Great treats

Got a pumpkin pie puff pastry, a savory sausage pie and the blueberry cinnamon bun. So good!!! The location was super cute as well. The frosting on the cinnamon bun was amazing.
Good place to stop if you’re heading up the 5 freeway and need a treat😄

HIDDEN GEM

Great little spot for brunch! Everything was great except for the cake. The frosting was very chalky and too sweet. The bagels are amazing. The only thing that a bit off was the woman behind the counter talking to customers about her past traumas when nobody asked. Was very awkward. It is also a little hard to find as there is no signage. It's kind of tucked away in a semi residential neighborhood.

Lovely pastries and a cozy spot

Every pastry I've had at Just what I kneaded has been excellent--so glad they have such high quality (and large-portioned) vegan pastries! I also really like this space. Frogtown is a quiet neighborhood and Just what I kneaded's indoor and outdoor seating is homey and relaxed.

Highly recommend!

Hidden gem that I would highly recommend if you’re ever in the Silver Lake area. They have recently pivoted to non-vegan options, but they have such good options and we love that they have continued to offer vegan options.

My Happy Place

This cafe has an all vegan menu, with vegetarian options- the inverse of what you normally get. They have a beautiful patio where you are visited by lil birdy friends asking politely for crumbs. The menu evolves and there are different drool-worthy pastries daily.

Pros: Great staff , Ambience is perfect , River path and a great pocket park one block away

Cons: Parking can be challenging

They used to be all plant based but they went backwards by adding animals/secretions to their menu

Not a plant based company anymore

Owner including dairy and eggs in their menu won’t be supporting anymore!

Cons: Pretended to be vegan

Not vegan

They sell eggs and cheese. No mercy for chicken or little calf. As vegans we need to Support real vegan compassionate businesses in the area!

Pros: Nothing

Great breakfast!

The donuts are to die for. The breakfast sandwich was my favorite. The Crunchwrap could use some more seasoning but tastes good with the salsa.

The macha was great but the mango lemonade was awesome! So tasty.

Pros: Service , Mango Lemonaid

Cons: Expensive

Breakfast sandwiches!

I LOOOVE a breakfast sandwich! These were fun and delicious. I just wish they’d use a homemade “meat base” instead of impossible sausage. However my biggest issue is their use of plastics. Lot of plastics for cold drinks, water and takeaway. Switch to paper please😄

Great breakfast

We stopped here after flying in. Great breakfast options- my party got a breakfast sandwich. Breakfast burrito, cinnamon roll, and gf blueberry muffin, which was more savory than sweet (yum!).

Pros: Breakfast options, Pastry selection

Cons: Parking, A bit pricy

Knead Cake?

I stumbled upon this place during a run in LA a few weeks ago and my friend and I decided to try a few of their items! I had the egg and cheese biscuit which was very dense and savoury. I also indulged in a slice of their lemon poppyseed cake and also had a bite of their poptart. I had better cake but their poptart was good. Would go back again!

Everything is fire

Expensive but so worth it to treat yourself. The cinnamon roll is beyond words. The bagel sandwiches and tomato basil galettes are another favorite. I would eat here every day if I could! The coffee is also great and atmosphere is super cute.

Pros: Tasty

Busy spot with delish brekfast sandwich

I had been dying to try this spot after watching their social media from afar. It was hard to find anywhere to park on a Saturday morning and I was lucky to arrive at a time with a slight lull in the lineup. There were lots of people waiting for food and it was about a 15 minute wait, hastened by a lovely server. My breakfast biscuit sandwich was great. I also ate a chocolate chip muffin which was crunchy and tasty on top though a little too smushy and doughy at the bottom.

The menu in person did not line up with the one I has seen online and when I asked for clarification of what was on the sandwich, the person at the counter seemed annoyed and a bit unfriendly. Also the opening days and hours of the cafe were changing constantly during the week I was visiting, which meant getting there required a lot of last minute rearranging on my part. I asked a few questions on instagram to clarify these changes and only received an answer to one out of three questions. Overall I enjoyed the food but I didn't feel as welcomed as I expected and can't be an enthusiastic as with other places I visited.

Pros: Delicious food, beautiful patio

Cons: Inconsistent opening times, Do not respond to messages or answer the phone, Curt service

Who doesn’t love a good pun?

This place is CUTE. I got the Crunchwrap and have been dreaming about it since! It was so delicious. The biscuits and gravy were good too. The outdoor seating is small but cute. I hear it gets very crowded on weekends.

Pros: All vegan, Has restroom, Outdoor seating

Cons: No parking, Can get crowded

Best Frogtown Restaurant

I love going to Just What I Kneaded. Their LA Breakfast Burrito is the best! I also love their desserts and their drinks. I haven't tried much in terms of the food, but my one complaint is that the chilaquiles need to be saucier and that they need to be heartier.

Kneadful Things

I ordered a Brown Sugar Walnut Donut and The Joe Cool. The doughnut was delicious. The Joe Cool includes Impossible fennel sausage, tofu egg scramble, smoked Gouda, and house-made jalapeño aioli on an everything bagel. It was messy, but tasty.

Pros: all vegan, outdoor seating

Cons: difficult to find parking

Cute spot and tasty eats

Walked over to this all vegan breakfast spot and luckily it got there before a line formed! I got an iced chai, a Mexican chocolate donut, and a foxy lox bagel with a fried egg added. Everything was so delicious! I loved the patio that was covered in plant life and the wide variety of pastries.

Pros: Pretty Patio, Lots of pastries

Very Nice

I had the Snoopy Waffle and the new Lavender Latte. The waffle which I enjoyed, was topped with blueberries and sliced nectarines (a first for me). I detected only a hint of lavender, which may be the point.

Pros: The service, The food, The patio

Cons: Atrocious Parking , Very small dining space

Best Bakery

Just what I kneaded is hands down my absolute favorite vegan bakery. They pride themselves in quality and fresh baked goods. It’s a small little pink bakery by the LA river path.
They source the majority of their ingredients from farmers markets. Their desserts always change and some of their bests and classics are the pop tarts and cookies.
Their coffee is also really good and they make their syrups in house.
They also serve food like crunch wraps, chilaquiles, breakfast sandwiches, carrot lox, and many more. They have special orders available for birthday cakes and holidays.

Pros: Farmers market fresh, Quality

Cons: Parking, Long wait times
