Sign to Patio Seating
Sarah L.

Last month, my friend suggested that we have brunch at Vivian's Millennium Cafe. We found street parking a block away and got a table upon arrival at around 9:30am on Saturday. The cafe's indoor space is small, but there's more seating in the green outdoor patio. The service was fast and the staff checked-in frequently. We ordered a few items to share, including The Otis, Lox Benedict, and Ultimate Pancakes. My fave was The Otis because it was colorful and filling. I chose sourdough toast and cheddar cheese for the eggs. I was skeptical about the tuna, but it paired well with everything. Also, I really enjoyed the Ultimate Pancakes, which had interesting texture and sweetness from the grains & nuts. Overall, good, quality food and cozy vibes, so I'd come back if I was in the area!

Breakfast Croissant+House potatoes
Eric R.

There are innumerable things that I love about this place, but I think I really need to talk about the beautiful outside space Vivians has. I genuinely felt at peace while I had a chance to look at their very diverse menu. The staff here was super friendly and down to Earth, and I'm shocked that despite my own hubris, in dropping a sausage from my very tasty breakfast croissant, the waiter immediately, without even asking got me a new one. On top of that, the other staff was checking on us frequently, which was super kind and thoughtful. The food though, really knocked it out of the park, I had an arnold palmer opposite my breakfast croissant with sausage and pepperjack cheese, and it was not only filling, but every bite was savory with a very subtle kick. Their house potatoes were solid too, having very nice flavors that paired well with my meal. A place like this is why I even bother writing reviews. I want the greater Los Angeles area to know that good service and even better food awaits you, if you but follow your nose. Cheers.

Nice outdoor patio, good breakfast food, lots of choices. Quick service, despiteits popularity. Passed by this place on the way to some other place, and decided we liked the vibes here better, came back.

Bacon eggs and hash browns

Such a cute little restaurant with natural lighting and beautiful trees outside. The service was great and the food was so satisfying. Everything tasted good

This was a last minute decision to come here before Universal. Our original spot was closed due to filming. This is your typical brunch location. It's small and there's seating. It was slow when we ate here. My omelette was pretty good. I got it when eggs were super expensive so it felt like a luxury and I'm glad they didn't cheapen it or replace the egg with mostly egg white liquid. My boyfriend's burrito was mid. He had these sautéed veggies as a side and I personally don't like it. Definitely stick to Hashbrowns and maybe an omelette. Service was alright.

Jenn's REALLY Big Sandwich
Magnolia B.

Vivian's is truly a hidden gem. I've lived just down the street from it since 2007, but only discovered it last month. I'm not sure why it doesn't appear in more brunch guides, because it's a delightful spot. It's an erstwhile house-turned-restaurant, with haphazard patio seating and a giant avocado tree that they warn may drop its fruit on your head. The website greets you with the curly '90s Gigi font. But an unconventional setting, threat of danger whilst you dine, and an Angelfire-esque website are always clues that the food will be amazing, and Vivian's does indeed deliver excellence. The pancakes are absolutely bomb, fluffy and flavourful. All the brunch meats and the eggs are perfectly cooked. It's classic diner-style breakfast sans the glare of fluorescent lights. I ordered "Jenn's REALLY Big Sandwich". It was a simple chicken salad (read: nothing weird in the mixture like nuts or grapes) with some unexpected accoutrements. It seemed like the most interesting item on the menu, so I was jazzed to try it. ...... Have you seen the film "Madea's Family Reunion"? Jenn's concoction made me think of this film. A lot of elements that don't seem like they go together, but somehow oddly complement one another in the finished product. Soap opera melodrama, raunchy comedy, and celebration of African-American fortitude all in one movie? Feta cheese, bacon, and chicken salad all in one sandwich? But it comes together gloriously. We enjoyed aperol spritzers with our meal, and they also have specialty coffees, beer, and mimosas. The waitstaff was attentive and pleasant, and they plied us with all the condiments we needed so we didn't have to beg for anything - syrup, jams, hot sauce, ketchup were all brought to us or already on the table. Vivian's is definitely a place to try at least once, and it's likely you'll come back to try more of their extensive menu.

Steak, mashed potato, veggies
Ginny Y.

When we walked in, we were welcomed with the friendliest greeting. The guy asked if we wanted to dine inside or outside and I said outside, so he walked us to the outdoor seating area and we were able to choose any spot we liked. Inside, we saw a sign for White Chocolate Macadamia Pancakes. I immediately said ohh I'd like to try that. But then in the back of my head said that'll never happen because I doubt it is gluten free. BUT then when we saw our menus, I was very happily surprised that they could make their pancakes gluten free. I liked that when our food was brought to us, we were reminded, they were gluten free pancakes (this sets my mind at ease because then I feel comfortable that the chef didn't forget and make them with gluten). We were also given warm syrup and warm butter. I was very excited. The first bite I think my eyes got big. They were so good! We ordered 4 pancakes and another entree. And I ate 3 of the 4 they were just so good! For the pancakes alone I would give this place 5 stars! Unfortunately the other entree we got was underwhelming. It wasn't bad, just okay. We got the Steak, Mashed potatoes and veggies. The mashed potatoes were bland and def needed the gravy for flavoring. I am allergic to cruciferous foods so I couldn't try the veggies. The steak was decent. For sure if we go back again I want more pancakes, maybe I'll try different ones. The ambiance of the outdoors was nice. It was a clear sunny day and perfect to be outside. There's a fully outdoors section and a covered outdoor section. I chose the covered area and it was perfect.

French Toast Combo
ruth r.

We came on a Sunday morning and surprisingly it was not busy. The times I've been here have always been good. The service is quick and efficient. The food is also delicious. The French toast was exactly what I was craving. Parking can be tricky since it is metered and very limited though.

Vivian's Millennium Café's menu has many delicious options!
Terrence T.

I have always passed by this restaurant and would say "I need to eat at Vivian's Millennium Cafe one of these days". Well a few friends and I were in Studio City one day and were ready for lunch. We went to Vivian's Millennium Cafe and the food, wait staff and ambiance was amazing. There were 6 of us so we sat in the well shaded back patio. The menu has great breakfast and lunch items. We had ordered a variety of delicious items: hamburgers, fries, sandwiches, cole slaw, French toast with bacon and eggs just to name a few foods. There's parking meters right outside of the restaurant or you can park in the residential side streets. Just read the street parking signs carefully or you might get a parking ticket. The cafe also has fun merchandise: hats and t-shirts with their logo on it!

New York Steak Sandwich
Janelle D.

I'm rounding up to four stars bc the service was really friendly and quick. The food was a miss on me though. I tried the NY steak sandwich and it had no flavor at all. The steak was well done, strips that had little flavor. I found myself wanting to add salt, ketchup, hot sauce, just something to liven up the sandwich. It came with a huge portion of thinly sliced sautéed red onion, but even that did not bring much flavor to the sandwich. The side I chose was potato salad, and that was enjoyable to eat. It had a nice ratio of onion, butter pickle, carrot, and potato. Alas, I regret not ordering a breakfast option.

Chicken Fried Steak Combo & The Brandon Special Omelette
Giovanni B.

Leah Remini's family has a hidden gem of a café that I discovered, and it exceeded my expectations. I opted for the Brandon omelette Special, while my husband chose the country fried steak. Both dishes were exceptionally delicious. However, be prepared for a potential parking challenge. You might need to park in the residential area, we ensure that you read the parking signs carefully. The service is top-notch. I had the pleasure of being served by Leah's sister, Shannon, who was an amazing server. On my last visit, as I was leaving, George (co-owner) family member, walked in with groceries, so you might even catch a glimpse of a celebrity. Never got To see Leah, but maybe one day. The café has an outdoor patio vibe, giving it a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Although it can get busy, the food is consistently great.

White macadamia gluten free pancakes
Thomas K.

The staff is very friendly. We were greeted from the start and felt very welcomed. The outdoor dining area feels very warm and inviting. It feels like an family members backyard. The pancakes were next level delicious. Highly recommend the pancakes. This is a great place for a date or to come with friends.

Has anyone tried the tuna sandwich?

Yes I've had their tuna sandwich and tuna melt. Both are very good however my preference is their tuna melt with fries. Another great sandwich is their Jen Special. All and all anything that you decide to eat will be a tasty choice.

How the parking?

It's all street parking for the most part. There's a small lot behind the restaurant that you can pay to park in but not sure how much. With that being said I've never had an issue finding a spot

Is it really worth trying this place, specially for cheat Sunday?

Yes without a doubt!!!

Do they serve mimosas or wine?

Hi there! We serve both mimosas and wine, as well as beer. Here is our full beer and wine list: http://viviansmillenniumcafe.com/beer-wine/… Read more

How are they about allergies (nuts, dairy, etc)?

I’m allergic to Bananas and have never had a problem with cross contamination and they use quite a few.

I am recovering from a leg injury, and really wanted the great kale quinoa salad. Since walking is quite difficult at the moment, I decided to place a delivery order. It took a while, but the salad was finally delivered, but when I opened the package I was surprised by the look of the salad. It seemed to have a topping of bread crumbs, but upon inspection I saw that it was a small little dump of quinoa. Hmmm, usually there are lovely shavings of Parmesan, but nope. There was a smidge of Parmesan, not the usual amount. But the real failure was the missing sunflower seeds! Whaaaat???!!! I paid $27 for a bunch of kale and lettuce with a couple tbs of quinoa and a few Parmesan shavings?! I called just to see how they would handle the situation. First I was hung up on, before speaking. Then I was put through to catering though I pushed #6, the general number choice. I was then transferred to someone else (not sure which dept) and I explained about the missing sunflower seeds. After checking with the kitchen he confirmed that yep, they ran out of sunflower seeds. He said I could get $.50 refund, and he would transfer me to another number. The phone rang for several minutes but no one picked up. My painkiller turned me into a total "Karen", because I expected so much more from a favorite place. Oh, well, there are other places. Though that kale quinoa salad is really good when it works. Just don't trust their delivery.

Had a phenomenal experience visiting Sweet Lily Bakery! Don't be deceived by the name though, Sweet…read moreLily is so much more than a bakery. In addition to their expertly-crafted pastries, Sweet Lily offers a great variety of French dishes and packaged food items. My group ordered the Sugar Beignet, Raspberry Croissant, and Coffee Croissant - which were all wonderful. The Raspberry Croissant had a not-too-sour fresh jelly filling and was definitely the crowd favorite, but the thick, latte-flavored filling in the Coffee Croissant made it a close second place. The fresh-squeezed orange juice at $5 felt like an absolute bargain, and the Cappuccino was also well-executed. The real stars of the show were the entrees, though. Both the Avocado Toast plate and Croque Monsieur truly tasted like a trip to France. They were hearty and full of flavor, without feeling too heavy. The Sweet Lily twist on Avocado Toast includes melted mozzarella and slices grapes, which really elevated the dish! The potatoes and salads that came as complimentary sides were a welcome surprise, and just as craveable as the entrees themselves. I truly don't think there's a bad thing to order here, and I look forward to returning to this bright and welcoming spot to try more!

Been wanting to try this place for a while and my son said he did as well, so we made a lunch date…read moreout of it today. It's kind of off the beaten path, where Ventura becomes Cahuenga. Near Barham and on the way to Hollywood. They have a few metered parking spots out front, but I went in and asked if they had their own parking and Mehdi told me they had a couple of spots in the alley behind the building, so that's where we parked. It's a cute place, not too fancy. They refer to it as a Boutique Pastry Shop. There are some snacks/knick knacks available for purchase, along with a refrigerator of drinks towards the back. The left side of the space is the coffee bar and the right side has the pastry cases and food menus. This is where we placed our order with Mehdi, who was pleasant, nice and knowledgeable about the menu and all the pastry items. I was talking to another employee, Gabriel, and asking him questions about the omelettes. He talked me through a few different options and he was also pleasant and kind. I decided on the Veggie Omelette (add mozzarella +$2, and side baguette +$1) with a Decaf Latte (+$0.75 for Oat Milk). My son ordered the Chicken Caprese Panini, which came with Pesto and Mozzarella Cheese. ($17). We also wanted to sample some pastries and we got 1 Nutella Beignet ($5.50), 1 Caribbean & 1 Red Carpet ($8 each), 1 Pear/Almond Tart and 1 Raspberry Tart ($6.50 each). Our total for everything including tip was $91.59, and I'm still kind of in shock over it! This place was SO EXPENSIVE!! Mehdi plated our pastries for us and Gabriel immediately got to work on the omelette and panini. We sat down at one of their many tables and got situated while we waited for the food. It was pretty empty as we were there around 3pm, an hour before they closed. There were two other tables being occupied while we were there. They had nice pop music playing, ranging from 90s-00s songs and artists. There were some nice twinkly lights above us along with the regular lighting of the restaurant. The space was also very clean, but I noticed some wear and tear on the tables/chairs. Once Mehdi brought our food out, we got to eating. My omelette also came with a small side salad with balsamic vinaigrette and some potatoes. I think everything tasted good, especially the omelette, but the potatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I also think the portion size was too small for the price. This statement goes for everything we ordered. It was all extremely overpriced for the portions they're offering. My son said his panini was just mediocre and bland. He opened it and added a bunch of salt to it. It was also very skimpy on the chicken, about 4-5 tiny slices inside. Moving onto the pastries, the Pear/Almond was my favorite. It wasn't overly sweet (actually, none of the pastries were), which is what I prefer. It was very delicate and tasty. I also had a bite of the Caribbean which was delicious. They went well with my latte, which tasted very good. I will be trying the rest later. My son had a bite of everything and liked the Caribbean and the Nutella Beignet, saying the rest were just average. I didn't use the restroom but my son did and said it was spotless clean, stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and room spray. The trash was empty, floors and counters were clean. They have one men's and one women's restroom and it's spacious. They began closing down the place about 5 minutes after we finished our bites and nibbling. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience by any means, but I don't think I'll be rushing here anytime soon to try it again. It was just outrageously expensive for what it was. I understand the cost of ingredients, labor, etc it takes to produce pastries and viennoiserie, but I just don't think the quality matched the prices. Just my opinion. I would say the service was great, both Gabriel and Mehdi are great employees! I may or may not come back. We'll see.
