"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
"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
