    Tomatoe dish
    Thessa V.

    Love the vibe as a neighborhood wine bar, and the food is really well put together! Services is incredible and I plan to continue supporting such a lovely venue.

    I fell in love today. This place is perfection. Stylish decor, comfortable seating, excellent food and stellar coffee. I just came back from a month in Australia and was looking for a spot in LA to get authentic Aussie coffee, and this place popped up in my search. It's everything you'd want and expect from a Melbourne-style breakfast spot, and I am here for it. Service was fast, coffee was hot and strong, and vibes were on point. I got the Good Morning Plate and a long black, and couldn't have been happier with my choices. They also host events so I signed up for their newsletter on their website. Can't wait to try the Thursday wine tasting!

    4++ recently came into this place, looking for some caffeine and a light snack for a pretty long drive. Ordered one of their cappuccinos as well as one of the fresh donuts they had in the case. Both were really delicious. The vibe in the morning is pretty chill. There's only a few people inside. The folks behind the counter more friendly. We were in and out of there in five minutes, so it's really quick.

    had the cutest brunch at Little Ripper with my mom and sister. This cozy neighborhood spot is an absolute gem. We sat down and the soppersata sandwiches were eyeing me behind the counter so I had to order one and it was fantastic . Our dishes came out and the spread looked amazing. The Turkish egg dish was spectacular. The herbed lebneh was brilliant. It had dill and terregon in it and the 7 minute eggs were so creamy. The Good morning plate was fantastic. The eggs were so fluffy, and the roasted tomatoes was genius. also their latte was so good I got one to go. Safe to say ill be back here very very soon!

    Finally got to try breakfast at this place and I'm glad to say that I will be a frequent visitor! Little Ripper is a neighborhood joint on Verdugo that has both excellent coffee and a great breakfast menu that offers small and regular sized plates. The ambience in the cafe is absolutely charming; they play really soft and mellow music and the inside is both familiar and vintage at the same time. Alot of their interior design has references to Australia, although I am not too sure as to what the connection is. I had the good morning plate with a house drip coffee and both were great! You have to pay up front and then grab a seat wherever; they serve you the food once its ready. Everyone was really friendly, almost like I was being welcomed into the neighborhood. Will have to come back at night, as I have passed by yesterday and the patio looked cute and romantic. Definitely give this place a go when you get the chance!

    Its tucked in a quiet neighborhood off the 2. There's street parking but signs say it's only for an hour. The place is cozy and great for reading/chatting. There's no wifi so I used mobile hotspot for a little bit to get some work done. The drinks were great and came out at a reasonable time. I wasn't super hungry and got a classic Jaffle which was nice and warm - nothing fancy which I appreciated. I liked the vibes with family and friends coming and going. Would love to come for cocktails and happy hour next time.

    Hubby and I stopped by for some coffee but left feeling elated to have had one of the best donuts for a while; the pumpkin spice donut! The inside is so cozy and served delicious coffee, service , wonderful. We're planning on coming in for dinner.

    I had a bountiful and hearty brunch in this place, and I loved it! Their Chai Latte is good! It's my second time trying a good chai latte, and so my heart is happy! I forgot what we ordered, but here is a photo. The place has a beautiful modern mid-century interior. The bathroom is clean, and the staff is accommodating. I will come back here soon!

    What a fun, delicious & adorable cafe. The menu isn't extensive, but there are more than a few great options and really appreciated that they have GF bread too. Very helpful and kind staff too.

    While in the area I stopped by to get a cup of coffee. A cute little cafe serving food, drinks and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I got a cold brew with milk. It tasted ok but I would like to try other drinks and their food. I'll be back soon to do that and update my review. Customers service was friendly.

    spanglish brekkie sandwich
    Sophie T.

    Came here for brunch with some friends on a Saturday around 11am. The space had a cozy vibe inside, and the patio offered plenty of seating with a dog-friendly atmosphere. You order at the counter, and the staff brings your food and drinks right to your table. It did take a while for the food to come out, but we were enjoying the company, so it wasn't a huge deal. While the prices felt a bit on the higher side, the overall experience was pleasant. My breakfast sandwich was tasty, though I would've loved a side to go with it. Still, it was a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy a slow weekend morning.

I thought that they possibly had a happy hour, but either they stopped it, or they didn't advertise it. I think a happy hour would help draw a bit of a crowd and get more people there. They have a good selection of spirits and a handful of beer on tap. Overall, it was a fine visit for a drink, but was not very memorable or anything that would justify 5 stars. I'll probably try out somewhere different next time before heading to dinner. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the over ambiance is fine. Not too loud and not too quiet. Service was nothing more than asking what you want to drink and then bringing it to you. No recommendations

Not a big deal, maybe just a gap in expectations, and an FYI if you're in a hurry.

Glassell Park is a hidden neighborhood in Los Angeles, anyway, and if you don't know what you are looking for, you might zip right past W&S, as we did. Parking is hit and miss, but there are side streets and you will find a space if you give yourself an extra 15 minutes before you come. The neighborhood is mysterious to me, sort of pricey grunge & hipster, iykwim. But! Once you are inside, you are in a completely different world. Bright, clean, genteel, muted, with dappled sunlight dripping through various apertures and alighting in a soft glow here and there on shining metal tables. It's beautiful. Some catchy upbeat contempo-pop music streamed steadily at just the right volume overhead. I found myself resisting the temptation to get up and dance. There are several rooms from which to choose, but I wanted to be seated on the wine-red suede banquette that gave me a view of the whole restaurant and out onto the tree-canopied street. From the time we arrived to the moment we left about an hour later, we were showered with warm smiles and attentive service. And the food? Exquisite. See my pictures. It was hard to choose. One tiny disappointment was they were out of the biscuits that I wanted to start with, but I enjoyed the crusty tender Clark Street bread slices served with warm creamery butter instead. It only got better from there. The two bowls we ordered were filled with fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection, topped with an egg prepared as we requested, i.e., over medium. The portions are modest and it was all so good, we didn't take anything home. We ordered coffee and were brought two tall steaming mugs of Americano, smooth, dark, and delicious. Best of all was the Lemon Lavender cake, a seasonal specialty. Honestly, it might be one of the best, moistest, most flavorful and elegant cakes I have ever had. So fantastic, that I just ordered some lavender buds (if I don't collect them from our garden) to replicate it at home. I don't drink much alcohol but if I did, I would head here for one of their experiences or tastings -- they have a formidable list. Check all this out. And hurry if you want to have Lemon Lavender cake.

Let's start with getting there: there is no parking. We circled the block about 10 times before finally finding a spot. Thank goodness we arrived 30 minutes early, because otherwise I would have just gone home. They charge for reservations, and cancellations within 48 hours come with a fee per person, so honestly, I should've just taken the loss. Then, somehow, the evening got even stranger. When I returned to my car, someone was literally spraying a garden hose while watering their plants and my freshly detailed Mercedes-Benz was completely soaked and covered in water spots. Not the restaurant's fault, but at that point I had to laugh because I was already wondering, "Is this part of the Wife and Somm experience?" From the moment we walked in, the confusion continued. The restaurant wasn't even busy, yet we were told to wait several minutes before being seated. The photos online make this place look like a beautiful, elevated dining experience, but in person it felt completely different. I kept thinking, "What exactly did I just walk into?" The food was the biggest disappointment. We ordered the peach dish, which was nearly $30, and I honestly couldn't believe what arrived. It was essentially half a peach with a strange berry-colored sauce on top. I'm not even sure what the sauce was supposed to be--it looked almost like a yogurt-based strawberry sauce, but it was completely bland. The menu made it sound like a thoughtful, elevated dish, but it was literally peaches, onions, and sauce. I could have stayed home, cut up a peach, and poured something over it for the same experience. The wax beans were equally confusing--basically just beans with what looked like paprika sprinkled on top. No real seasoning, no depth, no flavor. For a restaurant at this price point in Los Angeles, it was shocking. The service only added to the experience. When we asked for the peach dish without onions, our server seemed completely confused by the request and said she didn't know and would have to think about it. It was a simple modification, yet it felt like nobody knew what was happening. Then it took about 30 minutes to get change back for a $100 bill on a roughly $60 check. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this. I genuinely have no idea how this restaurant has a 4.4-star rating in Los Angeles. I've been to a lot of restaurants, and my parents owned a restaurant for 35 years, so I've experienced my fair share of dining. I can confidently say this is at the bottom of my list of one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had.
