Garden Cafe - Menu - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is hard to find since it is in a big business building on the corner of two busy streets, Bundy & La Grange. There is also no sign for the Cafe. outside that I could find. I drove past it, parked, and followed Maps to get there. Worth it. Tiny Cafe with fresh food. I had a tuna & avocado panini that was delicious and a cup of regular coffee. The man at the counter was exceptionally nice and polite, and my food came quickly. It was also very clean. I'll be going back and recommend. read more

Highly Recommended Chinese Chicken Salad~A Perfect freshness and flavor meal with under $10!! I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Chinese Chicken Salad, and it was nothing short of amazing! The combination of crisp, fresh greens, tender juicy chicken, and crunchy wonton/almond created the perfect harmony of textures. The home made ginger dressing tied everything together with a delightful mix of tangy, sweet, and savory. It's perfect meal for lunch,you must-try! read more

Luncheonette [luhn-chuh-net] noun, a small restaurant or lunchroom where light meals are served. Hungry people listen up. Garden Café, a family owned, service oriented business is there for you. No office building/complex should be without a resto like this, especially for peeps too unmotivated, sleep-deprived, just plain lazy and or all of the aforementioned to stop at a grocery store to grab a pre-fab let alone ingredients to actually prepare such the night before. You can't go wrong here. The Egg Salad Sandwich http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-cafe-los-angeles-7?select=ZE_3ZN6JxkwDAIF_pqj55w#ZE_3ZN6JxkwDAIF_pqj55w is fresh, precisely diced and flavorful on toasted sourdough add lettuce, tomato, onion, call it lunch or breakfast, depending what kind of all-nighter you're coming on, or off of. Texan Burger http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-cafe-los-angeles-7?select=ZE_3ZN6JxkwDAIF_pqj55w#T3zyBfSWYnaJimOs_t0RFg is WAY more flavorful than any burger variety at Fat Burger, competitively priced like all the fare. My friends raved so about the Caprese Sandwich http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-cafe-los-angeles-7?select=ZE_3ZN6JxkwDAIF_pqj55w#YzLPx1WRPo_nE95SICJR_Q and Turkey Cranberry Panini http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-cafe-los-angeles-7?select=ZE_3ZN6JxkwDAIF_pqj55w#jVTLEs_ALsQKj34PyiY3Nw that I was not allowed even a bite. I'm a fan who WILL be back! read more

Two coworkers and I came here by chance from visiting one of our clients. We grabbed a quick snack here in between meetings. It was great. Since we only had limited time to eat, so I only ordered a half sandwich. I ordered the smoke salmon and it was so delicious! It has wasabi in it which it's new and interesting. But one star down for the slow service and a bit pricey for just half a sandwich. Other than that, I would love to go back to get the smoked salmon sandwich again and enjoy the entire thing while not needing to worry about the time! read more

Great little spot for a quick bite to eat! The place is run by a Korean family they are super nice and quick! My favorites so far are the BBQ chicken quesadilla and the Korean BBQ bowl they only have that on Mondays! Can't wait to try more of the salads especially the taco one! The Harvest salad is yummy too! Big portions, fresh and very affordable. read more

Burgers and sandwiches are pretty good. Especially the roast beef. I do however wish they would vary the daily specials more than the 3 or four chicken dishes they have. Brian the owner is really nice and has great customer service skills. read more

The Good This is probably one of my favorite cafes. Since it's close to work, I come here at least once a week. -The food here is amazing and they have at least 3 different specials everyday. The price is very good for the portion you get. My favorite is Korean BBQ pork with rice and vegetable, which comes with salad and soft drink. It usually takes me 2 meals to finish the whole thing, and it's only $7.99. And if you decide you don't want something from the combo, he will take part of the price off for you. -It's owned by a Korean family, and unlike many resturants in K-town, they are super nice and friendly. - There is a sit down area where you can enjoy the food, and they do delivery also The bad - They are only open Mon-Fri from 7 am- 4pm - Don't go around the lunch, it's pretty packed. And if you don't want to wait, call in to order first. read more

How have I worked down the street from this place for four years and just now found it? Garden Cafe is located on the bottom floor of a large office building that houses KSCI Channel 18 and a bunch of other businesses. The two counter folks I met on my first trip were a couple of middle aged Korean guys. They were very kind and humble. I ordered the Turkey Burger which comes with garden salad, potato salad or (I think) soup. Having not eating all day, I chose the potato salad. The turkey burger is pretty straight forward. Lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, mayo, mustard and a thin patty that tastes like a hot dog. You can of course sub out any of those ingredients. The potato salad came in a small Styrofoam bowl and was kind of unexpectedly sweet. They have two Soups of the Day here that I'll probably be back to try. Not sure about the parking arrangement, but if you work nearby, it's a quiet, friendly place to eat a meal. read more

Located on the bottom level of a large business building on Bundy, and tucked into the left side of the entrance (from the parking lot), this café is a common go-to for lunch for my coworkers and I. It is family owned and sort of a mom & pop kind of environment. They have different specials everyday. So far the ones I've tried have been the Korean bbq & the Taco Tuesday salad bowl. Both are HUGE portions and delicious. But in all honesty this place is a hit or miss. The quesadillas & burgers I've had here were not tasty whatsoever so I've kind of given up on trying new things from here and just stick to what I know instead. Cost is also decent compared the local over-priced restaurants in the West LA area. read more

Can't beat the customer service here. The guy at the register is always so kind and grateful to be taking your order. It's refreshing. My favorite item is the tuna melt panini with avocado. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Today I tried their soup for the 1st time, which was sweet pea (it changes daily). I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it's vegetarian friendly and it was actually super delicious and filling. They also have drinks, muffins, protein bars, smoothies, chips, candy, nuts and various other offerings to satisfy your mid-afternoon cravings. Be warned that this place is usually busy during peak times so I suggest calling at least 10 minutes ahead to cut down on the time you'll be standing off to the side waiting. Sometimes it doesn't look busy but don't let that fool you because they deliver so there could still be a lot of orders ahead of you. Enjoy! read more

Super nice staff. Good prices. Great selection. Very convenient. It's inside a large office building, walk straight through the main doors and take a right before the elevators. read more

Awesome. Serves a lot of the Fox and network TV people in the area. Just happened to find it as I had my car at Martin dealership and wanted breakfast. They were super fast in service, very nice, and the food was good. read more

This place is great. Highly recommend the bbq chicken quesadilla. All of the sandwiches and smoothies are good. The place is basically a one stop shop for all things you can need. Brian at the counter is extremely friendly, too! read more

This place is delightful. Consistent quality and reasonable prices. And so friendly. It's a working person's best friend for a no-fuss workday lunch. read more

Very inexpensive, wide snack selection and very fast / friendly / family run service. Great to stop to grab something quickly.

Great place to eat! The service is fast and they make their sandwiches well. Since I work in the building, it's also close by. Not expensive at all, and they make a mean ham and cheese sandwich (which you never realized you could improve) read more

Great little family-run business. Not luxurious but you can get a quick bite for lunch if you're in a hurry and don't want to venture too far out in the area. Service is great and they do have a good selection of items for the size and place. read more

I have working in this building for 10 years now and as others have mentioned...we've been through A LOT of different owners. Brian is by far the best and I am so happy to see that others feel the same. He is friendly and accommodating - will gladly make off the menu requests and substitutions with a smile. The food is consistently good - from the basic sandwiches to the daily specials. Sadly - we will be moving soon and the consensus in our office is that the thing we will miss the most about this office space is Brian and the Garden Café. read more

This cafe is located in the lobby level of an office building, which is super convenient if you happen to work in that office building, which luckily, I do. They have a lot of really yummy foods, like sandwiches and burgers and other assorted items, plus a breakfast menu, and smoothies, and coffee. They also have a bunch of snack items for sale, as well as all kind of drinks, and even ice cream! The family that works there, and owns it, is super nice and very helpful. read more

I had lunch there today. I had the Mediterranean wrap. the service was excellent and the food was really good!

Lindsay our server contributed to making this a 4 star. She was checking in at the right times and her recommendations were on point. I order the artisan grilled cheese pastrami with steak fires. My girlfriend orders the chicken skewers and we decided on adding a bottle of wine. Both dishes were delicious. The bottle of wine seemed like a $5 bottle that was sold at $26 (salmon creek 2012). A glass was about $7, so it made sense to buy the bottle. That said, knowing bottles are always inflated, this just seemed a bit much. We will be back for the service and food, just not to drink. read more

Stoked to find this little gem after a meeting on the west side. Like the other reviews stated, it's a family run business, the food is super delicious, homestyle, and with quick and very friendly service. Nine times out of 10 I will always support a family run operation! They even have suja kombucha and a full coffee bar. Definitely recommend! read more

Thank God for Garden Cafe! I work in the same building as this cafe, and I am soooo thankful because it has saved me in a lot of emergencies... hunger emergencies. Sometimes I am too busy to eat breakfast or pack lunch... so I end up going to Garden Cafe on a whim. I tried almost everything on their menu. My favorite is the cobb salad and roast beef sandwich. They also have daily specials, including Korean BBQ plates/wraps, taco salads, fried shrimp, and even spaghetti and meatballs. Breakfast burritos are good, too... I love the way they cook their bacon - extra crispy! The owners - Brian and his family - are always so friendly & professional. Overall, I feel blessed that the cafe right below my office is amazing. Otherwise, I would be forced to choose between leaving the building to eat during my busy schedule, or starving. Keep up the good work, Garden Cafe!!! read more

The prices are so reasonable . I have tried the ice chai latte and it's amazing also the tuna sandwich is delicious. I used to work right around the corner and that was the go to place to eat some great food read more

I work at Fox 11 across the street from this lovely cafe. Since working here the past 6 years, I've seen 4 different owners & cafe's at this location. The first, was Reva, a kind hearted Russian woman, with lots of goulash dishes. Needless to say, one day during the downed recession, she was told by the building management that her lease was not going to be renewed. She was so upset, she took everything and the kitchen sink... I did miss her for a long time..and I hear she has a restaurant up the coast not too far.. A few more restauranteurs tried to make this their own afterwards, yet nothing took, until Brian and his awesome family came to Garden Cafe!! They have amazingly delicious & fresh food, and even serve breakfast until 11:00 am! They are fast, efficient and have really fair prices, I love this Cafe! They do close early, I think 4pm, but if you work or live on the West Side, it is the Best! :) read more

You don't expect a cafe in an office building to to have really good food, but it does. It is just as good of not better than most lunch places in the area. read more
