    Marshay D.

    Ok I cane to try their coffee and debated on food options. I heard alot of hype about Faregrounds and so I se to try it, I only ended up trying the salted vanilla foam latte and honestly it was just decent to me. Thought the coffee could have been better but it was not to me. The service was nice, the man at the cashier was amicable and gave good insight on what to get. The ambiance is like cafe/coffee spot and very small inside. I do want to one back one day tho to try their sandwiches! But after today I hope the hype is correct about the sandwiches. -Marshay D.

    Salted Vanilla Foam Latte
    Alex J.

    I have been bamboozled by yet another breakfast burrito. I stopped by for a short rib breakfast burrito as the menu description made it sound really interesting and somewhat unique compared to the majority of those found throughout LA. The menu says this burrito comes with "eggs, short rib, crispy potatoes, fontina, pickled red onions, and gochujang aioli". The cashier also asked me what sauce I wanted which I thought was odd since the burrito already comes with the gochujang aioli, but she offered a cilantro, chipotle mayo, and "hot sauce". I went for the cilantro sauce getting confused and not thinking to ask about the gochujang. I also later found out the "hot sauce" is a calabrian hot sauce and not just any old "hot sauce". If that was mentioned I probably would've tried that but how many people think to ask what kind of "hot sauce" is used when it's not specified to begin with? The cross section looked decent but definitely so little short rib compared to the other photos and tik tok videos I've seen. Naive me should've known these were paid influencers getting special treatment, so obviously they're getting more short rib. The short rib itself had decent flavor but it was just so dry. The potatoes were not crispy at all and more like homestyle potatoes, soft. What really made things worse was the missing gochujang aioli and fontina cheese. There definitely was not any of it in here and I'm kicking myself for not bringing it up to the staff but honestly, it's something that shouldn't be forgotten to begin with. The cilantro sauce was basically sludge and very mild in flavor so it didn't elevate the burrito flavor much. To drink I tried the recommended Salted vanilla foam latte, although not too sweet, it didn't have much flavor. I couldn't help but notice the lack of cleaning too. I sat for almost an hour (9:30-10:18) before I saw anyone clean a table while many people had left tables dirty. Even when I sat at the first table and moved to a second table, I had to clean up spilled sauce, sticky residue, and wet areas on my tables to not dirty my own arms or phone. The space isn't very cozy and the interior tables are crammed together. I asked the cashier if the wi-fi works fine outside and she said the wi-fi "isn't very good and pretty spotty, it usually doesn't work outside". I was hoping to initially try their caesar wrap and ended up here for breakfast so I tried that and was disappointed but now I don't have plans to return for anything else.

    This review is for drinks only. I tried the salted maple iced latte and it lives rent free in my head. I dream of this and need to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Perfectly sweet, perfectly creamy, perfectly coffee-ey. SALTED MAPLE LATTE, you'll thank me later.

    Faregrounds is by far my favorite matcha spot. The matcha is super tasty and just perfect. I also really enjoy their coffee. It's such a nice spot to sit and eat and their service is amazing. Highly recommend!!

    I tried fareground for the first time time last week, and I instantly fell in love with their coconut water Matcha. It's refreshing and full of flavor. Their regular Matcha is just as good and cream top is insane. The service is impeccable and it's a very cute area to sit indoors Or outdoors.

    Banana matcha
    Natalia H.

    This is one of best banana matcha in the area! It's very hard to find banana matcha which tastes good and not artificial or without taste. So happy I found this place. The sandwiches were fantastic, waited about 30 min for them because place was very busy but I didn't mind. The only thing is they gave me regular chicken to the wrap instead the crispy one I ordered. Taste of everything was fantastic, I'd recommend!

    Finally gave the viral Chicken Caesar Wrap a try, and for once the internet didn't overhype it. The chicken was perfectly cooked--juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Every bite had the perfect balance of fresh romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, shaved parmesan, and just the right amount of crunch. The wrap stayed crisp without getting soggy, and the portion was surprisingly filling. This is one of those rare viral foods that actually deserves the attention. If you've been debating whether it's worth the hype, the answer is absolutely yes. I'll definitely be back for another.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Vivien H.

    A very solid place for breakfast and matcha! I've been to faregrounds twice now and the service is always excellent, everyone who works there is so sweet and patient. I got the breakfast burrito with added bacon and it was pretty good (though I was starving so my review might be a little skewed lol). It's a good size and the filling is generous. Love that they include one dipping sauce for free, no upcharge! I got the cilantro crema and it was the perfect addition. My only complaint is I wish there were more textures in the burrito, it kind of turns into mush after a few bites. Wish the potatoes were crispier! But overall still really delicious. Drink-wise I got a matcha americano the first time and a matcha blueberry the second time. The matcha blueberry was so good, their homemade blueberry sauce isn't too sweet which I appreciated. Overall everything was solid and it's a great spot if you want breakfast that doesn't completely break the bank.

    Stopped there for a quick coffee and bite, very friendly staff and fast service. The cafe itself is clean and cozy. The line wasnt that long. Very well made and delicious burrito, and loved my iced latte. The parking can be challenging there if you are driving.

    Small intimate breakfast/brunch/lunch spot tucked away in BH. Food was delicious but their matcha was next level. Why I am trying this now is beyond me. 1. Short rib breakfast burrito: braised short rib, scrambled eggs, hash, pickled onions-game changer, and Gochujang aioli all wrapped up in a toasty flour wrap. Choice of sauces but honestly can go easily without the dipping sauces. Chose the cilantro one and no regrets here. 1000% recommend 2. Açaí bowl:balanced my salty with a cold and sweet flavor. This açaí bowl was just divine with its icy cold açaí base, almond granola, fresh banana slices and blueberries all drizzled with coconut bites and honey. Fantastic. Also highly highly recommend 3. Rose matcha: washed everything down with rose foam matcha. Excellent as well. The rose aroma was delicious. Overall 1000% recommend. Coming back to try the lunch menu.

    Breakfast Steak Burrito
    Mary A.

    I stopped by around opening time on a Thursday, and it was already pretty busy, which was a good sign. I ordered the Breakfast Steak Burrito and the Pistachio Cream Matcha. The burrito is definitely on the pricier side, especially with the added protein, but the portion is huge and very filling. They weren't skimpy with the ingredients, the filling ratios were well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The Pistachio Cream Matcha was definitely on the sweeter side, but it had a great pistachio flavor that I really enjoyed. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick despite how busy it was. Parking was also surprisingly easy. There's a garage on N. Bedford Dr., across from Jon & Vinny's, that offers free parking for the first two hours before 6 PM, and it's only about a 2-minute walk to the shop. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu items!

    Short Rib Wrap, Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, Tiramisu Latte
    Christian ..

    Food was excellent, purchased a short rib and chicken Ceaser wrap, the cilantro dressing was beyond delicious ! Service was awesome, gentleman was helpful and made great recommendations, the place itself was a vibe, modern chill and welcoming. Also got a Tiramisu late with coconut milk, top tier!

    Jacklyn D.

    I am so amazed at how good this place actually is. Although it is on the pricey side, the wraps and sandwiches are actually gigantic! Yes, indeed, the hype for that caesar wrap is worth it. You must go and try it with the crispy chicken. They already put enough dressing in the wrap itself, but they also include a small side of it too. I also tried the favorited spicy don, which was enough for 2 people as well. The cheese was melted perfectly onto the chicken cutlet and the perfect amount of heat is in the vodka sauce. It also came with a side of chipotle sauce and extra vodka sauce which was hot in it's container. My friend tried their banana matcha and rates it a 5/5 and I tried the tiramisu latte which I would rate a 4/5. You can taste the quality in their food and drinks. Luckily, upon my arrival, the line was not long, but as I was sitting outside enjoying my food, the line began to grow. Honestly, please check this place out. I will be back soon!!

    As my eldest daughter and I were strolling along at Westfield Century City Mall, Oakberry Acai…read morereminded me of something. Oh yes, they were one of the vendors at a Yelp event held inside Sports Basement in Long Beach. I didn't get a chance to try their acai bowl because I was slow in getting to their booth. You know what this means. I had to try them once and for all right here and now. I walked in and no one was present at the front counter. It's a small shop with some merch for purchase. Soon after my entry, a young gentleman walked up and took my order. At first, I wanted to get an acai bowl since it's their speciality. They have Build Your Own (BYO) options in bowls and smoothies with various sizes from 12 oz to 16 oz to 24 oz. Then, I saw Very Berry Smoothie that also has acai along with various berries. Well, why not get both acai and other berries. Very Berry Smoothie it is! OMG, it was so deliciously good and sweet! It comes in layers of fruit goodness. I couldn't stop drinking it. I would definitely get it again. Price was over $10, but worth every penny. Highly recommend Oakberry Acai! I'll look forward to seeing them again. Next time I'll try their acai bowl with unlimited toppings. Btw, it's not your run of the mill acai. It's Oakberry Acai as in its biz name. It's vegan, all natural, and organically grown. I love their concept of using a cup instead of a bowl as it's easier to hold and eat from. Thanks for being thoughtful in the packaging!

    I had been looking forward to trying this place. I had seen multiple locations in LA, so figured it…read moremust be doing something right to be this prevalent. Welp, I'm still trying to figure out what they are doing that is right, because my Acai bowl was so wrong. I actually came here twice. The first time I was told they were having problems with their machine. I came back the next day and it was fixed. I found the menu to be a bit overwhelming, so I went with a basic Acai bowl (which is actually a cup) and pretty much instantaneously regretted coming here. The Acai mixture in my opinion is too sweet. I want to taste the acai- not be overwhelmed with sugar. It was gross. Next, I found the granola on the cup to be very unsatisfying. It just wasn't good at all. I know someone else mentioned a rancid taste. While I don't think mine was rancid, at first I kind of got that taste, but decided, it was just a lackluster granola. I felt the peanut butter was skimped on. It's like they smeared it to coat the inside of the cup to give the illusion of a peanut butter layer, but when I got to it, there was barely any. The fruit on top was so little- the variety I ordered only had banana. There's wasn't anything I could see that also had PB and granola...those ingredients are pretty standard everywhere else, but here you would have to pay extra. Ultimately the acai here is too sweet, and the restrictive nature of ingredient variety are a hard no for me.
