Came here today with my co workers . Cute spot on pico... walking in there is limited seating but no big deal. The dessert is displayed and omgggg looks so delicious. We got sat down quick and offer waters to drink with the menu . I looked up on yelp to help me decide what I wanted. My sandwich came with a salad and might I add came out pretty quickly . Very decent size sandwich and yummy. They are pricey but that's how LA is now. I also grabbed a chocolate chip cookie and it's ok but I definitely wanna try the carrot cake next time read more

Food - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're gonna call your cafe FOOD, your food better be good. I had the grave misfortune of sitting next to a couple who ordered the tuna sandwich and I was basically gagging throughout my meal. Before you're quick to think "oh they must not like fish", that's quite the contrary, but fish should never reek. Sadly the sandwich I ordered (the turkey/cranberry/brie) was mid, despite it being pressed on ciabatta. The kicker was I ordered a cortado to go at the counter and before doing so asked the employee if he could make that, as it wasn't on the menu. He said yes and then poured a shot of espresso and splashed in some milk and handed it to me. That's funny, because that's not a cortado. The concept of this place is better than the execution, and there are many, many better places to take your money in LA. read more

*Some of the Best Cold FOOD Deli-case Sides in LA* I always do takeout here because the place is usually packed. And it gets pretty cramped inside. My go-to is the side dishes in the cold food deli-case. Ever-changing Daily & Weekly Specials are all creative and delicious. Their desserts & baked goods are all Fantastico. Prices can be a bit step but you get what you pay for ~~ fresh locally sourced organic foods, freshly prepared with nothing but the finest quality ingredients ~~ no chemicals no crap no fake fillers. Sometimes it's a bit challenging trying to place an order during peak hours...and snaging a parking space on busy Pico or the side streets...but it's well worth the time & effort because their FOOD is that GOOD (don't forget to feed the meter before yourself and check the street parking signs so you don't get towed -- I'm not talking from experience :-) Seriously, I've actually saved others from getting towed because they neglected to carefully read the "no parking" & "street cleaning" signs. YMMV but I've never had an issue with the customer service here ~~ Judy (the owner) and her team have always been nice to me (okay fine, once in dozens of visits, spanning 17 years ~~ not so nice ;) Some of the Best Cold FOOD Deli-case Sides in LA -- so good I need to repeat myself. {{{Big~High~Five}}} Grandslam Lifelong Fan read more

All of the food here is fantastic but the Caprese Sandwich "panino caprese" is my favorite (mozzarella, pesto, lettuce, tomato, and drizzled balsamic reduction on amazing ciabatta). This is really my favorite sandwich in Los Angeles. I also love The spicy noodles, and breakfast Sandwich, and delicious baked goods. The staff is really wonderful, friendly and efficient. Whenever I'm in the area, this is where I eat. read more

Obsessed with the options here. The food has high quality ingredients with great seasoning and flavor. I loved the avocado toast topped with it poppy seeds and garnished with thinly sliced radishes. Vegan and vegetarian friendly options also available! The dirty chai latte was AMAZING. And Eddie was so sweet to make our girls brunch all the merrier with our names transformed into latte art. So insta worthy! The service here is impeccable. Our server, Bastien, was so friendly and attentive. He had great recommendations and checked in on us often. We were very well taken care of and will be coming here again and again! read more

I was genuinely stunned by how rude the owner Judy is. She clearly has no shame in mistreating customers. And of course her food is mediocre, ingredients not fresh and shamelessly expensive. read more

We were told this is a neighborhood spot and boy, do I wish this were in MY neighborhood. This place is a little like Cheers, where the staff seems to know all their regulars names and in turn, everyone knows all the staff's names as well. We felt really welcome here (shoutout to Rosie and Eddie!!) and the service was great, the food came out really fast, and everything was delicious. This place is a fast-moving little restaurant with fresh pastries and an innovative menu. I had a berry lemonade arnold palmer, the breakfast mama pasta special, and a side of breakfast potatoes. I was worried the pasta special would knock me out, but it actually didn't feel that heavy and adding hot sauce to it made it extra yummy! The breakfast potatoes were also well-seasoned and tender. We really liked the pastry that was kind of like an upside down croissant with caramel tasting notes and a deliciously flaky outside. The salmon was also perfect on the avocado toast and it seems like a favorite here, as all the tables around us ordered it as well. We also had a really yummy dessert that was like a soft, moist lemon cake with cream and berries on top. Everything was so good we had to also order additional food to go for later and buy more pastries at the counter. We will absolutely come back again and I can't wait to recommend it to more people! read more

Love FOOD! It's one of our neighborhood breakfast and lunch places. Just tried the green eggs and ham and it was yummy! But I have also tried the ricotta pancakes (yum!) and the breakfast burritos and the tunafish sandwich... all so good! Their baked goods are wonderful... and so are their salads - everything looks so good. You won't be disappointed! read more

I first came here during the dark days when I was trying to get pregnant. That was 17 years ago when FOOD just opened. This place and its"s owner Judy became our regular refuge to feed my aching body and depleted spirits. The food was exceptional, fresh and creative. Never disappointed. Especially loved the breakfast specials. We've moved out of the neighborhood around 13 years ago but we keep coming back for of course the food but the people who keep this place going. The same warm faces always ready to greet you. A blessed life is all about human connections. Every neighborhood should have a FOOD. ps my twins are now 15! read more

Very popular breakfast and lunch spot for the locals. They are always busy and there are good reasons for it. Food is fresh and delicious and service is good. Expect a little bit of wait for the weekends but it is worth it. read more

Food is my favorite day-to-day restaurant. Great staff and all of the food is first-class. Takes the stress off not having to wonder if I will have a solid breakfast or lunch. Perfect for a Taurus like me who likes the best routines I can find. Favorite meals are "Morning Food Sandwich" - for breakfast, sloppy joes (when they have them), beef stew (once again, when they have them) and the slow roasted beef tenderloin sandwich. read more

Food is okay, very tight spaced, and interesting service. I got Kenny special which is 2 pancakes, eggs, and bacon for 20$. I asked for the bacon on the side to give to my dad because im allergic (I told our waitress this) and she still brought it together on the same plate so I didn't eat the bottom pancake that was touching the bacon. I tried to enjoy the top pancake but it was halfway done, almost soggy on the inside. Not to mention I asked for water and our waitress brought me "Spa water" instead which is supposed to have citrus inside but looked like there was something else inside as well. Another waitress gave me regular water after I asked and was pretty friendly which is why I'm not giving a terrible rating but I was definitely expecting a little bit better experience based on the other reviews. 75$ with tip for 3 people isn't bad though. read more

I have been coming here for years. The food is fine and generally the staff is awesome but there's just no way I'm gonna keep giving the owner my money, especially at these prices. She is repeatedly obnoxious and rude, and not just to me. I've observed her mistreating people on multiple occasions. Done. read more

Five star for vegans, excellent cilantro tofu sandwich. Four star for everyone else, only because of somewhat limited menu options for breakfast. Huge lunch menu though so YMMV. Five star service, our food was so fast and everyone was nice. There's very reasonably priced parking out back ($2.50 max all day). Coffee was delicious, both the mocha and the decaf soy latte. A little expensive though, but everything is these days. In terms of ambiance, a really cozy supermarket vibe. read more

What a hidden gem! Great sandwich on a limited menu focused on what's fresh and local. Today I had the specialty "BLAT" which comes w a side salad. Terrific, attentive, friendly service. I stopped by the UPS store for an errand & discovered this place when my stomach growled. Serendipity. Nice open dining room with a couple outdoor tables. At 11;45am inn Monday, the place was verging on full. My lucky day! read more

What a cute little market and restaurant! It seems like it is family owned. There is outdoor seating on the side of the building and a small seating inside. The restaurant itself is very organized and we ordered salads because a friend told us that is what to order here we quickly received the order I think since the time we ordered it was less than five minutes which was great! All the produce, and the salad were very fresh! The dressing is light, which makes it a very healthy option! Will definitely be back for their sandwiches! read more

A friend introduced me to this place a while ago. They're usually steadily busy yet they always manage to get our to-go order super fast...and...they've always been consistent and accurate!! The food is delicious. I'm a fan of the tuna sandwich with Caesar salad. I also love the lemon bars. They have a ton of great options for all kinds of dietary needs )m( the friend who introduced me is severely celiac and lactose intolerant and we can both FIDM plenty to eat). The food is great quality, great size portions and the people are always incredibly nice. They have a little mart at the back of the store which is convenient if you're looking to grab a freshly squeezed juice and go. It's a small cafe style eatery and the astonish here is always abuzz. Parking can be tricky at busy times but you always eventually find a spot. I see most of the people who frequent the place are neighbors so it has that casual, comforting feel. I'd definitely give it a try, if not a few tries!! read more

Great weekend brunch at FOOD. Kid friendly and the food was excellent (pancakes!!) they even have a book section for kids.

If I could give this place a 0 out of 5, I would. There's nothing special about the food and it's overpriced. The staff was not friendly and less accommodating. I was curious to try this place out because I am a healthcare worker that used to work down the street. I was very hungry when I came here during my lunch break. I bought a breakfast burrito that comes with a little side of salsa. The burrito itself was $21.50! I waited outside for my order for about 15 minutes. When I came back and asked for an extra side of salsa, the staff was looking at me strangely like I did something wrong and they wanted to charge me $1.50 for a little side of salsa!! I was incredibly disappointed by the service and overall quality of the food. I must say the food prices does not match quality and taste. I told myself to never come back here and I can make a better breakfast burrito than this place after this experience. read more

Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots in LA. Feels like being at home. All the staff are wonderful, and even know me by name now. The food is always fresh and delicious. I usually try something from their specials of the day, but I've tried most things on the menu by now and haven't had anything I've disliked. The meatball sandwich was the special yesterday, and it's definitely an instant favorite. Judy, if you're reading this, I hope you add it to the permanent menu I have no idea what's with the people who leave bad reviews. read more

This place is simply fantastic. It's a locally-owned gem where the owner is likely to stop by your table and say hi. I come here once a month and they know my order, that kind of place!

This is not only one of my favorite lunch and brunch spots, but they have the BEST soups and we buy them togo to have during the week. Favorite soups are the Mushroom (to die for) and Lentil Soup with Chipotle. Last year my wife and bought a home in the Rancho Park area and what we realized is there are some great place we can walk to. This is one of those places and I always feel at home here because Judy the owner always takes time to talk with us. Her staff is so personable and always caring Some other favorites are the Grilled Free Range Chicken sandwich, Slow Roasted Beef Tenderloin sandwich and chilaquiles. When going here always check the specials. If you do this you will never get tired of the menu. The picture I added was the Lentil Chipotle soup that I took to work today. read more

If you're looking for a great local spot with delicious food and unbeatable hospitality, look no further than FOOD. This place has been a West LA fixture for 15+ years, and it's easy to see why the community loves it so much. The menu is great from big salads to the daily specials. My favorite is their chilaquiles burrito - it's dope! Judy, Eric, and the rest of the staff treat every customer like family and create such a welcoming vibe. You can tell they truly care about the restaurant and the neighborhood. read more

Food - Quesadilla - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Recommend trying the special weekend menu instead of the regular menu. The ricotta pancakes had a good flavor but a little too "wet " in the center for my liking. The berries were a little skimpy for the price if you ask me. Loved the Ranchero plate - would get it again. But again, expensive for the amount of food you get. BUt also good quality of food I was surprised my glass of OJ was as expensive as my man's iced latte, but the server explained that it is fresh-squeezed each morning so... that's good. All in all, plan to spend around 40-50 for a modest sized brunch per couple. The place is definitely covid friendly and feels safe, but I had to break into my emergency supply of straws in my car because they don't serve straws with drinks or provide them when asked. I think for COVID, that straws should be offered at all restaurants but it is probably a staying green choice for their company. read more

Consistent quality, fresh ingredients, friendly service. Good bread, especially the ciabatta. Sidewalk dining on the shady side.

The small table that the waitress set us at was in the middle of the aisle, so when everybody walked by their butts was in our face. My husband is handicap so I asked to sit at a different table that had four chairs to give him more room, but when another set of two people came in, they got to sit at the four seat table. The service was absolutely horrible. We got the tenderloin sandwich and it comes with a salad. My husband had problems eating the bread because the bread was so tough. lol I didn't even attempt to eat it because I was laughing at him trying to get his food down. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. THERE'S OTHER PLACES AROUND A GREAT PIZZA PLACE A COUPLE DOORS DOWN.I WOULD'VE RATHER EATEN AT A CHAIN restaurant then this place. INSTEAD I WENT ACROSS THE STREET AND I DECIDED TO EAT A MARTY'S HOTDOG, WHICH WAS PERFECT I RECOMMEND THEM. read more

Had a quiche w/green salad this past weekend. Great service, continuing attention, and food!

Food is delicious, hands down. The vibe is "New York-friendly" serving tasty LA healthy food. Been going here for years on Saturday and Sunday. Weekend specials are avocado toast (highly recommend), tofu scramble with ciabatta (it's amazing) and my kiddos get ricotta pancakes, fruit and turkey sausage. This order never disappoints! Service at food is great - in my opinion. The staff is friendly and has been there for years. The owner, Judy, has swagger, dry wit and a no nonsense way. She's more NY than LA, if that helps. We find her charming. This is our favorite spot. read more

Good service, good ambiance. I just feel like an idiot paying $20 + tip for a salad that looks and tastes like it should come out of a clamshell container at the cafeteria of an outdated office building and cost $11.95 (and you STILL feel ripped off when you pay that much!!) No bread on the side, no dressing. Just a rip off. I may have ordered badly, sure! BUT I was recommended that item when I asked for "the most filling salad." Wish I asked for a full refund. Oh well! Time to go somewhere else and spend another minimum $10-15 just to not be hungry! read more
