Reviews for Paper or Plastik Cafe in Los Angeles, CA
I’m sorry to say what a disappointment this restaurant has become. Always pricey for what it offered - this last visit showed... an all time low. The impossible burger that I ordered plain and on different bread arrived on 1 slice of bread - cut in half andthe burger was half the size as it used to be - still full price. They could have used the 2nd slice of bread to complete thesandwich to offer with the soup I ordered which arrived 20 minutes after ordering - bread needed to be ordered separately at anadditional price. … what? With soup? All the food came at once and the pastry was forgotten. I had to walk inside to ask. Itwas quoted w/o nuts (which I am allergic) - it contained nuts. Which I discovered (of course) after eating a few bites.. Butthe biggest gripe is the lack of good service when paying upfront- when “no tip “ is selected. The attitude really changes.$49.00 for lunch and not even a really filling lunch is pretty steep. Should I have ordered less to get better service? Lowmarks all around….. Read more
Cafes have a culture, and this one is not terribly inviting. You can see it immediately in the mostly miserable staff (of... course, there's an exception or two), but then it all makes sense when you watch their senior management. They too just don'tseem to like people. I get a couple of drinks each time I go there in an attempt to offset the contempt for laptops, I tip, andI keep my stay relatively short and confined to their laptop only areas. But this has not altered the apparent disdain for myexistence. Then I noticed . . . it wasn't just me; they treated everyone this way. So, I don't come much. They don't need my$12. Aside from this, great space and in a location that can use this type of place. Often not full, at least during the week,because, well, read the above. Why do people open such a place to be so miserable about it? Read more
I ordered the French toast and was disappointed ???? the presentation was excellent, but the French toast tasted like regular... toast. The orange juice was fresh and delicious ???? my friend enjoyed his meal of eggs, bacon and biscuits as well as his icedcoffee drink. The music was good and the atmosphere was friendly. The staff were friendly. I'd try this place again. Read more
The pastry’s are wonderfully fresh. I recommend the cinnamon roll or the Blueberry Morning Roll. Both were very moist. Coffee... was good, I think most people wouldn’t have any issues with service or food here! Parking is decent outside, around 8 spots onthe road. Seating is plentiful, but I imagine it gets packed. Outdoor seating available (4 tables in shade). Read more
Lots of friends recommended this place. Each time I’ve gone, the staff has seemed pretty unhappy with their work environment... (at least, that’s the way I interpret their un-friendliness) - and it’s not in that Brooklyn get in, get out kind of way.Coffee is good. I got breakfast here recently and was pretty shocked at how plain and unflavorful the plate was for about $16.The biscuits were off - like when you use baking soda instead of baking powder - and we kindly asked if we could swap thebiscuit for another pastry item… they just sent us out another round of off biscuits, and with a lot of disdain. It’s such acute spot and I understand having a bad day and not wanting to deal with customers, but I’ve gone in several times and alwayshad the same experience. Go to Bloom, Power plant, or green table - friendliest environment ever and delicious açaí bowls. Read more
Love this place! Great fresh food and good tea. Love all the outdoor seating. Staff is friendly. Only downside is there are... *always* people smoking at the bench in the outside area which blows right over the whole patio. Nonetheless a local fave forsure. Read more
Great food, fun vibe. I may give it five stars after I try a different coffee drink. The iced lattes had way too little... espresso for their size. Read more
Excellent coffee drinks, and breakfast choices to satisfy anyone, including folks with dietary restrictions. We’re from the... Midwest, and it’s our go-to place in LA. The staff are welcoming and efficient, and the decor is funky—almost museum-like.Oh, and the food is really, really good! Read more
