I had such a great experience at Cafe Landwer in Brentwood! The restaurant is super cute inside and makes for the perfect spot for breakfast or lunch with friends and family. We were seated immediately without a reservation, which was a huge plus. Our server was so sweet and attentive. I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but despite having a lot of tables, he did a great job checking on us and making thoughtful recommendations from the menu. The food came out quickly, and everything we ordered was incredible! We tried the chicken thigh skewers, shakshuka served with the most amazing challah-style bread, and eggs benedict. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous. What really impressed me was the value. For the quality of the food, portion sizes, and overall experience, the prices were so reasonable, especially for Brentwood. Definitely a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family, and I would absolutely come back! read more

Breakfast Burrito's! Those are a staple and a must-order! Top brunch place on the West Side/Brentwood for sure! They have many good options on the menu, range of items to choose from for breakfast and lunch. Vegetarian and Vegan friendly. Their pancake platter is so aesthetic & tasty. Most of the items I've ordered on their menu has been a hit every time I've visited. The interior design, no words. Great interior design choice, has much personality in design choice and menu options. Always has great service and a pleasure doing business with them. Parking situation: street parking might be available if you're lucky, but there is the building underground garage available few storefronts down. You have to pay for parking in the garage, but is worth it if you are eating here. read more

My friend and I accidentally stumbled upon Cafe Landwer, and it did not disappoint. I loved the diner aesthetics of the restaurant, and the service was friendly. I tried the schnitzel, which came with a generous portion of fries. The schnitzel was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which made a simply but satisfying meal. The portion size was also huge and filling, and I had to take over a small part for leftovers. read more

Cafe Landwer - Landwer's Famous Schnitzel* - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We really enjoyed our brunch here! I absolutely loved the croissant sandwich I ordered--it was soft, fluffy, and surprisingly light without feeling greasy. My mom ordered the Famous Breakfast. It looked like their signature dish, and the portion was huge--definitely enough to share. Everything tasted fresh and light. My husband had the avocado toast and a roasted eggplant dish. The eggplant was slightly over-roasted with a hint of char, but everything else was delicious. The tea and desserts were both excellent and made a perfect ending to the meal. The service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

I arrived around 11am for lunch and was seated right away at Cafe Landwer! Servers were friendly and attentive, and the food came out pretty quickly. I chose to sit outside on their little patio area which felt lively with nice views of the street. I ordered the chicken schnitzel which was honestly incredible. It came out piping hot and fresh, and I appreciated how thinly pounded the chicken was and how nicely crispy (and salted) the breading was. It came with very thin battered french fries which I also thought were the perfect compliment to this dish! Parking in this area is a bit tough on the street especially in the mornings, but I was able to find a metered spot eventually! read more

Cafe Landwer - Chicken Landwer's Famous Schnitzel* - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered from this restaurant via Grubhub a number of times, but I've never been there myself because I hate the parking situation in Brentwood. We tried the Chicken salad, schnitzel challah sandwich (absolutely to die for! full of flavor!), French fries, kids' pizza, and the chicken shawarma pita sandwich. My kid really liked their schnitzel and fries! If you have a picky eater, try ordering them the schnitzel; it's crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, not spicy, and satisfying. The customer service is also great, cause once the Grubhub driver forgot the 'kids' pizza, and when I called the restaurant, they told me they handed it to him in a pizza tray, so he must have forgotten it in his car. Next time I order food from here, I really want to try the homemade bourekas, the shakshuka, and, of course, their hummus!! read more

We came here for lunch. Nothing special but portions are huge. I got the shawarma tray, it was alright but the chicken was a bit dry so probably wouldn't order it again. Service was quick and polite. We say outside, it's on the second floor so it's a nice area as long as you pick the tables that are covered from the sun. read more

We walked over from my friend's place and were met by the lovely blonde server, Tati who sat us on the patio and welcomed us warmly. Our server, Max was a delight. He was super knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the chicken thigh skewers, which were amazing. The salad that comes with it is also delicious and the pomegranates give it a perfect amount of crunch. The manager, Sary, also came over to greet us and tell us shout how the menu is really influenced my many countries in the Mediterranean, which you can tell from the diverse menu. We had GF and Vegan diners and we all really enjoyed it and felt that there were great options for us! The most notable thing though, was the stellar service. They are really doing it right!! Thanks!! read more

Ambiance and decor is amazing. We arrived early so there was no wait line food took longer than usual. Prices are a little above average dining costs. The pancake combo was okay but the breakfast burrito they offer I'd 100% get again. the food/drinks was mid not worth the $65-70 we paid, we've only seen the waitress once taking our meal and then once taking our bill and mind you it was not busy. read more

Pretty solid spot for Mediterranean. Normally this gives off the hipster vibes that leaves the food as a big question mark but I think they hit the mark here. The salad I had was very flavorful and the salmon was cooked just right with a slight outer crisp and soft interior. The falafel plate was a nice surprise, with the pita having a nice chew. Overall would recommend and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The garage parking is pretty easy but it was about $4 for a little over an hour when we were there on a Saturday morning. read more

Had the chicken shawarma hummus added mushrooms. So creamy flavorful and delicious! The pita bread that comes with it is fluffy and full of flavor as well. Also had the lotus rozalach and asked for extra cookie butter. They roll out the dough fresh and make to order. Anyone who is a cookie butter fan has to try this. Great service as well. read more

The menu has changed from their former location at Westfield Mall in Century City and I'm distraught. Many of my favorites, like the vegan stirfry, are gone. The Greek salad remains but is very different. My family and I - all landwer loyalists - stopped in on a Saturday for brunch. Service was remarkably slow. We were there two hours in total because even placing our order took about 20 minutes. The server happily filled my dad's tea over and over again with no mention that it would be a new charge each time. Ultimately I'm disappointed. This is not the Landwer I know and love from Century City or Boston. BRB CRYING read more

Good food and nice environment! The fries were also so addicting, lattes were alright just regular latte, not too strong or too sweet. The chicken was good and loved the rice, good flavors all around. :))) Service was good as well! read more

Cafe Landwer - House blend tea, Matcha latte, Lotus biscuit - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The food was average at best, and the service was terrible. We waited more than 30 minutes to be seated, even though there were plenty of open tables, because they were taking their time cleaning them. Once we were finally seated, it took another 15 minutes for the waiter to come over. We ordered the breakfast and a burekas. The breakfast was nothing special, and the burekas was dry and did not taste fresh. After waiting another 20 minutes for the food, the manager came over right before it arrived to tell us they were out of the bread we had requested. When I mentioned how long everything had taken, he responded rudely, saying, "What do you expect? It's Sunday," as if the poor service was somehow our fault. Overall, it was not a good experience. Between the long waits, average food, and rude management, I would not come back. read more

Amazing service! Lovely people! Incredible food!! Made me think of home, it's comfort and a flavorful meal all wrapped in one! The Nutella latte is addictive be careful! The challa schnitzel was outrageously good! Tender chicken in a crunchy crust, what more could you want?? The potatoes I could dream about them later perfectly crispy and soft on the inside! My partner devoured the shawarma pita! Absolutely delicious and amazing anniversary experience! Loved every moment please put this in your to do list you will thank the lucky stars you did read more

I can't get enough of their Nutella latte--it is dangerously moreish! The bright, inviting interior and incredibly friendly staff make every visit a joy. Over my last three visits, I've worked my way through the menu: the Branzino, the chicken schnitzel, and the seared salmon were all fantastic. Just be sure to pair any meal with their signature Nutella latte!" read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience on 6/21/2026 ( Father's day ) Was very disappointing. I made a reservation for eight people, including three children, for a family brunch at 9:45am As soon as we were seated, we felt rushed to place our order ( place order at 9:55am ) time show on receipt . Before we even had a chance to relax and enjoy our meal, the staff began rushing us to finish and leave the table. We were essentially told we needed to leave within about an hour because the restaurant was busy. While I understand restaurants have busy days, customers who make reservations should still be given enough time to enjoy their meal. Unfortunately, the food was also disappointing. Several dishes arrived cold, the presentation was underwhelming, and the Turkish coffee wasn't even served hot. By 11:06am we had paid our check and left Next day Monday 6/22/2026 I called to manager He acknowledged that we had been rushed and apologized for the experience. He offered to go back for one night to be his guest, but I told him we do not feel comfortable to go back Then he said he will give me credit back to my credit card. Until 7/13/2026 I did not get credit back to my card I called him After my call I received $25.00 credit back to my card I feel like he installed me with this He never honored his word to give full credit back to my card. Overall, the experience felt rushed from beginning to end. Between the poor service, cold food, being hurried out despite having a reservation, and the unfulfilled promise from management, our family left feeling disappointed and undervalued. Good customer service isn't just about apologizing--it's about following through. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet the standards we expected, and I hope management takes this feedback seriously so future guests are treated with more care and respect read more

We had a truly exceptional experience here this evening, so much so that I really felt compelled to leave a review, which I rarely do. The service, the food, everything was top notch, and we were so well taken care of!! And it was my birthday, so it was made really special :) everyone is so kind and helpful here, from the waiters to the hosts to the managers! And the food.. everything tonight was SOOOO good!! I highly highly recommend the halloumi fries and the Jerusalem salad! And the doughy dessert with the biscoff sauce is truly A MUST GET!!!! No really, you HAVE to get it!! I also loveee the patio outside and so lovely to sit there on a summer evening!! I would absolutely rate everything tonight an A++++ and am SO happy to have them in the neighborhood, a place where they treat you like family! I live up the street and tell all my neighbors to go.. run don't walk!! read more

I love the food. We have eaten there many times. However last night we went with a party of 8. The hostess was super rude. The place was practically empty but she would not accommodate our group. We also had a dog with us and she requested to see her device certificate. Everyone in Brentwood brings their dogs out. Do we left to the awesome food and service across the street. I'm am super disappointed. read more

I can't give 3.5 stars, so I'll be generous with 4. I heard about this restaurant from 3 coworkers, thought I'd give it a try. Ordered the chicken shawarma pita sandwich. At first bite, I was overwhelmed by a strong flavor I couldn't initially place. After a few more, I realized it was turmeric and tahini. That's literally all I tasted (except the pita, more on that later). In addition, I only received 2 out of the 5 toppings listed on the menu. The sandwich included a side of amba, which I initially thought was pepperoncini. Unfortunately for me, the amba wasn't very flavorful, nor did it help balance out the turmeric. In my opinion, pepperoncini or pickled red onions would brighten up and balance the flavor profile a bit more. I warmed up to the flavors as I continued eating. However, all I could think of is how much better it would taste with toppings meant for the sandwich. There was maybe one teaspoon of chopped tomatoes/cucumbers on each pita half. The caramelized onions, hummus, and pickles were all missing. I can't say it's an awful sandwich; but I WILL say it lacked the toppings I was expecting and the overwhelming turmeric/tahini flavor with minimal toppings threw me off completely. After lunch, I double-checked the menu to see if perhaps I misread the description. Surprisingly, there's no mention of turmeric at all. Now onto the positives. The pita. THE PITA! Wow, it was outstanding. 11/10. Best I've ever had. Highly recommend. The sandwich itself is a generous size, large enough to share or split into lunch/dinner. Pickup was easy, order was ready on time, in and out of parking within the 15-minute grace period. I personally wouldn't order this dish again. However, you can't go wrong with their pita bread! I might swing by for pancakes someday... they look delish. I'm rooting for this business, as I know the location is a tough-sell and was happy to see many patrons enjoying lunch on the patio . Perhaps this restaurant is known for its turmeric flavor, so please forgive my ignorance if that's the case. T'wasn't my cup of tea. read more

The food was excellent, and the service was the best I've experienced in a long time. Our server, Damiaan, made the entire visit especially pleasant with his attentive and friendly service. We started with the hummus and smoked eggplant, both of which were delicious and full of flavor. For our main course, we had the chicken shawarma--both the plate and the sandwich--and each was outstanding. I look forward to returning and trying more items on the menu. read more

This place cannot get any better Any time of day, any meal, even just for coffee/matcha and something sweet it is perfect. We had one of the best servers and the owners are amazing! Food is actually really great, I crave the dishes when I go anywhere else! The restaurant has a great flow, the vibes are immaculate, great music every time we have gone. If you don't know this LA staple, you must try it! Halal/Kosher options are an added bonus, go for brunch! read more

Cafe Landwer - Hot House Blend Tea - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The is 5 stars with a major asterisk. The food is a 10 out of 10. Love the variety on the menu, and so far, everything I've had is spectacular. So I'm giving it 5 stars just so the place continues to do well. HOWEVER: The service is abysmal. I want to emphasize that everyone is extremely nice. So it's not a personality/attitude thing. But they don't have themselves together right now. I've been a handful of times since they've opened, and I'm usually one out of like 4 or 5 tables in the whole place (with dozens of tables completely empty), and I see a huge staff. Literally a 1-to-1 staff to customer ratio. Yet, it can take 15 minutes just to get water or a waiter to take your order, because everyone is narrowly focused on their specific job (like wiping down a counter or setting new tables) rather than prioritizing what they should above all else: tending to the present customers expediently. So I say this with love, because I want them to get it together. The food deserves to be a Brentwood staple for years to come. But they'll be in trouble (and customers will miss out on a long term gem) if they can't improve the quality of service. read more

Cafe Landwer in Brentwood was a huge disappointment. The service was slow and inattentive, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The chicken shawarma arrived lukewarm, and the Landwer schnitzel was bland and did not seem freshly prepared.

Between the mediocre dishes and poor service, I left frustrated and would not return or recommend this location. read more

One of the best breakfast burritos in Los Angeles! The Halal Maple beef bacon burrito is insane and beats almost every competitor by ages.

WOW, this place has such a beautiful atmosphere and ambiance. The team was incredibly warm and welcoming! I will say the new menu items and Wagyu options tasted fantastic. They told us that the bread was baked to order and when it came out it was piping hot and covered in flaky salt and was great with the hummus. The bathrooms were spacious and clean and they have this cheesecake that that ma read more
