Coffee

I stumbled upon this place while waiting for my car to be washed and I was pleasantly surprised! First, the outdoor patio is adorable. The fresh flowers, cafe tables and chairs really transports you out of LA for a bit (just pretend you don't hear the traffic on Ventura Blvd). The cafe inside is small and I was originally sad I had to sit on the patio because it was a little chilly, but once I sat down I immediately felt immersed in the French environment they created. It was a perfect spot for reading a book with a cup of coffee! Second, the service was great. They were really knowledgeable with the menu and had quite a few recommendations when I wasn't sure what to order. The menu is pretty big, but they didn't make it intimidating. I also didn't have to wait too long (there was only one other group in the cafe and they already had their food). I got my coffee, which was fantastic, and my food only took about 5 minutes to get to me. There is a sign that says it can take up to 40 minutes to get food during peak hours- so beware! (I'm assuming their kitchen isn't crazy big, which is why it takes awhile) Third, I thought the food was great! The portion sizes are, in my opinion, huge. I ordered the Crepe A L'oeuf as recommended as a breakfast crepe and it was very tasty! Overall, I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this cafe for a lunch date, catching up with friends, or just to relax and have a cup of coffee.

Cute little quaint cafe on Ventura Blvd.... Another spot on the Blvd that was an amazing experience. We notice it while driving around trying to find a brunch spot. We noticed the umbrellas and tables first. It's a cute little French bistro cafe that offered good food. There's a couple of seat inside but majority of the seating is outside. Perfect for an afternoon of people watching and grabbing a nice meal. Potted plants offered that nice bistro vibe. There's also plenty of desserts that was offered as well as a little shop. Trinkets and such was offered. Pretty good place that we stumbled upon. Everything is made there to order. Food was great as well as service.

Plants matter more than the patrons. I stopped by this cafe on a whim. The outdoor patio has an abundance of plants, which makes the cafe warm and inviting. The inside is cozy, so taking your order to go or eating outside are better options. They have a bunch of knick knacks and hats, presumably to give off a french vibe. I kept it simple and ordered La Tomate Omelette that comes with salad and fresh bread. The salad was light and refreshing, while the french omelette was overcooked. It reminded me of a dry diner omelette, only worst because it was thin. It was nice that they give a fresh loaf of bread, but not something I want.

Cute cafe on Ventura Blvd with not so cute customer service. I have been here twice and both times had a very unfriendly service from the employees. My first time here I came in with a friend for cappuccinos and crepes. Both were delicious and we loved it. We got the Nutella crepe and added bananas and strawberries. DELISH!!!! The second time I came in for breakfast with my husband and was very disappointed with the food we got. It was tasteless and the baguette we got with our omelette looked pale and not appetizing. It's a French cafe you would think they would serve a good baguette. So we ordered another crepe since we didn't finish our Omellete and egg salad tartine. I might give this place another try and order something else next time and hopefully meet a friendly team member.

If you're looking for a small, cute place, this is it. If you're looking for superb customer service and delicious pastries, this is not it. When I walked in there were several employees working diligently, which I respect, but a simple "Hi, welcome" would've been nice. Instead, I stood there waiting for a few minutes while being completely ignored. I ordered a pudding that looked to die for. They heated it up and served it in this cute little plate so I was really excited to try it, but when I took a bite I wasn't too impressed. It had good texture but not much flavor. Not terrible, but not memorable either. I didn't try their other food so I can only speak on this one pastry. I would've loved to come back and try other stuff but I just did not feel welcomed.

Omlette & Savory Crepe

Great food, superb vibes, quaint and cute. Love coming here for a latte or a brunch type situation. Great service super nice employees. Music is always great too. My friend loved her chai latte and I was obsessed with my latte too. My friend had and Omelet and I had a crepe. 10/10

I've never seen so many rude people in one place. One of the eggs in my food was clearly not fresh and spoiled. I tried to explain to them it didn't look or smelled fresh and the manager looked at me in the face and said: "I don't know what you want me to do". Never offered to fix the problem. I politely said, don't worry about it and gave her the plate back. She got all worked up and rudely answered: "I won't " and walked away with the plate that later was slammed against other dishes inside. I work in the restaurant business myself and I would never dare to be as rude to the customers like the 2 blonds in there were to me. If u are the owner be aware of ur servers killing your business! Have a nice day!

Great sandwiches
Darrin W.

If you're looking for a dog friendly place for lunch with delicious sandwiches, a very friendly staff, and quaint ambience, this cafe is a great place to consider. Oh - and the selection of desserts is awesome.

Veggie Omelette with Side Salad. Ingredients tasted very fresh.
LAgirl L.

I had driven by Nesmon Cafe, always thinking it looked nice so finally stopped in for a late breakfast. The sidewalk patio area is very cute, adorned with flower pots and a Frenchy theme. The menu had LOTS of items to try but we ultimately settled on the Veggie Omelette, De Chèvre (goat cheese) crepes, hot coffee and iced coffee and then the Nutella pancakes as a dessert. =) First flag - I had taken a seat at the tables while my friend was ordering - when she returned to the table, she said 'Hmm, the lady taking my order wasn't very nice.' Flag 2, I'd say it took about 20 minutes for us to get our coffee drinks. It wasn't a busy time of day, there were only three tables occupied, so 20 minutes seems kind of excessive. Both coffees were very bitter. After we added the equivalent of Scarface's infamous mound, in sugar that is, our food arrived. I thought everything looked beautiful. I took the first bite of my omelette and loved it. The ingredients, while simple, tasted light and super fresh. I enjoyed the pairing of the omelette with a salad too, it cut through the heaviness of the eggs. Topped it off with some hot sauce and I was happy. My friend on the other hand was not a fan of her crepes. She said they tasted very bland and that the crepes tasted doughy. I didn't try them so I'm just sharing her feedback. She had the goat cheese crepes fyi. Flag 3, the service again. Our plates sat empty on our table for a very long time before they were removed. I can understand 5, 10, 15 minutes, but I think it was more like 20. Again, it's not a big place and it wasn't busy. Eventually, the Nutella pancakes as a dessert arrived. =) Upon the first bite, I was happy again. They are not American pancakes, they look more like crepes, but I thought they tasted delicious. They were topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries and a nice drizzle of Nutella. A side note - I'm not sure if this has changed since my visit but the silverware was self serve! Yikes! Even without the pandemic, that's just plain unsanitary. All in all, I really enjoyed the food at Nesmon. It's the service that's lacking. Not just slow service but no effort to smile nor thank patrons for coming in. This was my first time trying them and I still haven't returned just because of that aspect. HOWEVER, the food is on point in my opinion. So if you can ignore less-than-stellar service, give em a try.

I have one complaint and it honestly put a bad taste in my mouth to the point that I am not giving it the full amount of stars. The first person you meet when you walk into a restaurant should greet you as warmly as the owner greeted me later, but she was rushed and rude, and set a bad tone for the evening - her name is Julia and she told me that she is the manager. She was so rude, be almost walked out and never came back. But I was committed to giving a favorite neighborhood place a try again. I will be back, but I am genuinely hoping that the owners have a conversation with her about her temperament. Also, in the middle of the evening, she was the only one around, and I attempted to get her attention for a drink, and she told me in a very rude tone that she was busy and would be back in a moment. Not only did she never come back, she didn't send anyone else over either and I finally did grab the waiter. Highly recommend the mussels and steaks!

The prosciutto honey truffle chips were a great appetizer, it was the perfect mix of salty and sweet. We ordered off the lunch course meal, and you definitely get the bang for your buck with this lunch selection (only Mon-Fri 12-4pm). The boston lettuce was surprisingly appetizing despite its presentation. I ordered the steak frites at medium temp and it was perfect! The seasoning on the steak was just right; the fries were your standard shoe string but if you pair it with the garlic aoli or just swirl them in the meat juices- they're delectable. The choux chantilly was the perfect dessert, but the chocolate mousse was OK. Ordered an old fashioned, wasn't as smokey as expected but it was reasonably priced so can't complain there. The parking is sparse, you'll probably have to do valet ($17) or take your chances with the limited street parking. Overall, everything was great! Would come back for a nice lunch again.

My first visit the food was excellent! ( Croque Monsieur) and my second visit I took my wife, but…read morethe experience was not as good. The portions on the food were not worth the cost, and overall the dinner was disappointing. Our third visit (we took our travel agent to lunch) was also a disappointment. Her "Big Mec" was not what she expected as it was not a sandwich she could eat by hand, a fork and knife was required. I opted for the Croque Monsieur, as my first experience was so good! Unfortunately the sandwich as burned, and it was covered with the cheese sauce, so not readily apparent. I pointed it out tot he waiter and he offered to take it off the tab, which I should have done. This was disappointing as we were about to travel to Paris for a special anniversary, and it was nowhere near the excellent quality of food we had in Paris.

I really wanted to love this place because it is walking distance from my home, but sadly, I was…read morekind of disappointed! Its not baaaaaad, its just nothing I care to return for.. For starters, I think the pours were kind of lacking? Just feels like much smaller pours than I usually get at wine bars. The menu was pretty small, and apparently out of date because a few of the things we were interested in they didn't have that day. We also had like 3x different people serve us, so by the end of it I wasn't even sure who I should be asking for the check. My friend and I sat outside, so maybe the service would be better inside or at least at the bar, but it was just kind of... average at best. I think our waitress was new, so she wasn't really able to answer any questions, and the ones she did answer, ended up being corrected later. Which actually is TOTALLY fine, like I totally understand. But then when she brought our first wines, she accidentally knocked one over or hit it with the other glass or something (it happened fast) but it shattered one of the glasses spilling red wine everywhere, and even a drop on my white shirt!! She was suuuuuuper apologetic, and I can tell she felt bad, and we were not mad. We just kept saying that its okay and accidents happen. She did even bring me soda water for my shirt. Then, we asked if we can do the charcuterie plate with just cheese and no meats (we don't eat pork) and she said sure. She told us the number of cheeses to choose, we did, but then we got a lesser number served to us by a different waiter, and incorrect cheeses. He kindly brought one of the missing cheeses, but informed us that the lesser amount was actually the correct amount for this menu item. Okay, we would have chosen differently had we known that, but alright. Maybe I'm delusional, but between the cheese mixup and the wine spillage (and staining my white shirt), I kind of half expected a little something from them. Like comping one of the four glasses of wine, or maybe an extra little top off or something to say "hey sorry we're a mess today." I would never ASK for it, because as it was I felt bad for the girl who was new, so we just paid (and tipped of course) and left. Overall, its just nothing to write home about...

We tried a yellowfin tartare which was great. I got the pasta which was very good, and my wife got the salmon. Salmon was fresh and great, but the broccolini side was ridiculously salty. Service was very good, but my wife wanted the tartare as an entrée and our server, who was honestly lovely, suggested it wasn't large enough for an entrée. Problem was, it was a pretty substantial portion and my wife would have appreciated it as a main. I loved getting to share the tuna, but if she'd have just ordered that, and not added the salmon, I think we both would've appreciated the experience more.

5* Wine, Food, Service, and Ambiance…read more We loved our experience at this authentic, quaint, and charming wine bar, where everything, from the warm, attentive service to the quality of the food and wine, felt authentic and thoughtful.. It was truly a journey through vintage wines, complemented by an expansive collection of whites, reds, roses, and even beer. There was something for every palate and the selection made the experience feel both intimate and exploratory. What surprised me most was the quality of the food! The risotto arancini was perhaps the best I've had in a long time: crispy on the outside, perfectly creamy inside, and incredibly flavorful. The charcuterie board was another highlight, filled with delightful surprises, including marmelade jam, fava bean chips, quality cheeses, and carefully selected meatss. Every bite brought something different to the table. Overall, this is a charming spot that combines great wine, surprisingly good food and genuinly quality service.

The setup is fast-casual style, where you order at the bar and then find a seat. The staff was excellent throughout the visit. They were patient, took the time to answer questions, and did a great job explaining the different wine options. They also let us sample a few wines before deciding, which I always appreciate. I ended up ordering the Rosso Veronese. It was dry overall but had a touch more sweetness than I expected, which made it easy to drink given I'm not much of a wine connoisseur. We also benefited from a special on the wine because it had been featured at an event the previous day. The space itself was comfortable and inviting. We grabbed a spot on one of the couches, which gave the evening a more relaxed feel compared to a typical wine bar setup. Pricing is about what you'd expect for a wine-focused spot. It's not inexpensive, but it didn't feel unreasonable either, especially considering the service and atmosphere. Between the knowledgeable staff, the opportunity to sample wines, and the comfortable setting, I'd happily come back and try a few more selections.

The ambience is pretty, especially the area with the lights on the ceiling, but the overall vibe felt more lively and party-like THAN romantic. The music was house music, there was a lot going on, and some people showed up in costumes with groups of friends. If you want to spend time with your friends I say come here but don't expect the food to be good. If you saw this place from TikTok and thought it would feel like a little Disney scene it really didn't feel that way to me. My boyfriend and I waited about 15 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, even though it wasn't very busy. The staff was flexible and nice about moving us to a diff spot near the lights, which I appreciated. But we still waited a full hour for our food, and no one checked in on us until after it arrived :/ My bf ordered the $80 steak, which was a small portion and wasn't very good. He said he didn't like how the potatoes were made it was super chunky and they have it with green beans instead of asparagus if that's your preference... but we've seen juicier, larger steak at Nonna's for $20 less. As for me I ordered the pappardelle, but I didn't enjoy it. The noodles tasted doughy, and didn't like how they cut out leaf peas and fried garlic in the mixture... so we were not fans of the food. As for the housemade malawach bread it was super oily and the leafs on top were long. I mean presentation of the food was cute but not tasty or enjoyable lol. The setting is nice, but the service and food didn't live up to what we expected. For a more romantic dinner, I'd choose somewhere like Cara or Nonna's instead because this was just super disappointing for my 2 year anniversary dinner experience.
