    Tater Tots, Orange Juice, the BB breakfast burrito
    Danica

    Söbuneh was a solid stop for breakfast. Got the BB -- pasture raised organic eggs, beef bacon, cheddar, chives, tater tots, cilantro lime aioli, pickled onions, and avo -- and really enjoyed it. Ingredients were fresh and clearly good quality, and what I appreciated most was that every bite actually tasted like a full breakfast. You could actually taste each ingredient and it all came together really well. The beef bacon was a first for me too, has a almost jerky-like texture to it, and worked better than expected chopped up inside the burrito. Tater tots were super crunchy and held up really well even sitting out for a bit. The OJ was perfectly sweet and surprisingly still cold without ice. Outdoor seating only which has a really cute vibe and the staff is super friendly! Just don't come on a hot day, we made that mistake and even the shady spots didn't save us. A little on the pricier side but the portion is generous so it evens out. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

    Go to the West Hollywood location, the food and variety is better there. I got the BB breakfast burrito from here and I feel like it could've been better. The meat inside was tough and hard to chew which I didn't like. The burrito was overall good though, but it wasn't as ooey and gooey as the burritos I had at the WeHo location. For $21, this was not worth it. I was also disappointed to learn upon arrival that no drinks were available which were on Yelp and Beli, so they must've stopped serving them at this location. Sobuneh is one of many food options located at Colony, a food hall. You place your order on the tablets and you'll get a text when your food is ready for pickup. There's some indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom available. Parking is street parking. Overall, the breakfast burrito I had here wasn't bad, I just expected it to be better. I probably wouldn't try this spot again.

    I didn't realize this one was located inside The Colony and was a bit bummed to learn they don't serve any espresso/matcha drinks here. The only drink available aside from bottled and canned drinks was orange juice, and it wasn't very good. I'm glad I finally tried the burrito! Size-wise it's heftier than W&L, though not by a lot, and is a good, filling burrito. I ordered an extra honey chipotle aioli to try both of em, and both are good but I still prefer the cilantro lime. The beef chorizo wasn't for me and I think I would've enjoyed the meatless or Cali burrito more than this one. Sadly they were out of the Cali burrito here. I'll try the other location some time for the other burritos and drinks. The girl working behind the counter was super sweet and very helpful too! :)

    Pick up inside of The Colony (Jun 2026)

    Sobuneh (or "breakfast" in Persian) is an Iranian-owned spot that specializes in breakfast burritos. The concept was founded by three UCLA alumni and they started as a backyard burrito pop-up in late 2023. Currently Sobuneh has a location at The Colony (a ghost kitchen that serves over 15 businesses) and a new standalone location in West Hollywood. [Parking]: Metered parking or paid public parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood. There is a small parking lot behind the building, but it is mostly reserved for food delivery drivers. [Ordering]: Visitors can order via the kiosk at The Colony or place an online order ahead of time. I went with the second option and my order was ready for pickup in less than 10 minutes. [Atmosphere] The Colony has an outdoor patio area with tables or customers can sit at the limited indoor tables with a TV playing ESPN. [Menu]: All breakfast burritos are served with a choice of cilantro-lime aioli or honey chipotle aioli on the side. Specialty drinks, espresso, matcha, cold brew, tea, and refreshers are only served at the West Hollywood location. This spot serves only four types of breakfast burritos: The Sig (beef chorizo), The BB (beef bacon), The Cali (steak), and The Veg. *** The Sig (pasture-raised organic eggs, beef chorizo, cheddar, avocado, tater tots, black beans, honey chipotle aioli, and cilantro-lime aioli served with pickled onions - Honey Chipotle Aioli, $18): For an $18 breakfast burrito, the portion was smaller than I expected and I was able to finish the entire whole burrito in 5 minutes. The burrito itself tasted mediocre and the flavor was not exactly on point (not sure why a breakfast burrito needs black beans and pickled onions). The honey chipotle sauce was a bit overpowering to the point that it masked the burrito's flavor itself (not that there was much flavor to begin with). *** Personally I would rather order a breakfast burrito from Bad-Aaa Breakfast Burritos (part of Dog Haus) than from here. At least Bad-Aaa Breakfast Burritos has a larger portion, tastes slightly better, and is less expensive. For anyone who really wants to try the hype, maybe stick with The Cali as it doesn't have black beans and pickled onions.

    This review is for their pickup experience which I am currently waiting to pickup from The Colony location. There is no signage or anything I saw on the website letting you know to go in the back alley and order online because The Colony is actually closed at this hour. I am here at 8:15am, 15 mins after they open, placed my order and have been waiting close to half an hour so far. There are like 3 other people standing here, bunch of other confused people keep walking by just as turned around as I am, a few people even just left. No team members in sight at all except briefly to hand out orders. I called the phone number a few times and the gentleman was very nice, but this is too annoying of a process for me to want to do in the future and took way too long for one breakfast burrito. Even if it slaps they already put a poor taste in my mouth. Update: the cali breakfast burrito was very very good, def one of the best in LA, but you guys have to get the ordering flow down here stat.

    the BB breakfast burrito
    Kyara B.

    Ordered through their website for pickup. My order was 10 min early, luckily I was already near so my food wasn't sitting there getting cold. It's operated out of a ghost kitchen with other establishments inside. They have indoor dining and a patio area but I took mine to go. The BB Breakfast Burrito - The eggs were so fluffy and the tater tots offered a nice buttery crunch. I added avocado but I honestly don't think it needed it. The cilantro lime aioli was divine and a nice addition to the burrito. Would definitely come back and try the rest of their menu! I noticed some breakfast burritos were only available on the weekdays so I'll have to come in for lunch one day!

    I can only review Sobuneh as delivery. I've got two young kids, so these days somebody else bringing me a breakfast burrito is often the more realistic version of brunch. And breakfast burritos are notoriously bad travelers. Thirty minutes inside foil and a delivery bag can turn a perfectly good one into a warm, soggy brick. Sobuneh somehow avoids that. I've ordered their breakfast burritos multiple times now and they consistently arrive warm and remarkably intact. The tater tots still have texture, the avocado hasn't turned into mush, the tortilla holds everything together and most importantly the whole thing still tastes like it was made with some care. One piece of advice, get the chipotle sauce on the side. They always honor the request and I think that's part of what keeps the burrito from getting soggy during delivery. Add it yourself as you eat. The heirloom pico de gallo is excellent. It's a little wet, but fresh and flavorful enough that I don't care. I just wish they had a legitimately hot salsa. The available sauces don't quite get there, so I usually end up reaching for whatever nuclear option I have at home. Even the tater tots travel surprisingly well. They're obviously never going to be straight from the fryer crispy after a delivery drive, but they're still warm with enough crunch left to make them worth ordering. Is it expensive for a breakfast burrito? Yeah. There's no getting around that. But there's also something to be said for ordering the same thing repeatedly and having it show up the way you hoped it would. Sobuneh has managed that enough times that I've stopped wondering whether the last order was a fluke. A very good breakfast burrito and one of the rare ones I'd actually recommend having delivered.

    Placed an online order to save time and we still had to wait an additional 15min+ after our supposed pick up time. Portions are good and I don't have a favorite between the bib or the sig. Sauces complimented the burritos.

    The Cali breakfast burrito

    It is in my top 3 for best breakfast burritos. They come packed and are loaded with flavor. I had this delivered which it prob sat in traffic for at least an hour and still hit. Will definitely go in person to give this a try.

    Best. Breakfast. Burrito. My boyfriend and I ran the LA Marathon yesterday and I somehow dragged myself to yoga this morning, don't ask. Anyway, somewhere between downward dog and genuinely reconsidering my life choices I was like okay I need the best breakfast burrito in LA right now and google brought me here Sobuneh is Persian for breakfast. Very cute. It's a ghost kitchen inside The Colony. Order in person or directly through their site bc everything is marked up on the apps We got two signature breakfast burritos, beef chorizo with honey chipotle aioli, tater tots with cilantro lime aioli and their felfel hot sauce. Every single bite was the same as the first. You know how the last third is usually just sad tortilla?? Not here. There was so much delicious filling. The tater tots were sooo crispy too Staff is super sweet, counter service, easy pickup. Definitely the best breast burrito in all of la. My only complaint is that they need a location in every neighborhood

    Started the morning feeling like a breakfast burrito! Went to sobuneh because of all the craze! Ordered online because the lobby opens at 10am Took about 20 minutes I got the Cali With both sauces Tater tots! I will say this is one of the most flavorful breakfast burritos! Every aspect of the ingredients are seasoned and complimented each other! Out of the two sauces I preferred the honey chipotle They are both goated The cilantro lime just reminded me of pesto and Vietnamese food! That I felt over powered a lot of the flavors If you're dining solo the burrito does have tater tots inside if you want to skip the tots!

    We didn't realize that this location was located in a ghost kitchen food hall. Unlike previous ghost kitchens that we've been to, this location has indoor and outdoor seating available for you to enjoy your meal. We've been hearing so much hype with this place with many people claiming it to be the best breakfast burrito in LA. The sign said the wait was 30-45 minutes, but it definitely felt faster than that. You can order online or via kiosks. The burrito was on the smaller side and starts at $18. It is filling for one person, but not enough for sharing. I liked the Cali burrito more, but I wish the steak was a little more tender and I didn't realize it was gonna be a little spicy. We found free street parking around the corner. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Outdoor seating off to the side
    Nicole G.

    This place has been bookmarked for a while and it was finally time to give it a shot! I wanted to enjoy the sun and warm weather this weekend while also taking my boyfriend out for a yummy meal. This checked off both of those boxes! Parking is a little tricky, but that's to be expected in this area. You'll find street and meter parking, as well as a very small paid public parking lot towards the back. This is a ghost kitchen with other businesses sharing the space so you enter and order from one of the three touch screen kiosks. Very easy and straight forward. There's some seating inside and a covered outdoor section as well. I received a text when the order was ready, but a kind worker called out my name and brought the items over to our table! What we ordered: The Sig breakfast burrito (one with honey chipotle aioli and one with cilantro lime aioli) - 4/5 Only reason it is not a full 5 star is because it was big enough for the price point! Coming in at $18 with no modifications or extra sauce. I think $14.95-$16 is a fair price. HOWEVER, let's get into WHY it's rated high. The tortilla immediately caught my attention for being notably sturdy and of great quality. It didn't fold or rip throughout the entirety of the meal. It was very structured and supportive of the contents inside. That's key! Also had a nice toasted side to it. Kept it sealed and looks good. The avocado was super fresh and not mushy at all. The tator tots and chorizo were crispy! The honey chipotle aioli is the winner for us. I didn't care for the pickled onions on the side. I really enjoyed that the burrito was flavorful and clean. Wasn't messy or greasy, unlike some other places. The ice cold tea pairs perfectly. It also has clean ingredients, no sugar added, and only 35 calories. They offer 3 flavors! Overall, this spot gets our approval and we would definitely return to support. I noticed the Cali burrito was sold out, so might have to be the next one to try. the BB looks about the same but just includes beef bacon and chives rather than chorizo and beans

Dinner was $70 per person and consisted entirely of shared plates. It turned out to be plenty of food. We started with the roasted shishito peppers and the crispy pork belly. That pork belly was the best dish of the night - absolutely delicious. Next came the chickpea fritters, which were also really good. The roasted beet salad was up next. I hate beets. But I still liked this. I wouldn't order it again because, yeah, I really don't like beets. But if you like them even a little, you should get this. I actually ate several bites of this, and it was nice. The Sichuan Chili Bass presented a similar situation as I don't really like fish - but again, I ate this and it was quite tasty. Dessert was a "s'mores" situation - a messy, glorious bowl of chocolate, meringue, graham cracker crunch and strawberries. Service was awesome - perfectly pacing the meal. My friend had a couple of cocktails which were gorgeous. And the room is lovely and light. I don't love the neighborhood and parking can be tough. I definitely would come early unless you're taking a taxi. Genuinely surprised how much I liked this meal. Everything was very well done and clearly made with care without seeming fussy or too precious. Highly recommend and would definitely come back. This is a place to take your out-of-town friends to.

We made a reservation through OpenTable and arrived about 5 minutes early. They were able to seat us pretty quickly, so the whole check-in process was easy. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, with tall ceilings and plenty of plants. At night, the lighting is moodier and gives the whole space a warm, buzzy atmosphere. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself was also literally warm lol. It wasn't unbearably hot, but definitely warmer than comfortable, especially while eating something like curry. Granted, it was 95°F+ outside that day, so maybe the AC was just fighting for its life. We ordered: * Goat liver mousse * Wood-fired broccoli * Pickled pepper blueberry cornbread * Lamb curry Surprisingly, I think the wood-fired broccoli was my favorite dish of the night. It had a really nice char with a slight tanginess that kept me going back for more. The cornbread and goat liver mousse were both just okay for me. I wanted the cornbread to be richer and more buttery, and the blueberry didn't come through nearly as much as I expected. The goat liver mousse was fine, but weirdly I almost wanted it to taste more like goat? For something centered around goat liver, the flavor felt pretty tame. The lamb curry had a nice curry flavor, but it was missing the depth and complexity I've had in really good curries. There also wasn't much actual lamb in the dish, which made it even harder for it to stand out. Overall, nothing we had was particularly bad, but aside from the broccoli, nothing made me think, "I need to eat this again." The space and interior honestly left a stronger impression on me than the food. Maybe we just didn't order the right dishes, because this place is clearly popular; but with so many other restaurants in the Arts District, I don't see myself choosing Girl & the Goat over them for a return visit.

The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

We had to park around the corner in a really disgusting area that was full of trash, dog poop and smelled really terribly of urine and sewage. That being saidddd! The Shepard's Pie was sooo good, it is my new favorite. Served in a skillet, it was a big, piping hot portion that's enough for 2 whole meals! It paired absolutely beautifully with a pint of their Bike Shed Brew. I felt like I was in London, spot on! The only thing I would add is some HP Sauce and/or Tabasco. I waited 10 years to finally check this place out and it was absolutely worth it! I'd love to bring people, my girlfriend even said it would be an amazing wedding venue, we just wish they had a better parking situation.

Gave us our check so we just decided to leave. We originally came in because we loved a lot of their vegan options: the zucchini fries, mint pea hummus, Brussels sprouts, wild mushroom salad, etc. Sadly, have been discontinued. I really wish they would bring some of them back because they were always a staple for us, especially when grabbing drinks at the bar. We also used to love having them with a Lane Splitter, which they unfortunately don't carry anymore either. Overall, it just doesn't feel like the same experience it used to be. ):

    Located right in the heart of the Arts District, Sampa is one of those LA restaurant that's trendy,…read morehigh‑end, and still feels warm and welcoming. The kind of spot where you walk in and immediately think, Yep... this is where you bring someone you're trying to impress. The ambience hits that perfect balance of modern, moody, and stylish, a little sexy, a little artsy, and fully date‑night certified. Service was on point the entire night, for my experience, maybe cause they know I was was going to tip very heavily. Ha ha ha. Which ai did by the way! Staff was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious. The team here knows the menu inside and out, and they guide you like they're curating an experience rather than just taking an order. Drinks topped off, plates cleared smoothly, pacing perfect. High‑end feel without the high‑end attitude. Let's talk about the food. Filipino Fusion Done With Swagger Ribeye Salpicao, This dish is straight-up dangerous. Tender ribeye cubes seared with garlicky, buttery goodness, the kind of salpicao that makes you rethink every bite you have. Rich, savory, and addicting. If you don't guard your plate, someone at the table will steal a piece. "Because I know I would!" Rockfish Pritong, it was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and seasoned like someone's Filipino auntie whispered the secrets of life into the batter. Bright, punchy flavors with that perfect crunch. Definitely a sleeper hit. Crispy Duck Pancit, This one is wild, pancit with a crispy duck twist that somehow feels both comforting and elevated. The noodles soak up all that savory duck richness, and the crispy skin on top. Wow, a moment of silence for how good that bite is. Papaya Salad, so fresh, bright, and refreshing. A perfect palate reset between the heavier dishes. Crunchy, citrusy, and balanced, the kind of salad that actually earns its spot on the table. Grilled Eggplant Salad, smoky, silky eggplant with a char that tastes like it came straight off a backyard grill in Manila. Light but flavorful, and a great contrast to the richer plates. Pasta Palabok, a true Filipino classic reimagined. Creamy, savory palabok sauce wrapped around pasta instead of noodles, bold move, but it works. The textures are luxurious, and the flavors stay true to the original. Tare Tare Tamale, definitely one of the most creative dishes of the night. A fusion tamale with tare flavors that hit sweet, salty, and umami all at once. Soft masa, rich filling, and a flavor combo that makes you pause mid‑bite. "Mmmm hmmm!" Hamachi, so clean, fresh, and beautifully plated. The kind of hamachi that melts instantly and makes you feel fancy even if you're wearing sneakers. Of course I had my dress shoes on. It has bright citrus notes and just the right amount of heat. Sampa nails the high‑end, artsy vibe without feeling stiff. Trendy lighting, modern décor, and a soundtrack that keeps the energy fun. Perfect for date night, anniversaries, or when you want to look like you know the cool spots in LA. Sampa is Filipino fusion with confidence, bold flavors, gorgeous plating, and an atmosphere that elevates the whole night. If you're trying to impress your significant other, celebrate something special, or just treat yourself to a killer meal in the Arts District, this place delivers. "Always remember the energy you give ...is the energy you receive. One bite at a time! " Miguel C.

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

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!

    My visit to Distrito Catorce came about from a posting on my Instagram. The owner, Guillermo, liked…read moremy post, and I found out that he owned DC. My wife and I decided to visit DC on a Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and planned on staying there until the rooster crowed. Instead, we found out that the opening times were incorrect, as well as the closing times. So, make sure you contact the restaurant to confirm that they are open. Typically, they open at 5 p.m. and close at 10 p.m. We arrived at the restaurant and had to look for parking for a few minutes, simply because the street was partially closed off for an event. We eventually found parking right around the corner and close enough to crawl to the place. The location of the restaurant is rustic, old-town, and brown, and might be a bit challenging for most outsiders. It's located between a dive bar on the left and an art store on the right. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the owner, Guillermo - an approachable, caring, knowledgeable, and respectful gentleman with the enthusiasm of ten people. The interior of this place is a bit rustic, but we were there for the FOOD, not to shop for furniture. The place was sparsely populated, with only a few patrons. The oldies were jamming, and we were focused on the food experience to be had. We had been studying the menu online for about a week and were still undecided about what our choices would be, so we went with the suggestions Guillermo made for us. I had to start with one of their beers on tap, and this is where the magic happened: The Kinky Blonde, the Allagash White, and the Cali Squeeze were perfect for a lazy afternoon and an empty stomach, pairing well with the conversation and our much-awaited meal! Then the first plate arrived: Tostaditas de Atún Aguachile Negro (TRANSLATION - Heaven on a tortilla). Yellowfin tuna with mango citrus on a fried tortilla, along with a secret blend of love and explosive flavors guaranteed to put a smile on your face! This dish alone would be enough to draw you back to this place again and again. Then came the second punch: Taquitos de Papa - potato tacos with lemon ricotta, salsa macha, and chives. I know what you're thinking: Potato tacos? Really? Yes, really! They were spicy, crunchy, flavorful, and memorable. Then came Bronson: Esquite Brussels Sprouts - Mexican corn and Brussels sprouts with chile de árbol aioli and chile-lime butter. No need to explain this experience! But wait, there's more: Carne Asada - hanger steak with pasilla peppercorn sauce and grilled vegetables. The meat was ultra-tender, savory, inviting, and comforting. By the time the Lamb Al Pastor Taco and the Ribeye Taco showed up, we were ready to move into this place and never leave. Without a doubt, DC is a culinary gem, but what made this place truly memorable was the four and a half hours my wife and I spent getting to know Guillermo, the owner. What did we talk about for four and a half hours? Life, food, family, art, education, and religion. It was dessert in words, topped with a sense of honesty, love, and life! Take a walk - or drive--on the wild side and venture on over to DC. Have a life-changing experience with the drinks, the food, and the conversation. And tell them that Simón sent you!

Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

I started with the cream biscuits, butter, and country ham, which were absolutely delicious. The market lettuce with pickled carrots, ricotta salata, hazelnuts, coriander, and buttermilk dressing was fresh, flavorful, and equally impressive. I also ordered the Liberty duck breast with wild mountain huckleberry jus, Asian pear, and spruce tip salt. The duck was very good, but the dish that really had my mouth watering and wanting more was the Italian sweet peppers with poblano cream, green chorizo, Cotija, breadcrumbs, and cilantro. So flavorful and satisfying! To finish, I had the banana pudding with macadamia nuts. It was beautiful and absolutely delicious--a perfect ending to the meal. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Manuela did not disappoint! The service was great and the drinks were strong.

    This is a very cool / beautiful restaurant, but unfortunately I felt that the value and service…read morewere lacking, the service in particular. The food was overall tasty, although I felt my steak was tougher than usual for the price point. The shrimp ceviche, although good quality and refreshing, had a slightly bitter taste to it (more so than the usual citrus tang) which I felt detracted from the overall flavor. It kind of felt like there were too many ingredients to it which detracted from the tasty simplicity that the dish is known for, although that is just my opinion and someone else may enjoy it more. The service on the other hand was not particularly good. Our waitress came off as slightly standoffish when asked about gluten free options and failed to refill our water cups multiple times throughout the meal, to the point my partner had to get up and do it herself. The sneaky 4% service charge automatically added to the bill also left a bad taste in my mouth. I have always been of the mind that the responsibility of compensating staff adequately falls on the business, not the public, and any extra tip is for good service and should remain optional by the customer, especially when they charge this much for basic entrees. Our bill came out to over $100 for two people (2 dishes, 1 shared appetizer, no drinks besides water) for breakfast. Overall I'd give this place 3.5 stars, worth checking out, but probably not worth frequenting often. Ambiance is an 8.5/10, the food was about a 7/10, the value was a 6/10, and the service was a 5/10. The food was solid, the ambiance was nice, the value is average to below average, and the service could use a little work. That being said, it's a nice place worth checking out, just make sure you ask to have that 4% charge removed from your bill, and tip accordingly.
