Stopped here on a recommendation. Lots of outdoor seating on patio. Really cool ambiance. Go inside to order your food and then have a seat. The food was really fresh. We just left Disney and were really hungry so we went with the safe play with our orders All the food was fresh and was definitely worth the detour. Really looking forward to trying it again.

Found this on a whim for lunch when we arrived in LA. The food was amazing the place is charming and has wonderful outdoor seating.

My friend Laura brought me here. The food is "to-die-for"!! The desserts are masterpieces and taste divine! The staff is amazing and super helpful for a newbie. We sat outside in a sweet garden-like atmosphere. Brick covered ivy provided protection from the hot sun, and the seating was comfortable and fun. At first glance, it's quirky like your friend's backyard, with string lights, and mismatched seating, but then you delve into their menu and are delighted. The food, wow! The food is tasty and pleasing to look upon. It was a sweet respite as we relaxed into the food, the atmosphere, and our company. I will definitely return the next time I am in LA.

First the good: the location is lovely inside and out, the staff friendly, the espresso drinks perfect. Now the bad: the food was beautiful but very disappointing to eat. Eggs Benedict came with really runny, clear egg whites which watered down the Hallandaise and made the whole plate into an unappetizing and potentially dangerous soup. My husband said the breakfast burrito was the worst he’d ever had—full of chorizo and egg but strangely flavorless. The breakfast potatoes were weird, whole, tough skin; would be so much better if they smashed them and got crispy bits. The potato chips and dip were burned. We sadly left so much food on the table when we left.

Cool lunch spot that also serves breakfast items. They also have a nice bar and a dinner menu. Seating is mostly outside with umbrella tables. You order inside, get a number then find yourself a seat. They bring you the food when ready. Coffee was good stuff, food was nice. Staff is super nice, their pastries are the best. I'd go again as ambiance was cool during lunch.

I drove almost 30 miles just so I could get the salmon and potato pancake breakfast. You order at the counter and they serve you. Everybody was very nice and the service was very good everywhere and that establishment. Beautiful patio and I totally recommend that as well.

Great food and great atmosphere! Love the outdoor patio seating. The eggs, salmon and potato cake were all excellent!

A beautifully landscaped home converted into a restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating. Well prepared brunch, fast service, and overall a perfect brunch experience. I would love to visit again. The best part, they have valet parking.

Overall, I like this place! The food I’ve had is pretty good. I visited a few times so I’ve had breakfast items as well as much! And, most recently I’ve tried a pastry and a cake. Breakfast has just been OK. The omelettes are good, but nothing earth shattering :) I wish the little potatoes they served with them were seasoned a little more.The salmon I had on one visit was really good and cooked perfectly. I also tried an apple tart and it was amazingly flavorful. I also tried a lemon blueberry cake on my last visit. It was a $10 slice of cake and I honestly wouldn’t pay two dollars to have it again. It was weirdly dense to be a cake and the flavor was mediocre.Otherwise, I do enjoy this restaurant for certain items and will return. You just have to know what to order. Everything is not worth the price.

Great food and great customer services
