The Restaurants Los Angeles Lost to the 2025 Eaton and Palisades Fires | Eater LA
"After operating for years in Highland Park, the owner opened a second location in Altadena in 2021 and was embraced for a casual all-day breakfast and lunch menu: cardamom date granola, a vegan breakfast burrito, almond-flour pancakes, green eggs with potatoes, salads, bowls, and sandwiches. One of the location’s strengths was an extensive coffee, tea, and fresh-juice program; regulars also came for an oat crumble bar, lemon poppy muffin, or pumpkin seed miso cookie — all made in-house. The restaurant sat next door to an 80-year-old hardware store; drone footage after the Eaton Fire shows the location and the surrounding neighborhood in devastating ruin. The owner has started a GoFundMe to help with recovery. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
