The staff is always so friendly and the food is delicious. I mostly go for breakfast or, on occasion, I go just for an iced strawberry matcha latte and a slice of their ricotta cheesecake which is maybe my favorite cheesecake of all time. Unfortunately no WiFi if you wanted to work from there, but nice for catching up on reading or chatting with a friend (or friends - I also had a birthday dinner here). Parking in the area can be harder to find, so anticipate some walking. Unless you get lucky and snag one of the 3 available parking spots out front! Also, the restaurant is the second floor so there are stairs, but there's accesible ramp to the right of the building.

They have a large lot and there is street parking available as well. Food- The Turkish eggs were tasty, although not completely filling. I'd put them at a 4/5. I've tried most of their tea cakes as well as the cookies and I would give them a blanket 5/5 with the note that the vegan tea cakes tend to be very dense. The fries are better than the potatoes imo, I'd put the fries at a 5/5. Drinks- I love the Arnold Palmer, it's not too sweet. It has a nice tang from the lemonade that balances it just perfectly 5/5. My boyfriend enjoyed the Moroccan mint. I thought it was decent. If you enjoy a strong mint flavor, I'd recommend it.

Easy. Fast. Satisfying…read more And...Mom approved! I didn't want to make dinner after a long day at work and then running my kid to an activity. It was getting late, so while I waited for the kid in the car at their activity, I went on The Heights website found an order form and placed an order for some sammies all in 5 minutes. I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot! PS the kid loved theirs and so did the hub. Thanks for making dinner: easy and delicious! There are no pictures because it was too delicious to take the time out and take any. Just order.

Made the drive from Studio City to Dune for Dine LA lunch. It was 98 degrees outside and although…read morethere was no traffic midday, parking in Atwater is always a challenge. I hunted a bit before tracking down a spot and paying the meter. I have not been to Dune before, but the value of the lunch special along with the promise of a fried chicken shawarma, coupled with unexpected free time, sounded like a promising moment to stop by. Walked up to the window and after no acknowledgement, I peaked inside the door and asked whether I place an order at the counter or wait to be seated. When I tell you the jarring elder Gen Z stare and incredibly unfriendly direction to sit on the bench and wait my turn (in the literal sense that I was told to sit on the bench and wait my turn. There was only a party of 2 seated at the bench and no line to speak of) made me regret coming out to eat entirely. I'm not lying when I say I thought about leaving immediately and driving home in my air conditioned car instead of sitting on a hot bench in nearly 100 degree weather with no acknowledgement of party size, no offer for a drink or water while I wait, and just existing in my bizarre humiliation ritual for having asked what the procedure is here for any kind of recognition of my interest in dining or simply existing. And yes, after sitting down I saw there is a small low contrast sign on a post stating to sit on the bench and wait, but it is positioned parallel to the counter window and only when turning away from the glass toward the seating area was it placed in a way that I would see it. Not very useful for someone who is walking up or down the sidewalk as it's not visible. I held my breath for about 10 minutes before being asked my party size (one) and seated at a shaded table. I regretted my choice to dine out the entire wait time for the table, while ordering and then being required to pay upfront before my meal was even presented to me, while seated awaiting my order, while my food (loaded fries, fried chicken shawarma, date shake and an added unsweetened iced green mint tea) was dumped at once on the table in front of me, while eating feeling humiliated for existing inside human skin, and again when having to walk to the window and ask for a to-go box. I felt like a massive inconvenience for the staff and fully regretted bothering them every step of the way for normal things like a Dine LA menu which was not initially offered, adding an iced tea to my order, existing in a metal folding chair and generally taking up space. I don't like being treated like a turd by people, and certainly don't want to be treated this way when I'm paying for a service. But after the initial flubbed interactions, demanding payment with tip upfront before receiving any kind of service was rendered, and then dumping my food at the table without ceremony, it's truly no wonder why the LA restaurant scene is dying. Between poorly trained staff, rising costs in rent and utilities, the outrageous cost of staffing and the fact that eating at a restaurant is completely unnecessary when cutting household expenses, restaurants are disappearing left and right. Some of the foods I still dream about are lost forever to closure after closure. Customers being treated like they're inconsequential isn't the only reason people like me usually choose to dine at home, and it's not the only reason restaurants are disappearing. But it's one of the only controllable elements in a world of runaway hospitality expenses. Customers deserve even a modicum of respect if restaurants are going to survive. $48 for the meal including tax and tip. More than enough food for lunch, I took home half. Loaded steak fries / wish they were served with a whipped feta or dipping sauce instead of ketchup but they're good. Generous portion of steak. 9/10 Fried chicken shawarma / fun idea, execution made it difficult to pick up to eat. Serving in a metal basket made it impossible to cut in half since there was not a solid surface to cut against. Flavor is yummy, wish those middle eastern flavors were more prominent in the batter but the chicken is extra crispy. Enjoyable. 8/10 Date shake / luxurious, creamy, flavorful. No notes. 10/10 Unsweetened green mint iced tea / overpriced, underdelivered. I'd skip it unless you're parched. 5/10 **written without the assistance of AI**

Fabulous salads and sandwiches! MIXT is originally from San Francisco's Financial District, and…read morethis is their Silverlake location. It's super cute and stands on its own, right off Sunset Boulevard. This location was voted best salad in Los Angeles by the LA Times! Their food is sustainably sourced and very tasty. Stopped by for a salad after the gym and it was so fresh and healthy. I did cheat my diet a bit and tried the Puebla Salad which features fried chicken. Delish. Juicy and crispy chicken, avocado, sweet potatoes, poblano dressing, romaine hearts, cabbage, spiced honey roasted sweet potatoes, sharp cheddar, pumpkin seeds, jicama, scallions... great mix of ingredients and super flavorful. Salads and sandwiches are all customizable. There are many different kinds of lettuces and greens on offer and tons of toppings. Super fresh juices, too. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is they have their own free parking right in front.

We've tried the Ian Glass (added protein) and the Larry Mantle, and a friend got the Terry Gross. We've also tried the sides Mr. Beans and the Aloha Pasta Salat. Everything has been so good and so fresh! My fav is the Ian Glass by far! It was so good and so filling. The price is pretty fair for a solid sandwich with good ingredients. Service is quick and easy, no frills. You stand in line, order, and then wait. You cannot and should not go back in line to check on the status of your order. When they're ready for you, you'll know. There are a few tables outside, so grab a seat and enjoy your sandwich! Tip: order online for pick up if you're short on time! But if you're really short on time, this probably isn't the place to go for you. Since we've biked here, I don't have any experience with street parking, but since it's in a residential area, it always looks full. So be aware of street parking! You may need to circle around a few times.

Came here on a Sunday noon time and had the worst experience of my life. The wait for my order was…read moreso long and there was no remorse by the person managing the front/register area. While waiting for my friends to park, I decided to place my order online since they had signs stating they only have one register and for faster service to place it online. In my mind, bet, I'll order online but was that sign so wrong and I made the wrong decision. I placed my order 3-5mins before my friends arrived thinking it would come sooner but my friends ordered in person and the 3 of them received it all before my order that I placed first. My order took close to an hour to be ready and I had asked multiple times about my order because it did not make sense why my order took longer when I placed it first. The person taking orders, kept saying it would take a few mins multiple times, but I would have rather them say "hey I'm sorry the kitchen is backed up but it would take 10-20mins longer" something in this vain instead of false hopes of when it would be ready. It was infuriating because the person was not apologetic at all and never said sorry once for the delay. I work in hospitality too and I understand if a ticket get misplaced or if things are taking longer than usual, I personally would try to communicate that to the customer better so it doesn't just seem like I am dismissing them. I understand kitchens get backed up, especially when orders are coming in both from an online POS and in person POS, but the way the person on the register handled it was so poor that I had to leave this review. When our order did come out 50mins later, the protein in the Steve Julian was a bit too salty and the sauces inside were good, but just made the sandwich overall messy. My gf had the Terry Gross and she enjoyed her sandwich, but mentioned it got soggy too quickly. Probably won't be coming to this business.
