Amazing food, wide variety, great service and most pleasant ambiance The owner himself seated us and and gave us most individual attention read more

Really enjoyed the tomato and rice soup! I think rice and soup sort of belong together, and that soup made me believe it! Not everything on the menu was for me, but I can tell the owners and cooks put a lot of effort and love into what they prepare. Restaurant was clean and tended to. Iced latte recipe could use a little TLC though... read more

Ordered large order for delivery. Order included 3 bagel lox sandwiches. Pico Cafe failed to put lox in all 3 sandwiches. I had people over and they were munching on bagels with cream cheese lettuce and tomato with no lox ( sandwiches called lox bagels ). What an embarrassment!!! It's like eating omelette with no eggs. Delivery with UBER eats was great and thanks to them we were able to receive some credit, but the experience was ruined by someone at pico cafe simply not doing their job I've been eating at this cafe for a long time and this issue showed me that there maybe time to say goodbye forever read more

1,000/10 MOST RECOMMENDED!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere at Pico Café felt warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind -- you can feel how much they care about every customer. The owner himself came by to check on us and even surprised our table with a complimentary dessert -- a beautiful gesture that made the experience feel so personal and special. The food was beyond delicious -- everything tasted unbelievably fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. Each dish came out so quickly, perfectly plated, and steaming hot, like it was made just for us. You can really taste the quality and the love that goes into every bite. And that dessert -- rich, decadent, and absolutely divine -- was the perfect finale to an already flawless meal. Pico Café is a gem -- a place that not only serves incredible food but also radiates warmth, generosity, and true hospitality. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been coming to Pico Cafe since 2012 and still love them!! My family! Loveeee the owners, managers and chefs! You can taste the love in the food! My family's first favorite were their falafels, very flavorful, authentic and fulfilling. My dad loves their soups and I've tried their pizza, veggie burger and pastas! The veggie burger is #1 for our family! A real meal because it's a double patty veggie burger and comes with fries! Great price for a great meal! The food here has always been consistently delicious! Never had a lack of quality, never have been disappointed! Always 5 Star Service and Food! Dining in is always a pleasure also when we have time to sit and enjoy our meal. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood. Wishing Pico Cafe many more years of success and delicious food! read more

Incredibly kind and friendly owner. Food came out quickly and was delicious. The seating is comfortable and spacious.

Worst place ever. Over priced regular coffee and bad service. First the lady helps the people behind me, then tries to help another table and leave me the one one standing at the counter. Yes, there was only 2 people in line. Oh, and it's a extra 40 cents for using your card. Save your time and pick another business. read more

Pico Cafe - Horrible coffee and service. I won't be returning. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were just there today and the food was fresh and delicious! The portion size was generous and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Unbelievably slow service, people who came after us got their food faster than we, and I only ordered bagel with tuna. Not sure if they had to boil the bagel first or what. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. On the top of that they will charge 18% service charge for orders over 40$, no matter if you had to wait one hour for one tuna bagel. Unbelievable. I'm sorry, I didn't have a good impression even through waitress was nice and tried to make our experience better but unfortunately I had really bad time at this restaurant and I didn't enjoy the meal when it arrived I already lost appetite and was very frustrated and sad about it. I never got this frustrated at any restaurant yet and I had bad luck to visit some bad places already. This topped everything. Hope they can at least please another customers. I had really bad experience. Bagel with tuna was plain taste and so as the Israeli salad. It was just plainly chopped up cucumbers and tomatoes with onion, I didn't even notice splash of lemon juice in it. My boyfriend ordered fruit side salad, he did not received it, so we reminded the waitress, she said okay and guess what... He never get it of course I'm very sad about this. My Sunday brunches usually be splendid but this time I had to eat bread & butter what was the only good thing at this place, the butter.... Very disappointing. But no matter what, I took the salad home so I can season it and finish it, since it's not good to waste food, even the bad one lol. read more

We ordered take out. Ordering over the phone was so easy. The manager was very helpful and nice. Food was ready quickly and tasted great! We ordered the avocado sandwich and pink pasta which we all enjoyed! And their strawberry smoothie is always a hit! read more

Pico Cafe - Hearts of palm salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pico Cafe is your basic diner with wholesome food. The salads are amazing (I usually get the quinoa salad with grilled vegetables and I love it) and they a great range of other foods as well. I find the staff to be friendly and efficient and the service is great too. I come here often and look forward to continuing to do so. read more

Horrible place. I ordered an avocado panini, they served me a bagel with a touch of avocado and cheese, $18. Orange juice $10. Absolutely ridiculous! I'm NEVER going back. read more

1. Kind of a strange menu. Could be good, or not... 2. I ordered lox on an onion bagel. I got a sandwich on an onion Kaiser roll with one very thin slice of lox and plenty of tomato and lettuce. I got a bowl of French onion soup as well. The soup had melted mozzarella in it, but no bread. It was not bad. The sandwich wasn't bad either, but it was not what I ordered. The bill, including a cup of tea was $29.00. I felt kind of ripped off. I was going to leave a small tip, as there really was no service, but the presumed owner ignored my request to change a $5.00 bill, so I left. 3. I spoke with my wife on the phone and found out that she had virtually the same experience! I cannot recommend patronizing this establishment. read more

Decided to go back to this place a few years after having long wait experiences. So the food was ok, I could have done a better breakfast at home. However, when bit into my hash browns I felt a pebble or sand of some sort. I immediately felt a crack and tons of pain in my teeth and went outside bc I could not sit. Almost threw up. Looks like they did wash the plate or the potatoes properly. Never going back again read more

I took my 90 year old mother there for lunch today. The handicapped spot was extremely difficult to park in because there was a Toyota Highlander License Plate number 8HPT354 partially blocking the handicapped space. I managed with difficulty to maneuver around it to park. Additionally, there was another car parked in the adjacent spot where the handicapped person is supposed to have easy access. When we were ready to leave, I was very uncomfortable backing out. I asked inside for the owner to move it. It turns out it was the owner of the restaurant and he adamantly refused to do so. I've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years, but never again. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

We hosted a Sheba beach's here and it was wonderful. Food is mostly breakfast brunch, great lattes and free wifi Internet connection. It's low key and casual and the foo is good. Parking not so great. read more

Worst food (got sick) , only topped by worst service, only topped by most and nastiest owner. For 5 people, food was served at 3 separate times. Fifth person got their food after we reminded the waitress we were still waiting for the food and she said the kitchen forgot our order so they just started to make it. So the fifth person finally got their food when everyone else was almost done eating. When I told the owner about the lack of service, and how unhappy we were, he was totally non-sympathetic and rude. Never going back there again. read more

I will not go to a restaurant that has a callous attitude towards people's health. Posting a sign Saying they are only requiring masks because they are required by law to do so (I heard they were fined for not requiring masks) and don't agree with the mask requirement shows me they don't care about my health and makes me question whether they employ adequate safeguards. read more

Breakfast is consistently good, but sometimes is served cold and without all the sides that were supposed to come with the meal. I've experienced very bad customer service, in which the owner and servers rudely told us to move from our table without a reason. The kosher dairy restaurants in the Pico-Robertson are limited, and Pico Cafe has abused this advantage. read more

My burrito was loaded with overcooked eggs and unseasoned potatoes. No cheese even though it says it was supposed to have cheese. It was the worse breakfast burrito I have ever tasted. Cost me almost $20. read more

I had breakfast there with my family on Sunday and the only thing worse than the food and the service is the diarrhea you get after you visit this fine establishment. I'm giving it one star cause the French Fries were passable. read more

Idiots. Just bunch of illiterate people work here. The bagle is not bagel is bread the onion soup is the most disgusting item in the menu. Maybe they need a recipe for thank. French onion soup is with bread toasted croutons to top of the soup and cheese on top of that and then you broil it. THAT EASY. Never mind I didn't get the soda I ordered, never mind that they almost kill me when i asked specific item to be removed from my food and they brought it anyway and when I complained they took it away and brought me "ANOTHER ONE" exactely 4 seconds after. Ya the took it out like I couldn't done it i hate when they think everyone is stupid like them. Luckily with one bite only i found piece of tomato which I extremely allergic to. Dont go to pico cafe if you are starving. read more

I think I enjoy the idea of pico cafe more than the actual experience of dinning at pico cafe. The food is affordable, they have a large variety of dishes to choose from on the menu, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and happen to be walking distance from me. However, this is more of an illusion. The restaurant is normally dirty, I've been sat at tables and had to request they clean them more than once. The food is normally a let down, today I got a grilled vegetable salad with goat cheese and a Greek bagel. The grilled veggies were cold, they didn't bring out the garlic toast the salad comes with, and the Greek bagel was a sad thin mess at room temperature. The service is an issue as well. Most servers will argue with small accommodations such as a different cheese, or avocado on the side. The servers are hard to find, you will most likely have to go in and get your server when you need to order, or get your check. Because they are a kosher restaurant, in a neighborhood where the majority of people keep kosher they get business. This place is great for picky eaters, or to accommodate a larger party. If this were a non kosher cafe they wouldn't have business at all. There isn't much appeal to a place that is dirty, has poor service, and below average food. Why do I keep going back? Only because of friends in the area who want something simple like soup, or coffee mid day. Both my company and I normally agree that eating there was a poor decision. Yet we are clearly masochist and continue to dine there again. Pico Cafe, please change this, so I can change my review and rave about your improvements. I want to like your establishment!! read more

Pico Cafe - Front counter. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great coffee and really friendly staff. Best to get there early as it gets crazy in the super busy season.

Good food. The atmosphere is OK. I love their Shamshiri Soltani beef.

The food here is good, I'd recommend a pizza or pasta or pancakes. The service really varies here, sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad. Typically the cups are not washed very well same with utensils. When the owner is around the service is a lot better- Come in here expecting to take your time. It's a good place overall, but I couldn't feel good about giving them more than 3 stars. I recommend the Greek sub read more

I have now been here 5 times (I know shame on me). Every single time I'm here it takes a minimum of 10 minutes just to get asked if I'd like anything to drink. I finally get to order it comes out wrong, if this was a one time occurrence that would be fine. Unfortunately out of the 5 times it's happened 3 times. During those three times I had to send it back at least twice. Finally the food comes out. It's edible but not much better and extremely expensive for what you're getting. I think I have finally learnt my lesson and I will not be back. Ps. The new seating system is horrific! read more

The worst service I have received in a restaurant. First we were told not to move our chairs because they will scratch the tile floor. Then it took them 40 min just to bring half our order while half the table was sitting and eating the other half had to watch them eat for another 20 min. While asking them few times about our food they just kept being rude, not caring and ignoring us. read more

Do not come or order from this place! Our company placed a catering order and I ordered a margherita pizza. When I opened the box I was completely shocked. No mozzarella, no tomatoes nor basil. I got a plain greasy cheese pizza. And the taste is so bad. I took one bite and threw the entire box away. read more

BEWARE!!! CON: -Horrible service! By far the worst experience I ever had a restaurant in my ENTIRE life was here. Despite calling in advance to make a reservation (they said just come in) and to verify I cannot bring pets in, the owner irrationally made me locate to a different table AFTER I sat down and got myself situated. There were absolutely NO customers there but he still wanted the table I was at to be available for other guests. I later found out no on else was showing up. A brief psychoanalysis of him suggested OCD and over-controlling behavior. -Owner is rude, grumpy, disrespectful, condescending, egotistic and discriminatory. Pro: -They sell food. I don't suggest anyone coming here. After being disrespected and treated as if the store was doing me a favor for coming and potentially bringing a party of 6, I straight out told the owner he was never going to get business from me then or ever. I left. Texted everyone planning to come to the restaurant with me to meet at another restaurant. Honestly, there are so many great restaurants in the area. 5 on that same block. There is absolutely no need to go to a restaurant hoping to be fed peacefully and respectfully to only leave feeling infuriated. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. read more

The food here is alright, but any variation on your order doesn't seem to compute: I ordered a Shakshooka, and asked for fruit on the side instead of a salad. When they brought it over, I had a salad on the side. My girlfriend ordered the Waffle with ice cream, but asked them to hold the chocolate sauce. When it got to the table, it had chocolate sauce on it. We ordered her sister some eggs and toast - to go. It showed up on a plate. So if you don't want exactly what's on the menu, don't order it. I think the waiters have ADD and space out before you finish your sentence. And the Shakshooka is not so good. Just an egg with runny marinara dumped on it. read more
