Where would I be without Mustard Seed? I first visited about five years ago with my partner and gradually it became our neighborhood spot for a billion reasons. The charming owner Anna and her crew are a gem of the community. But let’s not sleep on the menu’s mainstays. They’ve got a lot of food, so I’ve made things a little easier for you by sharing some of my favorites here: - lemon ricotta pancakes — THE breakfast choice - tuna melt ~ it’s got an unexpected kick - mediodia ~ w/ extra peppers - new times club ~ popular - b.l.a.t. - the chicken tortilla soup!!! Fries are always hot, but I’m also partial to the potato salad and roasted potatoes. A great catch-up spot with friends, too. I hope it never goes away.
One of my favorite neighborhood cafes in all of Los Angeles! The service here is amazing and I always have a wonderful time! The vanilla chai latte is delicious! ...and the French toast is amazing!!

Service: A+ ✅ Food: D– 😬 I’ve been ordering huevos rancheros for as long as I can remember, and I’ve never seen it underprepared like this. Instead of the typical golden, cooked corn tortillas, this came with uncooked white corn tortillas with everything separated—beans, rice w/corn, eggs, and some sauce—all sitting apart with no meat. Normally this is my go-to breakfast, but this just didn’t hit the mark. I was starving, so I ate it (I don’t waste food), but $22 for this felt rough.
Service was amazing ! My server Natalie is amazing and Anna is the best, I feel right at home. I had the best dirty chai oat milk latte and the crispiest fried chicken sandwich, I will be back very soon to try everything. 10/10!!!!

The food selection is creative and the variety is impressive for the size of the locations. I came here for lunch yesterday. It’s not been my first time but I had a particularly wonderful meal that moved me to make a review. I had the grilled eggplant and goat cheese sandwich, it’s something I would’ve never have thought up myself. Seems like a diner but with a much more chef-driven menu and more breezy/cozy vibe. I also must say that every time I’ve gotten fish there it has been very decent especially for the price. (This is an understatement but it’s a better experience to set your expectations low for you to be pleasantly surprised.) Very good.
The food was absolutely delicious, the service was so nice - it felt like eating at your Aunt & Uncle’s house. I’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for really good iced coffee and hearty breakfast food.
Order a iced vanilla chai, and a Matcha latte N both were very good and large portions. In fact, this place has pretty great portions, I was walking by to another restaurant and I saw people sitting outside and their food made me change locations and go here instead. Was immediately sat, receive quick and friendly service and everything we order was great. We got a croissant sandwich with turkey bacon and ricotta pancakes and eggs. Would be a regular here.
