Emily L.

Great spot for breakfast and lunch! They have patio seating only, but it's cozy and relaxing--perfect for a laid-back meal. I loved their matcha drink--it was so good! Their bánh mì sandwich was fantastic, and the loaded fries were amazing--crispy, crunchy, and piled high with meat. We devoured them before even starting our main dishes. The chilaquiles were delicious, and the eggs were cooked perfectly over easy, just the way I wanted. Service was excellent--the manager came out to chat with us and brought over an incredible selection of hot sauces (so many to choose from!). Even in the parking lot, the valet was super friendly, pointing us to the entrance and giving helpful directions. Overall, a wonderful experience with friendly people, great service, and fantastic food. Highly recommend!

My friend and I came here since we were early for our friend's funeral at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It's a short walk so it's a convenient location. I thought it was an indoor sit down type of place but it's really small. You order and there's outdoor seating. It was cold when we went so that was a bummer. I ordered the avocado toast and just had no expectations. But that's the best because it exceeded expectations. It was really tasty and the chef personally brought our food to us. He was really nice. I think if you want a quick bite, it's great. But it's not a sit down cafe like we thought it was.

Popeye Scramble with house ground sausage

Came here for the first time on a Friday and really enjoyed our meal here. Checked off all the boxes! Vibe: 5/5 Small cute cafe on the side of an office building. Has only outdoor seating but it's a very nice patio style with ample shade. We didn't use but they have some board games available for use. Bathrooms are available inside the building and very clean. Food: Popeye Scramble (house ground sausage substituted for the chicken) 5/5: Two good sized, very juicy and perfect amount of fattiness sausages, a lot of veggies in the scramble, sides of potatoes were so creamy in the inside and the onions incredibly tasty. Texture of the sourdough was so soft but also chewy and we loved the slight tanginess Breakfast buritto (house ground chorizo) 5/5: Again, very juicy, flavorful, and seasoning was on point. Did not skimp out on amount of meat Sweet potato fries 4.5/5: If I were to be nit picky, could be a little more crispy. But honestly was still very good, sweetness of the sweet potatoes with the sprinkle of salt paired nicely Matcha, Americano, Cold brew (with cold brew ice cubes) 5/5 - We went with basic drinks and sometimes it's harder to find good basics, but Duke didn't disappoint us! Drinks were all good as much as their foods. Brownie 4.5/5: Prepackaged brownies made from a house kitchen. These were decadent, not too sweet (dark chocolate based), and tasted freshly made. Reason for 4.5 instead of 5 is because they were pretty chewy but just not as much as I do prefer my brownies, but otherwise it deserves a 5! +10/5 Additionally they had a crazy variety of hot sauces which I really appreciated. I love hot/spicy food and never been to a place that had such variety available. Service: 5/5 Didn't get the staffs' name but they were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Convenience: 5/5 Parking lot is available right in front with plenty of spots. We even got a sample of one of their protein smoothies, it was thick, not too sweet, flavor was good without any of the gritty protein taste. Will visit next time to try their smoothies, and also their specials which were two types of hotdogs that sounded so delishhh

I visited here for a late lunch and the most part of my journey was finding the location itself. It's smack dab in the middle of a separate company and I eventually found it after walking through the perimeter of the building. The service and food were wonderful there were clear answers to any of my questions and I was always checked up upon by the staff. The burrito was delicious with their homemade sauce and the matcha itself was a good quality matcha comparable to that of a barista shop. There are plenty of other items on the menu that I would like to try, so you best believe I'd be coming back whenever I'm in the area again.

Tucked away in the parking lot of Hollywood Production Center we discovered this hidden secret. Food is made with care. It's reasonably priced. Portions are large. Dogs are allowed.

Strawberry lemonade with passionfruit tea and a side of sweet potato fries, with garlic aioli

alexandra k.

I came here for an afternoon snack, as I waited for my car to finish repairs at the shop around the corner. Quick service, friendly service. Got to sample the drinks before purchasing. I just wanted a side of sweet potato fries which wasn't on the menu, but they accommodated. It came out hot, $5. Only outdoor seating, but they do have umbrellas. Free refills!

Talia M.

Chef Jonathan is incredibly kind and welcoming. I'm can be picky with food, and he always goes out of his way to accommodate me. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is amazing, and everyone here is so sweet. It's a quiet little spot with a super chill vibe and a lovely water fountain outside. Great food, great service, great atmosphere -- highly recommend!

Madeline Q.

Delicious food and amazing staff! Ordered a breakfast bacon sandwich with potatoes and it was so tasty. Their garlic aioli gives it a nice touch - delicious! I came in with my dog while I was waiting for my car to get fixed across the street and the staff were so welcoming and sweet. Even gave my pup some unseasoned chicken and water. They have a beautiful patio space with plenty of seating and shade.

Great smoothies, will be back for lunch !

Great smoothies and super friendly ! Nice patio seating. Will be back for lunch to try their bratwurst special

Really well made chicken cali sandwiches the best around in town and the hospitality was amazing out of the ballpark made me feel welcomed right from the start. John the owner of the business is very kind even extended his business hours to make an extra sandwich. I recommend the cali chicken sandwich

Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Sandwich, iced Latte, Superfood Acai Smoothie

Carolina C.

Really great cafe with awesome food! I wasn't a big fan of their drinks, but the food was amazing. The breakfast burrito had this garlic aioli that elevated the flavor of the other ingredients so much, and the worker gave us a whole array of hot sauce to try on our food! My favorite was one called Cloud 23. If you ever come across it at a grocery store, I would say it's definitely worth a purchase Worker kept checking to make sure we weren't missing anything. Also, the sandwich comes with a side of potatoes or fruit! Outdoor seating was lovely, there's a water fountain and pretty paintings :)

I passed by a sign outside of a parking lot and was interested in grabbing a coffee/small pastry. Before I drove into the lot I was already harassed by the parking attendant. When I said I was looking for the cafe, i couldn't find the right spot. Instead of pointing me in the right direction, he just continues yelling. He became such a buzzkill I said "never mind". Then he goes "yeah get out, I knew you weren't coming here" read more

Holy mac... Duke's cafe sandwiches are crazy amazing. I have had many and all good. My favorite is (which I can't vouch for authenticity here because I'm not from Philly but) the Philly Cheesesteak! It is tastegasmically delicious, like eye rolling to the back of your head, melty goodness of flavors and cheese and noms kind of delicious. I personally love it with cheddar since I'm not a Swiss cheese lover. All of the sandwiches are packed sky high with ingredients and flavah. Additionally, John is the sweetest, and he is an incredibly talented chef. The Duke's cafe fam is wonderful. 5 stars all around. Stop in for some lunch and support this local family run business. You won't be disappointed. Public outside of the Hollywood Production Center tenants welcome! I would post a pic but I was too excited and ate it all. Maybe next time. read more

I just had the BEST Cubano sandwich I've ever had in my life for lunch today. The pork is roasted in-house and is so flavorful and tender, and the sandwich is HUGE and enough for two meals. I got the salad that comes with it and was so happy it wasn't your common "side salad", but mixed greens with carrots, persian cucumbers, tomatoes, orange peppers and slivered red onion. A great accompaniment to the FIRE sandwich. Duke's is located off the parking lot at Hollywood Production Center, but is open to the public (and not just employees of the production offices), so if you're in the area and want a delicious meal prepared by lovely guys who take pride in their food and really care about what they're serving their customers, this is the place. I'll DEFINITELY be back! read more

They are also dog-friendly! However, I will note that the outdoor space is quite uncomfortable :( The seats are metal and barred on the back & bottom, the upstairs patio is not shaded, and the main outdoor area is in between concrete buildings so every sound echoes and it becomes very loud when there are multiple people, in addition to the street noises and loud music. Not ideal for a workspace IMO. I think indoors is much better, but it is always filled.

There is valet but the lot is so cramped that I'd rather try my luck at street parking. Inside is very aesthetically-pleasing with multiple tables and a fair amount of seating. Everything is almost always taken all the time though. I will definitely be back despite the awful parking situation.

It was pretty busy for late afternoon but I took it as a good sign. My sister has been a bunch of times before and really wanted me to try their cream top but I don't drink coffee and they apparently stopped allowing modifications to their drinks so you can no longer add the cream top to the matcha latte. She got the cream top coffee and I got the matcha latte so I could sip the top of hers and drink mine and it was honestly so so good. I have no idea how they make their cream top but it's unlike any other I've tried. The matcha itself was also very smooth and great quality. Both drinks came out to just $13.50 total, which is amazing. Would come again!

I get the Japandi minimalist design aesthetic but a lot of people would love to just sit down and drink their spendy beverage and there's just not enough seats for all the customers. I would suggest adding more benches along the North wall which is an entirely usable space as well as adding another counter along the window with barstools. For this, I have to give the ambiance 2 stars. I'd still come back for the exceptional matcha latte though!

I prefer slightly larger spaces and flexibility to chill or work. Drink- only commenting on the Vienna latte and ube buttercream latte. Overall, the impression is that their default leans more towards milky and sweeter flavor profiles. These drinks were very milk forward and on the much sweeter end than we expected (and we got half sweet for both). Had to go back home and add double shots to both drinks to offset it. If you're looking for more coffee forward drinks, you'll have to ask to adjust it. But personally couldn't taste the coffee beans. For reference: my preferred coffee in Ktown are Alchemist and stagger coffee

Just a note, it's hard to park nearby, so you might have to park a little far to get here. There was a line for the register, and you do have to wait a bit till you get your order.

We ordered the Matcha Duo and their Strawberry Matcha Duo, and oh my gosh--it tasted so good! It was smooth, and the strawberry matcha wasn't too overpowering. Everything about it tasted so good! If I ever come back to LA, I'd definitely go here again. I highly recommend coming here!

Upon stepping into Duke's Cafe, I was immediately greeted by a warm ambiance that promised a delightful culinary journey. My experience began with the Breakfast Burrito, a hearty concoction that perfectly encapsulated morning flavors. Priced at a reasonable $13.00, it was a flavorful mix of eggs, cheese, and savory fillings that made for a satisfying start to the day. The Duke's Burger was nothing short of spectacular. For its price of $13.00, this burger offered a juicy patty nestled between soft buns, complemented by fresh toppings that elevated its taste profile. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident, making it a standout item on the menu. The Cuban sandwich transported me straight to the streets of Havana. Priced at $14.00, it showcased layers of succulent pork, ham, cheese, and pickles, all pressed to perfection. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making it a must-try for sandwich aficionados. For those craving a taste of Vietnamese cuisine, the Banh Mi priced at $14.50 was a revelation. The melding of savory meats, crisp vegetables, and tangy sauces was executed with finesse, offering a delightful contrast of flavors that left me wanting more. The Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich priced at $14.00 was a testament to Duke's Cafe's commitment to quality. The combination of tender turkey, crispy bacon, and creamy avocado was a match made in sandwich heaven, providing a wholesome and satisfying meal option. Lastly, the Cali Chicken Sandwich priced at $15.00 was a delightful fusion of flavors. The grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned, and when paired with fresh ingredients, it created a symphony of tastes that resonated with every bite. In addition to the exceptional food, Duke's Cafe offers secure checkout options via Square, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free payment process. I would also highly recommend creating an account to access rewards and enjoy the convenience of quick reordering. Overall, Duke's Cafe exceeded my expectations with its delectable offerings, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance. Whether you're a local resident or just passing through, this establishment is a culinary gem that promises a memorable dining experience. read more

This place is so delicious. I think the breakfast burrito is the best in Los Angeles, but everything I've ordered here has been fresh and good. I like that they make most things in house! Even their sauces are amazing. Highly recommend. This place is too good to gate-keep, they're the best kept secret in Hollywood. read more
