“Garcia brothers Cafe is absolutely amazing. The staff is very attentive. The food is killer. The atmosphere, ambiance is amazing. Absolutely my favorite Cafe.“

“It was an unfamiliar European-style (Eastern European?) meal. The taste was better than expected. You may have different preferences for some foods, but overall, it was a dish you could enjoy without burden. This is a restaurant that women will really enjoy.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Bostan by Grandma! Their Gata is truly out of this world. soft, with a sweetness that’s just right, not overpowering like so many others. Every bite reflects the love and expertise they put into their baking. You can taste the difference that high-quality, organic ingredients make; everything has the perfect balance of flavor. I’ve tried several of their other pastries, and they’re all equally amazing. It’s rare to find such authentic, flavorful food made with such care and attention. Bostan by Grandma has truly mastered the art of baking, and you can feel the passion in every item. Highly recommend!“

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

Love this place, I get breakfast & lunch here haha remember they close at 2 PM so make it there on time and get a FEW meals. (Try all items on the menu to find your favorite!)“

“Our Elite Tabletop Family cannot say enough great things about Cafe 50’s! From the way we were GREETED, TREATED, & SERVED, to the way they’ve continued to treat our daughter like FAMILY since she’s arrived in Santa Monica. They’ve been nothing less than spectacular and are the epitome of what a True, neighborhood nostalgic 50’s diner encompasses. No other establishment has ever provided fun toys & items of entertainment while waiting for our food. We thank Benjamin for that! Victor the GM checked on our table and made sure Kim our waitress was taking care of us! Kim was a fantastic server and we never once waited for a refill on anything. The staff @ Cafe 50’s take pride in their customer service & establishment and they deserve all the recognition! You have our family’s support for life Cafe 50’s! We would ❤️ to support you, supporting the local community!“

“Excelente lugar y ambientes agradable.. Buenísimo café!!!“

“This secret coffee breakfast and lunch spot is the best tasting food and value in the Westside bar none. Tucked into a lobby spot on Sawtelle, you can get a giant delicious egg breakfast with fantastic potatoes or chicken sausage for under $20. Coffees, waffles, sandwiches top notch. Why go to all of the douchey influencer spots. Great service and the guys here are always friendly pros. Check it out!!!“

“Enjoyed sitting outdoors with my daughter and two granddaughters after their Kaiser appointments. I had a very tasty Turkey Club sandwich with waffle fries, while my daughter enjoyed a great omelette and her kids had mini-Belgian waffles with sprinkles. Just Perfect!!“

“It does not feel like you were in LA county. This place takes me right back to the country and every general store Café I’ve ever been to. The portions are solid, especially for the lower than expecting prices. The atmosphere is full on country. The music is country.and everyone is friendly and kind. The food is fresh and made to order. And it hasn’t changed in the 20 years I’ve been going. I am never disappointed and I am always satisfied.“

Place was really clean and food was really good overall we had a good breakfast with an awesome waitress that made the experience easy since I went alone with my toddler which sometimes it could be hard which she was super sweet with him.“

“Stopped here on the way to the airport and I was not disappointed! I had a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette (not on the menu exactly) with country potatoes and it was delicious! The coffee was good, the food came fast and got and the server was great. I'll be eating here again when I'm back in town. But they are cash only, luckily I had some on hand . . .“

“Auntie Beulah's isn't just a meal, it's an experience. From the fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits to the hella hot biscuit's fiery kick, every bite was a flavor explosion.Let's start with the star of the show: the poutine gravy fries. Creamy, cheesy gravy blanketing perfectly crispy fries - it's the ultimate comfort food, elevated. The chicken tenders were juicy and perfectly seasoned, offering a delicious crunch with each bite.For a sweet treat, the French toast sticks were heavenly. Dipped in maple syrup, they were soft, fluffy, and the perfect way to satisfy a sweet tooth. But wait, there's more! The smothered biscuits were smothered in rich, flavorful gravy, making them a hearty and satisfying dish. And the cheesy grits? Oh my, the cheesy grits! Creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-good, they were the perfect side to any dish.Speaking of sides, the banana pudding was a delightful ending to the feast. Fresh bananas layered with creamy pudding and whipped cream - it was the perfect touch of sweetness to top off an incredible meal.A special shoutout to the hella hot biscuit. This one packs a punch! If you love spicy food, this is definitely for you. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare, it's a flavor adventure worth exploring.The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall warm and inviting atmosphere. Auntie Beulah's is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where you can feel the love and passion poured into every dish. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu!Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for delicious Southern comfort food with a modern twist. 5 stars all around!P.S. You won't regret ordering everything I mentioned, but if you have to choose, the poutine gravy fries and hella hot biscuit are must-tries!“

“Love the Americana and nothing better than an egg on a sandwich“

“Amazing customer service and excellent food!! I will definitely be back!“

“Amazing service and Amazing food! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Great service. Reasonable prices, a really rare thing in west LA and Santa Monica. Great breakfasts and pancake meals all day. Family friendly. Accomodates large gatherings well. New inclusive menu. Great senior and kiddie meal deals, carafes of coffee. Free parking. Almost empty during happy hour time because they don't serve alcohol! 😄“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“Whenever we are even close to Downtown LA and staying in a hotel for a night or more, we have IHop delivered. It is just the best.

We have eaten at this one more than once and it is clean, the service just great and the whole place is very comfortable. The servers are always nice.

This time we had it delivered and it was, as always so good. They pack it all in such a way there is no way it can get ruined or food mixed with other food. The delivery is fast and I have never had an issue, not once.

This time we had burgers, which were so good with bacon and cheese. My grandson had a grilled cheese sandwich with French fries and he loved it. I am the huge pancake lover in the family so I had their big breakfast that comes with the best, most fluffy and perfect pancakes along with hash browns and bacon, ham and sausage. It was all great and I saved the meat for our dogs who were waiting for us to get home (we were at a hotel nearby).

It is just the best and the prices are so fair. You will pay much more for some fancy place, but their pancakes won't be as good.

We love it. We are addicted.“

“Best Chinese chicken salad and service was great. Good seeing so many of the ladies. Thanks for the great photos. Gigi“

“great service and hospitality and also really good food. second time we been back since we're visiting LA from Vegas. I highly recommend eating here.“

“Absolutely hands down the most delicious ham cheese egg croissant! Coffee was delicious too.Delightful and relaxing cafe. The folks are so gracious.Celebrating post visa appointment at French Consulate was made more special with Cafe Cinema.Cheers!“

“Delicious food with feelings of home. This is a lowkey spot with a large menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’ve been here a couple of times and their food is consistently delicious and definitely authentic. It’s a good spot to dine in. I’m vegetarian and there are easy options without meat. I already can’t wait to come back“

“This place is the real deal! I found it over the Fourth of July and was blown away. I'm glad I went later in the week, 'cause I bet it was packed on the weekend. The food, the people, and the whole vibe were great! I even met some other people visiting. Seriously, go hungry, 'cause the portions are massive! You'll be stuffed when you leave. Definitely recommend it!“

“Got the veggie omelette today. Perfectly cooked. Very nice, fresh spring greens and country potatoes on side.

I come here also for the farfalle marinara: my kid's fav. Sauce is super, best we've had, she asks for this dish twice a month.

I have their pasta punch card for repeat customers. When I get a free small pasta I usually choose the penne aglio olio, a very nice snack, piping hot, fresh out the pan.

Quiet location, family vibe.

I've seen some negative reviews here, but my experience always been stellar & yummy here; it's why I keep coming back.“

“Since my son is a vegan we decided to try it for brunch. Great healthy food and friendly service.“

“Honestly very impressed with this place. Don't expect fine dining or anything unusual. But if you're looking for classic diner fare you won't be disappointed. Got their big French toast (available all day) which is a feast of breakfast food (eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and of course 4 pieces of French toast).“

“Food was so good, I forgot to take a picture before I nearly finished it. Large, perfect-sized portion.

Best $12 breakfast burrito I’ve ever had this side of LA. Service is fast, staff is friendly. The carne asada not only satisfied my tummy but also warmed my cold January 2025 morning.

Hot coffee with brown sugar and cinnamon was just $3. Homemade stuff is the best.

You the man, Art! We need more of this community love in the world especially how fiery the year has started.

Located behind Bank of America.
Open Tue-Sat @ 6:30-11:30am & Sun @ 8am-12pm (noon).“

“I recently discovered Garden Cafe, I work quite close to it and didn't even know it! The inside is small but well decorated. I ordered the Mediterranean vegetarian wrap. It was good, not the greatest, but good. There are a few other vegetarian options I will have to try, and I heard their breakfast is really good! I will have to come back again.“

“We had breakfast, ordered off the Western menu and the eggs bene was excellent. Then we went for dinner the same night, I had the grilled mackerel and soup dinner, great presentation, tons of banchan selection, and super tasty. Restaurant is on the 2nd floor, and the service was excellent.“

“Call ahead! The wait at the sandwich section can - at times - be a bit slow & tedious and can cost you half your lunch hour. Plus I don't love the fact that their default channel is "Fix News". Still, the salad bar is fabulous. Also, Maggie and Ruby absolutely rock! :-)“
