- EaterOctober 30, 2013Waiting in line for Karen Hatfield's salted caramel sticky pecan babka is more than worth it. The tomato-onion tart, buttercup bun and rye chocolate chip cookie are all also delicious.
TulaniAugust 13, 2014Specialty lattes are insane! Bottled Stumptown. Food is delicious. Brunch blintzes are crazy rich, so share them. Portions are generous. Seating is always available and the counterfolk are lovely. 👍
Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014If you get there before they sell out, you should get the pastry called kouign amann, a.k.a. buttercup, whose perfect caramelization should be taught at every cooking school in the world. Read more
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍August 3, 2015The perfect brunch spot! Everything I had here was fresh, flavourful and delicious! No doubt there will be a line on the weekends, but it is worth the wait! An absolutely phenomenal experience
Diana OlympiaJune 3, 2021the scene of my first post-COVID #backtobrunch meal. got there 9:30-10a ish which was perfect timing before the rush. good food good pastries + dog friendly patio!
- Los Angeles TimesJune 7, 2013The turkey sandwich is heavenly: thick slices of nicely brined bird layered on dense house-made bread with thin slivers of just-ripe Camembert cheese, arugula and cherry mostarda. Read more
RTWgirl ArnetteOctober 4, 2014Have only been for brunch but everything is amazing. Counter service but snag a table first because it's super busy. Savory, sweet, all is fantastic
- Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014There are all kinds of French pastries that you don't often see around here, such as the almond-scented brioche slice called bostock, and the puckered Breton butter pastry kouign amann. Read more
- Come before they stop serving breakfast, and just order the salted caramel sticky pecan babka and the best breakfast sandwich in LA. Also grab a Stumptown cold brew to wash it down.
Jennifer KOctober 12, 2015I loved the salmon Tartine. Layers of flavors & textures. Seating can be a challenge but overall can't go wrong. Oh and you kinda have to order dessert💛
Melody HanJuly 23, 2017Best chorizo egg sandwich ever. Almond brioche French toast... wow. Great outdoor patio - dog friendly!
Julia ParkApril 12, 2015The salmon tartine is exceptionally fabulous (super fresh); but everything else is amazing as well. My favorite brunch place in LA for sure!
@JaumePrimeroFebruary 2, 2013The brown butter date bundt cakes are amazing! Love the turkey chili with kale, and if you are looking for a sinful treat try the banana dulce de leche cake!- Bobby SolomonJuly 17, 2015Recommend the scrambled egg and chorizo sandwich or the quiche with an iced latte. Get there early or late as the line can get long.
- You can't go wrong with the turkey sandwich with Camembert, ginger limeade, and any of the pastries. Chocolate chip rye cookie is fabulous.
- Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014The Sycamore Kitchen is the new breakfast-lunch project of Quinn and Karen Hatfield — it is the sandwich-shop offshoot of a restaurant with a Michelin star. Read more
AT WawaSeptember 6, 2016I loved the babka, the coffee muffin was ok & the butter dough thing was amazing
Delicious and trendy, but I wish they would put out a sign telling customers not to snatch tables until after they have ordered! Little seating, but it works with no hoarders.
Abdulaziz HDSeptember 22, 2014This place is the heaven of pastries. Everything is great, don't miss the butter cup cake & the salted caramel papka- The Iced Cubano (espresso, milk, cinnamon) is an amazing pick-me-up in the afternoon - or an indulgent way to start the morning!
Spencer LopesJanuary 10, 2018Great coffee and food!! I️ recommend the scrambled egg and chorizo sandwich!
LOVE: market salad, quiches, salted caramel bobka roll, tuna Niçoise salad, short rib sandwich and soy latte :))- Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014The salads are big ones with perfect greens and tiny sparks of things like hazelnuts, dates and blue cheese. Read more
Nil K.March 1, 2016Everything is sooo tasty. Perfect place to start the day or have a coffee break at.
Glenn StreetNovember 5, 2017Not cheap but cool and contemporary coffee shop feel. Nice outdoor terrace and good healthy breakfast options.
Cookies are awesome. Love the kids steamers and the Cubans is rad. Good breakfast.
Katy IonisApril 15, 2015salads are huge, delicious, filling and reasonably priced. everything else looked amazing too.

Erik UriarteAugust 10, 2015The salads are easily big enough to share between 2 people for a light lunch.
BradJune 25, 2013Vanilla cafecito and croque Madame is where it's at! One of the best breakfasts of my lifetime!
Will DannerDecember 19, 2014So so good. Everything is great but i especially like the cured salmon toast- The new neighborhood concept from culinary couple Karen and Quinn Hatfield. It's OK--go crazy on the pastry. Karen doesn't disappoint!
- Jenna Odett LaskinDecember 7, 2012Chinois salad and a ginger lemonade, if you pass up the baked goods
- The Sycamore Kitchen is now open for full, hot breakfast—in case delicious pastries and coffee weren’t enough.
J AshrafOctober 13, 2013The best blueberry oat bar in LA. Come to think of it, the best blueberry oat bar ever.- There are so many pastries to choose from, but don't overlook the humble Toasted Pecan Shortbread. Trust us.
OmarApril 3, 2016The Chicken Sandwich was good but next time I will order it without mayo and toasted.

"Chicken Milanese. It is a generous portion of chicken breast, deliciously fried and served with tasty greens. The key is to squeeze the roasted lemons on it. It’s a must try."
