Went here with a good friend and order the BLT along with an oat milk latte…read more Both were A-MAZING and we both chose to sit outside on a Sunday morning around 10 AM. It was a bit busy, but nothing too crazy. Very very manageable. The cashier was kind and patient with us ordering, and our food came out at a reasonable time. I think the conversation I was having at the time made it feel like it came out instantly after sitting. Definitely would love to come back.

We went on a whim on a late Saturday morning and at first, it seemed too busy and the line seemed…read moretoo long but we waited only about 5-7 mins to order and you are seated once you order and pay so don't be intimidated by the line when you first go inside. This place is great for meet-ups and groups that want to settle their own tab because you order first, pay, then are seated. (They help you find seating!) Parking: 7/10. This is a residential neighborhood and from what I saw, there was no parking lot so we had to find street parking. Facility: 9/10. The place isn't huge but it has indoor and outdoor seating. Flies may be an issue but I always bring eucalyptus spray to ward them away. The place was busy but they did a good job keeping it clean. Bathroom was clean! Food: Beef Bulgogi breakfast burrito: 9/10: I love breakfast burritos (I don't eat pork) but I hate fatty meat but was told it wasn't too fatty and it wasn't too bad. Very tasty and the pico was fresh and a perfect addition. I loved the crispiness of the tots inside and the flavors meshed well together. I would get this again! Side of turkey bacon! 10/10! For those that don't eat pork, this was a win. We didn't see it on the menu but I asked and they said they have it! Yaay!!! Croissant French toast: 8/10: this wasn't really traditional French toast (wasn't cooked in eggs). It was a croissant dipped in coconut milk with fresh fruit and whipped cream. I'm not a fan of the coconut taste so it wasn't my favorite but hubby seemed to like it. Drinks: Iced blueberry matcha xtra sweet & xtra blueberry flavor w/almond milk: 10/10. This was good and I'd get it again. They made it JUST how I requested it! Iced strawberry matcha w/almond milk: 10/10: This was good! Both matchas didn't have that dirt/earthy taste so they were both winners. Service: 10/10. Absolutely no issues from the order/service counter to the cute lady that bussed our dishes. Everyone was really nice. We will be back!

Huge Thank you to Armando & Dimitri !!…read more we came for my birthday dinner with my family & i've come before and didn't have the best experience. But this visit made up for it definitely.

I had the chance to have breakfast here last weekend, and unfortunately everything was delightful…read moreexcept for witnessing the owner, Joey, berate a young server on the porch in front of guests. I recognize I only saw part of the interaction, so I don't know everything that led up to it. However, from what I witnessed, it was uncomfortable to watch an employee being lectured publicly. The interaction continued with repeated calls for her to "smile" in front of customers, which only made the situation more awkward for everyone nearby. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've observed this type of behavior. One of the reasons I continue to come back is because the staff--from Mary to the newer members of the team--are consistently friendly, hardworking, and provide excellent service. They deserve to be treated with the same respect they show their customers. The food and service were excellent, but watching an employee be publicly reprimanded put a damper on what otherwise would have been a great breakfast. The only reason I'm not giving this restaurant 5 stars is because of the owner's behavior. The food and the staff were excellent, but watching an employee be publicly reprimanded in front of guests significantly took away from what otherwise would have been a wonderful experience.

We ordered: Duck chili - good and flavorful Duck Chili Omelet- it was devoured Atlantis Melt- Roasted Turkey with coleslaw grilled on rye with jack cheese and sweet potato fries.

We should have ordered more. The staff was so sweet and so was the owner. Would definitely back for more.

An overdue review from earlier this month when I dropped in with a friend specifically for their…read moreMartini Mondays! We had made plans to hang out on a Monday and found that most of the restaurants we had been dying to go to were closed, so I turned to social media to find a cute spot for a girl dinner date...they even have a "girl dinner" special! While we didn't opt for that combo this time, everything we got was utter perfection. To start, we were greeted warmly by Alanna (I'm probably butchering the spelling; sorry, girl!) and invited in, and because The Attic occupies a cute old home on the corner it really felt like being welcomed in by a friend. She was exceptional, and was so excited when we mentioned Martini Mondays and kindly explained some of the menu for us and pointed at her favorites as we were visiting for the first time and love getting recs from those in the know! Best dirty vodka olive martini I've had since visiting Commander's Palace in NOLA; if you know, you know... the cornbread with honey butter was a phenomenal choice. We also raved over the wedge salad which had this curry crumble that honestly paired so well with the blue cheese and bacon, absolutely lovely take on an old classic while still being familiar and comforting. The lemon pasta dish (I don't recall the exact name) was perfect for a hot summer evening, it felt refreshing but also filling, probably one of the best pastas I've eaten this year in southern California. Thanks to Alanna we had the best time here, but everyone was so friendly and on top of their game! We will absolutely be back, and I look forward to trying some of their other specials and seasonal menu changes! ETA: I forgot about the beignets! So, these were not my favorite because I like a big, pillowy beignets and these reminded me of funnel cake a bit more than an authentic beignet--but honestly if they turned these into funnel fries they would be to die for, especially since the included jam was excellent! Just some constructive crit !

Great place for a great meal

Im the type of person that likes burgers from fast food joints. I havent had a good burger from a…read morenon-fast food restaurant until i tried one of the burgers from bushfire. Their regular cheeseburger (i dont remember the name) was quite yummy. I tried another burger that had some "spice" to it (also forgot the name), but i wouldnt get that again because there was a lot going on. Overall, the burgers are hit or partial misses. Their fries are also very delish, crispy, and come in a decent portion. Although, i dont like the aoili that comes with the fries. Something about the aoili does not match well with the fries in my opinion, and i normally LOVE sauces. Honestly, the fries are better off without any sauce besides ketchup.

Cool, they can make it. what I got was a cup of coffee in a to go cup (even though I was dining in) with milk and a foam, so really what I got was a flat white. the other coffee ordered was a latte which was pretty standard I ordered the chicken sandwich ($12) which comes on a biscuit and a side of fruit, to round it out I also ordered the yogurt bowl which is yogurt and granola. When the sandwich came out it looked rather disappointing. The biscuit itself is small, probably the size of a Pillsbury dough biscuit, and the chicken wasn't much bigger. nothing else on it like a green, coleslaw, sauce, etc. just these two items. However, it did come with a side of a honey butter. the side of fruit was about 8 pieces split between pineapple, melon, and grapes. the whole sandwich was dry, which can be expected from a biscuit, but this was just too dry for me. the yogurt bowl($8) came in a small bowl that had a large flaring, basically the entire dish was large but the bowl portion was small. I eat yogurt everyday and the amount you get is probably half the size of a standard serving of yogurt (170g) and it was sparsely sprinkled with granola. my partner ordered a chorizo burrito ($15) and while she raved about the flavor the size of it was laughable, especially considering there are plenty of spots in LB that serve double or even triple the size of this burrito at or near the same price lastly, and the most disappointing of all, was the cinnamon roll($8). they were on display at the register and figured yeah I want one of those and instead of giving it to me right then and there it was brought with the rest of the food but it was not warmed up, which made me question why I waited for it. It was rool temp, burnt, and hard. I do want to try other items but the price you pay for what you get, especially considering this experience I had, is off putting.

Just like all the other negative reviews say, this place is simply overpriced for what you get…read more Service is good, no issue there, but the base of this place doesn't have it together. They've lost long time customers and it's the same with me. Belmont shores is a small town with word of mouth. Sometimes restaurants don't know what they are loosing by treating one customer with lack of effort in making a $35 dish. Ripple effect is real.
