Café · Mid-City West · 288 tips and reviews
Latifah AlThunayan: The buttermilk pancake with seasonal fruits on a side is a must try.
Cady Groves: The best espresso (I’m obsessed) and homemade desserts. Skip the other dishes and come for the low-key, "work-on-your-laptop" coffee shop experience. Read more.
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.

Donut Shop · Mid-City West · 68 tips and reviews
LAist: Baked using less sugar than regular donuts, yet still perfectly delicious. You'll find fresh seasonal fruits, the requisite bacon, gluten-free selections, and savory bites. Read more.
Jesse: For those who are dairy free, gluten free AND soy free, try the chocolate coconut or passion fruit coconut. Unlike some of the other df fonuts, these are soy free (and oh-so-delicious) as well.
Joe Murphy Librarian: Great (and I mean GREAT) vegan and gluten free donuts. Not fried. So delicious.

Italian Restaurant · Mid-City West · 46 tips and reviews
Bullfrog & Baum: This Italian influenced restaurant has quite the innovative menu. Start with the crudo bar and then a more traditional dish that is created pure and light, with an emphasis on provenance, & seasonally
Kirsten Alana: If the 'Blueberry Limonata' is on the menu, order it. Great, refreshing cocktail that perfectly showcases its namesake flavors.
Phoenix 💥💥💥: Go for the three-course dinner
GNTLMN: Start off your day with an amazing breakfast at the Quality!
Lauren Fox: Best homemade raspberry jam and biscuits! Highly recommend!
Michael Simpson: I've tried to like this place, but just can't. Thumbs up to the biscuits, clean bathrooms, and valet parking. Thumbs down to lukewarm food and bringing the check while you are still eating.
Jason Yeh: Come before they stop serving breakfast, and just order the salted caramel sticky pecan babka and the best breakfast sandwich in LA. Also grab a Stumptown cold brew to wash it down.
schaax: try chicken chow bow pasta
Los Angeles Times: The turkey sandwich is heavenly: thick slices of nicely brined bird layered on dense house-made bread with thin slivers of just-ripe Camembert cheese, arugula and cherry mostarda. Read more.
Hotel Tonight: Classic LA rooftop action includes a pool with private cabanas, a hip bar and views of the Hollywood Hills.
Tony Xerri: The rooms were clean, chic, and had HBO with an HDMI output for all you traveling with an XBox or PS3. Service was flawless and guests also get free access to the L.A. Fitness at Fairfax and Ogden.
Emmalee: Really cool roof top lounge

New American Restaurant · Mid-City West · 69 tips and reviews
Rachel K: I used to recommend cocktails here. Who doesn't love getting slightly tipsy and wandering through modern art? However, they've revamped the cocktail menu to be much shorter, with cheap spirits at $15
Lanell: Love the seasonal menu and large cocktail selection!
Karri Northrop: Rose wishes cocktail is the jam! Don't wait for a table, grab a seat in the bar area :)
