This is a top spot in Culver City. Coffee is excellent. Breakfast and lunch both great. Good indoor and outdoor seating.

Breakaway Cafe is a nice casual breakfast spot. There is seating inside and outside. You place your order at the counter and they give you a table number while you wait. I like the seasonal specials for the coffees, such as the Mexican Hot Chocolate latte. They have familiar breakfast items but with a twist, like apples and cinnamon waffles, chilaquiles, and a sausage biscuit with chipotle aioli. read more

Clean and welcoming cafe. Cool surf cali vibe. We got a breakfast burrito and breakfast sando. Hot sauce options we good, our food hit the spot and we had left overs. The iced coffee and their coconut water iced latte hit the spot too. We'd come back! read more

Popped in on a weekday afternoon for a quick bite. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick. I sat outside and saw one customer almost fall in her chair because one leg was on the tree root cover. The food and drinks was decent. They did not have alternative meat for breakfast and I appreciated that they knew not to give me chicken breasts. read more

Cute little casual eatery right outside the Helms Bakery area. If you want a sit down meal but don't want to spend too much money, this is a good choice. Most of the restaurants inside the Helms Bakery area are slightly pricier than Breakway. Small and cute dining room with semi self service - you order at the counter first and then you get your order when they call your number. We love their Shakshuka and Chicken sandwiches. Coffees are reasonably priced and decent too. Service is friendly and polite. Overall a great casual eatery! read more

I walked here on my lunch break, this place is a little expensive for the burger potatoes and coke that I got. The receipt said burger potatoes and coke however after walking back to my office I got a salad instead of potatoes. I'm not about to walk all the way back and not be able to eat lunch to fix it so I guess part of higher prices means the customer needs to ensure things are correct. Thanks read more

Cozy food spot across from the Helms Design District with amazing friendly staff and service! I ordered the breakfast sandwich along with a seasonal iced coffee--both were excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon was thick and substantial, and everything was tied together with a delicious aioli. The soft bun paired beautifully with the fluffy scrambled eggs and the savory bite of the bacon. I've also tried their lunch, and the roasted potatoes are so good. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! PS - they also have a punch card for beverages! read more

What to Get/Not to Get: The Salted Maple Matcha tasted healthy like drinking sweet grass. The hot Pumpkin Spice Latte is a must get option, and actually may have been strong with caffeine as I felt energetic. The Sausage Breakfast Burrito was subtle in flavor, so it may be hard to recommend for some. Customer Service: Very good. Pay first, and they'll bring your drinks/food to you after. Bus your own table after Price: Approximately $32.60, not including tip for 2 people Ambience: Indoor/Outdoor Seating. Good place to read and/or study too Overall: Good Experience read more

Great breakfast options here, staff are always wonderful and the potatoes are the best!! Seriously other restaurants should take note of how perfect their breakfast potatoes are. Other favorites are the overnight oats, and the lattes. read more

A chic restaurant/cafe with a good menu. The Mediterranean sando with halloumi cheese was yummy. A friend had the shakshuka which was also good. The Breakway burger is excellent. Placing the order at the counter & having food brought to your table is as far as their service goes. I didn't know this when I added a large tip for the very friendly staff. Water, cutlery, napkins, to-go boxes are all self-serve - as is bussing your own table! I was running to and fro during my lunch to refill my own small water cup etc, grab napkins. Took away some of the enjoyment of dining there in what was otherwise a great lunch. read more

We loved our food. I had the BLAT with crispy potatoes and my daughter had the breakfast burrito. Service was fast and the employees were really nice. I wasn't expecting our food to be ready so fast but it came out hot and fresh. There are plenty of tables for dine in, I saw a lot of people working while eating- I assume work or school because they had their laptops out. Not a loud place and very comfortable. Metered street parking, I didn't see a parking lot. Prices are reasonable. read more

Breakaway Cafe - BLAT with Turkey , absolutely delicious. - Cafes Near Me - Culver City, California

Found this place on Google. Had good reviews so we figure we try it since we were near. Free parking lot next to the restaurant. I got the BLAT. It was good! Fresh ingredients. I get a free side, either potatoes or salad. I got the potatoes because the cashier said it was the most popular. Next time I'm gonna try the Shakauka. I would have gotten it if I would have known about it on the Yelp reviews. ---------------- You order first at counter then pick your own seats. Cashier gives you a number for your order. Server will bring your food to your table. You get your own napkins, drinking water, coffee lids, and to-go boxes. There is 1 restroom for both genders. Tables are very big for big groups but we had 4 people and had to combine tables. read more

My experience for lunch at this cafe was so so. We split 2 sandwiches, one was a pulled chicken with pesto on ciabatta; the other a turkey sandwich with alfalfa sprouts & avocado. For both sandwiches, the ciabatta bread was pretty flat, not crispy on the outside, and lacked flavor as well. Considering it's a $20 sandwich I expected a bit better. The pulled chicken was very very dry and then to compensate it was overly saturated in a mayo-y pesto. Not the best. The turkey sandwich was similarly bland. One thing I did really like was their side of crispy potatoes. They were super crisp on the outside and soft & fluffy inside. Perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt. Funny enough I think that was the star of the dish. You also have to bus your own dishes. Was not necessarily expecting that and especially considering 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees costs $50. They have limited seating both indoor and outdoor. The food did come out pretty quickly so I was grateful for that. read more

This is a very cute cafe I stopped in to grab a coffee after yoga. I got a regular vanilla latte with almond milks it was $7.48 well worth it and delicious. The menu is very limited so if you enjoy turkey bacon or meant substitute I wouldn't come but the coffee is good! And I couldn't get a croissant today but they looked delicious. The baristas were super friendly will for sure come back for the coffee specifically. read more

Located across the street from the Helms Design District, this cafe has a bustling and vibrant breakfast atmosphere. We just got drinks, and I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk ($7.25). Our drinks were prepared quickly. My latte had a nice balance of matcha and milk; neither overpowered each other. There wasn't seating inside for two, so we just had our drinks at the Helms Design District because there was nice outdoor patio furniture. The ambience outside is calming and great for hanging out or reading a book. read more

Breakaway is an absolute all-timer for me and I've been coming here for years now. Speedy service, stamp card for drinks which is always a positive, happy homey vibes. Hot salted maple latte is fantastic and the breakfast burrito is my favorite in LA - the sauce they give is good but the red hot sauce on the table (not the cholula, can't remember what it's called) brings it to a whole new level. So grateful this cafe exists!! read more

cute brunch spot in culver city, great for a quick bite :) i got the shakshuka and loved the bread, it was perfectly toasted and went great with the tomato sauce. i appreciated that the eggs were actually runny as well! unfortunately felt that the tomato sauce was underseasoned, i would've appreciated more depth since i think it was lacking compared to other shakshukas i've had. this kind of just tasted like canned tomato with some spice, i was overloading on hot sauce here. more realistically a 3.5 star review but i would also look into trying the brie jam croissant read more

Culver City is a Mecca of amazing places to eat and drink and Breakaway Cafe definitely stands out on the the list as one of the best places to score amazing coffee, food and friendly customer service. Stopped by here on a weekday morning and the place was packed. I scored an outside table and was craving one of their amazing breakfast sandwiches. After ordering from the counter, I grabbed my table marker, some cutlery and water at the self-service station and planted myself on one of the half dozen outside seats on Washington overlooking Helms. Within 19 minutes, a nice young man brought out my order, a Breakfast Sammy with Mushrooms. One of the crowd favorites, this sando brought some serious taste bud satisfaction. Soft Scrambled Eggs, Aged Cheddar, Garlic Aioli, Mushrooms and a Brioche Bun. Simple but full of flavor. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and hot, blended with delicious cheddar and one of the best aiolis I have tried. The bun was slightly crispy on the outside and soft in the center, holding the ingredients firm with each bite. Pick up some extra napkins, you will need them as things can get a little wild and messy. Light and Bright indoor decor, complete with table and booth seating options and a well-kept gender-neutral bathroom for patrons. There is plenty of street parking on any of the several residential streets nearby. Breakaway Cafe is owned and operated by two dedicated brothers to serve up simple, delicious food and drinks with a casual and comfortable "elevated coffeehouse" flare. Check out this gem the next time you are in Culver City. read more

The weekend biscuit breakfast sandwich is amazing. The breakfast burrito is excellent! Service is spot on and the overall vibe is great.

If your in LA and looking for a breakfast spot this place is definitely not something to brush off. The service was outstanding with reasonable prices and good wait times. The breakfast sandwhich was delicious and very filling. The bread the jam was just regular bread and jam nothing to write home about but not bad by any means. The breakfast sandwhich was "mmmm so good" according to my girlfriend if that means anything. Definitely a solid 9/10 and I'm probably coming back here in a few days. read more

On a rainy day in Culver City, meeting my producing partner and wanting to be close to home, we went here. Love the vibe and the waitstaff is lovely. It is dog friendly and there was a beautiful border collie lying next to me that was ready to get scratched and snuggled. The power of petting an animal, especially a dog is a healing and comforting experience! So sweet this boy Roger was!!! The food is delicious and really cheap for what you get! I had two eggs over easy potatoes, toast, and bacon for 15 bucks. We were there for 2 hours and we had our important meeting together, received a lot of dog love and had great repasts! Highly recommended especially because it's super close to home and part of our Culver City Community! 5 yummy stars ;) read more

Amazing place! So glad I found it! I've always passed by but never seen it since it's so hidden. Honestly, the best breakfast burrito I've had, not just your regular breakfast burrito, was not greasy, had great taste, and was very filling. Iced strawberry matcha latte was great! And so was the iced latte...! The ambiance was great, sitting next to the window and getting the sun, and the music was nice; definitely will sit outside next time! The service wasn't super crazy; we definitely went during brunch, so it felt a bit hectic. Other than that, they were all super nice! and definitely recommend coming here and would come again! read more

Breakaway Cafe - Seasonal Iced Strawberry Matcha and Iced California Dream Latte - Cafes Near Me - Culver City, California

A review long overdue for a spot that truly deserves the praise. I first stumbled upon Breakaway Cafe while working in the Helms Bakery District in Culver City, and I've been drawn back ever since. The location is unbeatable--right across from Helms Bakery--and the staff? Absolutely stellar. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This time, I went for the Shakshuka. As someone who's picky about eggs and a die-hard tomato lover, I'm not easily impressed. But Breakaway nailed it. Perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor. It's rare to find this dish on menus, and even rarer to find it done right. Their menu is refreshingly minimal, which to me screams quality and freshness. I'd take a tight, well-curated selection over a 10-page catalog any day. Less is more, and Breakaway gets that. I paired my meal with a cold brew--smooth and bold--and it was the perfect combo. If you're in the area and want great coffee and a thoughtfully crafted bite, Breakaway Cafe is a must. It's the kind of place that earns your loyalty with every visit. read more

Great food with great prices and prompt but friendly service. I love their breakfast burritos and their breakfast sandwiches are good too. It's no frills but the food is flavorful and the quality is there. The interior is bright, clean, and welcoming. It's a place that is nice to enjoy a leisurely coffee and breakfast while reading the news or working on your laptop. They have wifi and ample seating as well. I'll be back again when I'm in the area. read more

The Baseline: For a Breakfast Cafe they must have quality eggs (preparation/product), coffee must be good (roast quality/flavor), baked/pastry/bread products must be flavorful, reasonable wait/service time, and existence of uncommon combinations. Food: The food is excellent and exceeds the Baseline. My eggs were prepared over easy and had a silky, smooth cooked exterior and the yolks were the right amount of runny. The toast was properly crisp and properly soft on the inner bread, recommend the sourdough. I had the drip coffee which was flavorful and the beans used smelled/tasted properly roasted. I also had the shakshuka which is a little more common in LA but not everywhere so they had some uncommon offerings (also the breakfast burrito bread pudding and Muesli look interesting to try on future visits. Service: It did take a little longer for us to get seated on the day we came but that was a weekend around 10am. Once we ordered and were seated the service was excellent. My water glass was not empty and the staff were friendly. Ambiance: This is a nicely decorated cafe in the walkable section of Culver City across the street from Helms Bakery shopping area. The cafe was busy and had a good vibe with other patrons enjoying a good breakfast on a weekend. Overall I will come back when the opportunity arises. read more

The best breakfast potatoes, bacon, and avocado toast I've ever had! Friendly service as well.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm with a couple friends. You order at the counter and then pick your own seat - it's pretty busy on Saturdays but luckily a table was finishing up as we just got done ordering. I got the breakfast burrito and the vegan butternut squash soup. I LOVED the soup, it was very light, and honestly paired so nicely with my burrito (even though that wasn't necessarily the intention). The breakfast burrito had a perfect cheese pull and I was glad I opted to not add meat to it because that would've been a little too heavy for me. I thought the ambiance for the cafe was really nice. It wasn't too loud and there was nice music playing, but the music was the perfect volume to be able to still have a conversation. For my soup, burrito, and my boyfriend's burger (not pictured) + a drink, I spent a little over $44 (not including tip). There's ample parking in the area as well so it was breeze to get there. read more

Regardless you're looking for breakaway time from the crowd or meeting up with someone else, this cafe might be a great spot to stop by. It's quite packed during peak hours in the weekend, and despite quite many seats were available, I'd say most tables were made more to accommodate smaller groups up to 3-4 people. The service was swift despite the busy time. It's great that they made people ordering then sit and wait for the orders to be delivered to the table, avoiding long lines crowding the space. I tried one of their favorite dishes, Brie and Jam croissant, which you could even go extra by adding bacon. It was totally simple pleasure for me, as the sweet and savory mix was so enjoyable, besides every single ingredient came in generous portion as the pic could tell. read more
