Service 10/10 Ambiance was casual indoor and outdoor dining. Delicious food made with fresh ingredients. Wish id taken photos bc everything looked super yummy in presentation. Crispy rice bowl with herbs and tofu was so fresh. 10/10 Tuna melt 10/10 buttery and rich, perfection, i got the country bread Turkey sandwich on brioche 10/10 Will definitely be back to try more options, would love to try their dinner service as well. read more

Finally returned after almost 10 years to check out the dinner service! We had a table on the sidewalk, which was very chic. The hostess also gave us a purse hook, which was such a thoughtful little touch. Drinks: The Dirty Mini Tini was strong and balanced, garnished with a single olive. For my second round, I ordered a half pour of Riesling. I really appreciate the half-pour option! Every restaurant should have a mini tini and half pours on the menu for the girlies. Bread service: Yummy! Two slices of sourdough. I just wish there was a little more dipping sauce. Beet agnolotti: In a ricotta butter sauce. This was the star of the meal, both in appearance and taste. So good. Steak: From Snake River Farms. We ordered it medium rare, but I think we should've gone with medium so it would be a little more tender. It came in a tangy demi-glacé with a simple mountain of onion and cilantro on the side, which was a nice touch. Maitake mushroom steak: This was okay, but not our fave. We definitely should've gotten the Potatoes No. 1 (potato confit) instead. Fig tart: Not really our taste. We only had two bites and didn't finish it. We did really like the burnt milk ice cream it came with though, and you can order that by the scoop! Our hostess, server, and busser were all attentive and lovely. Overall, we were impressed by the dinner service. I think it would've been an excellent meal if we had made two different choices with the sides/dessert. read more

An east LA classic I've tried multiple things from here for breakfast including the loaded sorrel pesto rice, shakshuka, and famed ricotta toast - all delicious. I really enjoyed this black sesame squiggle pastry they had today and hope they keep it because it's delicious! Service is quick and easy. I'm interested in coming back for their dinner! read more

Sqirl - Black sesame croissant squiggle, Shakshuka, Cappuccino - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Casual eatery Service: Order at the front. The setup is pretty casual and easy, so you can order and find a spot to sit. Food: Artisanal with so many options to choose from! They have seasonal baked goods available at the front, and there's always something new to try. I tried the black sesame croissant and it was delicious. It had a really nice flavor and was a great choice if you want something lighter. I recommend: Breakfast Sandwich: Brioche bun with cheddar cheese, hash brown patty, and a thick square egg patty. The combination is really satisfying, especially with the crispy hash brown and soft brioche. Definitely a good option if you're looking for something more filling. Omelette: You can't go wrong with their egg dishes. The omelette is fresh and flavorful and makes for a solid breakfast option. Buckwheat Pancake: Comes with fruit and a chocolate dollop. This was probably one of my favorites because it was really light with fresh flavors. It doesn't sit heavy at all, so it's a good option if you want something sweet without feeling overly full afterward. Parking: Street/meters. There is ample street parking around the area, but make sure to read the signs carefully because the restrictions can vary. read more

Overall, the food was delicious, but there were a couple of dishes that weren't quite my favorite. The kale salad and the pesto risotto were a bit too sour for my taste. We also ordered the rainbow jam assortment with the bread. It looked beautiful, but the jams were sweeter than I expected. My favorite dish was definitely the baguette served with the eggs and creamy sauce. Dipping the warm, crispy baguette into the rich egg and sauce was absolutely delicious, and all the flavors paired together perfectly. I also really enjoyed the long baguette itself it was simple but incredibly good. read more

This place had indoor and outdoor seating with the outdoor seating having a lovely classic LA view. Parking is on the street, and it was a younger crowd there for sure. Honestly everything tasted really good and the portions are INSANE, like way more than you would expect. Really enjoyed it and will recommend it (ironically AI recommended it to us and we definitely agree with that rec). Only downside is we paid $120+ for 3 plates and 2 drinks + tip so watch out because it's certainly not cheap. The service was mainly self serve honestly except for them bringing the food out. You order at a counter and if you want water or silverware, you have to get it yourself. read more

Going to Sqirl was a bucket list item for a very long time before the jam bucket scandal came out. Glad that I've went but for a city that has so many good brunch places, Sqirl sits at a 3.5/5 star for me. The place was on a busy-ish street. No parking lot so we parked around the neighborhood and walked ~5 minutes over. The shop is divided into dine-in and to-go, the signs to differentiate them was hard to see but we eventually figured out. The shop is quite small, you stand in line to order and you get a number and find your own table. Water and utensils are self-serve as well. We sat outside. The food came out fast. The famous ricotta toast with seasonal jam (3.5/5) - the dish that made Sqirl (in)famous. It looks dreamy, thick and sweet. A bit too much for my taste after the fourth bite. The dish tasted exactly how you'd imagine it will. The jams were a bit hard to tell what they were. We were also not informed what the seasonal jams were at the time. The black sesame with lemon curd (3/5) - there's a deceitfully excessive amount of lemon curd inside the pastry. The lemon overpowered the black sesame. If you're a lemon dessert lover, this one's for you. Sorrel Pesto with Salmon (4/5 - this one was great. The salmon and vegetables were juicy and seasoned well. The only complain I have is that the salmon portion was a bit small compared to pictures. Latte was unremarkable so I wouldn't talk about it. read more

I'll start off with the good things about Sqirl. The food here was very good! The tomato jam was very sweet and the bread was super crunchy. The breakfast sandwich had a sauce that was a bit spicy but really yummy and the egg was fluffy. Now onto things that could be improved on. The wait took very long. It took about 25 mins for us to get the breakfast sandwich. People who ordered after us got all of their dishes before we did. I understand it was a Saturday and it was quite busy but it did suck seeing people get their entire order before we got one of our items. Second, the $7 bacon I added to the tomato jam was just one slice. I was expecting at least two slices. The food here was great but for the wait time and prices I would go somewhere else. Overall, I would still come back again, perhaps on a weekday and try their dinner menu. read more

Have lived in LA 9 years and had somehow never been to Sqirl (vividly remember the mold scandal which turned me off back in the day). That said, we were pretty blown away by our first experience. They had a pastrami sandwich on foccacia (get it pressed so it is warm) that was amazing and the chicken porridge is to die for (we crushed it even though it was 90° out). I would say it eats more like a stew than a porridge but wow was it good. Could heal me any day of the week Only reason i am not giving 5 stars is that the sweet potato hash was a miss for us, pretty bland and very inferior to the rest of the dishes we ordered. Creme brulee French toast was interesting and a good dish to split with a few people (it would be far too rich to eat solo) read more

Dinner service update: Dinner was excellent- juicy chicken and creamed spinach. The salad w Bibb lettuce and spring English peas was fantastic and I'm not a salad person! The vibe was like a great little dinner restaurant and not like an AM place that extended their hours. Little touches like personalized wine glasses and knives give the dinner service a little something extra. Excited to go back. read more

This is absolutely one of my favorite brunch restaurants. They never let me down! This was the first time I ever went to their new dinner venture and it was also fantastic. Happened to be a special collab with a couple of other drink partners. Service was awesome, the food really phenomenal and the pairings perfect! Had a nice cozy spot inside at the counter that was just right to set the mood. Would love for them to have some of the cocktails and saison options they had again. read more

This place certainly got its peak peak hype at one particular point in time that looking at the line alone felt overwhelming. Fortunately it's way more decent now even on weekend brunch time. It's obviously still busy, but amidst the chilly May grey Sunday, standing in line was certainly bearable. We placed our order than could quickly grab a seat at the front side, which was technically by the curbside, enabling you to do people-watching and just enjoying Silver Lake vibes. Amidst the wait you certainly had the option to explore their store which did offer some house-made ingredients they used for their dishes. We got their top dishes, starting with the sweet one - Toast Brioche with Ricotta and house seasonal jam. They had 4 options and you could also go for all, but my pick was the Raspberry Vanilla which I loved being so thick and I could tell had heavy fruit ratio in it. The moist airy ricotta came as right balance. The toast itself was very moist at the center but tad dry at the corner. The pesto rice to my surprise was so palatable and and refreshing with citrusy flavor and everything's on the plate just came as right complement, the poached egg, feta, and the additional sides we added - halloumi and bacon. That bacon was MUST MUST TRY! read more

Great service, high quality ingredients and good wine. We sat outdoors, and we were offered 1-2 wine samples before having to select. That was nice and I also appreciated that they had an excellent n/a option was available! All servers were kind and friendly. We ordered a few dishes - all of then were good, and my favorite was the bread, the salad and the chicken. We ended the night with ice cream and non caffeinated americano. Yum! read more

Both registers in the restaurant and the shop had younger gals who never smiled, looked bored and were not welcoming. Bad energy. They looked like they hated the world. Seating is so uncomfortable. Overpriced and we still needed to get our own water and silverware, I was shocked! We had the fluffy pancake (delicious) 10/10. French toast 7/10 Breakfast sandwhich was more like a lunch sandwich with arugula and like a lemony cilantro sauce . Just didn't taste like breakfast 5/10 I do t think I'll go back due to the negative attitude the two young gals had at the register. They need to at least greet and smile or work in the back kitchen. read more

A fantastic brunch spot that uses brown rice in their savory bowls. You feel full without being overstuffed. We got the loaded sorrel pesto rice with avocado, kale, and bacon. The kale and rice is so lemony and packed with so much flavor. We also got the "French toast" but this is not your average French toast. It's a creme brulee brioche that has been soaked in custard for 42.5 HOURS. Originally I thought that's how much this cost but luckily it's only $24. It was served piping hot but so juicy, crispy and fluffy. I've never had anything like this and it has to be the most unique French toast I have ever had. Absolutely worth it. Parking is simple and nice to walk around the neighborhood because you're going to want a little walk after this delicious meal. Ordering is at the counter and there was a line that took about ~15-20mins. They give you a number where they will bring your food out to you and they have a small indoor seating section and also a ton of outdoor seating in front of their restaurant or on the side in their patio. Dog friendly! read more

The line is usually very long, and the wait can take quite a while. It seems like the cashier is also handling bussing duties inside, which might be why it takes longer for orders to be placed.

I've passed by Sqirl a few times only to see long lines. Thankfully we went early enough and only waited 5 minutes to order. The seating area is small, but it does have a patio which is nice. Parking might be tough but that's anywhere in LA. As for the food let's get into it: - Ricotta Toast w/ Strawberry Jam (8/10) delicious, the bread they used had good texture, and the ricotta portion was the right size. Would order again. - Fluffy Pancakes (7.5/10) Believe this is the most popular food item, as they always run out. I thought it was really good, but not the best fluffy pancake I've had. Still, I'd say it's worth trying and sharing with someone. - Iced Lattes (7/10) Probably just me, but I prefer my lattes to be on the sweeter side. Overall a good experience at Sqirl, and great customer service. Would I go again? Maybe read more

The name of this restaurant is pretty strange, but don't let that fool you. Like the saying goes, "don't judge the book by it's cover". Established in 2011 and still going strong! Love that:-) Yesterday, my son, one of his friends and myself decided to stop by at this lovely, quaint restaurant that I have heard of, but have never tried before. It's a bit pricy, but the benefits and quality of the food is totally worth the buck. Got a warm welcome from Danilo G and he took our order at the counter. After finding a seat in the somewhat medium size restaurant, another employee brought out our order. We all ordered different things. My son got the New School with extra crispy ham and strawberry/peach jam, his friend got the Buckwheat Pancake and I got an Avocado Toast (add fried egg). I don't know why they had to charge for the egg. We all loved our food and didn't get anything to drink besides water. We also shared the Double Stack Pancakes with maple syrup and butter. They have extensive menu options to choose from and are only open for breakfast/brunch/lunch and close at 4pm. Ambiance is comfortable, and chill. It's only street parking around here. We all enjoyed our food and looking fwd. to our next visit! read more

2 years since I've been here and this is still one of my favorite restaurants in LA! We waited in a line that started outside the restaurant. The line went by pretty slow and took about 30 minutes, but the wait is always worth it for me. I initially ordered the chicken tahini focaccia sandwich. Unfortunately, it wasn't available that day :( The employee said that out of their 4 sandwiches, they offer 3 of them on a given day. But I opted for the 1/2 & 1/2 bowl instead and was not mad about it. Any variation of the sorrel pesto rice is sooo delicious! There is a little bit of an acidic taste in the rice which I love. The textures in the bowl blend together nicely. I've actually never really eaten kale before, and the way it was prepared in this bowl made it very appetizing. It was dressed perfectly. This bowl was so filling that I couldn't even finish it! While it may seem impossible to find a table, one of the servers helps find and clean something for your party. The food service was a little bit staggered, with one of the bowls coming out much later than the rest of the food. Street parking can be difficult as it is very limited. There is a bathroom in the restaurant. read more

Sqirl is one of the tastiest breakfast options in Silver Lake, as well as one of the most trendy and expensive. The lines here can get quite long so I suggest stopping in early. They have three different seating areas, one small area inside where you order, outside on the side of the building, and their largest seating area is directly out front on the sidewalk. Parking in this area can be a little bit tricky, there isn't a dedicated parking lot. It will be street parking only. The staff that we encountered was very friendly, but the ordering process is extremely slow, for some reason this line only crawls by, and everyone behind the counter taking orders does not seem to be in any type of rush. The menu does have a lot of great options on it. We started off with the Yogurt Parfait Bowl and we thought it was terrific. Everything was just really fresh and well balanced, and we were very happy with it. We also ordered the Ricotta Toast and jam and decided to do all strawberry because the other flavors did not sound nearly as interesting. This too was very good and I would get it for the strawberry jam alone. For my breakfast, I chose the Silky Soft French Eggs and really liked them. The goat cheese in the center is what made it for me and overall they was just really good. It takes quite a long time to be able to sit down to eat and the prices are high here, but the food is honestly really good and the staff is friendly, so I believe it is worth it if you're in the area. read more

this review is specifically for dinner service.... And everything was honestly spectacular. Our order: - bread service w/ jimmy nardello butter & jam (I need this jam jarred for me to take home) - chicken liver mousse - squimps - caesar salad - chicken - steak - potatoes no. 1 (mashed potatoes) - caramel crème dessert - sticky tofu madelines honestly, everything was my favorite and my only complaint is that they could give another piece of bread with the bread service... for $10 there is enough butter + jam to suffice another piece. I also felt the steak main was small for $52 but it was so good & I really just wished there was more. Chicken was a great portion and nice big caesar salad, too. Bill came to $350 total w/ 20% tip for four & that included a bottle of wine, tea, coke and two desserts. Speaking of dessert, the sticky toffee madalines is now my favorite dessert of the moment. Absolutely incredible, I could've enjoyed this one all to myself. We needed three for the table tbh, it was that good. An absolute must order. The caramel creme was probably the most underwhelming of the night but I loved the ice cream it was served with. service was wonderful, I believe Henry was the name of our server and he was so great. Helped with the menu, attentive & kind but not over the top. I really don't have enough good things to say. Loved everything& already have my next reservation set in a couple weeks. I am so happy Sqirl has started dinner service and I will be back. read more

Yummy food and great vibes! My friend and I shared the Long-Cooked Chicken & Rice Porridge and the Famed Ricotta Toast. The ingredients taste very clean and healthy. The rice porridge was very flavorful and I've never tasted a porridge like that before. The ricotta roast was amazing!! The toast was crunch and fluffy. And the ricotta was light and creamy and the jams were perfectly sweet. For drinks, I got a matcha latte and my friend got the strawberry matcha. They use Ippodo matcha, and it was strong! Was impressed Heads up- You have to order before you can get a table. If you try to save a table they'll make you move and order first. read more

This review is for their dinner menu. What an experience, honestly loved it more than their breakfast/lunch. Our party got the chicken liver, agnolotti, chicken, steak, and asparagus. The chicken liver was served w their toasted sourdough bread and celery butter... and wow, the butter was delicious! My sister, who normally doesn't enjoy pâte, also really liked the dish. The agnolotti was superb. Definitely save some bread to dip into the butter sauce. My only gripe was that there were only 5-6 pieces of pasta. I had high expectations for the chicken since it was the most popular item on social media. It was great, but I enjoyed the steak a lot more for the main. The steak was cooked beautifully, and the smokey sauce served with it was delicious and unlike any other steak dish I've tried. lol, save some bread for the sauce here too or order more like we did. The asparagus!! This was our party's favorite. It had a southeast asian flair to it, w strong coconut and lemongrass flavors. Our server was super friendly and attentive throughout the night. It was a great experience, and I would definitely come back!! read more

the ricotta toast definitely carried this whole meal. the ricotta itself was super duper fluffy and i loved that part so much. i would probably skip the apricot spread next time though because it was a bit bitter. the toast was a little dry, but it was also a thicccc piece of bread so i kinda get it. i did like the other jams though, i think it was strawberry and blackberry, and those paired way better. major chefs kiss to the caramelized vanilla latte. the vanilla bean flavor was really prominent and smooth, sooo good. the sorrel pesto rice was not it for me. the rice was kind of lukewarm and there was barely any pesto flavor. it mostly just tasted like dill. i usually like sour savory foods but this one just didn't hit. the hash was really good though. perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the in house sauce had a nice smoky flavor that made it even better. not sure if i would reorder it only because i want to try other things next time. also it's an order first then find a table kind of place, just a heads up. overall some hits and misses but definitely worth trying for the ricotta toast and latte. read more

I wanted to spend the day in LA with my friend and we decided to try out Sqirl for brunch because their menu looked super unique and interesting! I was overwhelmed with how many different things I wanted to try but ended up going with the vegetable omelette. I did not think to ask what kind of vegetables were on it and it ended up being mushrooms, only mushrooms, and lots of them. I like mushrooms but unfortunately I do not love them so that might have been my bad for not checking what might come on the omelette. If you are a mushroom lover, maybe you would have liked it but unfortunately it was not for me. As for my friend's meal, she got the Loaded Sorrel Pesto Rice. She said that she liked it but that it was pretty salty. The hash brown that we got to split was really good though!! Very crispy and tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed the vibe of this place and all of the staff were very friendly but besides the hash brown, we think that maybe we just ordered the wrong things for our first visit. read more

It's been years since I've been here (since the jam mold / rat / unauthorized kitchen reports 2021) but I needed to eat Shakshuka so thought I'd give Squirl another shot. I hope they have changed their ways because the food is so good!! And the staff are so nice! The shakshuka was so flavorful, and I loved the yogurt component. The most exciting part was getting a 3 foot baguette on top! Highly recommend this dish!! Seating is kind of wild if it's busy, but thankfully on a week day there was no wait and a number of tables available. The cardamom cinnamon roll was one of the best pastries I've ever had, and the staff working were really kind and even brought out a bday candle Turmeric juice was fresh and refreshing! The prices aren't too crazy for fam to table- brunch for 2 was a little over $50 I also took home a bottle of green hot sauce and bag of coffee from their little shop and both are delicious. read more

Sqirl has a horrifically chaotic seating situation but devastatingly delicious dishes, hence my repeated visits. I have not once visited Sqirl without there being an atrociously long line to order. What's more, after you order, it is impossible to find seating. It usually takes me a solid half hour of waiting around to find an empty table. That being said, I keep going back because I enjoy Sqirl's food so much. They're definitely a bit pricey but reasonable for LA. The salmon sorrel pesto rice is perfectly seasoned. The divinely seared salmon is paired with a contrasting honey-citrus broccolini and marinated kale. Fresh dill and crispy onions add even more nuance in flavor. The ricotta toast is Sqirl's showstopper. I keep coming back because of this toast. The housemade brioche toast is decadent and rich. The ricotta is so creamy and offers the perfect level of sweetness. Perfection continues with a topping of four seasonal jams. I have heard so much about the ricotta toast, and it is truly as good as people say it is. I was not expecting to like Sqirl as much as I do, but it somehow manages to exceed expectations. read more

Sqirl has been around awhile (2011), but it took their recent foray into dinner service to finally bring me in. Well known for their breakfast and lunch offerings as well as their house-made jams, Sqirl is a very popular spot in Virgil Village. It survived a "Jam Gate" episode almost 6 years ago, and I remember chef/owner Jessica Koslow had a companion restaurant at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel for awhile. This slighty gentrified area can also be gritty, and parking is a real challenge. Sqirl is a combination restaurant, take-out place and market with 2 separate sections. The restaurant has a small indoor dining space (basically one communal table and counter seating facing the wall), front sidewalk seating and a small patio along the side. The setting sun was an issue for most of the patio tables during my visit. Daytime service may be fast-casual, while dinner has tableside wait service. The dinner menu is quite fun and unique. I ordered 4 dishes, and there are many more I'd like to try in the future. Here's what I ordered: 1) Chicken Liver $21. A pretty traditional chicken liver pate, but topped with a bright green compound celery butter and served with schmaltz-grilled bread (the same bread served with their bread service). So pretty and delish! 2) Agnolotti $26. Another pretty dish, beet-striped pasta filled with smoked beet with a ricotta whey butter sauce that I found bracingly acidic. Ate all the pasta, but not all of the sauce. 3) Chicken $38. When online food sites talk about the resurgence of ordering chicken for dinner, this dish is invariably mentioned. Kind of a take on Zuni Cafe in San Francisco's famous chicken with bread salad, Sqirl's version is a Koji-cured half chicken (boneless except for the wing) with bagna cauda sauce served over braised Swiss chard panzanella, with a charred lemon alongside. Very deep and savory, and a generous portion. 4) Onion rings $16. These and the creamed spinach are more recent additions to the menu. The rings have a masa battered and are served with an avocado dip that I found quite acidic. The rings were tasty but dark, fried a bit too long I fear. If I had room for dessert, I would have ordered the sticky toffee madeleines. Maybe next time. Overall a unique and tasty meal. read more

Solo brunch near Los Feliz! First time here and loved it! The menu had so many options, but the friendly staff helped me choose -- even showed me pictures. I got their recommendation and no regrets! The hash brown-style potatoes were amazing, and the green salsa hot sauce was super tasty -- not too spicy, just right. Only downside: no parking lot, so you'll need street parking.

Great dinner at Sqirl. My favorite dishes were the Bread Service (the butter & jam combination is unreal), House Caesar (insane), Sqimps and Pork.

Chef Jessica Koslow's innovative cooking techniques creates flavor profiles that are simply delightful! Each bite feels like a new experience that's a symphony for the tastebuds! I've been going to Sqirl's lunch and brunch for years and the huge menu means I get to try new things almost every time, but that being said, my favorites are the yueben (a vegetarian take on the classic rueben sandwich), and the french toast (which is so massive that I can eat it the next morning for breakfast!). I also love having their seasonal shrub beverages - especially as a fan of komboucha. I was thrilled when they finally opened for dinner and was NOT disappointed! The bustling counter-service brunch spot turns into a relaxing dinner environment with table-service and engaged service staff. The beet agnolotti is currently the top contender for best pasta in LA. The sweetness! the savoryness! the flavor perfection! I could eat it every day! read more
