    Wow this place blew me out of the water. Great for groups or a date. They also have dim sum carts that float around with all kinds of goodies including liquid nitrogen freezed alcohol otter pops!

    Amazing food. Uniquely killer drinks. And donuts. Incredibly rich amazing donuts. Potato perogies are special. Dig the Pan-Am girls mixing those vodka otter pops. Big fan.

    The Church Key brings a really cool vibe—and amazing cocktails—to Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. The booze is done tableside, with vintage PanAm drinks carts peddling Kool Pops or Appletinis. Read more

    Food is very good & creative, but the overall experience (modern dim sum, fantastic bar & gorgeous space overall) makes it one of my favorites. MUST haves: truffle mac & cheese, the quail & the donuts

    The new happening spot on Sunset in WeHo. Chef Fretz has created a down to earth, "really real" environment to enjoy the freshest of the fresh ingredients both in the food and drinks. Bravo

    The booze is also done tableside, with vintage PanAm drinks carts pedaling Kool Pops, a frozen Appletini or Sex on the Beach martini made cooler by the added flare of billowing liquid nitrogen. Read more

    At The Church Key, you are handed a cheap metal church key and invited to open and pour the cocktails yourself — you may have forgotten how good it feels to pierce a steel can. Read more

    Pork belly, skirt steak, rigatoni, brioche doughnuts were all delicious. Pleasantly surprised, and I like being surprised pleasantly. Their take on Dimsum was pretty neat as well.

    Fun concept, and delicious. Interesting options (and a ton of them!), packed with flavor. Brioche donuts are a serious MUST. Forget the cronut.

    everything is fun and awesome, get grilled asparagus with shaved truffle (served with over easy egg and hollandaise) and English Pea Hummus

    Been here 5+ times
    Best drink: Shot in the dark. All food is good but most save room for dessert, especially date cake. Popcorn is free and really addictive.

    A great time. Save room for the circulating"dim sum" carts. Tuna tartare, off the main menu, was stellar. Great cocktails.

    Liked the fried chicken, pork belly, roasted cauliflower, and pierogi, in that order. The melon salad is mediocre. But really, you've come here for the donuts, and they're pretty, pretty, pretty good.

    The Church Key takes a dim sum style approach to their service, carting food around on little trolleys for guests to point at and pick up at their whim. Read more

    I'm not much of a donut person like my husband but I have to say these are the best dessert donuts ever! It's a must have & you won't regret it.

    Good brunch food. Service was friendly though we were a larger party so was a bit disorganized, but they made it up to us. Overall good experience.

    Pig’s Ear “Cheetos” - These piggy chips are paired with a guacamole-esque avocado “fluff” for the fancy eater.

    Huge charcuterie and cute dim sum style carts. Very loud atmosphere so it's hard to hear each other talk.

    For some reason the chef decided to deep fry a lot of dishes better left alone. Not impressed with the food, the inattentive rushed service, or lack of customer care on follow up to a complaint.
