    Aeirloom was delicious! The service was quick and our server was very nice. It's small and cozy with great vibes. The potatoes had to be the best part of the breakfast lol. They were so delicious! The vanilla latte was good and the coffee was strong. The smoked salmon had this very delicious sauce.

    Bread Friends

    I was in the area because my friend was getting a colonoscopy. She said she's usually out of it and probably won't want to eat. I already had breakfast but she was feeling good and starving for Aeirloom. She ALWAYS gets the Sunny Sandwich with potatoes. Every single time. She LOVES it. Since I had my disappointing breakfast, I got Bread Friends. A huge assortment of toast with homemade jam. You can't go wrong with toast, especially artisan toast. Fantastic. Very fresh and homemade. It's a pretty large space on the corner. There is street parking and a small lot behind the restaurant. Our server was wonderful! He kept her Arnold Palmer filled and perfectly poured. She said they make their own tea.

    So happy to have made this amazing discovery! Driven by countless times thinking oh one of these days... well, today was that day. My husband and I came for brunch and had an excellent experience. Be prepared to wait a little bit, but also know that it is 1000% worth the wait. They do their best to move tables quickly and they offer plenty of seating outside so at least you're comfortable and not standing around. There are a couple of dozen tables outside, which would be lovely, but we sat inside, which was perfect perfectly pleasant. This place is busy! Somehow I am always surprised to get such amazing service when restaurants are packed and bustling like this one is. Service was absolutely outstanding. Attentive, friendly and our food and drinks came quickly. They have really great cocktails, and my husband enjoyed the bloody Mary to start to be followed by a couple of mimosas with different juices. I enjoyed an Earl Grey tea. Great selection of beverages, both alcoholic, and non-alcoholic. We couldn't decide so we ended up sharing the O.M.R. What an incredible dish. It's optioned with shredded pork which we got and it was outstanding. We also got the Kalamata cutie omelette, and it was delicious. Everything is well prepared, fresh with quality ingredients and portion size is perfect. Wishing now that we would've gotten something from the bakery case for a snack for later, but that's another reason to go back sometime very soon! Incredibly reasonably priced. With tip it was $100 for two dishes, three cocktails, and a cup of tea. We will definitely plan a visit back here. Delightful on all levels and highly recommend.

    Aeirloom Bakery has been in Toluca Lake over 10 years now and there is nothing not to like, except they are only open until 4 pm. Now, this is not just a bakery. It is an amazing restaurant with all organic food, all made to order and served with a smile. They are dedicated to serving only the finest organic foods and coffees. The place is just beautiful, inside and out and you will get the best service, be it if you eat there or go to the bakery area that is amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. You can get a meal there or eat their wonderful pastries. If my camera does not start working better I am going to throw it though a wall. There were some dishes I had or have had and asked if they could take a photo for me. They did better, they just directed me to where I could grab some of their amazing items. We have had them all. The bakery is the best. You will love their cakes and pastries. It is all just so great and never stale. I love any of their chocolate cakes. Their food is to die for. The only thing I did not love was their eggs because I did not like the bread it came with. I bet I could have changed it, but it was good. They have wonderful soft tacos and their salads are great. They even have burgers, but I have not tried them. They have a French toast that you can add whatever you want to and it is served so you put what you want on it. We love their benedicts. I have had one with scrambled eggs and a salad that was heaven. All of their fruit bowls are the best. They have something for everyone. Their prices are a tad high, but you get what you pay for, great organic food. ​What truly makes Aeirloom special is the community they have. Everyone is so nice and more than once we have seen the same people there.

    I have not been here in a while and came with the girlfriend for brunch on Sunday. Portions were huge. I had the breakfast wrap which is equivalent to a breakfast burrito that came with the side of potatoes and two people could definitely share it. Ordered a virgin bloody Mary and it was spicy just like I asked for! Service was great, we were seated outside, definitely will be going back and prices were reasonable!

    Prosciutto Bennii

    Came here for lunch with a friend. Started off with their bread appetizer. Came with three different types of bread, butter, and jam. Filling but will pass on it next time as only one of the breads stood out: cranberry. I had their prosciutto Benedict. This is one of their best sellers. The flavor was great but their homemade muffin was thin and a bit too crunchy. They came with a side and I got their potatoes. My friend got the tostada. She said it was solid. All in all solid food for the price. I will say this seems to be a great place for mimosas though! Looked like they had numerous different options. The service was fantastic! Lots of seating inside and some cute tables outside. There was also an option for coffee and baked goods at the register. Parking was street parking (2 hours) and wasn't hard to come by.

    Simply southern,  chicken and waffles

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 4/5: we ordered the Happy Havana Panini, the simply Southern chicken and waffles, a lemonade, espresso and a toasted smore latte. The Happy Havana was excellent, maybe the best Cuban sandwich in the Valley. The chicken and waffles were ok, the slices of fried chicken weren't the greatest but the bacon made it significantly better and the waffles themselves were decent. The latte was good, so was the espresso and lemonade. Overall everything was solid, but the Happy Havana was the standout. Service: 4/5: very good service overall. We arrived 2 hours before closing, the places had a decent number of people but was not packed at this time. Never felt rushed and the servers were on top if it for the most part. As the staff began to clean up, as it drew closer to closing time, it was a little but more difficult to get assistance, which I can understand. Price: 4/5: this place has great value, its roughly about $15-$25 per person if you include drinks. I never felt any item on the menu was overpriced. Ambiance: 4/5: a country home vibe with a touch of modernity. A nice relaxing vibe with relatively chill music. Outside seating and dog friendly which is always a plus. It also has parking in the back which is a premium being on Ventura Blvd. I'd definitely come back.

    Sunny Sandwich

    First time there. It was very busy but we got seated pretty quick since we were on the waiting list prior to arriving. Menu's choices are good. Food took a long time. Our waiter was ok, zero personality. Food was delicious. Vibe was cool. Managers checked on us a couple of times. Bathroom needed attention. We were seated outside. It was full and noisy inside. Overall, our Sunday's brunch was great and we will go back.

    If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Friendly staff, excellent service, delicious food! I ordered the Spicy Tomato and it. was. PHENOMENAL! A perfect lil Armenian breakfast dish with all the yummiest flavors. (: We sat outside on a hot, sunny day and were perfectly comfy as we were shaded nicely by the pretty, light blue umbrellas. Would absolutely eat here again! Yum!

    When you go to Aeirloom, you get the most elevated and yet homey breakfast and lunch food. Everything is special. And - if you come here often enough, it's like becoming family! It's a great place filled with appreciative staff and patrons. The owners do it right!

    Good food delicious and unique, definitely going van. Parking in the street easy and free too

    Sunny Sandwich
    Reveka G.

    YELP reservation worked like a charm; wish more cafes used this feature. Inside is super noisy; sit outside if you can. It can get busy; consider another spot if you're famished and feeling impatient (yes, that was us) but totally worth the wait for the all organic menu options. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our food: sunny sandwich, juicy bison burger, and breakfast wrap. We want to return to try more of the menu... we already have ideas on what we want to try based on seeing the beautiful plates of food being delivered around us. Five stars for the food... wish the experience was more relaxing, though.

    We came for Dine LA, and this was way above my expectations. I knew it would be a chef-y place,…read morebut I didn't expect to love my meal so much. Dinner was $70 per person and consisted entirely of shared plates. It turned out to be plenty of food. We started with the roasted shishito peppers and the crispy pork belly. That pork belly was the best dish of the night - absolutely delicious. Next came the chickpea fritters, which were also really good. The roasted beet salad was up next. I hate beets. But I still liked this. I wouldn't order it again because, yeah, I really don't like beets. But if you like them even a little, you should get this. I actually ate several bites of this, and it was nice. The Sichuan Chili Bass presented a similar situation as I don't really like fish - but again, I ate this and it was quite tasty. Dessert was a "s'mores" situation - a messy, glorious bowl of chocolate, meringue, graham cracker crunch and strawberries. Service was awesome - perfectly pacing the meal. My friend had a couple of cocktails which were gorgeous. And the room is lovely and light. I don't love the neighborhood and parking can be tough. I definitely would come early unless you're taking a taxi. Genuinely surprised how much I liked this meal. Everything was very well done and clearly made with care without seeming fussy or too precious. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. This is a place to take your out-of-town friends to.

    So stoked that I finally got to try this place. It no longer has to be stuck in my "want to go…read moreplaces" bookmarks! We were able to secure a 5:30pm reservation on a Saturday night with outdoor seating. Friends had dined here several times so started off the night with some good recommendations! For a party of four, they recommended about 5-7 dishes to share. I have unique allergies so both the staff and kitchen were extra careful and made sure to let us know if any of the dishes we ordered had any potential cross contamination. To be safe, we didn't order one of their popular dishes (green beans) as it has cashews. We thought about having those to the side but were afraid there could be potential contamination from the pot they make it in. We ordered about 6 dishes to share and ordered a matcha tres leches to share per each couple. We probably could have ordered another main but we left with satisfied bellies. Naan & Dips - $21 Must get! Naan is super flavorful and comes with two dipping sauces. It was a good portion size to share among 4 people Roasted Carrots - $19 Couldn't get the green beans due to my cashew allergy so we opted for the next recommendation given by our waiter! The carrots were so tender and flavorful. Tomato & Stone Fruit Salad - $24 I really enjoyed this one although our friend felt like the Chicago location made this more flavorful. The creamy tofu sauce with chili oil makes a great pairing! A great refreshing way to start off the meal before all the heavy flavors from the mains! Ginger Chili Yum Salmon - $38 Salmon was extremely tender and cooked well. It comes with two pieces of salmon, so it made it easy to share between the two couples. The sauce was okay for me. Sticky Glazed Pork Shank - $48 My absolute favorite from what we ordered. Meat fell off the bone and was seasoned so well! I liked the addition of lettuce and pickled veggies. You can eat as is or make it into a lettuce wrap! Highly recommend, maybe next time I won't share this one haha Pork Belly Noodles - $36 Pork belly was tender, but I don't remember much from it...also the portion size was lacking so maybe that's also a factor. 2 Matcha Tres Leches - $17/each YES to this! This was such a divine way to end our meal. The blackberry frozen jam and matcha whip was such a treat! Loved the addition of matcha white chocolate quinoa crisps!

The outdoor patio feels like you accidentally wandered into a breezy corner of the French Quarter. Warm lights, casual seating, and that "kick back and stay awhile" energy. Ordering through the app and picking up at the window makes you feel like you're part of a secret club, the kind where the password is "extra napkins, please." * Chicken Po' Boy, WOW...This thing is stacked. Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

It's a small self served restaurant with a limited menu that changes, since not everything we saw on yelp was available. When we visited the options were crispy chicken/hot link sliders, different variations of tots and beignets. We went with the crispy chicken sliders and loaded Cajun tots and they were both very flavourful and delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

The night we went, there was a large party of at least 30 people gathered around the bar, which made it difficult to get in and out of the restaurant and took away from the overall atmosphere. We ordered the Bicol Express Mezzelune and Crispy Duck Pancit, along with the Clarified Ube Sour and Calamansi Mojito. Unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed the flavor profiles this time. The Bicol Express sauce was too sweet for our taste, while the filling itself was quite dry. The sauce on the duck pancit was also extremely salty. We were hoping our drinks would help cleanse our palates and balance out the meal, but they were forgotten and didn't arrive until the very end. To top things off, after we paid, our credit card wasn't returned to us, and we had to ask another server to retrieve it. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience, especially since we chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and had such great experiences here in the past. We know they're capable of providing a much better experience, which made this visit even more frustrating. After this experience, it's unlikely that we'll be coming back anytime soon. That said, because our previous visits were so enjoyable, we might be willing to give them another try in the future and hope this was simply an off night.

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink.

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

    This was our first time dining in the arts district, and I picked your restaurant strictly for the…read moreambience that I saw online. Most times, a good ambience means mediocre food so I'd just hoped it was edible. Good Lord, was I wrong. Several things on your menu were the "best we've ever had" of that item, starting with the cornbread. I never order chicken when eating out because it's boring and usually dry. Your chicken was so moist - the spice level so perfect - that I had to share it with everybody at the table. Everything that arrived was met with "Oh my God. Have you tried that?" The only thing I didn't love was the parsley eastsider drink. I often have an Eastside when I am out, but perhaps the addition of parsley just made it taste like I was on a juice cleanse. Our waiter, Angel, noticed I wasn't gulping it down and asked if he could get me something else. I kept telling him it was "fine," but he did not accept "fine" as the bar of satisfaction so I asked for a margarita. He offered to add heat and I was reluctant, but said ok. Spicy margaritas often taste like a margarita with spice dumped as an afterthought. Again, you blew that theory away. I had to have everyone at the table taste the best margarita we have ever had. It tasted like the margarita had been born of a cross-pollinated agave-pepper plant. The seamless flavor was out of this world. I'm so grateful that Angel insisted I change my drink because we ordered 3 more. Angel also turned my husband onto an IPA that he loved. The unique ambience goes without saying. The designer of the space should win an award. We were fascinated by the diagonally, cut doors, wondering the story behind them. The people watching could have been our entire entertainment for the night. I've saved the best for last and that is our server, Angel. We were well taken care of from our first moment to our last. He gave us honest recommendations, made sure we were very happy, and clearly served your food and drinks with great pride. His name personality was delightful and we are still dreaming about everything the next day. Thank you so much.

    Manuela has been a spot on our list to check out for awhile and finally gave it a shot this weekend…read morefor my cousin's fiance's birthday brunch. First impression is that the space is stunning and so inviting. In the heart of the arts district it is located in a historic building and they leaveraged using a lot of the original infrastructure to make this spot a hidden gem amongst the other eateries in the neighborhood. The meal started off strong with attentive service and delicious starters. We got the popular cornbread, biscuits and trout dip. 5/5 for each item! Where the meal started to fall short came to our entrees. The service staff was kind but not very attentive. Tables who were sat after us were noticably getting their food faster. We waited closer to an hour for our entrees and had to send all of them back because they arrived cold. The manager became aware of the issue and they refired our entrees immediately but didn't do much else to address the significant lag in the service and cold delivery. Given it was a birthday brunch they did give us a complimentary dessert and ice cream but not much else to acknowledge the lack in service and quality especially given the value point of the meal. Overall, we had high expectations for Manuela but this particular brunch experience fell short. We aim to come back to try their dinner service in hopes for a better experience.
