    thai steak wrap & miso chicken caesar wrap
    Julie L.

    it was so busy in there so the wait was a bit long. but the staff were so attentive and made sure to keep us updated when our food will be out. they were very friendly too. theres very limited seating so be cautious of that. to order food you have to go to the register instead of the kiosk, which was fine but we just didnt know. the wraps here are HUGGEEE and so filling. the miso chicken caesar wrap was everything we couldve wanted and more. literally can barely finish half of one. we also got the thai steak wrap and it was a tiny bit smaller than the miso pne (still big af tho) but it sooo filling, and yummy. the meat is very flavorful already and we didnt need the sauce on the side. for the matcha SO GOOD. i will say they did give us a strawb matcha instead of the banana one we ordered but we were too shy to correct them. it was still very yummy anyway tho. the coconut matcha was sooo refreshing and flavorful

    Cute little place in BH Parking available on street Plenty of solid coffee drinks. A real cafe with breakfast and lunch options. Nice pastries available too Clean ingredients are highlighted

    My friend highly recommended their matcha, so we made a point of stopping by -- but I think we caught them on an off day. They were using a different oat milk than usual, and it made the drink taste pretty different from what she remembered, so I'm not sure we got the full experience. That said, the staff here is SO friendly! We came in near closing time and they still agreed to make our matcha drinks for us, which I really appreciated and definitely didn't expect. Our friend also raved about their sandwiches, which we didn't get a chance to try this time. Next time I'll for sure be back for both the matcha and the sandwiches -- I have a feeling a normal day here is a much better showing!

    Ok I cane to try their coffee and debated on food options. I heard alot of hype about Faregrounds and so I se to try it, I only ended up trying the salted vanilla foam latte and honestly it was just decent to me. Thought the coffee could have been better but it was not to me. The service was nice, the man at the cashier was amicable and gave good insight on what to get. The ambiance is like cafe/coffee spot and very small inside. I do want to one back one day tho to try their sandwiches! But after today I hope the hype is correct about the sandwiches. -Marshay D.

    Banana cream foam latte = obsessed. Tastes like banana cream pie in a cup, sweet but not sugary, with a fluffy, velvety foam on top. Tasty af. Already planning my next visit.

    Crispy chicken Caesar wrap
    Sahar M.

    I stopped by here for pickup on a weekday just before the lunch rush around 11:30. For some reason I was expecting a larger seating area and space overall. It was coffee shop vibes. Regardless, the infamous crispy chicken Caesar wrap made me pretty happy for a wrap. Just the right amount of crispy and the right amount of miso Caesar. I have had many a chicken Caesar lunch wrap but this is probably the best one I've had. Will be back to try their burritos . Service was good and my wrap was ready 15 min after I called so just enough time to drive over and grab it.

    Faregrounds is my go-to matcha spot in West LA. I love my matcha on the sweeter side, and this place isn't too sweet like La La Land but also not insanely earthy and bitter. Their miso chicken Caesar wrap with crispy chicken was also so delicious, and this summer they had a peaches and cream matcha seasonal special that was amazing. I ordered ahead to avoid the line and came early at 7:30am to avoid any crowds but this place deserves all the hype!

    Caesar wrap
    Cassie H.

    WOW... so the food here is AMAZING! I definitely will give them that... the Caesar wrap was absolutely delicious and thats what i came here for. My problem is the drinks... im not a coffee or matcha drinker at all, but I do love a chai latte, so this is what I ordered. When I got it and took the first taste, I automatically knew there was coffee in it. When I returned it, the girl looked and me and said "of course there is, its a latte... latte means coffee". I kind of blew this comment off and explained that I would like chai tea with milk and she agreed to remake it. What i got next was literally just hot water with a tea bag and foam. At this point I went in and just figured, ok this isnt working, so maybe I can just try a matcha since thats what they seem to do best. When I asked she looked at me blankly and said "sorry we just closed so I cant make anything else... you can come back next time and tell them that I said you could get something for free". She didnt give me her name, offer a refund, and by the way, they had closed 1 minute ago. Literally 1 minute. At this point I had to put the water in the trash and leave. Im sorry, but this was absolutely ridiculous! Don't have something on the menu if you dont even know how to make it properly... or maybe they need better training? It really ruined my experience and makes me question if ill be returning, which is really a shame because I did enjoy my meal.

    Salted Vanilla Foam Latte
    Alex J.

    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.

    Banana matcha
    Natalia H.

    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!

    Pantea M.

    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.

    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.

    45 minute wait for a chicken wrap is wild! Definitely order before showing up and take it to go because the place is very small.

    A friend who's a Soho House member took me there for lunch yesterday. I hadn't been back in a few…read moreyears, and I'd forgotten both the incredible views and how easy it is to spend an afternoon there. We walked in expecting a quiet lunch and quickly realized the World Cup was on. The screening room was packed with members watching the match, and it was fun seeing everyone so invested in the game. Since we wanted to catch up, we headed to the garden patio instead. There were plenty of people enjoying lunch outside, though it never felt loud. We never had to raise our voices to hear each other, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the afternoon. Our server was fantastic. She checked on us throughout the meal, kept our drinks refreshed, and always seemed to know when to stop by and when to give us space. We never felt rushed, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. We started with the calamari to share. I ordered the Faroe Island king salmon with sautéed spinach and chimichurri, and my friend had the chopped salad. The salmon had a beautiful sear and was cooked perfectly, while the chimichurri added just the right amount of brightness. We each ordered the cucumber cocktail, mine with vodka and his with gin. It was crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on such a hot afternoon. It paired especially well with the salmon. One detail I really appreciate about Soho House is its no-photo policy. After spending a few hours there, it made perfect sense. Around us, people were catching up with friends, having meetings, enjoying lunch, or watching the match without phones constantly pointed around the room. It made the entire space feel more relaxed, and I found myself appreciating being somewhere that encouraged people to be present with each other. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. We were able to settle in, enjoy a great meal, and spend a few hours catching up without ever feeling like our table was needed for the next reservation. By the time we left, I completely understood why so many people enjoy being members. One last detail worth mentioning is valet. The attendants were friendly, professional, and efficient. It's a small touch, but it made arriving and leaving effortless.

    Extremely overrated…read more Unfortunately, Soho House Hollywood lived up to its online reputation of having a "you should just be happy to be here" attitude. The front desk was dismissive, no one offered to help with luggage despite the stairs leading to reception, and the elevator and hallways were extremely hot. When I mentioned the heat, the manager simply shrugged and explained that none of their locations have A/C in those areas. The hotel itself is extremely dated. Our room was standard-sized, felt small for California, and was overpriced for the quality and experience. The food was decent--the burger was pretty good and the sashimi was fresh. The restaurant wait staff were actually the saving grace: friendly, attentive and hospitable. Overall, Soho House seems to rely heavily on its name and exclusivity rather than delivering an elevated experience. There are better private clubs with better service, better facilities and far less attitude. Two stars. The restaurant staff earned the second one.

Our food was served lightning fast...in literally less than 10 minutes! My friend noshed on the pressed yellowtail sushi while I opted for the Wagyu burger, prepared medium-well. We ended up sharing a molten butter cake for dessert. It was very generously sized (a mini-cake to be exact but it was enough for three hefty slices) & topped with a decadent scoop of vanilla gelato with pretzel toffee in the center.

The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Not a bad meal by any means, but when you factor in the price and expectations, it just didn't deliver for me.
