Wonderful small business to support - Edit
I have been coming here for years and it is one of the best vegan restaurants in LA. My favorite thing to order is the chilaquiles. The staff are wonderful as well. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Great Place - Edit
April 2014: First time there, we came for breakfast and they open at 8am on Sunday. We had Tofu Scramble with mushrooms and kale, and Huevos con Chorizo. Cafe de olla was great too! Everything tasted fresh and yummy. We will be back for sure.

Basic breakfast burrito - Edit
I got the the breakfast burrito and it was good enough, but a bit bland. Not somewhere I’d return again probably.

Great spot for dine-in and takeout - Edit
I’ve had many breakfasts, dinners, desserts, and even drinks from this place over the years. Always tasty and big enough for leftovers. The restaurant itself is pretty relaxed with cute decor and nice servers, and it has a full bar. I’ve never seen it packed, but they do seem to keep busy with take-out. Definitely try this place out!

Limitless Options! - Edit
All organic and all amazing dishes being served at this cozy cafe. There were plenty of options and I was stuck between several choices. Other members in my party had the same issue! We finally ordered and no one was dissapointed. I built my own bowl and it came out amazing. The marinated tempeh was the highlight. Definitely recommended for any meal of the day whenever you're craving it.

Why did I wait so long to come here?! - Edit
I should have tried this place ages ago, but so glad I finally did. Came in at opening after a pretty long road trip and got exactly what I needed. The breakfast burrito had the perfect ratio of egg, potato, cheese and meat and the house made hot sauce is bangin. Can’t wait to come back.

Best Fajitas Ever - Edit
First time here, but I hope to return soon. So much to choose from! I went with chicken fajitas, was not disappointed. The chicken and veggies were served on a sizzling plate as fajitas are. But it was more like a stew, tomato based. Thin sliced avocado on top, black beans and Spanish rice on a separate plate. Very mild, next time will add some of the house made hot sauce. Friendly service, fast kitchen crew.

Tres Leches Cake 🍰 - Edit
I always get either the Oaxacan tlayudas, chilaquiles, or sweet crepes, and usually, their tres leches cake for dessert. Best staff ever. The Grain Cafe is my go-to whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

Love - Edit
The whole experience at the Grain is ace. This location especially is painted vibrantly and the staff are adorable. Food options here are endless: sandwiches, salad, pizza, breakfast, but my favorite is their Oaxacan specialties. Pro tip: buy a bottle of their homemade hot sauce.

The Grain Cafe is very tasty! Been here a few times and I liked everything. I wouldn't get the waffles again because they were a little dry for my taste but they were still good. Love the atmosphere with their outside dining area.

Still can't believe how bad it was - Edit
I ordered the huevos rancheros and it tasted like it had Campbell's tomato soup at the sauce. It was so bland and just horrible. It was by far the worst I have ever had. I would give my meal 1/10. My husband got the huevos chorizo and he gave it a 5/10.
