The meat and mushrooms were grilled and complemented nicely by an excellent Madeira sauce. Her Nina's crepe with Nutella, bananas, mango and ice-cream was completely consumed.

The French omelet had crispy bacon, smoky bell peppers, and high quality brie. I was surprised by their house salad, which had fresh mango, strawberry, a tasty house made vinaigrette, and an edible flower. Their house potatoes were also a nice surprise, crusted in Parmesan with crispy edges and soft inside. The portions were more than expected, also, which is always such a treat. The sweet canelle crepe was not too sweet, had a delicious caramelized apple compote, and came with enough whipped crème and ice-cream to last generously. Beautiful presentation, and fresh, quality ingredients. I was not expecting to find such a gem tucked away so nearby me on MLK. I highly recommend this place!

There is a small free parking lot right out front, otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Inside is large enough to dine in, but I always get it to go. They do have a pretty large menu with a lot of great options on it and I love that they have smoothies and drinks as well as food items. I have tried a few different things here, but this past order I got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and added avocado and honestly really liked it. The ciabatta bread was crispy and the the chicken was perfectly spicy and I just really enjoyed it. The dressing on the side salad was also terrific. I would recommend if you are in the area.

So knowing they're also here in West Adams with a plus point that sit down space was provided, so obviously I was giving it a go. They did have shared free parking lot with some other tenants within the complex, giving it another bonus point. Price was pretty affordable for the portion. I got their Dolce Latte and I was pleased that temperature was pretty hot just like how I fancied my hot coffee. Typically I was disappointed by the lukewarm one that I mostly had to request my drink being extra hot. This one served it just right despite I forgot to mention it when ordering. The coffee was sweetened with condensed milk and I thought it's a decent cup for being less than $7

Starting the New Year off right with intentional support of this great black-owned business is a…read moregreat step to take. I stopped by for a late breakfast/brunch with my partner and two friends. It was my first visit. We found parking easily, but it could be due to the holiday. The place itself is clean, open and has minimalist decor that lends to a welcoming vibe featuring some really cool photography on the walls. The menu is definitely pared down, but there is variety enough for various moods and tastes. I had the avocado toast minus goat cheese and a raspberry (I believe) hibiscus iced tea. The pricing is fair for an individual-owned restaurant. I didn't experience any bad service and even when the gent calling out names had to repeat mine because I wasn't sure I'd heard right, he wasn't annoyed at all. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and cool. I am not being dramatic when I say this may be the best avocado toast I've ever had. The portion was a single slice of toast, but it was loaded high with fresh, delicately arranged ingredients. It wasn't too salty, which a lot of places make the mistake of making avo toast. It along with the delicious tea was literally the best first meal of the year I could imagine. The bathroom was clean and also featured more of that same rad photography inside on the walls. All in all, a truly wonderful experience! Walking back to the car past a dude playing conga drums and others just outside enjoying the day added to a wonderfully community-based feeling. I recommend! And I will likely be pin ring people in the direction of this place if they're in LA proper for the avocado toast alone! I devoured it before taking a photo, but I will get one the next time we visit!

The food and drinks were on point, the staff were friendly, and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back to support this community cafe.

The service was friendly. The place was nice, although I did not enjoy sitting next to the bussing area. Everything that hit the table was absolutely excellent. The chicken and waffles were actually chicken tenders that were fried well with a sweetness to them. The Greek omelet plate was delicious and it loved the French Toast Banana foster. The French Toast is one thick slice? But it was plenty of food. All in all, this is worth checking out.

I ordered the F Burger, and while it looked promising, it lacked the savory flavor and seasoning I was expecting. It honestly tasted like a very basic burger with little personality. The patty had juices, but not that rich, flavorful, satisfying beefiness you expect from a good burger. It also wasn't very juicy or memorable. It's smashed and it's probably why. My wife ordered the avocado chicken sandwich, and sadly the chicken was extremely dry. It just wasn't enjoyable to eat. The fries that came with our meals were lukewarm by the time they reached the table, which added to the disappointment. Service-wise, the food also took longer than expected considering how simple the order was. Maybe they want all our order to come out at the same time? I don't know. The Smoothie "Rooty Tooty" wasn't even refreshingly cold. We actually had to order some ice. We visited on Mother's Day, so I understand places can get busy, and parking on Melrose is always hit or miss, but we still left feeling pretty disappointed with the overall experience. I'm giving 3 stars because the place itself has potential and the staff was fine, but the food quality just didn't match the expectations or pricing. Hopefully management takes feedback seriously because with some improvements in flavor, consistency, and food temperature, this place could be much better. Unfortunately for us, this may end up being both our first and last visit.
