Thankful to finally visit this restaurant/cafe. I arrived with in the first hour of opening. The items on the menu were all enticing. I ended up ordering the “shrimp and grits”. The barista made a great cortado for me as well. It was so good that I ordered an iced one to go. My only issue is the customer experience. You receive a standee with your order number and find a table. My coffee was not brought to my table. I had to walk up to the bar and grab my beverage. For an intimate setting I was expecting a higher level of service. Then my food was dropped off by one of the staff members. She goes “the utensils are in the middle of the cafe”. Mind you I’m at the opposite end of the restaurant closest to the kitchen. I got up for a second time to grab something that could be bought to the table. Why are you bringing the food with no utensils. And tell me that I need to get up and grab my utensils. I was the only patron in the restaurant and I believe it would not have hurt to grab them for me. Their product is amazing but the service does not match.

I’ve heard so much about this place and decided that I would stop by on my next trip and visit Issa Rae’s restaurant. First and foremost, the restaurant is very clean and has a warm, welcoming feel when you walk in. Those who work there are customer-friendly and make you feel welcome. The decor of the restaurant is excellent, making you feel like you’re at home and celebrated. I tried the spicy chicken sandwich and it was delicious! It came out on time, hot and fresh all the right spices hit all the right spots in my stomach. If you’re ever in Los Angeles and need a place to eat, I highly recommend this, and definitely order the chicken sandwich and Karla’s lemonade. You won’t regret it!

Well presented, but the "breakfast burrito" was bland, and the tortilla was hard and dry. It kept chipping off too as seen in the photos provided. I paid $3 more for avocado but I did not pay $3 for a thin slice of avocado to be at the bottom of the last 1 ½ bite of the burrito. Overpriced for a mid-experience.

The breakfast burrito was good. Would definitely add more meat next time. The tots were perfect and the sauce went well with it. The breakfast sandwich was yummy. The place has nice vibes and is definitely bigger than it looks. The food comes out fast and fresh.

*This place is Vibe City If you’ve seen my other reviews on coffee spots you know the vibe is the selling point. This place has the best vibe of any coffee shop I’ve ever visited. You walk in the place is esthetically pleasing, you can hear the music from outside the bump 90’s early 2000’s R&B the mood is just set. The entire staff here are so friendly you feel like you’re just vibing with everyone. The food is good but it’s a coffee shop so I wasn’t expecting it to be phenomenal. Although I got the cornbread & I honestly had to make sure my granny wasn’t being held hostage in the kitchen.😂😂 Have you ever seen a pink Arnold Palmer? Me either! But it was amazing. They had eggnog latte & sweet potato latte. Against my better judgement I opted for the eggnog & I was not disappointed. I forgot to photograph the cornbread it was so good I forgot to take a photo(maybe next time) If you see any bad reviews of this place just bypass them. This is one of the best coffee spots in LA!
