Bea Bea’s — Restaurant in Glendale

Alright, alright... Hate to break it down to y'all but Bea Bea FOR ME is just another Instagram worthy but really just a so-so kind of breakfast place.

I first went to this place sometime in 2020 expecting it to be the most amazing brunch ever! I know for sure we ordered the Green Tea Monster and 2 orders of Egg Benedicts, really unsure which specifically at this point. But of course before that, we waited at least 30 mins to be seated on a very busy Saturday morning when we arrived at 8:00 AM. Their staff was very limited hence customer service was very bad.

NGL, the pancakes were amazing!!! Like this is the only reason why I would come back to this place. Egg Benedicts are okay tasting but for the price? Nope, would not order it again.

Fast forward to earlier today, we gave this place another shot. Why not? It's been at least a year since we last came, probably wait time to be seated is not that long or maybe they have more people in the resto to accomodate you.

Guess what... We were seated right away! That's FANTASTIC. But the service??? Oh, Lord. Come to think of it, they have more people working now so we should be okay, right? Nope, nope, nope...

The host did not bother saying greeting us nicely, just straight away walking to our table asking for our vaccination cards. When we pulled out our cards, he DID NOT BOTHER EVEN LOOKING AT IT FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS AND LEFT US AT OUR TABLE WITHOUT EVEN SAYING THAT WE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF OUR SERVER.

Our server came after 15 minutes of looking at which server will assist us. And it's wasn't just us. It seems like everyone inside was doing a guessing game of who their server is and what time they will be coming to their table. It's that bad. The other servers or food runners WILL AVOID YOU ON PURPOSE EVEN IF YOU MET THEIR EYES ALREADY WHILE RAISING YOUR HAND TO ASK FOR SOMETHING.

Moving on to our food, the Pancake Flight was decently sized and priced which is the only reason why today's dining experience is okay. Steak Sandwich is overcooked with regular tasting bread and was not even a big portion, blah... Sicilian Scamble was overpriced but the taste is alright. These all came in after 20-25 minutes???

Save your time, save your money. There are other places who will provide amazing and quality customer service without leaving with a $70 check plus with a happy and...

Every time we pass by this place there is a long line. But I decided to go on a Monday morning and try my luck. We found parking right on the street, 2 hour parking meter. We walked in and sure enough they had a few tables open and were able to seat us right away. The staff is extremely friendly here. They were all looking out for one another. For example, someone took our drink order, then another person quickly came over to check if we were helped, someone else brought our coffees out. I really like that anyone there is able to help out any given table and that you’re not tied down to one person. I couldn’t decide between the Matcha Pancakes or the Thai Tea pancakes. So our lovely waiter suggested I get the Trio Pancakes which includes both of those and their Black Sesame Pancakes. We also ordered a side of Fruit Yogurt Parfait. Not long after our food came out and it was a sight to see. The fresh colors and smell of each pancake was just fantastic. We dug right in. The Matcha pancakes were out of this world. Thai Tea was so unique in flavor. And the Black Sesame was very interesting and tasty. They were all so fluffy and spongey. Love that texture!! And the Yogurt Parfait was excellent. The fruits on top were very fresh and the granola was the perfect pairing on top. Over all I know now why there’s always a line out the door at this place. Great food and service! We will definitely be...

There was a long wait, my friends made a reservation for all of us but they wouldn't sit her until everyone arrived. We were seated in a very crowded corner, no leg or arm room and our table was practically on top of the other patrons sitting around us. We ordered drinks first which came pretty quickly however they forgot my girlfriend's drink and silverware for 1/3 of the table. The food came rather quickly, but it also tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp as it was soggy and the fried potatoes were not crunchy. Everything was flavorless and tasteless, absolutely no season (I guess it's one of those places they leave it up to you to season the food after it's already cooked and sitting out?). One of our friends ordered the simplest thing, bacon and eggs, and they came out last way after everyone else's food, also luke warm and flavorless.

The only nice thing about the place was the restrooms, they were very clean, spacious and well stocked and for how busy the place was there was never a line. Overall however I would never go back, the bill for my girlfriend and I was $95.00 plus tip, definitely not worth it for the wait, the crammed seating situation and very lackluster food.

If you want great breakfast food with the same type of trendy hip atmosphere try Aroma Café in Studio City, you will not be...
