Stopped by this new spot last week during their soft opening, and let me just say--WOW. Working right across the street, I've been hoping for a place like this to pop up in the area, and Faregrounds did not disappoint. The vibe is laid-back, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the space itself feels like the perfect mix of cozy and modern. Now, let's talk about the food--because that's where they really shine. The sandwiches were next-level. The crunch, the texture, the freshness--absolutely on point. I went with the Basil Thai Steak sandwich, while my coworker got the Spicy Don. Of course, we shared, and honestly, we couldn't decide which one was better because both were packed with flavor and had such unique profiles. The crispiness of the Spicy Don? Unreal. And that sauce? No words can do it justice. To top it off, we each got a Matcha Latte, which was perfectly balanced--smooth, not too sweet, and not overpowering like some places tend to make it. Overall, this was hands-down one of the best cafés I've been to in Beverly Hills in a long time. They're bringing something fresh to the area, and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. If you're in the neighborhood, don't sleep on this place! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Faregrounds in Beverly Hills, and I can't say enough good things about this place! First of all, everything on the menu is made in-house with healthy ingredients, which really appealed to me as I've been more health-conscious lately. I tried the Thai Basil, Spicy Don, and the Miso Cesar Salad, and they were all bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors, especially the Miso Cesar Salad. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. The drinks were also a highlight for me. I had the Saffron Cold Brew and the Honey Lavender Matcha, and both were incredible. I got to learn that the owners actually make their own handcrafted syrups, which makes all the difference. The Honey Lavender Matcha was especially unique--smooth, slightly floral, and not too sweet. Speaking of the owners, I had the chance to chat with them, and it was refreshing to hear how committed they are to using high-quality ingredients while keeping the menu affordable. It's rare to find a place that's both health-conscious and budget-friendly, especially in Beverly Hills! All in all, Faregrounds is now my go-to spot. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a full meal, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a lovely experience. A hidden gem away from all the coffee chains. This unique spot brings good vibes, great service and a clean space. I can't eat everything so I love that they serve grass fed steak, and organic Mary's chicken. They also only use avocado and olive oil. I don't know anywhere in Beverly Hills that offers that with such affordable prices. Their coffee is fire too. They're a small business, everything is done by just a couple of young entrepreneurs. Really working hard to provide for the community. I got 2 matchas, Natalie and Jazmine recommended the 12oz size since they use ceremonial and you get more for what you're paying for rather the 16oz which is all milk. I appreciate the honesty, idk a coffee shop that truly wants you to enjoy the experience, so I like that a lot. The matchas with foam come in 16oz which makes sense. Everything is just the right price. They also make all their foams, and deserts in house. The menu and bakery items rotate. It's not pre bought or pre packaged. Wow read more

This wrap might've ruined every other chicken Caesar wrap for me. Located right in the heart of Beverly Hills, Faregrounds has quickly become the neighborhood's ultimate hotspot for high-quality wraps, sandwiches, and viral specialty coffees that put a fresh, healthy twist on everyday comfort food and let me tell you - the hype is 1000% real. Their viral Miso Caesar Wrap with Crispy Chicken features a light miso dressing that completely changes the game. It gives off this deep savory umami flavor, without that heavy, greasy feeling - making the wrap taste incredibly fresh and feel pretty healthy. Hands down, the best chicken caesar wrap I've ever had. We also tried their Spicy Don sandwich and banana cream matcha lattes, which were good, but don't even compare to the Miso Caesar Wrap. If you are anywhere near Beverly Hills, you need to grab your friends and hit up Faregrounds ASAP. Trust me on the Miso Caesar - you won't regret it. read more

This is definitely gonna be my new favorite place. I came by when they had their soft opening I think a couple of weeks ago. It's such a nice ambiance when you walk in like it's so cute. They already have merch and hats which is really cool to see. Alec the owner was really helpful in choosing what to eat/drink. They had a lot of variety which was nice to see and it's fairly priced. I would say you're getting your moneys worth. The sandwiches were a good size and there's so much flavor. I got the Thai Basil steak and its the most unique sandwich I've ever had. I also got their Matcha Latte and they use ceremonial! I could tell they really to use quality ingredients even with their drinks. Def coming back to try their other specialty drinks. Thank you!!! read more

This place is gonna be huge well it kinda is, wait times 25-30min, which is fine, another Italian deli place next door has 45 min wait times so you know this is also fire. Didn't mind waiting, they prefaced it to me ahead of time so I knew what to expect! Service, amazing. The staff was on top of it all. Uber drivers everywhere, customers everywhere, the place was packed!! No room to walk. No tables open. Staff handing out orders and drinks cleaning the tables. Super attentive and kind. Staff was definitely doing a lot while dealing with customers and delivery app ppl standing right next to them. What a rush. Def calling ahead next time to bring my work buddies. Oh and the food, fresh, warm, crispy, amazing. read more

While visiting the doctor's office nearby, we stumbled across Faregrounds and were excited to try a new spot. The café itself is small and cozy, with a casual vibe. We weren't particularly fond of our drinks, as they didn't quite meet our expectations, but the Spicy Dawn sandwich was chef's kiss--absolutely delicious! The combination of vodka sauce and pesto was divine and made for a unique and flavorful bite. Service was standard--nothing exceptional but efficient. Overall, while the drinks didn't impress us, the food was definitely worth trying, and I'd consider coming back for that sandwich alone! Overall rating: 3.75 - Drinks were underwhelming, but the Spicy Dawn sandwich was a standout! read more

My friends and I had lunch , and I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect mood. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and were incredibly attentive throughout our meal, making sure every detail was to our liking. What really set this place apart was the attentive service who came by to ensure we were enjoying everything. It's clear they care deeply about their guests' experience. If you're looking for a spot that guarantees a delightful dining experience with every visit, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! read more

This café is right next to my work, and I love grabbing my morning coffee there -- they have such a huge selection! Their matcha is great too. I also get lunch from them, and their sandwiches are really good. The portions are big, which is always a plus. I'm still sad they changed the menu and removed the pastrami sandwich. The staff is always nice, and the atmosphere is super modern, definitely one of my favorite spots nearby. read more
