    Pancakes are really good here
    Risa Y.

    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.

    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

    If you care about elegance and the vibe of your meal, a special date, or creating a great memory while visiting LA, you need to try out this place. This hidden gem features a garden-style setting with beautifully arranged décor and tableware, perfect for photos and lasting memories. Their smoothies are a must to pair with your favorite food.

    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.

    Lady Byrd Cafe is a literal dream! We sat on the floral patio and the whimsical garden vibe is unmatched. It's the perfect aesthetic spot for a brunch date with the girlies. What we ordered: * Breakfast Salmon Tart ( flatbread-style puff pastry) * Salmon Benedict * Chopped Salad * Side of Prosciutto * Earl Grey Tea & Cappuccino Everything was delicious and the service was great. If you're in Echo Park and want a beautiful garden atmosphere, this is the spot!

    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.

    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!

    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?

    I have been back here a few times since my first visit. It's a fabulous outdoor cafe. They've updated the decor and menus since then which is more beautiful. Honey Yogurt $12 Beautiful presentation! Loved it! Steak & Eggs $28 Served with choice of bread, blueberry jam and butter & Pamolona potatoes Smoked Brisket Pastrami $22 Thinly sliced brisket. One of my favorites! Beef Burger $23 Made with Grass fed beef. Added a sunny side egg to make it a brunch burger. Latte $7 Customer Service is wonderful!!

    Fettucini Alfredo. $24.43. Chicken breast, asparagus, white sauce & Parmesan cheese.
    Rathana K.

    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!

    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.

    Service here is fast & friendly too! Located in a neighborhood adjacent to Silverlake. There is street parking only. Bridgerton vibes!! Very pretty decor. Food was yummy too! The hummus was very good to share and the sandwiches were very well seasoned!

The café is located within an apartment complex and offers underground parking, which the coffee shop validates the first hour is only $3. Street parking is also available. You follow the café signs to an elevator, and once you arrive, you're welcomed into a moody, beautiful space. DOGS ARE ALLOWED which is awesome. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor area feels like a balcony terrace combo with a small but lovely view of the LA skyline. We sat here and our doggo enjoyed a nap in the sun. It's a great spot to work, study, or catch up with friends without feeling cramped or rushed. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. They offer a nice variety of drinks, and we ordered an iced matcha latte and a hot Madagascar vanilla latte. For pastries, we chose a guava madeleine and a cookie butter madeleine. Everything is made fresh, and they actually whisk the matcha for each drink, which really shows in the quality. Our drinks came out quickly and were delicious. I loved my matcha, and my husband really enjoyed his latte. The pastries were also great, especially the cookie butter madeleine. This café is dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus.

They only validate for 30 minutes, which honestly feels short given the setup. The vibes are immaculate though. Excellent music selection and sound quality -- it made the space really easy to focus in (unless you hate music). That alone elevated the experience a lot for me. I went on a Monday around 5 PM and they had no food available, which was disappointing because the kimchi fried rice sounded amazing. I ordered the matcha, and it was genuinely excellent. The foam had a slight saltiness to it that paired really well with the drink, and the matcha itself tasted high quality. I wouldn't change anything about it. My drink came out to around $9 including tip. Overall, I really liked this place and would probably come here often if I lived nearby. Between the expensive parking, limited outlet-to-seat ratio, and lack of food during my visit, I'd give it a solid 4/5.

It was really interesting that one of the Americanos was made with Ecuador Los 4 Mundos beans, and the other was made with Colombia El Diviso.

However, the chairs were quite uncomfortable to sit in, and the Vanilla Latte was still pretty sweet even though I ordered it "less sweet."

But when I finished my coffee and was heading out, I totally forgot and accidentally threw the cup of treats away along with the empty coffee cups. OMG.

And as for cats, there's a stray that I've been feeding every single morning on my way to work for over 4-5 years now. She currently lives at the Buddhist temple I attend. Every day when I go, she follows me around everywhere. She absolutely loves it when I scratch her back with a brush, and when I'm done and try to leave, she taps my foot to tell me to scratch more! It's just so totally cute and lovable. It's a completely white cat, and so incredibly pretty.)

There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own!
