A pleasant surprise. I was looking for something to eat before my train ride back to Los Angeles, and just got good reviews. I was surprised when I entered the building and immediately had to go through a metal detector: it's located in the courthouse. It closes at 1:00 pm, so it's clearly where everyone in the courthouse has breakfast lunch. Burrito was a great value for $9.00, and their spicy was really good.

Chicken, potatoes, and pinto beans in a green chili sauce/soup. You have an option to add shredded cheese which gives it a little kick. It's delicious and warm for the soul. Definitely coming back. read more

Steph was abundantly helpful people love the staff very helpful people this is my first time going there

You have to go through a security check and thankfully, the workers and security are very nice! You take the stairs up to the cafe. Greeted by a kind worker and ordered the grilled turkey with wheat and pepper jack sandwich. Also added jalapeños and avocado. Paid for the order and waited. The worker was kind and easy to talk to. Nice little place. There's a bunch of other stuff too like coffee and their breakfast menu looks great! Sat at a chair and waited a short time and the nice worker brought it out and he wished me a good day handing it over! =) Lunchtime! The grilled turkey pepper jack sandwich with jalapeños and avocado was fresh and tasty! I had half and it was a good amount. It's pretty much like a sandwich you would get to put together from the grocery store, but still good! Good service and sandwich! Recommended! read more

If you don't mind passing through security and taking all metal off your body, this may be a fun and interesting visit. Originally I caught some pictures of this place sometime ago and headed over to the address which I had no idea was inside a federal courthouse. The day that I first tried to eat here, it was closed so I didn't go through. I happen to be over at double tree for a Medicare Broker's meeting and was thinking about eating someplace I hadn't tried before... It seems that all the parking downtown is now electronic and handled through your phone. I liked that. The federal courthouse and its grounds are stunning. The budget for construction must've been gigantic. Each detail and element in planning and construction is of the highest levels. The way each tile fits together, the textured cladding, the embedding of metal, glass and transitions between various materials. Even the stairway to the second level is a work of art. It is big, open, roomy....quiet. Just the way I like my environments... And it looks like every penny of the $165 million dollars spent on it! You'll need to pass through a phalanx of security, answer various questions and go through the metal detector. No doubt, that keeps beggars and homeless out... :) The café is on the second floor and carries a nice variety of items. The menus are located in completely different parts which is not ideal. The breakfast menu is on one wall and the lunch menu on a completely different wall 15 feet away from it. It looks like there's some daily specials and food here is priced like it other venues. You're not coming here for some cheap deal.. It seems like they were only two people working here. A gentleman at the register taking orders and one woman in the kitchen making the food. And it's delish! I ordered a tuna melt, extra tomato, add onions and pickles, add avocado. I think I blew it when they asked me if I wanted mayo on the bread. I should've realized that the mixture of tuna already has mayo in it and left it that way.. It was a bit juicier than it might have been otherwise but still delicious. Unlike other places, the filling was actually HOT, things melted. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted providing a wonderful texture. And although the sandwich was sloppy, it was generously portioned and delicious. I ate directly outside on the mezzanine where there were dozens of tables with beautiful views out into the atrium. It was serene and there is no claustrophobia or crowds to contend with. GOOD! Like anywhere, if you go you'll probably want to get your timing right so you're not going at the peak... All the food in the pictures looks fantastic and that's what drew me here, compelled me, MADE me come! It was an unconventional venue and the stars aligned in proximity for my vis..... -G read more

Ah, I love it here! I work in the Robert E. Coyle Courthouse & will stop by the cafe when I'm too lazy to walk across the street lol but to be fair, my lunch is only 30 minutes. Anywho.... Alex is awesome - he will greet you once you walk in & take your order. He knows me but name now & knows exactly how I like my BLT sandwich lol!! & Martha is the best! Her food is delicious. She has a daily special that usually includes a drink & sometimes chips or fries. She also has a soup of the day. I wish I had pictures of all the yummy food I've had here, but I'm usually always too hungry to snap a pic. I did however snap a picture of her southwestern chicken wrap which was sooo flavorful! It had chicken, lettuce, corn salad, tortilla chips, cheese, drizzled in a chipotle style sauce...all wrapped up & grilled lightly in a spinach tortilla wrap. Bomb.com *If you ever stop by - try out her meatloaf. I personally haven't tried it yet because it's always sold out by the time I get to the cafe - but my coworkers rave about it!! read more

Great cafe in the federal courthouse. The breakfast burritos are really good. Chorizo is my favorite. They also have rotating specials that adds variety. They had a Banh Mi sandwich this time and it was fresh with really good pork. The sauce on the side gave it that extra punch! read more

First time here and we'll definitely be back! Tried the Cranberry Chicken Salad & it's already my fave!!! A must try!!

Listen this place serves up some excellent food, and with kindness at that. For a smaller restaurant situated in the federal Courthouse they do a lot with what they have. The staff are friendly, remember people in a genuine way, and have always made adjustments if needed. It is a great place that gives me a nice break in my day with the energy to keep going. read more

Loved the place the wait staff snd the food. First class clean and prompt. Would certainly return in the area.

This place is literally the best spot downtown to eat. I am soooo glad they are open after COVID so I can get their awesome daily specials! read more

Good food and can't beat the prices. The price did up go a little, but still can't be beat. Love that they have daily specials and that you can call ahead your order. You do have to pass through the court house security to get in the building though, so be prepared. They do breakfast 6am-11am & lunch 11am-2pm and take phone in orders. read more

I was in the downtown area and looking for something fast and good. We came here but realized it was in one of the court house building so we had to go threw security. The small restaurant was located in the 2nd floor. The area was nice, quiet, peaceful. It was more like a convenient store set up... we ordered on the side window and received our order pretty fast. Food was good and fair price. read more

Favorite croissant sandwich place, we love the croissant sandwich with bacon. You do have to go through courthouse security to eat here but it's worth it. read more

Not far from hospital and was looking for somewhere new to eat. Food was fresh and delicious. Our sandwiches were so good we ended up ordering soup to go for dinner. Then ordered soup and salad a few days later. All items ordered were good. Would highly recommend. And yes, it is inside court building but was easy enough to go through security to get there. read more

This is an amazing little cafe in the courthouse that does amazing food. The staff is super kind and the ticket times are quick. Thanks for a great experience and I look forward to eating here next time read more

I've visited this cafe for lunch. They make a mean chicken salad sandwich and chicken tortilla soup. The chicken salad is seasoned perfectly the portion is plenty. They offer a variety of sandwich bread. I usually request rye or sourdough toasted. However, if wraps are your thing it's an option as well. Chicken tortilla soup is delicious. This cafe is not stingy. The soup has a equal amount of veggies to chicken ratio and topped with tortilla chips and cheese!!! So dang delicious. HOWEVER... only setback is ... drumroll.. this cafe is in the Federal Courthouse soooooo um .. you have to go through metal detectors to get to the desired location. But just think of it as small obstacle to delicious food with great service. read more

Just so you are clear about this, this is a cafe! As in cafeteria. There is nothing special about the burritos or anything else that we had on the menu for breakfast. I understand if you are a lawyer used to eating crappy cafeteria food or a convict about to get 20 years to life this would probably be good. The courthouse building is beautiful though. read more

I work in the Robert E. Coyle Federal Building and was elated when we had the Cherry Blossom Cafe open up on the 2nd floor. The Cafe is owned and operated by Chef Martha who creates specials daily including soups, pastas, sandwiches, etc. My favorite is her homemade soups! Her pozole, taco soup and chicken noodle are FANTASTIC! On a cold winter day, I love that I do not have to leave the building to get some yummy homemade food. Her menu is traditional and if you ask her to make something that is not on there chances are she will. I have found many City Hall workers and Attorneys come in to the building to eat here now which is great! The Cafe is located on the 2nd floor of our building and open to the public. There is seating for about 30 people with views of Downtown and the lobby. I highly recommend this Cafe for the amazing soup, sandwiches and hospitable Chef. Come on in to check out this cool Downtown Building and get some great food at low costs. read more

Lunch is always delicious at the Cherry Blossom Cafe. Martha, Marissa, and Mondo do a great job of taking care of their customers and ensuring they leave satisfied. Chef Martha's menu features a daily special. Although she rotates her options, she offers things like Thai noodles with chicken, BBQ pork sandwiches, carne asada tacos, and Vietnamese deli subs. What makes this place stand out from the rest, as I already mentioned, is the service. Martha is really open to constructive criticism and does a great job of seeking feedback from her customers; that is something I can appreciate. The noon hour can be nightmarish as with most places due to the heavy volume of customers they serve; however, the lines move pretty fast. Plain and simple, I'm a huge fan. read more

I work across the street from the Federal Courthouse and I love coming here for lunch. Whatever is on special never fails to please me and the chef specializes upon request. Quiche, soups and more have all been enjoyed. No cell reception in the bldg. Highly recommended. read more

I love the prices and the staff very nice. Love the breakfast burrito. But too bad I heard price was going up.

Great food for even better prices. The sandwiches are nothing special (and don't purport to be). But the absolute best things here are the breakfast burritos. They are incredible. I think I've tried every kind and they are all so so so good. Unfortunately, the coffee here is terrible. read more

Good variety of hot food, including vegetarian. One of the few restaurants downtown with an assortment to choose from.

Cherry Blossom Cafe offers a wide range of breakfast and lunch options for a reasonable price. Chef/Owner Martha and co-chef Elizabeth make well-seasoned, delicious meals, while the cashier, Alex, is attentive to customer requests. The Cafe has a usual menu of items, including sandwiches, burgers, and salads, as well as a daily lunch special and two daily soup options. The staff is accommodating to dietary restrictions and taste preferences, and have modified many meals to fit my changing diet. They are also willing to make items that are not on the menu, if they have the ingredients necessary. My favorites meals are the vegetable omelette, the meatloaf special, the taco specials, and the creamy tomato bisque soup. Cherry Blossom Cafe is definitely as good as it gets! read more

This is a gem of a little cafe. When I worked at the federal courthouse I loved it because I never had to leave for lunch. Always get the special -- it's always good. Pro tip: if you are in a jury trial down the street at Sisk, you can always come here for lunch without risking any jurors being nearby. read more
