    The service, the ambiance and the food "Great". I haven't been here in years and now that I'm back on the west... I had to revisit this place. It just as I remembered and the dishes are still hitting'. Definitely a must to make a spot here if you're in LA. Vegans are welcome... you won't be disappointed. Good spot as my go to here... Live, love and laugh - Sha

    Vanilla latte

    My daughter was so excited to bring us here. She's been here a few times. We don't live close and so it's a bit of a drive but so worth it. Service was friendly. Our server was great.. When I really enjoy food, it's not just delicious, it's DA-LICIOUS! We sat outside instead of inside so I don't know what the inside looks like. It was a beautiful sunny day in LA so had to sit outside instead. We ordered the blueberry and lemon waffle breakfast, a banana nut waffle, vanilla latte. AMAZING. We also got Vegetarian omelet and chocolate waffles that were also Yummy!! Wish this place was close to us but we'll definitely return.

    Trever!!!

    This place is just AMAZING -- "diner" food that is next level. Our group had an orange creamsicle milkshake, red velvet waffles, French toast, a chicken & waffle sandwich, and a tuna melt (with waffle fries) and everything was perfect... including the service. Looking at you, Trevor and Megan! It's why this is one our favs.

    I was so excited to try a waffle spot that has GF/V option. I believe they used corn meal in their GF option because it is a corn bread texture, very crumbly. Presentation was nice and they offer half or full order. Unfortunately, did not like the texture. (Not the kind i have tried in other spots that are airy/fluffy inside, little crisp on the outside.) I also tried their house made maple sausage and it was just ok. My Hubby did enjoy his regular pancake

    Mimosa :) YUMMY

    Loved this drink ! What a treat . It's made with real espresso a total pick me up sweet drink resembling an espresso martini!! Perfect for a fun Friday

    Mimosa Flights, Breakfast Plate with Biscuits & Gravy, and Waffle Sandwich!

    The Waffle is a great location for quality brunch in Hollywood! You know how sometimes the closer you live to something, the longer it takes for you to actually end up visiting it?! This is one of those spots that I always see when walking or driving in Hollywood, and yet despite living nearby, hadn't actually gone until recently. What I found was that I have definitely been missing out!! Visiting for brunch on a Sunday afternoon, there was a bit of a wait, but still got some patio seating in nearly no time at all. I personally really enjoy the vibes here and being able to street watch/people watch from its expansive patio space, amply covered with umbrellas for shading. Service was very quick and friendly, with the mimosa flights we ordered being brought out so fast! The food itself is generously portioned and very delicious! I did a breakfast plate and upgraded the biscuit to one that's basically biscuits & gravy, which was SOOO good! The rest of the plate was very solid breakfast items. My partner loves the waffle sandwiches here and gets them for lunch sometimes - and this visit was nothing different when it came to him thoroughly enjoying it! We left in a great mood from the various mimosa flavors in the flights, the hearty plates of food that left us full AND with plenty of leftovers to finish off later that day! If you're hanging out in Hollywood and wondering where to have brunch or lunch, this is definitely the spot!

    Waffle flights - red velvet, dulce de leche and chocolate on both! Differnt - chocolate chip and lemon blueberry. Mocha coffee drinks

    I found this place online bc my husband was craving waffles during our trip. We parked on the street nearby the building. We sat outside since the weather was nice and they had umbrellas on the table. Indoor seating was packed anyways but the place was clean. We both got the waffle flights. We enjoyed the tres leches, chococolate, chocolate chip and red velvet. The size was cute, and we liked that we were able to try a variety. The waffles were soft but also had crisp edges, and were very filling. I also got the lemon blueberry but wasn't a huge fan of it. Portions were decent for the price. For drinks we both got the mocha and it was good, nothing crazy or extraordinary. Not sure if they were short staffed, but service was a bit slow. The menu has a good variety.

    Classic Malted Belgian Waffle. Slightly sweet and subtly nutty with crisp edges and a soft interior. Goes great with syrup and butter.

    Stopped by for breakfast and was seated right away (no line) on a Friday morning. However, not much time went by before noticing this place was quickly filling up... THE FOOD. - Cowboy Chili Scramble. Flavorful and mildly spiced chili went well with the scrambled eggs. The country potatoes were great with chopped bell peppers and onions for added texture. I enjoyed this breakfast meal a lot. - Three Egg Breakfast. There are several options to choose from, but we went with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausage patties, and house sausage gravy biscuit. The biscuit was completely stale, so our waitress got another one. Loved the sausage gravy's rich flavor and creamy texture! - Classic Malted Belgian Waffle. Slightly sweet and subtly nutty with crisp edges and a soft interior. Goes great with syrup and butter. THE DRINKS. - Latte. Substituted with oat milk. Rich, frothy goodness! - Coffee. Medium blend. Good. THE VIBE. Cozy in an office building, this restaurant sits on the ground floor with an outdoor dining patio. There are half booths that wrap around the restaurant's perimeter and even larger booths can seat at least 4 people, if not more. Floor to ceiling windows frame in views of the surrounding office buildings. THE PARKING. Street parking available. THE RETURN. Yep, I'd return to try out other breakfast dishes.

    Chicken and waffle
    Christina D.

    I ordered the chicken and waffle, it did not disappoint. The waffle was perfectly crispy and so was the chicken. The chicken was also super juicy. I wish the hash brown was more cooked, but I should have asked for it. A cute vibe and our food came really fast. Our server was on it with the coffee and even offered a to go cup. Loved this spot!

    Banana nut waffle
    Melissa O.

    Recently had breakfast here. Ambiance was nice- they have indoor and outdoor seating available which is nice. I ordered a banana walnut waffle and chicken sausage on the side. The waffle was good but didn't realize it was topped with a custard (I should've read the menu carefully). All good, it was great overall, I just prefer syrup. The sausage was good, too. They have a large menu, there's a variety of waffles to choose from which is nice! Service was good, all the staff was friendly

    cheese fries
    Gigi P.

    all i had were cheese fries but my waitress Megan was so wonderful! love the sit down brunch feel. Megan made sure my drink was never empty and gave above and beyond customer service!

    Breakfast

    Server was great, forgot his name but he had beard ! The food was delicious and the ambience was nice.

It definitely lives up to the hype--this place draws everyone from locals to celebrities. The menu had so many tempting options that choosing was honestly the hardest part. I went with the Breakfast Sandwich and added Truffle Parmesan Fries, my wife ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict with potatoes, and we got a waffle with whipped cream and fresh fruit for our son. Everything hit. My breakfast sandwich was incredible--the bun was soft, the ingredients were well-balanced, and the chipotle aioli really took it to another level. The Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise had a rich, flavorful finish. The waffle had that ideal texture: slightly crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We enjoyed the food so much that there was barely anything left to take home. On top of that, the staff was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only downside is parking--since there's no dedicated lot, finding street parking can take a bit of patience. Overall, we'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu.

This was a bit annoying since it wasn't explained to us, but my friend suggested we share a mole chicken taco to try one other savory hot dish. The breakfast bowl is more like a salad, really nice fresh greens, roasted cauliflower and sweet potato and a lovely poached egg. It could have been a bit more flavorful, maybe some beans to add more protein, but it was good for a break from all the heavy holiday dishes. The mole chicken was right on the edge of being dry, but the mole was tasty and the portion of meat was large. The churro waffle had just a light cinnamon dusting, I was expecting a bit more of a crunch and sweetness. The fruit topping was fresh and yummy and the whipped cream seemed fresh as well. Overall it is a cozy spot and I would go again and try other dishes on the lunch menu.

While my wife likely already knew this, I was constantly on the look for little cafes and roasteries that we could try each morning. Although that didn't happen every day, one afternoon we were in need of some caffeine and stumbled along Fika Fika and I am so happy that we did. One of my two favorite places that we stopped for coffee while on our trip, this place is deceivingly large inside, and all decorated in ceramic earth tones and white. It's actually a very calming feeling, almost like a deep breath in. The only thing that was a little bit annoying was there was no parking and street spaces were the only option. However, that seemed to be a trench of several of the areas we visited, and coming from Philly, I totally understand that obstacle of difficulty and would never hold it against them. Especially once you discover how delicious the coffee is after getting inside. When we were there it was nearly dead, which was a nice respite from the day, as we were all pretty worn out from the morning. So it provided a nice break in a quiet space where we could also get a nice hot or iced drink and stop for a few minutes. Their espresso was delicious, not overly robust and burnt as so many American-palate-focused espressos are apt to be, and felt much more after a European or Italian style of pulled shot. My cappuccino was excellent, and they even poured the shots in macchiato style over top to give that bit of different flavor profile and drinking experience. I was so impressed, I even picked up some bagged, roasted coffee for friends to gift when we arrived home, and some for myself, which I enjoyed thoroughly for a week or two after our trip had come to its conclusion. If you are in LA or passing through and need good coffee, Fika Fika should definitely be on your list of "definitely stop" places. Their mochi paws were okay, but that's not why I was there. I was there for the coffee and that's exactly what they deliver in spades. Delicious. Perfectly outed and crafted. Coffee!
