Trendy, plant-forward hotspot with creative dishes and strong coffee on Abbot Kinney; great vibes and kid options, but service can be uneven and prices add up with fees.
Restaurant Summary
The scene is bright, leafy, and Pinterest-worthy, with sunlit tables and a steady hum of brunch energy spilling onto Abbot Kinney. Reviewers describe servers who can be warm and attentive on good days, though some visits report slow or indifferent service. One diner summed up the vibe as “beautiful, beachy, and worth lingering,” while another wished the team handled closing time with more grace. The cooking is vegetable-forward and playful rather than preachy: mushroom “calamari,” beet “pepperoni” pizza, and a lemon-lavender waffle show off a creative, globe-trotting pantry. Expect well-executed staples like crisp pizzas and cozy pastas alongside veganized brunch favorites. It suits diners who enjoy modern plant cuisine and do not mind a location premium for the setting and style. Families are welcome here. There is a dedicated kids menu with mini cheese pizza, grilled cheese, pasta with red sauce or butter-parmesan, and a kids burrito. Even picky eaters can land on something familiar, while adults explore more adventurous plates. Patio seating makes stroller life easier and keeps the volume comfortable for little ones.
