The breakfast croissant with hot sauce was delicious - everything was thinly sliced or prepared so that it stacked really well and didn’t explode out the back when I took a bite. The V-Power smoothie was refreshing, the latte was good too. Place was quiet (Monday morning I guess) and the staff was friendly - brought my order to the table while I was reading. I’ll come back when I’m in LA again.

Rambled into this spot and happy I did. Got a bomb salad, green juice and coffee. Was absolutely divine. Sat curbside. Not a lot of seating inside. Great solo or on the go lunch spot.

I've been coming here for lunch once a month for several years. The staff has always been friendly, but during a visit last year they took it even further. Late last summer I went to pick up my to-go order and was already having a rough day. The owner chatted me up as usual, and when I went outside to take my lunch back to work, my car would not start. I popped the hood and was trying to figure out what was wrong (I am not a car person). The owner saw me and came out to help. He not only jumped my car for me with his own cables and another member of his team, he gave me the cables in case I needed them between there and the auto shop. When I brought them back a few days later, I also brought him flowers, which he kept alive and on display in the cafe for weeks. The food was already fantastic, but I'll never forget that kindness that day. It's been nearly a year and I just told the story again, so I thought I'd come back here to share. Highly recommend. Also the Caesar Wrap is the best.

Best cafe at Melrose by far! The food is extraordinary, the service is 10/10. It’s a great spot spot for a meal. Do not miss the Afghan Rice, every Friday’s special! Thank you so much you guys.

Stumbled upon this shop while refusing to line up at community goods. Latte was perfect and the wrap of the day was better. The two boyz running the shop were kind, professional, and served with a type of pride that is slowly slipping away. Bravo!
