"If you aren’t quite ready for Alcove’s massive patio just yet, head down the block to Mustard Seed. The casual Los Feliz cafe is the antithesis to its perpetually crowded neighbor - there’s a calm atmosphere, good food, and a crowd that isn’t completely made up of people pitching their pilots to their roommates. We head to Mustard Seed when we have 30 minutes to spare and want a simple deli sandwich or chopped salad that’ll keep us full until dinnertime." - brant cox, kat hong, arden shore
"Voted the “Spot Most Likely to See That One Guy Who Was In That Thing And Oh Man, What’s His Name?” Mustard Seed Cafe is a simple sidewalk cafe that serves standard (but tasty) breakfast and lunch options to the neighborhood's cable TV stars, of which there are many. Think tuna melts, six different kinds of quesadillas, and turkey bacon and egg croissant sandwiches, plus plenty of “healthy” options, if that’s what you’re into." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Mustard Seed is about as local as it gets in Los Feliz, which is just the way we like our brunch. Another thing we like: breakfast foods until 4:30pm every day. The menu is fairly healthy in general - egg whites, tofu, and frittatas all make appearances - but there’s also a section dedicated to “Protein and Fitness Specialties”, including the very intensely named Power Burrito." - jess basser sanders, brett keating
"Someone who graduated from the same acting program as you did just emailed as if you’re long lost friends. You don’t know who this person is or how they got your email, but one or two “my dad owns some shares at FOX” later and you’re meeting up for lunch. Make moves to Mustard Seed. The low-key sidewalk cafe in Los Feliz has good food across-the-board, efficient service, and plenty of fun celebrities to point out when you realize neither one of you can get each other a job." - brant cox
"If Alcove isn’t your speed today (or any day), you’re in luck. Just up the block is Mustard Seed - a casual sidewalk cafe with zero waits and a surprisingly strong menu. Their chopped salad is massive and good for two meals, and their turkey burger won’t make you sad either. They’re only open till 4pm every day, but the bonus is they serve breakfast until close." - brant cox
