Fratelli Cafe
7200 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Fratelli Cafe is a warm neighborhood gathering spot where generous portions and attentive service create an unpretentious LA brunch experience, with standout items like their surprisingly hearty split pea soup and satisfying Mignon eggs Benedict. The staff genuinely cares about accommodating dietary needs and the energy shifts from peaceful early-morning coffee runs to bustling social hub within an hour, making it equally great for a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely meal with friends. Easy parking and reasonable prices for the area seal it as a reliable, no-fuss favorite that keeps getting better.”

Huge portions and very comforting! Some things a bit on the dry side so nothing too special but still a good brunch. It wasn't too busy for a brunch on this fine Saturday. We got seated right away. Parking wasn't super easy but when is it ever. Biscuits and Gravy: Depends I'm a hUUUUUgee sucker for biscuits and gravy and this was... just okay. It was a bit on the drier side and didn't make me wanna really finish the whole thing. The first half was enjoyable when i was still ravenous Shared a lot of the other foods and almost everything else seemed also... comforting and tasty but nothing too special considering the higher prices. Food: 6/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Price: 5/10
The staff who took our order was attentive and mindful of what we could and could not eat. The portions were filling, and the prices are reasonable for the area, slightly above average. We had a pleasant breakfast overall.
This is a solid spot that has only gotten better, their food menu has become amazing too and other than not having wifi avail there is a ton of great energy here. The CruzilIito breakfast tacos are my absolute favorite and order them without black beans and with a side of cottage cheese. Its perfection. I spent a hard summer of 2016 in this neighborhood. This place, at the end of my street provided a great feeling of home for me and helped aid my absence of connection. Their menu is packed with awesome food and well made breakfasts! I looked forward to returning and seeing the new expansion of this great place! and now that they have done that it flows beautifully. I recommend it often to people worldwide I meet and am so grateful for my mornings there! Also I love the music centric culture here - today its disco and funk and that is so very important to keep the energy up - thank you Fratelli's - I love you
Nice place, quick coffee, great service. Coffee was good. Mignon eggs Benedict’s were good. We went early, place was empty, easy to park. In 20 minutes, place was full.
The service was absolutely phenomenal. Their split pea soup was SO good and much larger than I was expecting. All the wait staff asked us how our meal was a few times, I was able to order in Spanish. Si hablas español, hay muchos trabajadores aquí que hablan español. their patio was super cute! I stopped here because I saw everyone sitting on the patio and I’m so glad I did! The food was delicious, 10/10 recommend!
