Just about everything here is made from scratch on site. The bread and pastries, the pasta, and the gelato!Place is like a tiny market and a little Rome restaurant combined. The sandwiches are amazing because the bread and the Italian meats are so good. Anything with a good burrata/brie, prosciutto, and baguette is going to be a winner.Good coffee too.

I love this place and they have one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a long time. Everything just tasted so fresh. Loved the bacon and eggs and aoili and arugula and the bread so basically everything haha. The coffee is strong and delicious here. Few indoor seats and some outdoor seats. I want to eat everything here, that is a good sign.

We were in the area and were looking for a quick bite when we came across Haute Mess. I love a great sandwich, but finding one isn't always easy.The interior of the establishment is modern. Upon entering, you order on the left, and on the right side, they have a few tables set up for dining in.We asked for recommendations and ended up ordering the Cosmopolitan and the French Connection--both sandwiches were delicious. You can choose the bread, so for the Cosmopolitan, we selected the soft baguette. Not only did the bread taste great, but the sandwich ingredients were also fresh. I especially liked the taste of the fresh mozzarella paired with the pesto. The French Connection was my husband's favorite. We ordered it on a regular baguette, which is crunchier, and the bread was just as fresh. The highlight of this sandwich was the dijon mustard and the cornichons in each bite. Tip: if you're not too hungry, I'd recommend sharing a sandwich because they're on the larger size and pretty filling.We're picky about our sandwiches, but Haute Mess was definitely a pleasant surprise. We'll be back for sure when in the area.

Fell in love with this place! Customer service and food is 10/10. They go out of their way to help you find what you may like bestand exceeded my expectations honestly. Recently went in for a welcome basket and decided to try one of their breakfast sandwiches, it was delicious!! I've gone back twice this past month now. I went in twice for a basket and they were able to accommodate the request I had. Baskets are lovely and clients love them. The breakfast sandwich is a must try, I get the egg sunny side up oh and the grapefruit juice is

Amazing interior. This place is excellent! Louis is super cool and cares about each customer. I saw him approaching customers and asking them if everything was okay with their purchase. Amazing! I had a flat white with a Grappa breakfast sandwich. It was so good, and I enjoyed it. Get to know Louis! He's super cool and loves to communicate with his customers.

The slices of cheese in my sandwich were extremely thin and tiny, I couldn't even taste the cheese! WHAT A JOKE!!!! See the picture I posted. It is so DISRESPECTFUL from them to say there is cheese in the sandwich, when in fact they give you less than a millimeter slice of cheese (1mm = 0.039 inch!!). I guess times are hard!!!! The sandwich I ordered was Gimlet Bianca, and the other ingredients all felt cheap (turkey, tomatoes, baguette, bacon...). The bacon wasn't crispy like they claimed, but it was thick and chewy. Super disappointed.

I haven't dined at the restaurant yet , but I have had plenty of . & pick up! Delicious sandwiches & desserts!The staff are friendly & helpful. In the summer we get sandwiches & salads to take to the Hollywood Bowl or a Dodgers Game! I like you are able to choose the type of bread ( fresh baked) for your sandwich. Parking is a little difficult have to find the perfect time or cross your fingers! Lol!Good Food! My favs are the old fashioned salami & giblets Bianca sandwich
It's my third time indulging in their mascarpone cheesecake. It's the most scrumptious cheesecake ever. Aside from that, I've also tried the Gibson di Carne, a marinara meatball sandwich with melted mozarella. Today, I ordered the Mess Burger. I'm a huge marinara meatball sandwich and giant burger fanatic. Now the ingredients here are high quality and I can taste the difference. The burger was cooked medium rare just the way I ordered it. I would say they rely on the raw flavors of the ingredients more than other places that would mask it with sauce. Is it pricey here? I would say no, considering the inflation of menu prices elsewhere, I think the prices here are fair. And I'm referring to their sandwiches, cafe, and bakery. I have no insight into their cheese and wine selection.My only desire is for them to get a bigger place with seating and Wifi. I really enjoyed their affogato as well. I would totally come to work here. It's different environment with their quality cheese and wine selection, which I may never touch.

Cute little place walking distance from our hotel. I enjoyed sitting outside while sipping my wine and snacking on the omnivore platter. They let us choose our cheese and meats which made this a steal. The service was friendly and happy to entertain all my questions.

You wouldn't think that a French coffee shop/market would make a decent hamburger, but they do. In a quest to find the best burgers in LA, a friend and I went to Haute Mess. The burgers were great--cooked perfectly, with lots of flavor.We liked the place so much that we bought some baguettes to take home. They were also delicious.

Great concept, cute selection of specialty grocery items (although limited), but I don’t recommend it as a lunch or breakfast stop. Great bread but everything else was middling to bad—burnt, dry, old bacon, very sad portion of Turkey, little flavor. Took about 20 minutes to make and can’t quite understand why either. Unfortunately won’t be returning.
Great service, loved the lemon meringue.
