Breakfast all day in DTLA? Say less‍ Spent the morning at Vees Cafe and ordered the kind of spread that makes you want breakfast for every meal. We tried the West Adams Omelette, The Classic Breakfast, Paris French Toast, crispy Onion Rings, plus a Matcha Latte and Cafe Latte to complete the lineup The French toast was giving main character energy, the omelette came fully loaded, and those onion rings disappeared way too fast. Cozy cafe vibes, comfort food, and breakfast served all day? Immediate yes. read more

I've been meaning to check Vees out for some time, I heard their breakfast is popular. I didn't realize they had a pretty big back patio which was quite nice and shady. Service was on the slow side. Food was mediocre. I had the chilaquiles - the best thing on the plate were the eggs. Beans lacked flavor, verde sauce didn't wow me but the iced americano wasn't bad. The cost including tip was about $75 for 2 people. We had 2 dishes & 2 coffees. He had a breakfast burrito. When did eating out for breakfast become so pricey? Street parking was easy. read more

Vees Cafe - Charming Outdoor Garden Patio - This restaurant is a hidden gem with a beautiful outdoor patio that is peaceful, vibrant and perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner with options for everyone. I love that they serve breakfast all day so you can pick a combination of whatever dishes you crave. AMBIANCE Ideal for dates or catching up with friends. Also, during the weekdays it is a great setting to get some coffee, pastries and do some work and grab more food! It's so calming and it isn't overcrowded like LA brunch places. SERVICE Love the dishes and service. Nicolas and Fernanda were so sweet and created very warm, homey environment!! FOOD The food was soooo satisfying!! and I can't wait to come back to try more items on their menu from the chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, chorizo burrito, and pancakes to the other pastas and fish! We ordered the following: Pumpkin Latte - new and perfect for Fall Cold Pressed Juice (lemon, apple, beets, ginger) - so refreshing, healthy and a real treat yourself drink Paris French Toast (came with a side of bacon and eggs or you can sub with potatoes) - This is a restaurant house favorite and a must for brunch. Romano Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp - this was my favorite! The sauce was rich, creamy and delicious. Shrimp plump and juicy. I LOVED it. Chicken Caesar Salad with Avocado - a great option if you're going for something healthy Buffalo Chicken Wings - juicy and flavorful, my husband is the king of wings and he enjoyed them Onion Rings - these hit the spot and I would order a side of them again! PARKING Street parking was easy to find. Definitely check this place out and support local P.S. i just saw the review on the Groupon which gave this place 1 star and it's unfair. I have had such horrible experience with Groupon and they are shady and don't do a good job with their vendors. This review for 1 Star should really be on Groupon and not the hardworking people here. read more

The food is some of the best I've ever had, my friend said it's better than bosa nova, which is very high on his list. I would say the pasta I ordered (Roman fettuccine) is one I would easily choose over any other restaurant. The platting adds to the aesthetic as well. The service is good, I have nothing bad to say about that, the waiter we had was friendly and attentive. Food took a bit but who cares with this quality and too be fair our fat asses orders a descent amount. The steak I ordered was a true medium rare and a bit rare in some part haha it was delicious regardless. Lastly the asparagus was bomb.com and huge for whatever reason. read more

This cafe is a hot mess with their Groupon deals. I came on a Sunday to use my Groupon that was set to expire 9/24/25 and noticed a big sign on the register claiming they aren't accepting them anymore and to contact Groupon for a refund. Fare enough right??? Wrong! I put a claim with Groupon and got a reply back that there is an ongoing investigation for Vees. I get an email today saying they rectified the issue and Vees is honoring Groupons again. Wrong! Called the number to ask and the gentleman who answered said NO and they removed themselves from Groupon! Can someone just give me my money back?'!!! Also, even though I didn't get to use my Groupon, I did support the business by buying a pasta. It took a bit to get to me even though it was sitting at the counter for a while. The pasta was good, but the inconvenience would never allow me to come back! Can you please let Groupon know you are NOT honoring Groupons so I can get my money BACK please! read more

Vees Café is such a gem in the middle of DTLA. I'll mention this first, as it's super rare in DTLA - they provide free parking (!!!), which is a godsend here and immediately makes the experience more relaxed. You walk up to the counter to order, and since the menu is big, I'd recommend scoping it out beforehand if it's busy. The staff is helpful, though, and guided us through a couple of choices. We split a Strawberry Lemonade, which was super refreshing, and also had some of their infused water. For food, I went with the Vees Butterfly Pasta. It came with a rich, creamy sauce, plenty of fresh cheese on top, and shrimp that paired beautifully with the dish. The bread provided was delish and just right for soaking up the extra sauce. I loved the colorful little flower on top, too. Gave the dish a great extra pop of color. My wife had the California Wrap, which was light, fresh, and tasty, without being too heavy. She was also a big fan of the fries, which she said were cooked just right. Both meals felt satisfying and well-balanced. The restaurant itself has a laid-back, modern atmosphere that makes it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole place felt welcoming and clean. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to make pricing a little more visible, maybe with a wall menu or some printed menus up front for people to look through before ordering. That aside, everything was awesome. We are rooting for this place to keep thriving, and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Great vibe and great food in DTLA. read more

1st time the chicken fettuccine was good and tasty, can taste the herbs. 2nd time, super disappointed in my chicken fettuccine. It was more like soup with chicken strips and very very little noodles. Waste of my money, $27 with tip. See the photos! I won't be returning after this. read more

Love how secluded this place is from all the noise and heavy traffic of DOWNTOWN LA. Entry into the parking station is off of Figueroa. The venue will give you a validation voucher so you don't have to pay. This place is huge! And can accommodate about 50 people or more . Love that the place is quiet and the back music is not loud. I started my morning with the Just Protein plate and the chorizo panini. The just protein plate has grilled chicken breast and 5 egg whites with a side of fruit. I was left speechless at the quality and quantity of the food. Very much enjoyed their side salsa 10/10. The panini chorizo was also high quality. Literally blew my mind at how delicious it all was. I haven't had a chorizo panini anywhere else, so I can't really compared it or say I had better. However, it being my first I know it will not be my last. Lastly, the drink.... I was not impressed with the strawberry matcha. Felt it needed something just can't quite put my finger on it. Overall, service was amazing. Female cashier was polite and patient with our large group. The place was super clean and welcoming. I will return again. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem.And luckily , they have a lot of signs to help you find the parking and location of the restaurant on the main streets. The food is absolutely delicious. There's a lot of space for big parties, indoor and outdoor seating and a waiting area.\n Or mutual area where they have a big screen TV and hosting the fifa world cup . Food was absolutely delicious. Every single thing. I tried not one thing, I complain about staff was very friendly and very attentive to us. They have iced and hot coffees and matches a must try is their big signature steak plate that comes with. Shrimp and veggies. read more

Considering how long I waited for my food for a to go order I would've thought my food would've been hot off the grill. It was lukewarm at best, which is kind of crazy. I asked for no tomatoes, and my receipt states no tomatoes yet I was still given tomatoes, which irritated me on my omelette. I got a side of pancakes and mediocre at best very thick and kind of chalky. My potatoes really had no seasoning, for $35 I didn't feel satisfied. I won't be returning. Also, I asked for butter and jam for my toast, and the jam had absolutely no flavor no sweetness to it at all. read more

Omg! This was the wordy experience. We went particularly because my daughter wanted a parfait as it was on the menu seen on yelp. But they didn't have yogurt. So we ordered something else. Like toast. The girl looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for a refund of my 15 dollar parfait. Then said she couldn't refund me. Then had to call a manager, to tell me he can refund me in maybe 2-3 hours or tomorrow!! Wtf? Needless to say I had to walk out with no refund and dispute with my bank just to save myself energy and to keep me from exploding. On an other note my chiliquiles were trash. The eggs weren't cooked all the way. And I picked at it and threw it away. Never again. Do not be fooled by the photos. read more

I ordered Chilaquiles Divorciados which were good quality and a little too spicy for me. I usually like spicy but it was a tad too spicy for me. I'm a matcha girl so I ordered strawberry matcha, I wouldn't recommend it. It was not great. I also ordered these powdered cookies which had a Carmel filling I think but they were so good! Honestly I felt like it was a bit pricey. On the menu they don't have prices unless you go on to their order to go app. read more

Honestly, the restaurant is empty, yet I placed my order online. When I arrived, they told me the order wasn't ready. Poor service.

I ordered food from here off DoorDash and it was so gross I couldn't eat it. The fruit with my classic breakfast was one sad strawberry, thinly sliced and thrown in a loose bag with four blueberries. The side of "steak" was so greasy it was leaking through the container, and the contents inside, not only looked nothing like the photo on the website, but I don't think could be classified as steak. The scramble I ordered with extra vegetables, came with no vegetables and looked like complete slop. Avoid this place! read more

I was meeting a friend for lunch who was staying at the Westin Bonaventure. There aren't too many lunch options open on a Saturday afternoon, so we decided to give this place a try. It was a very pleasant surprise! It's a large, clean cafe with many booths and tables on the ground floor of an office complex. There is 1 hour free parking in the garage with validation. We ordered the Chicken Greek Salad and Tuna Melt panini. Both were tasty and the portions were large. They also have a good selection of fresh juices and smoothies. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The service was friendly and prompt. It's definitely a nice choice for breakfast or lunch in the downtown area, especially on Saturday or Sundays when not much else is open. read more

Had lunch with co-workers. Sat outside in their garden patio as it was a lovely day. Menu was very diverse. Food was freshly made and delicious. Hearty portions. Service was prompt but then again we were the only ones in the restaurant at 1pm. I think this place is more of a breakfast place. But lunch was amazing! They do close at 3pm. I had a veggie quesadilla. My co-workers had salads and and sandwiches. All agreed. Great food! I don't live close but I would definitely make the trip to downtown to go again! read more

This place was an absolute disappointment. We ordered one breakfast burrito and two basic coffees--nothing complicated--and it took over 45 minutes. When I asked to cancel after waiting so long, they refused and then suddenly managed to make the food in 4 minutes, which shows they simply didn't care until I complained. To make matters worse, the coffees we received were not even what we ordered. The total bill came to $40 for practically nothing, which is outrageous for such poor service and lack of care. This cafe clearly has no respect for customers' time or money. I would strongly recommend avoiding Vees Cafe in downtown Los Angeles. read more

Service is very slow waiting over 20 mins to have someone to come to table and over 30 mins to get the food and still haven't gotten it

Came here with friends, and the food looked amazing! The presentation was spot on. I got the waffles and my husband got the chorizo burrito. My husband loved his burrito, he said the chorizo was rich in flavor and it came with a side of sour cream and guacamole salsa. Although my waffle looked amazing it tasted sub par. The batter just tasted a bit off. The fruit on there was good, bacon was crispy and the scrambled eggs were good though. Service was friendly and the cashier was really informative about the menu. Overall, 4/5. read more

I visited this place for breakfast on a weekday with a group of eight. You place your order at the register and then find your own table. Our group ordered a variety of breakfast burritos, pancakes, and omelettes. The food was average and the burritos were small for the price. The main issue was the service. Despite being the only patrons, it took over 40 minutes for our dishes to arrive, and they came out...slowly...one by one. By the time the last person got their dish, everyone else had already finished. To make matters worse, one person ordered a Veggie Omelette because they are vegetarian, but it came with bacon. This is unacceptable. read more

The reviews are true, stay away unless you want to wait an hour for the most basic food you've ever had in your life. We waited an hour for a staff burrito and chilaquiles. I got so frustrated that I asked for a refund after not getting our food. This was 7 days ago and still no refund in my account. So on top of shitty service and shitty food they will lie to your face about a refund and just steal your money. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. read more

They had us waiting for our food for more than a hour, We eventually asked for a refund. I tried to explain to them how they gave me the wrong coffee and the younger waitress insisted I order the coffee they gave me. But she wasn't even the one that took my order. I also couldn't believe their chilaquiles plate was $30 0/10 don't recommend read more

Today is the 3rd time I've been to Vees Cafe and have always gotten great service. It sounds like it depends what time of day you go because it's always been quiet the times I've been. I came with a friend for breakfast. The past 2 times, I've gotten the chilaquiles and they have been good. I decided to get the chorizo breakfast burrito today and it was filling but kind of bland. I'll probably stick to the chilaquiles. I got the sweetheart latte which was good and my friend got the Royal latte which she enjoyed! Overall, I love the outside patio and how serene it feels with the fountains. I appreciate the fans to keep us cool and the table fans to keep flies away. They also have infused waters out for you to grab. Staff were really nice and were always checking in with us. Prices a bit expensive in my opinion but that's LA for you. read more

Buyer beware! No prices on the menu made what should have been a $45 breakfast for 3 a $106 (before tip) question mark! Since the prices were so high, I'm rating this as if it was a high end joint, not a basic breakfast place. Should have $$$ rating instead of $$. DJ was playing strange and offensive music for 11am on a Saturday. Food/ service: - Omelettes were just ok, griddle was too hot and overcooked the eggs - coffee had a weird taste - English breakfast tea latte had too much milk, it enough tea, but the frothing was good - fruit sides were only watermelon and melon, no berries. Had to ask specifically to get berries. - Service was fine, though not a lot of attention. Parking was also a bit tricky to figure out. Felt a bit ripped off by the whole experience. Caveat Empor! read more

Good afternoon, I just wanted to reach out and let you know about the experience we had at your dtla location this morning. The service was awful. We go to this location quite often as we work right across the street. The service is actually always very slow but we tolerate it because the waitress is sweet. Today the service was beyond slow and we waited 40 minutes for 3 drinks and a croissant. We ordered a croissant sandwich an were told 20 minutes later that there were no more croissants left. We asked for a refund and were told it would take 3-4 days. This was a to go order. Why did it take 20 minutes to figure out there were no more croissants??? Worst service ever and then the lady helping us gave us an attitude. Very disappointed in our treatment and service today. read more

Staff are friendly. The breakfast plate was not good. It came with 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and pancakes. I ordered eggs over medium and they were over easy. The sausage was over cooked and very hard. Potatoes were inconsistent some were not cooked through and overcooked. They also taste not freshly made. The pancakes were very bad. Very dense and tasted like flour. It also took 20 minutes to get this breakfast plate. Go elsewhere. They might do better with some of their other dishes but if they can't do well with a standard no frills breakfast plate I wouldn't expect any better for other dishes. read more

I'm so glad Vees got to expand because their other location is always busy! They have a great variety of breakfast/lunch items such as sandwiches, wraps, paninis, waffles, eggs, pancakes, salads, pastas, and cafe drinks. A few I tried include: - Linguini di mare - Lemon salmon plate - Waffle breakfast - Chicken pesto panini - Southwestern salad - Blended banana mocha I like their paninis and pasta the most. The fruit on the waffles are also so fresh--same goes for the avocado! Salmon was nicely cooked and the mocha had a nice subtle banana flavor. Portions are so generous and there's plenty of seating at this location too! Please make sure to check them out :) Free parking with validation as well! read more
