Dialog Cafe

"Outside of last call when everybody’s figuring out who to go home with on Santa Monica Boulevard, Weho’s most alive during weekend brunch. The neighborhood becomes a mixer for bachelorettes, hungover hookups, and tourists looking for a drag show. At the center of it all is Dialog. Drive by this corner cafe at 11am and you’ll see lines wrapped around the block with people taking photos of other people taking photos. What are they waiting for? Not the mediocre food, which is available at any place serving eggs after the sun rises. Unless your version of a fun brunch involves staring at the Bullwinkle statue while Tesla drivers whip by mere inches from your table, Dialog is skippable. " - brant cox

"For some, the most important element of a Weho brunch is feeling like you’re in the heart of the action. Currently, that’s Dialog. Drive by this corner cafe at 11am on a Saturday and you’ll see lines y that rival the Supreme store across the street. What are all these people taking photos of other people taking photos waiting for? Not Dialog’s food, which is mediocre—including a signature breakfast burrito that’s bland until you douse it with Tapatio. We suppose it’s the front patio with unobstructed views of the Bullwinkle statue and Tesla drivers whipping around the corner with a phone in one hand and a vape in the other.

"It’s been hard to see important places like Dialogue close, though the one that hits closest to my heart is probably Broken Spanish." - Matthew Kang

"Dialogue, which has one Michelin star, normally spreads over twenty courses over a two-hour meal in its small dining room — not exactly ideal for takeout." - Matthew Kang
