The Sycamore Kitchen - AVO COBB FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH Passion fruit agua fresca Everything tasted so fresh Great atmosphere Friendly and attentive staff - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A cute casual cafe in a cute area for shopping. I liked that this brunch spot wasn't overly crowded, sometimes you just want great food without squeezing past people or standing in lines on a weekend morning! We got some cafes, the banh mi sandwich, and the short rib sandwich. The short rib sandwich was packed with meat and served nice and warm. The banh mi sandwich was definitely a fusion style (made with turkey and a different kind of bread from the traditional style), and I enjoyed it as a lighter option. The seating area was cute with good indoor and outdoor seating. I would come again! read more

I've lost track of how many times I've been to Sycamore Kitchen- it's so good! Food is always delicious and also on the healthier side, drinks are decent and pastries look amazing (these I've yet to try). My favorites are the Yucatán and Jerusalem Bowls. It's a great spot to catch up with friends or dine by yourself. Staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Lines can get long during the weekend, it's open seating but there's plenty of seating inside and outside so that's never been an issue in my experience. Street parking in the neighborhood or meters upfront recommended! read more

Had breakfast here for the first time this weekend. Came in right as they opened. I had the avocado toast and a side of chicken apple sausage. Everything was great. Worth noting that you order at the counter at this establishment and they bring the food to your table. Also a dog-friendly spot! read more

I had to take a trip to LA for an audition. It went very well hip hip hooray After finishing, I was hungry now my wife joined me for this trip. Nice day out beautiful ride. We found the Sycamore kitchen delightful attentive. My wife had her fluffy eggs with avocado. She was thoroughly happy They had pancakes and I'm a bit of a pancake snob. They were fantastic. My only recommendation is to ask for more syrup and it was good syrup, but yeah poor it all over those pancakes. They were hot when they were delivered to the table. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere delightful read more

Service was spot on. Parking is horrible when you see a spot grab it. Rookie mistake went on NBA all stars weekend and I think they all were on LA Brea when we went. The bar was my least favorite but the banana bundt cake I wish I bought more. I barely got a taste of the lemon as my son would not share. Cute place plan to come back for more items. read more

First time here and this place is amazing. I have the Yucatan Bowl and it was not what I was expecting. The Bowl ended up being delicious. I had a piece of the croque madame and it's your normal sandwich that just taste o so good. The best part of this brunch, was seeing Jesse Williams (Greys Anatomy) walking in and eating there as well. read more

I really enjoyed this spot! Went with the cured salmon toast, I do wish it was on a regular toast, they serve this on more of a toast cracker. It came with a side salad and as silly as it sounds that was a huge standout. It was simple but so perfectly seasoned and dressed which shows their care and attention. I also ordered an ice cubano and that was pretty delicious! Their dessert options are also quality. The space itself was so pretty and inviting, I 100% recommend and will be back read more

I always make it a point to grab lunch here when I'm in town. The food is delicious with lots of healthy options (falafel bowl is always great) & the baked goods are divine. Ahem -I say again, the baked goods are DIVINE! If they have agua fresca (regardless what flavor it is) do yourself a favor & try it, so refreshing especially on warmer days. Generally pretty busy but service is quick, the line to order moves fast & there's lots of seating. read more

We have not been to SK for a bit but our memories were outstanding! Today my husband and I went for lunch- he had his usual chicken sandwich I had a salad. My salad was really good- a special of the day, but my husband's sandwich came out I looked at it & just saw bun NO chicken- or at least I thought the chicken was missing. He said no it's in the sandwich but honestly so small I couldn't see. He felt like he was eating a bread sandwich. So disappointing- I know it's shrinkflation but come on charge a bit more and actually give a chicken breast that fits the bun. read more

Nothing -- not a single thing -- we ordered here was good. Came here on Sunday afternoon for lunch and got the Mediterranean Salad, Chicken Salad Toast, and Deviled Eggs. I'm not one to reach for salt -- ever! But everything we had was bland. Nothing was heavy about anything we ordered, but we couldn't even finish it because of the flavor all of it lacked. Skip this spot -- plenty of other "cute" places on this block better worthy of your appetite and money. read more

Have visited this place a couple times since being in LA and everything I have gotten so far has been amazing! Their drinks, pastries, and food are all very photogenic and all very tasty. The indoor and outdoor seating is top tier. Even tho it is next to a busy road, you still feel like you're in a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It does get busy sometimes but even then I have still always been able to find seating. read more

Not the biggest fan... my friend and I ordered the Spanish latte + pork belly hash and the both of us ended up getting sick. Food was bland and the Spanish latte wasn't the best. Only option for hot sauce is tapatio. Our other friend got the salmon toast and didn't like it either but was fortunate enough and didn't get sick. The establishment also needs to be more upfront about the 3% service charge, along with asking for 15-25% tip. read more

I tried this place while I was in the area because the outdoor seating looked great. I wanted to eat outside. I ordered a Mediterranean salad and it was really tasty. The mix of feta, dates, and raisins added a nice twist to the flavors. The service was fast and on point. I really recommend. read more

A lovely little cafe with limited indoor seating and a crowded patio. Long lines at the counter - scrounging a table first is key to this place. The food is good but not special. I had butternut squash soup with coconut milk which was good but too sweet and I didn't taste any coconut, I had to doctor with hot sauce to give it more complexity. I also had the ginger chicken salad which was good but for me a little one note, it could have used some onions fresh cilantro or mint some more acid a vinegar note perhaps it was a decent effort but I wouldn't rush back to this place for the food. read more

S. La Brea has become the home of so many diverse and wonderful food choices... every time I am lunching either at Sugarfish or here, I see new stores offering cool and unusual clothing choices, wonderful bakeries and desserts. Parking is challenging ( especially with the recent amount of construction going on) and the traffic delays add time to one's commute there. However, this restaurant is my favorite place for meetings and catch ups! Today, my friend Ann and I enjoyed delicious TURKEY BANH MI and a ROAST TURKEY SANDWICH with Turkey, cherry mostarda, camembert cheese, red romaine, and mayo. Both were on fantastic tasting and crusty bread. Everything is so fresh here. This restaurant has been open for quite a while. I only discovered it a few months ago. Because it was so cold out, we sat inside and we talked and laughed and ate for almost 2 1/2 hours... Waitstaff and everyone working there are pure delights! Highly recommended and FYI, they close at 4 PM. read more

Well my second review for this place. Today I had the brown sugar apple tart and was delightful. The right amount of sweetness and not overpowering. Inside was gooey apple deliciousness and on the outside very nice and brittle. With coffee you can't go wrong to satisfy your sweet tooth. Yelp-o-meter: 5 of 5 read more

This place is perfect for a work lunch or working remotely! Huge patio seating. Two restrooms for customers and a diverse menu. Turkey bahn mi- YAY! The bread and the sauce were my favorite things about this sandwich. Turkey was a bit dry, but with the sauce and moist bread it all paired well! Pork Belly dish- my friend ordered this and practically licked the plate clean, but I unfortunately am unable to eat pork! Coffees were creative and tasty. read more

Believe the hype! Perfectly located because it happens to be walking distance from me. Street parking can be a bit of a challenge so walking here is always a nice option b. I dropped by a couple weeks back, but we got a bev and dessert to go. Our plan was always to come back for a proper meal. We dropped in after a Sunday hike so we were sweaty and hungry. Unfortunately for us some of the items on the brunch menu were no longer available. Our intention was to get 3 items, but we got two instead with the game plan that we would get something else if we were still hungry. I wasn't sure how big the portion was going to be. It totally worked out that we only got two items. The three tacos were pretty hefty and the salad was packed. We got our desserts to go. The vibe here is super chill. I love the outdoor area. It's definitely a plus when you have a pet with you. Not pictured is the order of cold brew iced coffee I had that was so damn good I almost got another one to go. read more

We like the Sycamore Kitchen very well. The buttermilk rye pancakes are outstanding. The pastries are also very good. The coffee is OK. The cappuccino size is very small. Interestingly, the couple they use for regular coffee is more than twice the size. read more

Bland Cobb salad dressing Banh mi was ok but weird to have it between 2 slices of bread. Hibiscuss tea was diluted. You wait in line and order at the counter and they bring the food to you when ready. Of course they expect a full tip for this. read more

Food is okay, not great and not bad. Service was really bad. We ordered To Go 30 minutes ahead of time. The man the register seemed really annoyed and was pretty rude.

Great food, love the atmosphere ! Especially like the salmon open sandwich. Their pastries are fantastic! Always consistent!

As a seat yourself cafe, I was very impressed by the service. All the open tables were cleared of plates and crumbs, and food and silverware were both still brought out to you. Drinks were both very good, would highly recommend the ginger limemade (which includes free refills). I also got a carrot buttermilk cake that very moist and definitely get again. read more

Food. Delicious. I had the pork belly eggs benedict and deviled eggs and both were excellent. Extensive menu options and plenty of vegetarian choices. Ordering Process. Similar to Urth Cafe, this is not my favorite set up. You have to stand in line and order and then go find a table and wait for them to bring your food. Prices. Reasonable for the quality of food. Service. Excellent. The staff brought more hot water for my tea and refilled our water glasses. They also clean and turn the tables quickly. Parking. Street/metered parking is available or, if you can find it, there is 2-hour free side street parking on 1st street (about a block away). To stay more than two hours, you must have a permit. read more
