William PomerantzFebruary 9, 2019Excellent service. When our excited toddler accidentally knocked over a coffee, the servers immediately helped clean it up, and replaced the beverage—with adorable animal art in the foam of the drink- Christopher ONeillFebruary 16, 2013There were sounds made while eating the Portabelo Egg Benedict, Bacon Caramel Pancakes and Banana Citrus French Toast that are usually reserved for the privacy of my own home. I need cigarette. DIEM
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaOctober 21, 2014We had the banana citrus caramel brioche French toast and the chorizo baked egg... They were so good! I'm not a breakfast food kind of person but I loved this place.
Nina MarieMay 12, 2013Quick & good food. Pancakes are sweet & fluffy, mocha was perfect, fresh squeezed OJ & more! 4 of us went all different dishes & all satisfied. Ps u can bring your own champagne too :)
Brandon HAugust 7, 2014Great breakfast spot. It's a hidden gem nestled in the shadow of the Scientology building. Rotating seasonal dishes are great. Try the fresh squeezed juices.
Anastasia PaninaMarch 27, 2018Very tasty food and big portions! Best pancakes and salmon with shirred eggs😍 Everybody need to have a breakfast here!🥞🔝🔝🔝♥️
Best French Toast I've had in my life, get it with all the fixins ie w/bourbon-pecan topping and vanilla whipped cream. Angelinos don't wake up early so if you get there before 10 wait won't be long
Los AngelesNovember 18, 2013Start with stone-ground grits, then pancakes or French toast, available with hot or cold toppings which rotate seasonally. Baked egg dishes are hearty!
Ricardo YeowartOctober 9, 2017Outstanding stuff. Catered perfectly well for vegans and non vegans alike. Good coffee too.
Mohammed 🍴August 3, 2017Garlic chicken omelet was good choice, black coffee one of the best that i have ever taste
Bobby KennedyMarch 2, 2016Great little cafe with a cute outdoor dining area in back. Lots of tasty breakfast dishes. Their chorizo is amazing.
Kats QuintanillaApril 11, 2011I use to work here as a host! So people are friendly the waitress etc. Although saturday n Sunday around 12pm there can be a longggg wait now it is better to get there early ! FOOd Is GREAt:) YUmMy
Ann KudriavtsevaNovember 1, 2019There is the best place for breakfast. All dishes is very tasty and coffee is great
- Anthony ChengMarch 19, 2015Their brioche French toast with banana citrus caramel is absolutely to die for. I can't stress enough. Get it!!!
Christine LeeDecember 4, 2011It doesn't seem like a breakfast sandwich would be tough but this place does it beautifully. Fluffy, scrambled eggs, thick strips of bacon, frise, and aioli make a simple but awesome breakfast
Peter KooimanMarch 28, 2017I ordered the chickadee China and the waiter totally knew that meant the Chinese Chicken Salad. Yes! 😆
Miriam RitchieJanuary 16, 2012The egg's Benedict is the perfect cure for a Sunday hangover. But be ready to wait! Sunday brunch is popular and they don't take reservations.
Daniela GOctober 22, 2012The little treasure of the neighborhood! Parking can be tricky but their eggs and vanilla latte are well worth it!
Dennis LoquetDecember 3, 2018Best breakfast we had in LA. More expensive than the usual diners but way better quality.
Top three must-eats: French toast, chorizo omelet (w/ grits), & migas tacos. All w/ the Intelligentsia coffee, of course.
The pear add on to the french toast is amazing. Best applewood smoked bacon EVER - 2 huge thick pieces (it'll blow your mind), everything is so fresh!
Angela LeusApril 5, 2010Fav brunch place in all of LA. They use organic/local/small farm produce and all meat is hormone free. Even the fruit bowl is amazing (figs, persimmons, mangos, etc.)
Tarah FeinbergJune 24, 2011Breakfast quesadilla with eggs, squash blossoms, jalepenos & cheddar. It was a special, but they have similar dishes regularly.
Eric BreeseOctober 13, 2014Cold-brew coffee paired with the Migas Tacos is a phenomenal way to start the day.
Great food and long lines. Early birds get to eat and enjoy the rest of their day.
Anthony LagascaJune 15, 2012They have a great outdoor patio in the back. Great ambiance and friendly and attentive service.
Kitty LOctober 16, 2011Order an iced coffee when you put your name on the list- you can drink it outside while you wait!
Geri CNovember 18, 2012Don't even think about getting anything else but the French Toast... with figs hazelnuts and vanilla cream.
Alodie DuanteMay 1, 2012Suggest getting fresh squeezed OJ and french toast with banana citrus caramel :)
If you get lucky, there is no wait if you are willing to sit at the communal table.
Chris SandemanJanuary 16, 2017Annoying seating policy. Criminal coffee policy. Too many good alternatives to jump through hoops for a meal. Won't be back, but think maybe they were just having a bad day. Or maybe I was.
