    Exceptional drinks! Exceptional lux. Exceptional service, exceptional ambience exceptional! You don't take this out

    Avocado Toast with Poached Egg
    Amanda R.

    Very expensive! Two slices of toast with a poached egg, a cold brew, and a black Americano cost me $65 before tip! Food quality felt low for the price- avocado seemed like a spread from a bag, very thin layer, poached eggs were hard all the way through. If I paid 40-45$ for this breakfast I'd be less disappointed, but this ran me almost 80 bucks once I tipped.

    Bunny Hop , Sweet Spring
    Kevin R.

    Always drove by the spot and have been wanting to try it! Pleasantly surprised and worth it. I tried some of their spring menu drinks which included the Bunny Hop and Sweet Spring. The Bunny Hop is a white mocha strawberry latte and it was delicious; the strawberry added sweetness and freshness. Sweet spring is a butter pecan caramel latte and it was good coffee with slight notes of butter pecan. Service was great , I was allowed time to look over their extensive menu as it was my first time. Drinks and food came out fast. The ambiance is great , way bigger inside than I thought and nicely decorated. Plenty of seating inside with some seats outside. Overall , loved it and would come back to try their sandwiches!

    Inside

    Really great spot in Burbank with ample, comfortable seating to work in. Coffee was fantastic. I got a Brie toast as well with apple and caramelized onion and it was top tier. Staff could be a bit friendlier, but overall a good experience

    Chai Latte and half Half Sandwich w/ Souphalf
    Jennifer M.

    Love the chai latte and half soup/half sandwich options! Great ambiance and customer service. Kitchen staff delivered my food and offered to pick it up, nice gesture even though there's a plate drop off option. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Really enjoyed my time eating, drinking and reading my book there.

    Interior

    I adore this place. Service is great and quick depending on the line, but they hustle! More importantly they're nice. Interior is hip. Coffee is good. Food and pastries are delightful. Sit inside and plug away on your laptop or sit outside with a friend and enjoy the sun.

    croissants

    Local burbank breakfast lunch spot. I love their pastries - almond croissant, muffins - very unique flavors. Don't even get me started on the cookies - so good! You order at the front counter and are given a number if you are dining in, they will deliver your food directly to your able. They will also bus the table after you finish eating. Love. how many neighbors around magnolia area, gather here, on this morning you could see several friends catching up over coffee and some food. Servers are nice and the space is very opening.

    Caprese salad & Hibiscus tea! Kettle chips on side.
    Tarabud J.

    Oh, this place is a gem! I love the coffee, the Hibiscus tea, the food, and everything about the ambiance. It has that classic Paris Bistro vibe--- Good food and good coffee. I had the caprese salad this time around, with a side of their yummy in-house kettle chips. So addicting. I usually get a coffee here, and they never fail to make the perfect cup, whether it's iced or a hot mocha. The staff is always friendly and grounded in that way that makes LA so interesting. The neighborhood is the best, with cute boutiques and my favorite improv theater, The LA Connection Theater. Yes, I perform there sometimes. :)

    Laura F.

    Stopped by for a morning latte to go and it is so cozy and great for working and relaxing, very inviting atmosphere. My favorite is their almond croissant, but all their fresh pastries and coffee are delicious . I also ordered breakfast burrito for later. Decided to try it when I got home and everything blended perfectly the cheese, potatoes and eggs, amazing.! Their staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience wonderful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, like a cozy escape in Magnolia Park. A hidden gem with amazing drinks and food. It reminds me of the reason why I keep coming back.! They have good quality, food & coffee.

    Drink were so refreshing and we were grateful for the midday pick me ups. Huge selection that makes me wanna come back and try more. Shout out the peach cream drink

    Are there outlets to plug in my laptop?

    Yes there are scattered outlets underneath the benches on the wall. It just requires you to bend under the bench and squeeze it in sometimes.

    Are there gluten free breads/wrap options?

    They do have gluten free bread that you can sub for the sandwiches. The spinach wraps are not gluten free though. I highly recommend the avocado toast on the gluten free bread!!

We chose Castaway for the occasion, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks to our server, Tyler Boss. From the moment he introduced himself, it was clear that Tyler genuinely loves what he does. His positive attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail made our entire evening feel effortless. He was kind, helpful, attentive, and made every guest at our table feel welcomed and taken care of. What stood out most was how much pride he takes in his work. It's rare to come across someone who not only provides exceptional service but also expresses gratitude and enthusiasm throughout the dining experience. Tyler elevated our dinner to a level that felt comparable to a high-end steakhouse. Castaway is incredibly lucky to have someone like Tyler representing their restaurant. He played a huge role in making such a meaningful day feel special and memorable for both of our families. Thank you, Tyler, for your impeccable service and for helping make an important milestone in our lives such a wonderful experience.

The surf and turf deviled eggs were kind of bland, and as someone from the South, I take deviled eggs seriously lol. Steak came out more medium well than medium rare, but still had good flavor. Lobster potatoes and crab cakes were just okay. Biggest surprise of the night was the cornbread. Easily the best thing I had. Overall, I'd still definitely recommend it. Great atmosphere, amazing views, and just a really fun LA dinner spot.

We've been doing that for a few years now, so that should tell you something right there. Our order is fairly consistent: we each start with a mimosa that comes in a highball glass, so one is usually all we need. Next, we share an order of kimchi biscuits (you get two). So delicious! Packed full of kimchi, bacon and cheddar cheese, it's a nice combo of flavors that play well together. The interior is usually soft and warm, with a nice crunchy crust. Top that with a smatter of the cinnamon butter that it comes with...yum! Our choice of entree varies, anything from avocado toast, to their kale and seaweed salad or any of their other selections they have from their brunch/lunch menu. On this outing, my friend and I both opted for the bibimbap. I opted for the pork bulgogi while my friend got the chicken version. It comes with a generous amount of carrots, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts, and is topped with a runny, sunny side up egg that serves as an excellent sauce when you mix everything together, along with the gochujang sauce. We upgraded and got it with brown rice in the hot stone bowl. Worth it! The regular bibimbap is good, but when you mix in the crunchy crust that comes from the bottom of the stone bowl, you get an additional texture that makes the dish really stand out. The flavors already come together nicely, and the crunchy bits just enhance the experience. For dessert, we like to share the "lemon pie", which is actually a scoop of lemon gelato that comes in a glass that also includes graham crackers, topped with toasted marshmallows. A nice way to end the meal. And the staff! We usually either have Justin or Ann as our server, but everyone there is super friendly and helpful. They are consistently good at checking up on you and making sure you have everything you need. Just another 5 star reason of why we keep coming back!

The nachos were made perfectly with the chips being thin and crispy. They used a couple different cheeses and the jalapeños were a nice touch. Definitely ordering it again, I can do without the chili cheese fries. It was good but it wasn't amazing. Their bread pudding was HUGE and I can see why it's one of the popular items here. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft and gooey in the inside. Morrisons is definitely a fun place to be. Perfect to enjoy happy hour, catch the games on, and hang out friends. They have plenty of seating inside and outdoor with heat lamps. They are dog and kid friendly as well
