It's been a bit of time since I gave a review, nothing but 4s and higher; as life after the pandemic (one can argue we are still in it), service increasingly getting better and better. This review is only for takeout via Uber Eats, not dine-in.
Pros:
- Uber Eats FTW!
- Order was correct
- Came quick
Side Notes:
- Ordered Sunday around 11 AM
- Open Daily from 8 AM to 3 or 4 PM
- Uber Eats Delivery (not a dine-in review)
- Closed on Sundays
- Check hours on timing
What We Ordered:
- Avocado Toast
- Bacon on the side
- Cold Brew
Again, this is not for a dine-in experience, as this was delivered via Uber Eats. The disappointment comes from a few areas, including (1) Not getting the complete avocado toast order, (2) meager portions of toppings, and (3) the eggs softened up the side of that toast. Let me get into the review below.
Hours: They are open M - F (8 AM - 3 PM) and S + SU (8 AM - 4 PM).
Wait: The time was better since we ordered online via Uber Eats. We did the expedited service on Uber Eats to get it faster, as we wanted to split the Avocado toast since it looked so big in pictures on Yelp!
Parking: I don't know about parking, but the reviews make it sound that you can find ample parking around the area. Plus, a nice walk around that area is always great when you live in LA!
Customer Service: N/A, as we didn't dine in.
What We Loved: The taste was about a 7 out of 10. It's pretty good, but I would have loved to get an entire order we paid for online. The cold brew was decent, but the online deliveries may need to improve the quality. I'll mention some opportunities for the restaurant in the following section.
Opportunities/Misc: It is a hot spot, and I'm sure the in-dining experience is much better than what we got from Uber Eats. Please check your order before letting it out to be delivered, as the order felt rushed (see image). Putting the avocado toast in one box so that you don't have to flip it on top of each other would be ideal. The top of the toast in the image hardly had any avocado, making it feel like it was half order (I ordered the $18 avo toast).
I expected the egg to have cooked less, so the runniness was a bit there, but it settled like a boiled egg. The bacon could have been crisper, but I fixed that with the air fryer at home. It would be great to add condiments to the order, such as Tapitio or similar, as it didn't come with that either. Feeling that toppings were skimped out (e.g., edible flowers - check out the other images of avocado toast on Yelp photos), the order was less than complete, and the lack of thought of putting the eggs together where they touched the bread (softened the bread area) disappointed us.
We'll try the in-dining at one point, but this felt like an afterthought. Granted, the staff may have been busy and short-handed, so I want to think about what could have happened. However, for our first impression, it could have been more pleasant. Spending $20 on avo toast (+ $5 poached eggs add-on), $6 for cold brew, $4.50 for 4 slices of bacon, and a 20% tip gave us higher than average expectations.
