Review Literati Cafe - Los Angeles

Chris Chien

This cafe keeps it simple with its standard cafe food, but what makes it shine is the freshness and overall quality. When it comes to Wi-Fi, though, it can be a bit frustrating. The connection has speed limits, which can be disruptive when streaming videos, making it less suitable for tasks like watching lectures. However, for light internet use, it does the job. Inside, the cafe is nicely decorated, creating a comfortable setting for studying or hanging out with friends. The ambiance is inviting and easygoing. While the outdoor seating option is appealing, there's a drawback – pesky mosquito bites. If the cafe could address this issue, it would significantly enhance the outdoor experience and make it even more enjoyable. In summary, if you're in the mood for straightforward, fresh cafe food in a cozy setting, this cafe delivers. Just keep in mind the Wi-Fi limitations and the potential for mosquito bites if you opt for outdoor seating. With a little improvement in this regard, it could become an even better spot to visit.

Literati does the basics well. It’s a nice little brunch spot on the busy Wilshire Blvd. I’ve only had their wraps, but it’s given me a good idea of their quality. I loved the chicken Caesar wrap. The breakfast burrito was solid, It was heavy on the eggs compared to other ingredients, but good enough to where I might order it again. I opted to convert the Turkey Avocado from a sandwich to a wrap, but I think that was a mistake. It definitely would have tasted better on a chiabatta bun. Overall, I’d recommend Literati Cafe. It’s hard for me to justify giving 5-stars to a brunch spot, but nonetheless I’m happy to have this as a close breakfast option.

As Aussies visiting LA, we found this cafe close to where we were staying and were hooked immediately. Great food, coffee, service and an all round cool place. Loved the wall made with actual books and mortar.

Super cool cafe with a delicious breakfast menu and a wide variety of coffee options (cappuccinos are 👌). We had the Westside eggs benedict and multigrain French toast. The literature theme with the hanging books and wall art was very well executed, great ambiance, and the cafe is spacious so if the main room near the register is too loud, there's a whole separate indoor area and patio which we would have tried if it wasn't such a hot day. Would definitely revisit if we're in the area again.

The food is good, and they have a small parking lot, which is nice. Minus one star because they will start vacuuming at 2pm while all the customers are still eating, even tho there’s one hour till they close.

It’s amazing to see that this place is over during Covid. I was so excited to try this place out on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to sit outside on their beautiful patio filled with a lot of greenery. They had everything closed off inside and were practicing social distancing. My wife got their bacon and eggs plate with was delicious! They had this jelly for the multigrain toast that was amazing! I got their Breakfast sandwich filled with goodness. If you need a breakfast/brunch spot then check this place out. Plenty of parking and they have sanitizer ready to go for you. Such a friendly staff and got our order to us in a good amount of time.

I got the Breakfast sandwhich. The bread was perfectly warm and soft and the bacon was really good. The cheesecake was my favorite. The ice mocha was a bit strong but really smooth to drink, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed my tofu burrito with a side of mixed greens. The atmosphere is nice with all the artwork and the hanging books. It was a little annoying that they require placing a new order at the front, which requires waiting in line again, for a second side of sauce, but overall I had a good experience.

Loved my Taco Breakfast, Westside Benedict, Spanish Latte, and Vanilla Latte!! Yeah, my morning appetite is abnormally large...But the space, the room, the food, and the people are so lovely that they all together can make your day, as well as the amount of food intake 🤣🤣 They do have power supply, so you can work with your computer there all day long!

Carol Thompson

SUCH good coffee! Lovely bacon and eggs. Hash brown not worth the calories tho. Terrific menu. I'm coming back

Ted Kaufmann

Really a nice place to have breakfast or brunch. A lot of space outside and inside and a lot good stuff on the menu. You have to order at the counter which is why I give only 4 stars but that’s just because of my personal preference. The food, coffee and orange juice were very good 👍 French toast looked pretty good, too.

So delicious! The potatoes taste like Thanksgiving - warm, nutmeg, & creamy. The iced coffee is splendid and ambiance is inviting.

I'm thoroughly impressed with everything about this cafe! First of all, the menu is delightfully delicious with local, organic, and vegan ingredients. The staff is extremely friendly and hospitable, and the interior design is relaxing yet inspires creativity.
