The food is the best my personal favorite was the waffle the service is great as well they great you so welcomed the vibes are everything especially if you go and sit in the back it's so nice to sit there for the breakfast and the tree is honestly one of my personal best parts about the place

Added additional photos as we ate here if not daily every other day while visiting for 6 days. My hubby forgot to take pics of his burger & fries that he also enjoyed

Cane here for a business breakfast with a friend. Great service, my simple breakfast of two over easy eggs, crispy bacon and hash browns potatoes was an excellent way to start my day.

When we walked in, we were welcomed with the friendliest greeting. The guy asked if we wanted to dine inside or outside and I said outside, so he walked us to the outdoor seating area and we were able to choose any spot we liked. Inside, we saw a sign for White Chocolate Macadamia Pancakes. I immediately said ohh I'd like to try that. But then in the back of my head said that'll never happen because I doubt it is gluten free. BUT then when we saw our menus, I was very happily surprised that they could make their pancakes gluten free. I liked that when our food was brought to us, we were reminded, they were gluten free pancakes (this sets my mind at ease because then I feel comfortable that the chef didn't forget and make them with gluten). We were also given warm syrup and warm butter. I was very excited. The first bite I think my eyes got big. They were so good! We ordered 4 pancakes and another entree. And I ate 3 of the 4 they were just so good! For the pancakes alone I would give this place 5 stars! Unfortunately the other entree we got was underwhelming. It wasn't bad, just okay. We got the Steak, Mashed potatoes and veggies. The mashed potatoes were bland and def needed the gravy for flavoring. I am allergic to cruciferous foods so I couldn't try the veggies. The steak was decent. For sure if we go back again I want more pancakes, maybe I'll try different ones. The ambiance of the outdoors was nice. It was a clear sunny day and perfect to be outside. There's a fully outdoors section and a covered outdoor section. I chose the covered area and it was perfect.

The staff is very friendly. We were greeted from the start and felt very welcomed. The outdoor dining area feels very warm and inviting. It feels like an family members backyard. The pancakes were next level delicious. Highly recommend the pancakes. This is a great place for a date or to come with friends.

We found a restaurant close to where we were staying! Vivian's was so unassuming but surprising. You walk into the store front and there is limited inside seating. We decided to go with outdoor seating because the weather was good and we like being outside. That was a good idea to go with the patio seating. We went there between 10:30 am - 11:00 am (after breakfast/before lunch). There was a disclaimer to watch out for falling avocados. The rains this past year brought in a good bumper crop and a possibility of getting clocked by a falling avocado. We lucked out. Service was good and efficient. I had the salmon omlette and asked for the salmon on the side. I should have committed and had it inside the omelette because it was just eggs/onions with salmon on the side. If I go back, I would try the waffle. My friend had that and I was a little envious. Parking is offstreet. Restrooms are outside (did not use it).

I have always passed by this restaurant and would say "I need to eat at Vivian's Millennium Cafe one of these days". Well a few friends and I were in Studio City one day and were ready for lunch. We went to Vivian's Millennium Cafe and the food, wait staff and ambiance was amazing. There were 6 of us so we sat in the well shaded back patio. The menu has great breakfast and lunch items. We had ordered a variety of delicious items: hamburgers, fries, sandwiches, cole slaw, French toast with bacon and eggs just to name a few foods. There's parking meters right outside of the restaurant or you can park in the residential side streets. Just read the street parking signs carefully or you might get a parking ticket. The cafe also has fun merchandise: hats and t-shirts with their logo on it!

Located in Studio City and serving patrons since 1964, Vivian's is a classic diner option in the valley. It's very small on the inside with only a few large tables. They also have more seating in the back, but we were able to find a seat for two in the front for a 10:30 Sunday brunch. They don't have a dedicated parking lot so it will be metered street parking, which is not that hard to find in the valley. Our server was polite and all of our items came out quickly. I am giving 4/5 stars because the food quality isn't as good as some other places close by like More Than Waffles, Bob's, or Paty's and the inside could use a cleaning. The floor was very dirty under our table and the table next to us even complained about it. I started off with a Coffee, which is my go to order at any diner. For my meal I chose the Eggs Benedict with a Biscuit on the side. The Eggs Benedict had a nice flavor but the eggs were undercooked and runny. They did not have the true poached consistency with the yolk covering the dish, it was too watery and splashed out as soon as I cut into it. Also the biscuit was as flat as an English muffin and really lacked the biscuit or buttermilk flavor. We also ordered the 2x2x2 and the pancakes were actually very good, but it's also very hard to mess up pancakes. It was not a bad meal by any means, but certainly not as good of one as others I have had close by on the same street. Overall I would say it could be an option if you're already in the valley and the more popular spots have too long of wait times.

This is truly one of those hidden gems in the valley. It's so inconspicuous on the outside but a nice place for brunch on the inside. What I like most is their garden patio in the back. There are plants everywhere because the restaurant is a house converted into a restaurant. So the backyard is full of the owners former plants. Don't miss the largest avocado tree! Well it is so big you won't miss it! Just look up. I have never needed a reservation here but they do close early after breakfast time. There is patio seating on the perimeter for your little doggies. The busser even gave ours a little bowl of water! The servers are attentive and friendly. The coffee keeps flowing over here. The food is consistently good. It's got american classic style of food. They have food from the griddle, eggs, and my favorite are their home fries. Chopped up potatoes with onions and peppers. You will see the prices are reasonable for the amount of food. The ambiance is relaxing since you can eat in a garden tucked away just off the boulevard. Much of the seating is shaded too which is nice for hot valley days. The worst part of this location is looking for parking. You could try street parking or parking across in the big Ralph's lot. I would recommend for an elevated diner like experience.
