Place is great. It was my first time. Good food and big portions.

Coming on and going from the hospital it's the easiest place to eat. The people are very friendly.

I live this place, especially the huevos rancheros!

Love the food here. Pricey but good. The service is horrible. The two women in the front are rude. I’m Not sure if they are aware that without the customers… they would be jobless.

I went to Cafe Zelle daily while visiting the UCLA medical center. The service was excellent each time and the food was fantastic. I wish I lived closer to come more often!

Came to check out this place because it is conveniently located across the Santa Monica Medical Center. The place is pretty small but the menu has lots of different food items which include breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and fresh juice. The cashier was super nice and my food (chorizo burrito) was freshly made and delicious. I would definitely come back to try other food items.

It's a small shop and they are really doing there best but the muffins were overcooked and the eggs were also overcooked. When we got some water out of their water dispenser, there was unknown brown specs in it. Only two other people were there other then the workers and us.

This is an outstanding cafe. On our many visits there we have had chicken avocado panini, salmon and arugula salad, BLT with avocado, arugula and roasted pear salad, huevos rancheros, buttermilk pancakes, fresh fruit and tuna melts. Each and every dish was spectacular. The presentation is flawless. The quality of the ingredients are all outstanding. The paninis and the huevos rancheros are by far the best I have ever eaten. Actually...everything we ordered was the best that we have every eaten.To top it all of the people who work there are cheerful, friendly and very welcoming. This place deserves an A+++.

Lesley served my boyfriend, our kitty Benji, and myself today (yes, we kept him outside) we ordered a couple of coffee’s and two egg sandwiches on croissants. The price point was great, $6 bucks for a great sandwich! Coffee as great too! Lesley made us feel so welcomed. Not only with amazing service but a huge smile! We expressed we just moved to the area and immediately introduced herself and told us about her love for cats :) Thank you for making our day!!
Cafe had some seating inside, a nice selection of baked goods, a nice menu with big portions, and patio seating outside.
This will be our new local spot <3

Love this place! Used to be regular when I was living close. Loved their food, pastries and drinks! Would recommend try their whole menu.
I've been a regular at this café for a long time, and my school brings them a lot of business. My friends and I frequently buy food here and use the space to study, but recently we had an awful experience that will make me reconsider ever coming back.
One of the employees was incredibly rude and unprofessional. My friend and I were studying outside, just like we always do, and out of nowhere, this employee came up to us and kicked us out. The way they handled the situation was completely disrespectful, considering how much we and our school support this place.
I’ve never been treated so poorly at an establishment I regularly support. If this is how they treat their loyal customers, I don’t see any reason to come back. It's a shame because we used to enjoy coming here, but after this experience, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.

Visited three times, with a number of different friends and family members. The food has consistently been great. Notably fresh ingredients, truly delicious. Highly recommended for both breakfast and lunch.

Really just meh. I only got a latte, but it wasn't great and the service was not friendly. I'd choose somewhere else next time.

I love this place! When I got out of surgery, I was starving and they were nearby the hospital so I ordered their burger and it was like heaven on earth for me and I’ve been going back whenever I had the chance (I don’t live close to SM, so it’s sometimes a drive) but their bacon cheeseburger is to die for! One thing that did bum me out was when I had gone in on a Sunday and they said they weren’t making any burgers, but I think it’s because it was slow. I bring everyone here and enjoy their food every single time.
