    Rancheros Bowl, Iced Matcha
    Sofis K.

    RANCHEROS STYLE BOWL 7/10: I got the rancheros style burrito but in bowl and it was $16.42 including tax and it was quite good! The eggs were nice and fluffy, the beans had a good flavor to them, and the ranchera sauce was amazing. There were, however, a few downsides that make this a bit overpriced for me--personally. I would have like to have seen more ranchera sauce in ratio to the eggs. If anything, I probably gobbled the sauce in 2 bites and was left with most of the bowl ranchera-sauceless. I also think it would be nice if they gave an option to have a single tostada in place of the four tortilla if we opt in for the bowl option. It would give the dish a nice crunch component and would be perfect for people who don't want too much tortilla! MATCHA LATTE 9/10: The matcha latte was really good! I got it sweetened lightly with brown sugar and it was amazinggg. It had a subtle sweetness to it and the matcha flavor was prominent, bold, and smooth. I definitely suggest getting the matcha here! NOTES-- - Open and ample seating - Street parking!

    Walked in and no one was here when we ordered. Thought that meant we'd get our food quickly. We sat down and people started arriving and ordering. 30 minutes later no food had came out. Went to check in and turns out tickets weren't printing and they didn't notice all these people waiting with no food??? Got our food eventually almost 50 minutes later. Food was solid but service lacked so was not worth the wait

    Carla cream top matcha
    Clarissa N.

    I went here on a Monday morning and it wasn't busy at all. I was recommended the Carla cream top matcha. The cream top was good but the matcha was very watery and didn't have a taste at all. I just tasted the milk which was really sad. There is a lot of seating in the cafe which was nice if you needed a place to study or eat .

    Caesar salad - giant croutons, giant flavor
    Catherine S.

    First time at Carla and it did not disappoint! Found myself in LA on a Thursday evening and took advantage of the moment. The burger was perfect, I absolutely LOVED the chilis in it. BK sandwich was crispy and so flavorful. And the salad was BIG and creamyyy. Staff were very friendly and helpful with ordering. The dimmer set mood lightning is great for dinner. Not too crowded during the 6pm reservation but it was packed by the time we left. Parking - leverage the massive Target garage across the street. There is an entrance on 3rd street or La Cienega.

    The sandwich and matcha was good but I noticed half way through there was a lady bug in the arugula. I got grossed and couldn't eat the other half.

    chicken sandwich and dirty burger
    Celine K.

    checked out burger night at carla cafe, which is every thursday. the chicken sandwich was a stand out, highly recommend trying and very underrated. i'd skip the burger honestly, specially the dirty. pigs in a blanket was also delicious. service was great, very kind! parking is challenging on the street but there's also nearby valet

    Matcha iced
    Daisy F.

    Being this expensive should be a crime lol a sandwich should not be $20!!! The matcha was filled to the top with ice and the top couldn't even close cos the barista filled it to the top!!!! I would not come here again for these prices The sandwich was decent...

    The matcha is made to perfection! Not too sweet but still very rich in flavor. I usually can't finish my matchas cause it's too much but this one was so good I drank all the way down. The guy helping us was so nice and patient when explaining the menu. We ended up getting the breakfast burrito and loved it! Will def be coming back for that combo.

    Carla Café's awesome breakfast burrito.
    David K.

    Absolutely fantastic breakfast burritos, french toast, and their tuna sandwiches are tdf. No skim milk or splenda for your coffee, but the great food more than makes up for these minor shortcomings.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Noesh H.

    One of the best breakfast spots in town. I had ordered to-go, and it certainly did not disappoint! Their breakfast burrito was incredible, along with their matcha cream top. The real star of the show was their French toast. Thin, crispy, egg-y, buttery; what more could you ask for? All the sauces they give you are made in-house and are great. Service was fast, and the food was fresh/hot when I ordered. Highly recommend!

    I just moved to this area and I tried this place; I had would consider like a Korean fusion burrito, and the pickles were very delicate and not overpowering the gochujang sauce was actually pretty mild and easy on my stomach. The Matcha latte was also pleasant. I'm looking forward to trying other things on this menu. ‍‍

    3.5 Stars I bought the sandwich from Uber eats so I can't comment on the service or ambience for this one. The sandwich I got is called the tuna chop. It's one of their most famous sandwiches. I love tuna sandwiches so I decided to try it out. The sandwich features a generous portion of house-made tuna salad, complemented by avocado, chopped salad lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, garbanzo beans, pepperoncini, jalapeño, red wine vinaigrette, yellow mustard, and garlic-basil aioli, all served on a toasted ciabatta roll. The bread was soft and crispy. I enjoyed the bread. While the sandwich filling had its sour, tangy and spicy moments which were nice, and it did taste very fresh, I was hoping that the flavors would come together stronger. The tuna itself didn't really stand out to me. It wasn't bad but I was hoping for something more. Plus I paid about $25 for the sandwich. I would try something else from here though.

    Garlic Aioli Chicken Sandwich
    Carlo G.

    Cute brunch/lunch spot on W 3rd! I came in for an early lunch on a weekday. Walking-in, I loved the branding and the vibe of the restaurant. A perfect spot for a casual and light lunch. For drinks I ordered the banana cream matcha. It was on the milkier side but it was still delicious, creamy, and had good banana and cinnamon flavor. However, I wish the matcha flavor was stronger. For food I got the garlic aioli chicken sandwich and it was great! The bread was crispy, the veggies and avocado were fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the garlic flavor was tasty. I would prefer if the sandwich was warmer though. Overall, a great spot for lunch and takeout. I would be definitely be coming back to try the other drinks and food!

    Is a matcha really $11 or is than an error on their website?

    Our matcha is imported from Japan and ceremonial grade. It ranges from $7.50 - $8.50 in price. Hope this helps !

They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

A traditional Shiraz salad is made with finely diced cucumber, tomato, and onion, dressed simply with verjuice or lemon juice. It does not contain avocado.
