I was driving down to LA and it was around 8:00 in the morning and my mom and I were hungry so we decided to look up restaurants close by and Four Cafe had great reviews. So we decided to try it out and right when I got in it felt so homey and I just felt comfortable there because all the workers were so nice! I decided to order the ranchero tostada and let me tell you it was delicious! I highly recommend coming here because it's just such a great atmosphere to be around and they have it of the world food and also it's healthy! It's a win win for everyone! read more

Four Cafe - So delicious!!! - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Discovered this place by accident after having a terrible experience at another restaurant down the street which we left even before having our order taken. So I decided to walk into Four Cafe to see the menu and liked what I seen and we decided to order. I started with the Chicken Chili which seemed more like soup but was still out of this world with the right level of herbs and spices. Next we both had the Chicken Pulled sandwich which was even more tasty along with the side salad they give. Breakfast is on the menu too which from the photos look just as amazing. I will be back. read more

Fantastic food. Flavors were outstanding. I had the gazpacho and tempeh BLTA. I will be back to try more of the menu. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Great local find. read more

The food is well-made and flavorful and the menu is creative (with vegan options!), but it's too expensive for what you get. I spent $19 on a sandwich and cup of soup and was still hungry. Actually, the entire meal was $23 with tip, which I think was absurd for my dining experience because I ordered at the counter and got my own water. read more

LOVE Four Cafe! Whenever I meet up with people for brunch/dinner, I ALWAYS suggest Four Cafe. It has been difficult to find a place that just gets SALADS, Four Cafe hits a home run with me every time! read more

Great fresh outstanding salads and the fish burger is dreamy. I love that the menu changes with every season, hence the name Four, It provides for a whole new experience every few months.... It never disappoints. read more

Trendy place and the portions are bit smallish, but I'd go back.

I love Four Cafe. I just moved to the area and am so happy to have a healthy and modestly priced restaurant with friendly staff to frequent. I had the fish burger and jasmine tea. Free refills! Many offers for all of our tables' drinks! And they're good drinks too. My boyfriend had a virgin mojito and I'm usually really picky about those, they're almost always too sweet. Definitely worth a stop. Either to eat in or out. read more

The 2-star "meh" rating is actually NOT about the food (which is fantastic, and 5 stars), it's about the new service model (and subsequent lousy table service) they've implemented. My wife and I are huge fans of the food here (even though the fish burger does seem to be decreasing in size). What we are NOT fans of is the new business model they've adopted in the last few weeks since getting their beer & wine license -- namely, now they've become a 'wait to be seated'/waiter serviced establishment during their dinner hours. Most likely to entice people into staying in order to imbibe. Ka-ching! Reality check: this is a soup & sandwich place. There are no (real) entrees on the menu. We don't need a waiter. What we (and probably most of your customers) want is to come in, order, and be left alone. And no one needs to be tipped for bringing someone a bowl of soup. Seriously. (Groan.) We ate there recently and our "waiter" (actually, there were 3 people who rotated in serving us) actually ADDED about 20 minutes to our stay because he was nowhere to be found. While we were there we also overheard 2 other (apparently long-time regular) customers who voiced concern about the new business model. One of them just wanted to order soup. Another one wanted take-out but felt compelled by the "waiter" to have to sit down. What was once a bright spot on our regular rotation of "quick" healthy food establishments (that offered quality food without that extra 20% tip) will now be relegated to the occasional brunch or lunch visit. Sorry FOUR CAFE, but you're in danger of losing our business (and perhaps that of many other loyal patrons) because of your beer/wine money grab. (Sigh.) Really? read more

Fresh cool delicious salad was awesome, I also tried the Basil Lemonade which was perfect in this heat outside. Great service,Clean space with high ceilings, fun music and thus the five stars read more

Really cute and clean place! Staf is really attentive. Loved the fish sandwich, the soups were a bit bland, loved the kale salad. Everything was really fresh. read more

So first time coming here and it will probably be my last my bf had a veggie burger I had a vegan cheesecake it was good but too fruity better than a couple cheecakes I've tried but for the price not wortit the veggie burger was 14 dollars ! And it was so small and lacking in any sort of original taste I usually go to organix for a fulfilling burger I thought that was a lil pricy but this cafe proved me wrong and made me find a whole new love in my usual vegan deli place not even 2 blocks away so back to four cafe it's small seats are uncomfortable the vibe isn't welcoming so portions prices and atmosphere are all off if ur Latino used to restaurants don't except welcoming feeling but I guess that's how cafes are especially in Eagle rock read more

Good vibes, good food, GREAT service/staff. A little pricey but it's Cali, what do you expect?

Such a disappointing dinner tonight!!! Picked-up the salad with Kale, avocado and 'crunchy' chickpeas. I did not recognize/taste kale , there was hardly any avocado, I kid you not, perhaps less than 2 teaspoon scoops, and burnt deep-fried chickpeas with some dreadful seasoning and dressing. THAT WAS 'THE SALAD!! Total $11 + TAX, + TIP!!!! Seriously???!?!?! read more

My husband and I frequent this cute cafe near home. When the girls are at school and my husband has the day off we like to walk here and have lunch. He swears by the fish burger and gets it every time. I've tried most of their salads, and really appreciate that they change it up by season, so i never tire of the menu. When i'm feeling naughty their glass case of pastries always satisfies. read more

used to love this place but the salads are basically a huge amount of lettuce plus a few toppings - for $16. If you get a full order of chicken on a salad, it's a few cubes of meat. And any veggies that come on it get lost in the mounds of lettuce. SO basically you're paying $16 for lettuce. read more

Very upset. I work around the corner and eat at FOUR every week. Have dropped hundreds of dollars on lunches here. Today I arrived at 11:45 for breakfast. Stood in line while the staff sloooooowly took orders for four people in front of me. When I got to the counter 25 minutes after I got line -- I was denied breakfast. They stopped serving breakfast at noon. it was 12:10 -- They knew I had been in line for quite sometime, and the breakfast menus were still on the counter. The staff was dismissive. Not a way to treat someone who has supported your restaurant since the opening and has sent dozens of people your way. The staff needs to get it together -- there is no way ordering breakfast off the menu wall should take 25 minutes for four people. Super sad because I do love their food. Just thought the management should know that the staff on Saturday, August 10th was way off their game. read more

First, let me start off by saying that I rarely post reviews on Yelp, but after eating at this hole, I was stunned to see the number of positive reviews and the lack of negative ones. You've gotta be kidding me? Is everybody in Eagle Rock on crack or what? I was in the area with my girlfriend who lives nearby in Scholl Canyon and we were looking for a Sunday breakfast/brunch spot. Without looking at Yelp reviews, we picked this place as we drove by. I ordered a steak sandwich and she got a mushroom omelette, and I'm not sure which was worse. The sandwich was on a dry roll that tasted a week old with a thin slice of overcooked beef and not much else, and the side of mixed greens was lettuce with nothing else, not even dressing as far as I could tell. Meh! The omelette looked and tasted like something a ten year would "cook" for a parent on Mother's Day. It was tiny--probably only two eggs--with some mushrooms and nothing else thrown on top as an afterthought before it was folded over. The potatoes served with the omelette were tasteless too. The only remotely good thing (I thought) was my GF's coffee, which I ended up drinking because she thought it was terrible. The two dishes and cup of coffee cost about $25. I can appreciate a good breakfast or brunch for two for $25-$35, but this garbage was on par with what you might find on special for $3.99 at Norm's. I'd probably give this place two stars, because it was clean at least and neither of us got sick, but Four Cafe needs a reality check, so one star is all you get. I can't even imagine what they serve up the other three seasons. Ugghh!! read more

Ok, I've tried this place about a half dozen times now. It is consistently underwhelming. Absolutely flavorless food for a very high price! The only reason I gave it two stars was because it seems to be fresh. read more

Sitting here waiting for takeout. Was told 20 mins. It's now been 40. This is not the first time but will likely be the last. I get that it gets busy and what not, but don't lowball people on how long things will actually take by that much. Be straight with your customers. LAME. read more

I stopped by and had the veggie burger and the asparagus soup. The soup was bland, nothing special. The veggie burger was one of the most disgusting thing I've ever had in my life. I threw it out after 2 bites. What a waste of a $14 (!) lunch. Not coming back! read more

Not impressed. Found this place after searching for new restaurants in Eagle Rock. Took some friends there on a Sunday late afternoon and there was 4 of us. All ordered sandwich and soup. While food was fresh it was mostly flavorless. The service was just so-so and we had to refill our water glasses ourselves. The ambiance is casual but also unimpressive. There is only street parking and is metered all days but Sunday. Probably won't go here again as there are many other places to try in the area. read more

this is a most excellent addition to the colorado blvd strip in eagle rock. this is exactly the kind of place that the neighborhood needs and i am so glad that it's here. i tried this place for lunch on friday and already went back tonight (sunday) to try it again. totally torn about giving this place four stars insead of five because i really enjoyed both visits but i think there is a tiny bit of room for improvement. for the friday lunch i had a half spinach/fig/almond/blue cheese salad and i say with confidence that this is my favorite salad ever and i will be eating it often. i usually never order salads in a restaurant because i always feel ripped off ordering something that i could easily create for a few dollars spent at figueroa produce but this salad is above and beyond and a half is VERY generously portioned. it's huge. i was full before my sandwich (the roasted tomato, burrata) came but that didn't stop me from hoovering half of the sandwich which is amazing. my friday lunch company had the living salad and the same sandwich. the living salad is good but i don't think that my friend would order it again. it was maybe "too healthy" for her but it was the only salad on the menu that is vegetarian as offered. it would be really cool if there were more vegetarian options and even vegan options so that our veggie friends can eat here without feeling terribly limited. i want to eat here every day but the guy i'm dating is vegan and he will probably be spent after two visits. i will share awesome vegan recipes with four cafe! tonight another friend and myself had dinner here. i ordered the chili and the steak sandwich and my friend had the roasted tomato and burrata sandwich. she loved her sandwich and ended up ordering a pea soup to go for later. my chili came out first and the chef/owner brought it out accompanied by a little snack for my friend. i thought that was really nice. unfortunately, i really felt that the chili was more like a beef and bean soup and lacked any real richness or depth of flavor. it's really pretty and exciting when it comes out but the taste didn't live up to the looks. under-seasoned and seems kind of like a good idea that didn't quite come to completion. that said-- they were extremely nice about replacing it with a pea soup which tasted very light and fresh and was pretty good after it met with a little table salt. this is a great warm weather kind of soup. good for our spring/summer transition weather. the steak sandwich was very good but i felt like i didn't taste the ginger at all. on the menu it's described as having a slaw but it seemed more like a steak sandwich with greens. the ciabatta bread (something i don't normally care for) was soft, crusty and overall fantastic. definitely something i would order again. with a few small adjustments this is definitely a five star restaurant. everyone working there is really nice. the space itself is great with an interesting, reclaimed wood wall in the back. rose petal lemonade was delicious, meyer lemon pudding cake was awesome! can't wait to eat here all of the time. read more

Chef and owner of Four Cafe in Eagle Rock, Michelle Wilton, is dedicated to the green and healthy business her husband, Cory, and she have established and it shows. Like many health and environment conscious-ites of LA, Michelle and Cory are supporting local farms for the freshest of seasonal ingredients. The most exciting news is that they use grass-fed steak and free-range chicken. Their choices in re-claimed wood for seating, used equipment, and a sustainable water filtration system will leave you wanting to come back and support their awesome efforts, not to mention the delectable fare they offer. Once you've consumed a super healthy salad and sandwich, with sides of quinoa and fresh veg, you are going to have to try their amazing ground to order coffee and gluten-free desserts. The coffee is the smoothest and worth the slow-drip wait. Why grass-fed steak? It's not a fad anymore, it's the real way to eat steak. Before enormous corporations needed to grow cows fast, that's how cows ate. Could you imagine a cow naturally grazing on corn? It's a shame that this is a rarity and something health conscious eaters have to search for to enjoy a proper meal. The cows that graze naturally on grass create healthier conditions for the land and the livestock that surrounds them, also creating cleaner water and prevent soil erosion. If there were more restauranteurs like the Wiltons supporting this type of cattle and sustainability, then we would have a chance at returning to greener pastures yet. read more

Mmm Hmm. Well considered and straightforward dishes, served with a genuine smile, and an eye towards all things that are good for you. I heart this little place. read more

I love the menu, I wasn't too hungry so I had the soup and it was good. It's nice and relaxing in there. The staff was nice. I really wish I would have been a lot more hungry. The lady next to us had the veggie burger and it looked sooooo good. Everything that kept coming out of the kitchen looked really good and fresh. I'd definitely go back read more

Lovely ambiance and very friendly folks working the counter. My first time here and I ordered the chicken panini. Chock full of green chilis. Now this girl right here enjoys her some spicy food but whoa-weeee lil doggie did this sandwich have some KICK! Better order one of their handcrafted sodas to cool your mouth off! Haha. Very tasty tho and very big! I'm a foodie but despite being hungry I couldn't finish it. I like it when my dinner is also my lunch for the following day. Very clean, dimly lit and a good amount of seating both inside and out. Parking is metered on Colorado but pro tip: park north of Colorado on one of the residential streets and save some dough! Love that their menu rotates 4 times a year and they source locally and organically. They also have homemade pop tarts! Will definitely be back. My only complaint: my sandwich came with a side 'salad' which consisted of spring mix and (yummy) dressing. Cmon now that ain't a 'salad'! Will try one of their delish looking sides next time. I'm thinking the beet salad fa sho! read more

Always enjoy the food, but ever since the expansion they should just do away with phone orders because I'm always waiting 25 minutes after they tell me it will be ready. If you can't keep the pickup orders organized, don't do to go orders. read more

Awesome salads, great people and a nice attention to detail with their dishes. If you're into healthy eating there's no better place in the Eagle Rock area. Far better than the over-hyped, blando Auntie Ems. read more

great food, great service! the salads are amazing---everything is fresh and really healthy. The space is great too----cute and inviting! read more

I love this place. The food is clean and flavors, well-balanced. The menu has something for everyone, be it appetite or dietary need. The atmosphere is easy and the staff is always friendly. I love that I can do soup or salad, add an appetizer or something from the bakery to either, and I'm satisfied. Thx Four Cafe for being so great! read more

I am writing this review as the dinner that I had from Four Cafe still lingers in my mouth. What an amazing meal!!! Everything was so fresh and well put together and VERY reasonably priced. We had the bruschetta, the Caprese Sandwich, and the Veggie Burger and all of it was amazing. Even though we got there about 10 minutes before closing time, the staff was kind, personable, and didn't rush us. I will totally be coming back to Four Cafe! read more

Can't believe it took me so long to try this place, but glad I finally did. I feel like I want to try everything on the menu, so it can make it hard to choose. On my first visit, about six weeks ago, I had the strawberry spinach salad, which I really enjoyed. I don't often eat salads for lunch, but this one was tasty and satisfying. I also had the iced coconut green tea -- delicious and refreshing. A couple of days after that, we stopped in and tried the flourless peanut butter brownie, which was very good. Today we went for breakfast and shared the breakfast burrito and the breakfast quinoa. Both were delicious, really tasty and nourishing. We had some specific dietary restrictions that they were super accommodating of, too, so an extra star for that. My only complaint is that there is not really a brunch here -- they serve breakfast till noon and then lunch starts at noon. I assumed that meeting up with friends there at 11 am, we would each be able to go whichever route (breakfast or lunch) that we wanted, but that wasn't the case. I would dock a star for that, but I feel like the previous extra star makes up for it. read more

I really like this place! My friend and I had lunch. I had their cobb salad which was simply delicious! The service was friendly and she may have been the owner but she kept checking on us. I'll definitely be there to try their weekend breakfast next time. read more

An amazing place to get good, healthy food fast! I'm a pescatarian and I go here just for their Mahi sandwich. The people who work here seem to like working here so they are always friendly. If your in my hood come check it out! So worth the stop. read more

I had high hopes for this place but it was a bit of a let down. The service was fine and many of the menu items piqued my interest but the only word that came to mind after my meal was bland. I don't know anything about macrobiotics, vegan cuisine, etc. but it seems to me that regardless of your food lifestyle, everyone wants something tasty. I had the pressed chicken sandwich which came with a small side salad. Sadly, everything from the bread to the chicken, to the salad was completely lacking in flavor. The salad dressing was probably nothing more than olive oil and salt and the bread was too crusty for the chicken which tasted like an herb crusted piece of moist cardboard. I did enjoy the cheese that topped the chicken which was perhaps the sandwich's only saving grace. I also enjoyed the grapefruit soda but we wound up spending $30 for two equally uninspiring meals and drinks and I can't say I'd do it again. read more

Always fresh. Feel good after eating here. Half salad with 1/2 salmon is like 2 meals. Yummy, clean and friendly.

rediculousley expensive place with no customer service. $15 for a burger? you must be kidding me.

When Four opened, I really loved it. Now adays, the food is hit or miss. Once I ordered a soup that had the consistency of mud. Please don't mess up and try to pass it off! I really do want to support this place. Pros: Friendly staff, great deserts -- my favorite is the cashew "cream cheese" cake. read more

this is a tough review for me to write because I am torn...After my first visit I was a huge fan! The healthy and seasonal based menu made my taste mouth water at first sight. I returned within a week and found the menu had changed as the seasonally fresh items and I was once again impressed. The service was quick and helpful though it is the type of cafe that requires minimal service. On my third visit I left telling myself I would probably never return. I ordered the cabbage salad which I had had on a previous visit and loved with a side of the cilantro chickpeas. About 1/3 way through eating my salad, I found a long hair wrapped around some lettuce and avocado at bottom of bowl. It was definitely not mine. As the server came by I asked for a to-go box for my chickpeas. When he asked if I wanted one for remainder of salad, I said I had lost my appetite when I found this hair (I should it to him). His response was, "ok". That is it! No apology. No, "can I get you something else." No, nothing. Once again, the food had always been good...and accidents happen. But the person in the kitchen needs to wear a hairnet or hat and the staff needs to learn how to mediate issues better. read more
