Bea Bea's — Restaurant in Burbank

Visited here today with my mom and sister. They drove 2 hours to try this place. I have heard a lot about it so I decided to come and try. I was first really annoyed with the feeling of being rushed. Immediately I got asked what I’d like to drink and I was like whoa I need a bit more time. Finally, as I wait for my family, I decided to order a matcha latte, she said that the latte machine wasn’t working or something like they were installing a new one. That was lame. I got the Lacinda Blush? I can’t remember the name correctly but it had French toast, bacon, eggs, and potatoes that I swapped for hasbrowns. The eggs, bacon, and hash, no problem. Decent. Hard to mess that up. The French toast though was super dry. It was on huge thick slice that definitely needed to be soaked in the custard batter more for sure. This was super disappointing but I decided to not complain. It was also annoying that I had to ASK for butter for my toast….??? Anyways, my sisters waffle was way better than the bland and dry French toast. Hers was HUGE too. My mom enjoyed her meal. I feel like it wasn’t really anything special but it could have been because we got pretty much basic breakfast options. I did notice the table next to us got a latte (🤔) and also a really yummy looking pancake! I think this place is good but I just think maybe I ordered too basic of a plate? Not really sure. The rushing, the blandness, and the fact that I couldn’t get a latte was really annoying. I’m a social media manger for small businesses and a waitress so I was hoping she would bring me a latte when it was available but nope. And we still tipped $20 🤣. Willing to try this place again, maybe. A bit pricey though, we paid $125 for 3 people for breakfast. Idk 🤷‍♀️. By the way, the place lotus and light across the way has some of the BEST pho in La, that’s how I came across this place. Hoping to visit again soon and try something different. Once again this was just my honest first impression, it wouldn’t be my first choice moving...

This review is for the Glendale location. This place is HORRIBLE! If I can give them NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD!!! I went to their so called breakfast restaurant. Their slogan is BREAKFAST IS EVERYTHING! More like BREAKFAST IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU ORDERED! The waitress took our order and that's the beginning of a bad experience. My family (just three individuals) ordered breakfast. My order was a ham and cheese omelet with onion tomatoes and mushrooms, when order came it was incorrect. They forgot my toast and I think they were low in supplies because the only put 1 slice of cheese. They normally put 2 slices. The waitress never approached my table, maybe she felt that she was too good to check up on us. The food runner who wore glasses, had a bad attitude, he just came and dropped off our order and took off. I had to get his attention and inform of the incomplete order. He took my plate and brought back the order correct but just dropped off the plate like it was my fault that they did not know how to take an order and bring it correctly. I Informed him that I needed coffee and extra creamer. He got me the coffee and then to my surprise instead of bringing me the creamer, he brought me RANCH DRESSING IN A CREAMER DISPENSER! I informed the runner that instead of creamer, he brought me RANCH DRESSING. The runners response was "THAT'S WHAT YOU ORDERED!" I don't know what restaurant at 9:00 AM would offer RANCH DRESSING WITH THEIR COFFEE! This place not only has employees that do not listen to their customer requests but they lack customer etiquette. The proper response was" Sir I apologize for bringing the Incorrect items to your table. I will bring you your creamer immediately. After 25 years as a Food and Beverage Director for a major Hotel chain, I have never seen such bad service until today. I hope that no other patron will ever has this bad experience. As for me I will never step foot in that establishment. GOOD RIDDANCE TO...

You drive by a breakfast place that is booming and you're like 'dang, I gotta try that', right? Nah. This place is overhyped. Steer absolutely clear.

Their biggest travesty is their french toast. For a place whose website boasts 17 forms of french toast, you'd imagine they'd have the base recipe perfected... and you'd be wrong. They're dressing up dry toast with ritzy toppings and expecting you to drown it in fake syrup (ya'll really gonna serve me aunt jemima knockoff for 16 bucks?), all in the hopes you won't notice that the disappointingly bland custard never had a chance to soak to the inside of the bread. Enjoy your dry end piece of cheap texas toast, peasant.

Now, the french toast is the biggest travesty because they're pushing it hard, but to be honest, the breakfast potatoes take the cake for worst dish we ate (or more accurately, got a fifth of the way through). For six bucks, the LEAST you can do is whisper the word 'salt' into the pan, or maybe at least show it a picture of rosemary. Ya'll oughtta pay ME to eat those. And that's saying a lot; I'll eat damn near anything and like it.

Crepes were also disappointing and overdone, but at least a weak crepe is still a crepe. Even if you mess that up, we're just here for the whipped cream anyway (which was definitely palatable).

Service is slow and inattentive, food is lackluster at its best and a travesty at its worst, cost is higher than it deserves to be, place is uncomfortably crowded, and would it kill you to dust, like, anything? Your lamps are FUZZY ffs.

There's a world where the non-sweet breakfasts are worth getting, but by my count, I've already written about three strikes, so I ain't going back to try. But hey, parking is ample and the portions scream 'quantity over quality', so at least your dollar bills are buying LOTS of...
