Great place on Venice Boardwalk. Happy Hour 8am-9am. Ideal for breakfast – vegan and carnivores. Grab a seat and listen to the live morning radio show!
Rarely do we walk away leaving most of our food, but this tasteless plate of plastic and chemicals barely counted as food, so we felt ok doing so. Good for a drink bit eat somewhere else.
I walked to Santa Monica & back one day, and was craving Ceviche. I had seen it advertised as a special so I stopped by. It was cold and I sat outside, which was my fault. However, there was a sign that said to grab a menu and seat yourself. It took several minutes for someone to come take any order. I guess it must have been busier inside. I ordered the Ceviche and a water. The food came out more quickly but I had to ask for water again. The ceviche itself was rather bland. I expected better somewhere on the coast. Another server refilled my water. And after I finished eating, I sat outside for quite a while waiting for the check. Even after I gave him my card, I saw him bring food out to others and I was still waiting. I was trying to save my cash for the cash only places. But in the future, if I came back I would leave cash so I could go once I’m done eating.
Good but cold outside in morning. You will sit in the cold shade if you eat outside in the morning. My fault as inside was packed.Food good, staff good, prices reasonable.Just try and get a table inside if cold outside!
Skip the Street Food & Come Here. So I was visiting LA for the first time and of course hitting all the touristy locations. Venice beach was on the to-do list but I had no desire to eat from the vendors along the boardwalk. My friend and I stumbled upon this cafe and as it was the first sit down place we found, we gave it a chance. The service was a little slow, but when you have one waiter for 10 tables that is to be expected. What I didn’t expect was how wonderful the food was. I had the oaxacan tacos which were three mini corn rounds topped with black bean paste, seasoned chicken, and an avocado slice. The salsa was very good too. My only complaint is that the chips were rather stale. Be forewarned, it can get very cold on the deck when it’s windy and overcast.
Highly Recommend. This cafe has great food and atmosphere. They offer many healthy, vegetarian, and organic options. I had the fish tacos which came with salmon, ahi tuna, and tilapia, a strange but delectable combination. I would recommend sitting outside to watch the variety of people walking down the Venice Beach boardwalk.
Very unique. This restaurant is fresh and delightful. After walking along the beach this is one of my favourite places to go. They have some very unique ideas and I am a particularly big fan of the avocado chicken melt sandwich. The flavours are just wonderful. My uncle who lives in LA says that Figtree’s has the best omelette’s he’s ever eaten. Service isn’t bad considering with all the tourists they’re constantly busy but don’t expect everything to be very prompt; they are very busy!
