Um... i might not recommend this unless you want a full detox. We were near Griffith Park and needed to pass some time before a show. This place looked adorable from all the photos of their outdoor seating, the beautiful pastries, and the charming interior. The reviews looked good too. When we got there we spent some time looking at the menu, i heard one of the staff members shout out to the Cashier that they only have one carrot cake left after selling the one she was prepping for the order. Which lead us to contemplate getting the last one, but i looked at the display of stale pastries and thought maybe not now but we'll see after the meal. Maybe that should've been my first red flag but it wasn't. We ordered an explorer plate: brisket, pork ribs w/ cornbread waffles and red bean chilli, rib tips, fries veggie smash burger, and a chai tea. It took about 15 mins+ for the food to get to our table. The tea wasn't hot but we overlooked that since the blend was really great. The fries were warm and delicious. None of the meat was hot. It tasted stale. I just thought they were light on seasoning but it's possible it just went bad. All the meat was warm like it was just left out near the sun. I was naive and excited to try some BBQ but I was greated this morning to a rude awakening and an involuntary stomach cleanse.

I don't know much about food handling but i just feel like they might be doing it wrong. I couldn't finish my plate because it was stale and i thought it looked okay enough to take home and heat up later but waking up had me throw it all away. I guess I'm saying getting anything with lukewarm meat is a risky decision and maybe I'll stick to places where the food is made to order.

The staff seemed nice and the ambiance is lovely but I'll be terrified of ordering meat here again..

I used to come here almost every week for breakfast before going into work. But over the last few months the place has REALLY dipped. The food takes a ridiculously long time to come out. There will only be 3 guests in the entire restaurant waiting on food but it takes almost 35 minutes to come out and when it finally does all of it is mostly cold. Nothing grosser than cold eggs & sausages. The last 3 times I have gone in they either messed up my order or forgot part of it completely. (Mind you this is a staple menu item so I don’t know how it keeps getting made incorrectly or forgotten) I have to wait almost double the time to get the food I’m missing for my already cold plate. Recently they forgot my toast, when they brought it out it was dried out lukewarm bread not toasted at all. I thought it was just a bad luck streak so I took a month off but after the other day sadly I don’t think I will be back anytime soon…

March 2025: my first visit, food was great! I tried their hamburger and my companions had their salads. All fresh, great tasting and terrific. Parking is very limited, as well as well as dining space. Menu is limited, but should keep us interested for a long time. Shout out to Sparky! Thank you for making new friends!

Be careful if you’re vegan or vegetarian. Even if you ask to hold any meat from a dish they’ll still put it in.

Ordered breakfast via Uber Eats for my team of 11. While the customer service was excellent, the food quality was disappointing. Multiple issues with the order: hashbrowns were overcooked - they were like potatoes chips, potatoes had no seasoning (missing bell peppers and onions), and pancakes were burnt (photos included). I could only eat the fruit provided on top of the pancakes.

The good customer service saves this from a lower rating, but as a first-time customer hoping to introduce this restaurant to my team and organization, the food quality was unfortunately subpar. Will be trying different options for future team breakfasts.

First time here! And the atmosphere was adorable! Very unique and warm vibe. I ordered the chilaquiles, they were okay. The beans were salty, the pancakes were also dry. I was very pleased with my tea!

Place was busy so I had high hopes, unfortunately what a let down.

The overpriced “breakfast burrito” was exceptionally tasteless and stone cold, the hash browns inside the burrito literally felt like they came out of a refrigerator, pair that with the soggy under seasoned egg and you’ve got yourself disaster in a recycled to go box.

The poor excuse and not needed country potato’s on the side were so dry, you could close your eyes and almost taste the sands of the Sahara.

Looks like this place is best for premade breakfast pastries and coffee, however in that case you could save yourself a lot of wait time and money and just go to the Starbucks up the street.

Overpriced and very poor food. Ordered breakfast burrito and chicken waffles. Burrito was ice cold, tasted like cardboard and had a long hair in it. Chicken and waffles was ice cold and soggy. Overpriced and very poor quality food.

Cute little spot. Food was decent - their chocolate croissant and breakfast burrito were good. French toast was ok, I don't eat maple syrup so it was a little dry, but the fresh fruit was nice. Their coffee was not good and the reason for only giving 3 stars overall. Paid $5 for an 8 oz cup of sour coffee.

Had a pleasant breakfast here! Really enjoyed the chimpanzee latte, you don't often see drinks with banana syrup.
