Cafe Fratelli Review

Grabbed lunch with my brother here and really enjoyed it. Funny thing worth noting- some reality show was filming on the patio area of the restaurant when we arrived. But about the food and service...

This restaurant is super vegan and vegetarian friendly! My bro is vegan and before he could mention this, the waiter made sure he asked if my bro had dietary restrictions and detailed all the ingredients in his order that were animal byproducts. The awareness of various diets was refreshing! The waiter showed the same knowledge and awareness when I placed my order. I got a veggie burger and fruit bowl. Sounds boring but it was anything but. The veggie burger was fresh and I could taste its ingredients as well as a delicious aioli sauce. Classic vegetation meal that did not disappoint. Can't remember what my bro had but he enjoyed his meal, too.

The service was really good and the food was delicious. Only other odd thing worth noting is that there was a dog napping (the restaurant mascot maybe??) in a corner of the restaurant while we had lunch.

Nice location for delicious brunch. i love this place, great food & service. the service was very friendly and attentive. this place has a cool feel to it.

The food was not appealing or good. Chicken had no flavor and the waffle was hard and tasted like flour.

Very fast service. good food Only disappointment was my caramel mocha was not worth the money.

I have not been in a hair salon in many years, so I was coming in a little apprehensive, but the staff quickly calmed my nerves and promised he would take good care of me! And that he did!! He was AMAZING! I love my cut!! I will Be Back!! Thank you!!

Awesome food, great atmosphere, and excellent staff

Great location for tasty brunch. The service here is friendly. The place has a nice feel to it.

Only problem is they didn t let me book a permanent seat

You've really got to check this place out if you haven't been here. You won't regret it.

Food is good - prices are ridiculous! Easily $50 for 2 people... you do get a lot of food, and will most likely have leftovers, but I prefer a $14 breakfast (including coffee) that I don't have to enjoy later in the day also.
Ambiance is nice, people are friendly - 4 stars only because of the high prices.

LOVED THIS PLACE! Was strolling around the neighborhood and came across this spot, had the huevos rancheros and it was delicious.The owner was super nice too. Highly recommend this spot!

Came here for breakfast/brunch and was so pleased. Friendly staff, great food & great prices. Mimosa's were also on point! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent location for Brunch. The food was tasty. There was fast and courteous service. They have so many great reviews for a reason.

The coffee and selection of cocktails was exceptional. The server was very attentive. I would suggest a selection of desserts that had more Italian options which has made their bakery famous for. The list was overwhelmed with chocolate options. Otherwise a great spot to visit instead of going to the North End after dinner at a Local restaurant.

I seriously think that their secret is just some really well seasoned cast iron pans :P Its one of a kind taste surprises me every time because I keep doubting my previous memory of this place. Now I'm eating the leftovers, and yep, it is still tasty. It was worth the one hour wait on a Saturday for me.

Great place for lunch or breakfast. Employees are friendly and helpful. Sign up for the rewards its 100% worth the 30 seconds.

Great food and amazing service!
We got the Shakshuka and blueberry pancakes along with a few drinks. Both dishes tasted great, super fresh and came out quick. The eggs in the shakshuka were cooked perfectly and the spices were great. Blueberry pancakes were on the lighter side but were perfect as a sweet ending to the meal. The highlight of the place was the service though. Carolina at the front is an absolute gem and was so sweet while taking our order. The server who brought us our food was amazing and gave us free toast as well as being INCREDIBLY attentive. Would have most likely come back for the food alone, but will definitely be back because of the great service we received.

brunch, super tasty. i look forward to a return trip.

Recommended by a friend, waited in a 20 min line to get in but boy was it well worth it!!! Delicious breakfast with freshly backed pastries. Don't leave with out trying the pancakes!

Nixe cafe.. The menu was very good. I tried the taco trio and the were outstanding. Can't wait to go back.

Brunch, excellent. you won't be disappointed in the menu and service. fast, efficient, and courteous service. the place has an awesome feel to it. menu is like a cafe in indianapolis i liked.

I was served one of the most delicious omelets I can remember eating. Also, they have fabulous coffee.

Food and service was wonderful. Reservations on Sunday late morning is essential. All staff hustled to accommodate the patrons. Well worth the wait.

If only thier service was as good as thier food. 5/5 food 3/5 for service

Extensive menu, very cheap for Melrose!! Their coffee is bombb

Arrived at peak hours on Saturday, joined the waitlist, and seated outside. This place has great outdoor seating- the crossroads are not super busy. Had new tacos and a sausage omelette. There are also options for those with alternative eating styles. Food was tasty but nothing revolutionary. Solid brunch spot nonetheless but can find similar food seemingly everywhere in LA. Would rate the experience 4.5 but google only allows 4 or 5.

I definitely enjoyed my time here, had to wait for almost an hour to get a table but it was a Sunday so we expected that to happen. We ordered chicken croissant sandwich, French toast and avacado toast and they were all delicious but avacado toast was my favorite! I also had hazelnut latte which was pretty good too. Definitely recommend this place but maybe not on a Sunday morning.

It is not bad at all. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is good with a lot of variety. Located on Merlose Avenue, it also has tables outside where you can eat and chat in the sun. Recommended!

Yum.
Yum.
Yum.

I don't even have to go into detail here... just delicious.

Good service, great food. My friends and I all got a different dish and split them family style. Each dish was delicious.

Everything about this place is fantastic!!!! The food, the customer service, the prices... It is a must try for sure. First time here and will absolutely come back!!!

A real favorite !
Dishes very good, hearty and pleasant service and welcoming. An excellent value for money. I highly recommend. If you are visiting the Paramount, go for breakfast or lunch you will not be disappointed!

Unfortunately it does not even reflect 10 per 100 of the value of Italian food the carbonara they do not make it wrong the type of pasta the tiramisu we are very far

Always love coming here when I'm in the area. My number one place for breakfast and lunch. The staff is always friendly and attentive to the customers. The food is fantastic and keeps me coming back. On top of that I love the ambient the place produces. The decor is intriguing and beautiful. Worth the stop!

You have to wear a mask to go inside and wash your hands where no one is dining and it is basically empty but are seated outside immediately next to groups of people and don't have to wear a mask. Make it make sense.

Food is perfect but we wait for an hour in a line to get in . You should try it

Came in dec 16th . place is not kid friendly. Ordered chai latte it tasted like foamy milk tasted last or nothing. I ordered food that never came and the chorizo taste like Taco Bell meat. Wouldn t spend my money again

Wait outside to get in, wait inside to order, wait to get a table, and then wait for your food. A great place to do some major ketchup. I liked their monte carlo, eggs Benedict (can't go wrong with any), and gave their french toast sampler a try. Some thick slices and not your usual french toast style? Have nothing to do? Kill time by going here.

It's a great place to eat for dinner! Furthermore, the waiters and waitresses were very welcoming to customers such as myself. But it was well worth it!

I was starving and this was the closest place so I ventured in and ended up happy I did. Loved the little side house salad- basic but with great house made dressing (which always makes or breaks it for me). Also got the quiche. Bread and oil with herbs made this a satisfying light lunch that was super enjoyable and didn't break my wallet! Service was attentive. No crowd (which was fine by me!).

The food was amazing at this cafe. Food came out promptly and the staff were very attentive when asking them to change items on the menu.

I did not like his food very much. The service of the waitress very well very attentive

AMAZING FOOD, YOU CAN TASTE THE LOVE WHILE YOU EAT IT!

I got the avocado toast and I enjoyed it. I had a good time with my friends.

This place is AMAZING!!!!! The Croissant french toast had to be the best thing to hit my taste buds!!!! The owner was upbeat and hilarious! The staff was attentive and so nice! A must have. Definitely coming back on our next visit

I love this place. The couple that runs it are super sweet and friendly. Los Angeles are awesome and their ham and cheese croissants are way better than your average pastry shop.

Omelette was very tasty but the chocolate and banana croissant stole the show! Must have if you go!

Excellent service and food, tons of options for vegans

Probably ly the single best place in the area for breakfast or lunch. Great design and incredible food. If you come here once you will be hooked for life. Love it.

Brunch and service here is above par. I was so full. Fast, efficient, and courteous service. This place has an awesome feel to it. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I loved.

brunch and the scene at this location is great. fell in love with this place from the 1st taste. the place has an awesome atmosphere. i see why this place has a lot of good reviews.

Super good place! Food was awesome, service was on point, and the overall experience was enjoyable. Going back soon.

Decent... Don't eat the Abraham omelet unless you like salt.

Food was delicious! All the workers are super friendly.

No mames everything is good!
My girl and I loved the Huevos Rancheros!

brunch and the feeling at this spot is excellent. Dropped in on Mon I think. Feeling here is similar to a place in Columbus I liked.

This place is fantastic! Amazing food one of our favorite places in LA. The staffs are very friendly and the service is good. Great atmosphere, I really love it.

Quick food service, very prompt & very delicious food! It can be a challenge to get in during peak hours, but space at the counter always seems to exist.

Just like the area all flash no substance. Go try blue jam

I have no idea how Fratelli has 4.5 stars. This is one of the few times Yelp is very off. I've been here multiple times and the service is slower than even the busiest of places nearby. Also ordered scrambled eggs and they were so watery the whole plate was covered in water. They were inedible. No one in my group was pleased with their meal. While it has a nice patio and a large menu, there are a lot of better options on Melrose. I'd rather wait in line at Blu Jam.

Only in town for the day & stopped at this spot. Got a WHOLE BOTTLE of mimosas for $20. The food was amazingggggg & the service was even better. Can t wait to come back

I tried this place out for the first time and was so satisfied! The service was amazing; everyone was so chill, helpful and nice. The food was delicious . A little pricey, but you gotta remember it's Melrose Avenue!

One thing I didn't appreciate was that there are no combos. So you have to order everything separately. For example I ordered a waffle so then I ordered a side of turkey sausage.

Service was very slow. Panini was somehow burnt but also lukewarm, probably because it had been sitting out for a while- see slow service. Fries were cold, dining area was dirty. Unacceptable for a place where a sandwich is $15.

Cute place! Food wasn't that good.. matcha coffee it s was way to strong, avocado toast was to plain.. maybe I was expecting better food

Great breakfast place! Good variety of food. The portions are a good size. Only drawback, was the wait in line but it wasn't too bad since we got here after 10am.

Utensils were dirty and my hot chocolate had yellow stuff inside as if it hadn't been clean.

Absolutely AMAZING Happy Hour specials! Had the best time with my girlfriends eating our weight in cheap food and drinking our way through the menu.

Amazing food! The gentleman seating, seemed to be either the manager or owner, was very personable. All other employees were hustling and cleaning thoroughly before each table was sat. The chicken and waffles had a very nice flavor, chicken had a slot spice too. The croissant French toast was hands down the best! The fruit was fresh that topped the goodness of the French toast. GET THE CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST if you can t decide on a dish.

Great local classic breakfast cafe near Hollywood, LA. Their french toast and pancakes are definitely worth a try and so are their Mexican dishes.

If I could rate this place 6 stars I would, amazing food and service every time I visit, love this place.

Outstanding location for Brunch. Nice place to think about business. I look forward to a return trip. This place has a cool design. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I loved.

Wife and I came here while visiting and absolutely loved it. Make sure you try the house made potato s! The owner was extremely friendly and I wish I had this cafe where I live. Very charming place.

Great service and the atmosphere is on point. Had to wait a bit but ain't no thang.
