I got the Mediterranean Sandwich with a side of crispy potatoes, both were tasty and good sized portions. You have the option for a side salad as well. I ordered for pickup and the haloumi cheese in the sandwich still had a nice crisp. I also enjoyed the aioli that comes with the potatoes.

Garbage place, they don't have tables, I won't return, I don't recommend it

Unfortunately I will never want to eat another sandwich again other than The Mediterranean Sando from Breakaway Cafe. (Also recommend: the corn chowder, potatoes, and cozy vibe!!)

Breakaway is, hands down, my favorite neighborhood cafe. Not only do they make excellent drinks (their oat milk latte is criminally delicious) but they also have a stellar breakfast/lunch menu.

Menu highlights include their perfectly simple breakfast burrito- cheesy, eggy, hashbrowny goodness, and their avocado tartine which I have to try to stop myself from ordering every time I go as at some point I would like to try all the other things on the menu too. They have a rotating slate of specials posted near the register too.

The staff at Breakaway are all lovely, friendly and great at what they do. It's a beloved spot full of regulars and newcomers alike and the atmosphere is relaxed and unfussy.

They win French toast!! I have never had French toast this great in a restaurant!! You know how the batter has to soak in? Yes! They got that right! The batter flavor saturated the Brioche! I chose to nix the sweet cream cheese but the blueberry compote was so subtle and delicious! It had perfectly crispy edges too! It was a huge serving but it didn’t come with anything else. It was filling but I do like some protein in the mix, without having to pay to add it.
The staff was cordial. I will go back when I have a craving for French toast!

Card only. If you offer to pay with cash, they laugh sarcastically and look at you like you’re an alien. Made my husband feel awful. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re a POC.

This cafe has utterly delightful lavender matchas. It is sweet but not too sweet while having a satisfying texture. If you get the iced version, make sure you stir because the syrup is at the bottom.

Now the food (the sausage biscuit and chicken noodle soup) is on the other end of the spectrum- I found it to be heavy and very lacking in seasoning. The biscuit sausage was particularly disappointing given that the cashier said it was a popular weekend item only. The sausage felt like something you find from a microwaved Jimmy dean sausage sandwich. Meanwhile the biscuit was initially nice but really got mushy after several bites.

Everything you see in this image ended up being $65 after tax and tip. The venue is in a cute location but next time I would go back for the drinks only.

Wowwwwee this food was delicious. What a well kept secret of Culver City. I will definitely be back. Chicken pesto sandwich was insane, so good, ans the sausage biscuit special was to die for.

Maybe it's because I had been travelling from the UK for 24hours, maybe its because I have only had plane food and snacks in that time... But the sandwich I had from here was a welcome assault on my taste buds. Heaven in a ciabatta!

All four of our meals were delicious! Burger, breakfast burrito, muffuletta and the Mediterranean Sandwich. Very large and substantial servings. Side salads were fresh and the vinaigrette was so yummy! Roasted fingerling potatoes were perfectly seasoned, crispy outside and fluffy inside. Service was excellent and fast! Servers were professional, friendly and attentive. Coffees were exceptional! Can’t wait to go again!

This place is great. Coffee is wonderful. We got the burger and a Mediterranean sandwich, one with potatoes and one with a salad. The portions are quite generous. The salad featured a homemade vinaigrette and was fresh and delicious. The potatoes were roasted fingerlings with fresh herbs and were cooked perfectly. The burger was grass-fed beef, huge, perfectly cooked and appointed on a brioche bun. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant is comfortable, though a little tight if it’s busy. This is a dog-friendly establishment, which we love, but be aware. We look forward to going here again soon!

Food was better than IHOP, so there is that. Had i have realized I would be responsible for busing my table afterwards, I would not have hit that tip button though.

The breakfast burrito here is one of my favorites. The cheddar used is so uniquely fresh that I wish I could come here every morning for breakfast. The coffee and Matcha have also been very delightful. The staff have all been super friendly. Theythey get swamped on the weekends around 11 AM, so don’t be surprised if you see a line almost out the door. The staff are all great at keeping orders moving, and there is typically some sort of seating usually available immediately or at a short wait, but there are very few times when it can be a long wait depending on the day. There is a gentleman who is the one who brings out the orders who is always super friendly and helpful; I don’t know his name, but shout out to him for always keeping those tables moving so others can sit with their parties. The vibe is great and relaxed, and always clean the times I have been. Would def recommend!
