“The best spot for lunch; bustling with energy, and despite the crowd, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles.The crispy chicken sandwich was standout, with just the right crunch and a tangy sauce that elevated it beyond the ordinary.It’s a place where the food, service, and ambiance come together to create a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu.“
“Dialogue is always our first stop for coffee and breakfast during our visits. It’s a WEHO staple. Ene has served us the past two years - his service is above and beyond and he even recognized us after a year!! Huge shoutout to Ene for making us feel welcome year after “
“Surprise, surprise the best Tuscan sandwich in town. Their Schiacciata is superior to Antico Vinaio's and the sandwich ingredient combinations are more balanced than Tre-Mani. The Monday-Tuesday all day pasta is another great option.“
“AMAZING Expect waiting outside, party of 2 was 20-25 min Saturday afternoon and cannot call in to be added to it. Everything on the menu is great but the French toast, pork belly fried rice, and strawberry tea were the best. Limited seating and one restroom but highly recommend.“
“Absolutely lovely place! Great atmosphere, great guests, great staff!Lovely food freshly made - great barista. By the way - excellent house blend!I’ve had some food and drink for really reasonable cost.Colourful yet toned and modern interior. A lot of space that everyone can find a spot for themselves.Great job Liberation!!!“
“Looking for a sweet treat to cool your mouth after eating a scalding ramen or udon? A cozy atmosphere to study with a friend? This is the place for you! Ordered the matcha waffle cone, and it was the perfect balance between sweet and earthy. The vibes were great and the service was greater! They ran out of ice cream as they were serving me and gave me a slightly smaller portion along with a full refund! Highly recommend(Excuse the image, I just couldn’t wait to dig in)“
“Came here on a random morning with my kid after their doctor appointment and so so glad I did! Called ahead to see if they had a high chair & thank god I did cause they only had 1! No biggie, strollers exist for a reason. We got the 1. Catfish special - 2 filet catfish (fried to perfection btw) 2 over easy eggs and cheesy grits 2. Fried chicken with 2 scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes Grits were okay, I make them better at home so obvi I wasn't expecting home outdoors lol Chicken and fish were PERFECT. Tasty and crunchy. My kid ate it up!! Each plate came with a choice of toast, we got the sourdough (it already came buttered) that's customer service! Not to mention, the waiter looked like he was handling the tables and the register. He did so with kindness, attentiveness and promptness. I was never waiting for someone to check on us for very long. I love Inglewood and moved away from here a few years ago so it was nice to come back and feel that community feel again Prior to getting the check, a young lady checked on us (we sat outside) and promptly got us our check and some to-go boxes. 10/10 would recommend. Really appreciated the service and quality of food. Next time we're in the area, I'm bringing the hubsters“
“Wow! We were so impressed with our food: N-Seoul bowl and pho! I’m not a fan of quinoa but the korean bulgogi marinated “meat” adds flavors and being complimented with many small healthy sides like kimchi with probiotics - yum! The pho was gigantic, I asked for couple of lime wedges and it was a bomb!!! One of the best vegan restaurants in the area around Venice! Cute interior and friendly staff, we live in San Francisco but definitely will come when in the area!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“I have been several times now. I live in the area. Best espresso in Hermosa/Manhattan area. Today I got the cortado with a savory Danish. It is a neighborhood establishment. In the neighborhood. It is a small local business where you can chat with the barista. Great spot to stop on a bike ride on the strand. You can see the ocean from some of the seating.“
“If this hasn't been written yet, this shop has incredible coffees that is worth your frequent visits. If it's any testament, Frank La is the 2024 United States Barista Champion. Coffee and hospitality is incredible, it would actually be a mistake not to come “
“Go inside and a you’ll be magnetized. The setting is pleasing, comfortable and elegant. There are tables of differing sizes depending on party size. The barista was great- he made me a wonderful matcha w honey drink that was delicious. The food was great. French omelette is yum. Loved the service“
“My coffee was just okay- but it was also a better price than most. This place is ADORABLE though. The little red and white striped umbrellas make it hard to miss- even tho I did. Lolll - (it’s sort of hidden on a side street) I would defs go back.Parking: If this place gets popular- Parking could become a challenge. It’s a residential neighborhood.“
“I was in the area for a tire and in desperate need of coffee. I asked the barista which to get and they recommended the horchata latte, I got it with half the sweetener, iced and it was perfect. I even splurged and got a the tomato & mozzarella empanada (also recommend by the barista) chefs kiss! Came with a chipotle sauce of some kind and so fresh. I also opted for the spinach, egg and cheese empanada which was also delicious. Will definitely be back when in the area.“
“listen: its west LA, there are a *TON* of options... but none of them are as good as this. start with the chilaquiles -- they are *chef's kiss* incredible. and anything else you order will be impeccably seasoned, full of authentic flavor, and fresh. everything is “
“Chorizo Croissant was served cold unfortunately, flavor was nice but hard to enjoy it in it's a solid cold form state.The vanilla lattes syrup was a bit too sweet for my liking. Definitely will come here again though to give a proper 2nd chance as the ambiance and aesthetic are really comfortable and welcoming.“
“I ordered online to be delivered in Florida. Exquisite chocolates with a variety of flavors. Beautiful presentation. Fast and reliable delivery. They even include a QR code in the box so you can see the menu of chocolates and understand each flavor. Lovely family story.“
“Looking for a caffeine oasis in the heart of Hollywood? Look no further than Javista! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warm smiles of the friendly staff. The cozy ambiance makes it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or dive into your latest book. Their espresso drinks are expertly crafted, and the pastries and sandwiches are to die for! Javista has quickly become my go-to spot for a delightful coffee experience in Hollywood. Highly recommend giving it a try!“
“Excellent breakfast and great coffee/au lait. A HUGE menu with even more options/specials posted around the space. Blueberry bacon pancakes were exactly my style. If you love the fruit, bacon, pancakes, egg yolks and syrup all in the same bite - this is the dish for you!“
“This was a truly exceptional experience. We were in BH for the day visiting and decided on a whim to have tea. Our service staff Daniel and Patricia went above and beyond as hosts to make us feel welcome. The food and tea were both spectacular! What a wonderful treat in Beverly Hills.“
“We were walking on the boardwalk and literally just found this place. Looked like an old shack from the outside with some crazy heavy sliding door. Once we walked in we were transported to a beautiful restaurant! The cocktail menu was so alluring as everything was something we’ve never had. If you’re into a sweet cocktails definitely get the rhapsody in red - I couldn’t even taste the alcohol. We got an app to share. The calamari was incredible but the smelt was super fishy. That’s not the restaurants fault tho. After sipping our drinks we decided on a second round and the cookie. The best restaurant a la mode I’ve had is with this delicious cookie. The nut favor really came through. Our server was so pleasant and had a lot of personality. The bathrooms were also clean and interesting. If we weren’t just visiting this would be a frequent spot for sure.“
“I got the veggie panini and an iced matcha w/ oat milk; both were very good. My brother ordered a french toast that he vacuumed down in 5 seconds and my dad ordered an omelette that he could not get enough of. Everything was just so fresh and healthy. The service was great and the employees are so friendly! I definitely suggest eating in the back patio, the atmosphere is just amazing!“
“This is a hole in the wall Cafe that's serve high quality food. I was thrilled to eggs and it was the real stuff not that powdered mix type of eggs. Daughter got pancakes of course which were on the spot. Wife got some chorizo dish that she enjoyed. Definitely going to make it a go-to spot for brunch.“
“What a delicious restaurant with authentic Ukrainian food. We traveled here from the Bay Area and were shocked to find a place that served only Ukrainian dishes. We got the varenyky with cabbage, borscht, Syrniki with custard, holubtsi , kompot (juice from berries) and nalisniki (crepe with chicken and mushroom. Everything was perfect. The service was also great, the server was attentive and he always made sure we enjoyed everything. Everything was very clean and well decorated. I love the Ukrainian music as well !! :)“
“Second time here, so here's the breakdown:*Avocado Tartine - 4.5/5 -good bread, but was a little soggy -need a better knife to cut *Breakfast burrito - 4.5/5-a little too panini pressed for me -solid texture mix and balance of all ingredients - I got the pork sausage. Drinks:*Latte - 5/5 *Chai - 2/5 -asked for whole milk...the whole drink was whole milk with a dash of cinnamon -also forgot to add my espresso shot Bonus: *Red Beards Jalapeño sauce is so clutch! Great add on to the burrito and avocado toast.“
“I came about 2 months ago to grab some breakfast for the fam and I have been obsessed ever since then. Everything I've tried so far has not disappointed, every time I come I get something different and it always hits the spot! Portion sizes are perfect and affordable.The service is amazing as well! I love this place and I highly recommend anyone to try it out.“
“We had a meeting iver brunch outside. First time trying the place and I was not disappointed. Had a difficult time choosing which one to get because I was told that almost everything on the menu is great. The Thai Omelette was good too. The staff was friendly and attentive. They also bus your plates out right away after finishing your meal haha.“
“There is reason why this place rating is so high! Food is excellent, the signature French toast is a must, even my friend who doesn’t eat sugary food likes it! And the service is just amazing, they have the best employees! I left my bag( which hundreds of cash and everything in it) and only remembered it after 3 hrs! But I retrieved my bag from the lady serviced is her name is Maddison, after they already closed for an hr! I can’t tell you how touched I was by the way she went out of her way to help me (a stranger) solve problems! That’s definitely the place you would want to visit again again and again!“
“The food is not only delicious but visually appealing and suited the atmosphere of a restaurant inside of an art museum. We started our meal with the cheese plate and tuna carpaccio both of which were an amazing first course. I then ordered the pan seared cod and my girlfriend ordered the octopus. Both were cooked to perfection and full of rich flavors and complimentary accoutrements. Finally to finish our meal we ordered a serving of ice cream which is always a good choice and the Cloud de Maron. The latter of which was not only visually stunning but also deliciously decadent. You can tell that folks in the kitchen really care by how perfectly cooked and meticulously plated everything is. The front of the house was no different. I never felt rushed and the staff was friendly and attentive. 10/10 will definitely return.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options are available and they are willing to accommodate any dietary restrictions if they are given advance notice.“
“A good amount of tables inside and a few on the sidewalk outside. Order at the counter! Full coffee bar and a menu of breakfast/brunch and lunch items. I had the mushroom and crispy polenta salad and it was absolutely delicious. Lots of GF and Vegan options.“
“Beautiful neighborhood bookstore and coffee shop. Large selection of books with recommendations.Staff are friendly, and the vibe is good.We come here a lot with our laptops to work, and it’s nice to sit on that long table next to everyone else. Their coffee is pretty good, our usual order is Latte.“
“Josh is super nice and welcoming! He opened exactly at 7am and he even put an umbrella by the order window so that people won’t get wet by rain while ordering or waiting! I definitely will be back and I absolutely enjoyed my iced vanilla latte!“
“All foods I have tried here are very fresh, and people are always so welcoming. I especially like the strawberry matcha latte, squeezed orange juice, croissant ham sandwich, tuna kimbap, and the chicken salad. The turkey sandwich is great, too, as it has many fresh cut veggies inside, but I would recommend croissant sandwich over it as I just personally like the bread part being croissant better. There are seats inside the cafe, and although I have not eaten inside, it rather looked spacious.“
“When I came in here it felt like home! There is local art on the walls, the ambiance gives me the real La that I grew up with. The coffee is GOOD. The service is GREAT. The music was a vibe. Whether you come here to do some work or just to stop in for a coffee, it will all be worth it!!“
“The Sycamore Kitchen was such a delight, the space is really cute, the service was amazing (super friendly & very quick/efficient), the food is delicious (great portions for the cost, and tasted great), and the coffee was tasty.We had the Jerusalem Bowl & Eggs Benedict, both tasted very good & were sizable portions.Def will be back.“
“Bohemia is my go-to place for all things tea and coffee! Been coming here for years! The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff are super cool people and the tea menu is the most extensive I’ve ever seen. Everything I’ve tried here I’ve loved. Would definitely recommend checking it out!“

“I walked past at first, then came back, and man, am I glad I did. Wow! They were busy. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available and both were quite full. A very large line, but that was just those waiting for their order. I'm going to be honest, I thought the wait would be astounding but it took less than 15mins from ordering to being handed my bag. I got a large Rueben sandwich. They also come in regular, getting a large may have been a mistake. It's huge. I also ordered a double decker, they let you choose. Single or double. Curses free will. I also got a bag of peppercinis, was expecting a smaller bag, but again that didn't happen. I also got a caramel milkshake which was absolutely phenomenal. Finished it minutes it was so good. Would definitely recommend this as a takeout or dine in spot. Great food.“
“Came back for a sit down lunch one day- ordered the turkey pesto sandwich. It is beyond good!! The bread is so fresh and buttery/salty. I also tried the poppy oatmeal cookie- I personally wasn't a fan. The sandwiches and bread are divine though. Can't wait for my next trip.“
“Service was amazing here, many servers are moving around making sure you are okay. I tried the watermelon lemonade and it was so refreshing and good. The steak quesadilla was quality, lots of texture and flavor. I had tried their Culver City location and it was great. This location is just as good!!“
“Best meal we had in LA! Visiting from New Mexico and my wife and I enjoyed every bite of food and sip of wine from start to finish. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and each wine we tasted was unique and delicious. Inside of the restaurant is beautifully put together. Can’t wait to return! Excellent job Stir Crazy!!!“
“Saby’s is a cute authentic Mexican styled restaurant. It has the best vibes. The customer service is fantastic and the breakfast burritos are top tier! They also serve coffee and espresso shots in actual Mexican clay cups! (SO CUTE!) This small family owned business is a great place to spend your Saturday mornings or when you need to take breakfast on the go during the morning week rush. Either way, they got you covered.“
“Shoops has been in the regular rotation for our family for the last 6 years. Breakfast is incredible. Lunch is fantastic.We love the breakfast wraps; the body wrap and Aaron's wrap w/ bbq sauce on the side. For lunch it's all about the Salmon Caesar Salad or wrap or Ambassador sandwich.The staff is incredibly kind and always friendly. They always greeted us with a smile, recognized us and made the extra effort to make sure we were attended too.We are leaving Santa Monica and our weekend meals at/ from Shoops will be life long memories! It was even the first place we brought our son for his first meal out at 3 weeks old!Thanks Matt and Shoops family for making our breakfasts and lunches special for so many years :)“

“The very first I came, we were treated like family. That checks off service and quality. AJ and his family, and all the baristas are lovely humans. What's even better is the quality of food and flavors for the pricing. If they can make it your way, the will die trying. My loyalty is forever sealed. I absolutely love this place. Oh yes, before close it must be said, AJ is an absolute chemist when it comes to making your perfect drink. If only they were open on weekends. But since they also sell and grind bulk beans and teas of many varieties, you can get your fix until you can be catered to next week.“
“What a great breakfast/lunch spot! It's definitely a local spot. What doesn't go unnoticed is the amazing customer service! The vibe of this place is very welcoming! I have to note that all the ingredients are so fresh. I ordered a miso glaze salmon bowl and if you look at the image you'll see how big of a salmon pc I got! It was just enough greens and rice for a hearty meal! I also got their like a lady juice and it was perfect with this meal!Definitely will be back and I love that the walls have outlets so it's a good place to get some work done as well!They do have parking but it is in a plaza so it does get busy. There is a lot of street parking close by.“
“TMJ Café - A Haven for Donut Lovers If there's one thing you must try at TMJ Café, it's their Maple Bacon Donut. This delightful treat is nothing short of phenomenal. The donut itself is pillow-soft, providing the perfect canvas for the rich, sweet and savory toppings. The maple glaze is expertly balanced - not too sweet, just perfectly syrupy, complementing the crispy, savory bacon on top. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that leaves you craving more. The ambiance of TMJ Café adds to the experience, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's clear that they put a lot of love and care into their baked goods. And if the Maple Bacon Donut is anything to go by, the rest of their menu promises to be just as delightful. In summary, TMJ Café is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their Maple Bacon Donut is a standout, and I am eagerly looking forward to indulging in the rest of their delicious offerings. Oh goodness gracious, this is a donut lover's dream come true!“
“I've visited cafes on five continents, and this is among the very best. The coffee beans are exceptional, and the execution is equally good. The Americano was appropriately dense, with a wonderful balance of acidity and bitterness. No sugar or milk needed. The baked goods are of matching quality, with scones that are fittingly dense with just a hint of sweetness. Best of all is the communal nature of the spot, with patrons eager to converse. And this, my friends, can't be bought or sold. We'll be back!Vegetarian options: Vegan English scone“
“Cafe Lovi is our favorite neighborhood spot! The sandwiches are amazing. You will crave the challah bread after! They are also an Italian-style coffee shop. The espresso is amazing and our lattes are always the perfect ready-to-drink temperature. To top it all off, the staff are so welcoming and they are incredibly dog friendly! Our dog now guides us there on every walk!“
“Omg I'm still dreaming about the croissant breakfast sandwich I had on the way home from the beach. It was incredible, flaky, crispy, soft and melty. Something in it was so bright and delicious, I'm gonna have to make this a regular stop on my way to the beach next time. Staff was so friendly too, such a cute place.“
“The whole restaurant vibe was amazing. I went on a very crowded Saturday, but still managed to get seated in under 15 minutes. Great service. Great Food. They have a variety of options depending on your taste buds. The food is also very affordable for the quality. I will most definitely be returning for brunch!“
“I had left the ER in Santa Monica at 10:30pm desperately wanting a good coffee. Churros Caliente was the only place open. Something frustrating about West LA is everything closes by 9 ish.The service ,as soon as I walked in, was helpful without being overly enthusiastic. The waiter was spot on in his recommendation for me.Ordered Cafe con Leche. And a stuffed Churro. Both absolutely satisfied and soothed my tastes..I was delighted by this little cafe. Did I mention the music? Salsa on TV large enough to be part of Cafe without being obtrusive.Im also happy to have a place to meet a friend late at night.Savory items on menu too.“
“Awesome saucesome! The ladies in here were so nice.My gf and I got the apricot jelly?filling?jam? packed croissant which was to die for.Bacon breakfast burrito was stuffed with deliciousness, and came with a little side of salsa.10/10 experience. No wait, I meant 5/5 ⭐️!“
