I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly frustrating. We were told the wait for our soufflé pancakes would be around 20 minutes, which seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again. read more

Cute Cafe. Interior still the same as before. Tried 3 different Matcha drinks. Ube, regular, and Strawberry. I requested it to be not as sweet and they delivered! They also carry macarons AND that popular Dubai Choco Chewy dessert. It's these little domes....thats fluffy and chewy at the same time! Though i think they sell out b/c it's such a hot commodity right now. read more

Basilur - Really love the centerpiece! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buena Park, California

This location is open again but different!! The SOUFFLÉ pancakes were delicious but bit more bready rather than fluffy and custardy, which I did enjoy a lot! With a variety of flavor options for the topping and cream. No more savory options like the previous menu. And no more ceramic tea pots which was a bit disappointing. Seems like it's just opening up again so I hope they figure things out. I will go back for the pancakes! read more

I'd like to come back when they have their full menu again. We went yesterday and they only had drinks and soufflé pancakes. It really pretty inside. I like that! Not sure why there are placemats on the seats... it's confusing. I think I saw they are in the middle of a soft opening? I've heard their sandwiches are good. Again, I'd like to come back when they have more on their menu. The services yesterday was quite slow. It took about 30 min for one soufflé pancake. But our coffees were pretty speedy. read more

Well i went on 12/31/25 and they were open! It truly is so beautiful in here. My friend and i went and got the make your own souffle which comes with 2 fluffy pancakes. I wanted matcha but they were out which was a bit confusing since it was only like 12:30pm. I got custard instead with strawberries. My friend got the strawberry cream. Both were incredible!! They are not too sweet which is great. I would love to try their towel cakes. Service was polite and helpful. Plenty of seating. It's in the source so there's parking. I would def come back! read more

Came in hoping to get some nice brunch to find out they only had 1 menu.. which was the souffle pancake. Even that they had limited selections. Supposedly they had change of ownership and is undergoing some changes? No sign, letting customer know of the situation. If I knew would have passed. It took them 30 min to to make and serve. 30 min! And we're the only customer. If it wasn't for my son, I would have just left. Oh and they gave us plastic fork and knife? What happened to balisur that served nice silverware and water?!?! This new management and or new ownership gone bad. read more

It's really cute inside here almost like a European style cafe. They have teas that look like books- nice lighting and even after noon tea and soon to be brunch. My favorites are the Japanese style soufflé pancakes with berries and syrup and the raspberry milk tea drink. Located inside the source first floor read more

This cutesy cafe spot is located on the first floor in the Source and it's not hard to miss with its interior and exterior being navy blue. It has that library type vibe decor and feels like a nice study spot because it's not too crowded nor loud. For breakfast, we ordered the fruit soufflé pancake and an avocado toast. I really enjoyed devouring the pancake because it was fluffy and the sweetness was not overpowering. This dish comes with strawberries, blueberries, and banana, so each bite of the pancake with whatever fruit creates a unique flavor. It may look basic at first, but the simplicity itself makes it grand. 5/5. As for the avocado toast, that was at most a 2/5. It was dry and the avocado looked old. The color was off too. Pretty sure anyone can make a better avocado toast for a way cheaper price. Service was nothing special, but the food came quick. If we do come back, I gotta try their teas. Maybe it. Better than Twisted teas. read more

Came in and the cashier was just staring at us without saying 'Hi' or anything at all. Awkward and unwelcoming from the start. The their breakfast menu is nothing but pancakes? No eggs, literally no other option, no pastries even, just pancakes....why even be a restaurant if you don't have a real menu? After we ordered, we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant and it took them close to 30 min to finish our order of pancakes? Is there even anyone in charge of the place or just the awkward teenage girl in the front? Definitely not worth the price and wait. Definitely would not recommend. read more

This place is STILL open. I don't know why Yelp has it as "permanently closed." The man is making our coffees right now and people are about to order. read more

They barely have any menu items and drink menu is also limited. Everything I seen online they didn't have and even the limited menu they showed me in person the thing I wanted to order they also didn't have. It's pretty but the menu for food and drinks is disappointing read more

Cute little casual place to meet up for a coffee or light brunch. I went twice in a month and both times I remember the place being quiet and quaint. The soufflé pancakes really stand out on the menu and are worth trying once, but in terms of flavors, nothing too noteworthy. In fact, the first time I visited, each of my girlfriends and I ordered a different flavor so we could try them all, and they were all very one note and similar. I think the tiramisu was my fave out of the bunch. Another visit, I ordered Benedicts and they were ok. read more

This place is in a complex and it is on the first floor. The afternoon tea set is $37 per person. It comes with the following for each person: - Cucumber sandwich - Egg sandwich - some type of muffin with a raspberry or strawberry filling - plain scone with a cup of cream and preserve, and some fresh strawberries on the side - 3 types of mousses (a blackberry cheesecake one, a tiramisu, and one that had 3 layers of fruit) - a red velvet whoopie pie - chocolate ganache The tea I got was raspberry and rosehip. As you can tell from the list of items, a majority of the items are sweet and not enough savory. Even the cucumber and egg sandwich were not savory. The cream cheese or whatever spread they put on the sandwiches tasted kind of sweet too. It was honestly a let down. I was expecting more from the afternoon set and it was difficult to enjoy and finish. We were a party of three and none of us finished. The raspberry rosehip was sweet and it was good. The service is pretty much nonexistent after they give you the tea and afternoon tea set. The did not give any sugar or napkins or check-in afterwards. read more

Very cute and decorative place. I came with a friend on a Wednesday an evening, the friend actually came to this place a while ago and wanted to try it out again. We ordered the afternoon tea, you get to choose two different tea leaves (English breakfast black tea and some kind of ginger tea). And it comes with a tower of sandwiches and desserts. Roughly 80$ for two people. The staff gave us a number so we can sit down and wait, we got our teas first and cute cups with plates. Sugar and cream and stirrers are on the front near the register. We did have to wait a while for the tower of food to arrive. It was cute and adorable, looks better and mostly great for a photo than a meal but definitely an array of indulgent items. It came with 2 cucumber sandwiches, 2 egg salad sandwiches, 2 scones with jam and cream (cream was amazing), 2 macaroons, 2 mini muffins, a cup of fruit cream and a cup of chocolate cream. Everything was very decadent, it's a lot of sugar and carbs but also very enjoyable and fun! As a treat I'd definitely think it's nice once in a while, but it's also a good thing to take your time so best not as a quick snack. There was only one unisex Restroom inside the cafe near the back. There are plenty of seating area and tables so howling it isn't an issue with overcrowding on weekends. read more

If you're looking for an aesthetic experience, this is a place I'd recommend to check out. As soon as you walk in you're hit with an artsy vibe--I was reminded a bit of Harry Potter/Wizarding World--but not exactly so it's open to your own interpretation. The Huz wanted a whole Ube Cheesecake (even before trying it because he had faith it was gonna be good--it's also close to $30 at the time of our visit) but we were told that it wasn't available. I don't know if we were feeling moody this day, but it rubbed us the wrong way that it was on the menu but not available. What was available was a slice ($7.00 at the time of our visit), so with a little confusion (like, if you have slices, why don't you have a whole one?) we got one to try. When we received the slice, we were taken aback at how small it was. I think we were expecting a size closer to the ones offered at the famous cheesecake franchise. The cheesecake was good, creamy and all that. We also got an Ube Latte and Strawberry Matcha Latte--both beautifully presented. The taste, pretty good. Overall, we had a good experience. Just not necessarily a repeatable experience for us. read more

After seeing so many fluffy souffle style pancakes online, I had to try them out here. Unfortunately, they were two sad and flat layers of unflavorful pancakes. What a disappointment. The drinks were decent at least especially the midnight milk tea and matcha strawberry. But now I am on the hunt for super fluffy pancakes elsewhere! Onward! read more

Cold brew was alright, just a little too sour for me! Loved the cream though! The eggs benedict was also just alright--I liked the pancake combo with it, which I found rare, as biscuits or more harder breads seem to come with the dish. However, I do have a huge qualm about the egg sandwich, which doesn't seem to be listed on the yelp--it was $7 for two slices of bread and barely any filling (less than a cm of egg filling). Overall nice workers and vibe, but the egg sandwich was appalling. read more

Located on the 1st floor of The Source OC. Beautiful ambiance inside with cozy seating and casual vibes. Outdoor seating also available. We came here for the Soufflé pancakes. So we ordered and shared the Ube Soufflé Pancakes. Boy, it did not disappoint! Fluffy and served decorated with a cute ube bear cream "frosting" which was not too sweet nor too bland-it was just right. Perfect for sharing. We also got their avocado toast and croissant sandwich. Both were good. The croissant sandwich was surprisingly good and satisfying, highly recommend as a savory option. For coffee, we got a Spanish latte, served in a togo cup. Nothing to write home about, but it satisfied my coffee fix. I docked one star because for some reason, at 1:30 pm the kitchen was out of Benedict dishes. So that's how we settled on the avocado toast. Order, pay, then they give you a number to display and food is delivered to your table, no need to get back up once seated, which we like. Convenient, friendly service. read more

Plain Soufflé Pancake: I will return for this. This was most enjoyed for me eating tiny bites. The only thing I feel could be improved is if the cream is consistently cold throughout eating the dish. The coolness of the cream really complements the subtle warmth of the pancake. Their may be a time component too to be as unbiased as possible so make sure to not allow the cream to sit for too long or it may absorb the warmth of the soufflé. If you want to maximize how coldness of the cream, MAYBE get the cream on the side. Do not shy away from the cream though. It elevates the dish. Custard Soufflé Pancake: The cream was a bit much for me. The Soufflé Pancake is beautiful by itself with cream and a strawberry. read more

Met up with a friend for a Saturday morning breakfast. This place had been popping up in a few foodie threads. This place is in a very huge shopping center that from the street doesn't really look like much but once inside the center it has a ton of great shopping and food places including this gem. First the decor is so cute, from the book nook to the velvet chairs and hanging lights. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the menu was pretty easy to navigate. The pancakes were so good! No syrup needed, so fluffy and light and the amazing whipped cream and fruit were the perfect sweetness. Vietnamese coffee was good too. The bathroom wasn't super clean and I noticed some holes in the fabric of the booth. Tables were a bit wobbly. Minor things that just slightly detracted from the vibe, but the pancakes make up for it! read more

Came here for a fun birthday breakfast as I always wanted to try this style of pancakes! However my hopes were absolutely crushed. Me and my sister came here yesterday at about 11AM and we were the only people there this entire visit. We place our order and got 3 macarons and then ordered our two orders of pancakes. The interior was cute and the young girl greeted us and was nice. The real issue started when me and my sister were sitting there for 30 minutes with zero communication. We watched the girl take her break and some other worker started taking out a bunch of trash. That was about 10-15 minutes in. Me and my sister just assumed they were making them fresh from scratch? Then it finally hits 30 minutes and the girl comes up to us and says their machine is being weird and has been and that it will be another 10 minutes OR MORE! Me and my sister had birthday plans for me and it was already 12PM!! We were very disappointed and ended up having to ask for a refund and head out. They refunded the entire amount at least and were very apologetic. Seems like the place has potential but they need to figure out what they are doing back there! There's better places in The Source and we got food from another place in 5 minutes. We were very upset and will not be returning and I highly recommend going to the many other pancake places around as a stack of pancakes with fruit and no sides for that price is crazy on top of the chaos. read more

Really cute brunch (?) cafe at The Source. It's got that whole dark academia aesthetic going for it, which is a nice change to the bright, minimal usual stylings of cafes. Stopped in for some coffee and a light bite to eat to share amongst friends. Sweet and savory souffle pancakes, dessert, coffee and tea on the menu. Fruit Souffle Pancakes - a short stack of two souffle pancakes topped with whipped cream and a couple of berries; strawberry and blueberry. it was perfectly sweetened by their whipped cream and the souffle was airy and light. Wish they included a third pancake as this portion is small for the price. Egg's Benedict on Souffle Pancake - this was very interesting as it's a traditional Egg's Benedict served not on an English muffin but on a pancake instead. It went well together, the combination of savory and sweet. Eggs poached well and silky smooth hollandaise. The portion of salad was perfect and well dressed. Service was relatively quick. Order at the cashier, take a number and your items brought to you. There is indoor and outdoor dining. read more

Came here to study and do some work or even chill! I came here several times before because it's a good go-to. When you step in it's a really nice and classy looking cafe to be in. Lots of people come through here at night so sometimes it gets a little lively. It's a great place to either hang around, or even do some work here (could be noisy for some, but I'm able to ignore it all). Service is decent, but can get busy sometimes! Their drinks are pretty good! Most people get the ube lattes and such, which are a good go-to drink to go for if you don't know what to get. Also had their blood orange cocktail which is a really nice sweet drink! It's a good standard place to go to, there's not too much that stands out, but I just think it's a great place to sit down at for all kinds of occasions. I see people of all ages come through here! Parking is at the source! Plenty of parking! It's located in the bottom floor! read more

Stopped by Basilur Tea & Coffee at The Source in Buena Park and had a great experience. We ordered the Ube Cold Brew and Iced Americano. The cashier was super knowledgeable and recommended the Ube Cold Brew, which is one of their popular choices--and it did not disappoint! The flavor was unique and delicious. The Iced Americano was good, though pretty standard, but still hit the spot. The cafe itself is really cute, with a mix of cozy coffee shop vibes and a touch of elegant tea time decor. They have plenty of seating options, from tables and chairs to comfy booths, making it a great place to relax. I didn't get to try any food this time, but I did notice they offer an afternoon tea service, which looked amazing. I'll definitely be back to try that! If you're looking for a cute spot to grab a coffee or tea with friends or just unwind, Basilur is worth a visit! read more

Cute breakfast/brunch spot! Staff was friendly and the kitchen was quick. Orders: Ube waffle: they gave us a HUGE scoop of ube ice cream! It was pretty much dessert for breakfast. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The interior was a vibrant purple from the ube. Fruit was a nice touch. Banana soufflé pancake: one of the fluffiest pancakes I've ever eaten. The whipped cream was so good. Very light, not too sweet. It was good with and without the bananas. We had the caramel on the side to control the sweetness. Ube latte: not bad, but wouldn't order again. A but too sweet for my taste. Hazelnut latte: the bear latte art was super cute. Coffee wasn't too strong. Overall, a pleasant experience! read more

I was so happy to have found this place at the source! It's a small cute cafe with lots of drinks and decent seating. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict and the fruit soufflé pancakes! It was my first time trying soufflé pancakes and this place definitely raised my standards. It came with fresh bananas, strawberries and blueberries topped with lightly whipped cream. The smoked salmon benedict was my favorite as the savory topping paired really well with the soufflé pancake base. The salad on the side was really fresh too. The service was great and I will have to try one of their drinks next time! read more

The worst time to go is right when they open. They don't have much seating when it gets busy. The person helping us when ordering was very friendly. It's gets pretty loud when there are a lot of people but it's not too bad. Now the brunch food... Not impressed. Portions were pretty small. I have a cheese allergy and they didn't mention there would be cheese on the salad that comes with the Benedict. Doesn't come with any potatoes or anything. For what they are charging, you would think there would be more. Everything we ordered was just okay. I don't think I'll go back for their food. Honestly, their drinks aren't that great either. read more

There's probably like 5 coffee shops at The Source so which one do you go for? The right answer is all of them. But since you're at Basilur then we'll talk about that. I'm a sucker for a good Spanish latte and yeah, this one checks out. Just the right mix of sweetness and caffeine to keep me functioning throughout the day. If that's not enough, then enjoy it in the cafe where the vibes are nice and peaceful/aesthetic, at least until all the young people start piling in. Either way, it's good coffee, probably good food if you opt for it, and good vibes all around. read more

Came here for quick brunch one weekend because of the souffle pancakes I saw posted on this Yelp page. This place can get a bit busy where all the indoor seats are all taken up. However, there's always outdoor dining tables that are available. We got lucky and snagged the last open table inside on a cold rainy. What really impressed me was the eggs benedict dish. Instead of using English muffins for the base, they actually use souffle pancake instead. It's wonderful and it's a game changer! Overall this place is cute and has a cozy vibe. The food is great and so are the drinks. read more
