Came here on a Saturday around 9:45 a.m., so it wasn't too busy yet. We sat outside and had a great experience. Service was quick, our server was attentive, and our food came out pretty fast. The wild blueberry pancakes were fluffy and had just the right amount of blueberries. The chilaquiles were flavorful, and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly. I only wish the tortilla chips had stayed a little crunchier instead of getting soft in the sauce. Overall, we really enjoyed our breakfast and would definitely come back again.
Are you in the mood for some delicious chilaquiles or country fried steak? Look no further because Mari Vees is the place to be. The food quality and quantity surpassed my expectations. The service was quick since we did get there at 8 am but the food quality didn't lack based on the quick service. I'm excited to come back and try their matcha/chicken Cesar salad wrap. (Street parking available but limited)
My aunt and I were looking for a new lunch spot and we totally found it here at Mari Vees. We came around 9:45 on a Thursday morning and there was no wait. We chose to sit inside, but they also have patio seating as well. We quickly ordered their My pistachio latte and cafe latte. The Cafe latte came out really hot (which is what we wanted) but my pistachio latte was lukewarm and it had more of a Matcha flavor to it than pistachio. Both looked so cute and tasted good but I preferred their cafe latte. My aunt ordered their American Breakfast and I ordered their Good Morning Omelette (basically build your own omelette). Their dishes were really good, especially their home fries. My aunts eggs and bacon came out perfect. My omelette tasted really fresh with lots of fresh veggies, like spinach, mushrooms, and ham. The only hiccup that we had was that the food took almost an hour to come out. I think they had an issue with the ticket, and didn't get put in so it came out way later. Our waiter Fabian was very apologetic and gave us a discount on our bill. Because of the friendly service and the good food, we will definitely be back to try other items.
Had breakfast here for the first time and I absolutely loved everything about this cute little cafe. They serve a variety of dishes that are generously portioned. Our favorite was their blueberry French toast and huevo rancheros. The cherry on top was the service. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The background music was just right for a beautiful Sunday morning. They have an outdoor patio as well and parking is plenty. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!
Mari Vees is a brunch and lunch spot located in San Marino. They don't take reservations and there was a bit of a wait on the weekend so we eventually decided to split our group of four so we could get seated and eating sooner. They serve your classic American breakfast fare like waffles and pancakes but also serve other breakfast foods like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and loco moco. I ordered the champ ($25) which was a massive burger containing beef, cheddar, bacon, pastrami, and avocado. Note that it also comes with a lot of mustard; fortunately I didn't mind but it was a surprising amount if you're not a fan of it. I also tried and liked the breakfast burrito ($20). They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's some street parking just outside. I don't know if I was just hungry but everything on the menu looked good so I'll have to come by to try their other offerings.
Such an amazing find!! My daughter has been to Mari Vees before and was craving their chicken ceasar salad wrap. She asked if we can go so we went around 1pm on a Saturday before her eye appt. Cute family owned shop and the wait wasn't long at all. We waited no more than 10 mins. I ordered the impossible smash burger and the hubby got the country fried steak with a banana walnut pancake. I wish I asked for extra vanilla in my vanilla latte but the art... perfection. Would come back again. Especially to try the chicken and waffles :)
This place is a very cute and small breakfast/lunch spot I seen driving by. The staff is very friendly, excellent customer service. The food items are simple, but delicious with every bite. I was a happy customer.
This is different than my usual reviews, as I'd much rather elevate businesses and support their growth rather than point out the negatives. But this one deserves a bit more detail for the 3 stars. We came here at my husband's cravings for eggs Benedict for his birthday brunch. It was a Saturday around 1PM. There were crowds, but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. I will say they seemed well staffed, which made service feel prompt and welcomed. Everyone in the team appeared friendly. The person who made our lattes also made an effort to clarify our order (lattes with Oatmilk with cream foam - which u know can be confusing. I'm giving up whole milk for the fats and lactose, but a little bit of cream won't hurt). We chose Mari Vees over other nearby spots mainly because of the style and ambiance, which truly delivered... beautiful, modern, and inviting on Yelp. We ordered the iced Spanish latte, iced matcha latte, classic eggs Benedict, and chilaquiles with beef. As soon as the plates landed on our table, before we even had a chance to taste anything, a well-dressed gentleman (who seemed more senior than the rest of the staff) came over and asked how everything was. We felt compelled to give the automatic "everything is good." To be fair, the flavors did hit the spot. The lattes were yummy (and shoutout to the cute aesthetics), the chilaquiles were perfectly savory, and the sauce on the eggs Benedict was rich and creamy. However, the reason this lands at 3 stars is the eggs Benedict itself. The poached eggs were overcooked. Poached eggs should be runny and creamy, not firm. We brought this up to our server, Jeremiah, but he responded that it was "poached hard." I was confused... was that intentional? I checked the menu again (good thing I take pictures), and it simply says "poached eggs." Later, when we were paying, the same gentleman returned, who I inquired and learned goes by the name, Victor. This time, he didn't ask about our experience, but I knew I had to say something. I shared praise along with a lighthearted and humorous question about the overcooked eggs. He admitted they should be runny and said "we should have told them"... BUT WE DID! I debated addressing it in person versus sharing here on Yelp. Unfortunately, it felt like the team wasn't equipped to properly handle feedback. Instead of acknowledging the issue, we felt dismissed and gaslighted. I still gave a 18% tip (our total was $60+) , slight lower than our usual 20%... but I know everyone works hard in there. Overall, it had the potential to be a great experience, but the mishap left a sour note and pretty much ruined our afternoon. Not sure we'll be back.
Amazing find. I must've passed this place a million times but never noticed it. I'm glad my sister recommended it for our sister date. Decent prices, delicious food and coffee, and a super friendly staff. Definitely try the blueberry French toast. It was my favorite part.
Let's start with service! Outstanding Teamwork! Everyone helping all of the customers, not just the assigned table, Great JOB!! Food quality was spot on in flavors and Portions! Definitely a must try! Will be coming back. Thank you!
The service was great and the ambiance was lovely. My waffle was good, they syrup was a highlight, and the berries were sweet and fresh. But everything was made with subpar ingredients. The whipped cream was oil based and not at all delicious. The hot chocolate I ordered was made by a machine, and tasted mostly of water and the aforementioned oily whipped cream. It was cute but not tasty. My eggs seemed fake as well, very oily and bland. My friend ordered an omelet and reported that the sausage tasted odd. The egg was prepared like a tortilla and the long list of vegetables were just slapped inside instead of incorporated into the dish. She ordered a pancake because the omelet was such a disappointment I'm longing for a good pancake place with really butter. This is not the place.
Surprisingly easy to get a walk-in table for our larger group on a Saturday morning during brunch. So props for that. However, taking a star off for the awkward bathroom experience- you have to meander through the kitchen and it's in the back by the dishwasher. Food was okay- my husband liked his big burger. My tomato soup was okay- didn't know if it was house made? And my sister thought the chilaquiles was too soggy.
Of all the food I had in LA during my quick 3-day trip, Mari Vees was my favorite. Charming little restaurant in Pasadena that has that Spanish architecture and aesthetic. Our waitress was very friendly and checked in on us often. I was debating between chilaquiles and the banana walnut pancakes so she suggested I get a single pancake and the chilaquiles. I decided to try chilaquiles for the first time finally! It is something I have wanted to try for a long time but wanted to find a place that specializes in it, and seeing that it was the most photographed entree on yelp, I knew I was in for a treat! It was so good I let out an "mmm" my first few bites. The tortilla chips weren't soggy and retained some crunch despite being drenched in delicious sauce. Love the drizzle of sour cream and I think crumbles of queso fresco on top. The fresh avocado and onion paired perfectly as well, as did the runny egg yolk. If I lived in the area I'd be back all the time. The banana walnut pancake was deliciousss, I absolutely loved the maple butter it came with. There was banana and walnut pieces in the pancake batter as well as on top. So good. Finally, I loved my refreshing Iced Spanish Latte. The cream foam on top with cinnamon gave it a powerful finish. Nice and sweet as I like it thanks to the condensed milk :)
Had this bookmarked for a while since spotting it while trying Dumpling Bar. which is next door, a year or more ago. It took over the space which used to be a fish restaurant. I liked the pics on Yelp and so finally got to try it for brunch this week, and boy is this place GOOD! Parking can be a drag even on a weekday mid-morning despite there being a good amount of parking spots on the entire block. That was a hassle. Once I found something, I went into the place, which is a small breakfast joint - not divey or anything, but also not particularly decorated. Didn't really matter though. The star for me were the pancakes. I got the blueberry pancakes, a side of bacon, a side of their breakfast potatoes, and a glass of fresh lemonade. The lemonade was good and clearly made fresh in-house, I think. The bacon was good, but bacon is always good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, which was good because lately I've tried way too many breakfast places with bland, sad potatoes. Not here. The pancakes were amazing. They are super fresh and fluffy and served with an amazing cookie butter syrup. It may sound sweet, but it's not overly so. I honestly think these are some of the best pancakes I've had in many years in all of Los Angeles. They were honestly that good. And, I don't usually rave about pancakes very often. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The place was doing a good amount of business considering I went when most people should be in school or work and too early for lunch. I highly recommend you try this place at least for breakfast, though they also serve lunch. It's a real gem, and I can't wait to go back! read more

Went on a Thursday morning and ordered the steamed burger, Caesar wrap, spicy fish tacos, a waffle, and a side of sausage. Overall, I'd give everything a solid 8/10, except for the spicy fish tacos. The sauce on the side was really bland and mostly tasted like crushed tomatoes, and the tacos themselves just didn't do it for me. They were the only thing I had to force myself to finish. The customer service was friendly, we enjoyed eating outside, and the rest of the food was tasty enough that I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. Every place has a miss now and then, so I'm looking forward to giving them another shot. read more

Hi Neha, thank you so much for this amazing review! It truly means a…
Hubby & I have really been enjoying Mari Vees! Weekend brunch/lunch time can get quite crowded and wait times may be over 30 mins., so just be prepared as they do have a sign-in sheet waitlist that is pretty much first-come-first-serve. Portions here are big & prices are standard/reasonable as any other brunch/lunch place in the area. Both indoor & outdoor seating is available. Restaurant inside is clean and bright. They have a board on the wall with their specials (not sure how often they change). Hubby has enjoyed their "Champ" Burger (comes with a basket of Fries) & Breakfast Burrito (comes with Chips & salsa). I'm a big fan of their Chilaquiles (added beef/steak) because they do a great job soaking the chips in their salsa rojo. (My only small gripe is I wish they had some pickled veggies with it to make it really the best I've ever had, lol). Their Mari Vees Omelet was fluffy & filling, would recommend as well. Hubby really wishes they would have just a pastrami sandwich/burger available from the pastrami of "The Champ!!" burger and I agree. The burger is filling, but can get a little messy. We had bites of just the pastrami and it is *chef's kiss* so we can only imagine if it was on its own in a sandwich that it'd be quite good as well! All the coffee I've tried so far has been good. Their Iced Spanish Latte is refreshing if it's warm out & their Mocha (mix it, even if you ruin the cute foam stamp) is a cinnamon-ey chocolately warm coffee for those chillier days. One unisex restroom available Parking is limited to street parking on Huntington Dr. or nearby neighborhood cross streets (i.e. San Marino Ave.) if you don't mind the walk. read more

I was hesitant about this restaurant after I read a few reviews regarding the service and the price. We came for Sunday brunch and there was a little wait. We were served in a couple of minutes. The server showed us the menu and recommended a few popular dishes as this was our first time. When we were ready, the server came and took our order. It was a full house and everyone was busy serving food and taking order. Our coffee came first and it was amazing. I ordered a cafe latte and my daughter ordered an iced latte. Both tasted delicious. I ordered the omelette and my daughter had the classic egg Benedict. Both are amazing. My portion was so big that I had to take half home. Food tasted great, good temperature and fresh. As for the prices, I think most restaurants charge about this price, especially in this surrounding area. We'd love to come back to try their signature pancake and spicy fish taco. More to come! read more

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for giving us a chance and for taking the…
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep: the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. Let's begin this review. Mari Vees is a midsize breakfast/lunch cafe snuggled in the heart of an upper middle class San Marino of SGV. Owned and operated by Mr. Roger Valdez. We came on a first weekend of December to have a bday breakfast. We were seated quickly. Interior design and space layout were modest and a bit restricted, respectively. When the cafe is at full capacity (during weekends) you might feel claustrophobic and inevitably hear other customer's conversation due to the extreme proximity between tables. However, they have some outdoor seats for customers as well. They used to have QR menu on each table and now have paper menu. We had The Mari Vee pancakes ($19) with wild blueberry that comes with a thick, rich warm Maple Butter and a Spanish Omelette. Their Drip coffee and Mocha Latte ($5.50) were great. Prices were competitive. Service was on point. Atmosphere vibe can be relaxing if it's not crowded. Free Street Parking available. Overall, we enjoyed their service, food and hot coffee. I suggest you arrive early morning due to its popularity and to avoid the feeling of being cramped. read more

11/19/25 It's been a while since Ive been disappointed. Like most would sadly say, "I really wanted to love this place", especially after reading Yelp Friends' reviews. It's a lovely place, a few indoor seating (about 40 ppl) & a handful outdoor seating that is also shared with next door businesses. It's a cute breakfast/brunch space. On a random Wednesday about 11:30 we were seated promptly. Our server, Marielos, greeted us & took our drink orders, regular brewed coffee for me & an almond latte for Hubby. He said he ordered a coffee cake but he didn't receive it, even as he mention it to our server twice. My coffee was decent. Hubby's almond latte looked so cute with the latte art of Stitch, but sadly, it tasted like regular coffee with foam. He tasted it & didn't bother to drink the rest. Got chicken (tenders instead of wings, in hindsight I should've gone with the wings) & waffles, Huevos Rancheros for Hubby. When our food promptly arrived, it was, Wow and then we dug in. Disappointment started to set in (well the latter was the intro). My waffle did not taste freshly made, like it's Leggo heated up, the chicken tender looked a little dark, when I cut it up, it was tough. One dude was a bit rubbery & the other side was hard to pierce through. It tasted spongy. I know i should've mentioned it to our server but I tried to get through it. Now kicking myself for not saying anything but at this point, looking back, it probably wouldn't have mattered. Hubby was not happy with his dish, he said "that was the most unfulfilling Huevos rancheros I ever had". He was really hungry do he ate it anyway. He said to rate it 2.5 stars. On the way out, our server noticed Hubby's latte was barely sipped & asked if she could make another one. I said no, it's alright but she insisted to make up for it. She offered a matcha latte on the house. I buckled because she looked like wanted to make it right. It was made in record time for to go. Instead of almond, I asked for oat milk to see if it would make a difference. Like I mentioned earlier, it probably wouldn't have mattered coz the matcha latte was just okay, it tasted watered down just like Hubby's latte. It is either a heavy heart I rated it a 3 stars, only because the server wanted to make it right in the end but the food & drinks were a bust. Did we just order the wrong things? read more

Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.…
I had a great time here. The waiters are attentive and I believe that was the business owner who came and check up on my brother and I. The ambiance well they have an inside and an outside place for you to sit. I sat in the inside and it is medium size area. The food was amazing the reviews are accurate. I enjoyed the banana and walnut pancakes and they were so fluffy. My brother got a burrito and it was so packed and a great size burrito. I got some tostada with egg on top. I want to come back for more pancakes and the matcha Oreo was okay. I do want to try their coffee selections. read more

Great Brunch spot in San Marino! Parking is pretty easy in front, street-side. Staff are pretty quick and efficient. I appreciate they accommodated our large party on a busy Saturday. Food was great! Their pancakes are fluffy and flavorful- I really enjoyed their Blueberry pancake. If you like less sweet just a dash of the syrup is perfect, but if you have sweet tooth then add the whole side on. Their Breakfast burrito was solid as well, with side of chips crunchy and hit the spot. Salsa was mild but still flavorful. We thought the standout was their Sizzling fish- 5/5 of amazingness. Fresh, flavorful, and uniquely done. Highly recommend. So close to giving the full 5 stars (would give 4.5) but wish that we could have had our waters refilled, but understood they were packed and busy. Overall a great place to try and will be back! read more

This was a brunch cafe that is open daily They're open daily 8am-3pm except Monday Parking was ok but could be difficult since it's shared with other businesses They serve breakfast and lunch items that are served all day but expect to pay ~$20/dish Service was ok and not too attentive Inside was small and didn't have too much seating but there was also utdoor seating Orange Juice ($5) was ok and nothing special. I was expecting freshly squeezed orange juice but it didn't taste fresh so it was most likely just store bought so this was 5/10 Classic Egg Benedict ($19) was quite disappointing. The poached eggs were too overly cooked and it wasn't tasty. The muffin didn't seem fresh and wasn't toasted enough. The potatoes were decent and was somewhat crispy and slightly too salty. Overall, it felt overpriced especially since the portion was pretty small so this was 6/10 Overall, I wasn't impressed so I most likely won't return or recommend unfortunately read more

Ok, you didn't like the service or the food!!! If the OJ was fresh…
We stopped by for lunch after enjoying Lacy Park. It was an impromptu lunch and we enjoyed it. I liked my huevos rancheros and my partner had the chicken Caesar wrap. This was very delicious. read more

Got here on a Sunday around 10am and got seated right away - they have both indoor and outdoor seating. When I first got the menu to look at, the server came over to me and abruptly flipped to the drinks menu and said here are the drinks we have - slightly awkward but maybe I'm overthinking this. I ended up getting the Mari Vees omelette and matcha latte. The potatoes are cooked to perfection and the portion is very decent! The omelette has a good mix of veggies (mushrooms, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, and others) and sausage. The eggs are very fluffy and soft! The matcha latte is slightly underwhelming - it's a bit too grainy for my taste but I do like the unsweetened option. When I left, there's a long line already! There's ample street parking right outside! read more

Hi Katherine, thanks for the review. I am glad you liked your food!…
I ordered a chicken caesar wrap togo! The server who helped me was super friendly and attentive to detail. There's an outdoor seating on the patio, but they also have seating inside. The inside is a little small so be aware if you are bringing a big party! read more

Thanks for your review Lina. Thanks for welcoming us to the…
We wanted to get Sunday brunch, and chose to stop by. Street parking only, but it was not difficult to find parking. Both indoor and outdoor seats were available. We put our name on the sign-in paper at the front, and were being seated shortly after. Minimum and clean decoration, which made me feel comfortable. Service was fast. We ordered a matcha latte, tuna melt panini, and chilaquiles with beef (+$6). Matcha latter was a bit too sweet, but still have a strong taste of matcha. Chilaquiles was a disappointment! It was tasteless and dry. The egg was not running, and tasted like rubber. Beef was chopped into tiny side that was closed to ground beef. The beef was chewy and tasteless. It came with onion, but the onion was raw. It would be nice if it was pickled onion. The tuna melt was decent, and the fries that came with it was very good! The fries was the best in this meal (2 stars for the fries). Not worth to add $6 beef for chilaquiles. Price is a bit on the pricey side. Will probably not stop by again. read more

It was so loud and echo-y in this restaurant. Something about the space just bounces sound around. The pancakes were disappointing. They were very thick and doughy. The "syrup" we were given was very oily and overly sweet. I think it's margarine mixed with pancake syrup? Either way, it might appeal to a child but it was inedible as an adult. Staff were inattentive during the meal and we had to flag someone down to pay after sitting for a while. Overall, I had a bad experience here and will not be back. read more

There's plenty of street parking right along Huntington. There's indoor and outdoor seating that's great for hangout with friends and family. The staff were friendly and check in with you frequently. The food arrived at a good time. I got the breakfast burrito and it was good. Hot and fresh, cheesy and dense. It'll definitely make you full of not leave leftovers. The chips are salsa are okay. Overall, I'd like to return again. read more

Thanks for the review Francisco. We are glad you liked the service…
I recently tried this place and had a pretty good experience overall. The Champ burger was really good, super flavorful and definitely the standout item of the meal. I'd recommend trying that if you go. The pancakes were also really good, fluffy and sweet, and a great option if you're in the mood for breakfast. I personally wouldn't opt for the chilaquiles again though. They just weren't my favorite and didn't stand out compared to the other items. The service was great and there's also a boba spot next to it that was pretty good too. read more
