We stumbled upon this gem in the heart of San Fernando in mid-February, and I'm glad we did. It's truly a family-friendly spot with plenty of street parking. The space is large and open, with lots of tables that can accommodate different party sizes, and the music set a nice, relaxed vibe. The food was great. We tried the crunchy French toast topped with banana, Nutella, and strawberries -- BOMB. We also ordered the breakfast sausage bagel, which was satisfying and perfect if you want something filling without being too heavy. The orange juice tasted fresh, which is always a plus. The only thing I'd suggest improving is the coffee -- unfortunately, it wasn't great. Service-wise, the staff was friendly and organized. Each waitress handled her own section, and everything from the tables to the floors was clean. As for pricing: tip was not included (as of Feb 2026). We paid $44 for two breakfasts and two drinks, which feels fair for the current market. Will I come back? YES. read more

I don't usually write reviews like this, but this experience earned one. We spent $53 on six desserts -- a lemon bar, apple bar, churro, tiramisu, a slice of Godiva cake, and carrot cake -- and five out of five people agreed: almost everything was inedible. The only items that didn't end up in the trash were the churro and the tiramisu. Everything else was dry, stale, or hard enough to make you question how long it had been sitting there. The lemon bar and apple bar tasted like they'd been aging in a display case for days. The cakes were so dry they practically crumbled into dust. Freshness clearly isn't a priority here, which honestly isn't surprising when the menu looks like a novel. When a place tries to offer a hundred different desserts, quality is usually the first thing to go. For a bakery/dessert shop, freshness is the bare minimum. Charging premium prices for what tasted like leftovers is unacceptable. We were excited to treat ourselves -- instead, we threw most of it away. Save your money. There are plenty of places that actually bake fresh desserts and don't rely on an overloaded menu to hide declining quality. read more

The ambiance is open and cozy with industrial vibes. Right out the gate, U Crave lives up to its core concept--you'll find something here for just about any craving. It's truly a one-stop shop, offering a wide range of options: BBQ, artisan sandwiches, salads, sides, desserts, coffee, soups of the day, pasta, burgers, and flexible vegetarian choices. If you're new, note that it's a semi-self-serve setup. You order at the register and they'll bring the food to your table, but water and to-go containers are self-serve. The staff seemed a bit impatient when I didn't immediately catch on--cue the lingering "duh" look --but nothing deal-breaking. My go-to order so far is the fried chicken panini with a large side of potato salad for about $3 extra, which is honestly a solid deal. As a self-proclaimed condiment queen, this place passed the test. The chipotle sauce and garlic pesto are chef's kiss--absolutely delicious. The only real caveat is parking, which can be tricky depending on the time of day. There is outdoor seating available, though it's not the best spot if you're looking to study or work. Overall, a great casual spot with variety, value, and flavor. read more

Enjoyed my dining experience here! I ordered the Cali Benedict and iced honey vanilla latte half sweet. Both were great. They have a huge menu and am eager to try this spot out again to try their different items. Service was quick and plenty of seating the time I ate here. There's parking along the street as well, I believe there's a lot nearby but I got lucky with a street spot. Would recommend! read more

I came to Crave Café thinking that my friends were going to take me to a place where it's dull like a normal breakfast place, but I was also impressed by receiving the food and just having the waiter named Lily and James attending to us like we're royalty.

Nice "self serve" restaurant (buy food, seat yourself and they will bring food to you. Especially nice because they opened for LONG hours. Very comfortable environment with couches and tables. Amazing menu with all day breakfasts, sandwich, salad, taco, pancake, crepe etc etc. Very reasonable price. Saw a lot so different kind of people here, families, students, and friends just gathered. We tried the fish taco and shrimp taco. Both excellent and fresh. Would recommend this place to people that happen to be in that neighborhood. read more

With the menu being the brightest you'll ever see a menu be, you'd think that the food wouldn't be as great or the portions might not be as big. I've been here a couple of times and every time I visit I am genuinely surprised!! Everything I've had here is amazing, my most recent visit being my favorite. I had no idea that the club sandwich would be so big!!! Haha I took the leftovers home and had food for the entire day. The chocolate cake dessert blew me away, if you're a huge chocolate lover you're going to find this so delicious! The matcha latte with oat milk was also so yummy! I definitely recommend any of their sandwiches and paninis the most, they're so filling and flavorful with fresh ingredients always. The service has always been nice here, no issues ever and they'll answer any questions you have without hesitation. Thank you for having me :) read more

It been a while since I came to this UCrave location but since my wife and I was in the area, she was craving some crepes. We were lucky to find street parking just down the block so we walk to this place. I had to use the bathroom and my wife was craving crepes so it all worked out. They were not busy at all when we came, so I was able to just walk to the counter to place our order. I asked for the Nutella and powder sugar to be on the side because they tend to put a lot on or in the crepe. The men bathroom here is very dark since the light is very dim so be aware. They made the strawberry crepes quick and we took it home to eat it. The crepes was very good and the strawberry was delicious. read more

This cafe is adorable! They have a large menu with a different variety of things to choose from. We stopped in for brunch and it was really yummy! They are a little on the pricey side, this whole meal was about $65 with out tip included. They are a small business though so I can understand. Their service is pretty good and the girls that helped us were very nice. The vibes are very relaxed in here, you could work remotely or join a friend for a lunch date. I would recommend. read more

Ok atmosphere is inviting. We had the burger special which was dry not flavorful and the bun was burnt. We also had the wings and waffles. The wings were perfect but would have been better without the breading. The waffle was under cooked and doughy. Coffee was good and hot. Maybe I'll try it one more time read more

I went here for dinner with some friends. There was a lot of street parking outside the place which was really nice. The restaurant was spacious and it's where you order and then seat yourself. The menu was so long so there is a variety of food to choose from. I got the fish tacos and it was decent. It had a sweet flavor to it prob from the red cabbage so I wish I didn't get it. I wish I got something else but I wouldn't mind coming back since there was a variety of food. read more

The service is was great! When we arrived we were the first ones there and were able to get a nice view of the rainy day. The menu is pretty big but it's organized by sections which helps a lot. Me and my husband ordered the breakfast burrito and steak with eggs. The food came fast and was very delicious. To drink we did have a hot chocolate and a latte. Would definitely come back for brunch to try the mimosas they were promoting! read more

U Crave - Steak and eggs Burrito - Burgers Near Me - San Fernando, California

UCRAVE CAFE AND GRILL is great for brunch! Went with the sisters and it was awesome! Food selection is big. Everything we ordered was delicious. Chilaquiles had an extra layer of flavor that I can't ID. Cheese Crepe is solid if you want to play it safe. Chorizo Burrito was massive and more than enough for two people for breakfast. They have an extensive Mimosa menu so we ordered two different flavors. Half of us preferred the cucumber, the other half preferred the pineapple flavored one. Staff are friendly and helpful. Space is large and could accommodate large groups. There is a parking lot in the back but it gets full. Metered parking is available in the surrounding sreets. Must visit again to try the other items on the menu. read more

I believe this is from the people who brought you crave in Studio City and Sherman Oaks, or it's a knock off... I'm not sure but the type of food is very similar... Good cafe vibes, a HUGE menu so there's something for everyone from breakfast, lunch, dinner to smoothies, savories, sweets, coffee, tea... You name it this place has something for everyone. Very casual spot, you order at the counter and grab a number and they deliver over to your table. There's a condiment area to grab your sauces and utensils and water so it's very chill. The people who work here are very friendly too. read more

Best place in San Fernando for brunch! They have an extensive menu which includes brunch-dinner, mimosas, and even boba and desserts. Love the high ceilings and always clean when I come. Only complaints are MENU is quite small, parking is limited, and more workers could be beneficial as tables fill up quickly. No wifi so bring your own hotspot. Negative 1 star because I ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad and was given a Caesar salad instead. But tasted yummy so I didn't complain. Also, tuna melt could include more romaine vs cabbage like greens, otherwise the bread was nice! This is a super staple in San Fernando area :) read more

It took 15 minutes to place an order and 65 minutes to get our food. Order: Deluxe Tuna Panini w/fries 3egg breakfast Iced Coffee Coke $50.79 First- don't call it a Panini when it's a plain simple sandwich. The bread wasn't even toasted. Second- don't explain delays by saying "we're short staffed". If you don't have the staff to efficiently serve clientele then don't open or at least pause the Doordash and Postmates orders temporarily. I still payed the full price ($50) for eggs and a simple sandwich. Even with the long wait, I still had hope for the sandwich... but it ended up tasting bland. Maybe it was the iceberg lettuce, or the fact that I had already downed a large iced coffee by the time I got my food. Incredibly disappointing experience. Which is too bad because I like this place. read more

Had this place on my list time so stopped in for a breakfast meeting. The place is larger than I expected inside and the menu is very extensive and a tad pricey. You place your order at the counter and pick your seat. I ordered the breakfast burrito with a spinach wrap with the potatoes on the side with an orange juice for $25. I enjoy it and the staff were great, It was a little chilly around 10am inside but overall good experience. read more

We were in the area for a small concert at the Midnight Hour record store and after the show we stopped by to grab a quick bite to eat. This is one of a handful of restaurants in the area that stays open late. The menu is extensive and they practically have every food item under the sun. I ordered the classic cheeseburger with a side of upgraded onion rings. The burger was very good and the rings were hot and fresh. It's a bit pricey in comparison to greasy spoon burger spots. read more

U Crave - Classic cheeseburger FEB2025 - Burgers Near Me - San Fernando, California

I had a burger from here about 4 months ago and it was awesome. It came with a very fresh and delicious side salad and burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. I returned yesterday for the same meal and it was awful. They didn't ask how I wanted my burger cooked which was the first sign of something wrong. The burger was dry and the meat tasted different. The bacon was very off and I couldn't eat more than 2 bites before wanting to get sick. The bun was also stale. AND if that wasn't enough, the "spring salad" was a stack of the same lettuce that they put on the burger. I paid $25 for this meal and could have had a much better one at Burger King for half the cost. What happened to the food here? The burger was so good back in September when I first ordered it. I won't be back! read more

The staff were pretty chill. An extensive menu!!! Large portions. Food were all fresh and delicious! I found this place looking for a place to visit my aunt and uncle so I can introduce them to my new pup! This place accommodated at the outside patio. We all had a great time! read more

I called to place a phone order for a Cappuccino. Jen answered the phone and asked me to hold to take my order. She left me on hold for over 11 minutes to the point where I had time to get walk into the store, I still was on hold while already inside the store. I spoke w Jen and just told her that she could have came back to the phone line and said "hey we're really busy right now, I can't take your order" ... and she said "well I'm short staffed" which I completely understand, but it takes 10 seconds to get on the phone and say "I can't take your order, we are busy" ... after I gave her advise about coming back to the line to at least say we're just and can't take your order instead of having me on hold for 11 mins, she became upset and argumentative instead of taking in the constructive criticism. I highly recommend to hire people with good customer service for positions like this. When I got back to work I tried my cappuccino and it was so bitter, so I had to go back and ask for my money back. I spoke to a gentleman who says he was the manager and said they don't do refunds and that he would have to call the owner. The whole encounter and experience here was horrible. read more

If you are looking to eat something, good and satisfying but not very heavy this is your spot. They have great choice of food, drinks, sweet - will satisfy anyone in your group. We had girls day out lunch and it was great, everyone was happy with their choice and food was delicious. They are always busy and sometimes there is a wait time, however, there are some outside sitting and when the weather is nice, it's a beautiful place to go to. We sat outside, (they have additional tables right next to the restaurant on top of the outside sittings right in front of it. We totally loved the food and will be going back soon. read more

Been a local for years now but every visit the service manages to get worse. From 2019 to 2026 the service can be slow and bad. No attentive waiters they don't ask or bring you out as much as they did and kind of clumsy read more

I've eaten here a fair amount, the food is generally decent, and they have a big menu, but it's very slow even when they're slow, so what I've been doing is calling ahead to get the order for take out and get it rolling so I don't wait sitting around for 1/2 an hour till it's done. So I called ahead from the area of Rinaldi/Balbia (app 15 mins away), to try and get that started, was asked if I could hold for a minute and of course I said yes, and continued driving towards them. And kept on driving, waiting on hold. Drove some more, waiting on hold. Driving driving, waiting on hold. Drove all the way there, yep, the whole 15 minutes, still on hold. At this point I'm figuring man, they must be swamped, and I'm kinda bugged that they couldn't have come back for 2 seconds and at least said "hey bud we're slammed and I just don't have time to take your order", you know, at least treat me with a small dot of decency. But nah, that didn't happen, so now bugged, and curious - did they just get slammed, or are they outright crapping on a phone customer, and if so why, the interaction was literally nothing but "can you hold" and "yes". No time for a personality issue, or misunderstanding etc, so how can this be personal? But what else would cause them to do this to a (probably) paying customer. I arrive and park, and the outside seating is empty, so it's not totally slammed, and head in to see what's the deal. I notice the counter phone is off the hook with my red lit call still on hold, there's one person ordering at the counter, a person taking their order, and another bigger guy kinda standing around. Now you can't miss this phone, in fact the receiver is off the base and it's kind of in the way, so the reasonable assumption would be that you'd take care of the call, if for no other reason than to be able to put the receiver back on the base and get it out of the way. I can think of one reason you wouldn't take the call tho, and that is that if you keep that person on hold long enough, then maybe they'll go away and you won't have to do the work, PLUS the phone will likely ring busy for other phone customers, and you won't have to take those orders either (BONUS!). But that would be crappy and definitely poor business, so why do that, right? So I ask the guys "hey guys, that's me on the phone, how did I deserve to be treated so poorly?", to which one said they were busy (not true, they were literally finishing the one ordering person ahead of me, and there were two of them there, on separate registers), and the other mumbled something weird about a problem with the bathroom earlier in the day, as tho that somehow explained putting someone on hold for 15 minutes, and coincidentally blocking all other phone orders while that call was on hold. So I asked them how I as a repeat and fairly frequent customer should feel about being treated that way, and predictably one of them said "you're welcome to feel however you want to feel about it", which is exactly what I figured he would say given his general demeanor towards the conversation, which is dismissive and disinterested, even a bit contemptuous. They were both aloof, standoffish, not in the least bit understanding, there was no apology offered, and in fact if anything I would call them defiantly almost aggressively standing their ground on this, as though they had acted in a reasonable way. It was incredibly disrespectful and crappy, and fully undeserved, I didn't raise my voice, say anything crappy, insult or demean them in any way, I just asked the question. It's just me saying it, but I treat people with honor and respect until they deserve differently, and even in this case where it was clear they had nothing but contempt for me and my point, I still said nothing crappy to them, except to let them know to look for this on Yelp, and here it is. But yeh, I was treated with dismissal and even some amount of contempt, for which I can literally find zero justification for it, maybe because I'm an older yt guy in a predominantly Latin area, but that seems like a reach, there's other people like me around, but there was really no reason to be like that, to the point of even calling out "have a nice day!" as I left, literally lamest and most cowardly way to say f-off that's been around for like 50 years....and comes off even lamer from young people.... Ok, there's why they went from a mildly favored place to a never again in a hot second, so buyer beware, there's some poor business practices being used at this place, and I tend to not give places that treat me poorly more good money after bad, you might want to factor my experience into what you spend your money on in this case. ‍ read more

I did not know I grew up 5 mins away ...and today was the first time I ate there! It was amazing! I met some long times friends I haven't seen in about 10yrs. It was an amazing time! The food was amazing! So many options. I ordered from the photo reviews to help me decide. It never goes wrong. All 4 of us had a great time, and i got an order to go for my mom. I was there for 4 hours, but I kept ordering more drinks and more food, so I was contributing the whole time. I'm definitely coming here every single time I visit! The workers were all nice! I wish I had learned the names...,but the guy register guy was the one with a smile as he worked the whole time. It's a breath of fresh air when people are positive!

Enjoyed breakfast with my wife. We shared a coffee cake and a cinnamon roll. The cake was fluffy and buttery with a good amount of crumble on the top. The roll was dense (but in a good way) with a nice soft chew, and plenty of icing. We enjoyed a latte and an horchata to wash things down. Plenty of seating on a weekday morning, but I heard the place gets plenty packed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Their menu is quite extensive so if you like variety you'll have a wide selection to choose from. read more
