Absolutely love this place's vibe. It's like eating in your nana's backyard in the absolute best way. The grown up garden-party vibe. It's super cute and hidden and feels like you're not in LA. The food was good and the service was super friendly. Wasn't a fan of the mosquitoes though! But that's not their fault. read more

Lady Byrd is ***OPEN*** It was closed for 2 weeks due to personal circumstances but has reopened 3 days ago and ALL IS WELL in this world! LOVE LOVE LOVE the new menu! As soon as you are seated, a complimentary basket of Chips & Salsa appears magically to nibble on while deciding what to order. (Check out the menu photos!) Must get there fresh juices! The $12 Playa Del Rey: fresh orange juice, strawberry, carrot and passionfruit -- is a tall extra-deep mug, plenty to share & more. The cornbread pancakes were my favorite! A little kick from the bits of jalapeños. Drizzle on the maple syrup. All other dishes we tried were spot on: burrito Azteca, tacos de pescado (tempura Mahi Mahi) & lox bagels. Get the plantains & especially the fruit bowl as side dishes -- worth the $4/ea upgrade. We're excited to try more of Lady Byrd's new menu items, can't wait! Plenty of open street parking. read more

If you want a mediocre restaurant to take your reservation and be somehow closed the day of your reservation, forcing your party to scramble and find an alternative after everyone's already arrived, then by all means come to Lady Byrd Cafe. Because that's exactly what happened to us. We made a reservation over the phone, even got a confirmation text, and even CALLED the day before to confirm once more. "Yep, you're all set for your party of 12" - apparently not because we showed up and the gate was locked, nobody at the restaurant, nobody answering the phone. The entire place was literally closed. So bizarre. It was a normal day, not a holiday, and we triple checked our reservation. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe there was an emergency where literally all the staff had to take the day off? But when we called the next day to see what happened - ZERO accountability, no apology, no explanation of what happened- just that "we need to update the available reservation hours on yelp". Okay?? We didn't even book with yelp. We called the restaurant directly to book and confirm lol. Avoid at all costs. Also, we've been here before- the pancakes are stale and the decorations are plastic and campy. Do better. read more

On Sunday, May 3rd, we had a family brunch at Lady Byrd in Echo Park. Earlier that morning, we took a walk around Echo Park and then went there for brunch together. I had decided to come here after seeing a video about this restaurant on social media. It looked pretty nice in the video, but after actually visiting, I honestly wondered if the video had basically been an advertisement, because I was extremely disappointed with the reality. I had made a reservation in advance, but even so, we had to stand outside by the host stand for a while before we were finally seated. A Hispanic male employee showed the four of us to our table. At first, I didn't realize there was anything wrong with the location, and the table seemed fine. But later, we realized that it was directly next to the restroom, and there was a very strong bathroom smell. My mom asked if we could move because the smell was so unpleasant, but that employee told us he couldn't change our table. Interestingly, when he first walked us to the table, he had been very friendly and had talked with us for quite a while, even asking if we were Korean and saying that he also lived in Koreatown. But later, his attitude was completely different. We explained again that the bathroom smell was too strong and that my mom couldn't eat right next to a restroom, and asked if there was any way we could move. That was when Navin, a male employee who seemed to be the manager, stepped in and moved us to another table. He was our saver that day. Thanks to him, we no longer had to deal with the unpleasant smell. Then a female employee named Patty or Pitty came over to take our order. She asked what I wanted to drink, and I simply said I would have water because I don't drink sugary drinks due to my teeth. She responded, "Oh... teeth," in a way that felt like she was making fun of me, and I was really offended by her attitude. It almost felt as if not ordering a drink was somehow a problem. I avoid sugary drinks because I try to manage my blood sugar and take good care of my teeth and overall health. A few years ago, I spent a tremendous amount of money for my teeth, so ever since then, I have tried to avoid sugary drinks as much as possible. At that point, I was already frustrated by the whole table situation, even though that issue had been resolved, and I was also very unhappy with the female employee's attitude. I suggested to my mom that we should just go somewhere else for brunch. But my mom suddenly said she was so hungry, and that if we went somewhere else, we would probably have to wait again. She wanted to just eat there because she was starving. So we decided to stay, but then we had to wait quite a while again before we could finally place our order with Navin. And honestly, Navin was our superhero that day. He was extremely kind and attentive. He brought us everything we needed, and he was so nice and helpful throughout the entire meal. He had already helped us by moving us to the table we wanted, and he continued to take great care of us. We ordered the Pancakes, French Toast, Salmon Benedict, and Bacon Burrito. Of all the dishes, I remember liking the pancakes the most. What disappointed me even more was that on social media, this place was presented as a beautiful brunch spot with a lovely atmosphere and flowers everywhere. But when I actually visited, I thought both the atmosphere and the floral decorations were underwhelming and nowhere near as impressive as they looked online. The attitude of the staff in the beginning was also pretty disappointing. The only person who was genuinely kind and helpful was Navin, and he was truly the big saver of the day. I was so unhappy with this experience that I originally wanted to give this place only one star. But because of Navin and the way he took care of us, I'm giving Lady Byrd three stars instead. read more

Lady Byrd is open! After a brief closure the restaurant is back with an evolving menu and the food is SO good! I tried the Burrito Azteca, which is grilled shrimp and carne asada with guacamole and chipotle sour cream, and a side salad from the choices (also beans/rice, country potatoes, fries and a beautiful fresh fruit bowl available for a $4 add-on). The flour tortilla was stuffed full and nicely grilled. I also tried their Playa Del Rey juice (fresh squeezed OJ, strawberry, carrot and passion fruit juice). The portion is huge! It was served in an extra-deep mug and there was plenty to share. We sat in the garden patio area where they have lots of cute little tables under tents... it was pretty quiet but the main part of the restaurant was quite lively with a Sunday brunch crowd. It's nice to have a choice depending on whether Saturday night's festivities leave you needing quiet (recovery headache) or keeping the party rolling ;) read more

Lady Byrd cafe is back open again! They've changed their menu under new management to cater towards an authentic Mexican cuisine that absolutely deserves your visit. I had a delicious Horchata Latte that was a perfect drink along with their homemade chilaquiles that were absolutely amazing. Doña and Alex were so kind to us and made the experience perfect. We always loved the location, it's very quiet and feels like you're in a cute little hideaway surrounded by plenty of beautiful greenery. Please go out and support the new menu, it deserves it. We will definitely be coming back read more

In LA dropping daughter off at her Rave and my wife wanted to come here after seeing it one day but not able to go. So we got here and luckily found a parking spot right away because it does involve street parking and we were right in front. At first we walked around to see everything because they have an area that is specifically for brunch that is quite unique and great. (See Pics) Finally we sat down, and just ordered a couple things to share. Got the Smoked Brisket Pastrami sandwich with Truffle Fries. Also got the grilled asparagus to share as well. My wife also got a Lemon Drop Martini. The martini was very good and tasty. Wife just wanted more. The Brisket Pastrami was really good. The slaw and cheese did mask the taste of the pastrami just a tad but it was so good. The asparagus were cooked to perfection. Not too soft and not too hard. Perfect snap/crunch to them. We decided we will definitely come back on a weekend early so we can sit in the other section so we can feel the vibe there eating Brunch. This little hidden oasis is perfect for a date night or lunch out with you special one. Come here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Starting with the location and ambience, I thought this place was super cute. It has a very homey vibe and felt like I was eating in a friend's backyard patio, which I loved. I was also a big fan of the floral decor. Unfortunately, the ambiance was the main plus of the experience for me. Service was pretty slow, and it took a while to locate our server once we were ready to order food. I had the Creamy Shrimp Pasta which was solid, but nothing special. The flavors were pretty simple and felt like something that could be replicated at home. The sangria was ok. Likely wouldn't order this again. read more

Brunch in an amazingly beautiful spot with friends... Wait... I mean not just brunch. Dinner too! You know SoCal has such long daylight hours, which means you have plenty of time to enjoy a full meal while soaking in the beautiful atmosphere. This elegant, floral garden-inspired restaurant is just as dreamy during the day as it is at night. Meat lovers, this steak is a must! So juicy and perfectly cooked. And you can never go wrong with a creamy pasta for dinner, right? Oh! Almost forgot... it's super close to Dodger Stadium, so it's the perfect spot to grab dinner before or after a game. Bonus point!

We went early in the morning and were seated quickly. Wasn't busy when we went and there was plenty of parking out on the street. The ambiance was very serene- very cozy garden vibes. There were a few mosquitoes flying around- nothing a little bug repellent can't fix. Food was delicious; we tried their lemon poppy pancakes, their Spanish frittata, pulled pork egg Benedict, and bacon breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious. Lovely establishment, quick service, our waitress was okay. read more

Lady Byrd Cafe - Caramel Flat White - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were seated pretty quickly, but waited 11min before being greeted by server even tho he walked past me 5x. The food was by far the worst breakfast food I've had in LA. The Spanish frittata was the best of all the dishes tried. Salad was withered and slimy. Every dish lacked seasoning and the lemon poppy pancakes tasted VERY bland and artificial. Potatoes and egg sandwich were ALSO crazy bland. The ambience was cool, i dig the garden aesthetic. If you're a foodie and well Traveled you can skip and not miss anything. read more

I've been to Lady Byrd Cafe multiple times now and it truly never disappoints. It's one of those places I keep coming back to, not just for the food but for the entire experience. The ambiance is beautiful, relaxing, and just feels like the perfect escape whether you're catching up with friends or having a slow brunch with family. It has that elevated yet comfortable vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. As for the food, everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. My go-to orders are the Luxe Plate, which is a smoked salmon bagel plate that's both fresh and satisfying, and the steak and eggs. The steak is especially memorable... perfectly cooked and packed with so much flavor. It's rare to find a spot that delivers both great food and atmosphere every single time, but Lady Byrd Cafe really does. Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots and always worth the visit. read more

Save your time and money. I had been here once before and absolutely loved their menu. I tried the lemon poppy pancakes and creamy shrimp pasta, both of which I really enjoyed. So, when I heard the restaurant had closed and recently reopened, I was excited to come back. Unfortunately, they completely changed the menu, and in my opinion, it's a major downgrade from what they used to offer. Aside from the disappointing menu changes, the overall experience was just as frustrating. There was a noticeable lack of professionalism, with servers wearing what looked like gym clothes. The restaurant itself also felt unsanitary. To make matters worse, I noticed a speck of what appeared to be blood on the napkin my cutlery was wrapped in. I honestly wish I had taken a picture because it was unacceptable. It's disappointing to see a place I previously enjoyed go downhill like this. Between the menu changes, lack of professionalism, and cleanliness concerns, I personally wouldn't return. read more

I almost didn't want to share this place... but it's just too beautiful not to. This café truly feels like a hidden forest escape in LA. The moment you walk in, it's full of greenery and cozy, magical vibes--like a little fairy garden tucked away in the city. I even brought my dog, and it made the whole experience feel even more relaxing. We ordered the lemon poppy seed pancakes, eggs benedict, and pasta, and everything was honestly so good. The presentation was beautiful, and you can tell they really care about the details. Even the tea was served in the prettiest teacups, which made the whole moment feel extra special. There's also a hidden outdoor patio area filled with flowers, and it feels like a secret spot you accidentally discovered. Perfect place to unwind, take cute photos, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely coming back especially want to see how it feels at night read more

One phrase comes to mind when I think of Lady Byrd Cafe--"hidden gem"! The ambiance makes you think of grandma's cottage meets a whimsical fairy tale garden. The floral plates and decor are a welcome comforting change from the typical neutral based interiors that have overtaken LA interiors. The waiters are adorable and warm with lots of smiles that make this a perfect spot to reenergize your soul. Ok, onto the food. I got the Lady Byrd Burger which came with two patties and fries. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to my next visit with friends! read more

While the atmosphere appears appealing for date night or brunch, the service was unsatisfactory. We tried calling for reservation and received an automated message of full inbox. Upon arrival, there was no one greeting us nor signs showing where to wait to be seated. When our host (the only server at 10 AM Saturday) finally sat us, we were not informed of shortages of specialty menu until we placed order. Then we had to check the menu again. The food arrived and tasted without uniqueness. Additionally the price for 1/2 an avocado at $4 and prices for the small servings on each plate were much higher than the quality. The pancake and frittata we chose were not common menu items, yet they didn't have much texture nor amount to enjoy. Would you pay $20 for 2 pancakes slightly mushy and not flavorful? read more

This neighborhood gem was a fantastic dining experience for our party of nine. I cannot given enough praise to this place. We dined for lunch on a Sunday. We had a reservation and our wait was not long. One could feel the energy and vibes all the way to the street. When we were brought to our table we passed by numerous really large parties. One in particular had over 30 patrons. Our seating was really comfortable. Rain was expected and we were lucky since there was no covering where we sat. Other parts of the restaurant were inside or covered. Our waiter was really great. Gave recommendations and was really patient and helpful. I ordered the Smoked Brisket Pastrami sandwich. It was a decent size, not huge and really well seasoned and flavorful. It had a tasty unique sauce, not overwhelming, with excellent presentation and served at the perfect temperature. I also ordered the Caesar Salad. It was huge, probably enough for three people (although I ate the entire dish and it was so good). My other guests ordered eight other dishes and everyone was really happy with their meals. This restaurant is nearly hidden but for a small sign. It is behind foliage except for the entrance. It really is a neighborhood place to dine but I'd recommend it to anyone within driving distance. All parking is on the residential streets and we were lucky to find a spot about 75 yards away. Other members of our group parked farther away. It's a friendly neighborhood with several other outdoor dining establishments although this restaurant felt like the best. I highly recommend dining here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

12/15/25 BE PREPARED TO WAIT. If you're looking for a cute & adorable cozy & nature bound aesthetics, this place is perfect. The food is mediocre, portions are small & the service is lacking. On a Sunday at brunch time, Hubby & I were surprised we were seated fairly quickly, about 10 minutes. Our little seating area was outdoors in our very own "cage" (goes with the Lady Byrd theme). Each group of customers have their own tent or greenhouse adorned with lights & more greenery under a canopy of trees. There's indoor seating where it has more permanent roofing where the music is louder. We appreciated that our tent was farther from the din of noise. Sometimes trying a new place for adventure can be a good thing or disappointing. Ours is the latter. It took a good 20 minutes for our server acknowledge & to take our orders. I went with the brunch special: salmon Benedict, silver dollar pancakes with blueberry and strawberry compote & French toast, Hubby ordered the bacon burrito w/o potatoes. I wanted to test their regular coffee & as per usual Hubby got the oat milk latte. Amazingly the food & drinks arrived promptly. The presentation was nice. My salmon Benedict was okay, nothing mind blowing but the pancakes were pretty tasty especially with the compote & cream. The coffee was decent & it was actually piping hot. Hubby said the burrito was delicious, the sauce was savory. The server barely stopped by, just in time to clear out dishes. For the price we paid for brunch & the portion, was not proportional. The one thing that really soured the experience was the waiting. I waited for some amount of time just to receive my receipt. With the reviews & aesthetics, I expected a phenomenal experience. Street parking is a gamble, we found one a block away. It was good for a one time thing for the experience, definitely not worth trying again. read more

We ate at Lady Byrd Cafe for a brunch date and it was such a great experience. Even though this place is famous for the greenhouses, we actually sat closer to the bar area, and the vibe was still so charming and full of that "secret garden" feel. It's located in Echo Park and just has a really cool, welcoming atmosphere. We decided to do the $33 brunch special, which is honestly a steal for how much you get. I chose the Salmon Benedict for my main the spicy hollandaise was perfect. It also came with silver dollar lemon poppyseed pancakes and French toast with honey cream and strawberries. That blueberry jam on the pancakes was delicious! My husband went with the grass-fed beef burger, which was really fresh with the Lady Byrd aioli, and we also shared the Fettuccine Alfredo. It had chicken and asparagus in a really creamy white sauce definitely glad we added that on. To drink, we had a Chai Latte and a Macchiato, which were both so refreshing. The staff was super friendly, and even sitting by the bar, we had a great view of the whole sun-drenched patio. It's a perfect spot for a slow morning date; we'll definitely be back! read more

I've had this place on my list forever and finally got a chance to come and it was so worth it. The whole restaurant is so whimsical and pretty, such a cute vibe from the moment you walk in. We came for dinner and ordered the chicken panini, bolognese pasta, truffle fries, and cheeseburger. Everything was delicious, but the cheeseburger really surprised me in the best way. So good. We also had an espresso martini and a strawberry margarita, and both were perfect, not too strong, not too sweet, just right. The ambiance is ideal for a breakfast date, dinner date, or just a chill night out. It feels cozy, romantic, and welcoming all at once. The staff was super nice and made the experience even better. Already planning our next visit. read more

Lady Byrd has been on my list for over a year. I was finally able to come out with a friend for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was a little hard to find parking on the street. I was extremely lucky to squeeze into a spot right in front. The restaurant is nestled in a residential area & kind of hard to miss. The restaurant aesthetic was boho chic. It's definitely a nice spot to bring the girls. Lots of photo ops. It was quite slow on a Sunday afternoon, we technically didn't need to make a reservation, even though we had because there was no wait. I ordered the chicken panini sandwich with fries & a strawberry margarita. The margarita had soju in it, not tequila, which was different. The cafe can only sell wine & beer, no hard liquor. My friend ordered a brunch special that came with a Benedict, lemon poppy pancakes, & French toast. My food was ok, nothing fancy. I tasted the French toast and it was very soft but I think it had a filling in it, either that, or it was raw inside. My friend seemingly enjoyed her meal. I'd come back if I were in the area. Next time, I'd probably sit on the patio under one of the canopy's or cutesy tents. read more

Came here with my friend. Its my second time here. The first visit was a few years back and it was pleasant so I was excited. We tried their Vegan menu and it was actually pretty good! Unfortunately, as a few reviews mentioned- they didn't have everything available. So we had to change our order a couple of times because the items were not available on the menu. The presentation of the food could also be better. It was far from appealing but the flavor was there so I guess I rather good and yummy food over pretty and tasteless haha. We were maybe the 3rd or 4th table there. The service was rather slow and underwhelming. The waitress was nice but they could have been a little more welcoming and the service could have been a little faster. We had the vegan burger. It was extremely delicious! And as a non-vegan I recommend it! The Vegan sausage bowl was my favorite. The flavor was exquisite and of I go back, it would be for that specific dish. We also had the kale salad. It was great but it is also something you can have elsewhere so I want that impressed by it. To drink I got to enjoy the broad-tailed which was pretty good and refreshing. Overall, I may or may not go back. I live far so unless I am in LA I wouldn't make the drive. read more

We recently visited Lady Byrd Cafe and it's honestly such a cute spot the theme and overall aesthetic are really beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. We arrived right when they opened at 9am, and unfortunately, the service was extremely slow from the start. It took a while just to receive menus, then even longer to get drinks about 30 minutes in at that point. After that, there was another delay before anyone came to take our order. Once we finally ordered, the food also took quite a long time to come out, and when it did, it wasn't hot. We were seated outside, which may have been a factor, but it's still disappointing to receive cold food. By then, we had already been there for over an hour and had an event to get to, so we didn't have time to address the issues. With a bill of $87, you do expect a certain level of efficiency and quality especially since part of dining out is paying for the convenience and service. Overall, it's a lovely place with great potential, but the timing and food quality really need improvement. No one likes cold food or waiting to get staffs attention. read more

Whoever did the interior design for this place did an incredible job! It looks like something out of a Bridgerton episode. The flower draping here is gorgeous, and would be a great spot for brunch, afternoon tea, bridal shower, etc. The downside? It looks good, but foodwise, it's very mediocre. I got the vegan salad for lunch, and they were out of hummus, so they subbed extra veggies for me which was fine. The salad itself though? Definitely not worth the $20. I will say, the impossible meatballs were pretty good! They looked like falafels, so maybe the hummus could've added a little extra note. Their menu is really your typical breakfast spot menu with some vegan options. You're paying more for the ambiance than food and service. Parking here is also street parking, but it's free so that's a plus! read more

This place is a joke especially during the week. Didn't have any of the juice options the lady who served did not want to be there she was rude and inattentive. And we asked for 2 steak and egg breakfast and was only brought one and we still didn't get our coffee that we ordered. read more

I'm really confused how this place only has 3.5 stars, I was really shocked to see it, especially with me having a wonderful experience. The Staff was nice, The food was good. Sometimes people sadly just like to find reasons to complain about anything, especially some of the other reviews about Valentine's Day that I saw. I mean, what do you expect? It's Valentine's Day and of course they're going to be busy wall-to-wall with people. This place's aesthetic is really romantic and inviting, so without a doubt people want to be here especially on certain holidays. Date night, or a brunch date is a must here and the beautiful thing about it is that their dishes are reasonably priced. $100 will go a long way here and it did for us. We came at night to enjoy everything. We enjoyed a couple of margaritas and martinis and snacked on some appetizers before dinner was served. I recommend the hummus and pita for starters and the pork and cheese croquettes. But for dinner, we enjoyed their Lady Byrd cheeseburger and creamy shrimp pasta, which really had a nice kick to it. Everything was delicious. This is one of those true hidden gem LA spots and I definitely do want to come back here for brunch next time and I look forward to it. read more

I came to Lady Byrd Cafe at 10:30am on a Thursday specifically to avoid the crowds and enjoy a nice Mother's Day brunch celebration with my daughter. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The customer service was horrible. We were told we couldn't sit in the back area with the nicer setup even though there was plenty of open seating available. It immediately made the whole experience feel unwelcoming and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, our waiter never once checked on us to ask if we needed anything. The food was mid at best, the service was crappy, and the overall vibes felt completely off. For a place that's so hyped for ambiance, the hospitality did not match at all. We definitely won't be coming back. We went down the road to super sweet tattoos and coffee and felt better about how we spend our afternoon. read more

The first thing I love about this place is the location and atmosphere. It's tucked into an area where you'd never expect to find a restaurant. The sidewalk leading up to it is lined with trees, bushes, and greenery, and once you're inside it feels like some whimsical little garden. The outdoor seating has small tables scattered throughout, and honestly it reminds me of playing in your backyard as a kid. It's one of the most unique brunch settings around. The first time I came here was several years ago when they had just opened. It was busy, the service was good, the food came out hot, and while I didn't think the food was amazing, I left with no complaints. Fast forward a few years and I came back for Father's Day with my daughters. Unfortunately, it felt like a completely different restaurant. When we arrived, there was a sign saying to wait for the host. We stood there for nearly 10 minutes and nobody ever came. I finally walked inside looking for someone. The only employee I could find was the bartender, who appeared to be doing just about everything. He was making drinks, hosting, taking orders, running food, and helping customers. To his credit, he was fantastic. Friendly, honest, hardworking, and doing his absolute best under what looked like impossible circumstances. He gets 5 stars from me. The problem wasn't him--it seemed like management. We were told they were out of multiple menu items, and it felt like the restaurant was seriously understaffed. There didn't appear to be any manager present, and the whole operation felt neglected. As for the food, it was okay. My burger was decent but nothing memorable, and the bun was a little dry. My daughter's pasta was actually pretty good--maybe a bit heavy on the cream sauce, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the lemon poppy pancakes. Unfortunately they weren't fluffy at all and were a little dry, though the lemon flavor and blueberries helped save them. The atmosphere is still beautiful, and I genuinely felt bad for the employee who was trying to keep the place running by himself. We made sure to leave him a good tip because he earned it. Overall, Lady Byrd still has the charming garden setting that made me fall in love with it years ago, but the service and overall operation seem to have declined significantly. It was honestly a little embarrassing bringing my daughters here after remembering how much better the experience used to be. Sadly, I don't see myself coming back. read more

Such a cute spot for brunch or a cozy romantic dinner. Service was friendly but slow- our server did not check up on us after our food and we had to call someone else for the check. While they seemed busy, it was no early Sunday brunch rush or dinner. They were also out of a lot of items when we went and we weren't told about one of them until after we ordered. The sandwiches we got however were yummy! read more
