    Chilaquiles
    Itzel C.

    Mexican mom approved, she liked this plate more then at other places. We had a Mocha, iced chai tea latte chilaquiles and buttermilk pancakes. The iced chai tea was okay nothing special, the buttermilk milk were so good, soft, thick and really yummy. The chilaquiles the chile verde was on point. The waitress was really nice! Overall space was quaint. I would comeback for the pancakes

    Amazing choice for brunch convenient to Hollywood. Came across this place while staying at the W Hollywood. I wanted a place with bottomless mimosas to save money and not be overcharged for staple breakfast items at the hotel restaurant. I assumed the trade off would be food quality but I was completely wrong. Th Grand Marnier French toast was Top 3, not 3. Probably the best french toast I've ever had. The orange flavor was infused into the toast and not overpowering, but the perfect compliment. The turkey sausage was a little dry but I chose that as a healthier alternative to bacon, so I won't be overcritical. The bottomless mimosas were straight to the point and a good mix of juice and bubbles. Our server was kind and attentive. They offer indoor and outdoor seating along the sidewalks which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. Ideal spot for good eats without the luxury tax you would expect from Los Angeles. 10/10!!

    Stopped in for the first time as a party of two for brunch on Friday and we both had a really nice meal. It's a quick and casual little brunch and lunch spot that was even better than we were expecting. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. They do have a good size menu with a lot of good options on it, there was more than I expected there to be. Inside is not very large, there aren't many tables, but service is fast so I'm sure the tables turn quickly. I did not see any outside seating, it was all indoor. There is not a dedicated parking lot, street parking only. We found metered parking on the same block of the restaurant otherwise parking may be a bit tricky. I started off a BBL, which is an iced coffee with brown sugar, banana syrup, and cinnamon. It was honestly really good and I would go back in there just for that alone. For my breakfast, I chose the Crab Cake Benedict and added avocado and really enjoyed it. The crabcakes were almost crispy and they had a lot of flavor to them which I really enjoyed. My eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered them and overall, I thought it was a really nice meal. It is a bit more expensive than I expected it to be, we did start with a pair of the Corn Ribs, which were a nice start but everything was just a little bit pricey. It was almost $90 for a party of two, but I do think it is worth it if you're in the area and stop in on occasion.

    Walked into eat this cafe with no high expectations, I had been recommended this place by various people before and I finally gave in to try it out! I entered like an hour before closing so it was empty but I heard it gets really busy during the weekends because of their bottomless mimosas! I ordered the breakfast burrito, not expecting much, but this burrito was soooo good! I paired it with seasonal fruit and it made the whole meal perfect! My plate was fulling and fresh, my boyfriend ordered a sandwich with their house salad and we were pleasantly surprised with the portions on the sandwich as well! They offer complimentary waters for table but I ordered their ice tea! It tasted like it was freshly brewed, not bitter just right! I am so glad I stopped by this place and was left amazed by the food and the customer service. Only sucky part about the establishment was that there is no private parking lot, only public street parking !

    This is a nice brunch/lunch place in LA. Food was good. Service was nice and attentive in the beginning, but got really slow near the end. Maybe they got busy or it was near closing time so they had to clean up. Our server didn't use any note taking device, so they forgot certain requests when the order got more complicated. * Cilantro Fire Shrimp Burrito 4.5/5 - The burrito was good. The shrimp was well seasoned with a small spicy kick. Some items was asked to be added on the side but not all was included. * Chilaquiles 5/5 - I really liked this. It came with chips, Spanish rice, and fried eggs. You can add pulled pork for $5 extra. The sauce was good, creamy and slightly spicy. * Dubai Chocolate Waffles 5/5 - Their twist on the Dubai chocolate. It came with waffles and strawberries drizzled with pistachio cream and chocolate sauce, sprinkled with crunchy filo pastry. It was pretty good! * Avocado Toast 3.5/5 - Kinda simple, avocado slices on top of sourdough toast, nothing exciting. They did hook us up with a lot of avocado, though. You can add eggs for $3.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich
    Evon S.

    Small brunch place where I highly suggest a reservation is made. The food is good however you may need to order more to keep up with the endless mimosas that keep getting poured as part of the bottomless mimosas package. The service is decent I must say. Unfortunately I did not get my full 2 hours of mimosas but more like 45 minutes because they were closing an hour after my reservation time. It's unfortunate but I'll keep the business hours in mind for next time.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Flaming Burrito
    Justin C.

    Great vibes here! I was in the area and came on Saturday around 11 am for brunch. Parking is slightly difficult, as it's just street parking but there is a neighborhood behind the restaurant and we found parking about a 1 min walk away. We didn't wait at all for a party of two but honestly, I would recommend trying to make a yelp reservation here. It seemed to get pretty busy closer to noon and a few larger parties were waiting outside when we left. The place is super small and we were like no more than 8 inches away from the table next to us haha We ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich which comes with potato chips and the Flaming Burrito which comes with Home Fries. We absolutely loved the Home Fries; they're mini potatoes and so hot and crispy. We had to order another side of them!! Honestly, the food was alright. It was good and we have no complaints but it wasn't mind blowing. The flaming burrito is basically crispy chicken pieces, chips, and eggs and honestly it was the burrito form of the spicy chicken sandwich lol so we feel like we basically got the same thing. I would highly highly recommend getting the bottomless mimosas! I never saw a table with an empty glass and the server was on top of it walking around the restaurant topping off everyone's drinks even if they were more than half full! It's a great deal too - $22 for bottomless mimosas. Like I said before, the vibes in this restaurant were great. Very lively! The servers were all great and attentive. I had a great time here and will be back. Solid 4.5/5 in my book.

    I think the kitchen may open later u arrived at 9 am . Three people in store one server and I believe possibly an owner . They are cashless . They are quiet . There kitchen opens when the chef comes in I presume since seven minutes in and an order is being placed . If you want to work here there is plenty of space ! I've been here before so I know the food is good ! Mimosa fell flat zero bubbles but I'm just studying lines and it isn't a big deal ! Parking is around the area metered

    Omelette with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes
    Justin J.

    Been here a few times and met a couple friends here for brunch. Long overdue for a review. Made a reservation ahead of time so didn't have to wait, and a line did form eventually, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going for brunch. Started off with mimosas, as you do with brunch, and bottomless mimosas are $22 opposed to $10 for a single mimosa. Definitely a good deal! For food, we each tried something different. The omelettes are nice and full, depending on what you want in them. We had it stuffed with bacon, cheese cheese, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and topped with avocado. Eggs were cooked well for the omelette. The chilaquiles was topped with a verde sauce that was pretty tasty, but the tortilla chips were pretty soggy overall. Would have liked a little less sauce so you get that nice crispiness from the chips. Our last item was the flaming burrito with crispy chicken in spicy habanero sauce, 2 over-medium eggs, homemade ranch and cheddar cheese. The chicken was nice and crispy, and you get a little spice with the habanero, but the house made ranch really didn't come through. It could have used that ranch flavor to complete the flavor profile of the burrito. Overall, great deal on the mimosas and the food was flavorful, though each item wasn't necessarily perfect, they were still good. Solid brunch spot for the weekend.

    Decided to have breakfast at this very cute cafe while we were in LA. This was about a mile from our Airbnb. Seating can be indoor or outdoor. We all enjoyed the foods and our drinks. The service was good & quick. Overall it was a great experience.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Sofis K.

    HUEVOS RANCHEROS 8/10: I have been coming here for years and I was excited to try out the huevos rancheros, it has a good salsa ranchera, and the tortillas are perfectly crisp. I suggest adding the steak! * My suggestion to the cafe would be to change the serving bowl to a plate. I found it a bit difficult to cut my food especially since I opted for potatoes instead of rice. BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS 10/10: My father loves Eat This Cafe for their mimosas. The price is hard to beat in the area and it pairs perfectly with the food! CLUB SANDWICH 10/10: This sandwich is a parent favorite, the quality has always been consistent. AVOCADO TOAST 10/10: One of my favorite menu items here, the aioli is to die for, and the avocado is perfectly ripe every time. SOUTHWESTERN 10/10: My mom's go-to salad with the added crispy chicken. NOTES-- - I would mostly suggest Eat This Cafe for their mimosas and savory food items. I have found that their sweet items, such as the Dubai chocolate waffle and their pancakes fall short compared to the other menu items. - Great ambiance, such lovely waiters, their service is always amazing! - Parking can be a be difficult to find in the area.

    My friends and I came here for brunch and the food was awesome! Their bottomless deal was definitely worth it if you're having more than two drinks. I had the most delicious pancakes & my friends had some huevos rancheros that were also delicious!!

    6.7 mi•Arts District, Downtown

    Overall was a very good experience! Service was friendly and attentive from the beginning and all…read morethroughout dinner, so that set the tone for the night. We were a party of 6, but 2 were lagging soooo hard for our reservation, and we weren't allowed to be seated until everyone showed up. I think the servers felt bad for us lol so they seated us after 25 minutes or so. By that time, I ordered their Espresso Martini which was delicious! They described it as "smoky and not too sweet." The restaurant itself has a very industrial warehouse kinda vibe to it, which was cool. Very laidback but upscale environment, dress up or dress down, it's totally up to you. My group ordered family style. We ordered... - Appetizers: 'spicy handroll' dip, goat empanadas, goat liver mousse - Veggies: roasted carrots, wood-fired sprouted cauliflower, sautéed green beans, grilled corn - Salad: shrimp & crispy greens salad, - Fish: pan roasted salmon, roasted oysters, - Meat: grilled kalbi-style short ribs, lamb curry - Dessert: matcha tres leches, mango sticky rice Honestly, if I were to do the same family style again, I would make sure I got a good taste of everything again. If I were to choose one of each category though, I'd go with spicy handroll dip as my favorite appetizer, sauteed green beans, I'll try the other salad option (the shrimp & crispy greens salad was really lemon-ey, almost too much), salmon was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the kalbi-style good was impressive and fall off the bone, andddd I can't really complain about either of the desserts. Everyone ended up splitting, it was maybe....$175 per person? Not too bad.

    So stoked that I finally got to try this place. It no longer has to be stuck in my "want to go…read moreplaces" bookmarks! We were able to secure a 5:30pm reservation on a Saturday night with outdoor seating. Friends had dined here several times so started off the night with some good recommendations! For a party of four, they recommended about 5-7 dishes to share. I have unique allergies so both the staff and kitchen were extra careful and made sure to let us know if any of the dishes we ordered had any potential cross contamination. To be safe, we didn't order one of their popular dishes (green beans) as it has cashews. We thought about having those to the side but were afraid there could be potential contamination from the pot they make it in. We ordered about 6 dishes to share and ordered a matcha tres leches to share per each couple. We probably could have ordered another main but we left with satisfied bellies. Naan & Dips - $21 Must get! Naan is super flavorful and comes with two dipping sauces. It was a good portion size to share among 4 people Roasted Carrots - $19 Couldn't get the green beans due to my cashew allergy so we opted for the next recommendation given by our waiter! The carrots were so tender and flavorful. Tomato & Stone Fruit Salad - $24 I really enjoyed this one although our friend felt like the Chicago location made this more flavorful. The creamy tofu sauce with chili oil makes a great pairing! A great refreshing way to start off the meal before all the heavy flavors from the mains! Ginger Chili Yum Salmon - $38 Salmon was extremely tender and cooked well. It comes with two pieces of salmon, so it made it easy to share between the two couples. The sauce was okay for me. Sticky Glazed Pork Shank - $48 My absolute favorite from what we ordered. Meat fell off the bone and was seasoned so well! I liked the addition of lettuce and pickled veggies. You can eat as is or make it into a lettuce wrap! Highly recommend, maybe next time I won't share this one haha Pork Belly Noodles - $36 Pork belly was tender, but I don't remember much from it...also the portion size was lacking so maybe that's also a factor. 2 Matcha Tres Leches - $17/each YES to this! This was such a divine way to end our meal. The blackberry frozen jam and matcha whip was such a treat! Loved the addition of matcha white chocolate quinoa crisps!

    The Bottom Line 3.5 stars: Good option when in the area, with some concerns as noted below…read more Location 3 stars: Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, northeast corner of Matteo Street and Whittier Blvd, across the Matteo complex. Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and mocktails, specialty coffee/tea/matcha and juices. I had the Iced White Mocha, which was ok.

    What an experience today at this establishment!…read more Quick backstory: myself and my coworkers frequent this place a lot because it is walking distance from our office. They do have some good food, but the service always seems to be a BIG miss. The first couple of times we came here, everything was great! Then visit after visit, it was always something, on top of not knowing how long you would be there. The worst was about a little over 2 hours. That day it was not that busy, or it didn't seem like it to us and from the time we sat down, until we left was a bare minimum of 2 hours. On a previous visit, our server randomly left and we were not notified or helped until we asked to speak with a manager because we hadn't seen our server Today was it..... we will never go back there again They do have an outdoor patio area, which is where we normally sit, but with this heat we sat inside. I see a small white dog running around the patio area with its leash dragging behind it and no one following it. The dog is looking like it needs to poop. I see a lady emerge with a clear plastic bag around her hand... YES! THE DOG POOPED IN THE PATIO BY ONE OF THE TREES (see attached photo) we could not believe our eyes! The lady picks it up, then proceeds to walk around the restaurant looking for a trash can to throw away the dog poop! She knew she was doing something wrong because any server that was around her, she hid the bag behind her back. The dog also butt scooted all through out the patio floor! As I write this, I cannot believe that happened. Completely lost our appetites. We asked for a manager and all he did was go laugh, joke and smile with her. Before I left, we told them we would never be back and that they should really check their trash cans to see what she did with it. It was semi good while it lasted Zinc

The outdoor patio feels like you accidentally wandered into a breezy corner of the French Quarter. Warm lights, casual seating, and that "kick back and stay awhile" energy. Ordering through the app and picking up at the window makes you feel like you're part of a secret club, the kind where the password is "extra napkins, please." * Chicken Po' Boy, WOW...This thing is stacked. Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

It's a small self served restaurant with a limited menu that changes, since not everything we saw on yelp was available. When we visited the options were crispy chicken/hot link sliders, different variations of tots and beignets. We went with the crispy chicken sliders and loaded Cajun tots and they were both very flavourful and delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

I get the Purple Fruit and Wilder Blend pour over and my wife gets the Purple Fruit as well. She also drinks the mocha, peppermint tea or Moroccan ice tea... About a month ago, one of the managers here Jason introduced me to these drinks so I bought the Purple Fruit beans and a pour over kit and started drinking it at home in the mornings since we both get up early. My wife tried it and she loved it. She asked me to get a few bags incase they run out so I did! I buy Verve coffee for my team and people in our building all the time. I enjoy buying good coffee for others as much as I enjoy drinking it myself. Their lattes and mochas are really good too. I also bought some beans for my mother in law so she can share it with her friends back home in Seoul and she said they loved it! My coffee game has been elevated and I loveeee it! Bonnie, thank you soo much for the thoughtful birthday message on the cup. She gave me the Wilder leftover on a shot cup and it was the first time I took a "shot" in 4 years. I had a nice chat with Ed about gratitude and counting our blessings. Jason and Brian have a lot of deep knowledge and experience with coffee. The team here really work hard and really know and enjoy their coffee. We are not perfect but they still strive to serve us everyday. We are truly lucky to be served by you and you make our day better whether we realize it or not. It's an experience and an adventure. It is personable and natural. Really excellent and exceptional service all around. Thank you to everyone. Jason, Brian, Ed, Matt, Anthony, Daniel, Agia, Pars, Ale, Bonnie, Kayla, Alex, Ozy and the rest of the crew. Cheers!

The waiters and waitresses were great. What irked me was that, when I looked at my credit card statement, they overcharged me. It was probably because I clicked NO TIP, yet I tipped the waitress. Wow! That's disappointing. I'm never gonna take my friends here. Parking sucked, but not impossible. But you gotta walk the ladies on the darker areas of the street.

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.
