    The ambiance and decor is to die for. So whimsical. So nature. So cute. Their staff is great as well. Super friendly and quick service. I came to try their vegan lemon pancake and was IN LOVE. The texture is perfect and the portion size is great. This is the perfect place to come for brunch. This is the place you come to when you want to feel romantic.

    Matcha latte and mocha latte

    Came here with a friend for a late breakfast/early lunch and decided to deviate from my favorite pancakes! I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which sounded so intriguing and unique. I have to say, I was not disappointed! I ordered it vegan with some tofu scramble and loved how the vegan cheese really melted into it. I also added a mushroom patty, which added an extra savory flavor and really enhanced the dish. It was great to get some extra protein in! My favorite part of the sandwich was the creamy chipotle sauce, which had a little bit of a kick to it! Everything was so well seasoned and really complimented one another. I ordered a mocha latte with oat milk, which was well balanced and just the right amount of sweetness. It gave me the energy I needed to take on the rest of the day! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the space was vibrant, fun and comfy! There was ample seating available inside and outside. Parking was fairly easy in the surrounding neighborhood. Be sure to join their loyalty club for additional discounts! I cannot wait to return soon and next time hope to try some of their enticing baked goods!

    Kitchen Mouse is the best I've found yet for a big vegan and gluten-free menu in L.A. I order the the side of potatoes for the table (it's massive and you can pick your sauce) every time I go, and I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about the mac and cheese. The chilaquiles are fire too. You truly cannot go wrong no matter what you order. I always bring friends and fam here when they visit L.A., and I wish they had more locations! Prepare to wait in line for a while. It's a super popular spot. It's order-at-the-counter, but it can take a bit. There are lots of pastry items in the case, assorted canned and bottled drinks, fresh juices, mimosas. Make sure to also check out the bakery location around the corner from the restaurant for loaves of bread, pastries, etc. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

    Met friends here on a Friday morning and easily secured a table. The we ordered at the counter and got our number. Water is self serve, so I grabbed some for us. Utensils and napkins are provided in a plastic beverage cup on the table. Had to raid an empty table for a couple napkins. I had the Avocado toast with tempeh for $16. It was good an a full meal. We enjoyed a leisurely conversation and only got a slightly annoyed side eye from the person feigning work on a lap top. Take that stink eye to the library. I always imagine these folks are wannabe screenwriters desperate for material scrapped together from bits of conversation. The arc of topics must have been fruitful for said wannabe as there were plenty of place to move to. A solid HLP place for a casual dining experience. Public parking is nearby for a small fee.

    The most delicious vegan carrot cake I've ever consumed was found at Kitchen Mouse Cafe. Moist, tender, perfectly spiced, and not too sweet. Adorable, convenient, great service, and overall lovely.

    Buffalo Mac N' Cheese
    Steven M.

    A few weeks back my wife and I were walking around after checking out a book store when we ended up grabbing some lunch at the Kitchen Mouse Cafe. This place looks super charming, has a bunch of seating, and a pretty decent sized menu. I made the mistake of ordering the Buffalo Mac N' Cheese without reading any sort of the description and that's something I ended up regretting. I've had a whole lot of vegan Mac N' Cheese in my life, but this one consisted of brown rice macaroni, cashew cheese sauce, yams, collard greens, buffalo sauce, and dill cashew cream. Now, I take full responsibility for not reading the description but I still don't know why it wasn't just Buffalo Mac N' Cheese without a bunch of other crap thrown in. The Macaroni itself was solid enough, but the dish wasn't very enjoyable thanks to the other things that were thrown in there. Overall, I was left disappointed and probably won't be seeking this place out in the future. If you are looking for a vegan spot, the staff here was super friendly and the environment was great, so hopefully you have a better experience than me.

    Huevos Rancheros with Tofu Scramble
    Ciara B.

    Place is super cute, with a really nice lime green interior. Plenty of space to sit during a weekday morning. I had the huevos rancheros with tofu scramble instead of egg. It was delicious, the amount of sauce was perfect, and the corn tortillas were really amazing.

    Smashed potatoes with Chipotle sauce
    Kathleen A.

    Always a treat to come here! I have dreams of those Smashed potatoes Service is friendly, plus we scored one if the cute window booths for Mom & me. Unlimited coffee is perfect for breakfast, strong (fair warning!). I decided to try the Chilaquiles with tofu scramble, plus a side of potatoes. Mom had the Breakfast Sandwich with JustEgg (no pic). Delicious & HUGE! We both couldn't finish, bringing leftovers, at least half, home for later. Love supporting a local vegan restaurant where everything is so flavorful and fresh!

    Do love the cute little kids kitchen!

    We used to come here a lot- like once a week. Then it was every two weeks and now it's far and few. The food used to be SO GOOD and the vibes were great. Not sure what happened but the portions got smaller, prices went up, service became mediocre. The food just tasted okay the last time we went. And paying like $89 for a family of three before tip would be understandable if the portions and service were on par but that's not the case. Sucks because this used to be my favorite breakfast spot.

    Thinking of eating a hearty and filling breakfast ? Say less and go to this place early ! Seats get filled up quickly. We ordered House Pancakes, Mikeys Chilaquiles, Huevos Rancheros, Jo's Breakfast Sandwich. They are all delicious ! Every dish is so fresh ! We love the ambiance and it's a great place to catch up with friends.

    I accidentally spent 2 hours here lol because it was so peaceful and inviting. I've been here a couple times and both times had a great experience! I brought my puppy the first time and an employee hung out with me for a bit giving her lots of love which I thought was so sweet. It's like one of those darling little cafes that feel like home

    Loved everything about this cafe! My sister and her dog Brax a regulars here, and she's been telling me I had to try it! The shop is adorable, there's plenty of seating, and they're dog-friendly! They have fresh flowers on each table and lots of plants! My kind of vibe. I got the huevos rancheros, which were DELICIOUS! 10/10! Each bite was perfect, and I cleaned the whole plate! My sister got the Burger Bowl Salad, which she says is her go-to! Both dishes were beautifully plated! I didn't get anything to drink, but there was a complimentary water station in the back (clutch!) I'd definitely come back here! Great vibes, delicious food, and socially buzzing! I regret that I didn't try their coffee, but that just means I have to come back! Totally Recommend!

    Very cute atmosphere in the interior!

    Really cute place and an all time classic for the Highland Park neighborhood. The vegan options are abundant despite it only being a vegetarian place. My one hang up after coming here for the last 9 years is that the food can be a bit on the high sodium side and the prices are a bit steep for what you're getting. The value used to be there and allowed me to frequent the restaurant, but now it is more of a special occasion meal. I highly recommend checking out the moros cakes!

    I had such a great experience at Modu Cafe today…read more I ordered an iced latte and a matcha latte, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth, and the matcha had a rich, balanced flavor without being overly sweet. What really stood out to me, though, was the bakery. The pastry display was absolutely beautiful--it felt more like an art exhibition with a subtle Japanese aesthetic than a typical bakery. I tried the Milk Cream Bun and the Miso Cinnamon Roll. The Milk Cream Bun was light and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness. The Miso Cinnamon Roll completely surprised me. I was curious how miso would work in a cinnamon roll, but it didn't taste noticeably like miso. Instead, it added a subtle savory umami that elevated the sweetness of the cinnamon roll beautifully. It was unlike anything I've had before. This place left such a great impression that I already want to come back and try the rest of the pastries. Highly recommended!

From waiting in line to receiving our drinks, the whole process took a little under 10 minutes. Parking is street parking only, but it's pretty easy. There are plenty of marked spaces nearby, and the streets are wide, so getting in and out of the spots isn't difficult. We ordered a Matcha Latte and Hojicha Latte with cream tops, which cost extra to add and brought each drink to around $8. Visually, they looked really promising, and from what I could see, everything was being hand whisked. Unfortunately, the drinks missed the mark for me. The matcha was smooth and not overly sweet, but it leaned more grassy, while I personally prefer matcha with nuttier notes. That part really just comes down to preference. The hojicha was more disappointing. It was still a little powdery, which was distracting, and I found it quite sweet. I was told it was lightly sweetened with agave, but the sweetness seemed to overpower some of the hojicha flavor. The hojicha itself seemed like it had a good flavor underneath, but everything together just didn't work for me. The cafe has a nice atmosphere and a pretty expansive menu, so it's possible I would've had a different experience with other items. However, considering how busy it was in the middle of a weekday, I'm not sure I'd recommend it as a reliable work or study spot. The staff was fine, but nothing particularly stood out about the service either. Overall, I've had much better matcha and hojicha elsewhere, especially at this price point. Modu Cafe unfortunately wasn't for me, and I'm not sure I'd come back specifically to give it another try.

Decaf espresso & milk alternatives (oat, almond, & soy) are also available. I stopped in on a Sunday morning to get a coffee to go. It was chilly out, and a Mocha sounded comforting. The mocha is made with a double shot of espresso, Ghirardelli chocolate, & whole milk. I requested almond milk. The barista was very nice and told me it would be ready in a few minutes. He handed me my beverage, and I was on my way. It was yummy. I could taste the boldness of the espresso mixed with notes of chocolate. The touch of almond milk added a little creaminess without watering it down. Now that I've been inside, I'm intrigued to come back for brunch. *Free street parking.

One thing to keep in mind is that this place has become extremely popular, especially on weekends. Seating can fill up quickly, and parking in Highland Park always requires a little patience. That said, the popularity is well deserved and speaks to the quality of the experience.

For a coffee shop, the lack of WiFi should really be posted at the entrance or register so people know before ordering. I had the barbacoa burrito and an iced Figueroa. Both were decent, not bad by any means, but definitely overpriced for what you get. Service was fine, and the ambiance is nice. I actually would have stayed for a while and probably ordered something else later had WiFi been available. Also worth noting that I had to pay for parking. Obviously that isn't the coffee shop's fault, but between parking and the higher prices, it ended up being a pretty expensive stop for somewhere I couldn't actually do the work I came there to do. I don't have an issue with a café choosing not to offer WiFi, but I do think that should be communicated upfront. Had I known before ordering, I would have chosen another coffee shop. If you're just coming for coffee, food, and the ambiance, you might have a different experience, but for my use case, I wouldn't recommend it.
