    This cafe is attached to the hotel, so you'll walk into the lobby first and the entrance to the cafe is right there. We parked on the street nearby, but they do have a parking lot that we missed - not sure if it's free. It's a casual ambiance, good spot to hangout with friends and has plenty of seating indoors and shaded patio seating. Service was fast and friendly and food was yummy. I'd come back here again!

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Iris P.

    Dare I say best chicken Caesar wrap I've had so far? I love that they toast the tortilla to a crisp. The food was good and we got seated right away. Our server was so sweet and passionate as he had created the menu templates so they are really part of the team. It's really cute in the hotel and at the time we went it was free parking as valet was not out yet. Also heard that they started happy hour and also have bottomless mimosas so we'll definitely be back.

    I stayed in the hotel and this was their food option and it did not disappoint! The food and drinks were amazing also it looks so beautiful inside the restaurant. I highly recommend it!

    What can I say! Still good. I come here occasionally for brunch when I can because of my hectic schedule, and every time I do come it does not disappoint. One of the best brunch spots in Ktown. Good Service, good food, and good brunch bevies. Ambiance is vibey, and there can be a wait on busy weekends but overall still one of my top places

    I want to give the place so much more love I bought to mimosa flights and was very disappointed in the champagne choice. Promotions showed a higher quality brand. Service was the highlight. Everyone is very attentive and helpful. This small anquaint cafe and connected to the H Hotel.

    Staff and service are always so nice. Been here 3 times and it's a beautiful brunch spot. I'm coming back to try more items on the menu! So good truly.

    As a restaurant/cafe for Ktown, I would definitely recommend for the parking! Parking is free and valeted for this spot in Ktown! For food, the PORTIONS were HUGE and great! I got the Mac and cheese and it was nice and creamy with a panko crust which added a bit of extra crunch! However, for the California burrito, they had a LOT of potatoes which was really filling! For ambiance, it was pretty loud! However, for service, I raised my hand for about 3-5 minutes and didn't really get service until I flagged down a waiter/server by having direct eye contact with one. TIP: There's FREE parking where you can drive into their parking lot and they have restrooms!

    Nutella stuffed French toast with Strawberry & banana- so yummy!
    Jorja P.

    Perfect brunch spot with friends or even for a date. They have a wonderful menu & everything is pretty flavorful. My favorites are definitely the chilaquiles! Would definitely come back

    Came here for their extended hours launch with my sister and nephew. I was able to catch the Happy hour special (5-7pm) got the sliders, man n cheese and pastrami fries ! So good! Must try! The atmosphere was vibe and the service was amazing. Definitely coming back !

    Buttermilk Chicken & Waffle

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and then I was suddenly in the area! It's casual but the food was good! I had chicken with waffles and it was not dry which happens with fried chicken most of the time and my boyfriend had the buffalo chicken sliders which also were good! And I had the Mimosa flight which you must try as there are so many flavours available. Our waitress was really nice and helped me pick which ones! We will definitely be back

    H Café was always on my list but it being in k town made it not as immediate to try because of the location. Thankfully we got lucky with parking but it is very very rough at times but thats expected for k town lol. The menu had a variety of options but I had heard much about the pancakes and I knew I had to try it which ended up being pretty good! I didn't think the lemonade was really good as described but the service was decent and the ambiance was cute throughout it.

    ORDER country breakfast burrito -- hot sauce, guac, gravy, and sour cream on the side it was honestly just so bland :') the flavor was so light, i didn't really taste anything besides the hint of gravy. i didn't want my burrito to get soggy, so i asked for everything the burrito would be topped with to go on the side. it is super filling. the burger was delicious though! SERVICE soso friendly and accommodating. AMBIANCE there is street parking and valet parking on the side (no one was working valet when i went). outdoor and indoor seating available.

    Chocolate Espresso martini (looks bigger in the pic than it really is)
    Keely G.

    The food is good for the most part... Our experiences have been hit or miss. For example, I really liked the chilaquiles the first time, but the last time, it was way too spicy. The chicken and waffle that a lot of people rave about, left us both underwhelmed. The chicken was sad (looked like frozen Tyson thigh meat), and the waffle, soggy. Orange juice tasted pre-made, not fresh squeezed. They do offer a full bar and custom flavored espresso martinis, which we enjoyed. I've never had a problem finding street parking, but the last time I came, I loaded up the meter, came inside, only to be told they already did last call for food and drinks. 3.5 stars overall.

This past visit I came with a large group and was still seated immediately. I didn't realize just how large it is inside, as I usually am towards the front or on the small front patio.

I ended up paying it(because they leave you no choice), but my biggest issue isn't the amount itself. It's that there was no clear notice beforehand. If a restaurant automatically adds gratuity or service charge, especially for a single diner, that should be clearly disclosed before you order or at least be prominently stated in the beginning. A 20% tip should reflect exceptional service. That wasn't the experience I had. The lack of transparency left a bad impression and felt dishonest. With so many great restaurants in Los Angeles that offer better food, better service, and straightforward billing, I wouldn't recommend this place.

It's the rooftop restaurant and bar at the DTLA Proper Hotel, a very stylish spot with killer north and west views, even with partial diminishment by a recently built residential high-rise. The hotel's cute pool is adjacent to Cara Cara, and hotel guests can order drinks (and maybe even food) poolside from the restaurant staff. Cara Cara has 2 levels, the lower level seems to be just for drinks. There's a DJ here some nights. Cara Cara initially was a small plates place overseen by famed chef Suzanne Goin, who also helmed Proper's then signature restaurant Caldo Verde on the ground floor. Suzanne is no longer, Caldo Verde is now named Cabrillo and serves breakfast only. Cara Cara's menu is revamped and includes larger plates on its varied menu. I ordered 2 spirit-free drinks, Passion Fire and Strawberry Lemonade, both appropriately fruity. I started with the Cara Cara Chopped Salad, which is now kind of Southwestern-ish with corn, jicama, avocado, tortilla strips, queso fresco and a tangy chili-shallot vinaigrette. Very tasty, quite different from the previous chopped salad I had here that had beets and sweet potatoes amongst its ingredients. My main choice was the Golden Hour Burger, quite substantial with cheese, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. The house-made thousand island was flecked with red chiles, a bit too spicy for me. The herbed fries were great. Dessert was a Strawberry Churro Cheesecake Bar, a delicious short-in-height cheesecake atop a traditional graham cracker (I think) crust, topped with lime Chantilly cream, macerated strawberries and bunuelo (churro) crisps. Service was fine. My former regular server at Caldo Verde, Steven, saw me and it was nice to reconnect. Come for the view, stay for the food and drinks. I'd rank their rooftop view better than that at nearby hotels the Hoxton and the STILE (formerly Ace).

Fair enough, except when I checked their website minutes later, there were plenty of open reservation slots for that exact time. Turning away a customer while your own booking system shows availability just feels like poor front-of-house management. Also Google has a feature that tells you if a place is busy or not and for Cara Cara that day it said "less busy than usual." A part of me wanted to booked the reservation just to see what would happen but I decided to go somewhere else. Disappointing experience -- I wanted to try this place, but the disconnect between what staff said and what their website showed doesn't inspire confidence. Might give it another shot with a reservation in hand, but wanted to flag this for others walking in hoping to get a table.

I have been here a few times for dinner but this was first time for brunch. I made a reservation, was asked to confirmed reservation 3x, noted it was celebrating a birthday and gave no preference on seating. I arrived on time, but one of my group was parking. There were a few people milling around and I was greeted with "checking in?" No hello, no welcome, no mention of celebrating and told to let them know when entire party arrived. (This is becoming more common to be seated along with a $25 per person fee if I canceled less than 24hrs. I know restaurants are struggling but come on!) I watched as 'walk-ins' were given priority tables and when our party was complete, she was squeezing in a 3rd chair to a small cafe table right by the pass through door. No asking our preference. When she returned to seat us, I said "you're not putting us at that small table are you?" Her response - "yes...unless you want to sit inside." How was that not a conversation first? A professional would have said "I apologize, where would you prefer to sit? I see you made a reservation, are celebrating an event and we had some unexpected guests for seating options." Perhaps she was having a bad day, or was still reeling from a prior customer interaction but she was NOT up to the standards I equate with Manuela. Go for the food but don't think by making a reservation you get any special acknowledgement.
