Breakfast Spot · Fashion District · 48 tips and reviews
Brandon Hoang: Don’t be intimidated by its location. Staff is friendly. Very family friendly. Hash is excellent
Doug de Wet: Salad for breakfast? Yes! Their traditional breakfast fare is excellent, but we always order at least one salad. Our fave is the crunchy, colorful Brassica Salad. Beets + Avocado Salad is also great.
Connie Chiu: So cute and delicious! Everything looks amazing. Especially the fried chicken and waffles. It's counter service, but seats open surprisingly fast.
Marshall St. Clair: Eureka lemon with maroon berries in a crispy waffle cone!
Rainbeau: (Multiple locations) This Southern California native is a gem. It’s simply delicious “homemade” ice cream.
Kitt Hod: Order a custom shake from any of their ice creams, not just the ones posted on their menu, and order the ½ pounder, as the full is HUGE.

Taco Restaurant · 106 tips and reviews
Vincent Ong: Guisados in DTLA, can find elsewhere too. Try out The Sampler (6 mini tacos) for different meats and their housemade tortillas.
Bubsy: Get the sampler! They tell me they are BYOB until they get their alcohol permit.🍻
Edgar Varela: Get the Sampler, it's the best way to figure out what your favorite taco is. Experiment and discover new flavors.

French Restaurant · Financial District · 41 tips and reviews
Hanh N: Kouign amann is delicious, with a buttery sugar filling. Macarons are hit or miss, salted caramel has hard, crunchy shells but the other flavors have the right texture. Zucchini soup is very good!
Mario A: The food is good yet very expensive. A salad, which is not that large, and a drink will just be under 20 dollars.
Mouni Reddy: Great pastry selection and some authentic French breakfast bites.

Fried Chicken Joint · South Park · 43 tips and reviews
Maria Davila: The breakfast sandwich, birdie bites, cinnamon toast crunch donut, maple bacon donut is what we ordered and was delicious.
Adrian Phillips: They give out donut samples, lots of them. The Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich is a great start to the day if you feel like skipping the egg sandwiches. It's not too spicy and the chicken is perfect.
Lesli Mack: Chicken breakfast sandwich

Southern Food Restaurant · Downtown Los Angeles · 3 tips and reviews
Kirill Ryadchenko: That's the best chicken wings place in DTLA. Also it gray for late night bite. But don't walk there take an uber or drive.
Didier Dorga: Wings and fries!
Adrian Phillips: Dinner plate with two sides comes with tasty fried wings smothered in hot sauce. Get extra wings & cornbread if you're really hungry. The greens are really tasty too, sweet & spicy.
Nicholas Poon: Yet another gem by Blue Bottle. The location has one of the most unique atmosphere among the coffee chain. A great place to relax for hours along with a pour-over!
David VanMiddlesworth: The coffee is really better here than at most other places, and the atmosphere is much less commercial than most other coffee places. I can relax here.
Nour: I try to visit every location of blue bottle in the LA area. This is by far the most fascinating.
