Food: Outstanding, diverse culinary exploits

The tantalizing menu at Cici's intermingles creativity and taste in such an astounding fashion. Dishes like the delightful Green Tea Tiramisu Pancakes and the scrumptious Buttermilk Pancakes are perfect examples. The Fresh ingredients with the guarantee of large portions result in a cuisine artistry that's both generous and satisfying. However, the sheer deliciousness doesn't appear to match up with the steep prices.

  • Very Creative

    Menu's creativity impresses with unique, original, and innovative culinary delights.

  • Bad Value

    Food quality does not justify the higher prices; feels overpriced for some.

Vibe: A nightmare of clattered ambiance

While the café buzzes with popularity, the atmosphere crumbles in the chaos of its raging volume and cramped spaces. Add blaring, inappropriate music and a disturbing view of Ventura Blvd traffic to the mix and the ambiance takes an unfortunate nosedive. A date might not end well amidst this racket.

  • Okay Buzz

    Popular and busy with good food but decor is bare.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Cramped, loud, noisy, dark, chaotic, affecting the dining experience negatively.

Perks: Nightmarish parking and overwhelming noise

The service leaves much to be desired, slow and inattentive, and the frustration increases with the problematic parking scene in a tight, shared lot. Then there’s the echoing noise, making peaceful conversations an impossible dream. The outdoor seating option fares no better, too crowded and disruptive to provide any solace.

  • Great For Pets

    Water bowls, pet treats, and special attention make pets feel welcomed.

  • Okay For Groups

    Large portions and menu variety, but can be crowded and busy.

  • Bad Service

    Slow, neglectful service undermines the overall restaurant experience.
