I was disappointed to find that, while you can build your own salads, there's no option to build your own bowls. None of the bowls as advertised would have worked with my allergies, so I opted for the more indulgent short rib grilled cheese with side salad. The side salad was nice, crisp with a lovely sweet dressing, maybe poppyseed? The short rib, however, was peppered so heavily that my mouth and tongue were completely burning. The meat seemed to be cooked well, but I couldn't even taste it over the overwhelming black pepper. I could only finish half of the sandwich and my stomach rebelled horribly about half an hour after eating. I wanted to like this place, but the seasoning was much much too aggressive. My lunch partner had the cauliflower sando and said her sandwich was uncomfortably aggressively seasoned as well. The word of the day here is balance, which Four Cafe seemed not to understand. Sadly, I can't recommend. read more

Colorado Blvd. and Eagle Rock in general has an embarrassment of great places to eat, grab a cup of coffee, or just hang out. Four Cafe is just one of the latest examples of a place that I've often overlooked, but am now a believer. I searched Yelp for a local recommendation for a hearty salad, and Four Cafe's Warm Fall Salad jumped off the page for me. The tasty proteins, with the steak in particular, made the salad featuring seasonal veggies, goat cheese, and a tasty vinaigrette even more enticing! Service was very friendly and the dining area was clean and organized. Serving sizes are very generous and I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something healthy and maybe something hearty as well! Now that it's Fall, do not miss out on the Warm Fall Salad. I was told that menus rotate every season, so try it while you can! The salad with the steak as an addition cost about $21 before tax. Next time, I may opt for their lunch special which includes a half sandwich and soup for $15! read more

Kind staff! I got a build your own salad which, with chicken, came out to $22. Kinda pricey in my opinion. But in their defense, the salad was very big! Unfortunately, it didn't stand out to me in any way, so I most likely won't be getting that again. What is cool is that they have a rotating seasonal menu. Very spacious inside and they have outdoor seating too. read more

We waited a few minutes for them to open at noon. I was going to have a salad. And they had 4 choices plus a build your own. But the Brisket bowl looked so good that my friend and I each had that! It came with brisket, brussels sprouts, cole slaw & mac & cheese. Every part was delicious! The brisket was SO flavorful! Since we were celebrating my birthday I was talked into getting a salted chocolate chip cookie that was amazing! I'll return. read more

This review is for Four Cafe catering whom we hired for our wedding- Meridith, chef Michelle, and Richard were quick to respond and super helpful in getting our menu to meet our needs before the event. During the event service from staff was seamless and we've received dozens of compliments on the food! Guests have even asked us for recipes. The polenta bites and brie truffle phyllo cups were a favorite at cocktail hour and people raved about the steak with chimichurri, chicken (with an amazing salad on top), the summer greens salad, and mac and cheese with toppings bar at the dinner buffet. We had met Michelle and Meridith at an open house, and trusted we didn't need a tasting- a bit of a risk, but their samples were our favorite, and they really delivered! Thank you Four Cafe for being such a great vendor team and making our big day that much more incredible. read more

I love this restaurant! The fresh, unique and seasonal menu, the atmosphere and the people who run it. Michelle, who also owns Penny Oven, is an amazing baker and chef. Richard, the manager of Four Cafe, is so thoughtful and accommodating. They kindly shared the cafe with me for a short community-based project I produced. A truly delicious and neighborly enterprise all round. Go and enjoy! read more

Eagle Rock itself is pretty chill and quiet. In my opinion, Four Cafe captures this essence well. It's never too busy and there's seating outdoor and indoors. I got the grilled salmon plate but in my opinion the star of the show here was the grilled zucchini. The picked onions were a refreshing bite and paired well with the salmon. The rice wasn't my favorite but the overall experience was great if you're looking for a quiet place to catch up with friends or coworkers. read more

10 stars! This place is taking care of people that lost their homes in the fires. They're going above and beyond to welcome these people and I truly appreciate it. I did not lose my home but my friend did and he's well taken care of in the food & Comfort dept! Also, the salads and sandwiches here are top-notch. Thank you. read more

This is my first visit to this establishment. Didn't really know what to expect. When you get greeted as you entered it's a for sure good sign. Ordered a BBQ Chickpea Salad with Chicken and a bowl of Spiced Red Lentil Soup. On a cold day like today it was a perfect combo. Let's just say I really enjoyed both and sent me off with a smile. Even got a cookie for good behavior, thank you Richard you are the man. Can't wait to come back This place really proves that you don't have to starve to get healthy. read more

I love this restaurant and the large amount of vegan and farm to table delicious food!

Just ordered an inedible "Waldorf" salad. 1. Don't call something a Waldorf salad if it absolutely bears no resemblance to a Waldorf salad. 2. The vinaigrette was bitter and had kind of a lavender or rose floral flavor. Truly awful. The salad was 95% lettuce; it had some walnut fragments. And some not good tiny slivers of Apple. I had about four bites. It's a shame, because this place used to be good. If you do find yourself here, for goodness sake do not get the "Waldorf salad." read more

Let's start with the ambiance it's very chill and homey. I like the layout and how spacious it is. As for service it's simple you order at the counter you get your number and they serve you the food. The wait time is average. As for food it is very good. My ratings: *Tortilla Soup - 8/10 - sometimes a little too spicy but it's great. *The Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich - 9/10 - very delicious was very surprised first bite in your like wow. *The Cubano Sandwich - 6/10 - not bad not great. Meat was a bit dry. It's definitely a skip for me. *The Mexican Chocolate Cookie - 9/10 very tasty, and I love the crunch. I order almost every time. *Brown Sugar Pop Tart - 8/10 - it's very fresh, very heavy but definitely worth it to try at least one time. I order it when it's in stock and if I'm in the mood. *Oatmeal Cookie - 6/10 - a bit bland it's ok. Overall Four Cafe is one my favorite spots in Eagle Rock. Definitely worth it! read more

They take the grilled cheese sandwich to another level! I love the short rib version the most. Their healthier options still somehow taste like comfort food as well. read more

Looking for salad and this what popped up in Eagle Rock area. Salad itself is $13 and if you add protein additional $4-6. Salad is a lot and I added salmon. Salmon was grilled but it taste burnt and under seasoned. However I still enjoyed it. Also, tried the chicken sandwich it was really good. I like soup the chicken tortilla soup, it has little kick of spice. Street parking only. read more

Great pick up for lunch. Curry soup and roast beef sandwich were delicious. Will definitely be back.

5 Stars - Amazing Experience! Great view, super fast and efficient service, and an awesome ambiance that made the whole visit enjoyable. The Jamaican meal was full of flavor and perfectly prepared, and don't skip the cookies--they're seriously delicious. Can't wait to come back! read more

The number four may be in its name but it's a 10 out of 10 in my book. Nice relaxing cafe that has good food and chill vibes. Come here around lunch time before 12:30pm on the weekend to beat the rush. Go to dishes are the chicken panini and chicken tortilla soup. Fresh tasting, big portions and great service. Did I mention their baked sweets are great? Guess I just did. Cheers. read more

Four Cafe - BOWL Chicken Tortilla Soup - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been here twice and it was delicious both times. You can get something healthy or not so healthy (ie brisket with Mac and cheese) but the bowls are really the best thing here. My husband got the portabello Bahn Mi sandwich and I got the portabello bowl. The sandwich was a crispy baguette with a little mushroom and carrots and he was still hungry afterwards. The filling was the same as what was in my bowl but the bowl had a lot more volume . It also had marinated spinach, brown rice, and cabbage with a side or siracha mayo. It tasted so fresh, light and healthy. Super flavorful. Highly recommend this place but avoid the sandwiches. read more

I live out of the Eagle Rock area but try to stop for lunch when I can. Their salads are healthy, tasty and huge!

When Four Cafe is good, it's outstanding. However consistency and quality control need much improvement- and this is speaking as someone who orders from them regularly via doordash for years so finally posting about it. I'm not too concerned that sometimes the soup is thin or sometimes it's thick. But I do care when lettuce that seems past its prime isn't weeded out of the mix. For example the chopped kale salad can be amazing 2x in a row, but then the next time ordering tons of wilted yellow & brown leaves enter the mix... That shouldn't happen. If they could train their kitchen to really pay attention to QC, they would be unstoppable. Separately, Four cafe has a seasonally changing menu, but it seems crazy not to have the Caesar as a year round option-- or at least a plain romaine or little gem base option year round. (The rest of the year all romaine is mixed w/ arugula and there's no option to remove it as the bases are pre-made. I love arugula but not with romaine, and many people, like my husband, don't like arugula at all). Spring at least has a plain little gem base option! It's always seemed a bit short sighted to assume everyone loves spicier or more bitter lettuces like arugula or mixed greens- we just stop ordering during certain seasons. I hope they reconsider. read more

Everything here is top notch and quality ingredients. Some of my favorites are the thanksgiving turkey plate, fish burger, chicken noodle soup, tofu banh mi, warm fall salad... to name a few. Some of the dishes I didn't enjoy and think should be reappeoached are the tortilla soup (tasted like a dusty couch) and the living salad (tastes like weeds) read more

Do you have a hard time finding a quality salad? I find it's a challenge for me to find a salad that has good quality ingredients and a lot of variety of flavor in it. That's why I love the salad at Four Café. Every component in it is fresh and crisp and salad dressing is light and not overpowering. You also get a lot of salad so you definitely get your moneys worth. The staff is always super friendly and if you have room get one of their yummy cookies. read more

Four Cafe - Thai Salad with chicken - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ordered two sandwiches for pickup before going to the Hollywood Bowl. The roast beef sandwich was delicious and large enough for me to split with someone else. Both sandwiches came with a side salad of greens. But no dressing at all. And no fork to eat the salad. The bag contained two boxes only. It would have been nice if they asked or offered some dressing for the salad, a napkin, at the very least. a fork. Instead the staff just handed over the bag and sent me on my way with barely a word. read more

The burger is really good, and I like that they serve it with a lovely little salad. The deviled eggs are great, too.

Our granddaughters have a dance class just a few doors away. We are always looking for places that are vegan/vegetarian friendly. The food was lovely. I had the split pea soup with bread on the side and it really hit the spot on a cool night. read more

I have passed this place numerous times in the 3 years I've lived in area but tried it for the first time a month ago. The smash burger was perfect and really the best I have ever had. Returned today and had the Mahi Mahi rice bowl: can't eat beans or cabbage and GM offered to substitute sautéed kale and double brown rice. I ate the whole thing! The fish light and fresh; kale just wilted perfectly; brown rice was tender and the avocado brought it all to balance. read more

Food was straight up basura. Jerk chicken had absolutely NOTHING to do with what jerk chicken is supposed to be other than coincidentally being chicken. It was shredded like pulled pork and covered in a sickly sweet sauce with no spice at all. All dead (and even live) jamaicans are rolling in their graves at the mere existence of this trash they call jerk chicken. Bonus, the black beans had zero spice or flavor to them and likewise the grilled vegetable they served with it. That said, the fried plantain was ok. Additionally, the server was rude af from the get go taking our order. When I finally mentioned something about the food and asked for a refund after literally taking 2 bites they "graciously" refunded 50% of the bill and threw out the food. Everything about this experience was terrible save for the plantains, the salted chocolate chip cookie, and the company I was with. If you like food with flavors and nice people don't come here. read more

the deviled eggs were probably the best thing I tried, they were pretty good and the tiny pickles were a cute and crunchy elevation to the flavor. The Caribbean plate lacked much flavor at all, the sauce was just spicy but it felt more like a cover up than an addition to the bland flavors on the plate--- while it was a large portion I prefer taste over quantity. The veggie burger we ordered also was lacking flavor and the patty kept falling apart and tasted very earthy but not in a good way. Servers were kind and accommodating. TLDR: food bland, large portions, good service read more

Awesome restaurant with a casual vibe, friendly staff and great food. Decided to meet up with some friends for lunch on a trip to the LA area, and found this vegan friendly spot in Glendale not far from my hotel. We placed our orders and then sat outside. They brought out our drinks and quickly followed that with our meals. I had the vegan burrito bowl and the jackfruit crab cake appetizer. The food was delicious and the portions were a healthy size. My friends had the cheeseburger, the pea soup, Brussels sprouts and the tempeh reuben, and they really enjoyed their food as well. The servers were even gracious to provide sliced apples for my friends' dog. We had a nice long visit and never felt pressured to clear out. I will definitely be back here to eat again the next time I come visit the area. read more

I hate to leave this review, especially since I already voiced it to staff before I left and said I didn't want to, but upon coming home, here goes. We ordered kids Mac and cheese for my 4 yr old and chili for me. When the Mac and cheese was brought out we were told the bowl was hot (it was on another plate) but it wasn't just hot-it was scalding. I had to grab a few napkins to serve it to my kid on the plate. He accidentally touched it and said his hand was burning and cried, so I had him hold a cup of ice I had and we tried to finish the meal. The Mac was super dry inside, clearly over-microwaved. The cornbread with the chili was cold (fine, whatever) but super super dry. Once we left and got in the car my kid kept crying saying his hand hurt from the hot bowl (he was no longer holding the ice cup). I'm confused as to why they would serve the kids food in a bowl so hot, not even the adult can handle it, and, I get it's for a kid but it should still be good and not so dried out it comes out without sauce and in little dried bits. In all honestly, I've tried to like this place for the 9 years I've lived in Eagle Rock but today has to be the last time I come. Not just for the hottest bowl ever, but the food was not good and never has been, and my bi-yearly visit always has me forgetting, read more

Their seasonal menu is great! I love the spring salad right now! All their food is always good and the service is great even tho it's a walk up order! They always make sure you are happy and have what you need. Always have a salted chocolate chip cookie! read more

Simple, fresh ingredients, and reasonably priced! For $16 you get a great sized salmon or mahi filet brown rice and black beans. Cooked perfectly.

I'll also be looking into their prep'd meal plans! read more
