About this business

Walking up to this diner, you can see it's anything but typical. The front windows display mannequin heads with interesting hairdos, scarves, and even bread hats. The food is also made to stand out. Interesting flavor combinations like the maple bacon donut and the peanut butter potato chip cupcake dominate the pastry menu. Breakfast and brunch items are plentiful, and range from sweet, like the homemade brioche french toast, to savory, like the tofu scramble.

Breakfast burrito was fantastic and the atmosphere was fun and vibrant. And to top it all off Stevie Wonder was there the day we went.

I drove 90 minutes to eat here, and it was well worth it. I had the bacon avocado burger, my friend had the grilled veggie sandwich, and we split a blueberry-lemon pop tart. Everything was delicious. My only regret is neglecting to order the onion rings (I had had them the time before), and I'm still stewing about this. The owners Kris and Monica put all their love into this place and also do s lit for the Doentown neighborhood.

I love a basic grilled cheese sandwich. That's what I had. Nice loud place. Old school with new school prices. Off to Arts District.

The food is amazing. Second time I've been here, but this time I brought my family. Food was delicious. I am in love with the Strawberry preserves!!! My potatoes were slightly underdone, but otherwise ok. Great little place in Downtown LA.
