I first searched from Korea town's Almandine, Bosco Bakery, Paris Baguette to Baker's Bench, What I Kneeded, and finally to Kitchen Mouse before I got my memorable flaky light and vanishing fix! (Not to mention the first visit complimentary pb&j cookie!). The venue is a Haight-Ashbury time capsule or parallelogram. I offered to swap out their potting soil for Zoodoo fir a nominal fee and even pitched my children's book Jamylah and the Giants read more

The vegan/gluten free bakery of your DREAMS! The cafe is great too but I live and die for the salted chocolate chip cookies and the s'mores brownie things. Great coffee drinks. And I love sitting out at their sidewalk tables and people watching in the shade. read more

The tacos here are pretty good, they are better than the breakfast sandwich that we also ordered. The place is kinda hippy, it's very cute. It's child friendly bc the restaurant offers coloring pages and colors. The service was quick. It was decently packed on a Sunday morning but the food didn't take long. I don't know if I would be coming again but it's worth a shot! Also the coffee and the fresh orange juice were delicious! read more

Eating at Kitchen Mouse was the culinary highlight of my trip to LA. I must note I am a carnivore of the highest order. Tomahawk ribeyes, thick cut pork bacon, and Kurobuta pork chops are the centerpiece of my refrigerator. However as a guest staying in an Airbnb in Highland Park and this place being high on my hosts suggestion list, I had to try it out. The place is super cute and I don't use this word to describe things often. But foam green happens to be one of my favorite colors for various appliances and kitchen accessories, so I was loving the décor. There were so many different places to sit. Large tables of four and six. Nooks by the window facing bustling Figueroa Street. Outdoor seating snuggled against the shop and table and bench seating closer to the street both shaded and enclosed. I ordered the Tikka mushroom tacos with red lentil daal. I cannot imagine Moe's, District Taco, The Taco Stand, Del Taco, or Baja Fresh having a taco even remotely as flavorful as these! The mushrooms were bursting with umami flavor. Moist, meaty, and just all around well seasoned. The soft corn tacos were definitely soft. The corn was corning. The mint chutney was popping! THIS! The soup was a light accompaniment to these scrumptious tacos. So how good was it? I had to come back the next day for lunch! Yes it was that good. Mind you this is Figueroa Street. You can't get more foodie than this in LA. So on this, my second visit, I had the Kale Caesar salad with oyster mushrooms. The Kale was firm and tender at the same time. There was a soft and faint lemony herb dressing on the greens and the croutons held up well on the kale salad. The mushrooms would make my bacon jealous. During both visits, I enjoyed a cinnamon crumb raspberry tart and a glass of lemonade. Both yummy. I don't know when I will be in LA next, but I'm definitely going to be hopping on that Blue line to Highland Park to get me some Kitchen Mouse! read more

Kitchen Mouse has been my go-to neighborhood breakfast spot for the past 10 years and the cute aesthetic, family friendly vibes, attentive staff, consistency, and delicious food (that fits all of my dietary restrictions) is a god-send! I joke that it's my second home, but I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. This unique spot is unlike anything I've ever experienced and while I'd love to gatekeep... I want everyone to know how amazing it is. read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - Breakfast Tacos, Gomasio Brown Rice Cakes, extra mushrooms, fresh squeezed OJ. - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food is great and consistent (a bit overpriced) but they've converted the set up in the back to a kid's shop so if you're eating at any of the tables there (literally where 90% of the tables are) you're subjected to kids screaming their lungs off. The staff looked like they were suffering along with the rest of us. There was a kid with an ear piercing shriek that made 8 of us at tables cover our ears to eat. At what point does management step in instead of having every other customer inconvenienced? When we left, we could still hear the kid with the doors closed as we waited to cross the light. read more

Fantastic Saturday breakfast at Kitchen Mouse today! Tried the vegan Lemon Blueberry pancakes and the Chilaquiles with tofu. Delicious! The staff is always so friendly and the restaurant is so cute! Really enjoy the colors and set up there. Highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed my meal. It's very loud inside. And that part can not be handled. It's too hot inside. Very little to No AC. THE FOOD: I had the burger bowl - it's a nice salad with a burger and thousand island sauce with avocado. There is a very high up charge for 2 small slices of tempeh bacon. Hubby had pancakes and eggs. One coffee total $55 and a tip. Consider the cost of the meal I expected to be waited on. It's not a good exchange because there's very little service. I do like this place and have come many times. There's always fundraisers outside the door which annoys me because I already donate LOT TO MANY NON PROFIT organizations. I don't want to hassled when on a date with hubby. Parents bring toddlers and I saw one almost run out the door. That's wild. This place is good for kids. I think if I had little kids I would come get because the kids meals are affordable. read more

Rude service. Walked in to pickup an order, first lady comes to the register clicks some buttons, doesn't acknowledge me and walks away. Second guy comes up after seeing that interaction and was just as rude. Hands me my order, and before I could finish saying thank you he turned his back on me. Wack as hell. Update: just got home and opened the food and they didn't even give me the right item 0/10 read more

Yummy vegan food! Simple little place in Highland Park. It's not fancy... just good, simple vegan food.

Every time I eat here I'm reminded of just why they are one of the few fully vegan restaurants still around: the food is somehow a masterful mix of healthy and extremely delicious. Today I tried their brown rice cakes with citrus purple frisee, ginger mint chutney, crispy oyster mishrooms, and grilled shishito peppers. This is my new favorite dish. Really hit the spot and was so nice to eat such a tasty perfectly balanced dish thats honestly on par with excellent fine dining restaurants without the fine dining price. I couldn't help but to buy 2 packs of their delicious homemade cream cheese as well since you really can't find good vegan cream cheese in stores. If you want an amazingly tasty and healthy meal at affordable prices, of you want to have tons of classic breakfast and lunch options along with truly inventive dishes, you need Kitchen Mouse in your life and in your mouth! read more

I feel like this place has gotten better with their food and service over time. The space is now bigger now that they have the outside area and the two neighboring stores. There's a little attached boutique with lots of cute goodies as well. The breakfast tacos are the bomb! I love these delicious little things. I ate everything! Such a highland park staple and if you're vegan it would be a sin not to stop by. read more

I totally came to this place based on one of my favorite artists I found recently on YouTube. I live in San Diego and I wrote a list in Yelp so I could try this place and I was really surprised they had a non-caffeine drink called. I think the dandy and I forgot it was not coffee. It is delicious and now I'm wondering if I can get it in San Diego. Anyone know if it's a brand on their invention? So impressed! I also got a plate with a snickerdoodle pancake, YES! So good read more

Kitchen Mouse Cafe - Snickerdoodle pancake - Vegan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food is ok, overpriced. The pancake was a nice healthy take on a pancake. I was annoyed that the "maple syrup" was actually molasses but at least it wasn't that fake pancake syrup. Pretty noisy inside. Outside seating is in the street like during Covid. Edit: I am from New Hampshire, I know what good maple syrup taste like and this is not it. It must be grade B, but it tastes like molasses more than it does maple syrup and it's not delicious. read more

Cute and cozy cafe in my hometown of Highland Park. Went for breakfast and to get a few pastries. Staff is friendly and go above and beyond. Food is fresh and delicious.

Kitchen Mouse is a vegetarian brunch spot in Highland Park, a palette that's overall very clean and light. It's a popular place, but there's a good amount of searing inside. It's also a very highly-rated spot, and while I definitely appreciate this place and understand the positive reviews, I didn't necessarily have the same experience here -- the Snickerdoodle Pancake was decent, but a bit on the saltier side. The Buffalo Bowl had a lot of starches, probably not the best choice here. The Gomasio Brown Rice Cakes were the best dish we had, though small. Lastly, I heard the matcha was great here but it was pretty watery. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes, but I thought the meal was just alright. read more

4.5/5 stars for Kitchen Mouse! I'm so so happy we ended up having brunch here today! The whole cafe was a vibe! Love their spacious, green, clean and pleasing place! Customer service was great too! To those confused (just coz we are not anymore): EVERYTHING IS VEGAN!!! You just have an option to make your food/drink VEGETARIAN by: Adding real eggs or opting for whole milk. That's it. Otherwise, they're dairy-free, gluten-free and plant-based! We love it here. They even have a market, a small play space, and a bakery right around the block! We can't wait to be back! Oh, and FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD!!! read more

Awesome mushroom sandwich, no photos because we inhaled them! The service was great. We learned the particular sandwiches we wanted were only served in the coffee shop area, by the time we walked around the corner to the coffee shop side, the owner had already gone through the back and was waiting for us. And the lady behind the counter was super cool and friendly. Can't complain about the service at all. It's also super cute. We loved sitting by the window and catching up over our coffees after lunch. I would go back for sure! read more

The cutest warmest atmosphere with attentive service, and the most comforting delicious plant based food!

Kitchen Mouse is great. I love that all of their food is clean. I do wish they had more dishes that are less carb heavy. All of their breakfast items have a lot of carbs. They have a few salads but that's it. The place is extremely cute though and the servers are super nice and really friendly. I would definitely come back here. read more

This one is for you Quintin E. A few weeks ago, I noticed something new had opened up in the space that used to be home to Mr. Holmes Bakeshop. I stopped by the other day to check it out. I was excited when I read the sign that said: Kitchen Mouse - The Bakery. Kitchen Mouse is a cool little Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant that is just around the corner. The owner, Erica Daking, started her catering business out of her home a few years ago and has since expanded to the restaurant. Apparently, business has been so good that she has now opened a bakery. The lovely Ruzhdije greeted me when I walked in. She was enthusiastic, friendly, and explained what all the baked goods were and told me which ones contained nuts and which ones didn't. (I'm fine with nuts.) I arrived about 30 minutes after they opened so she was still bringing out fresh baked goods from the kitchen. All their items are Vegan and most are gluten-free. The pastry case was filled with muffins, cookies, coffee cakes, and other yummy looking baked treats. They make their own bread with organic wheat flour, which is used for vegan sandwiches. There is also a variety of house made sides, dips, and salads available to go in addition to coffee, beverages, and cute novelty gifts. Everything looked fantastic and I wanted one of each. Eventually, I decided on a chocolate chip muffin with cinnamon streusel on top ($5), a berry oat crumble bar ($4.75), and a coffee cake ($5.50). Since I live a few blocks away everything was still warm when I got home, which made me happy. Chocolate Chip Muffin: This had a nice flavor. It was moist and fluffy inside. The chips were slightly melted. The top was crisp, and I loved the crunchy cinnamon streusel topping. Berry Oat Crumble Bar: Delicious! The shortbread base was soft and coated with a thin layer of berry jam. It was topped with a yummy coconut oat crumble. (Ruzhdije said this was her favorite. One bite and I knew why.) Coffee Cake: Super moist and tasty with a ribbon of cinnamon inside. The coco cinnamon crumb topping was very tasty. These delightful treats were amazing. I would have never guessed that they were Vegan/gluten-free. They were flavorful and the texture and quality was perfect. Kitchen Mouse - The Bakery is just around the corner from the restaurant. Metered street parking and free street parking nearby. read more

Holy vegan! This place is an awesome spot if you're looking for great vegan food with lots of flavor. I love how you order at the register and find your own seat. Super casual. Large outdoor seating area and the service was great. The chilaquiles were flavorful especially after adding the jackfruit al pastor (an absolute must). The pancake was also delicious and the dirty chai was one of the best I've had. Another plus is that their "dairy" of choice is oat milk (I'm biased but it's my favorite milk so I was excited). Also note, they have a couple options with eggs if you're craving a little something non-vegan. It's also dog friendly so it's a great place for a little outing if you have a pup with ya! read more

Kitchen Mouse has become a favorite local staple for me. I have been there more times than I can count and am happy to share that it is worth the small wait in line. I love the vintage piggy banks and the hanging plants in macrame. The pastels and the kiddy corner, are all too homey and sweet. Whats not to like!?!? The staff is so friendly and attentive. Do plan to come here and wait in line to order before you grab a table, thats just proper Kitchen Mouse etiquette. You can't go wrong with this place. My favorite dishes are the jos breakfast sandwich, breakfast tacos, and jackfruit tacos. Oh and the smores bar is the best thing you will ever have. read more

the cutest cafe ever perhaps, but it fell short for me i've been fiending for a good matcha for so long and i usually don't like to get drinks where it's not specialized like at a coffee shop but saw everyone ordering matcha and on here too so i got one i don't know if it's premade or what but the color was barely green, more off white looking but couldn't really tell because the cups were green so that was upsetting the rose lemonade was also fine the food was good, really good but maybe because it was my first meal of the day and i was hungry af the star were the snickerdoodle pancakes; the taste EXACTLY like cinnamon rolls like wow i love the amount of cinnamon they put the chilaquiles are made with some enchilada sauce and not spicy but it was nice, they weren't fully saturated so felt like the plate was more like deconstructed nachos lol the sandwich would've been great if there were more textures in there it was all soft and wet from the sauce and oily because of the bread where's the crunch or at least have a side option since it's like $20 regardless i was stuffed and satisfied read more

The prices have gone up and now house favorites are half the portion and charging extra for what use to already come in it. The staff is so nice and it's such a great place but to make the portion smaller and up charge $3+ and then charge more to add on ingredients that use to already be in it feels wrong. I understand food cost has gone up but it would be better to raise the prices and keep it as is or if it isn't cost efficient just take it off your menu. Look at the portion difference from March to July and now you have to pay extra for the sausage in the sandwich. read more

The chilaquiles also looked great and my friend really enjoyed them. This place is great if you are vegetarian. It's on the pricier side but not by much. It was pretty busy when we went so we did wait in line for a while but nothing crazy. I would recommend! read more

a VEGAN DELIGHT I wanted to try their famous buckwheat pancakes after, and they did NOT disappoint. It tastes veryyy healthy, but the flavor is amazing and not overly sweet. I recommend getting the plate with eggs & mushroom sausages for a balance of sweet and savory. The breakfast sandwich was also sooo filling and good--the millet toast is crispy and slightly nutty! The server was so lovely and gave us cornbread muffins on the house! I had such an amazing brunch experience here on a Sunday morning, and it was very busy. Plenty of outdoor and indoor dining & there's a cute shop next door to look around after! If you visit Highland Park, Kitchen Mouse for brunch is a definite must. read more

Wasn't aware that this restaurant is a vegan/vegetarian only, but we have no problem with that. We wish it was labeled on their yelp page. Overall, all of their food are good, I love the pancakes, and my sesame rice cake which comes with mushroom salad is good too! The crispy mushrooms are very flavorful. We had to wait around 15 minutes, but we were able to secure a table beforehand. Parking was tricky, but we managed to find some street parking across the restaurant. read more
