Everything I've tried so far was delicious from the coffee to the fresh orange juice to the pancakes and omelettes. The soufflé pancakes are truly fluffy and delicious. I've tried the strawberry ones and also the mango ones in the past and both were incredibly good.. This place gets pretty full, but they always accommodated us and took our order quickly. The ambience is laid-back and welcoming I highly recommend checking out lady C's!

Let me begin by saying that most of the food here is very, very, very well prepared and very, very,…read morevery good. What baffles me is the service. The last time I came here it was about five years ago, when it was still CiCi's. What I remember about that last time was how long it took us to get our food. I ordered steak and eggs, and when we asked when our food was coming, our waitress stared at me and said, "Well you ordered the steak . . . ". As if it was my fault that the food was taking a very long time. Regardless, when the food finally came, it was very good. However, the price point and the service was enough for me not to go back for a very long time. Until today. There are two seats on the very far left end of the bar that are lower than the regular bar seating. The hostess gave us menus promptly. There is a tall waitress working there who wears large glasses. Her hair was pulled back tightly. I'm not sure if she's is Asian or Hispanic. I'm not saying that to throw any shade at her ethnicity whatever it is I'm just saying that to try to describe who this person is. I have never in my life, been looked at so sourly and exasperatedly by a waitress as I have when this waitress saw my boyfriend and I sitting at the bar. No smile. Maybe she was upset because I had to flag her down because we had been sitting there waiting for someone to ask us if we wanted anything to drink. I asked for two coffees and two waters. She brought us the waters, and I never spoke to her again. Another waitress was kind enough to bring us our coffees after that. We waited a little while to order and yes, it was busy, but there were at least two or three people behind the bar at all times and I know they have other customers in the restaurant to serve so that doesn't bother me at all. So there was a third woman who took our order. We waited and waited and waited for our food. They did refill our coffee. After a while, I finally asked is our food coming? I was told let me go check by a fourth person. That fourth person returned and said that our food would be up soon. 10 minutes later I asked again if our food was coming. I understand certain things that take a long time like any of the pancake soufflés, but we did not order any soufflé pancakes. When I asked the second time when our food was coming, again, that person went to the kitchen to ask. When that person came back, they said oh it's not ready because you ordered the steak. The exact same thing they told me the last time we were here five years ago as to why our food was taking so long. I order my steak, medium rare every time it does not take that long to make a medium rare steak. Regardless, when I got my food, it was delicious. They forgot the side order of potatoes (because God forbid steak and eggs comes with potatoes) but I told them not to worry about it because I didn't wanna have to wait another 30 minutes to get them. My entree also came with a crêpe, and when they asked me what kind of crêpe I wanted, I asked for a Nutella crêpe. You know what they give you? A bone dry crêpe with whipped cream and a few drops of Nutella. I'm pretty sure that Nutella is supposed to go inside the crêpe not just a couple drops on top of it with a big giant dollop of whipped cream. And just because I feel like it, you know what's really low rent for a place with these prices? Tossing a to-go plastic disposable container of A1 on the plate with the steak and eggs. Seriously? You don't have a small little ceramic ramekin that you could at least put the A1in? I feel like that was put there just to fill up the plate because they don't give you any potatoes. Kind of a classless move. So like I said before, the food was very good and I'm sure it always will be. But when the waitress looks at you like you ruined her day, it reminds me why I haven't come back for years. Then when I really WANT to support that local business again, history of repeats itself. I don't like being blamed for my food taking forever because it's what I ordered. That is completely ridiculous and not the customers fault. So just be prepared for dirty looks and even if it's not that busy you're still gonna wait a long time for your food and maybe it'll be worth it but that's up to you.

I always get the caramel latte, which I love, and today my friend ordered the mocha. For breakfast, I had the French Toast Combo with two pieces of French toast, two eggs, and three strips of bacon. It was a LOT of food! They were also able to scramble my eggs with milk, which I really appreciated because it makes them so much fluffier. I also really appreciated that my eggs and bacon were served on a separate plate from my French toast. It's a small detail, but I loved that everything wasn't all piled together. My friend ordered the Belgian Omelette with tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, and cheddar. I took a photo of the outside, but the photo definitely doesn't show just how packed this omelette was! The staff is always friendly, and I love that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I honestly don't think I've ever sat inside because sitting outside by the fountain is such a nice way to enjoy breakfast, especially in the cooler morning hours. If you're looking for a breakfast place with generous portions, lots of variety, and consistently good food, More Than Waffles is definitely worth a visit. They serve lunch too, although breakfast is clearly the star of the menu. I haven't tried lunch yet, but considering how consistent everything else has been, I'll have to give it a try one of these days!

While the environment is nicely designed and looks great, the pleasant experience ended as soon as I walked in and ordered. The service was slow and overall terrible. The staff was completely unhelpful when I asked for assistance with the wifi, making it a frustrating place to try to get any work done. The wifi was terribly slow and would not even open google. As for the coffee, my Americano was bland and overpriced. To make matters worse, the to-go cup was leaky, which just added to the frustration. I left feeling very unhappy and would not recommend this spot if you are looking for a fun time or a productive place to work. There are better options in the area.

I've tried the Waffles Benedict, Red Velvet Waffle, and the Matcha Waffle, which were all fantastic. The Waffles Benedict, which came with ham and poached eggs, was my personal favorite (the eggs were the perfect runniness; compliments to the chef!). There is also plenty of seating including chairs and booth options, so larger parties, families with kids, or couples can have a comfortable place to dine. As for the prices, the food ranges within the $20s range (any extra add-ons like eggs, ham, etc. cost a few dollars more). I would say this is pretty typical for an LA restaurant, although it may come off as a bit "pricey" for non-locals or travelers. However, they do offer a very diverse menu, so there is definitely something that everyone could enjoy.

We did about 1 hr of waiting. But we know it is Sunday, and it can get busy; however, it is pretty rude to not be checked on. Our waiter basically ignored us the entire time; she only came to us when we signaled for her. Our drinks were empty, and she did not check to see if we were okay. On top of that, she seemed annoyed to take our order and seemed very rushed. The minute we said our last thing, or so she thought, she closed her tablet and left. I had to tell her to wait; I was not done, as I still had other questions, like ordering hash brown and white bread. We also want some mimosas, which we had to track her down just so we can ask for them. Food took 30 mins, and my order was wrong. On top of that, not once where we checked on when we had our food until the very end, and only because she checked on another table and she saw me staring her down. I felt ignored and disappointed coming here; I swear I get better service at Denny's and would much rather go there for breakfast. The food is excellent, but the service is some of the worst I've seen. Needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
