Reviews for The Grain Cafe in Culver City, CA
What a lovely surprise! Usually my go-to vegan spots in when I'm in L.A are Follow Your Heart, Sage, Real Food Daily, or things... from the menus of Mohawk Bend, Hugo's... Those were a bit far away, so a Google search turned up this charming, spacious cafein Culver City. All-vegan, friendly and helpful staff, and my smoothie and breakfast (The Muffin) were delicious and presumablyall-organic. The hash browns were an unexpected bonus, didn't realize they came with; those could have been crisper. Onlycriticism. Everything else was better than what I had for dinner at Sage, so... Would definitely come back! I don't want toleave! ???? Read more
I take a picture of every meal I receive here because every single one is made with "Love." I was going to post all my meals,... but this one just about sums it up! If you are Vegan - Go Here, you won't regret it. If you're NOT Vegan - Go Here, you won'tregret it. I always get a Nourishing, Tasty Smoothie & a Beautiful, Fresh Tasting Meal, but it's hard not to leave without aCoconut Blondie or slice of Vegan Cake. I'm surprised to see this place so empty, it deserves a lot more attention - That's whyI'm here, writing this! See you at The Grain Cafe! ????????????????????? Read more
Amazing staff with an amazing selection of vegan items. It's amazing they have breakfast all day and vegan crepes! Large... portions too - good value for your dollar. I had the molé burrito and it was most excellent. Try the maca tea! The waffles aregreat too. Oh, and leave room for the cakes and other desserts! Read more
The restaurant is seriously understaffed. I waited for 15 min for somebody to clean up the table that was right next to me... (somebody had left before I came in and I wanted to sit by a window). My table had food crumbles on it too. The other tableright after - was not cleaned as well. When I understood no one is coming to clean that up, I went and asked myself. Still hadto wait for a while because of the other tables served and their food brought up to them (which I understand, the food is warm,people hungry and it?s the only ONE server there). But when my food came up to the window and the waitress was right next to itand saw it, she still decided to go and take care of some other stuff while I was just sitting and staring at it, and I washungry too. After I asked for a bill and instantly put out my credit card, guess what - i still had to wait for, even thoughthere was one more table left at the restaurant. My patience died after a while and i headed out to the takeout order window soI could pay there. It took forever for something very small and simple. The tables should be cleaned after the guest leaves, notwhen you?re reminded by another guest to clean them up. It?s gross. When I go out of my home full with great food, I expect tohave an experience, even if it?s casual and for 40 minutes. And normally, I expect this experience to be good. I strongly adviseto hire one more server, at least for those times when it?s more tables, because one person doesn?t seem to be able to managewell. The service in the valley is much better, maybe because it?s a new restaurant and they still care about their reputation.I am not coming back to this place. Read more
Ho Ho Ho, vegan delicious food AND it?s open on holidays ?? we ordered the savory 2 cheese crepe (6/10) and the tropical crepe... (A MUST). Also got the dragon roll which I forgot to capture but it was a great appetizer. All in all delicious and the servicewas very good although kinda slow but I?ll definitely be back here! Read more
A great brunch spot!! We had a large group of 8 sitting outside on a beautiful day. This location, service and food was all on... point. Our server was awesome, the perfect combination of friendly, helpful and attentive. All great qualities on a server. Ithink her name was Marisa or something with an M.. so sorry I'm bad with names. But she was the best! Let's talk food... therewas so much great stuff to choose from but I went with a vegan chicken pitas sandwich... honey... it was just what I needed...perfect amounts of chicken, lettuce, smoother green veggies and topped off with avocado...and a side of roasted red potatoes mmmm mmm. My dessert... lord have mercy.. it was a strawberry almond slice of cake.. I was eyeing that off the menu before we evengot there. This was so good and pretty to look at. Very, very pleasing to the eye. Wonderful presentation Grain Cafe. We hadnachos and chips with guac for a appetizer..this got tore up while we waited for our food. A wonderful mix of flavors.. and Igot the horchata drink I'd been waiting for. It was good as far as the creamy taste but the cinnamon sprinkled on top was alittle heavy and kind of ruined it. I started choking like the tik tok cinnamon challenge lol Everyone at the table loved theirfood except my teenager, but shes resisting the vegan menus we are introducing her to. She will learn to live it soon enough aswe show her how great it is. (She had a club sandwich that her sister ate for her and she lived it) I would absolutely go backagain to try something else and I plan to the next time I'm in LA. Read more
This place is magical... and delicious. My go to is the veggie crepe and it's full of scrumptiousness. Now onto dessert, their... cakes are amazing. The best vegan cakes around Palms and Culver hands down. My favorite cake is the strawberry cake. You'llthank me later. The vibe is positive and upbeat. Overall, beautiful customer service and conscious friendly spot that I highlyrecommend! Read more
