I've been coming here for the past three years. The food and the drinks are amazing! I recommend that breakfast bacon burrito, and an ice Matcha! Great vibes, super friendly staff and the owner is also super cool! 20 out of 10 recommend basil and cheese - @_chrisurias

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in LA and their food menu remains unrivaled. Not only is everything is made fresh to order, but the owner and staff are warm, kind people. The brew is delicious, and the chorizo breakfast burrito with tater tots is insane. Fresh bagels and pastries too! If you're with friends or just riding solo for a book read or some work Basil and Cheese is the perfect place.

Took way too long to get our food, it almost felt as if they completely forgot about our order.We ordered two burritos & and omelette. The establishment was full, but for what they were serving I don't believe it should've taken 30 min to get our foodIt was hard to find seating as well since they were so busy. The food was alright, definitely lacking flavor, maybe more salt would help?? It's a good place if you want basic food and maybe a healthier option than other places. Would not go back

Was in dtla this sunday and stumbled upon this place. I was looking for a place that specifically had two things: blueberry matcha and a healthy breakfast option. This place absolutely satisfied both. The inside seating is nice, there were plenty of people waiting,ordering, working and catching up with friends. There is also outdoor seating. Food was phenomenal and came out quickly. My friend ordered a bagel sandwich and it looked just like the photos! I opted for the veggie avocado omelette and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity. You also get a side of toast with jam, making this a filling and healthy option. I can't wait to come here again. Thanks to the workers and amazing cooks!

A delightful experience 5/5! Located in the heart of DTLA, Basil & Cheese cafe is a genuine island of culinary comfort amidst the vivid contrast of Late Victorian era architecture and new constructions reflecting the spirit of hustle culture and evolution. With simple yet elegant decor, each subsequent visit to this enchanting café is more like being in a different world surrounded by the noises of the outside traffic.The interior is fine and gives a homey feel making it suitable for a coffee break or a sit-down meal. Interesting choice of furniture and equipment allows one to achieve elegance of modern facilities with some features of the countryside comfort.As can be expected, Basil & Cheese's primary differentiating factor is delicious food, but it is the establishment's excellent service that stands out. Even from the time I first visited them (coming from an hour of train ride from OC), I thanked Mary and Emily, and they were very welcoming to me. As I sit and wait for my order, I can see that the customers are treated with immense respect and are even personally advised on what to order. From the encounter I had today and on my previous visits, one can tell that they are devoted to their clients, and a standard that is well maintained throughout the different hours of the day is something I have not complained about.The menu at Basil & Cheese can be divided into categories most commonly associated with breakfast and lunch; it is prepared with natural, fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Used in their vegan meals, I always appreciate the fact that this restaurant understands and cares for the vegan diet (I try to be vegan every once in a while). Not to mention if you are looking for something sweet or a bite, they always offer fresh baked goods and their own version of granola. IMO, despite the small size of the cafe, I would highly encourage people to try a taste of this delicious local hidden treasure.

My daily go to spot for great coffee, great food, and a smiling face from Mingku and the staff! The space as well, is a great place to sit and enjoy your coffee or meal with your friends or family or by yourself. Favorite items for me on the menu are the ABC bagel, the Bulgogi Bowl (the sauce is to die for), the club sandwich, and the breakfast burrito (get extra salsa! It's sooo good).

First time here we got the pesto chicken sandwich, bacon egg bagel, and the matcha latte float. The pesto chicken was nice and toasted w/ side of crispy fries. Both sandwich and bagel were good. The matcha float was alright. Wish they added more of matcha powder on top of it. It's also not on their paper menu, but it was on their instagram page so you have to ask for it. The parkings are by the coin meters , or they have those paid $10 parking. Overall, I would come back for their sandwich

Was at the flower district and decided to walk over and grab an early breakfast seeing as this had some good reviews. Their matcha latte was fantastic and the breakfast sandwiches are insanely good. Plenty of seating and lots of natural light. Next time I'm in the area I'll likely be back
