Sarah SpagnoloDecember 1, 2014Pretzels and muffins arrive before your lunch, so don't over-order. Enormous slice of avocado toast is topped with radish slices; Mediterranean salad (pictured) was perfect to share. Pet friendly.
George PeachDecember 25, 2014It's Christmas morning and I just had the most amazing omelette filled with fresh vegetables. Love it here! They also have very good coffee.
Ricky SherrillNovember 15, 2016I get the "Lumberjack" (3 Square) ever time. Add some extra toast or other baked goods and you will walk away happy.
Kat 🐱October 21, 2016The bakery has free Wi-Fi and power outlets! Great place for working if you plan to stay for a few hours.
Vladimiro MazzottiAugust 20, 2013At the cafe I got one of the best lamb burgers ever, while at the bakery one of the best muffins (orange and cranberry)! High5!
Michelle ParatoreJuly 14, 2012No need to try the avocado fries (just deep fried wedges of avocado--why ruin a great thing?!) but everything else is delicious. Husband says huevos rancheros are special.
Masha LeshchinskayaJune 2, 2011Tuna burger is increadible and filled with ripe avocado while the flat iron steak looks super yummy. All in all, the food and organic ales are great and worth the money.
The assorted bread basket on the menu denotes that it includes pastries but it does NOT..hope they fix that. Grrr-great sunny side up eggs & crisp bacon here! :p
MiriamSeptember 17, 2010come and order your lunch at the bakery instead of the cafe - the service is nice, it's super quiet, and most importantly, it's faster! perfect for those of us with jobs
Nicole StarkApril 1, 2012The Quinoa Burger and the Apple Cinnamon Sauteed Pancake were SO incredible. And they serve brunch until 4 on weekends!
Judith CheunDecember 3, 2015Burger was good but they left out the Egg and the dumb waitress advised I had to request the egg when it's listed as one of the ingredients. Service does suck! Food was ok.
Mmmhh German stuff ; ) what I get: Grilled Weisswurst or Pretzel Burger, Raspberry White Chocolate Muffin or German Apple Pancake, but always a Chocolate Mouse from the Bakery, holy s... Read more
Zach AaronsJanuary 5, 2012Wonderful breakfast. The huevos rancheros are very tasty. The service is pretty spacey. I just rhymed. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
GarySeptember 19, 2013Peach bellini is delish. Waldorf is weird but not too bad. Skirt steak was cooked nicely but too saucy. Service was phenomenal.
The most popular pastry is the 5 grain scone. Try it and see if you love it like everyone else.
Olive-oil poached tuna panini is the perfect sized snack sandwich, and too delicious for its own good.
Even if you filled up on an amazing breakfast - never leave without a Cro-Dough.
For a place whose speciality is crepes I expected the crepes to be made fresh on order like it's done at every creperie in France, but this is not the case. The crepes are nothing special. Shame.
Yohei NakajimaNovember 18, 2011Avocado fries. Tuna burger. Sit down food is bomb, but leisurely service. Cafe is quick and convenient.
Muesli is great if you're looking for a healthy option to all the delicious pastries
- Rip-Off Warning: menu shows reg. Coffee at $2.50 & when check arrives you're charged $3.50 (while a cappuccino is $3.25). Crazy--Buy coffee at Bakery next door & take-in restaurant w/you.
My Yelp review:
Ken SJanuary 6, 2011Not sure why all the complaints are about the service. Totally not my experience, but then I was here when it was not too busy. Apple Pancake and weiswurst are very tasty!!
Brian LynchApril 3, 2011If the breakfast pizza special is on, get it! Mix it up with the German apple pancake for the perfect breakfast.
Kat LApril 3, 2011If the brunch special is the bacon, scrambled egg, cheddar & arugula pizza, GET IT!
Annie BangApril 2, 2011The service was good but then I had lunch on tuesday... Love the food & sunny outdoorsy place!
Leo LeonardOctober 16, 2010Perfect place for a quick bite after some shopping at a and r. Try the Weiss vurst it's really good!
Garret SchmidtMarch 14, 2015We walked in with coffees we'd been drinking all morning and they wouldn't even seat us. Good deal because this place is overpriced anyway.
Alan UnderkoflerFebruary 23, 2010Wow! Don't come here for the service! But... The food is fantastic and the menu is creative! Highly recommend!
Julia ParkJune 25, 2016Average food (honestly, pretty bad considering it's LA) and food's pricey. Wouldn't recommend it. The service is pretty good though
Try the Lamb burger and you must have the avocado fries!- Julia ParkJune 28, 2016Totally not worth the value. Go if you are super hungry & nearby places are packed..
- Ken SJanuary 22, 2011Tried this place 3 times and bases upon the Yelp reviews, I agree. Good food TERRIBLE service.
Lisa CrounseMay 28, 2011Yummy weisswurst. Seat on the patio inside the door is a bit of a wind tunnel. Brrr.
