    Avocado Benedict eggs & muffin - Yum
    Christine M.

    In town for LAX and found this place on our way to another breakfast spot- luckily we chose Mid Kitchen instead! Friendly service, cool vibe and extraordinary breakfast choices. We had bowls, Benedicts, sandwiches & avocado toast: all well made, appetizing, and generously portioned. Even the coffees & cappuccinos were delish. Although we don't know the cafe's backstory we gather they're local & have a dedicated base as they greeted walk-ins by name! We'll be back to sample unique luncheon choices.

    Green Superfood Omelet
    Iris P.

    This was a great Turkish cuisine experience! When you check this place out try their traditional Shaksuka! It's wonderful! Also pictured was their green superfood omelet and their steak and eggs they have Turkish coffee as well as regular coffee and you have the choice of non-dairy creamers You could visit this restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have so much to choose from! The service was super sweet and the ambiance is beautiful inside and out and of course we sat on the patio because why not?!:))

    Chicken and Waffle
    Elgin B.

    Sometimes you just need a place to talk. I didn't think much of the Mid when I first arrive to the space. I was looking for a nice spot to get coffee and maybe a meal while my friend and I caught up. I was greeted by very welcoming, colorful staff with great personalities. The interior was nice and comfortable. I wasn't even sure if I was going to eat food because the goal of the day was to make sure that my friend was comfortable. She very much enjoyed her meal. I tried her tea and it was delightful. After the conversation I was a bit hungry so I got the chicken and waffles with a coffee and it was good. Nothing to ride home about but good. I personally like chicken wings with waffles but the chicken breast was cooked well and the meal was decent. The mid is a perfect place for what I was personally looking for, a space to have a conversation over a light meal and it her much accomplished that. I would definitely recommend. The food was decent and reasonably priced. Not a bad choice for brunch with a friend. 3 of 5

    Went here for brunch with mom and the place was packed! We got lucky that there was a table for two. We ordered the Avocado Benedict, Steak & Eggs, and the Cabbage Cucumber Tofu Salad. Would not recommend the Steak & Eggs for the amount and price and the Benedict was a bit hard to cut into, but other then that the food was good, especially the salad! Our server was really nice as well and checked up on customers frequently with plenty of coffee refills.

    Burnt pancakes

    These pancakes. How do they let this out the door? Burnt cookies not too bad. Burnt pancakes, ugh. Their sausage was burnt but not too bad. Potatoes were crisp and delicious. To the Mid: This is the color of burntness.

    Shaksuka and a coffee
    Wes S.

    Heh I saw Shokshuka on the menu which I don't see very often, and they did a real bang up job bringing it in a metal pan that was very hot, but the egg was nice and still liquid yolk, and aspicy sauce. more than I could even eat the coffee is the kind that they keep pouring in your cup refills so then I decided I had to have a cookie, and which they served It warmed up very nice! Friendly, and the owner out helping the server keeping customers happy

    Ever since the yelp event, I have been wanting to take my family here! Covid made it a tad difficult, but I am glad we got to come for brunch today! Everything was delightful! The crab cake my hubby had was excellent! I didn't taste any breading at all! All seemed to be real crab meat :D The green shakshuka I had was a nice twist of the traditional one, which is always my go to if I see it on menu :) I def overate since we also ordered sides and fry bread for my daughter, and I ended up cleaning her plate

    Croffle Plain with whipped cream and maple syrup
    Alexis R.

    Was very pleasantly surprised to find the Turkish inspired food on their menu for breakfast. It's a cute little cafe with very sweet employees. I also appreciated how calm their atmosphere is, allowing for conversation without there being a rush.

    As always, this spot hits it out of the park. It just reopened this past week, and the flavors and hospitality are better than I remember. Shout out to the owners for the keeping this vegan friendly spot open, and to Grace our server for the top notch service!

    Classic French Toast
    Em C.

    Great brunch/lunch spot with a balanced menu of sweet & savory dishes. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and provided us with recommendations based on our hunger level. French toast - great texture and flavor. Not overwhelmingly covered in syrup like some places. Fresh fruit atop. Plenty to split between 2. Buddha bowl - lots of great flavors and different consistencies. Fresh falafel over a bed or carrots, beets (which i normally don't LOVE but in this dish I didn't mine), kale and cous cous. A great, hearty dish that masks the fact it's actually healthy! It doesn't look large in photos but be sure to come hungry if you're planning on getting this. Chicken club - pretty tasty, we loved the bread. Doesn't taste that similar to a traditional club but still a great dish that we would get again.

Blind Faith Cafe has a pretty great selection of things to choose. Prices can be high but that's to be expected and usually it's worth it. The menu includes things like burgers and salads. Bigger than expected to be honest. It's got a lot of room for banquets and parties. There's quite a few tables. A lot of things to like about it. The prices are one thing not to like though. It's about $17 for the cheapest entrees. Many of these are a lot more. I got the Blind Faith Burger. Pretty typical looking. This comes with a choice of a side. She had the Gardein Chicken Sandwich, which is plant based except for the mayonnaise on it. The rest of the menu includes bakery items like cookies and pastries. For sure this is one of the pioneers of vegetarian places around the area. It's closed Mondays. They accept reservations.

    This place is incredibly cute if you're looking for a nice ambiance. It was my first time trying it…read moreout and I loved the small attention to details. There was a live saxophone player and I loved the live flowers they had. Our waiter was extremely nice and took the time to explain the menu as well as their customer favorites. I order a Thai iced tea which wasn't bad but I prefer mine a little thicker and sweeter. It came in a thin tall glass which in theory was not a lot of drink. To start we order the chicken appetizer and fried beef on rice to share and unfortunately I did not snap a pic but these were listed under apps or shareables but the portions were extremely small. As our mains came I noticed that they were also small and each were around $20-$30 per plate. Not a bad thing if you don't eat much but I'm a big bang for buck type of gal. My family came to share and this place is a more fine dining thai restaurant which could explain the smaller portions. We ordered the pad Thai which was alright in my opinion I expected a little more flavor, the aubergine which was tossed vegetables as recommended by our waiter which was also ok not much flavor but beautiful plating though, and the coconut curry which was by far my favorite. If I were to come back here I would order that again, it was a nice light yet complex flavor profile which made me savor every bite. Overall good place for an upbeat fancier meal and I highly recommend the coconut curry braised chicken if you visit. Little pricey but that's just my opinion let me know what you guys think if you visit! Oh and they also give your receipt in a boat which they spin and leave a thank you card once you paid which was really cute.

Mostly it focuses on Thai such as noodles and stuff with coconut. The prices aren't bad for the usually great quality. At lunch things are a bit cheaper. It's the main reason we came at this time. There's also plenty of good vegan and vegetarian choices and lots of spicy stuff or whatever. It's about $12 for a cocktail. There's a good amount of Asian inspired ones. Among these is the Bangkok Mule. This was made with kaffir lime infused vodka. Crisp and refreshing. The food is kind of pricey, which is the only bad thing. It's about $16 for an entree. The vegetarian choices include the Crispy Rice With Iceberg Wedge. A lame name but it was good. This had chili lime dressing, ginger, peanuts, shallots, tofu noodles, and white jelly mushrooms. Good just slightly Americanized Thai food. It's pretty authentic to be honest. The lunch is a good time to come and try some of the recently brought back menu, which has plenty of options for meat eaters, as well as vegans and vegetarians.
