we stopped in for some brunch on Tuesday and happened to be the first people there lol i feel like there are a ton of cute whimsical cafes/restaurants in the area, but this is a definite must-visit! we might've caught the staff off guard a little bit but everything, including the vibes, was immaculate. the lemon poppy pancakes were out of this world and the salmon benedict really satisfied a craving i've had for the last couple of weeks. can't wait to come back read more

Went to the cafe with a friend. Ordered one smoothie, one juice, one pasta and one sandwich. Ended up with a $88 for food that is decent at best, an underwhelming ambience and mediocre service. Absolutely NOT recommended, especially given other remarkable dining options in Echo Park. A truly regrettable afternoon, saved only by getting to spend time with my friend. read more

I came to Lady Byrd Cafe at 10:30am on a Thursday specifically to avoid the crowds and enjoy a nice Mother's Day brunch celebration with my daughter. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The customer service was horrible. We were told we couldn't sit in the back area with the nicer setup even though there was plenty of open seating available. It immediately made the whole experience feel unwelcoming and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, our waiter never once checked on us to ask if we needed anything. The food was mid at best, the service was crappy, and the overall vibes felt completely off. For a place that's so hyped for ambiance, the hospitality did not match at all. We definitely won't be coming back. We went down the road to super sweet tattoos and coffee and felt better about how we spend our afternoon. read more

Lady Byrd Cafe - Spanish frittata - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Liked the ambiance. Food was terrible and the service was underwhelming. They were basically out of almost EVERYTHING on the food and drinks menu. You would expect an established restaurant to stock their ingredients and supplies accordingly for a busy restaurant day like Mother's Day. The food that came out was lukewarm, some orders incorrect, and all of it looked like cheap diner food. Some of the plates and napkins were dirty as well. It's a shame as the ambiance is cool, playlist was great, but the service and food were a disaster. This place needs a Gordon Ramsay makeover stat... read more

I've been to Lady Byrd Cafe multiple times now and it truly never disappoints. It's one of those places I keep coming back to, not just for the food but for the entire experience. The ambiance is beautiful, relaxing, and just feels like the perfect escape whether you're catching up with friends or having a slow brunch with family. It has that elevated yet comfortable vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. As for the food, everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. My go-to orders are the Luxe Plate, which is a smoked salmon bagel plate that's both fresh and satisfying, and the steak and eggs. The steak is especially memorable... perfectly cooked and packed with so much flavor. It's rare to find a spot that delivers both great food and atmosphere every single time, but Lady Byrd Cafe really does. Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots and always worth the visit. read more

I almost didn't want to share this place... but it's just too beautiful not to. This café truly feels like a hidden forest escape in LA. The moment you walk in, it's full of greenery and cozy, magical vibes--like a little fairy garden tucked away in the city. I even brought my dog, and it made the whole experience feel even more relaxing. We ordered the lemon poppy seed pancakes, eggs benedict, and pasta, and everything was honestly so good. The presentation was beautiful, and you can tell they really care about the details. Even the tea was served in the prettiest teacups, which made the whole moment feel extra special. There's also a hidden outdoor patio area filled with flowers, and it feels like a secret spot you accidentally discovered. Perfect place to unwind, take cute photos, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely coming back especially want to see how it feels at night read more

Lady Byrd Cafe is a literal dream! We sat on the floral patio and the whimsical garden vibe is unmatched. It's the perfect aesthetic spot for a brunch date with the girlies.

We recently visited Lady Byrd Cafe and it's honestly such a cute spot the theme and overall aesthetic are really beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. We arrived right when they opened at 9am, and unfortunately, the service was extremely slow from the start. It took a while just to receive menus, then even longer to get drinks about 30 minutes in at that point. After that, there was another delay before anyone came to take our order. Once we finally ordered, the food also took quite a long time to come out, and when it did, it wasn't hot. We were seated outside, which may have been a factor, but it's still disappointing to receive cold food. By then, we had already been there for over an hour and had an event to get to, so we didn't have time to address the issues. With a bill of $87, you do expect a certain level of efficiency and quality especially since part of dining out is paying for the convenience and service. Overall, it's a lovely place with great potential, but the timing and food quality really need improvement. No one likes cold food or waiting to get staffs attention. read more

This neighborhood gem was a fantastic dining experience for our party of nine. I cannot given enough praise to this place. We dined for lunch on a Sunday. We had a reservation and our wait was not long. One could feel the energy and vibes all the way to the street. When we were brought to our table we passed by numerous really large parties. One in particular had over 30 patrons. Our seating was really comfortable. Rain was expected and we were lucky since there was no covering where we sat. Other parts of the restaurant were inside or covered. Our waiter was really great. Gave recommendations and was really patient and helpful. I ordered the Smoked Brisket Pastrami sandwich. It was a decent size, not huge and really well seasoned and flavorful. It had a tasty unique sauce, not overwhelming, with excellent presentation and served at the perfect temperature. I also ordered the Caesar Salad. It was huge, probably enough for three people (although I ate the entire dish and it was so good). My other guests ordered eight other dishes and everyone was really happy with their meals. This restaurant is nearly hidden but for a small sign. It is behind foliage except for the entrance. It really is a neighborhood place to dine but I'd recommend it to anyone within driving distance. All parking is on the residential streets and we were lucky to find a spot about 75 yards away. Other members of our group parked farther away. It's a friendly neighborhood with several other outdoor dining establishments although this restaurant felt like the best. I highly recommend dining here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

One phrase comes to mind when I think of Lady Byrd Cafe--"hidden gem"! The ambiance makes you think of grandma's cottage meets a whimsical fairy tale garden. The floral plates and decor are a welcome comforting change from the typical neutral based interiors that have overtaken LA interiors. The waiters are adorable and warm with lots of smiles that make this a perfect spot to reenergize your soul. Ok, onto the food. I got the Lady Byrd Burger which came with two patties and fries. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. I'm looking forward to my next visit with friends! read more

While the atmosphere appears appealing for date night or brunch, the service was unsatisfactory. We tried calling for reservation and received an automated message of full inbox. Upon arrival, there was no one greeting us nor signs showing where to wait to be seated. When our host (the only server at 10 AM Saturday) finally sat us, we were not informed of shortages of specialty menu until we placed order. Then we had to check the menu again. The food arrived and tasted without uniqueness. Additionally the price for 1/2 an avocado at $4 and prices for the small servings on each plate were much higher than the quality. The pancake and frittata we chose were not common menu items, yet they didn't have much texture nor amount to enjoy. Would you pay $20 for 2 pancakes slightly mushy and not flavorful? read more

I have been back here a few times since my first visit. It's a fabulous outdoor cafe. They've updated the decor and menus since then which is more beautiful. Honey Yogurt $12 Beautiful presentation! Loved it! Steak & Eggs $28 Served with choice of bread, blueberry jam and butter & Pamolona potatoes Smoked Brisket Pastrami $22 Thinly sliced brisket. One of my favorites! Beef Burger $23 Made with Grass fed beef. Added a sunny side egg to make it a brunch burger. Latte $7 Customer Service is wonderful!! read more

We ate at Lady Byrd Cafe for a brunch date and it was such a great experience. Even though this place is famous for the greenhouses, we actually sat closer to the bar area, and the vibe was still so charming and full of that "secret garden" feel. It's located in Echo Park and just has a really cool, welcoming atmosphere. We decided to do the $33 brunch special, which is honestly a steal for how much you get. I chose the Salmon Benedict for my main the spicy hollandaise was perfect. It also came with silver dollar lemon poppyseed pancakes and French toast with honey cream and strawberries. That blueberry jam on the pancakes was delicious! My husband went with the grass-fed beef burger, which was really fresh with the Lady Byrd aioli, and we also shared the Fettuccine Alfredo. It had chicken and asparagus in a really creamy white sauce definitely glad we added that on. To drink, we had a Chai Latte and a Macchiato, which were both so refreshing. The staff was super friendly, and even sitting by the bar, we had a great view of the whole sun-drenched patio. It's a perfect spot for a slow morning date; we'll definitely be back! read more

I've had this place on my list forever and finally got a chance to come and it was so worth it. The whole restaurant is so whimsical and pretty, such a cute vibe from the moment you walk in. We came for dinner and ordered the chicken panini, bolognese pasta, truffle fries, and cheeseburger. Everything was delicious, but the cheeseburger really surprised me in the best way. So good. We also had an espresso martini and a strawberry margarita, and both were perfect, not too strong, not too sweet, just right. The ambiance is ideal for a breakfast date, dinner date, or just a chill night out. It feels cozy, romantic, and welcoming all at once. The staff was super nice and made the experience even better. Already planning our next visit. read more

Lady Byrd has been on my list for over a year. I was finally able to come out with a friend for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was a little hard to find parking on the street. I was extremely lucky to squeeze into a spot right in front. The restaurant is nestled in a residential area & kind of hard to miss. The restaurant aesthetic was boho chic. It's definitely a nice spot to bring the girls. Lots of photo ops. It was quite slow on a Sunday afternoon, we technically didn't need to make a reservation, even though we had because there was no wait. I ordered the chicken panini sandwich with fries & a strawberry margarita. The margarita had soju in it, not tequila, which was different. The cafe can only sell wine & beer, no hard liquor. My friend ordered a brunch special that came with a Benedict, lemon poppy pancakes, & French toast. My food was ok, nothing fancy. I tasted the French toast and it was very soft but I think it had a filling in it, either that, or it was raw inside. My friend seemingly enjoyed her meal. I'd come back if I were in the area. Next time, I'd probably sit on the patio under one of the canopy's or cutesy tents. read more

12/15/25 BE PREPARED TO WAIT. If you're looking for a cute & adorable cozy & nature bound aesthetics, this place is perfect. The food is mediocre, portions are small & the service is lacking. On a Sunday at brunch time, Hubby & I were surprised we were seated fairly quickly, about 10 minutes. Our little seating area was outdoors in our very own "cage" (goes with the Lady Byrd theme). Each group of customers have their own tent or greenhouse adorned with lights & more greenery under a canopy of trees. There's indoor seating where it has more permanent roofing where the music is louder. We appreciated that our tent was farther from the din of noise. Sometimes trying a new place for adventure can be a good thing or disappointing. Ours is the latter. It took a good 20 minutes for our server acknowledge & to take our orders. I went with the brunch special: salmon Benedict, silver dollar pancakes with blueberry and strawberry compote & French toast, Hubby ordered the bacon burrito w/o potatoes. I wanted to test their regular coffee & as per usual Hubby got the oat milk latte. Amazingly the food & drinks arrived promptly. The presentation was nice. My salmon Benedict was okay, nothing mind blowing but the pancakes were pretty tasty especially with the compote & cream. The coffee was decent & it was actually piping hot. Hubby said the burrito was delicious, the sauce was savory. The server barely stopped by, just in time to clear out dishes. For the price we paid for brunch & the portion, was not proportional. The one thing that really soured the experience was the waiting. I waited for some amount of time just to receive my receipt. With the reviews & aesthetics, I expected a phenomenal experience. Street parking is a gamble, we found one a block away. It was good for a one time thing for the experience, definitely not worth trying again. read more

Ambiance was cute but service and food were both mediocre and underwhelming. Won't be visiting again but was worth the experience

I visited Lady Byrd Cafe about two weeks ago. While the food was decent, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was quite good, I had a couple of concerns. There was only one restroom, which led to an incredibly long wait time. Additionally, the breakfast menu was a bit too sweet for my taste. Because of these factors, I'm not sure if I'll be returning in the future. read more

I dunno. Paid $100 for mediocre food and non existent service. The food was bland, im sure the chicken was frozen and microwaved. The salad seemed like it was pre bagged kit. The ambience is great, but its tough for everyone right now so if you are going to charge so much restaurants need to show up. This was so depressing that its making me rethink eating out. read more

Came here with my friend. Its my second time here. The first visit was a few years back and it was pleasant so I was excited. We tried their Vegan menu and it was actually pretty good! Unfortunately, as a few reviews mentioned- they didn't have everything available. So we had to change our order a couple of times because the items were not available on the menu. The presentation of the food could also be better. It was far from appealing but the flavor was there so I guess I rather good and yummy food over pretty and tasteless haha. We were maybe the 3rd or 4th table there. The service was rather slow and underwhelming. The waitress was nice but they could have been a little more welcoming and the service could have been a little faster. We had the vegan burger. It was extremely delicious! And as a non-vegan I recommend it! The Vegan sausage bowl was my favorite. The flavor was exquisite and of I go back, it would be for that specific dish. We also had the kale salad. It was great but it is also something you can have elsewhere so I want that impressed by it. To drink I got to enjoy the broad-tailed which was pretty good and refreshing. Overall, I may or may not go back. I live far so unless I am in LA I wouldn't make the drive. read more

I'm really confused how this place only has 3.5 stars, I was really shocked to see it, especially with me having a wonderful experience. The Staff was nice, The food was good. Sometimes people sadly just like to find reasons to complain about anything, especially some of the other reviews about Valentine's Day that I saw. I mean, what do you expect? It's Valentine's Day and of course they're going to be busy wall-to-wall with people. This place's aesthetic is really romantic and inviting, so without a doubt people want to be here especially on certain holidays. Date night, or a brunch date is a must here and the beautiful thing about it is that their dishes are reasonably priced. $100 will go a long way here and it did for us. We came at night to enjoy everything. We enjoyed a couple of margaritas and martinis and snacked on some appetizers before dinner was served. I recommend the hummus and pita for starters and the pork and cheese croquettes. But for dinner, we enjoyed their Lady Byrd cheeseburger and creamy shrimp pasta, which really had a nice kick to it. Everything was delicious. This is one of those true hidden gem LA spots and I definitely do want to come back here for brunch next time and I look forward to it. read more

Went for Mother's Day. Not worth the hype. Would not recommend this place for any occasion or reason. For those that praised the ambiance. It's truly meh. Not even IG worthy. The food is subpar. Think Deny's quality food. They had a very limited and fixed menu for Mother's Day and everything tasted and looked gross. Despite a limited and fixed menu, it took nearly an hour to bring the food out. By then they had ran out of items like bacon and sourdough, but didn't even bother to ask if you wanted a substitution. They just brought an incomplete order without what you asked for. And charged $33 for food was cold and tasted bland. I left hungry. Service. Horrendous. They had a rude lady with an attitude as a host. That should have been the tip off. Inside no one cares and it shows. It shows in the way the place is kept -dirty all around especially the bathroom. The plates, glasses and utensils all smell like eggs and look dirty. The servers are just trying their best but also don't care about quality of service. There are better places in LA to spend your time and money. I found the entire experience disappointing and frankly disgusting. read more

Came here for Mother's Day and so many things went wrong. The wait times were crazy for food. Then when it finally came out there was an old piece of gum stuck to the top of my nephews plate. When the staff was told about it, it seemed like no one knew what to do to fix it. When the owner was finally told she meandered around and then brought a cook out to apologize instead of apologizing herself.. The way this restaurant is run is just really unprofessional, disorganized, and disgusting.. read more

Most of the seating here is outdoors, which really adds to the charm of the place. The layout and décor create a unique, open-air dining experience that feels inviting and relaxed. If the weather gets chilly, they have outdoor heaters to keep you comfortable. I came for breakfast and was impressed by the variety of options available. To drink, I had a mocha latte that was rich and flavorful. For entrées, we ordered the lemon poppy pancakes -- absolutely delicious and a must-try, especially with the jam. We also had the classic Eggs Benedict, which paired perfectly and was cooked just right. The service of the staff were welcoming and very attentive. Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying experience. Definitely a spot worth visiting! read more

Such a cute spot for brunch or a cozy romantic dinner. Service was friendly but slow- our server did not check up on us after our food and we had to call someone else for the check. While they seemed busy, it was no early Sunday brunch rush or dinner. They were also out of a lot of items when we went and we weren't told about one of them until after we ordered. The sandwiches we got however were yummy! read more

I used to come here all the time and came back for the first time in about a year. Food was really sub par. Smaller portions and prices went way up. I understand the economics of being a restaurant in LA but the quality was terrible and if I'm going to pay 60 bucks for 2 salads that are the size of appetizers , please make them good. Great memories here but won't ever be coming back. Left the restaurant still hungry and bummed out. Sad. read more

My boyfriend made a reservation at 7PM. We had to wait in line for over 30 minutes (7:34PM) before we were seated. There's no point in reserving if we have to wait with others who also had a reservation. The menu was very fixed and limited which was never stated when reserving. They ran out of a lot things such as regular coke and steak, making said menu even smaller. When the food came, my salmon looked so skinny it's laughable. My boyfriend's steak was incredibly chewy because of the amount of fat that was left in. The person that served us was nice. At least it was served warm. We waited at least 15 minutes for a check and box just for us to go to the bar and have it printed there when mentioned again. When my boyfriend was holding the plate of cheesecake to put in the box, a lady worker just stares at us without saying anything. Give the young man with the yin yang shirt and curly hair a raise or a better position because he was the only one that was fast. We had a good experience before and it sucks that the worst one had to be on Valentines Day. read more
