Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Wilshire and side streets - metered until 8pm, free after. Small lot behind building fits 6 cars.
Dress code: Ultra casual - gym clothes and pajamas common. This is a grab-and-go breakfast spot.
Noise level: Moderate - small space gets lively during rush but fine for conversation
Weekend wait: N/A - closes at 3pm daily
Weekday lunch: 10-15 min line typical 11:30am-1pm, faster before/after
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes - can order any sandwich without meat, still get signature eggs and brioche
Vegan options: No - eggs and dairy are core to every item, no plant-based substitutes
Gluten-free options: No - house-made brioche buns are essential, no GF bread available
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a casual 2nd or 3rd date - it's counter service in a small space, not intimate. Great for low-pressure breakfast dates where you can walk after.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations taken - it's order-at-counter only with limited indoor seating (8 seats). Most people take it to-go or eat outside.
Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly - simple menu kids love (eggs, tots, burritos), quick service, casual vibe. No high chairs due to small space but welcoming to families.
Best For
Better for: Best egg sandwich quality under $12 in LA - Korean technique creates unmatched texture. Beats Eggslut for value and creaminess. Perfect for quick weekday breakfast or casual weekend brunch without the wait.
Skip if: You want a sit-down brunch experience with mimosas and ambiance - this is counter-service only. Skip if you need GF/vegan options, want lunch/dinner, or expect full restaurant service.
