SLUTTY BUN
Marina S.

Love a place that has breakfast all day! The food was delicious and decently priced. We checked in and were about 30th in line, but were seated within about 20 minutes. Waiters were super attentive and we had a lovely time on the outdoor patio

Millie's on Sunset is one of those classic LA spots that delivers exactly what you want on a chill morning. The chilaquiles were legit ..crispy tortillas, perfectly scrambled eggs, that spicy salsa soaking in just right, and all the fresh ingredients. . We also got the French toast with fruit, and it was great: thick slices that were soft inside, topped with fresh berries and banana. Definitely recommended!

Local diner proves what makes this place a Silverlake staple. With charming seating directly on the sidewalk of Sunset Blvd, we loved our time here. Everything was delicious, but the homemade biscuit and the SLUTTY BUN made this place worthy of coming back to. Service was quick and charming as well.

LOX
Ashli A.

Street parking was a bit of a hot mess, but the place was cute, and it was a fun spot to catch up with my friend I hadn't seen in a while! I started off with a latte. I don't remember what kind, but it was pretty good. I went with a LOX plate for breakfast while my friend got a full breakfast plate situation. My LOX was extremely basic, but got the job done. They don't really put much into making the plates look aesthetic, lol, but like I said, they did the job! It's very upbeat and social, so I wouldn't come if you're looking for quiet or to study. The workers were friendly. I probably wouldn't go back, but it was decent. I think the best part about the restaurant for me was how quick we got our food and also how cute the outdoor seating is. If they put a little more effort into the food, I may double back!

SIDE OF TWO EGGS
Ria P.

The exact same as the Pasadena location, but slightly less nice outside seating area since it's on the very crowded street of Sunset. Still not the biggest fan because it's very overpriced breakfast food and the food isn't even the best breakfast food (I make better eggs at home...). Service is super fast though!

USUAL BREAKFAST COMBO
Tiffany H.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience at Millie's cafe! I ordered the usual breakfast combo with a waffle along with a matcha pistachio latte! The matcha pistachio latte was ok. It tasted mainly like milk and pistachio syrup with a hint of matcha. I would skip on ordering that. The usual breakfast combo was decent! The eggs and sausage were yummy! Potatoes were somewhat crispy as well. The waffle was mediocre. It was too batter heavy and tasted more like a pancake than a waffle. Would skip on the waffle and order a pancake instead. Service was excellent. The servers were attentive and met our requests quickly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated outdoors and there were plenty of umbrellas that provided shade. As several others have mentioned, parking is tricky. You will need to find street parking and it is located on a very busy street. I parked close by to the cafe in the neighborhood and walked over.

BLUEBERRY OAT MATCHA LATTE

Ricky made our drinks last week! He was very kind and excited to see us try the drinks he made. 10/10! Thank you Ricky!!

Omelette with gluten-free toast and potatoes
Melissa D.

Your go-to Silver Lake brunch spot with an upscale diner vibe. Most of the seating is at tables on the sidewalk. The staff moves a line like nothing you've ever seen before. You won't wait long to get seated. The menu is HUGE, and there are so many vegan and gluten-free options, including pancakes and waffles. The portions are massive, and everything's delicious. Hungover? Go here. Fam in town? Go here. Catching up with friends? Go here. Just want a fat omelette quickly? Go here. They've got you no matter what.

Popular breakfast spot with good vibes in Silverlake. My friend recommended it so We came here on a Sunday morning it and it was packed with a long line, but they were moving pretty quick so we only waited about 15 minutes for a table for 3. They have a large menu with lots of options (including many vegan options!), and I decided with the Millies Style Breakfast burrito with rosemary potatoes on the side. It was soo tasty, and the service was amazing! Their prices are on the higher side, but they had good portion sizes. I will be back. Definitely recommend coming here for brunch, just be prepared to wait a bit.

First time here! It gets packed QUICK! We came here a hour after they were open & it was already almost full , with a line building. It took us about 5 min to be seated, the table set ups outside are rather close to the next table but get comfy because that's how it is. The service was quick & efficient, we did have to wave down a few people to get drinking water cups & silverware, but I give them grace, they are a popular breakfast spot especially since blowing up n tik tok recently. Silverlake is a trendy hipster area, so I love the atmosphere of dining outside, seeing people interstate with eachother of all kinds & people have their pups with them I just love the vibe. The drinks were delicious, I'm posting this about 2 months later so I forgot the names of the drinks & food but I know I got the Benedict which is my go to. I removed a star because they only serve has browns until 11am and only certain days of the week which was odd? I'm not a fan of breakfast potatoes, I love me some hash browns so I'll have to catch them on a day they're serving them. PARKING is also part of removal of star, it's not easy to get to, I had to look for 30 min for parking space, that's also just silverlake so be prepared for neighborhood street parking, meters, or like I had to.., $20 to park. Kinda annoying so maybe next time I'll just Waymo here instead haha. Definitely will be back tho!

Chilaquiles w/ machaca style beef
Fredy R.

Amazing find! Definitely set a tone for me with Cafe's & the city of Silver Lake. I operate the local buses and having lunch by a place i always pass by was pretty dope. I'm a chilaquiles kinda person and their chilaquiles really hit the jackpot for my craving that day. I wanted breakfast but wanted protein too since it was also my lunch window. I've been upping my Latte game and exploring out of my comfort zones and man, the one I went with was booomb just how the couple that sat next to me described it out to be. The staff is very polite & friendly. The host was pretty cool. He came to check on me and personally seeked for my feedback. You could tell he wanted my experience to hit home. He even complimented me on my way out. I was a retail store manager in my last career so little gestures like that really hit home to me since I always go above and beyond. Really enjoyed the location. The sun was out and it was hot but outside still did it's thing. I've been trying more places and expanding my orders and i could say my tab was worth every single penny. I will definitely be coming back!

Chilaquiles Benedict
Ai H.

Customer service is incredible here, they're so nice and helpful. The seatings are outside, and there's a bathroom for customers inside. Parking can be hard since it's metered, but I was able to get one in the residential area to the right of the restaurant if facing it. The food itself was a good 3.5/5 overall, not anything amazing or something I'd come back for in my opinion. My blueberry matcha tasted like a blue raspberry jolly rancher but the pistachio matcha was good. I thought the chilaquiles Benedict was lacking flavor despite all the sauce. The French toast was a 5/5 tho! And the usual classic, it's a usual so it was good. Didn't take pics of the other foods sadly, but they did look good.

Chimichuri sandwich, the best
Jason P.

Really loved the food & drinks, super yummy and service is quick and with quality. Even when there's a lot of people there make sure to get your food to you as soon as possible. I love the lavender matcha & my friend loves the chai latte she says it's her favorite and the best! Shoutout to the cleaning crew as well that always keeps the space & restroom clean. I have become more a regular here .

Venue was cute and casual altogether. Some folks dressed up a bit some casual. So wear what you want. Where I sat (high top near with kitchen view) was a bit warm but nothing too crazy. I looove cool air though lol. I ordered a smoky seed mezcal cocktail that had hints of coconut and mint, wouldn't order again but I didn't read well lol I'm not a fan of coconut drinks. I just saw mezcal and picked it. I finished it though. I started off with the cornbread and 10/10! The butter on the side had a ever so slight hint of spice that I loved! The blueberry compote on the side was good too but made it taste more dessert-like IMO. Then I had the tomato and stone fruit salad and i think that was my top favorite thing all night! The flavors had umami, spice, sweet, acid, texture....I highly recommend I'm not vegan but I got the sticky maitake mushroom. Verrrry flavorful with all components combined! Not too salty like i saw some reviews mention. I enjoyed it better as a build your own taco with the naan than I did the lettuce cup. But I love bread! Lol. Price was on the high side for this dish though for what you get. Most of the sides were very pricey as well (Ordered half portions to-go). Finished off with the mango sticky rice dessert! I know this is crazy but I almost wish the portion size was a bit smaller. It was SO good! Maybe too big for one person given it has rice, but I finished it LOL.

I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche.

This restaurant is set in the Hauser and Wirth art Gallery complex and since we got there early we toured the front gallery with an incredible assist from a docent named Michael who pointed out the most incredible pieces and steered us to the gallery at the back of the complex behind Manuela's. Both galleries are worth exploring. However, back to Manuela's. Our very friendly server sat us on the large wraparound patio and after my explaining my celiac issues and getting some guidance on their incredible menu, we shared the following after my friend ordered a delicious Sangria while knowing as a lightweight and cheap date I would be having 6 cocktails later, I ordered the Ta Ta Tatiana- Watermelon, ginger, honey, lemon, mint, bitters: Cast iron cornbread, cultured butter, wildflower honey Kusshi oysters, Nantes carrot mignonette Arugula, emerald beauty plum, goat cheese, spiced pecans, aged balsamic Hokkaido scallops, brown butter-bacon vinaigrette, mustard greens The oysters came out first and had a delightful and unusual carrot mignonette. Small and not like Louisiana Gulf Oysters, they were fresh and delicious. Next came the Arugula salad that was tart and tasty as well as a generous portion. The cast iron cornbread was ridiculously so good I joked that I would just order two of them next time. This joint actually makes their cornbread without flour which is sadly rare for me so not only was this a gluten free treat, it was light and just melted in blissful corn flavor. Last came the scallops in a brown butter bacon vinaigrette with mustard greens that was so perfectly prepared these might be the best scallops I've ever eaten, which can sometimes be dicey. With the sauce they could have served blackened, sautéed asphalt and it would have tasted good. Well done to Manuela's all around.
