"This small but mighty spot is a fully gluten-free restaurant serving bright all-day fare like vegetable-laden bowls, heaping salads, and sandwiches — an ideal brunch bet heading into the holidays. On a recent visit the breakfast bowl was “packed with market greens, sweet potato homefries, glistening chunks of bacon, avocado, and a poached egg, all punched up with sumac and fresh herbs.” Oat-y, kabocha-spiced pancakes “flew over the counter in waves,” and a diner nearby dug into the lambwich, a behemoth sandwich stacked with a grilled lamb-and-beef patty, halloumi, arugula, pickled onions, and tamarind date chutney on gluten-free sourdough. There’s no wrong way to visit, whether solo or with friends, and you often feel light enough afterward to take a walk around the nearby glittering Echo Park lake." - Eater Staff
