“I used to love studying at Source Café during my student years — cozy vibes, great food, and a perfect spot to focus. But I was disappointed to find they’ve turned off the WiFi. It’s still a lovely place to unplug, but not ideal if you need to get work done online.“

“Went to meet a friend for coffee. I'd never been there before and was hoping the girl could tell me more... She was not helpful just handed me a menu & that was that.. The pastries looked amazing but because of the poor customer service I just got something off the drink menu & left it at that. The outdoor seating was nice though.“

“Martha’s is one of my favorite spots steps away from the beach with TERRIFIC EGGS BENEDICT & CHICKEN 🍲 SOUP! Service is friendly & efficient!“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“This is one of our MUST GO TO RESTAURANT when we come to Los Angeles. Food is very delicious, good portion and environment is so chill. The hockey game always plays on TV with photos of Kings made it special. It just takes a minute to walk out to the Hermosa Beach to enjoy the Sunshine.“

“Such a beautiful and amazing place! the food was superb and the service was top-notch. The only downside is that it gets crowded and even though we had a reservation we had to wait for 15 minutes. Overall, I recommend visiting at least once!“

“De passage chez Eclair&café Excellentes pâtisseries Accueil au top, chaleureux merci pour ce bon moment 👍 De vrais professionnels !!! N hésitez pas à y faire un tour si vous êtes de passage dans le coin“

“Excellent Mexican ( Oaxacan) food in Mar Vista. The food was delicious and nicely presented & service was friendly and attentive. We sat outside at a picnic table, which is fun in warm weather. There are several Oaxacan businesses in the area. Diversity like this is what makes LA great.“

“Great place! Awesome service.“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“We are from Germany, travelling for weeks across the USA, this IS definetly the best breakfast we have had between Europe and the USA, everything pure and fresh, the Service more than friendly , Like coming Home, at least 5 Stars and more, everybody must try out“

“Superb coffee. Super classy atmosphere, helpful staff & killer drinks & food. I have a dairy intolerance rn and you can get the chapati with chickpeas instead of the eggs that have milk in, super delicious. My bf got the chapati with the eggs and cheese and he he loved it as well.“

“What a wonderful experience! From the friendly staff greeting my party of 5 upon arrival, the amazing food, the jammin’ playlist this was most definitely a top tier experience while visiting LA! We will definitely be returning to HillTop🫶🏽“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“We had a pleasant lunch enjoying good food from an extensive menu. In
Access to the restaurant is difficult because it is located on a busy street and has a limited number of parking spaces in the rear.
Inside seating is best in the patio.
From all appearances, it looks like a popular neighborhood cafe with efficient take out service“

“Had the vegan tacos and white pomegranate tea....Absolutely delicious!!!!“

“Faboulous baked goods, great chef in the kitchen, some unusual delightful special breakfasts + lunches, excruciatingly noisy due to bad acoustics when busy.
2025: as good as ever, good coffee + espresso, great baked goods, good breads, outside seating, the take out salads are overpriced and not that interesting, always helpful staff. too bad they close for food at 3:oo. owner Hans has a couple of local high price restaurants: Janes in the MDR. good though.“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“Lovely experience. The staff were very nice and attentive. The food was really great! I ordered the burger and fries, the ranch on the side is a must! Best ranch ever with the best fries. We came here to celebrate my Husbands birthday and the staff here made it special. 10/10 recommend!“

“Best Sunday Brunch- we were first timers and when other customers rave about the food while waiting for a table you know it’s gonna be great! And it was - not to mention the fresh orange juice mimosas! Awesome service … I’ll be back!!“

“I had to plan a last minute breakfast for a coworker and since I love the breakfast burritos from TMJ Cafe i thought everyone else would too! They had everything ready when I got there and are always so happy and appreceative. Love this place! Oder the Supreme Doughnuts Box they're gorgeous and totally worth it!

Vegetarian options: They have a veggie burrito that is amazing! Just remember to order it without cheese.

Parking: Its a small parking lot, but people come and go very quickly.“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“Brought my daughter after jujitsu class... we were ordering and i saw the new reopens drinks and suggested she try one of them... she said she wanted to stick with her original order of a mango smoothie with no boba and mango jelly and popping boba... before we even paid the drink was prepared... one thing I noticed was all the employees were smiling... my daughter left her phone on the counter and we walked over to the bakery next door... as we were walking out Roxy came and brought us the phone.... thank you for a great experience and saving us a headache.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Culver City! I can't get over it closed for good :( Loved the food, everyone was so nice too. Please open again!!“

“Fresh and tasty food! I got the mahi mahi Cali bowl. It was really good! The sauce was a bit spicy for me, I’ll just order without next time but other than that very good! I also got the watermelon/strawberry Agua Fresca. Very refreshing!“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Everything about this place is PERFECTION. The owner, Plern, is an absolute genius! Plern has so much talent and puts all her heart into this place. You really feel like you’re being cared for here.“

“Excellent Crepes Mr. G. I would eat here again! We got 5x crepes, Strawberry w/ Nutella, Strawberry w/ chocolate, banana and chocolate, ham & cheese and the Feta. All were amazing! Mr. G. also served me before opening hours, knowing I was waiting!! Excellent customer service with a smile! Thank you very much!“

“good food good coffee good service and very close to home“

“I ordered both the hot matcha latte and the iced matcha, curious to compare the two. To my surprise, the cold version came flavored with lemonade—a twist not mentioned on the menu. Had I known, I likely would’ve skipped it. The citrusy tang clashed with the earthy matcha in a way that didn’t quite work for my palate. Still, I’d paid for it, so I powered through.

The hot matcha latte had potential, but the balance was off—too much matcha powder led to a thick sediment settling at the bottom. Unfortunately, my final sip delivered a gritty mouthful that left an unpleasant aftertaste.

While this visit wasn’t the most delightful sip-wise, I’m not holding it against Yellow Vase. I’d come back for other offerings, but I’ll be steering clear of the matcha next time..“

“Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Toast Cafe❤️ Smoked salmon avocado toast and fresh berry toast were amazing. Quiet cozy cafe with great food. Highly recommend!e“

“음료가 맘에 들어요.“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

“I discovered Jade Snow located at the King Harbor pier in Redondo Beach while biking on the path along the sand near the ocean. Initially, I tried their smoothies and then the various fresh fruit dishes including the MACHA, ACAI, and the DRAGON. The fruits were always fresh, the presentation always appealing, and the taste always gratifying. The staff are friendly and bring my order to me, rather than call my order number and hand it to me over the counter.

Jade Snow has been a fantastic place for me to stop by, get tasty / healthy nutrition, and refresh on my cycling route.“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“Amazing service & amazing food! Great place to host a meeting or group dinner.“

“Mr. Mack graciously assisted us by taking our order and providing wonderful recommendations. Consequently, we opted for two delectable ham & egg sandwiches on wheat bread, a refreshing Greek salad, an indulgent Almond Chocolate Croissant, a rich café latte, and a steaming cup of hot water.

My spouse and I enjoy exploring new dining venues and pride ourselves on evaluating service, food quality, and ambiance. We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service we received; Mr. Mack warmly greeted us with a sweet smile and gentle demeanor, offering insightful suggestions. He diligently catered to our needs, even promptly fulfilling my request for Tapatio hot sauce to spice up my sandwich. The dishes were fresh and superb, with the salad proving to be particularly delightful and the coffee exceeding our expectations.

As our meal drew to a close, we approached a lady, whose name eluded me, to request a takeout box. She promptly presented us with two options to choose from. I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant and look forward to returning for another delightful start to the day. Thank you ?

Warm regards,

William & Connie“

“Fabulous hyper-farm-to-table food by a creative chef, on Main St in Santa Monica. I’ve tried the Gazpacho, the many Danish Rye toasts with what is fresh that day: eggs, salmon roe, avocado or ....? They also have baristas that make all type of drinks. My fab place to indulge healthy and fresh“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“Great place but horrible customer service !!! I wanted to order online and it was an issue with the website (availability and discount problems). At first they were really nice and reactive but then they just disappeared and ignored my messages ! I asked them 3 times to answer me but nothing….. I have never seen that in the US ! Really disappointing. And their answer on Google made it just worse. Although the shop is amazing, I won’t go anymore.“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“Love, love their chicken. Fresh, healthy and very, very tasty. This really is a pick up location, but it does have outside tables. Easy to order ahead and their rotisserie chicken is frankly the best I have had. I know they've been in West LA for years and so happy they just opened El Segundo. I eat here a few times a week. They have some really good sides as well, especially the roasted potatoes. Order ahead El Segundo because they are packed at lunch. Staff is very friendly and it is easy to walk up and order. They usually are 10 minutes or less. The atmosphere is fine but it is really a walk up and eat outside place. Try it. You will love it.

Parking: It just get crowed at lunch in Chargers commons because there are a lot of other restaurants. But you can always find a space somewhere.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect meal for kids. Fresh, healthy and tasty. Plenty to oder from for them.“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“I wanna say great service. Chloe greeted me with a smile. Not only that she gave me the choices of the type of chocolate to get for my mocha. So refreshing to have such wonderful service. God bless you, Chloe. God bless clutch Coffee...“

“Authentically unique and super sweet! Let's talk matcha.... it's imported from Japan and not frozen, so it's super potent and not so bitter. The customer service is super on point and it's unique because there is a skin care boutique as you enter on the right and then towards the back and yoga studio. So very neat! This place is charming in so many ways we will be back“
