    Doubting Thomas is a must visit. This isn't just a one time visit either. You want to come over and over again and try the amazing menu items they have to offer. You have a selection of breakfast items and lunch items that feel like a hug when you eat it (comfort food). The passion fruit pie might be the best pie in the city. Try it, you'll thank me later. It sells out fast so you want to get there early. The service is always top notch. You have the owner there with her mother which makes going there even better because you know you're supporting a mom and pop shop. The restaurant has lots of seating with street parking readily available. I love the ambiance. You have plenty of inside and outside seating.

    Doubtless Burrito
    Jason L.

    I always passed by this place, never knowing how good of a breakfast menu they have! I came here last week with a friend after thinking of what we wanted to eat that morning. Since it was 8:30, I tried my luck and sure enough, I found street parking down the street. The cafe is fairly big with patio seating available as well. I got the doubtless burrito with cold brew and my friend got the pastrami breakfast burrito. Both were out of this world! I can easily say that this place might be up there as one of the better breakfast burritos in LA, maybe even one of the top contenders. Definitely bringing company when I come back next time!

    Passion fruit pie
    Jessica G.

    Shouldn't have doubted and delayed my visit for so long to this place. Sunny yet breezy LA last weekend was certainly perfect time to get some sun kisses sitting in the outdoor patio in front of the venue. They did have plenty indoor ones and worry not if you saw long line since it moved in a blink. They seemed to be super efficient with the system of having people placing orders before finding seats. Their pastries and cakes were the first ones hooking my attention, and surprise surprise people actually loved their brunch menu especially their burritos. We went for the #1 favorite, the Doubtless Burrito, following the attendant reco for a first timer. Oh my word, tons of shredded pork shoulder stuffed in the burrito with perfectly cooked egg and all the seasonings were on point! The filling portion surely worth the price. Never ever skip their Passion Fruit Pie and do hear everyone's reco about it. The graham cracker crust people were bragging about was indeed dabomb! The slice was such flawless combo of freshly tangy fruit flavor with sweet and slightly salty base. YUMMMM!!

    What an excellent breakfast/brunch spot! I've visited three times, and each time has been positive. The staff are welcoming and nice! My favorite is their Thomas Breakfast. It's a simple breakfast plate with two eggs, a biscuit, some bacon, a small salad, and jam. The salad is well dressed and cuts through the richness of the yolk. The biscuit is buttery and perfect with the jam. I gave my husband the bacon, and he said it was good because it wasn't salty. I enjoy their regular drip of coffee with a side of cream and sugar. It goes perfectly with their Passionfruit Pie! There is indoor and outdoor dining. There is free street parking. I highly recommend!

    greasy quesadilla

    I was really looking forward to trying the breakfast quesadilla here, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. When my food arrived, it was completely soaked in grease. It wasn't just crispy or slightly oily, there was literally a puddle of oil sitting on top of the tortilla, making the whole thing incredibly soggy. I had to use a literal mountain of napkins just to attempt to dab off the excess grease so it was even remotely edible, but it was just a completely greasy plate. When I took it up to the front to politely bring it to their attention, I showed the man taking orders a photo from their Google Maps page to show him how different it looked from what I was served. The photo online shows a perfectly golden, crisp quesadilla. Instead of being helpful, he immediately tried to brush me off by claiming the online photo was a "veggie quesadilla" and that the carnitas version is just supposed to be that greasy. I pointed out the caption on the photo literally said "Doubtless breakfast quesadilla" (which has carnitas). Even if it is a meat option, there is no reason a dish should be swimming in that much oil, and the photos shouldn't look like two completely different items. Super disappointing food quality and even worse customer service when faced with a valid complaint. Won't be coming back.

    Pork Belly Bowl
    Eli M.

    I was in the area at lunch time and stopped by on the recommendation from a friend. I had the pork belly bowl and it was absolutely amazing. My friends had a vegan burrito and a regular burrito and everyone was impressed with their food. Service was quick and the space is beautifully designed.

    One of the best cafe/restaurants/bakeries in HiFi. Their passion fruit pie is a must try. The macadamia nut crust has the perfect crunchy buttery bite to it. The pie is slightly tart but not too sweet, and has a hint of condensed milk. Tastes like a dessert you would get in the Philippines. This can be ordered by the slice but whole pie requests are done online. When ordering you have to give them at least 3-4 days notice however I put in a last minute Christmas Eve pick up order (placed on the 23rd) and someone named Ana reached out via text to confirm my order right away. Super friendly. Their breakfast burritos are pretty good too. They used to have a earl grey pastrami burrito that was super tender, juicy, and almost aromatic. Haven't seen it on the menu in a while though. Decent amount of seating inside but parking can be tricky. Super busy during the week.

    Lovely cafe in Historic Filipinotown. Light seating indoors and out. That said, I wouldn't work from here for more than an hour or two. Don't be that person who sits there for more[1]. Doubting Thomas roasts their own product right in Los Angeles. Got their batch brew and was pleasantly delighted. It was bliss! The kitchen is an *operation*: multiple folks baking, prepping, plating. Between the line of customers waiting for coffee and staff delivering orders and bussing, there is a happy whirlwind of activity. Love the vibe. Besides coffee, they have sweet and savory items. (I'll be back for the latter.) Credit accepted. Bathroom available. Friendly service! [1] This cafe is on at least one "Coffee Shops for Getting Work Done" article. :3

    Veggie breakfast burrito
    Pauline L.

    This place was good! Cute set up, kind and helpful staff, efficient considering there was constantly a line. I got the vegetarian breakfast burrito and a slice of the passion fruit tart/pie. The passion fruit cake pie was incredible. Super unique. I don't typically like "fruity" desserts but this was sooo good. The breakfast burrito was also pretty different from other ones I've tried. It was a nice flavor profile but probably would get something else or be okay with half next time.

    Seasonal Cream Top Cold Brew - Fig
    Shenna D.

    Wait wasn't too bad on a Saturday! Their seasonal cold top is fig/citrus and it was actually pretty good!! Didn't get to try the food but it's super cute near Dollar Hits!

    It's hard to explain this... but the pastries taste far better than they look. I had the chocolate oat cookie and clementine danish as pictured. They honestly don't look like much and I was kinda doubtful of my choices, but they taste amazing. Truly makes me excited to try other pastries with how good these tasted

    Stopped by Doubting Thomas for brunch and ended up really liking the place. It has that relaxed neighborhood vibe, and it's super close to Dollar Hits (Filipinos know that spot!), so it's easy to swing by before or after. We ordered the Chai ( Muddy? Dirty? forgot) and the Seasonal Cream Top Cold Brew. Both were decent--not amazing, but not bad either. The cold brew cream top was the better one of the two. The desserts were the real highlight. The Passion Fruit Pie was bright, creamy, and had that tart kick that makes passion fruit so good. The graham + macadamia crust was buttery and crunchy without getting soggy, which is rare. The heirloom apple, blackberry & vanilla custard hand pie tasted like a warm, cozy fall dessert. Crispy outside, soft and fruity inside, and not overly sweet. You can tell they really care about their pastries. For food, we tried the Veggie Breakfast Burrito, and honestly it tasted like something you'd get at most breakfast spots..sorry to say..nothing special, but very fresh. The Thomas Burger was the stronger pick. Juicy patty, melty cheese, a soft sesame bun, and the thick-cut fries were super crisp without being greasy. Service was quick, and the cashier had a cheerful, friendly vibe, which always helps start things off right. Overall, solid brunch spot. The pastries are the real reason to come...the passion fruit pie with the graham macadamia crust is absolutely worth stopping for.

    Thomas breakfast + Veggie Burrito
    Gearmo C.

    As a foreigner, I hadn't realized how much I missed European-style breakfast restaurants. The atmosphere, menu choices, and even the restaurant layout were far more homey and casual compared to the typical American diner style. The service was inviting and prompt, and the coffee was solid. The food tasted fresh and was beautifully plated. While the overall flavors weren't mind-blowing, there's value in a consistent and casual eats that are easy to come back to! Doubting Thomas will definitely become a staple brunch option in my rotation.

The salmon was served with a crispy skin. The celery and peanut salad complemented the salmon well. 4. The pork belly was full of flavor. It was served with glass noodles. 5. The HIGHLIGHT of dinner was the pork shank. It was served with a strawberry salad, cucumbers, hoisin mayo sauce, hot mustard sauce, naan, and lettuce. The meat fell of the bone. This is a MUST try.

I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

    I knew heading into Distrito Catorce that I wanted to see three things . The closing art exhibit,…read morehear the live band, and finally try Chef Jonathan's menu. It was basically a grand slam. 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.

    We came for an art show and left with artwork and full belly's…read more The ambiance and food was out of this world! We had the tacos de papa, ribeye tacos, and tostada de atún. The food had a perfect balance of flavors. The tacos de papa is topped off with salsa macha but the spice was not overpowering. My favorite was the ribeye taco. The owners and waiter were very welcoming, hospitable and kind. 100000/10!

    I'm obsessed with this restaurant! This place is such a vibe. I came here for brunch to celebrate…read moremy bday with my family. It's located within Hauser & Wirth which I discovered is an art gallery. When you walk through the building and enter the restaurant, it's such a big open space and doesn't feel cramped at all. Such a nice ambiance with lovely greenery and decor. Perfect for celebrations or a nice date out! Great for photos too. Across the way from the restaurant, there's even an area with fresh herbs being grown and you can even see a bunch of chickens! So if you come with little ones, they'll be super entertained and will have a great time here. We ordered a whole bunch of food and split everything. Upon seeing so many reviews for the cornbread, we had to get that and wow wow wow it is so worth the hype. Unreal. We had to order 2 because it was that good. Smoked albacore dip, ocean trout tartare, and louisiane shrimp aguachile were all good. The cara cara salad was diviiiiiine, so unique, it's a salad of oranges but it had such a unique flavor and had a slight kick to it. It's one of a kind! Both the grilled yellowtail and hangar steak were delicious, the steak comes with two eggs. Both cooked to perfection. Got a side of grilled asparagus, this one had an interesting twist with seaweed. Tasty but other dishes shined more. We ordered so much food and everything had such a beautiful presentation and was really delicious! I would come back here again in a heartbeat. One of my fave restaurants in LA, by far. Service was great too!
