"Contrary to popular belief, famous people do sometimes eat food during the day. It just gets tricky in this town because pretty much any brunch/lunch spot that has decent food will also have a line out the door. Mustard Seed is the exception. This tiny sidewalk cafe in Los Feliz is directly across the street from the influencer apocalypse that is Alcove, but might as well be in a different city. You’re always able to find a table, no one stands on chairs to take photos of their food, and your friend who just wrapped their first season on HBO won’t be asked to perform in a stranger's TikTok." - brant cox
"While every person who paid for their Instagram followers takes photos of themselves and their food at Alcove, across the street is Mustard Seed - a casual sidewalk cafe with better food, a better space, and a crowd of people whose phones are in their pockets. You want to be at Mustard Seed. Their buttermilk pancakes and egg scrambles are excellent, and they have a turkey burger that won’t embarrass you for ordering a turkey burger." - brant cox
"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

"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
