Minestrone and Caesar salad. Came with delicious bread sticks
Carlo P.

In the area for work and wanted to find something walking distance. What a gem! Small place but perfect for small groups or just me. Excellent service, quick and pleasant. Had the Soup & Salad, $10 out the door. The minestrone was delicious and the Caesar refreshing. Don't know but came with delicious garlic bread. Will be back when in the area.

Melrose Pasta

The portion sizes for pasta were amazing for the price (12-13$ for per entree including sides for many items). The pastas were perfectly cooked, and the sauces were rich and creamy. Everything, especially the seafood in the Fettuccine Milano, was extremely fresh. Even with the busy lunch hour, Ana gave us great service and brought our food out fast. We'll definitely be coming back to try the rest of their entrees!

Salmon salad
Heather S.

The office brought in Melrose cafe for lunch and it was well received. The menu has a lot of variety at reasonable prices. I had the salmon salad, which was very filling. So many greens. It traveled well and maintained its freshness in their to go packaging. It's a good basic lunch location.

Chicken Fettuccine

I've been going to the place for a year now and I love it. Very great service, I love their pastas, and affordable!

Rosemary Chicken
Ashley R.

Looked at the reviews when ordering Postmates and decided to try the Rosemary Chicken Breast. I added two sides: Fettuccine Alfredo and Steamed Broccoli. All for $12.00!!! I paid under $20 for lunch and tipped my delivery person. I absolutely loved the crosshatch grilling method. My food was delicious and it hit the spot. I had leftovers for dinner. I will try another lunch option. The minestrone soup seems like a good option and a Cesar salad. The food is satisfying and I'm able to treat myself at a reasonable cost (especially in Hollywood).

Cook irate

I went inside to have a soup salad and burger. As my food was being prepared I walked to the window and noticed the lady rinsing off the silverware with just water. She didn't use any soap and stuck the silverware in my soup and salad. Also the cook wiped his sweat off of his head and continued to make my sandwich with no gloves on. I'll be contacting the health department. Also the cook got really irate. He also told me to leave and fanned me off with his knife after I asked for my money back. I won't come back...

Crab Burger, Fettuccine Milano, Chicken Parmigiana
Namploy G.

This place is a culinary gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and not only for the incredible flavors but also for the great value you offer. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Keep up the fantastic work! My favorite plate is Fettuccine Milano. So Obsessed!

Ceviche Tuna salad. Really good. Will come back. Thanks again!!!
Tony G.

This ceviche salad was bomb. Definitely worth the try!!! Will come back again for sure

Do they have restrooms for customers?

Is this Edgemont address correct? All of a sudden this pops up as a restaurant near my house pretty sure it's wrong. Website says it's on Melrose and western.

Hi Noel! Yes! we are at 1308 N. Edgemont st, Los Angeles CA 90027. We are not longer making business on Melrose Ave, it seems we are close to you that's why you phone detect…

Yes yes yes! I think I found my new favorite dessert spot for the summer! These Korean shaved ice…read moreare where it's at! They are perfectly light, and sweet and packed with flavor! You don't feel like you're eating shaved ice! You feel like you're eating a fluffy cloud! When you walk in, you are greeted by kiosks where you place your order. You don't have much interaction with the staff other than than they calling out your number when your order is ready Only downside is they were playing music way too loud! The store itself had maybe 1-2 other parties inside... but the music was too loud we practically had to yell at each other to MAYBE hear the person right next to us. I definitely was not a fan of that vibe. The dessert itself though was phenomenal

After a delicious lunch, my niece and I were on a mission for desserts. This location of Oakobing…read moreis in Koreatown was within walking distance so we decided to check it out. For those driving here, we did notice it was connected to small parking structure. Upon entering the front, there were 2 kiosks. We had no interaction with staff. There was no customization with the selections and there was no one to ask. For instance the mango shaved snow came with the melon. I wanted the strawberry shaved snow with the melon balls but they didn't have that option. When you order additional toppings, they leave it on the side. Not visually appealing at all. My niece and I shared the Strawberry Shaved Ice ($18.99) and added Mochi ($2.50) and Melon Balls ($4.25). After you order from the kiosk, you seat yourself and they'll call your number when your order ready. I really like their shaved ice here because the ice is creamy and flavored before they shave it so it's extra flavorful and creamy. It's just really expensive for what it is and especially pricey when you want additional ingredients. Most other shaved ice businesses will allow multiple ingredients for a portion of the cost. One thing that was weird is how it came in a plate instead of a bowl shaped container. Eat quick and make sure it doesn't tip over. I'm so torn because I like the product after the addition of more toppings, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. Also no staff interaction and lacking customization makes my experience as a customer frustrating and limited. Not sure if I would come back.

They have chairs and tables for you to hang out and eat/drink what you purchased. There's also just benches if you wanna lounge. I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed. As for the drinks and food. What we've had here has always been good. Best to eat their Croffle and baked goods there. Although Matcha is not for my liking, I'm more for their Taro Drink. B says the Matcha here is one of the better ones she's had. I have to agree even their Matcha Ice Cream is good. We get is the Matcha Croffle + Ice Cream, Matcha Einspanner, Taro Einspanner, and their cakes. Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks. So that's something Cafe Upper should train all staff. Especially if people have food allergies.

I'm from the Bay Area but I've been to Cafe Dulce several times. My wife and I really like their Hong Kong Tea Latte and their Matcha drink, as well as their various donuts and baked goods. In the morning rush they can be a little busy but the staff work hard. On a recent visit I saw people eating their steak breakfast burritos, so I ordered one for myself and a coworker. The burritos were reasonable size, the steak was seasoned well, and the breakfast burrito had potatoes in it (I only like breakfast burritos that have potatoes/hash browns/tots in it). Keep supporting the classics, not just because they've been around for a while, but because they have strong products and service.

Mochi Twist ($5)-- Nice and dense mochi texture? I guess it's hard to describe but it's not hollow and airy like a typical donut. There's some chew to it. And it's not too sweet! Blueberry Roti ($4)-- Flaky crumble on top and blueberry jam?? YES YESSSS. I liked this so much I'd definitely go back for it. Blueberry jam is so underrated and it's rare to find it in a pastry! Makes for a good sweet lil treat. Hot latte ($5)-- Perfect!! No complaints. Not too milky, not too light. Good ratio. I was actually kind of worried ordering a latte because not every place does it right but it's good here! Iced blueberry matcha ($6?)-- I see lots of good things about this drink on here but ooooooof... it missed the mark and by a LOOOT too. It was green sweet cereal milk. Where's the matcha? Where's the blueberry? It was so confusing because I see the green and I know I ordered matcha... but it's just sweet milk! And it's not even blueberry flavored milk. Did they forget the blueberry jam? Syrup? Whatever they use? Because it just tastes like the milk after a bowl of Frosted Flakes or something like that. Very sad, very disappointing. Ended up tossing after a couple sips. ANDDD for those matcha purists this is NOOOT the place for you! They have it pre mixed in a milk gallon. So we just saw green milk coming out of a gallon into this cup like yeppppp ok expectations immediately lowered. Anyways, hot latte is good and the 2 pastries I got were good! Steer clear of the matcha!!!

Personally, I don't like that style, I was hoping the original would change that for me! Long story short, I didn't like the Walnut Chocolate Chip. I personally just don't like that style still, so I'll chalk it up as a "me" problem. The cooked part was good. The Rocky Road was cooked through. It was an amazing baked good with good flavor and add-ins. Between the roasted almond slices and fudgey chocolate chips, I was enjoying it immensely. A highlight of my day for sure.

It's relatively busy but the line moved swiftly. The Larchmont store was pretty lively with the crowded and colorful wall deco! It's pretty fun to see that they came up with more seasonal items lately and most of them nailed it well when they came to cookies. Previously the lemon one and the most recent was the Raspberry Pistachio which I was impressed by as I just fancied sweet and refreshing combo of white chocolate and raspberry. The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven. The Cookie Milk Latte was actually the main reason bringing me here, yet I was bit let down by it as I was expecting more malty cookie flavor in the drink. I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.
