. I will say they seemed well staffed, which made service feel prompt and welcomed. Everyone in the team appeared friendly. The person who made our lattes also made an effort to clarify our order (lattes with Oatmilk with cream foam - which u know can be confusing. I'm giving up whole milk for the fats and lactose, but a little bit of cream won't hurt). We chose Mari Vees over other nearby spots mainly because of the style and ambiance, which truly delivered... beautiful, modern, and inviting on Yelp. We ordered the iced Spanish latte, iced matcha latte, classic eggs Benedict, and chilaquiles with beef. As soon as the plates landed on our table, before we even had a chance to taste anything, a well-dressed gentleman (who seemed more senior than the rest of the staff) came over and asked how everything was. We felt compelled to give the automatic "everything is good." To be fair, the flavors did hit the spot. The lattes were yummy (and shoutout to the cute aesthetics), the chilaquiles were perfectly savory, and the sauce on the eggs Benedict was rich and creamy. However, the reason this lands at 3 stars is the eggs Benedict itself. The poached eggs were overcooked. Poached eggs should be runny and creamy, not firm. We brought this up to our server, Jeremiah, but he responded that it was "poached hard." I was confused... was that intentional? I checked the menu again (good thing I take pictures), and it simply says "poached eggs." Later, when we were paying, the same gentleman returned, who I inquired and learned goes by the name, Victor. This time, he didn't ask about our experience, but I knew I had to say something. I shared praise along with a lighthearted and humorous question about the overcooked eggs. He admitted they should be runny and said "we should have told them"... BUT WE DID! I debated addressing it in person versus sharing here on Yelp. Unfortunately, it felt like the team wasn't equipped to properly handle feedback. Instead of acknowledging the issue, we felt dismissed and gaslighted. I still gave a 18% tip (our total was $60+) , slight lower than our usual 20%... but I know everyone works hard in there. Overall, it had the potential to be a great experience, but the mishap left a sour note and pretty much ruined our afternoon. Not sure we'll be back.

Eggs made with mainly oil? Flavorless
Kristen M.

The service was great and the ambiance was lovely. My waffle was good, they syrup was a highlight, and the berries were sweet and fresh. But everything was made with subpar ingredients. The whipped cream was oil based and not at all delicious. The hot chocolate I ordered was made by a machine, and tasted mostly of water and the aforementioned oily whipped cream. It was cute but not tasty. My eggs seemed fake as well, very oily and bland. My friend ordered an omelet and reported that the sausage tasted odd. The egg was prepared like a tortilla and the long list of vegetables were just slapped inside instead of incorporated into the dish. She ordered a pancake because the omelet was such a disappointment I'm longing for a good pancake place with really butter. This is not the place.

Lisa N.

Surprisingly easy to get a walk-in table for our larger group on a Saturday morning during brunch. So props for that. However, taking a star off for the awkward bathroom experience- you have to meander through the kitchen and it's in the back by the dishwasher. Food was okay- my husband liked his big burger. My tomato soup was okay- didn't know if it was house made? And my sister thought the chilaquiles was too soggy.

Chilaquiles
Neha N.

Of all the food I had in LA during my quick 3-day trip, Mari Vees was my favorite. Charming little restaurant in Pasadena that has that Spanish architecture and aesthetic. Our waitress was very friendly and checked in on us often. I was debating between chilaquiles and the banana walnut pancakes so she suggested I get a single pancake and the chilaquiles. I decided to try chilaquiles for the first time finally! It is something I have wanted to try for a long time but wanted to find a place that specializes in it, and seeing that it was the most photographed entree on yelp, I knew I was in for a treat! It was so good I let out an "mmm" my first few bites. The tortilla chips weren't soggy and retained some crunch despite being drenched in delicious sauce. Love the drizzle of sour cream and I think crumbles of queso fresco on top. The fresh avocado and onion paired perfectly as well, as did the runny egg yolk. If I lived in the area I'd be back all the time. The banana walnut pancake was deliciousss, I absolutely loved the maple butter it came with. There was banana and walnut pieces in the pancake batter as well as on top. So good. Finally, I loved my refreshing Iced Spanish Latte. The cream foam on top with cinnamon gave it a powerful finish. Nice and sweet as I like it thanks to the condensed milk :)

Brunch Menu
Julia H.

Hubby & I have really been enjoying Mari Vees! Weekend brunch/lunch time can get quite crowded and wait times may be over 30 mins., so just be prepared as they do have a sign-in sheet waitlist that is pretty much first-come-first-serve. Portions here are big & prices are standard/reasonable as any other brunch/lunch place in the area. Both indoor & outdoor seating is available. Restaurant inside is clean and bright. They have a board on the wall with their specials (not sure how often they change). Hubby has enjoyed their "Champ" Burger (comes with a basket of Fries) & Breakfast Burrito (comes with Chips & salsa). I'm a big fan of their Chilaquiles (added beef/steak) because they do a great job soaking the chips in their salsa rojo. (My only small gripe is I wish they had some pickled veggies with it to make it really the best I've ever had, lol). Their Mari Vees Omelet was fluffy & filling, would recommend as well. Hubby really wishes they would have just a pastrami sandwich/burger available from the pastrami of "The Champ!!" burger and I agree. The burger is filling, but can get a little messy. We had bites of just the pastrami and it is *chef's kiss* so we can only imagine if it was on its own in a sandwich that it'd be quite good as well! All the coffee I've tried so far has been good. Their Iced Spanish Latte is refreshing if it's warm out & their Mocha (mix it, even if you ruin the cute foam stamp) is a cinnamon-ey chocolately warm coffee for those chillier days. One unisex restroom available Parking is limited to street parking on Huntington Dr. or nearby neighborhood cross streets (i.e. San Marino Ave.) if you don't mind the walk.

Blueberry pancakes
Mercedes R.

Amazing find. I must've passed this place a million times but never noticed it. I'm glad my sister recommended it for our sister date. Decent prices, delicious food and coffee, and a super friendly staff. Definitely try the blueberry French toast. It was my favorite part.

Unfortunately, the black tea tapiochi was a bit of a letdown. I was hoping for a more pronounced tea flavor, but I couldn't detect any tea notes at all. It was a little too sweet for my liking. My daughter ordered the Popcorn Milk Tea with brown sugar tapiochi. I took a sip and could taste a subtle hint of popcorn, which was definitely interesting and unique. However, I found it a bit too sweet for my taste. That said, this is probably more of a personal preference, as I generally gravitate toward simpler, less sweet drinks rather than overly complex flavor combinations. Staff was extremely friendly and patient with me while I took my time to decide what k want to order. They had samples for us to try which was very much appreciated. Overall, I really enjoyed the Calamansi Oolong Tea and appreciated the creativity behind their menu. I just wish the tapiochi had a more distinct tea flavor and wasn't quite so sweet. I'd definitely consider coming back for the calamansi oolong.

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy.

You see a fun selection of Indonesian / Malaysian desserts as you get to the counter, and their drink options are unique and plentiful. We tried two of their artisanal kopi, Kopi Susu and The Putu and tried the Putu Ayu dessert. The drinks were absolutely incredible! The flavour combination and sweetness level of The Putu was perfect. I love that the bold delicious espresso came through, it wasn't overpowered by the sugar, pandan flavour or coconut cream. The drink wasn't too heavy or creamy, it was just so well balanced it left me wanting more! The Putu Ayu however was just alright. The cake flavours were fine, but it was just a bit dry for my taste. Highly recommend coming by to check this place out! Knowing how good their coffee is, I really want to come back for a pour over. Thanks for a great time!

Pistachio Cream Top Latte 4/5 Liked it slightly better than the black sesame cream top. Black Sesame Cream Top Latte 4/5 It's alright/fine. Sounded good. Hot Latte 4/5 Fine. Nothing special or bad. Kinda ordinary, but serves its purpose as a simple hot latte.
