Cane C.

Finally gave the viral Chicken Caesar Wrap a try, and for once the internet didn't overhype it. The chicken was perfectly cooked--juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the perfect balance of fresh romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, shaved parmesan, and just the right amount of crunch. The wrap stayed crisp without getting soggy, and the portion was surprisingly filling. This is one of those rare viral foods that actually deserves the attention. If you've been debating whether it's worth the hype, the answer is absolutely yes. I'll definitely be back for another.

A very solid place for breakfast and matcha! I've been to faregrounds twice now and the service is always excellent, everyone who works there is so sweet and patient. I got the breakfast burrito with added bacon and it was pretty good (though I was starving so my review might be a little skewed lol). It's a good size and the filling is generous. Love that they include one dipping sauce for free, no upcharge! I got the cilantro crema and it was the perfect addition. My only complaint is I wish there were more textures in the burrito, it kind of turns into mush after a few bites. Wish the potatoes were crispier! But overall still really delicious. Drink-wise I got a matcha americano the first time and a matcha blueberry the second time. The matcha blueberry was so good, their homemade blueberry sauce isn't too sweet which I appreciated. Overall everything was solid and it's a great spot if you want breakfast that doesn't completely break the bank.

I have been bamboozled by yet another breakfast burrito. I stopped by for a short rib breakfast burrito as the menu description made it sound really interesting and somewhat unique compared to the majority of those found throughout LA. The menu says this burrito comes with "eggs, short rib, crispy potatoes, fontina, pickled red onions, and gochujang aioli". The cashier also asked me what sauce I wanted which I thought was odd since the burrito already comes with the gochujang aioli, but she offered a cilantro, chipotle mayo, and "hot sauce". I went for the cilantro sauce getting confused and not thinking to ask about the gochujang. I also later found out the "hot sauce" is a calabrian hot sauce and not just any old "hot sauce". If that was mentioned I probably would've tried that but how many people think to ask what kind of "hot sauce" is used when it's not specified to begin with? The cross section looked decent but definitely so little short rib compared to the other photos and tik tok videos I've seen. Naive me should've known these were paid influencers getting special treatment, so obviously they're getting more short rib. The short rib itself had decent flavor but it was just so dry. The potatoes were not crispy at all and more like homestyle potatoes, soft. What really made things worse was the missing gochujang aioli and fontina cheese. There definitely was not any of it in here and I'm kicking myself for not bringing it up to the staff but honestly, it's something that shouldn't be forgotten to begin with. The cilantro sauce was basically sludge and very mild in flavor so it didn't elevate the burrito flavor much. To drink I tried the recommended Salted vanilla foam latte, although not too sweet, it didn't have much flavor. I couldn't help but notice the lack of cleaning too. I sat for almost an hour (9:30-10:18) before I saw anyone clean a table while many people had left tables dirty. Even when I sat at the first table and moved to a second table, I had to clean up spilled sauce, sticky residue, and wet areas on my tables to not dirty my own arms or phone. The space isn't very cozy and the interior tables are crammed together. I asked the cashier if the wi-fi works fine outside and she said the wi-fi "isn't very good and pretty spotty, it usually doesn't work outside". I was hoping to initially try their caesar wrap and ended up here for breakfast so I tried that and was disappointed but now I don't have plans to return for anything else.

This review is for drinks only. I tried the salted maple iced latte and it lives rent free in my head. I dream of this and need to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Perfectly sweet, perfectly creamy, perfectly coffee-ey. SALTED MAPLE LATTE, you'll thank me later.

This is one of best banana matcha in the area! It's very hard to find banana matcha which tastes good and not artificial or without taste. So happy I found this place. The sandwiches were fantastic, waited about 30 min for them because place was very busy but I didn't mind. The only thing is they gave me regular chicken to the wrap instead the crispy one I ordered. Taste of everything was fantastic, I'd recommend!

Stopped there for a quick coffee and bite, very friendly staff and fast service. The cafe itself is clean and cozy. The line wasnt that long. Very well made and delicious burrito, and loved my iced latte. The parking can be challenging there if you are driving.

I stopped by around opening time on a Thursday, and it was already pretty busy, which was a good sign. I ordered the Breakfast Steak Burrito and the Pistachio Cream Matcha. The burrito is definitely on the pricier side, especially with the added protein, but the portion is huge and very filling. They weren't skimpy with the ingredients, the filling ratios were well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The Pistachio Cream Matcha was definitely on the sweeter side, but it had a great pistachio flavor that I really enjoyed. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick despite how busy it was. Parking was also surprisingly easy. There's a garage on N. Bedford Dr., across from Jon & Vinny's, that offers free parking for the first two hours before 6 PM, and it's only about a 2-minute walk to the shop. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu items!

Small intimate breakfast/brunch/lunch spot tucked away in BH. Food was delicious but their matcha was next level. Why I am trying this now is beyond me. 1. Short rib breakfast burrito: braised short rib, scrambled eggs, hash, pickled onions-game changer, and Gochujang aioli all wrapped up in a toasty flour wrap. Choice of sauces but honestly can go easily without the dipping sauces. Chose the cilantro one and no regrets here. 1000% recommend 2. Açaí bowl:balanced my salty with a cold and sweet flavor. This açaí bowl was just divine with its icy cold açaí base, almond granola, fresh banana slices and blueberries all drizzled with coconut bites and honey. Fantastic. Also highly highly recommend 3. Rose matcha: washed everything down with rose foam matcha. Excellent as well. The rose aroma was delicious. Overall 1000% recommend. Coming back to try the lunch menu.

Short Rib Wrap, Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, Tiramisu Latte

Food was excellent, purchased a short rib and chicken Ceaser wrap, the cilantro dressing was beyond delicious ! Service was awesome, gentleman was helpful and made great recommendations, the place itself was a vibe, modern chill and welcoming. Also got a Tiramisu late with coconut milk, top tier!

Jacklyn D.

I am so amazed at how good this place actually is. Although it is on the pricey side, the wraps and sandwiches are actually gigantic! Yes, indeed, the hype for that caesar wrap is worth it. You must go and try it with the crispy chicken. They already put enough dressing in the wrap itself, but they also include a small side of it too. I also tried the favorited spicy don, which was enough for 2 people as well. The cheese was melted perfectly onto the chicken cutlet and the perfect amount of heat is in the vodka sauce. It also came with a side of chipotle sauce and extra vodka sauce which was hot in it's container. My friend tried their banana matcha and rates it a 5/5 and I tried the tiramisu latte which I would rate a 4/5. You can taste the quality in their food and drinks. Luckily, upon my arrival, the line was not long, but as I was sitting outside enjoying my food, the line began to grow. Honestly, please check this place out. I will be back soon!!

We came in for breakfast at 9:13 AM and there is already a line. They're offering a free coffee with an entrée, but they don't really have anything gluten-free other than an açai bowl. At least I get a free matcha! The employees are super friendly but they don't know what pastries are gf. 20 minutes later...at least they have free Wi-Fi but it doesn't really work. Outdoor seating is limited.

Experience (4/5 stars): *Food: delicious caesar chicken salad wrap! crispy chicken with a good portion. *Price: ~$20 Overall, a lil pricey given the location but would recommend giving it a try!

Lewis M.

Place was busy at 1030am on a Friday but things moved fast and got the order in 10 minutes Breakfast bowl. Good variety. 4.5/5 Short rib burrito breakfast. Maybe too much meat for me in the morning. But it was good. 4.5/5

dropped by with i was with my friend since we were in the area and i'm so glad we did!! we got the thai basil sandwich, miso ceasar salad, along with the rose matcha and saffron oat latte. wait time was a bit long for our meal and drinks, but i didn't mind the wait after tasting the food and drinks we got. both drinks did not feel heavy or overly creamy which i really loved, the matcha tasted refreshing and honestly, the best matcha rose latte i've had-- most rose flavored drinks have the risk of tasting too overly floral and soap tasting but not this one from faregrounds. the saffron latte was also super delicious with the perfect ratio of milk to espresso, with subtle floral and earthy notes which i enjoyed. now for the food, OMG it was so flavorful and i could tell they were using fresh ingredients too. the thai basil sandwich had the MOST perfect toasted bread, it was so soft yet crunchy, the perfect texture to be paired with the pickled veggies, tender beef, and dressing. tbh, this bread will be living rent free in my head from now on. the miso ceasar salad wrap was amazing as well, the breading of the chicken was to perfection, crispy and kept the insides of the chicken juicy still. The miso dressing it came with was pretty flavorful with tangy notes that contrasted well with the rest of the wrap. In conclusion, i will be returning to try the rest of the menu.. read more

This place is amazing! First of all the baristas help you pick out what drink you want. I didn't know what flavor latte I wanted and they pointed me in the direction of their salted vanilla latte which is their most popular and WOW. I still dream about it. So creamy and flavorful but it doesn't taste like milk with a coffee flavor which is what I'm always worried about when ordering a latte. The interior is very clean and aesthetic and has such a great vibe. One of my fav places I visited on my trip. Very California!! Loved it. read more

Faregrounds is one of the best coffee shops I've been to!! From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much care and love goes into this place. The owners are some of the most genuine, hardworking people you'll ever meet, and their integrity and dedication show in everything - from the quality of the coffee to the way they treat their customers. The drinks are SO GOOD!! Their housemade flavored syrups are honestly game-changing -- you can taste the difference! Every drink feels thoughtfully crafted, never too sweet, just perfectly balanced. And the food? Absolutely delicious. You can tell they put real effort into making everything fresh and flavorful. The ambience is always so welcoming and comfortable! It's the kind of place where you want to stay awhile, chat with friends, or just enjoy a quiet moment with your coffee. I honestly wish they could open more locations. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! read more

Man at the register is incompetent, holding a 20+ minute conversation at the register with a regular. Asking her astrology, and all of the above. I wasn't even in the line waiting and I felt horrible for the line that formed out the door as a result of this. You have your 10 minute break and your 30 minute lunch due to California employment laws. When you are working you should be mindful and attend to guests to boost sales for the company you work for, not chat away for an obscene amount of time. Notably so, this is advice for improvement and I'm sure moving forward this employee can better his performance from this review. read more

good iced blueberry matcha, but did not expect to get such a small size. it may be my fault since i ordered on the kiosk and did not see the option to upgrade to a 16oz, but for $7 I thought that was the size I was getting, but ended up being a tiny little cup. I appreciate them using organic milks, and the flavor was great, just the size was a little devastating for me.

I used to love coming to this coffee shop, it is so cute and close to my job, however they have recently become extremely busy and don't seem to know how to navigate the demand. I came in yesterday and the coffee was terrible instead of asking them to remake it then because they were so busy I decided to try again today. They continuously say it will be 5 minutes for the coffee but my wait today was 20 minutes as a walk in. While they haven't been accepting phone orders the staff still prioritizes mobile orders instead of walk ins so there are a bunch of coffees sitting out and a bunch of people still waiting around. When I checked on my order I noticed people that ordered after received their orders before and were already gone. The staff attitude was also extremely unpleasant today. Hit or Miss read more

I have been seeing this place on TikTok for a few days now and decided to make a trip from Westwood to try it out. Was it worth it? Id say yes. The place is located next to two parking structures so parking won't be an issue. They have adequate amount of tables so sitting won't be an issue as well. They have a kiosk you can order from or you can order from the two operating registers. Im a big coffee person so their interesting coffee options caught my eye (which is why I initially went) I ended up ordering the saffron latte. Very interesting and delicious Next we decided to hit the food options and ended up with sandwiches. We got the spicy don, sexy southwest and thai basil steak(spicy, so be careful if you can't handle heat). All the sandwiches were between $17-18 which i would say is a normal price for the area. My favorite had to be the sexy southwest. Overall food was great, customer service was great, coffee was delicious and the vibes were immaculate!!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Beverly Hills. It's always a nice pitstop before or after work. The Matcha is insanely good and I'm always excited to try new things on their menu. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Cute coffee shop, amazing drinks, good food, and great vibes altogether read more

The place wasn't quite what I expected as it was very simple inside. For a place located in Beverly Hills, I had a vision of it being decorated nicely and plenty of seating. Seating was minimal to window stools and a small area behind the counter. That said, I came to try one of the bowls since that's what I was most familiar with. They offer a handful of bowl options preset, or build your own. There is also a dozen or so smoothies to choose from. For my first time, I went with their most popular bowl, the Bay Blend Bowl. I was familiar with everything that was in it, except the coconut beach base. The bowl was very good and you can taste the quality ingredients that are used. The service was great from the moment I walked in and was greeted until I left the store. The bowl was presented beautifully and was a perfect fit to the top of the lid. The first few bits were good, but I wasn't wowed. However, by the time I got to the coconut base, I was impressed!!!! I like coconut, but am very picky as to the what foods it is combined with, texture, sweetness, etc. This bowl worked in every way. Once I tasted the coconut, I think every bite from there on out had a bit of coconut on the spoon. Something different and refreshing! I get the hype and I will definitely return. Only thing I was a bit annoyed by was trying to find parking. All the lots were full and so were street spaces. I was on my last circle around the block when luckily someone pulled of a space. Plan accordingly as ya may be walking a bit.

Oakberry Acai

As my eldest daughter and I were strolling along at Westfield Century City Mall, Oakberry Acai…read morereminded me of something. Oh yes, they were one of the vendors at a Yelp event held inside Sports Basement in Long Beach. I didn't get a chance to try their acai bowl because I was slow in getting to their booth. You know what this means. I had to try them once and for all right here and now. I walked in and no one was present at the front counter. It's a small shop with some merch for purchase. Soon after my entry, a young gentleman walked up and took my order. At first, I wanted to get an acai bowl since it's their speciality. They have Build Your Own (BYO) options in bowls and smoothies with various sizes from 12 oz to 16 oz to 24 oz. Then, I saw Very Berry Smoothie that also has acai along with various berries. Well, why not get both acai and other berries. Very Berry Smoothie it is! OMG, it was so deliciously good and sweet! It comes in layers of fruit goodness. I couldn't stop drinking it. I would definitely get it again. Price was over $10, but worth every penny. Highly recommend Oakberry Acai! I'll look forward to seeing them again. Next time I'll try their acai bowl with unlimited toppings. Btw, it's not your run of the mill acai. It's Oakberry Acai as in its biz name. It's vegan, all natural, and organically grown. I love their concept of using a cup instead of a bowl as it's easier to hold and eat from. Thanks for being thoughtful in the packaging!

I had been looking forward to trying this place. I had seen multiple locations in LA, so figured it…read moremust be doing something right to be this prevalent. Welp, I'm still trying to figure out what they are doing that is right, because my Acai bowl was so wrong. I actually came here twice. The first time I was told they were having problems with their machine. I came back the next day and it was fixed. I found the menu to be a bit overwhelming, so I went with a basic Acai bowl (which is actually a cup) and pretty much instantaneously regretted coming here. The Acai mixture in my opinion is too sweet. I want to taste the acai- not be overwhelmed with sugar. It was gross. Next, I found the granola on the cup to be very unsatisfying. It just wasn't good at all. I know someone else mentioned a rancid taste. While I don't think mine was rancid, at first I kind of got that taste, but decided, it was just a lackluster granola. I felt the peanut butter was skimped on. It's like they smeared it to coat the inside of the cup to give the illusion of a peanut butter layer, but when I got to it, there was barely any. The fruit on top was so little- the variety I ordered only had banana. There's wasn't anything I could see that also had PB and granola...those ingredients are pretty standard everywhere else, but here you would have to pay extra. Ultimately the acai here is too sweet, and the restrictive nature of ingredient variety are a hard no for me.

Faregrounds Beverly Hills This place may be on the smaller side, but it is absolutely charming. The aesthetic is effortlessly beautiful, with several picture-perfect corners that are perfect for a quick selfie or capturing a cute coffee-date moment. Parking can be a bit tricky, so just be mindful when entering, as the parking entrance is fairly narrow. However, once inside, the experience is lovely. The service was exceptional--everyone was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. I requested my chicken on the side with my Chicken Caesar Wrap, and they happily accommodated my preference, which I truly appreciated. I also tried their Banana Walnut item, and one thing I can confidently say is that everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients were clearly high quality, and you can tell they put care into their food. Although the flavors weren't exactly my personal preference, that's simply due to my own taste palate. The quality itself was undeniable. The Banana Walnut selection was especially fresh and enjoyable. Overall, the food felt clean, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. If I find myself back in the area, I would absolutely return. Fairgrounds offers a beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and fresh, quality food. A lovely little Beverly Hills gem that's definitely worth a visit. read more

Stopped by this new spot last week during their soft opening, and let me just say--WOW. Working right across the street, I've been hoping for a place like this to pop up in the area, and Faregrounds did not disappoint. The vibe is laid-back, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the space itself feels like the perfect mix of cozy and modern. Now, let's talk about the food--because that's where they really shine. The sandwiches were next-level. The crunch, the texture, the freshness--absolutely on point. I went with the Basil Thai Steak sandwich, while my coworker got the Spicy Don. Of course, we shared, and honestly, we couldn't decide which one was better because both were packed with flavor and had such unique profiles. The crispiness of the Spicy Don? Unreal. And that sauce? No words can do it justice. To top it off, we each got a Matcha Latte, which was perfectly balanced--smooth, not too sweet, and not overpowering like some places tend to make it. Overall, this was hands-down one of the best cafés I've been to in Beverly Hills in a long time. They're bringing something fresh to the area, and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. If you're in the neighborhood, don't sleep on this place! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Faregrounds in Beverly Hills, and I can't say enough good things about this place! First of all, everything on the menu is made in-house with healthy ingredients, which really appealed to me as I've been more health-conscious lately. I tried the Thai Basil, Spicy Don, and the Miso Cesar Salad, and they were all bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors, especially the Miso Cesar Salad. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. The drinks were also a highlight for me. I had the Saffron Cold Brew and the Honey Lavender Matcha, and both were incredible. I got to learn that the owners actually make their own handcrafted syrups, which makes all the difference. The Honey Lavender Matcha was especially unique--smooth, slightly floral, and not too sweet. Speaking of the owners, I had the chance to chat with them, and it was refreshing to hear how committed they are to using high-quality ingredients while keeping the menu affordable. It's rare to find a place that's both health-conscious and budget-friendly, especially in Beverly Hills! All in all, Faregrounds is now my go-to spot. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a full meal, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a lovely experience. A hidden gem away from all the coffee chains. This unique spot brings good vibes, great service and a clean space. I can't eat everything so I love that they serve grass fed steak, and organic Mary's chicken. They also only use avocado and olive oil. I don't know anywhere in Beverly Hills that offers that with such affordable prices. Their coffee is fire too. They're a small business, everything is done by just a couple of young entrepreneurs. Really working hard to provide for the community. I got 2 matchas, Natalie and Jazmine recommended the 12oz size since they use ceremonial and you get more for what you're paying for rather the 16oz which is all milk. I appreciate the honesty, idk a coffee shop that truly wants you to enjoy the experience, so I like that a lot. The matchas with foam come in 16oz which makes sense. Everything is just the right price. They also make all their foams, and deserts in house. The menu and bakery items rotate. It's not pre bought or pre packaged. Wow read more

This wrap might've ruined every other chicken Caesar wrap for me. Located right in the heart of Beverly Hills, Faregrounds has quickly become the neighborhood's ultimate hotspot for high-quality wraps, sandwiches, and viral specialty coffees that put a fresh, healthy twist on everyday comfort food and let me tell you - the hype is 1000% real. Their viral Miso Caesar Wrap with Crispy Chicken features a light miso dressing that completely changes the game. It gives off this deep savory umami flavor, without that heavy, greasy feeling - making the wrap taste incredibly fresh and feel pretty healthy. Hands down, the best chicken caesar wrap I've ever had. We also tried their Spicy Don sandwich and banana cream matcha lattes, which were good, but don't even compare to the Miso Caesar Wrap. If you are anywhere near Beverly Hills, you need to grab your friends and hit up Faregrounds ASAP. Trust me on the Miso Caesar - you won't regret it. read more

While visiting the doctor's office nearby, we stumbled across Faregrounds and were excited to try a new spot. The café itself is small and cozy, with a casual vibe.

Despite it being such a busy and viral spot I always leave it happy! The place is also so cozy and intimate and it has really nice outdoor seating as well. Definitely a must! read more

This café is right next to my work, and I love grabbing my morning coffee there -- they have such a huge selection! Their matcha is great too. I also get lunch from them, and their sandwiches are really good. The portions are big, which is always a plus. I'm still sad they changed the menu and removed the pastrami sandwich. The staff is always nice, and the atmosphere is super modern, definitely one of my favorite spots nearby. read more

Faregrounds is the best cafe in Beverly Hills!! Definitely check them out, as you will be amazed by the delicious food and drinks, including coffee and matcha. I have become a regular and keep coming back to try all the delicious options on their menu. The staff and owners work hard to provide the best experience for their customers, and really care about creating a pleasant and inviting local cafe in Beverly Hills. read more

What a delightful find! The sandwiches are delicious, as are the beverages. My top picks here are the strawberry matcha and the Thai basil sandwich. Both offered a distinctive flavor that I truly enjoy. read more

Awful food and atmosphere. Pastrami burrito was nauseating. The organic coffee tasted like starbucks. My girlfriend got the acai bowl and almost puked. read more
