Shouldn’t have doubted and delayed my visit for so long to this place. Sunny yet breezy LA last weekend was certainly perfect time to get some sun kisses sitting in the outdoor patio in front of the venue. They did have plenty indoor ones and worry not if you saw long line since it moved in a blink. They seemed to be super efficient with the system of having people placing orders before finding seats.

Their pastries and cakes were the first ones hooking my attention, and surprise surprise people actually loved their brunch menu especially their burritos. We went for the #1 favorite, the Doubtless Burrito, following the attendant reco for a first timer. Oh my word, tons of shredded pork shoulder stuffed in the burrito with perfectly cooked egg and all the seasonings were on point! The filling portion surely worth the price.

Never ever skip their Passion Fruit Pie and do hear everyone’s reco about it. The graham cracker crust people were bragging about was indeed dabomb! The slice was such flawless combo of freshly tangy fruit flavor with sweet and slightly salty base. YUMMMM!!

Got the Thomas Breakfast Burrito and a hot Matcha Latte. Was it the best breakfast Burrito I've had, no. However it was a welcomed new take on the breakfast Burrito and definitely worth traveling to try it. The matcha latte was great to. They had so many other great things on the menu that I need to try.

Julie got a crossiant breakfast sandwich and that was sooo good. The crossiant was crispy and soft, just the way I like it.

Atmosphere was great. Nice big windows with losts of light. Would come back just to work too. Only con was parking sucks which is expected in Silver Lake and seating is a little limited.

Popular spot that seems to have waves of lines on and off. We waited about 10 minutes on a Sunday for lunchtime to order and then find a seat to wait for our food. Everything tasted good though the Thomas breakfast platter was just ok (eggs weren't cooked great). The hojicha latte was very good - can definitely taste the hojicha. The highlight of what we ordered was the seven grain pancake. Don't skip this! It was so unique and delicious.

This place is incredible. All of their pastries are delicious and the entrees are equally tasty. Plus they have a full coffee bar. It's in a really subdued part of town as well so I've never had a wait when I showed up.
My bf and I usually get at least one pastry to share and then our own breakfast dishes. I often get the pork or beef bowl which has lettuce, grains, eggs, and veg. He likes the breakfast quesadilla.
The lattes are excellent.

I really wanted to like this place, but it falls short and I really don’t ever plan to go back.

The place itself is aesthetically pleasing with a cozy chic vibe. Oddly most of the tables were wobbly and not the correct height to seat level. So the table hits at your knees when you’re sitting hence bending over your table more if eating.

The only 2 things I semi-enjoyed were the dirty chai latte and the carrot cake slice. And the semi is because the latte was room temp at most but flavors were there, and the carrot cake itself was really good but the frosting was too sweet.

Biscuit was dry. Jam was watery. Bacon and Eggs were just okay. Quesadilla was good but nothing great. And then we get to the danish pastry… as someone who bakes and has a family of chefs, I know when dough is underbaked. Cutting into this danish, I knew right away it still raw dough in the middle. When we brought to the girl’s attention at the counter, she seriously tried to gaslight us and tell us that “oh that’s the way it is because that’s how it bakes with the custard.” BS. We didn’t even eat the rest of it. Such a waste of our money.

Nothing enticing about this place to go back so I can’t say I recommend it.

Parking - it’s all street parking. Some residential. Some metered.

Food was fresh. Dirty chai was delicious, but for $85 (with tip) for two people and an uncooked danish pastry — that’s the thing that won’t bring us back. I brought it to the attention of the cashier, but she said nothing was wrong and that the cream layering was causing it to look like that. I didn’t know cream could make a danish look uncooked so I asked my sister and her husband Thomas (both chefs) and let’s just say, the name lived up to the restaurant.

The breakfast burrito was great. Definitely LA pricing. Parking and seating might be tricky depending on the timing. The fig coffee was unique to try.

I was visiting my gf in her neighborhood and this place was nearby. Line out the door but the service was quick and delicious. Took us longer to find street parking and park than us waiting for our food after we ordered. Clean facility. Friendly.

Love this spot to work remotely from for a couple of hours. Yes items are pricey but after all it’s LA and you’re kinda paying for “a scene” kinda vibe.

Anyway, ONLY constructive criticism for the owners would be that your staff talks so loud (to each other) it sounds like they are screaming. It’s wild how loud they are. Please use your inside voices

Just had my first meal here. It was delish!! However more on the pricey side, would like a nicer atmosphere to match the price. Regardless, I loved my dish. I had the pork belly bowl & strawberry matcha. You can tell thought goes into their food. Will be back.
