"This new, counter-service Australian cafe in West Hollywood is hidden behind Rag & Bone on Melrose. Once you find it, you’ll stumble onto a quiet patio ideal for catching up with a friend, getting some work done, or sitting alone and processing what your boss said to you this morning. The menu covers a lot of ground, but whether you’re in the mood for a Mediterranean chop salad, sprinkle-topped fairy bread, or avocado toast topped with fava beans and cornichons, everything tastes good and will make you at least temporarily forget about the “feedback” you received on “why you’re late every morning, but still carrying an iced coffee.”" - brant cox, kat hong, arden shore
"Strings of Life Cafe is the perfect contrast to the adjacent Urth Caffe, nestled in a quiet corner of West Hollywood with a breakfast sandwich to accompany a flat white. Order the sandwich with sausage and egg brekkie sandwich with egg, cheese, and a tangy tomato chutney combined with the house-made sauce. Get the crispy potato cake add-on, and the morning will be complete." - Mona Holmes

"This new Australian cafe in West Hollywood has immediately upgraded the neighborhood’s casual lunch options. The counter-service cafe is somewhat hidden (it’s behind Rag & Bone on Melrose), but once you find it, you’ll stumble onto a sunny, quiet patio ideal for catching up with that one friend who inexplicably talks like they’re telling you a secret. The menu covers a lot of ground, but whether you’re in the mood for a Mediterranean chop salad, sprinkle-topped fairy bread, or avocado toast topped with fava beans and cornichons, everything tastes good and is ideal for snacking on while your friend confesses they gave up wearing underwear in quarantine." - brant cox
