For a laid-back neighborhood vibe that's also doggie friendly, Alcove is a great spot. You can order a drink from Big Bar, or try your own hand at cocktailing with their make-your-own-mimosa option. Read more

Great food (we had the crab cake Benedict and breakfast quesadilla), decent coffee, ambitious and expensive desserts, and a wonderful ambiance and outdoor dining space.

Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding! This was my first time trying bread pudding and I loved it. I ordered a second one to take home. Lamb burger was boring..

Turkey pesto panini is really good. Fries are amazing with blue cheese dressing. I've had cappuccino at alot of places, but none compare to Alcove. Love the outdoor seatting. Gets crowded sometimes.

The cocktails with #MezcalElSilencio at this place are unbelievable!! Very tasty and innovative. Order the sliders and the French fries, delicious as well. Beautiful outside seating. #BigBar mezcal

Pro tip: hack the brunch line by ordering cocktails from bar staff (the only table svc). The bloody Mary with green chile vodka was 👌. The food was not great; surprised by the high overall rating.

Check out the drive-in ‘walk-in’ movies while you enjoy some of their delectable food and drinks on their garden patio. (Dogs are welcome too.) http://bit.ly/OF4mTI -Style Wax Poetic

Outdoors on a warm summer night you might think yourself in a romantic dream. Try to tacos--salmon or steak. The cocktail of the day is always thoughtfully prepared. Best atmosphere #romantic

Perfect spot for hanging out with friends or for a date. Great selection of food and beverages but the greatest part is its patio which gives a European feel. Definitely a place to put on your list!

No matter the weather out, as soon as you walk in here smells so good that you feel in heaven. Take a look at the pastry menu and try something new. Everything here tastes delicious. #SharetheSilence

I just love this place. Divine desserts. Haven't had the food yet but I have yet to try something I don't like. Pineapple upside down cakes are so damn butter!
Alex StrausMarch 14, 2015
The make a Mexicano here which is amazing. Ancho Reyes, Campari and soda. Soooo good. They have Atlantico rum which makes the best daiquiris. And of course, the tequila Ocho here is divine.

huevos benedict are delicious. Added some buttermilk pancakes w/ strawberry and banana. Haven't had a breakfast this good in a long time.

The ambience is great; wine list is acceptable for daytime business meetings. You can't go wrong ordering to your tastes on the menu. This place is reliably fulfilling.

Really cool ambiance. Small bar, but great bartenders that know how to make a drink. The restaurant ordering process is neat. Cool place to bring someone out for a date!

If the Alcove had a Ken doll it's accessories would include boat shoes, a SAGcard & a popped collar. Nice al fresco dining. Not a fan of ordering @the crowded counter. Tipping upon ordering preferred.

One of my favorite places to have breakfast in LA, the blackened salmon with the house salad is exquisite

Love the salads. No parking space, too sweet pastry but a nice place to hang out with friends

Coffee & croissant kind of a day! Try lunch outside or if you need to work there are tables behind the bar. Quiet and comfy. #SharetheSilence 🐇

everyone is so nice. great Grilled shrimp salad- recommend dressing on side.. can get kinda soppy... i once ordered triple berry cake for my mom's b-day & ate entire thing myself. was ginormous too.

Delicately placed in two historic cottages in Los Feliz, Alcove is the perfect lunch spot with garden patio seating, delicious food and impressive baked goods! —Jessica B.

If you're going to drink something, get their lemonade, its crazy delicious! Their carnitas tacos are worth ordering, trust me.
JenniferNovember 9, 2014
There's a fancy new bar but you can always order booze from the regular food line as well. And they'll deliver your drink!

Large size salads good for a lot of dietary needs. I would recommend to lighten up on the oil for the Farro salad though...

These buildings are actually two of the oldest houses in Los Feliz. The first was the Craftsman cottage built in 1897. The second was the Spanish duplex built in 1916 which fronts on Hillhurst.

The outdoor seating is very cozy and lovely the food is very fresh and the inside's decoration is awesome. Love that place

Salad with chicken and strawberry vinegar is super good (and super big). Neighborhood destination for desserts!!
FashionablyMarketing.MeAugust 30, 2011
The Kali Heart Pinot Noir and Cheese plate are the perfect combo. Or you can do sliders & fries. I don't know what they put in the ketchup here. Love it.

Nedy LutfiJune 16, 2010
It's hard to find a restaurant with an extensive menu and have it all be consistently delicious - but from a salmon breakfast plate, to a turkey and hummus melt, to a steak salad... anything and every

Try to avoid usual eating times because it gets real busy. Also if it's too hot and sunny you might want to be indoors.

It is very sandwich/salad heavy, but they do have a few good entree items & M-F happy hour specials! 11/10 on ambiance.

Go in the back, sit at the checkers table against the wall. 3 little drawers on each side of the table will uncover little secret moments of people's lives... Amazing!

Service can be space-y at time, but the best coffee/food and amazing conversations to overhear.

great outdoor patio seating. perfect hangout and meeting spot. get the spinach salad!
James GuberaFebruary 18, 2012
Definitely a place where you crack and get dessert. Go during non-peak hours; less crowded and MUCH easier to find a table.
Sam KSeptember 10, 2014
One of my favorite places. They good desserts and food. Definitely recommend this place!!!
SaraAugust 15, 2011
The fries are to die for. The cakes are to die for. The atmosphere is to die for. I cannot stress it enough - check this place out.
Erika RobbinsJuly 2, 2016
Great food any time of day! The lamb burger is a definite winner.

Strawberry pancake was so good. Out doors setting is so nice.

With the heat lamps on, sitting outside is nice and toasty. Try the portobello sandwich! Delicious.
