"I grab a breakfast burrito and a matcha Americano at Dialog Cafe — I need to stay hydrated — and it’s actually one of my favorite spots in LA." - Lale Arikoglu
"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
"A Los Angeles café that released a Strawberry Kiss smoothie explicitly inspired by a ColourPop lip balm; the collaboration exemplifies the article's critique of food-beauty tie-ins, turning a menu item into a marketing echo of a cosmetic product and prompting questions about whether such novelty enhances the eating experience or simply serves as a gimmick." - Jaya Saxena
"A Sunset Strip patio destination built for people-watching — influencers in white, brunching types, and hangover-nursing partiers — where parking is difficult and the menu aims to be friendly and unassuming. The chicken Caesar wrap is described as "savant-like in its alchemy": the tortilla is toasted (a Mission-burrito–style trick that adds stretch and flavor), and the interior contains generous finely shredded chicken, a fresh-tasting bed of chicory, liberal Parmesan cheese and sesame breadcrumbs, and a dusting of cracked black pepper. The dressing ratio is "just right," described as homemade and creamy rather than watery or overbearing, unifying the textures; at $14.95 it’s noted as affordably priced and versatile enough to “cure a hangover” or be followed by a Pilates class an hour later." - Hilary Pollack
"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." - brant cox, sylvio martins
