Nep Cafe

Quality food, reminds me of a Saigon Breakfast that we used to have back home.

Love the place with front terrace seats. They have unique menu, I highly recommend Cheese cream coffee.

Great breakfast/brunch place. Menu is small which makes it easy to choose. Everything is delicious. Come at least 15 minutes before they open because the wait can be long.

New brunch spot in OC. Well organized and clean. They have patio tables available. Egg cafe is a must try here. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this place. Nep is operated during the day, and at night, it's Gem dining. As of right now, Gem dining is currently closed til further notice. Nep is a replica of the cafes you would see in Saigon. Minimalistic concept. Their menu is small, but every item on their menu is 100% solid. One thing they have here that blew up in Vietnam is their egg coffee, which started in Hanoi, Vietnam. Get it if you're a coffee enthusiast.

I highly recommend coming here in groups of 2-4 so you'll all get a chance to order half the menu to try out. The Dao, Banh Mi Chao, and Impossible Gyoza is great to share. Crab Benedict comes out in two and the bone marrow cavateppi is also a good one to get as well.

Dessert: coffee flan, coconut ice cream, and mango sticky rice is a must.

Tip: make reservations the day before or else, you'll be waiting in a long line. They do not take reservations day of.
