Lamalo - Crumbs and whiskers! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First kosher dining experience! Heard of this new brunch spot in the area and came with my friends to check it out. Everything was delicious but the highlight was definitely the pastries for me! Every pastry we tried was amazing. The croissants were light, airy, and flakey! Parking: there are meters and street parkings available in the neighborhood. read more

Incredibly generous portions in a cozy spot. Seating is very limited but the staff do a good job keeping the tables turning. Came here for lunch with my mom. She got a Cesar salad and I got the penne pasta with pesto. Portions very generous in 2025 for the price and the soup and pasta came along with a large side of bread. Will come back for breakfast and lunch! read more

I recently went here for brunch with a party of seven and had a great experience! Despite Lamalo not taking reservations, we were able to get a table as soon as most of our group arrived. We had great service throughout our meal. The portion sizes and the prices (especially for a kosher restaurant) were both good. I shared a banana date smoothie, the morning glory sandwich, and the boureka sandwich. The banana date smoothie was outstanding-flavorful, rich, creamy, with a good banana/data ratio. The boureka sandwich was fine but nothing noteworthy. The morning glory sandwich was fantastic, with delicious crusty bread and the onion jam bringing the sandwich together. I would recommend Lamalo for a nice brunch, kosher or otherwise! read more

As someone who does not keep kosher, it's normally hard for me to say I actually like a kosher restaurant... but Lamalo is one of my favorite local gems! Depending on how busy they are, you are either sat at a table and they take your order, or you order at the counter and seat yourself. I have been in both instances. My go to order is the sunshine b'boker. It's so much food that if I eat it for breakfast, I don't eat again until dinner. I also tasted the grilled cheese and Mac and cheese. (Are you sensing a theme here? ) both were also delish. The house bread is to die for. The saddest part about this is that you can't buy a loaf of the house bread to take home. We love coming here! read more

Lamalo - Grilled cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had brunch with two of my adult daughters. Wow. Is this place great. We had an avocado sandwich with eggs (sunny side up, per my request), breakfast burrito, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and a sunshine B boker. Each one was tasty. The burrito came with a spicy verde sauce served separately, so you can add to your needs. The tomato sauce has something special - not sure what it was, but it was darn good. Best brunch I've had in decades. Service was superb (Attentive without being obsequious), and the vibe is relaxed and comfortable. read more

On par with "Mensch bakery", all breads, pastries and baked good are the best you can find in LA. Nice spot for delicious breakfasts.

Really cute place on an unassuming corner of Pico near Robertson. Tables inside and a few on the sidewalk. Nice ambience. Sweet wait staff. We had some delicious dishes. Salad with feta, olives, plus tahini was huge and fresh. All ingredients were chopped nicely. Companions had a breakfast "burrito"-an interpretation of a burrito- very light and more like a wrap. This place is Kosher so do the math. Another dish was miso salmon- a beautiful dish and also very tasty and fresh. Other offerings to try next time for me are the Quiche and the grilled cheese and tomato soup- that might have to wait for cooler weather. A cute little lunch venue. read more

Just tried this amazing restaurant and bakery this morning. I'm so glad we did. The friendliest staff made our breakfast so enjoyable. The food was amazing. The bread is a real standout. We got the morning glory focaccia and the egg and cheese croissant. We will definitely be back. Their cookies are incredible, too! We go to a lot of places near Pico/Robertson and the beautiful interior and amazing food here will make us regulars at this place from now on. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Delicious healthy food. Great service. The owner is there and makes sure everyone is happy

First time here, and the food is great. As a caveat I walked in knowing the cafe specializes in kosher style food. Although my diet doesn't require kosher, I wanted to try something new. Walking in it was busy, but the service is quick and excellent and the food came out in a timely manner. The place is clean and ambiance is pleasant. I was also pleased with the prices. LA cafe's feel hugely overpriced lately, and this place was fairly priced. I ordered the salmon burger, and vanilla latte. The salmon burger was solid and the salad and potatoes it came with were great. The latte was flavorful while not being too sweet. I was gifted a blueberry pie by the manager or owner unprompted which was a pleasant surprise. One of the best pies I've ever had. The bottom was moist while the top kept a nice crunch. As well as the berries complementing it all together. While free food doesn't sway my review, it showed me that the management is active in take care of guests. I'll be coming back! read more

I ordered here for a 13 person lunch at the request of the office. I arrived to pick up and the wait was a bit long. I didn't mind because the restaurant ambience is nice and the staff, very attentive. I even further didn't mind when I tasted the salmon. It was absolutely delicious! The plate I tried is called "Miso Crispy salmon Salad Bowl." It was sort of confusing and a let down, or so I thought. BUT WOW! The mango with a cabbage salad, perfect rice and avocado all worked together to support the amazingly prepared crispy salmon. Just sweet enough to accent the salmon- it was a huge hit with me. 10/10 Thank you LAMALO cooks, you are true culinary artisans! read more

Amazing catering experience. Beautiful design, great salads, amazing bagels, and good pastas. Overall, the selection was a 10 out of 10.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Street parking available at this casual kosher (dairy) eatery with indoor and outdoor seating. Pricing and portions are as expected. Food is delicious; hard to go wrong with any order. read more

Waited at a table for friends to arrive - ordered a late which was brought to the table in .about 10 minutes. Server just put the cup down on my table without napkins spoon saucer .nothing. I had to requestall of the above . Latte was good . my party arrived and we all ordered. 3/4 entrees were served all together. the 4th hadnt arrived for a long while at which point the guest inquired about it. It finally arrived as the other 3 were halfway through theirs! This exact same scenario played out the first time i ate there. As the sun was setting our table was in full sun/ glare. Servers did not draw the shades we had to do it ourselves!! Food overall was good not amazing. service was not either amazing. Thier sister reataurant cafe Menches is a 5 Star. Sadly this one a 3. read more

Lamalo - thisis how they served a $6 latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I wish I could give this place a 5 star rating but it just lacks the umph to get there. It's a fun brunch place with cute inside vibes but a few minor things to improve: - The kale in a kale salad needs more massaging - I don't want to eat kale that hasn't had its tender love and care - The lasagna is really good but is a little small. Everyone knows that kosher foodies need their portions large - What's the deal with no wifi? We're in the 21st century. - My wife says the pastries are bomb though Overall, lovely place - some dishes are amazing and some are just okay. They could do with putting a sign outside their front door with their name. The secrets out. read more

Food was excellent and service was pretty good! The restaurant is always packed with people. An amazing kosher breakfast spot for LA! Highly recommend read more

Perhaps a Sunday morning is not the best time to come to this place, but it was very disorganised and unfriendly. Literally zero service as I came in. I started queuing for what looked like take away. When I asked if I can sit down and order I was directed to a table. Then it took ages for someone to give me a menu. When I tried to order something, first the guy said he will get someone to take the order, then he came back and said I have to queue up to order at the bar. I could have been queuing up all this time I was waiting to order. So I walked out. The food did not look particularly appetising. I am not sure why this place is so highly rated. read more

Amazing food made by a kitchen staff that clearly cares about what they make. Excellent dishes, love the salad, and the desserts (best cookie I've had at a cafe!). It's an excellent place to enjoy a good meal. The ambiance is perfect for lunch dates! read more

Lamalo - a table with a basket of flowers on it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This attractive restaurant is very busy, but if you can get a table, it's delightful. Get the miso salmon plate and then have a slice of the cream-filled babka with a cup of coffee. You will thank me. The staff is friendly, and I'm impressed because they fixed a couple things that annoyed patrons when they first opened (the ordering procedure and lack of coffee). My favorite seats are the ones just inside, where you are looking out on the side street at patrons at sidewalk tables. For some reason, that does something to enhance the ambiance. ;) read more

so delicious !! good service !! love this place !! very recommended It's so good that it's always busy.I wish you could be more bigger pl

Hands down this spot is the best kosher breakfast in town. So glad that somebody finally invested in a descent establishment with a good and yummy selection. Keep it up please. read more

What on earth!!!! LITERALLY THE BEST BREAKFAST SPOT ON PICO! Holy moly. I have literally tried everything on the menu.

Oh and the "Israeli" cheesecake is heaven on earth. read more

This may the best lunch place on Pico. Very cute and very clean. Big portions ...agree the the kale needs massaging. Nice staff, slowish.

I had the quiche which was delicious. It could've been warmer, but it was fine. I had a cup of the mushroom barley soup, which I did not care for it. Too much barley in it, at least portion I received. My friend loved her avocado toast. I would definitely go back and be somewhat discriminating about what I would choose, but I would definitely choose the quiche again read more

Lamalo catered a breakfast event for us for 40 ppl - everything was so delicious and all the guests enjoyed it - they kept asking where we ordered the food from. The owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. 100% recommend Lamalo to cater your event -- or go visit the restaurant for a bite! Also, the restaurant is beautifully designed - a great place for a date or a meetup. read more

Omelette with roasted potatoes is so yummy. Been waiting to try the breakfast burrito, will have to come back.
