LA / Irvine Area | NEP🦀🍞

A friend introduced me to this place before, and wow — a Southeast Asian–inspired brunch? Yes, please! 🍳💖 It hits all the right notes for Asian taste buds. I’ve been dreaming about their Crab & Egg Toast ever since — buttery, rich, loaded with tender crab meat… total indulgence (and maybe a calorie bomb, but totally worth it!). 🧈🔥 The menu names can be a little tricky to pronounce, but no worries — their digital menu has pictures, so you can just point and order! 📱👌 I also really wanted to try the sticky rice dish (I think it’s called Xoi Mai?), but with just two of us, we decided to save it for next time — no wasting good food! 🌾😊 Whether you're starting your weekend slow or meeting friends for a flavorful morning, NEP brings bright, comforting, and seriously satisfying vibes. Perfect for when you want something different from the usual brunch scene. ☀️🍽️ Can’t wait to go back and try more… that toast already has me hooked! 🥰 #NEPCafe #SoutheastAsianBrunch #CrabToast #IrvineBrunch #AsianFlavors #BrunchGoals #FoodDreams #ButteryGoodness #DigitalMenuEase #NoFoodWaste #WeekendBrunch #LAEats #TrySomethingNew #ComfortFood #MorningVibes #FoodieFind #EatTheWorld #YummyInTheTummy #ComeHungry #MustTryToast
