Reviews for Alcove in Los Angeles, CA
Beautiful patio! Tasty desserts! My pulled pork sandwich was good but it had a little too much fat for my taste. You have to... walk up to the counter to order your food, drinks and desserts. They have a water dispenser and cups to get your own water.Deducted a star because I prefer having a server! Read more
Alcove is one of those places that you will always come back to even if you have already tried all other brunch places in LA. If... you want to have a yummy and generously sized sandwich, this is the place to go. Fancy a dessert after? Yep, they have it hereas well. Need that caffeine fix? Grab your LA staple drink HERE! We were lucky that we went here during their somehow downtimeon a late Monday afternoon and we did not wait in line for so long. I've been here so many times during different days andtimes of the week and let me tell you - they're are always ?booked and busy?. WHAT WE ORDERED: Tuna Pesto Panino - Huge andtasty AF! I'm usually not a turkey on a sandwich person, but I was able to finish everything, that says a lot. Short RibSandwich - Perfect for your before 6 dinner, amazingly good and flavorful though kinda greasy lol. Banana Pudding Cake (?) - 4/5for a first timer with this cake! Chocolate Chip Cheesecake - ALL TIME FAVORITE! Read more
Stopped here on a recommendation. Lots of outdoor seating on patio. Really cool ambiance. Go inside to order your food and then... have a seat. The food was really fresh. We just left Disney and were really hungry so we went with the safe play with our ordersAll the food was fresh and was definitely worth the detour. Really looking forward to trying it again.

My friend Laura brought me here. The food is "to-die-for"!! The desserts are masterpieces and taste divine! The staff is amazing... and super helpful for a newbie. We sat outside in a sweet garden-like atmosphere. Brick covered ivy provided protection fromthe hot sun, and the seating was comfortable and fun. At first glance, it's quirky like your friend's backyard, with stringlights, and mismatched seating, but then you delve into their menu and are delighted. The food, wow! The food is tasty andpleasing to look upon. It was a sweet respite as we relaxed into the food, the atmosphere, and our company. I will definitelyreturn the next time I am in LA. Read more
Cool lunch spot that also serves breakfast items. They also have a nice bar and a dinner menu. Seating is mostly outside with... umbrella tables. You order inside, get a number then find yourself a seat. They bring you the food when ready. Coffee was goodstuff, food was nice. Staff is super nice, their pastries are the best. I'd go again as ambiance was cool during lunch. Read more
Overall, I like this place! The food I?ve had is pretty good. I visited a few times so I?ve had breakfast items as well as much!... And, most recently I?ve tried a pastry and a cake. Breakfast has just been OK. The omelettes are good, but nothing earthshattering :) I wish the little potatoes they served with them were seasoned a little more. The salmon I had on one visit wasreally good and cooked perfectly. I also tried an apple tart and it was amazingly flavorful. I also tried a lemon blueberry cakeon my last visit. It was a $10 slice of cake and I honestly wouldn?t pay two dollars to have it again. It was weirdly dense tobe a cake and the flavor was mediocre. Otherwise, I do enjoy this restaurant for certain items and will return. You just haveto know what to order. Everything is not worth the price. Read more
I will come back here again for sure. I like the vibe and ambiance. The food that I ordered was good. I got the fried chicken... sandwich plate with salad. The salad was amazing. The fried chicken sandwich was flavored just right in my opinion and had somecrunch which was nice. I would prefer it being a chicken breast instead of a thigh however. Read more
Food and baked goods are pretty good here. Surprisingly they offer quite a few Spanish/Mexican breakfast dishes. You line up... to order at the cash register and then find yourself a table. My one knock on this place is that there?s no designated selfparking. Only valet or try to find a space on the street which isn?t that easy in this area. If you?re not lucky, you?ll haveto look on a side street. Read more
