Ken Kastenhuber: Awesome stop for breakfast that really hit the spot with some a carmalized onion scramble with peppers, feta cheese and a damn good cuppa joe. Down home vittles in the heart of LA.
Greg Jenness: This place is fantastic! Plus, the food is great and the service is so warm. Much better than most in LA.

katie: Croque monsieur is absolutely delicious cheesy goodness. Must-try. Also call and order ahead if you're planning on a weekday lunch.
People: Sure, you can get artisan cheese, pastries and preparedfoods at this family market, but the best dish could be on the patio — whereyou might spy stars like Jake Gyllenhaal mid-bite.
Bravo: Fresh seasonal food. I love to go there for breakfast and have the organic soft boiled eggs. -Malika Ameen, Top Chef Just Desserts
