I love Twist. Fresh food and good quality and service. The biscuits are awesome and their bacon is perfectly crisp. It's a chilled out spot and you'll be happy you stopped in here. I recommend the jalapeño cheddar biscuit sandwich, which is one of their specials. Add bacon of course. Oh and for the iced tea lovers, they have stevia packets on the table. A small detail, but worth mentioning. read more

Delectable delights and super friendly service--this combo is a rarity in LA eateries...and I can definitely get used to it! Going at peak lunch hours means you'll be eating at a communal table (I still can't get used to that). I love the simple, no fuss menu, and for someone as indecisive as me, it's fairly easy to land on something yummy. I can't wait to go back for breakfast--the biscuit sandwich has been calling me all weekend! or a latte (handsome coffee!) paired with a eye-oogling tart and novel...yumm.. read more

1. They have stevia! 2. They have almond milk! 3. They have gluten free stuff that doesn't taste like sand! 4. They have strong coffee that doesn't feel like you've ingested turpentine read more

Biscuits: amazing. Cause I'm from the South and these are southern buttermilk biscuits. Croissant: good. Better than most, but better do exist in LA. Key Lime Pie: the best I've had in LA without a doubt. Kale salad: good. I don't like kale so I'm biased against it but this salad was actually good. Probably because it's cut into such thin strips. Gluten free berry muffin: looks good. Tastes good. Eat it. Cappuccino: pretty good. I get it every time. Eat here. It's good. read more

Its a small cafe, but they have good amount of options and the taste is good. I tried the breakfast biscuit sandwich which was very tasty and very affordable, the portions are the perfect size. Also liked the coffees.. They are selling blue bottle coffee as well. read more

What a cute establishment! Simple, open & inviting - you walk into an open space, tables to one side and a counter where you order. A case full of delicious treats displays many savory salads and sinful cakes and pastries. The menu was simple, a few brunch specials and a healthy variety to choose from. My boyfriend has quite the sweet tooth, but he resisted much to my surprise! We both had savory dishes; he, the tuna melt and I, the croissant egg sandwich with mixed greens. I also ordered a regular coffee (Handsome Roasters), but it was too bitter for my taste and wasn't hot enough. The croissant egg sandwich was tasty, fluffy egg and yummy cheddar cheese! His dish looked good too - an open faced sandwich jammed with tuna, melted cheese and marinated cherry tomatoes and the kale slaw on the side. The atmosphere was quite, tranquil almost and not too busy at 1pm on a Sunday. I would like to come back, try a few sweets or five. read more

I had some blueberry pancakes (good), would have like the blueberries to be softer in the pancakes and the jalapeño biscuit w potato hash. It sounded and looked better than it tasted. I wasn't expecting the jalapeño to be raw and burn my lips because the little slices had all their seeds. I was hoping for a pickled jalapeño. (Mind you my spicy tolerance is pretty high). The biscuit was yummy and buttery. It was okay, I probably won't be back as I was not wowed. read more

BEST eatery! Absolutely love their food!! Their side potatos and salad are unbelievable. All their food is FRESHLY housemade and always delicious!! Also, BEST CAPPUCINO AND LATTE I have ever had! Starbucks, Coffee Bean, who? Atmosphere is perfectly relaxing, and the staff is always friendly! The owner is so welcoming! No wonder I keep going back to this wonderful place! Their prices always amaze me! Feels like I'm stealing from them! read more

I find this place very awkward, but still I am so happy that they are open. I had the biscuit sandwich and it was huge. Probably too big and too expensive. They would have a better product if they focused on quality and not quantity and made it a couple of dollars cheaper. Should be more like a grab and go item. I like what they are doing, but feel they need a little more time to work out the kinks. Neighborhood spot so I will definitely return. read more

So clean and beautiful. They have great food and dessert. I had the burger which was amazing!! also BLT and chicken sandwich. Great place to go to grab a bite for lunch. read more

I have been meaning to write a 5 star review for quite awhile. This place is fabulous! I work down the street and am so happy to find a local place with great food and wonderful service. THE FOOD It is hearty and the portions are good. I have had the: -Pulled Pork Brisket (drool), and the horseradish- so delicious -BLT with legit bacon strip- (NOT the really thin kind that makes a mostly bread sandwich) piled with yummy veggies -Pumpkin Soup (bowl)- love the puréed approach with roared pumpkin seeds. I was a little wary when they said croutons, but do it. So good. I also got a side of toast. It doesn't look like a lot, but you will be stuffed. -Pressed Chicken sandwich with Brie. Very yummy, but hard to eat at work and look like a lady. I usually get the side of greens with balsamic. Actually, I don't even know what the other sides are bc I love the salad. Oh and speaking of salads I also had the Cesar with chicken. It was very simple, but in a welcoming way. I am not one of those salad eaters that needs a million things in it, then you look at it like, "isn't there supposed to be lettuce in this?" The Cesar is abundant with lettuce and has the perfect amount of everything else. Haven't tried their sweets yet. Hot chocolate is very good. THE INTERIOR It's very cute. Great for a casual meet up or first date. Not overly/annoyingly trendy. It could be very at home in Brooklyn. That is all. Go eat. I will. Drool. read more

Had the turkey sandwich and kale slaw. But very good. To my surprise the kale slaw was excellent and I'm not a big fan of kale. Baked goods are worth checking out as well. It's a nice neighborhood place to visit. read more

Great food, great service. The salads are amazing. Everything is fresh and well worth the wait.

The girl at the registry (blonde, maybe the owner) was rude. Not friendly at all. The food was very good but the sandwiches come on very thick pieces of bread which made it less tasty in my opinion. The "stuffing" inside the sandwich was really good. would not go back. read more

Food is quite fresh-tasting, with a complex (but not fussy) layering of flavors. For breakfast, I've had the granola and yogurt bowl, which I think would be better if they toned down the sweetness a bit. But the granola was clearly freshly made, which was nice. I just had the salmon bowl for lunch, which has quinoa, avocado, perfectly-sized bits of carrot, pineapple (delicious, trust me), and a generous helping of salmon, with a citrus sauce. A little more salt would have made it perfect. I can't recall the coffee they use, but their cappuccinos are delicious as well. Great vibe, decor, location. read more

Amazing biscuit sandwich! Crispy but doughy in middle with 2 slices of bacon, egg and cheddar. Fruit bowl was fresh and full of mango, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Handsome Roasters iced coffee was the best I have had. Highly recommended! The only thing I would suggest is to make the place a little cooler in temperature. Went at 11:00 and it didn't have that cool feeling walking in. read more

This is the worst $5 latte I've ever bought. It's sososo sweet, sickeningly sweet, that I'm feeling the onset of diabetes. I didn't request a receipt, either, but I'm not usually one to go running back for a refund, anyway. BUT, because this place is new, the location is great, the staff seemed very friendly, and the interior design was classic and clean....I'll probably be back to try it out for lunch or a tasty treat! Definitely deserves a second chance, and I'm looking forward to visiting again, sans latte! read more

I love this place. My go-to meal is the two-eggs plate + biscuit + coffee The staff here is really nice and there are two small tables outside for dog-owners. I always see Russell Simmons here. I think he goes to the yoga studio next door. read more

I think this place is really really great. They have delicious coffee and food. The staff is incredibly helpful. I am vegetarian and at first glance the menu looks pretty unfriendly. But with some simple substitutions I am eating good and healthy! I am so glad this place came to the neighborhood! read more

I've been here now several times and have loved the food each time. They have great gourmet sandwiches, a KILLER burger and fantastic cold salads, including a phenomenal brussels sprouts salad and a beet salad. Classic LA lunch spot with healthy choices and very tasteful decor. read more

Great little cafe with friendly staff, excellent music, and tasty food. I wasn't sure what to order so I checked yelp and there was a photo of the breakfast biscuit sandwich with overflowing eggs and bacon - how could I refuse. I was not disappointed. read more

Read about this in Eater and was excited when they compared Twist to my reg joint Sycamore Kitchen (SK) down the street. If you just look at the place... it's well-decorated, cute space with friendly staff. But oh the most important factor- food, was seriously lacking in flavor. My potato onion hash and the BF's biscuit gravy sandwich were shockingly bland and uninspired. Say what??!?! Twist has potential but I would consider refining the menu: hiring a true taste-maker & barista for this joint to be a serious SK contender. Glad to have tried a new neighborhood spot but we are sprinting back into the arms of our beloved SK! read more

Had a breakfast biscuit sandwich and it was delicious. Ordered the sandwich with egg whites and it was so good. Eggs were perfectly cooked, bacon was cooked, and the biscuit was delicious. I highly recommend this place for breakfast. It's very hard to find a good place to eat breakfast around this area and now I can just roll outta bed and walk across the street with no wait or lines. Perfect!!! read more

We used to frequent Twist because I had a place a few doors down. I really enjoy eating there. Everything is fresh and the pastries are phenomenal. The owner was always so gracious, and she made sure that we enjoyed our visit every time. A great gem in the area. The salads are always perfect. Never over-dressed. I'm not a salad eater, but I always order it here because they are delicious. read more

Get the pancakes they are fantastic. Kale salad is well done and the dressing is well balanced. I was not too thrilled with the croque madame there for the 4 stars not 5 stars read more

Service was incredibly spotty the day I was there. You have to order at the counter, then they bring to your table when ready. The cashier was also the server, and barista so I did wait a few good minutes at an empty cash register (aka iPad) station at noon on a weekday. I thought that was odd, but the poor guy apologized at least three times, and I felt bad for him. I placed my order, but after about 15 minutes at my table waiting for my food to come out, he told me they were out of my order or it was inedible (because I did see it in the display case) and we came up with a replacement order quickly. Again, an apology or two... things happen. Then another 10 minutes went by for my new order. If I had been in a typical "lunch hurry" the service on this day would've been a problem. But I actually had a lazy lunch period from work so no stress. I go to counter lunch spots typically for my work day lunches because I do not have time for waiter service, and in comparrison to my usuals (Cafe Magazino, Olive & Tyme, sweet water) this place was sloooooooow. The veggie quiche was fine, and the veggie soup was very good. read more

Order latte and ice latte. Coffee tastes good. Ambient is nice. Nice little coffee shop. Lot of people eating pastry and salad. Did not try but looked good. read more

Twist is a one of my favorite local spots. The food is always delicious, the service is just the best ( as we frequented, the remembered us and would always take a minute to chat). I love the atmosphere, very chill and cleanly designed. Great place to get out of the house and hang. Never to busy that we cant get a seat! read more

While I think the location is great and the staff is nice, this 2 stars is specifically for the Caesar salad. The salad is QUITE LITERALLY shredded iceberg lettuce for $10. I made better salads as a poor college student for .50. I should have refused to eat it but I kept chewing hoping something good would happen. But only sadness happened. read more

I was looking to write a review for Twist and my search came up with Twist Restaurant (a different place)...which actually showed a review for the eatery. Just a heads up to keep a sharp eye for clarification. This is the charming eatery on La Brea. I will definitely have to come back to try more things on their menu but I had the veggie quiche and WOW! the best i've ever had. Seriously. there are these roasted red peppers in there that really make it special. and its not loaded with cheese. Just really really fresh. Service was friendly and the place was clean and minimal. Love that. read more

This place has a great vibe - casual with a cute interior and friendly staff. The biscuit breakfast sandwich (w/ potatoes) was great! Although there were some healthier options, I wouldn't go here on a diet - splurge on some cold brew coffee and buttery biscuits, instead! read more

Came in here hungry as fooooock...I had their delicious Veggie omelet that is composed of zucchini, red bell pepper, mushrooms and topped with cheddar - With a side of bacon and turkey sausage, and it was very good. Atmosphere is open, chill. Customer service was outstanding - a very quiet, chill spot to enjoy a Sunday brunch. Overall a 5 Star spot one must visit. read more

Located inside the Marciano Art Foundation. This mini cafe serves lattes, teas, and bottled juices and kombucha. They also have pastries and cookies as well as sandwiches for a quick lunch while you visit the Marciano Art Foundation. Twist Eatery is super clean, super modern, and an art in itself. Glad there is a cafe located inside the art museum since we tou can't bring your own food or drinks to the place. read more

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

Needed some last-minute catering for 8 people -- breakfast and lunch. Called the day prior and Twist Eatery made it happen! 8 rather picky people (one a vegan) and I got zero complaints about the food. What I heard was "fresh" and "good" and "thanks for getting us this lunch". Had a bit of a leftover salad and I'd have to agree with the consensus. Fresh, healthy, and well-prepared. read more
