🇺🇸 LA Brunch Tour | A Visual & Tasty Guide to Westside Brunch Spots!

Here’s my real talk roundup of brunch spots across the Westside — from pretty pancakes to total letdowns: 🍽️ Ysabel 🌟🌟🌟⭐ Super popular and gorgeous — but flavor-wise, just okay. Pancakes were the star: light, fluffy, not too sweet with vanilla cream 🥞 Steak was decent but a bit tough Salmon was way too salty 🧂 Avocado Toast was basic 💵 ~$70 | 📍 Book via OpenTable — it gets packed! 🍽️ Great White 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A total fave! Great looks, great taste. Hotcakes & smoothies = top tier Coffee is delicious Watch out: the breakie includes goat cheese 🐐 (skip if that’s not your thing) 💵 ~$40 🍽️ Bottega Louie 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My #1 brunch in LA! Benedict = incredible Waffles > French Toast (FT was dense + heavy on cinnamon) Portobello Fries with truffle sauce = a must! 🍄 Napoleon = flawless Skip the berry eclair — way too tart 😖 💵 ~$60 🍽️ République 🌟🌟🌟🌟 An LA classic for a reason. French Toast = surprisingly soft and amazing Basque Cheesecake = rich and satisfying Kimchi Fried Rice was a bit oily + sour Bread in Shakshuka was too hard 💵 ~$50 🍽️ Bianca 🌟🌟🌟 A cute Italian spot near Platform. Brunch ends at 11 AM — plan early! Burrata = heavenly 🧀 Desserts (tiramisu, crème brûlée) = excellent Pasta & gnocchi looked great Watch for double-priced desserts on the bill 😬 💵 ~$60 🍽️ Urth Coffee 💣💣 A major letdown. Everything was overly sweet — even the Spanish latte Avocado Toast tasted bland on stale-like bread Tiramisu = sugar bomb Not sure why it’s so hyped — my whole friend group agrees 👎 #LABrunch #BrunchReview #Ysabel #GreatWhite #BottegaLouie #Republique #Bianca #UrthCoffee
