One of my favorite spots for coffee and breakfast. Great atmosphere. Can actually have a conversation and hear the other person.

Love this place. Owner and staff couldn't be nicer. Above all, the food is fresh and delicious. One of the best grilled veggie sandwiches in town on homemade focaccia. Another wonderful sandwich is the chicken with caramelized onions and cheese. Also crave the salmon bowl which has lentil, quinoa and veggies with a pomegranate dressing. So amazing. Haven't missed yet and there's also terrific homemade desserts. read more

I live right by here and I've been here a few times. The food's always good, tastes fresh consistently, and is just well executed. It's a bit pricey, but the beautiful decor makes up for it in my mind. I highly recommend the breakfast biscuit sandwich, hearty, almost rustic biscuit, and fantastic bacon. read more

I don't know how they do it, but this place has the best Americanos in the whole city. It must be the particular beans they buy plus the machine but it's so so awesome. Great taste and fantastic energy boost. Very nice ambience for working or just catching up on some emails. The food is good too. Also- they serve their coffee in "real" cups. I can't stand the waste of the chain coffee shops! If you're in the area, IGNORE the gaudy Starbucks that just opened across the street. Twist is the much better choice!! read more

This place is delicious omg!!!! So fresh and what a great menu I love this cafe! This inside is so clean and inviting you just want to stay for hours! Cannot wait to go back to this place I loved it!! The people there are so sweet! read more

This place is so good! Definitely on par if not BETTER THAN la brea bakery. Big portions at the right price. Really good food. Cashier was friendly, food came out fast. The French fries are real thick cut potatoes. A new favorite for sure. read more

I've been here several times as I live right nearby. The food is good quality, a decent selection but not wide. I like the fresh bakery goods - among their best items. They do play cool music - unlike all the other restaurants that play modern electronica/hip-hop. However prices are day high for what it is, and I never say "wow" about any of the meals. It's a good place, decent food, quiet and clean. read more

We ended up here for brunch as the restaurant that we were planning on going to was not open yet, so this was our plan B. The space feels vast, yet comfortable. Once it is pointed out it is clear the space was once an ally way and they did a fantastic job in making it a welcoming indoor space. The food: we had a salmon plate, a salmon sandwich with kale slaw, and a jalapeno cheddar biscuit sandwich. The food was tasty and plentiful. In the future this will be our plan A. read more

My girlfriend took me here a few days ago because she said it was her favorite lunch spot to go to in the city. After eating there I can't argue with that logic. Upon entering the restaurant the first thing I noticed was how clean it was. We went up to the counter to order and the staff was so kind and courteous. I ordered the Cuban Sandwich which came with a side salad. After taking a bite I realized this place has, quite possibly, one of the best Cuban sandwiches in all of LA! Their sandwich press got the bread slightly crispy/toasted on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The pork was juicy and flavorful without being overly greasy and the salad was great as well! I will definitely be going back to this place sooner rather than later. I suggest you do the same. read more

Great neighborhood place for a nice casual breakfast/lunch, where you can catch up on e-mails with free WiFi, and be helped by awesomely friendly staff. Food is very tasty, and vibe is perfectly casual. You can sit for hours chatting or working, drinking good coffee, and nibbling on all sorts of small things like biscuits and salads, all the way up to full meals. Staff are fully five-star awesome. Friendly, funny, and very accommodating. Come a few times and they will get to know you. Salmon bowl is great. read more

One of my favorite places to have a good soul breakfast. Last month, my friend and I went around 8am. We were hesitant to go inside because it looked so run down, but you can't judge a book by its cover. It was hands down the best breakfast I have ever eaten. You will definitely get what you pay for an then some, staff is a pleasure to be around, order taken promptly, food arrives hot an drinks are kept full... read more

I live nearby and used to love picking up to go orders from this place for weekend breakfast, but it's sorta going downhill. It seems like there are different people every week and I know the menu better than they do...and even when I remind them and specifically call it out, they keep forgetting to put the dang jam in the bag so when I get home my toast is sad, and that was the thing I was most looking forward to. read more

This is my go-to cafe to work. I have not had any food here except for some pastries so I can't speak for that but the server are always friendly. It's usually nice and quiet on weekday mornings which is hard to find elsewhere. read more

Great place to bring a laptop & get some work done! A nice selection of food & drinks! Love this place.

I stayed to eat the blueberry souffle pancakes-- they tasted better after I took the leftovers home than in Twist. I had expected the pancakes to have more (smooshed) berries to make the pancake taste blueberry-ish. I was a little surprised that there were all of 7 intact berries in a circle that contributed little to the flavor the pancake while I ate at twist-- the pancake, otherwise, just tasted like a regular (non blueberry) pancake which was disappointing. However, I'd recommend that Twist use a blueberry sauce or smooshed blueberries in their pancakes (which is what I was expecting)-- when I took the leftovers home, the blueberries had time to "burst" and spread blueberry juice throughout the remaining pancake, which tasted far better. I have no complaints about service-- the person behind the cash register was nice (I actually liked paying for the pancakes upfront) and the owner made sure I was taken care of. It's quiet (no loud clattering) which was pleasant. read more

this place is a win on both service and food. i've been here a few times and have not been disappointed. first off: service is always amazing. waitresses are super friendly + helpful secondly: the food is delicious. i've had the jalapeño biscuit breakfast, the regular biscuit breakfast, and the mish mash breakfast so far and they've all been super tasty and very filling third: coffee is delicious and they offer free refills. even a refill to go if you're so inclined. read more

Twist Eatery - mish mash breakfast is incredible. both tasty + filling - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Segundo, California

Service not very good. I asked the barista to steam my milk for my tea she didn't listen to me the first time. The other girl working was wearing leggings that I could see right through. And they don't have a proper system for making tea to get you in and out. Love looseleaf tea but having some bags on the side for to go orders would be very helpful. Overly priced for a crappy drink. When into avoid the Starbucks deliberately to help support local business but I regret my decision. read more

Spring is the nicest waitress/barista ever. She's friendly and efficient. The menu has variety, but some things taste fresh and some don't.... the salmon for example is never quite right. Tastes like frozen fish for sure. The coffee is terrible but the teas are lovely. Good breakfast/treat spot... biscuits are a highlight, I think they make those fresh in house. read more

This place is so amazing! Really happy we found it! There are so many over rated packed breakfast places that end up being major disappointments. Twist is awesome, there were no seats left outside and the waitress brought a table from inside the resturant for us because we had are dog and couldn't go in. My husband ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich was amazing and I got the mash breakfast special it was delicious. I love this place! Will def. come back! Awesome fast nice service. 5 stars read more

Consistently very good. The space has an open aired industrial feel. Never gets too loud inside, and there are a couple of tables outside if you prefer. The coffees are very good. The food is even better. I strongly recommend their biscuits and any egg dish. The staff is always nice and friendly. I'll be a customer here for a long time to come. read more

Love this super cute, clean and inviting place for bkfst. Good food and friendly service!

TWIST-ED is More like it... This cafe upon first sight, oozes with a soothing comfort style, that beckons you to come on in. The set-up is clean modern industrial but with wood furnishings and open space. Nice. In the quickness test - the place, rather empty. Not a soul at the counter but myself. I order an ESPRESSO (steamed milk on the side) and an ALMOND CRIOSSANT and instead of getting my order, the young lady makes me pay first - okay, not a big deal - but as soon as I click "tip 20%" on the iPad, about 4 new customers enter. The young lady behind counter (only one btw) waits until my transaction completes... then says, "Have a seat and I will bring it to you". And, proceeds to take orders from everyone, rather than finish my ESPRESSO order. In the end she does not bring to me but rather places at the counter for me to collect... The Criossant - NOT FRESH!! STALE!!! HARD!!! Are you freekinG Kidding me?? With Labrea Bakery just down the block, Sycamore Kitchen just a few blocks to the north and Susina not too much farther along with Short CakeLA just at the Farmer's Market...???? Come ON!!! The Espresso was fine enough but certainly not worth the wait. I suggest the owners go and enjoy a real criossant at any of the places I've mentioned and get with the program... A CRIOSSANT --- The ideal crust should be distinct from the softer interior. It should be extremely flaky and shatter when torn or bitten into. It should be extremely crisp, but not crunchy or tough. Each layer of flaky pastry should virtually melt on the tongue, but not feel greasy in your hands. It should be an even, golden brown color all around. The interior should be feather-light with many layers. It should be tender and moist but not gummy or doughy. The layers of dough should show plenty of stretch and separate gently from each other when you pull at them with your fingers. The flavor of a croissant should be intensely buttery with a natural dairy sweetness. It should not taste like added sugar or be cloying. It should be well-seasoned, but not so salty that you can't imagine eating it with jam or preserves. In the end, if you're going to make the patron WAIT for something that should've taken no more than 3 minutes, it has got to be worth the wait. TWIST has got things well - TwistED. read more

Great cute casual brunch place on La brea that's a hidden gem! Go for the home made biscuits. My go to is the bacon egg cheddar biscuit with potatoes. The turkey and gravy I hear is also yummy. The only constructive criticism I can give is that the food tends to be on the saltier side, especially the potatoes. Overall the staff there is wonderful and helpful and the food is reasonably priced. It's never too crowded and I especially like the cute decor. read more

Super cute! Friendly service, delicious food, and free wifi. Great place to study. They also re-fill coffee for free :)

The food was less than mediocre at best. Service was poor. Our table was wobbly but they wouldn't let us change the table instead had one of the girl insert a napkin under one of the legs. Waiters ran into our table 3x, seating was too close for comfort. Food was dropped on the table rather than served. Very quick to take our plates. Did not feel welcome :( read more

$3.50 for drip coffee? LA is more expensive for breakfast than NYC... By a hefty margin! Sweet and airy, chill vibe. Counter service. I'm not crazy about these registers that kinda guilt one int leaving a gratuity for counter service... But they seem ubiquitous in Los Angeles. I like to tip for good table service (and to waiters who earn less in salary to begin with), but when food is expensive AND they simply drop it at your table, 15% is not warranted. Good coffee (though I prefer Peet's). I'd come back for the biscuit (though I neither saw nor tasted a jalapeño in the "jalapeño cheddar" biscuit)-- but I'd skip the 'too much for too little' coffee. read more

This great neighborhood eatery opened about 10 days ago and I've been three times! I like the bakery offerings as there are many small items for just a bit of sweet treat, and the prepared salads are outstanding...variety and a keen sense of taste balance coming from the kitchen. I've yet to try any sandwiches but look forward to that soon! read more

Just picked up lunch for the first time after a yoga class and couldn't be happier!! Ordered the raw salad which is super healthy and delicious. Great portions and very affordable. It took a little longer than expected to make my friends brisket sandwich so they offered us all drinks and gave us a free brownie. I'll definitely be back read more

I live right nearby and love this place! I rec the pulled brisket and organic grilled chicken sandwich. Surprised how on-point they are for a new place. I don't yelp often, but this place is effing yummy and I had to get the word out. read more

We had the croissant and biscuit sandwiches with potatoes. Both were great! Looking forward to trying one of the many pastries on our next visit. read more

Went to Twist for the first time last week and had a great experience. I scheduled a meeting there and it was the perfect spot. Free wifi, plenty of space to sit, quiet enough to do work or take a meeting. The food all looked delicious. Service was totally on point, very friendly and accommodating. I'd definitely go back here again. read more

Stumbled by here on our way to the lacma museum. The ambience was nice and so was the setup. The food was good. The fruit bowl was full of fresh fruits. Highly recommend this place. read more

Nice little lunch spot. Bah Minh chicken sandwich on pretzel bun was really good. Its a bit pricey though, but quality is very good. Also staff was friendly and service was attentive. read more

Had the twist burger. My girl had charbroiled chicken sandwich...both were awesome! Very healthy feeling when I left. Good prices too!

Banh Mi was good, pretzel bun was very good. Veggie omelette was standard. Went during a dead hour, very quiet & didn't feel like there was any AC going. Pretty pricey for not having a nice aesthetic. Street parking read more

Great spot with great food. The woman who probably owns the place is friendly and sweet. Most importantly the food is truly delicious and I will be back. The space is large with a lofty feel and was not too crowded. It was a weekday so I'm not sure about weekends but I'm told it's always relatively chill. Check it out! read more

I mean... the decor is nice and bright. And the salad I ordered was pretty good... but it's really really REALLY hard to mess up a salad. First off, the woman who took me and my friend's order gave us a really weird/rude vibe. Her answers were snippy and she had an attitude like she just did not want to be there at ALL. My friend's bahn mi was extremely dry. The sauce (which I believe was sriracha mayo) couldn't save it. The crowd is very... strange? Not the people themselves, of course. I'm sure everybody is wonderful. I'm just saying the mix of people is just all very different... which makes the atmosphere a little bit awkward. I'm not quite sure how to explain it... but I felt like everyone sort of felt out of place there. Or maybe it was just me. read more

I want to like this place so much... But the food is unfortunately mediocre. The eggs on breakfast sandwiches are dry and not fluffy. The orange juice definitely tastes more like sunny D than fresh squeezed OJ. The location and staff are great! I suppose a little more effort needs to go into the making of the food/drinks. read more

New place, so its still working out some kinks. Good coffee, nice owner. Gluten free options and breakfast all day. But they close at 5.

I come to Twist at least once a week for coffee since I work right around the corner. The staff is always friendly and accommodating even when its busy. They have good breakfast too! read more
