It is highly likely that I am not cool enough to be here. The vibe is ultra hip, and the food is too cool for school, Southern California cuisine in all the best ways possible.
Plenty of choices, simple things like a Bodega Sando for breakfast. Fluffy scrambled eggs covered in ooey-gooey cheese spill out of a fluffy potato bun.
The sando itself is nice, but it’s best when accompanied by the Ubiquitous Avo Toast, which might be the prettiest toast in town. The soft stuff is smashed over a slice of crispy-crust, seedy toast. Furikake and fresh herbs add their aroma, and pickled onions add some acid. It leaves a morning-dew-on-grass impression, lovely just by itself. Combine it with a spoonful of scrambled eggs from the sando for a combination that is divine.
More lunch-like options include the Pibil Bowl, shreds of tender chicken spiced up with achiote, accompanied by runny-yolk fried eggs that ooze over the crunchy tostada and fill in the gaps between the veggies and the cheese.
Drinks are supposed to be good here, and the Matcha Latte gets my love. Like everything else I had here, the quality is clear and simple, with fresh ingredients and a flawless execution.
A great place to sit and socialize, best for a basic brunch of much-better-than-basic food.
