"Even after almost 10 years, this enduring all-day Echo Park restaurant remains one of the best stops in the neighborhood for daytime dining. The menu leans into a very LA style of eating — produce is sourced locally from farmers practicing regenerative agriculture, and the breads are gluten-free, made with flours like buckwheat and hazelnut. The ayocote beans and greens dish, made with beans from Rancho Gordo, is a standout: leek and garlic confit kale is nestled into soft beans that swim in a chipotle broth, topped with a bright orange sunny-side-up egg and a drizzle of cilantro oil and pistachio salsa macha. It’s reminiscent of frijoles de la olla and hits just right even on a hot day. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Southern California/Southwest." - Matthew Kang
"Sit down in Honey Hi’s bright, inviting dining room for a gluten-free all-day experience in Los Angeles. That means everything on the menu is gluten-free, including the pancakes, buckwheat sourdough toasts, and hearty lamb sandwich. (This place is 100 percent Celiac-friendly.) Foolproof dishes include the creamy chive-flecked eggs served with buckwheat sourdough or the breakfast sandwich piled with caramelized fennel, onions, arugula, and avocado mash. Just about every dish can be ordered with meat or modified to be vegetarian or vegan-friendly." - Nicole Adlman
"Open since 2016, Honey Hi is a long-standing Echo Park daytime cafe. The menu feels very California, with fresh produce and local meats guiding the menu. The breakfast bowl with sweet potato hash and poached egg is a morning classic, while the kabocha gluten-free pancakes offer a morning option for those avoiding wheat. The light-filled dining room is the ideal spot to take in some rays while sipping on some coffee, matcha, or broth." - Rebecca Roland
"The small but mighty Honey Hi is a fully gluten-free restaurant that also deals in bright all-day fare like vegetable-laden bowls, heaping salads, and sandwiches. Oat-y, kabocha-spiced pancakes flew over the counter in waves; the diner next to me 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 Honey Hi, whether by yourself or with friends, and you often feel light enough after to take a walk around glittering Echo Park lake, which is just around the corner." - Eater Staff
"A trip to the fully-GF Honey Hi for colorful smoothies and seasonal grain bowls is such a refreshing experience you might consider leaving town to go start a hemp farm in Ojai. If you’re on a GF diet and craving pancakes and bread, this is the place. Our must-order is the Moroccan-spiced Lambwich, a perfect combination of a lamb-beef patty and halloumi with an acidic punch. The laid-back atmosphere with quick in-and-out traffic makes it great for solo diners, and you can entertain yourself by perking up to the ’90s alt playlist." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder
