    Avocado Toast
    Hee K.

    I'd only come here if I'm biking or running along the LA River--and that's what I did. My friend and I came, got lunch, rented bikes, and headed out for a ride. The vibe is nice, but everything is outdoors and it can get pretty noisy. This is definitely more of an energetic pit stop during a ride rather than a relaxing café to unwind. The food and drinks are also a bit pricey for what you get. Nothing to comment on the service. It's the kind of place where you order at the counter, get a beeper, pick up your food when it's ready, and return your own plates. Overall, it's a convenient stop if you're already in the area and on the move, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

    Spoke cafe and their staff are the best ... great food and beverages great waffle fries, and one of the best breakfast burritos

    I hella enjoyed the breakfast burrito and the BLAT! The food came out super hot and fresh but took a bit...The vibe is outdoor casual and hella bike riders lol & families. It was on the pricer side but now a days everything is. some cool art and its right by the LA river for a stroll after.

    Classic California BLAT Sandwich, Breakfast Burrito

    Spoke is probably my favorite place to hangout in LA. This bicycle cafe is located next to the LA River in Frogtown, where you can get refreshing drinks and bites, and ride/rent bikes. The cafe itself is outdoors, though partially covered, and feels as though you're in an eclectically decorated backyard. I've tried the Classic California Blat (with a side of fries), side of crispy potatoes, bacon breakfast burrito, and watermelon lemonade. The water lemonade is absolutely divine, not too sweet, and incredibly refreshing after a long bike ride. There are also coffee options and alcoholic beverages for purchase. Service is relatively efficient given the volume of orders they have on the weekends. Bike rentals are by the hour ($15 for the first hour, $10/hour thereafter) and located at the back of the cafe. Staff members are friendly and able to answer questions about finding the right bike fit. They do split their time with repairs, so there may be a brief wait to start the rental process; however, they are accommodating with your start time. Helmets are included in the rental fee. There are also several bike racks throughout the cafe for those who bring their bikes to Spoke. Parking immediately outside of the cafe can be challenging, but available in the nearby neighborhood with a short walk/bike ride.

    Chagaccinos -- so smooth

    What's the saying? I can be happy in a castle and I can be happy in a cave? Something like that. My reviews show that I sample the gamut in LA from the fanciest to the grungiest, as long as the place is clean, interesting, and has good food. I have tried to come up with a facsimile of Frogtown in other places I have been. Outside of Naples, I can't think of even one. It is truly sui generis. This is a place to dress down and low. Expect basic and rustic and, well, not for white linens and silk slippers, iykwim. However, it does do good food, a lot of it vegetarian and vegan, in a campy colorful atmosphere. You order on line (and it can be a long one), they give you a mini-beeper and you go back to pick up your items. Works for me. Oh, and let's not forget, it's a bicycle shop with an interesting store (see my photos here). If we lived in the area, we could cycle to Spoke, hitch them up and eat. Instead we drove and then walked around some, in order to try another Frogtown staple (for a future review). The music is what I would call world beat. The patio is shaded but the sun was brutal yesterday, so I battled the elements and the wildlife a bit. In fact, be ready for small members of insectivora -- hard to avoid when dining outside. Better be early if you want the full menu. It shrinks at 2 pm. We tried their unique Chagaccino latte,a mocha-style beverage made with a blend of Chaga mushroom powder, cacao, cinnamon, vanilla, mixed with espresso and a plant-based milk such as oat milk, known for its "adaptogenic benefits". It's considered a healthier alternative to a traditional mocha, offering a rich, earthy, and less bitter flavor with added antioxidants and stress-supportive properties from the chaga mushroom. It was so smooth that I think I may just have to buy some Chaga mushroom powder to add to my morning Joe. Then we had the egg bun and the egg scramble. Everything was delicious. You can feel the LA River as you approach Spoke -- in that sense it reminded me of Provincetown on Cape Cod -- something marine, funky, hip, down and dirty in the air. A nice stroll along the river caps the experience. This is a place you will either relish or resist, I am in the former category. And, there is still more to come from Frogtown, so stay tuned.

    Street parking (Sep 2025)
    Luke L.

    Spoke is a bike shop/restaurant/cafe all-in-one spot opened in 2015 and is the first business to set up along the LA River Bike Path. [Parking]: Street parking only and it was NOT easy to find an available spot in this part of neighborhood (Elysian Valley aka Frogtown). I tried to look for parking at Lewis MacAdams Riverfront Park (formerly Marsh Park) and the lot was packed. Ultimately I found a street parking spot on Marsh St and walked to the shop. [Atmosphere & ordering]: Nice and relaxing outdoor patio area with a metal rooftop. One unisex restroom right next to the ordering window (no key or code required). Visitors wait in line, place an order, find an available table, and pick up their food at the pick-up window. [Menu]: Some of crowd favorites include breakfast burrito, the blat (served on Bub and Grandma's sourdough and your choice of pork bacon, tempeh bacon, or shrooms), meat/veggie burgers (veggie burger even made it into the New York Times), and waffle fries / crispy potatoes. Breakfast bun and avocado toast are two Yelp top highlighted items. [Bike rentals]: Bike rentals begin at 10 AM and the last rental goes out at 3:45 PM. Minimum rental period = 1 hour. $15 an hour for a standard bicycle (tandem bicycle and kids trailer add-on are extra). $10 for each additional hour IF PAID UP FRONT. No partial hour rentals. Prices include helmet. All riders must read and sign liability waiver. Must provide one piece of collateral (ID, credit card, or passport). *** Breakfast Bun (soft-scrambled egg, bacon or tempeh, cheese, caramelized onions, and special sauce on a griddled soft bun $13 + side of crispy potatoes $5): It was one good tasting breakfast sandwich, but buns were slightly over-toasted. I asked a side of crispy potatoes and they were surprisingly good. *** A solid 4.5-star on breakfast bun and bump up to 5-star due to great vibe despite difficult street parking. There's no question this is one of better dating spots in LA if you can ignore bad parking situation.

    The Kale Salad and side of toast

    Wow, Spoke really really impressed me. I love bicycle cafe's as a general premise, but Spoke resonated with me on the setting, food selection, and service. First, it's right off the river pathway and has ample seating (outside, but covered.) Nothing beats a good meal and beverages in a sunny spot like this. Speaking of food, there were plenty of vegan options and the kale caesar I had was sooo incredible. I added the breaded vegan chicken and it was just perfect. Also, much kudos to them for having a really delicious hop water available from highland park brewing. I was originally intending on only having an iced tea but I couldn't resist grabbing the hop water too. I was not disappointed!! Finally, at least on my particular visit, the person behind the window was genuinely really nice to every person before me and to my partner and I when we ordered. They qualified some of the items, whether we wanted things vegan, as they said they too were vegan and knew we'd want to confirm. I love when people go out of their way to ask those things--sometimes you forget and end up with an item that you don't and can't eat. 100% will go back when I am next in LA!

    The Spoke Cafe is located on a dead end street right next to the Los Angeles River. I've never heard of this place until today and I am in love with what they have going on. Not only do they serve food/drinks as a typical cafe but in the back area they have a rental bike shop! I've never seen something like this around LA so it was really cool. Their service is very welcoming, shoutout to the helpful man working the bike shop. Me and a group rented bikes for 2hrs and rode up to griffith park. After our ride we grabbed some drinks and food for fuel. The food looked amazing and their matcha was decent. This spot is seems to be popular for the locals and I can see why as I definitely plan on returning back myself!

    Breakfast Bun tempeh w/ potatoes
    May W.

    Parking: Street parking then walk to shop. Tip: If you're there to order food, I would scan QR code and order on the website. It says the order will come out in 25-30 mins, but I would check the pickup window around 10-15 mins. There's no text notification to let you know that your food is ready. All outdoor seating with plenty of shade and colorful umbrellas. Dog-friendly water bowls are placed here and there. Complimentary water station. It's a great place to stop by while biking along the LA river, or if you want to do a leisure activity like biking, walking, or running, and stop by for a fueling station. There is a bike shop that also sells bike equipment, merch, and allows bike rentals. They also have a public wifi password posted, and I have seen people come by here with their laptops. Noise level was at a medium similar to a brunch cafe. Watermelon lemonade: The lemonade was tart and refreshing. Watermelon provided a refreshing add-on taste. Breakfast bun with tempeh (plant-based protein) w/ potatoes: Potatoes were little yellow potatoes, sliced in half and baked with a crispy outer coating. Tempeh is a fermented soy product paired with chopped grilled onions and a slight bbq taste.

    LOVE this casual eatery. order sit down you get a buzzard when food is ready. Burgers are so good and big waffle fries are soooo slap! You can select salad instead of fries. They sell beer too! Ohhhhh and it's along the LA River!

    The place to be on a sunny day! My friend told me about this place a long time ago but for some reason I never went because I thought the food looks mid, but I finally went! Food: unfortunately I wasn't hungry but the salads and sandwiches I saw around me looked insane. Service: you just order online or up front and pick it up, but the little interaction that I did have was so friendly! Ambiance: the atmosphere is the highlight for me. I love the outdoor seating, plenty of shading, and right by LA river if you want to go on a little walk. We happened to be there on a Sunday afternoon during their trivia night (starting 5pm) and it was really fun even though we lost haha. Next time I'll come hungry, and I'm going to bring a book and just sit here for hours

    A friend showed my boyfriend and I this spot and I'm truly in love. It's quirky, cute, colorful FUN all in one! Their coffee options are amazing (if you're a peanut butter chocolate lover try the peanut butter chocolate latte) they also have a mushroom latte (ALSO BOMB) for food we got the breakfast burrito and fries....delicious. Service was kind and quick. It's also so cool to see folks pull up on their bikes because it's right next to the bike trail. I'm veryyyy excited to come here again.

    A bier garden for people biking/walking the Los Angeles River Trail, Spoke provides a variety of food and beverages in a super chill environment. It started out as a bike shop (hence the name) in 2015, and expanded to become full service restaurant in 2017. It's best element is the outdoor dining/imbibing space...it reminded me so much of the bier gardens in Wisconsin in the summer, which I loved. My co-father-in-law and I stopped in during the middle of a long walk/hike along the trail. The other restaurant close by was opening for dinner, so that made the decision to choose Spoke easy. You get in line to order food and drink (assuming you can keep a tab, but for us, just paid as we went along). Since all we ordered was a pitcher, we got it right away and we carried it back to a back shaded table, where we spent the next hour enjoying the weather. The draft beer list was categorized by Crisp and Light, Hoppy, Sour/Fruity, and Stout/Amber/Dark. They also had ciders, kombuchas, and seltzers as well. We got a pitcher of Pure Project Brewing 'Tropical Mist', a citrus blond ale ($34)..a pitcher being four 16oz glasses ($9), so a slight savings. I really loved this crisp beer for the occasion...the best word for it is refreshing and would have been an easy choice for another if we had more time. But alas, it was time to move on.

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.

    We recently hosted our first cocktail party in LA, and Dave from Prank was an absolute angel. He…read moresupported us from start to finish, offering thoughtful suggestions on how to make the event even more unique and special. I had many questions, and both he and his team addressed every single one with patience, care, and attention to detail. It's clear that Dave was born to host events! That level of guidance makes all the difference when you're nervours... that patience and guidance it's exactly what you want in a venue partner. Prank was an excellent choice for our event. The location is fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were outstanding. Thank you so much. We will absolutely recommend Prank and keep it on our radar for future events in LA.

    This is one of the coolest spot in DTLA in my opinion. Here's why... there is an easy feel to the…read moreatmosphere as soon as you walk up to the entrance. The open patio, the bar area and how it wraps around the corner where there is a smaller intimate section. The music was awesome, the bartender has a great pour and the people seemed to be really having a great time. As I look around I see there is an open upstairs area that looks down onto the first level. So cool right? I had a conversation with two regulars and they swear by the menu. Plans are made to come back and I must try the food when I do. Cheers!!

First of all, every single dish that I have ordered has been phenomenal! The menu is created by Chef Jonathan Perez of Macheen. - Truffle fries: Just the right amount of truffle oil and generous on the pecorino ramano - Wings- ordered the miso ginger tamarind. Wings are done crisp but meat is still moist. - Tostaditas de atun al pastor: so light and delicious! If you like poke, please order this because them serving it on avocado and a crisp tortilla totally works -pork belly wraps: Asian -inspired and very generous, this serving is perfect for one and who is watching their carbs. so good. - cla'sica burger: just a good well-made burger. Service is great: everyone is very friendly and one of the things i appreciate is that there are a few times where i didn't say anything but they immediately know i needed something. I felt they were very attentive. I also recommend supporting this establishment because they are open their space for community art events. I have been here for art shows (one of them, i participated as an artist,) and for a "Paint and Brunch" by Liliflor Art. The Paint and Brunch is a monthly event where in one flat fee, you are provided canvas, high end paints, brushes, one drink card and one dish. Music is being played by a live dj and there are guest vendors and wellness practitioners who opens up the space with a sage blessing and a guided meditation with a sound bath. It takes place on a Sunday morning and lasts for a few hours (which goes by so fast!) It is such an amazing event! Spaces are limited so follow Distrito 14's and Liliflor Art's social media Distrito 14 quickly became one of my favorite spots!
