We tried to go to Fratelli Cafe (right across the street from here) on a Sunday around 1230 and it was an hour wait, so we tried Stone St instead. It was very not busy; there was zero wait and the service was super friendly. There is also a pretty sizeable patio in the back if you want to eat outdoors without being right on Melrose.
We tried the mushroom toast (delicious, though $16 is steep for the portion size!) and the breakfast burrito (good, but not mind blowing enough to justify a $16 price either). We had a good experience and by the time we were paying for our meal we had just gotten off the waitlist at Fratelli, so we’re glad we didn’t wait for it! There are some brunch places in LA where we think these types of prices are justified. Stone St is good but we felt a 20-25% haircut on the pricing would be more appropriate for portion sizes and food taste.
