The music was way too loud and just wrong choice for morning breakfast…sounded like a night club Track…

I've been here twice. Once in the later afternoon, the other time in the morning. Both times I had a good experience. During the former visit I had the turkey chili, which is more of a soup and is listed under soups. Although I like chili to be thicker, I liked the flavor of this dish. In the morning I had coffee, which was good, and a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich comes on a ciabatta, which I usually don't like, as they tend to be on the drier side and often overwhelm the contents of the sandwich with their size. This ciabatta was not dry, and although large, the sandwich contents were generous. The accompanying hash browns were typical fare - brown on the edges and undercooked in the center. Both times I liked the service and enjoyed sitting both inside and out although Wilshire can be noisy. I wish they opened earlier as I would be more likely to have coffee there.

Breakfast tacos are ?, slightly scaled up food in a comfy space. Great study spot. Right on a busy intersection. Only has paid parking.

Came here to work and they charge for wifi, you get one hr free and have to pay for 2 hours or purchase something. They are also blasting music so it’s not a good work spot. Didn’t try the food so I can’t judge that, but wouldn’t recommend for anyone looking to work. Bathrooms are locked w a code too.

Great place for coffee with a couple vegan baked goods. There are two explicitly vegan dishes, and I ordered the Vegan Tofu Scramble. It was quietly served with non vegan butter and there is no alternative. Otherwise it was bland but not the worst tofu scramble. Coffee was good.

The French Toast was so bad I couldn't bring myself to finish it, and I usually love my French Toast.

Chocolate croissant..tasted like baked yesterday, Blueberry scone..dry and not fresh, Americano hot, but common taste, cappucino, not hot and hardly cappucino taste. Why do we get a large fork to eat?

Friendly service, nice atmosphere, good food and coffee. The only downside was the subtle chlorine aftertaste to beverages and the offered water that I am not used to. Power outlets and 1 hr free WiFi, then $1 per hour.

I used to love this place. Awesome place to meet, work, study... after the pandemic it went so far downhill. Can't believe they still close at 3pm!
