I am so happy to find a restaurant that is so mindful in providing delicious food options that are responsive to diverse food limitations, and doesn't lack in quality or flavor. My gluten free friends really struggle to eat comfortably and this place is kind of a godsend f My biggest criticism is price point. 3 of us got breakfast and a drink and we racked up a 110 bill without much effort. Still delicious and high quality meal and we will be back! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - Do love the cute little kids kitchen! - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - Breakfast bowl - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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. read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - House Pancakes Mikeys Chilaquiles Huevos Rancheros Jo's Breakfast Sandwich - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - Chilaquiles, horchata, taco, rose lemonade - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you are looking for a healthy, flavorful, and fresh breakfast, kitchen mouse is the place to be. This small yet mighty cafe offers the best breakfast tacos for a good price. Upon entering, you grab a menu, look at the drink menu on their chalkboard and then place your order with the server. Then you get a number and you pick a table and the servers will give you your food. I always grab the breakfast tacos which come in a set of 3 with eggs, I am assuming cholula cream and veggies. They are very filling and I eat everything. Another is the chilaquiles and I am now craving chilaquiles - its delicious: look at the picture. And then the horchata latte - its tastes like authentic horchata which I loved. I would highly reccomending visiting if you are new to the highland park area. Another thing to note is that they look out for their community and I really appreciate that about them. Thank you. read more

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! read more

My friend is a vegetarian, so we went to a restaurant in Highland Park for dinner during Restaurant Week, which was $45 per person. The menu looked great, so we decided to give it a try. They specifically mentioned that we didn't have to order from the Restaurant Week menu, which allowed us to try a variety of other dishes. The food was excellent, and their unique sauces made the vegetarian dishes even more flavorful. It felt healthy without being overly vegan. Overall, it was a great experience. We loved the reasonable prices, the cozy atmosphere, and the fact that the restaurant is only open on Fridays and Saturdays until 9 p.m., and closes at 4 p.m. the rest of the week. They also offer a happy hour, though parking nearby can be a bit tricky. Overall, it's a great spot for vegetarians. read more

What a phenomenal spot! I came here with a friend after the LA Marathon and this place really delivered across the board! The Buffalo bowl was my favorite, but the smashed potatoes with the fresh dill sauce were also amazing as a side. The salted chocolate chip cookie was such a delight too, I would love to check out their bakery that's down the street another time now. The service was very friendly and fast and the ambiance was delightful as well. Here's everything I tried: 5/5 - Buffalo Bowl: super flavorful buffalo sauce with a blend of beans, rice, yams, collard greens, and a drizzle of their dill sauce (I think?). Definitely feeling and also very tasty! 5/5 - Smashed Potatoes: think country potatoes but somehow a little bit better and softer. It comes with your choice of one of their homemade sauces, I went with the recommendation for their Dill and had no regrets at all, it was my favorite sauce by far! 4.5/5 - Lemon Blueberry Pancakes: A very delightful pancake dish with a lemon whipped cream and blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were very fresh and the lemon cream was subtle, but a delight. It would have been nice to have some sort of syrup or compote, because it did feel a little dry, but overall still very tasty! 5/5 - Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie: A delicious & giant sea salt chocolate chip cookie. If you want a sweet treat or you like cookies, this is a must try! 4/5 - Mini Cornbread Muffin: A fun little complimentary bite sized item. This felt very fresh and it pairs well with their coffee while you wait for your food, I only wish it was bigger haha. Food: 4.75/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.25/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 read more

Came here to meet with a local friend since I was in LA for the day. I didn't realize that Kitchen Mouse had a larger restaurant front in addition to a bakery, and I found myself at the bakery first since that's where my Lyft driver dropped me off. I ended up getting a matcha latte with oat milk and a rosemary bagel with herb spread made with cashew. I was able to take everything next door to their larger restaurant, and my friend and I were able to find seating outside that accommodated her dog as well! My bagel tasted nice when warmed up and toasty! And I don't think anyone would be able to guess the cream "cheese" spread being vegan! If I had known about the restaurant side being separate, I definitely would have checked out their menu first! read more

I definitely want to come again and try more of their actual brunch options. read more

Crave-worthy and healthy plant-based food, what could be better! My son and I loved this place so much we ate there twice in as many days, while on a mini vacation in Pasadena. I live across the river from Portland OR and thought Portland has the best vegan restaurants on the west coast - until I experienced the Kitchen Mouse - and Tane Vegan Izakaya! Tane brings vegan sushi to a level I didn't know was possible! And the Kitchen Mouse rocks bowls, wraps and a smorgasbord of delectable baked goods - all gluten-free! I've been thinking it may be time for me to relocate to SoCal... read more

Stopped by kitchen mouse cafe after an appointment i had close by. I want to start by saying that the actual cafe is really cute. I like the colors, artwork and all the plants they have. The staff were also really nice and attentive. It does get busy and you can see the employees hustling delivering food to the tables. Also, I should Of done my research before coming here. I didn't know it was primarily plant based/vegan ish. I normally steer away from food like that just because it's not my go to. Anyways i was already in line and hungry. I wanted to give them a chance right? So i ordered the chilaquiles and i was just not impressed. The cashew cheese was a flavor i was not use to nor could i enjoy. Also, the "enchilada salsa" was just not for me solely because i kept comparing it to authentic Mexican chilaquiles. The coffee i got was good but other than that. I won't be returning but glad i gave it a chance. read more

Kitchen Mouse is pure joy from start to finish. They have fabulous, thoughtful vegan options that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and the folx who work there are consistently warm, kind, and welcoming. My absolute favorites: * Breakfast Tacos - perfectly seasoned, fresh, and satisfying. * Morning Glory Bowl - nourishing and flavorful, the kind of dish that makes you feel good all day. * Snickerdoodle Pancakes - cozy, cinnamon-kissed perfection. * Lemon Blueberry Pancakes - bright, tangy, and sweet, a true treat for the senses. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the attached shop is a gem--perfect for finding a thoughtful gift for someone else or a little something for yourself. And here's the insider tip: after breakfast, walk around the corner to their Bakery location and pick up the best vegan cream cheese on the planet. The Jalapeño Veggie is absolutely amazing--creamy, flavorful, and unforgettable. I generally don't gravitate toward cream cheese and I put this stuff on everything. Every visit feels like a hug in café form. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing vegan-friendly food in LA. read more

Fun cafe to visit , free refills . You can serve yourself. Seems very busy but friendly staff. Got pancake was very good.

Yay for first review of the year! Wanted to go back to visit Highland Park after having been just once in the evening, and saw that this place was highly rated for breakfast. The aesthetic is super cute and cozy; I love their green color scheme. The prices aren't too cheap, but not too expensive either. For example, their breakfast sandwich is in the $15 range but their lattes are $7. Their menu has a lot of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and nut free options which is always great. Everything tasted pretty good! read more

A friend recommended Kitchen Mouse, and I'll admit I was skeptical. Vegetarian? Would I actually enjoy it? The truth is, I loved it. If I could, I'd come here all the time. Plus, there's plenty of street parking, which is a bonus! When you walk in, the space feels warm and inviting, with lots of tables inside and plenty of natural light pouring in. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, which adds to the charm of the place. We ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes, the buffalo bowl, the morning glory bowl, and the Moro cakes. Everything was delicious, but the Moro cakes stole the show for me and the sauce they came with was next level. I'm still dreaming about it! This spot truly exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back. read more
