    In LA dropping daughter off at her Rave and my wife wanted to come here after seeing it one day but not able to go. So we got here and luckily found a parking spot right away because it does involve street parking and we were right in front. At first we walked around to see everything because they have an area that is specifically for brunch that is quite unique and great. (See Pics) Finally we sat down, and just ordered a couple things to share. Got the Smoked Brisket Pastrami sandwich with Truffle Fries. Also got the grilled asparagus to share as well. My wife also got a Lemon Drop Martini. The martini was very good and tasty. Wife just wanted more. The Brisket Pastrami was really good. The slaw and cheese did mask the taste of the pastrami just a tad but it was so good. The asparagus were cooked to perfection. Not too soft and not too hard. Perfect snap/crunch to them. We decided we will definitely come back on a weekend early so we can sit in the other section so we can feel the vibe there eating Brunch. This little hidden oasis is perfect for a date night or lunch out with you special one. Come here and you won't be disappointed.

    Starting with the location and ambience, I thought this place was super cute. It has a very homey vibe and felt like I was eating in a friend's backyard patio, which I loved. I was also a big fan of the floral decor. Unfortunately, the ambiance was the main plus of the experience for me. Service was pretty slow, and it took a while to locate our server once we were ready to order food. I had the Creamy Shrimp Pasta which was solid, but nothing special. The flavors were pretty simple and felt like something that could be replicated at home. The sangria was ok. Likely wouldn't order this again.

    Brunch in an amazingly beautiful spot with friends... Wait... I mean not just brunch. Dinner too! You know SoCal has such long daylight hours, which means you have plenty of time to enjoy a full meal while soaking in the beautiful atmosphere. This elegant, floral garden-inspired restaurant is just as dreamy during the day as it is at night. Meat lovers, this steak is a must! So juicy and perfectly cooked. And you can never go wrong with a creamy pasta for dinner, right? Oh! Almost forgot... it's super close to Dodger Stadium, so it's the perfect spot to grab dinner before or after a game. Bonus point! Bonus point! Ig: socalhkfoodies

    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.

    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

    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!

    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?

    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!!

    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. What we ordered: * Breakfast Salmon Tart ( flatbread-style puff pastry) * Salmon Benedict * Chopped Salad * Side of Prosciutto * Earl Grey Tea & Cappuccino Everything was delicious and the service was great. If you're in Echo Park and want a beautiful garden atmosphere, this is the spot!

    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.

    12/14/25 An oasis in the middle of Echo Park, so pretty, the aesthetics are darling

    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.

    Fettucini Alfredo. $24.43. Chicken breast, asparagus, white sauce & Parmesan cheese.
    Rathana K.

    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!

I ordered the Orange Mint Latte, Matcha Sparkling Lemonade, Einspanner White, Hibiscus Mint Sparkling Lemonade, and of course, a cortado. I also tried their Wagyu Sliders. Every drink was fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how different each one was from the next. It didn't feel like I was ordering variations of the same drink -- each had its own flavor profile, presentation, and unique touch. The Orange Mint Latte was especially interesting, and both sparkling lemonades were refreshing and completely different from what I would normally order. The Einspanner White was another standout. Overall, it was a really fun variety to try at once. The cortado was also very good. It had a nice flavor, smooth texture, and was easy to drink. Their approach is a little different from a traditional cortado presentation because the espresso and milk are fully integrated together rather than finished with latte art. I actually appreciate that style when it's executed well because the focus is more on getting the espresso and milk completely incorporated into one cohesive drink. The presentation across the entire order was also really well done. You can tell there's thought behind how everything is served and put together, which adds to the overall experience. The Wagyu Sliders were great as well. I think the food side of Archives of Us deserves more attention because they have some genuinely good food options to go along with the drinks rather than the food feeling like an afterthought. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor seating area. I love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic -- there are certain details about the design, presentation, and experience that remind me of coffee shops I've visited in Japan. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, Archives of Us has a lot going for it. A beautiful space, great service, thoughtful presentation, a strong variety of drinks, solid coffee, and food worth trying as well. It's especially nice to find a coffee shop where I actually want to explore the menu beyond my usual cortado. Definitely the type of place I could see myself coming back to once a week.

I explained that Yelp has an "Order" section that directs customers to DoorDash, where a chai is listed as an available item. Instead of simply explaining the situation, he was condescending and insisted that they were not affiliated with DoorDash. The employee making the coffee eventually had to step in and explain that they used to accept DoorDash orders but stopped about a year ago. If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves!

    Fortunately my fiancee and I were in town for the weekend and could catch Kape Lasita. They have a…read morenice compact menu with not too much going on. Since we were trying to eat at as many places without feeling food coma'ed out, we ordered 1 Corn Beef Silog. Calamansi Tonic Espresso and Black Mamba. The Corn Beef Silog was really solid, it was also deep fried in a Panko Crusted outer layer which is their take on a Croquette. We particularly like the crunch it adds to the dish. But yeah it was the corn beef has we were looking for mixed with the good 'ol garlic rice and sunny side up egg. The vinegar they used was a lot stronger than I thought and I think they could do without it. The tonic espresso grew on me, upon first sip, I could taste the tonic and I haven't had tonic before so I wasn't feeling it. Until I mixed it and it got a lot better. What was really cute too, is they have pop up vendors and it was a bread and dessert vendor that are right across the counter. What caught my eye was this apron that was a collaboration between Garden and Seeds x Lasita. It had so many pockets and it went from a short apron to a long one with just a zipper. I bought this for the sole purpose of wearing it as an accessory as Tan/Brown pairs well with black and white clothing. Staff was so nice and helpful when ordering and even inquiring about the apron since there was no price on it. Hopefully we'll be back and can catch them during their dinner service!

    My fiance and I went for their breakfast on a weekend morning and their silogs were amazing!…read more we got the corn beef silog and I love that it has a crispy exterior to it for that crunch. the garlic rice and egg was also solid. drinks: we got the calamansi espresso tonic and black mamba. the black mamba was on the sweeter side. everything came out pretty quickly and we were able to get a booth with no problem. parking: on Sunday the meter is free! but there is also a parking lot next door that is paid.

The parking lot seems sufficient for the area with a fence dividing the lot from the outside. The inside is a brightly lit tea shop with 2 self order tablets on boxy shelves. There is a good amount of seating and free wifi. I ordered a classic thai tea and a green (jasmine) thai tea... at 50% sweetness. The reason I emphasize sweetness level is because of how sweet the beverages are. I love sugar: sweets, desserts, and beverages. 50% is plenty here. At this level the sugar doesn't overwhelm the tea and the two blend well together having nice spiced notes, tea strength, and milky goodness. My first experience as a ChaTraMue left me sugar'd out, but at 50%, I think a good balance has been struck. They do serve their drinks with plenty of ice, so it might be diluted enough if the ice melts. All in all, the thai tea is great if youre cautious with your sweetness. I can see why people like the thai tea, the spices mixing with the high quality tea is really satisfying and refreshing.

On my most…read morerecent visit I was able to actually sit inside the space and enjoy the vibe and unique design of this spot. The service is warm and friendly like my previous visit. This time around, I got the strawberry sesame latte. It was iced and delicious. The drinks really do feel like they stand out here. And the space is just so awesome to hang out in. There's Wi-Fi so I saw a few people working on their computers inside

    Stuck between a 3 star and 4 star review…read more.. But I will give it a 4 star because the coffee was good.... Sooo, started with the parking situation. Can't park in the parking lot, or you will get towed. Signs all over the place that you will get towed immediately.... parking across the street by a park... dirt parking or anywhere on the area. Then cross the street, walk down 1 block to reach the place... OR watch out for traffic and jaywalk. (Dont recommend this, busy intersection).... Feel like they tried to make this spot look old.. Mixture of antique looking seats and chairs... Decor seems a lil off to me... 90s hip hop music playing... When I asked for pastries, I was told they have 1 day old pastries... YES 1 day old pastry.... so they dont sell?? Or could they be 2 days old instead of 1... oh and at full price, didnt mention half off... etc... Got a lemon ricotta bread... for being 1 day old, it was moist and just OK... not big on flavor... Coffee was good... no drip, only americano or speciality drip... Service was nice... no big interaction Just order, pay and they brought my coffee to me.... Will I go back.. nope!!... parking is a hassle and 1 day old pastries, is just not for me.... If you go... Enjoy ...

Plenty of noodles and beef to go along with it + all the sides. I would go back again when I'm around. Very filling and comforting bowl of soup!!! The sugarcane juice was so so good. There's a hint of orange in it for added flavor, and it works perfectly. It's a bit expensive at 7 dollars, but it hit the spot. Honestly, I'm not hesitant to spend 7-10 dollars on a cup of coffee, so maybe it wasn't truly that expensive. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming and may not look as fancy and in order as some more new wave places, but the flavors here can't easily be replicated. Easily some of the better pho I've had in LA. Granted, i was really hungry, so that could have factored into the score. Places like this are what i love so much about Chinatown. The atmosphere inside is incredibly welcoming and there was a steady flow of customers coming for the Vietnamese coffee. I'm sad i didn't get to explore this part of the city during its prime, but im happy places like Gigo's are still around to enjoy and appreciate. Give it a try if your around the area and craving some pho.
