Café De Olla Restaurant
2315 W Victory Blvd Ste A, Burbank, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Burbank institution is a pilgrimage spot for anyone serious about traditional café de olla, where the signature spiced coffee is so good that regulars happily order multiple cups throughout their meal. The kitchen shines with craveable house specialties like chilaquiles and creative breakfast sandwiches, all served by genuinely warm staff who navigate the perpetual weekend crowds with grace and charm. It's the kind of place that feels like a well-loved family gathering spot—expect a wait, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality of both food and hospitality.”

Finally after such a long wait to be able to visit this location and the waiting paid off! Great food and even greater staff!
Ordered takeout on a weekend since the dine-in wait was too long. We got the Deli Kids (over-medium egg, banana with Nutella, and an apple juice), an iced café de olla, the club sandwich with fries, and a side of French toast. The drinks were really good and the sandwich was solid. The Deli Kids was just okay. It’s also pretty pricey for what you get, so I’m not totally sure why this place is so popular, maybe it’s just one of those trendy spots. I wouldn’t wait an hour if the waitlist is that long. Parking is also tough, no lot, street parking only. When it’s packed, you’ll probably have to park around the corner in the residential streets.
The service was excellent. We were kindly greeted by Erick who was straight up from the beginning and informed of the long wait due to our large party. We communicated during our wait and made special accommodations for our party and we are grateful for that. The food was SO worth the wait, everything was freshly served, delicious, and savory. We live 1 hour away, so this experience was worth our drive. Great atmosphere and friendly service.
We’ve visited this spot several times in the morning and always order the chilaquiles — they’ve been amazing every time with great flavor and quality. We haven’t tried their pancakes and other sweet breakfast items yet, but they look really good and are definitely on our list for next visit. It’s a small, cozy place, so during busy hours you might have a short wait. A lot of people stop by for coffee and fresh baked goods to go, which shows how popular it is. Friendly staff, great vibes, and consistently good food. Definitely worth stopping by.
If you love cafe de olla, this is a must! I had 4 cups while eating my breakfast 😆I had the chilaquiles omelette and it was delicious! I would highly recommend if you are in the area and are looking for a good spot for breakfast 🥞
