Basil & Cheese Cafe

"Yum. This was a great breakfast find. It reminded me of Flour and Tate in Boston. The food was delicious and the chai tea was the best. Definitely go there if you are in LA"

"Short commentary Overall a good stop for breakfast. More complete commentary The food was excellent. I get a little pissed off when I can’t find salt and pepper or my own sweeteners to cater to my food the way I like. Reminders of that ignorance factor perpetuated in Starbucks post Covid Like there is value and not touching your own sweeteners That said the people were very polite clean kind. Just a little bit too much of that present generation separation of people from people that keeps showing up in these more modern venues. I’m also intrigued by places that push the tipping on you with their computer tablet process in places where you’re not really getting traditional tipping service. I believe my criticism is more of the company and its decisions in design than any of the people or food quality matters. Like I said, in the beginning - a pretty good stop for breakfast."

"The staff here is incredibly friendly. The ingredients are high quality and fresh. The combination of ingredients is carefully created and tastes amazing! I can't compare it to any other sandwich spot because it doesn't compare. I love these sandwiches so much! I look forward to visiting Basil & Cheese Cafe again!"

"Recently tried Basil and Cheese in downtown LA and the food was incredibly fresh and tasty, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot for brunch."

"Basil & Cheese Cafe is one of the best cafes I’ve ever visited! We were looking for a breakfast spot while we were visiting Downtown LA, and came across this cute cafe. The interior is adorably decorated with Basil & Cheese art, and the staff was incredibly friendly! We ordered the Tiramisu Latte, Iced Cafe Nopali, Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, Avocado and Burrata Toast and a Chocolate Croissant. Everything came out so quickly; all the food had great presentation and tasted delicious! The Avocado and Burrata was honestly one of the best I’ve had, perfect amounts of each ingredient made every bite as good as the last. The croissant was also baked to perfection: flaky & full of chocolate. If you’re looking for a cafe in DTLA, definitely check out Basil & Cheese!"
