    This place has good food. Their service is great and the ambience is fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

    Boit Mernem Sandwich  Classic Burger with Fries

    Absolutely loved the food at World Cafe! The sandwich was a 10/10 and the burger was a solid 9. The fries were also delicious! The workers were incredibly nice! The outdoor seating had a heater and music playing and it felt incredibly cozy to be here. Definitely would come back! Especially because they told us they're adding way more options to their menu soon! Can't wait to try more :)

    The burger is as big as the takeout carrier!

    Food was great (massive serving for what you pay). I had the burger and it did not disappoint. If you are anywhere near LA, I'd suggest taking a quick drive to try the food. Small business with quality ingredients and hometown feeling service. I'm from the Bay Area, and when I come next, I'll be sure to visit.

    Very small, very good for a quick passing-by bite on the fly. The Philly Steak sandwich was wonderful, prepared in front of my eyes, with fresh and crispy bread. Mmmh, perfect for what it was!

    SO DELICIOUS! Found this gem on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Every bite was full of flavor, and the pickles are amazing! Outdoor seating available, friendly staff.

    Chicken Burger (with Cheese & Mushrooms)

    Hungry. Looking for food. Friend suggests World Cafe. I'm always game to try new places. Always. This is the way. The fatty way. First - follow the instructions. Don't blink. You'll pass it up. Street parking. On Verdugo. And on California. Small lot in back. Don't know if it's for the laundromat only. Check signage. No table service. Order. Find a seat. Probably outdoors. Small counter inside. Good for three. Maybe four people. Outdoor covered seating. Again, no table service. Need something - go to the counter. Though no service - staff (cashier + cook), so friendly. So nice. Not sure if they're the owners. So, on to the food ... Ordered a Chicken Burger (with mushrooms & cheese) + fries. Plus a Roast Beef Sandwich. See pics. Free drink with Yelp check in. Got a Coke. So delicious. So good. Ingredients just hit the spot. The special sauce added to the flavor. Was skeptical of the Yelp rating. Always nice when the ratings are spot on.

    Roast beef sandwich combo (with soda)

    Delicious roast beef sandwich with an exotic twist! Their roast beef alone is already good, but they added onions, parsley, cucumber and spices which makes it a delight on every bite. The dip is just right for both the sandwich and fries. Only order the fries when you're really hungry, because the portion is pretty big. Overall it's a hearty meal combo and the price reflects it. Oh and they no longer honor the check in free soda.

    Philly cheesesteak sandwich.

    I can't believe I found this Hidden GEM . You probably drove right by this precious hole in the wall countless times unnoticed . Place feels like They made me feel welcomed. Service was great wholesome attitude. I purchased 2x Philly Cheesesteak sandwich COMBO, $20 flat each. Which is more than fair for a 12 inch sandwich fries and a can soda . As I was paying I ran into the kind owner/chef , ‍ who by the way he spoke, you can sense his genuine love and enthusiasm for the food he makes and sells, as he introduced his new menu items. He said , They have Alfredo pasta now ( I wish he had a pink sauce, because the creamy and acidity of the marinara for me is *chefs kiss * hint hint wink wink ) lol . He also mentioned " Kabob bites" I was in a rush so I didn't get to ask what that was. I am eager go find out. You can taste the fresh, high quality ingredients that was used, along with the care that was put forth when preparing and made . Very clean, natural, high quality beef, not oily, perfectly salted and seasoned! The bread was soft and has just the right amount of elasticity , for lack of better description. They either make it themselves or gets it fresh daily or got it from a local bakery ‍ . Breads thickness created the perfect meat to cheese and veggie ratio. . The sauce really brightens up and takes Philly Cheesesteak and takes it to another level. The Philly was too good as you can see in this photo! We couldn't even wait to take a good photo! I would ask for more sauce on the side next time, it perfectly balanced , straight up harmony so fire ! If you, like myself is starting to feel the food you consume due to age . lol you will really appreciate the mastery in these crafted sandwiches from this joint! I can't wait to try their other menu items, Money well spent , totally % worth it. Hands down the BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK sandwich I have ever had. WELL 5 STARS

My mother‑in‑law and our family friends had been before and spoke very highly of it. We originally booked a reservation for three people for Mother's Day, and when our friends became available, the restaurant was kind enough to expand it to six. They offered us a lounge area since they were fully booked, and we appreciated the effort to accommodate us on such a busy holiday. Parking was crowded because of the occasion, so we arrived a little late. Once we checked in, the staff seated us in the lounge setup, which had five couch‑style seats and one regular chair that did not quite match the arrangement. We asked if any other tables were available because the terrace looked fairly open, but we were told the lounge was the only option unless we preferred to sit indoors. We chose to stay outside, and although it felt a little unusual to see open terrace tables throughout our visit, we still enjoyed the atmosphere. Service was friendly and attentive. There were a couple of small hiccups, such as our seasonal pizza being forgotten during a server switch and our fries being left off the order. Everything else arrived smoothly, and the Descanso Member drink was a highlight. It was refreshing, flavorful, and a great value. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, especially the beautiful setting. I look forward to coming back another time to sit at their large bar for a cocktail and an appetizer.

The good: Although small, the way this burger is constructed makes sense. Good, fresh ingredients with a nice crunch and somewhat decent hamburger patty. The price is right. $6 for a single. A square deal in today's insane landscape. The bad: the bun sucks. Like most burgers out there, the bun lacks in freshness and ingredients. Bake your own buns. Also, the sauce can be annoying. Yet, the pickles are thick and good. I would come again if in the area.
