    wet and dirty disposable cup
    Sabrina C.

    I made the mistake of dining in at this establishment and when I asked an employee for a to-go cup for my drink she handed me a WET DIRTY DISPOSABLE CUP. Nasty. I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of that kitchen.

    The amazing pesto!!! Where lol
    Mona A.

    This restaurant isn't even organic. I asked to see the Almond Milk they use and it has added ingredients. Not organic! The grilled cheese wasn't good; barely any pesto: also they say they don't use seed oils but the chips have seed oils. You're better off going to a local Italian or sandwich shop that has gluten free options.

    Sourdough bread grilled cheese with pesto
    Christine R.

    1st time here. So elated that my friend suggested coming here. My grilled cheese with pesto on sourdough was decadent!! It came with a perfect side salad. I was thankful for such a courteous and friendly staff that suggested this meal. The coffee was the perfect amount of sweetness needed to start my day. Looking forward to coming back!

    Vegan tuna sandwich
    Ronda R.

    Idiots are running this particular restaurant. I waited and looked for information on ingredients to their sandwich. The cashier had no idea and he said that his boss was on the phone with the owner. All he had to do was ask what are the ingredients. Excuse me. I thought customers were first? I had also asked for gluten-free bread since I cannot have gluten and finally after many minutes of waiting she brought me a wrap that was made out of wheat! Then she disappeared and another 10 minutes went by. I go up and ask where my sandwich is because she's waiting on everyone else and she said they're remaking it. Then she finally came back with it, plopped it on the table and left. I was so hungry that's why I stopped. Ironically I live about 25 minutes from here and it took that long to get my food.

    Probiotic sodas

    Cute place for healthier options. Their Everything (Gluten free) cookie is pricey at $3 for a single small cookie but it was yummy if you like coconut, nuts, and chocolate. The matcha latte (I asked for hot, w/coconut milk and agave) was good. Servers are knowledgeable and friendly.

    Tuscan tuna salad with balsamic dressing

    Healthy clean food place in Valencia. This is one of their locations. Plenty of parking and pretty comfortable interior to hang out for afternoon snack or breakfast. They also have juice and smoothie. You can still order breakfast items at any item which I love since I love eggs. They're very familiar with the allergens such as gluten and dairy. I did substitute the ranch dressing for the salad I ordered for something else. Love their breakfast bowl - just keep in mind if you have celiac, you might want to let them know. They advised that the sausage might have wheat. They do have gluten free bread. Maybe they can also offer vegan cheese in the near future. :) Will try their other location next time in Newhall... that has more of a restaurant vibe. Love this place! Keep up the great work and thank you for offering a healthier and more allergen friendly food selections.

    buffalo bowl
    Rhiannon H.

    I wanted something healthy and found Eat Real Cafe. I tried their Buffalo bowl & a moon lavender iced latte. Both tasted OK. They were unique, but the Buffalo bowl was not my favorite. I think it would be better with more ingredients personally. Either way - service was fine & I would come back to try something different next time. There's a wide variety of menu items to choose from for both food and drinks.

    Fresh juices...yum!
    Jennifer D.

    Not too many places where you can get a healthy meal made with real ingredients. Would definitely come back and visit this place when in the area. It was one of the few places I found that felt like its menu was really transparent and was offering real food. I would definitely recommend any and all of the juices they all sounded amazing although we only got two of them they were both incredible so I can't imagine the others aren't just as good. I do have one bit of feedback on the avocado toast. I feel like the avocados themselves needed to be seasoned at least with some salt and pepper and the sprouts flavor was pretty strong. I would've preferred some micro greens instead or maybe a different type of sprout with a milder flavor. The bagel was absolutely delicious. Will definitely order this. Next time I come and would highly recommend it to anybody dining here.

    Iced matcha latte with oat milk and sweetened with vanilla
    Diane W.

    I'm happy I found this place. It's different, in a good way. My matcha latte, in a rather large cup, cost less than $7. It was light and refreshing, not powdery, watered down, chunky, and meh like it is at some places. And just look at the vibrant color of my matcha drink! I appreciated having a choice between paper and plastic straws here. Wellness lattes cost 8 but it's calculated from the specialty ingredients these consist of that other lattes don't typically have. I'd like to try one soon.

    breakfast bowl
    Diana G.

    It's definitely a healthy place but the açaí bowl was lacking flavor and the breakfast bowl wasn't my favorite. It seemed really clean inside and the staff were friendly. I would give this place a 3.5 if possible. It wasn't bad but also wasn't great. Did the job lol

They have a nice interior build-out with a huge wine bar, but it was a nice evening and we elected to sit on their spacious patio. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by Sarah, who is the bartender and also manages a couple of nights a week for the owner. Sarah is super friendly, explained the menu and provided great table service. They have a large wine selection. My wife ordered a chardonnay and I stuck with an Arnold Palmer. We ordered their bruschetta appetizer, served as six pieces of toasted bread and the expected toppings. It was a perfect start to our meal. We were not super hungry, and selected a three-cheese charcuterie board. You are able to select your cheeses, and Sarah again helped us make our decision. It was perfect for a summer-weather afternoon (although in March) and we chatted, had our drinks and picked at the board until it was gone. During our meal, Sarah was very attentive to our needs. My wife tried another chard, and we ordered their banana dessert, which had great flavor and was a nice end to the meal. This is a great place to quietly enjoy some wine, beer and food. They have a good sized menu and offer a brunch menu on Sundays. (Diane, Sarah needs a bonus, she made the evening much fun).

We ordered a variety of burritos, chicken, carne asada, and fish. They were so delicious, packed with a perfect balance of ingredients - (not like the overrated place that gives you a brick of rice with meat sprinkles). There was not a single complaint on the food among my 40 coworkers and that's very very very rare! Art highly recommended we try their breakfast burritos the next time, so most recently, we ordered that. We had the chorizo breakfast burritos, bacon burritos, and plain - all had eggs, hash browns, cheese, chipotle aioli, and salsa. Once again Art delivered outstanding service and food, no complaints, just happy, full bellies. And for this kind of customer service and quality food, I'd expect to be paying a high price, but Brick and Flour is extremely budget friendly. Please go in and support this local business because they are truly exceptional!!

We both enjoyed our choices. I'm not a big garlic sauce person, but my friend loved it and cleaned her serving cup. Our waitress gave each of us a baklava finger, for dessert. No charge.

I particularly love their hot appetizer plate that includes the cheese rolls and kibbeh. Unfortunately their service and dining experience recently has made me question if I'll be back again. Their space is very small so a table for 6 people is really uncomfortable. On top of that, their serving dishes are massive and the service staff is unaware how to put the dishes on the table because the table is so small. There were only 2 people waiting tables which caused for a lot of frustration from the staff. They also rarely stopped by our table to clear out plates which again we needed some plates gone because tables were so small. Recommendation, more people need to work at the front and y'all need bigger tables. A $330 meal (which included $50 service charge) where the service was rough was not worth.
