I remember driving by this place several months back and not being impressed by the name. (Hyper-critical, to a fault. It's a Virgo thing.) Months later I'm getting some bits and baubles worked out on my car nearby and had to lug around a big load of summer clothes that were on their way to storage. See, I can't leave anything in the car during maintenance because what if greasy, oil-drenched mitts touch my stuff. (More Virgo-ness, no judgment. It's me. Not my mechanics, bless their hearts.) ANYWAY, looking like a runaway with a cotton-bag full of skirts and Hermès scarves thrown over my shoulder, guess which spot was the closest for breakfast-while-I-wait. Mhm. Lemme tell ya, first of all, organic coffee. So already nailing it. Plus the raspberry scone was Spectacular, with a capital "s." But here's the deal: the amount of money foot-trafficking this place -- nice! Keep in mind the house-prices in this neighborhood, so these people have style! *Gwen Stefani voice, LAMB-era* Service: Excellent. So now I know, the name is obvs a double-entendre. Well played, kids. Well played. read more

Cute place on Beverly that I've been meaning to go to. The food quality is fantastic, but the service is one of the worst I've experienced. We felt like an absolute burden. Didn't see a single staff member even smile or as much as say hello. No one came to refill the water or ask if we needed anything or even ask how the food was. One of us had pancakes and it came with nothing. Finally wave someone down and asked for butter and syrup. Few minutes later later someone drops off syrup and runs, but no butter. Had to wait again to flag someone else and ask for butter. Some frozen butter packs were delivered for now our old pancakes. Great food, terrible service. No one wanted to be bothered. Sadly, I don't think I would go again. read more

Not the greatest breakfast burrito I've had . Judging from the neighboring tables food outside, could be the case I ordered one of their weakest items as the other food was Visually appealing. So I thought the breakfast burrito had some sort of meat. I don't read the fine print . This was indeed a vegetarian bean/guacamole/ egg burrito. I will say, the actually tortilla shell was warm and grilled nicely: Everything else pretty much fell apart. The salsa -- extremely watery . If it was homemade, it sucked. The burrito itself was incredibly bland this is nothing but beans, eggs, guacamole. Eggs were unseasoned. Without any sort of meat, all I tasted were the eggs. At least everything was handled at à proper temperature. Hey, and the side potatoes were cold/room temperature . Not a fresh batch at all. Disappointed with this one. read more

Portions here are very good for the price! Around $20 a person. Paninis are both delicious. Highly recommend the chicken one if you like garlic and caramelized onions, perfect combo! Service is very friendly and everyone is quick, especially with water and any napkins. Inside is a nicer small diner and outside the tables are very nice too, but can't accommodate more than a party of 6. read more

Kings Road Cafe is packed on the weekend and it's got the cutest old-school cafe vibe. I stopped by with a friend on a Friday morning for breakfast. The service was quick and polite. I ordered the spinach and goat cheese omelette. There was definitely plenty of food; I ended up taking half of my portion home. The plate was $20. I just wasn't blown away by the flavor of the food. It was a really good classic omelette, but I didn't think it was amazing by any means. Next time I'd be curious to try one of their bakery items instead. I think this place would be great for a study spot during the week. read more

Excellent bagel and lox! Real maple syrup too with the French toast!! Sourdough bread is worth the visit

I visited this spot for a Sunday breakfast and my experience here was good. This restaurant looked like a great spot for a breakfast since they have lots of outdoor seating by the road which reminded me of European cafes. Firstly, for the drink I got an iced mocha latte. It was pretty good and married the espresso and chocolate flavors well. For my main dish, I ordered eggs benedict and it was decent. The presentation of it was good and it was unique since they used a croissant bun for the eggs benedict. However, the croissant didn't seem very fresh and neither were the potatoes, the textures just seemed a bit off. The overall dish was still enjoyable though. The eggs were cooked well and were jammy and the canadian bacon was solid. The service here was solid as well. For parking, there's street parking and metered parking nearby. Overall, a decent experience here. I would maybe come back if someone invited me or if it was convenient, but I would still opt for other breakfast/brunch places in the neighborhood. read more

I've seen it around forever but finally decided to stop by for breakfast. The number one thing that defines a good breakfast cafe for me is the quality of the food. Too many places drown their potatoes in oil or, even worse, deep fry them to death until there's not a trace of real flavor left. This cafe is on the oily side. Let's start with the good - the atmosphere. Yeah, it's an old-school cafe, and it shows. Everything feels aged, worn out, but somehow cozy. The people who come here are actually the best part of the experience. Friendly, lively crowd: couples on dates, people chatting over business all smiles, all good vibes. The service was ok too. And now, the bad part, the food. Tiny portions, poorly cooked, greasy, and just sad. The potatoes were swimming in oil, and my eggs looked they were pigeon size.. For $20-30 a plate, this was just a joke. I added an extra egg after seeing how small the portions were, and it still looked pathetic. Even the side salad had no effort put into it. So yeah, great atmosphere, great people, terrible food. Come here if you want to soak in the L.A. morning cafe vibes but don't count on good food. This aint it. read more

Honestly BEST COFFEE IN LA!!!! I've tried a lot of shops throughout the city and this is my favorite. Strong rich coffee flavor. Bakery and Restaurant are also outstanding. The staff is very friendly and they seem like they put care and quality into their coffee and foods. read more

Went to lunch with some coworkers and was informed that this spot was pretty good for a nice sit down lunch. The server let us know that we could seat ourselves and she promptly attended to us. This is an outside and inside seating restaurant that is dog friendly so we had to get our area cleaned throughly because the table had dog hair all over it. The waitress suggested the oven roasted chicken panini so that's what I got. They were also very accommodating to my friend who was vegetarian by providing her with veggie tacos. The Panini was a safe choice not good or bad but satisfying. They gave decent size portions so the side salad was almost like a whole ceaser. My other friend ordered the same meal as me but his chicken was a little undercooked which made it similar rubbery. We informed the waitress and she took the panini off his bill which was very commendable. A solid 3 star is fair for this restaurant in my opinion, very middle of the pack. read more

Kings Road Cafe - Latte - Caramel, Vanilla or Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place used to be a staple for my boyfriend so I've been a couple times and I've never been impressed. I've ordered several different things from the menu and I'm always left underwhelmed and wishing I ordered something else or gone somewhere else. During our most recent visit I ordered the steak tacos which comes with a Cesar salad. The tacos are quite large and come with a nice avocado "salsa" which is more like a guacamole spread. The Cesar salad is warm and soggy with croutons that are so garlicky, they completely overpower the flavors of the taco and leave a horrible after taste. That's coming from someone who loves garlic. The service is always great and everyone is super friendly. The location is a little corner spot on Beverly Blvd so it's easy to get to on weekend mornings and it's always packed around 11am so they must be doing something for everyone to keep returning. Personally, I think there are better diner spots down the road with similar options. read more

Terrible customer service! The server made me write my orders down. There's a first time for everything I guess.

This neighborhood joint has been serving up quality coffees and elevated brunch dishes since the 90's and that 90's vibe is still prevailing at least in the decor, to this day. I love it. Everything is practically made in house including their awesome breads that they serve by the loaves next door. Expect to definitely wait for a table on the weekends but with plenty of outside and inside seating the awesome staff ensures your wait isn't excessively long. read more

I thought coming here on a Saturday morning would be a bananas scene between parking and getting a table but it was all good. At around 10 am ish, the boyfriend and I got nearby parking (yes metered but where is parking free anymore). The helpful hostess got us seated right away. We were hungry so we didn't linger too long over the menu but there was a lot of good brunch/breakfast standards. The coffee (hot for him, iced oat milk latte for me) was tasty and strong. I got the half size french toast and it did not disappoint. The potatoes that came with my boyfriend steak and eggs were delish and the bacon was cooked perfectly - not too crispy - not too soggy. Sidewalk seating was cute. Lots of people with dogs. Looking forward to adding Kings Road to the morning rotation. read more

If you're a quality junkie, then Kings Road Cafe is the place for you. Everything tastes delicious and has that made from scratch quality. The coffee is roasted and prepared to perfection (not to mention being roasted by the cafe's owner, personally) And don't get me started on the pastries! Literally. Don't get me started. It's hard to order just one. The ambiance is super casual and the staff are a delight. Always smiling and eager to please. We mainly go for breakfast, but today we will be returning for lunch because we aren't in the area that often, so we gotta get while the gettin's good. If you go once, you'll be back. Guaranteed. 10 stars out of 5 ‍ read more

I came here for brunch with friends on Father's Day, and it was such a great experience. As SOON as I walked in, I was greeted right away by a staff member, which made me feel really welcomed. They originally said the wait would be about 15 minutes, but we were seated in closer to 5, which was an awesome surprise on such a busy day! I ordered the King Road Burger, and wow it was bigger than I expected and reallllllyyyy good. The fries were just as impressive super crispy and honestly kind of addictive. The coffee hit the spot too. The servers were kind and attentive, which made the visit even better. The space is a bit small, but it felt cozy and lively. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the great service, good music, good vibes, and seriously delicious food. read more

I went in to the coffee shop side and there were 3 staff members moving around. I stood there waiting for someone to ask me what I wanted to order- no one acknowledged my presence. I stood there for 4 minutes waiting and waiting and waiting. Not a single person said "we will be with you in a sec", NO ONE. So I walked away and went to Blue Bottle Coffee- 2 blocks down. Better coffee, better service. read more

I went here on a Saturday morning around 10am and stayed for about an hour. It wasn't overly crowded at this time and my friend and I were able to find a seat outside to enjoy our meal! The people behind the counter were so kind and helpful, they made the place feel lively in the best way I really enjoyed the Chicken Sausage and Fontina omelet. The portion size was bigger than I expected and the toast + potatoes were a pleasant surprise as I didn't realize the omelet came with sides! The omelet was extremely filling and had a good ratio for all the ingredients - I never felt like there was too much of one ingredient. The potatoes were nicely cooked and deliciously seasoned, I didn't need to add any extra seasoning to them besides just a pinch more salt (I love my potatoes a little extra salty so just personal preference!). The toast was also so light and airy, a lovely bread pairing with the omelet for sure. I spent about $30 here (including tip!) for the omelet and a chai latte (not pictured). We got lucky with finding street parking since it was still pretty early in the morning but definitely keep in mind if you plan to visit here later in the day. Thank you for the delicious meal, Kings Road Cafe! read more

Always amazing! The negative reviews are bogus because I've been coming here with the all of LA and the Weho neighborhood since 2000. The food is the same great quality (and serving size) and the coffee cannot be beat, this coffee is the richness of what Alfred Peet used to brew when he started and it's still the best in SoCal. Try this and then try a new breakfast restaurant in town...you'll keep coming back here! read more

Our second visit (coming from Las Vegas) to Kings Road Cafe was as wonderful as the first! The spinach and goat cheese omelette was outstanding with a good proportion of spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and goat cheese to egg. The oatmeal was hot and loaded fresh fruit. Our server was attentive and personable along with the other staff. The outdoor dining is surrounded by well kept planters and plenty of shade from the morning sun. All in all a very pleasant experience and we would Highly Recommend read more

Absolutely horrendous service. I was seated and given a menu but no one helped me. I asked a waitress if someone could help me. She wasn't my waitress but put in my order.

The best coffee on earth!!! If you're not a coffee drinker, one sip and you'll be changed. Great service! Their barista was always on point and kind. Inside was simple but you can tell it's special. The aroma will wake you up! I always buy bags of their coffee beans. There's nothing close in Simi Valley that can match its quality and flavor. Mackena? Maybe but not close. Finding parking was always a challenge but it's feasible if you get lucky. About the coffee - it's smooth, full bodied, chocolaty, non-acidic and creamy. The quality was second to none. I haven't found a better one. Truly the best! read more

I door dashed a couple breakfast items over the weekend and was not disappointed. I was iffy about how the lox bagel would taste, but it was good!

They did however forget my muffin :\ But I would definitely come back again, but in-person! read more

There was a time where I was frequently Visiting Kings Rd., Café and when I say frequently, I mean at least anywhere between 3 to 4 times a week. In May 2020 my boss moved down the street and when the world shut down and we all went into quarantine. shortly after places open back up Kings Road was one of the very few places, we would grab breakfast or coffee to go as he lived walking distance from Kings and we worked out of his house due to the closures. Kings Road has probably the best coffee I've ever had. It's Rich. It's smooth. It's velvety. It's chocolatey. It is so f-ing good. I used to get an almond milk latte. Sometimes with throwing an order of poached eggs and often would get their cabbage salad. Their pan o chocolate was also very good and probably one of the best I've ever had. Prices are your typical West Hollywood/LA pricing with breakfast being anywhere between $20-$30 a person depending upon what you purchase. Service was fast and reliable, and the counter guys were always so nice and ready to have our phone orders available within 10 to 15 minutes of placing them There is ample outside and inside seating, although it could get pretty crowded relatively fast because it was always busy Now that I no longer work for that boss and the world has gone back to normal it's been quite a while since I've Had Kings Rd., Café Added bonus, you can get their coffee beans espresso ground and purchase a pound to go for home brewing read more
