the Challah salmon and cream cheese toast was delicious. I was expecting a small potion but it was actually huge 😋 The latte I was also pretty good. The atmosphere is pleasant, I almost forgot how small the space was 🤭

The new owner is amazing! Really good food and the atmosphere is so cozy! The service was beyond- helpful and very friendly. Outdoor seating - perfect spot for a sunny lunch. Will definitely come again.

This is the first time I write a bad review about a place with have great food but awful waiter/cashier. This time was a guy who gave us the most unwelcome looks and attitude since we set a foot in the place. We order a couple of toasts and a protein shake. The protein shake was placed on the table that part of the shake came out of the cup. The guy who was working start to clean making extra noise. By 2:24 PM he warned us that the establishment closed at 3 PM. Update your schedule since Google says that you close at 3:30 PM. The attitude of this guy was what make me write the review and encourage people that if you walk in, you might have the luck to run into a rude, with an attitude waiter to eat an overpriced toast. Not coming again and making sure our people in LA does not show up around here. Peace to the rude cashier or as I would say in my language “Que te jodan”

I was really confused by this place. Food and vibes were off; the latte was good.
I love supporting Jewish businesses, and naturally, seeing challah on the menu, thought this was a Jewish/Israeli establishment.
I came in later in the afternoon, so they were about to close. For 1 piece of toast and some lettuce on the side, this was way overpriced. I also asked for GF bread availability and got so much attitude from the blonde cashier (she may have been in training; they had the GF bread but wanted to charge $4 extra without warning (!?!?!?!)). She also gave attitude when I asked to see the menu (they list everything out on the wall, sorry I just didn't see!).
Took them 15 minutes to get that toast out. I was the only one in the cafe. Benny seemed really nice; she kind of took over the order when it was getting too long.
I usually go to Lodge Bread Co for this kind of food (Mediterranean breakfast/brunch, Israeli-owned). Sadly a miss. Not coming back here, unfortunately.
