I stopped in for breakfast - huevos rancheros and cafe Americano - the coffee is fantastic and they have a large menu - open on Sundays at 0800 which I like as I am a morning person. The staff was very helpful and professional- I will come back for lunch or dinner - and it’s very close to hotels and airbnbs- by the Los Angeles school for kids.

An excelente place to spend the noon and evening, with friends or a date. 100% recommended. It is an old house accondicionted as cafe, it is pretty cool. Prices and sizes are reasonable. It has 2 floors, and several bathrooms, nicely decorated and very very comfortable chairs for couples or groups. It is so nice I forgot to take pictures. There is no much space for parking in front of it but there is enough nearby
