I recently visited Yellow Button Cafe on Santa Monica Boulevard, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. They offer breakfast, and lunch, everything we tried was delicious--definitely one of the better cafecito-style spots I've been to. The French toast was my favorite dish by far. It was super delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I loved that I was able to add eggs and bacon to it, which made it even better and more filling. We also tried the club sandwich, and it did not disappoint. It was very tasty, but my favorite part was the mustard that was added it gave the sandwich a completely different flavor and really elevated it. Mustard is one of my favorite condiments on sandwiches, so that was a big win for me. On top of the great food, the staff was very helpful and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, great food, good vibes, and friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu. read more

Good service, cozy atmosphere, clean restaurants. Street parking is available and I did not have an issue finding a spot. I really enjoyed the seasonal mint mocha latte (much better than Starbucks peppermint mocha because it used crème de menthe), the Horchata latte was very good as well. The churro croissant was perfectly chewy. The breakfast croissant sandwich was fresh and made to order. I'll have to try one of the smoothies next time! read more

Yellow Button Cafe - French toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a cozy coffee shop that lives up to its name - lots of yellow highlights in the store, in a brightening way. It's pleasant. Good selection of standard espresso drinks as well as the store's own creations. I appreciate that they have real food, not just pastries. I ordered a cafe de olla latte. They have decaf and non-dairy milk options. I also got an avocado toast. Knocked off one star because: 1) I waited nearly 20 minutes for my order. There were only 2 people ahead of me, with 2 more people coming in after. I saw at least one guy getting his drink before I got my order. 2) After I had been waiting for a while, the barista / staff person told me they were out of avocados. That was disappointing and cut out many options, so I ended up replacing my original order with a PB&J toast. However, the staff person didn't even offer to refund the difference in the price of the avocado vs PB&J toast. The difference was just $1, so, whatever right? But I did already tip and now I was being inconvenienced, yet paying more to not get what I originally wanted. Alls I'm saying is, the offer to refund the difference would have been the proper thing to do. I probably wouldn't even have taken the dollar anyway, but I should have been given the option. Maybe it was just an off morning. Maybe someone called off, but 1 worker during morning rush is not great. The shop has a good atmosphere and the barista was quiet but friendly. If you're in a rush to get to work like I was, maybe don't come here or order ahead. Overall, I'd probably give them another try. My latte was fine, a bit over sweet for my taste. The PB&J was yummy, beautiful (see pic), and a generous portion. Parking can be challenging on a busy street (Santa Monica Ave.) read more

Yellow Button Café is a small coffee and tea shop in LA. They offer breakfast and brunch as well as hot/cold drinks. Its interior design was modest with limited seats albeit spacious to walk around. Furthermore, they have free wifi which was good for remote work professional or students. Prices seem fair and reasonable for the area. Atmosphere was relaxing. Service was mildly slow even if it's not busy. I had a Hibiscus Lemonade (S). It was ordinary but suffice to say it's okay. I would try their coffee next time. Overall, it's an okay coffee shop. read more

Ordered an egg white breakfast burrito with a chipotle aioli, sooo great and made to order with fresh ingredients Cozy interior with friendly staff! Would def come again read more

This is a nice place. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was friendly. However, this is not your typical grab and go coffee shop because everything here is made fresh. So if you want a quick grab and go coffee and bagel, this is not the spot. Everything is made fresh here, so you can't just drop by for that quick ham and cheese croissant, which is unfortunate because sometimes that's what you need on a busy rush hour type of morning. A quick coffee and bagel to go and get about your day. Today was not the day for me, and hopefully when I have more time before work, I can properly try this place, but until then, I will stick to my quick grab and go. read more

I love this place! The horchata latte is perfect and their other flavored lattes are delicious as well. They are pushing out outstanding food from behind the counter. It's magic. The breakfast panini, jalapeño croissant sandwich and breakfast burrito were all amazing. I plan on working thru the full menu because it's all been great. And the black sesame dressing that was on the side salad with the panini! read more

I came to the Yellow Button Cafe for a good coffee and that's exactly what I got. Ordered the Horchata Latte and their Breakfast Panini, both were great! If your looking for some top quality pastries this is also the place to go, they get there pasties every morning from Home Boy industry (another great company). The service is also something to bring attention to as they were very quick with the food and had the most patience for my indecisive self lol. Definitely a spot to check out if you're by East Hollywood or just cruising by Santa Monica Blvd. 5/5 easy. read more

Got a vanilla latte here yesterday and it was the most vile drink I've ever had. I couldn't even finish it. It tasted like pure syrup and milk, couldn't even taste the espresso. Maybe stick to drip coffee if you decide to get caffeine here... read more

CUTE AND COZY AT THE YELLOW BUTTON Located in the East Hollywood area where there are no cute coffee shops around unless you walk a mile and end up in Silverlake or Hollywood, this place is perfectly situated and perfectly convenient for the people in that neighborhood. You walk in and what immediately greets you is the delicious pastries beautifully displayed. Having been here many times, the owners and baristas are incredibly nice and helpful. They're coffee is superb and their food offerings are vast. From their signature churro croissant to their coffee cakes, special pumpkin spice cupcakes for the season, carrot cake, bagels, and home made waffles and berries plate. But there's even more that I have yet to try. If you're looking for a place to do some homework, WFH, draw, or just read your latest book, this is the place to be. If you're looking for a place to bring friends to catch up on the latest gossip, this also is a great place to hang out. Check out the Yellow Button Cafe if you're in the East Hollywood area. read more
