    Chicken sausage biscuit breakfast sandwich
    Patrick R.

    Honestly 100% amazing! I am happy that I was able To find this place when googling "food"! This place has clean quality food and I work 5 minutes down the street from the place! Everyone was friendly and offered to help while I was looking over the menu. The menu had a lot to choose from and everything looked delicious. I'll def go back and try more things out. This is what LA needs! Great spot, great vibes and music.

    Menu as of May 2026

    Service and food was amazing!!! Didn't take any pictures b/c the food was so good I ate it before I could remember.The vibes indoor and out are awesome too!!! Cool waiters too

    El Nuevo Burrito

    Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambience 8/10 - lots of flies and bees outside Take a look at that orange yolk! Not o my was the food well made and delicious, they use high end ingredients. Loved the breakfast burrito and highly touted Mamaliga-very rich and savory. The folks there are welcoming ,knowledgeable and solicitous. We sat outside because of the nice weather but the flies and bees immediately took notice and were constant companions throughout the meal. It didn't seem like anyone else minded so we just fanned them away but next time I'll be siting inside! I will be back!!

    Such a great place go for breakfast or lunch! The food here is excellent. Sitting outside is very pleasant. The servers are kind and thoughtful. And the baked goods are excellent. I lived in Romania from 1998 to 2000, and this is a Californian-style Romanian cuisine and it's great.

    Where do I even start! Another great find in this area that I never knew even existed and I'm so glad he found it. When we drove up, I literally said oh my gosh, this place looks so cute!... And then I got even more excited that they had a huge parking lot lol! We ordered French toast and a biscuit sandwich and had a bottle of champagne and pineapple juice and enjoyed our mimosas under a shaded patio. Their food was pretty good. The sandwich had perfectly runny egg on top of perfectly cooked patty. The French toast was just the right sweetness with fresh fruits. It was pretty darn good. Definitely enjoyed this place and I'm sure we'll be back again. Happy eating!

    Salmon and eggs
    Marshay D.

    First time here and the motive behind the two stars is the food! I ordered the salmon and eggs and none of my food had flavor. Also, my salmon was overcooked. The drinks I ordered was red sangria and hazelnut latte and they were not that good in my opinion. The sangria could have gave a little more sweet to it, and the latte was not that great. Their salt and pepper was only in the tiny paper packs that are on the plastic Togo utensils, which made out party question why they do that. !?? Hmmmm.... However, our server mason was good and funny. This made the experience better because he was the only one who had such a good personality out of the crew. It was 10 of us and we sat outside near a bush and that was annoying. My friend who did the reservations asked for inside, but once we got there they sat us outside anyways. The ambiance is just decent. Outside is not great, but inside is more live and better ambiance. It is small inside but better ambiance than outside. It's a lot of parking in the lot, so that was a plus. In a nutshell, I just think the food could have been made better and much more flavor.

    El Nuevo Burrito

    Hidden in a parking lot plaza, this little breakfast place shines bright with its yellow exterior. Plenty of seating inside and out. Loved the vibes here. Service was great if you enjoy a relaxing place to be. My friend and I came here for breakfast on a Monday morning. She got the Turkish eggs and I got the breakfast burrito. The burrito has these crispy potato's that was such a great addition. Both were yummy! They also have a spicy sauce on the side - mango habanero that I loved. Overall, great place to meet with a friend to catch up and food is decent for the price. It's a little bit of a mix between American and Mexican flavors. Almost like a testament to the area it's located in.

    Breakfast burrito, Tres Leches French Toast
    Linda S.

    What a fun and cute little restaurant in a plaza! We went on a Saturday morning and sat outside! The server Mason was sooooo amazing and sweet! (The women servers were not in a good mood but we were happy with our server). I got the breakfast burrito with bacon on the side. We shared the tres leches French toast, which was exceptional! Their vanilla lattes were on point too! Overall a great experience!

    How's the wait on a Sunday morning?

    10 to 20 mins max usually unless it's Mother's day or a big brunch weekend

    Did they stop serving both the polenta cakes AND plachintas?

    Yup! It's ridiculous. Two best things...

I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

With things like goat curry and gluten free options, you gotta have rice. Second, they ran out of goat curry. I came all the way from San Diego to try it. Oh well. Excuse to come back. I loved every bite I tried. There was nothing that disappointed. The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.
