Overall, we loved both the food and beverages, and will definitely be returning. It is a great brunch spot in Culver City, but it is not going to be the fastest so make sure that you plan your time accordingly. We also enjoyed the music!
Parking can be a little tough, they have a very small designated parking lot in the back and for weekend brunch the neighborhood street parking is an option, but it does fill up, so I would give yourself a few extra minutes to plan to search and then walk from your car.
For weekend brunch, there is usually a line inside to order, but it moves pretty fast and there is a lot to look at as you are waiting. They have an assortment of birthday cards, bottles of wine, chocolates, and fun mugs in different retail areas.
Iris was very helpful with what type of cheeses are on different dishes, and she gave a fantastic recommendation when I was feeling indecisive between a few different brunch items.
The brunch starts at 7am, and we went with two different selections from the EGGS section of the menu.
The BREAKFAST PLATE ($14.50) comes with farm eggs your way (we did scrambled), house potatoes, bacon or avocado, bub & grandma's sourdough toast with butter & jam. For the breakfast plate, a secret unlisted menu option - you can add cheese on top of the eggs. We were unimpressed with the bacon so maybe go with the avocado option instead. The potatoes were really good, and the sourdough bread was lightly toasted and came with both butter and jam. If you want salt and pepper, they have them on a cart by the door. It was a good size and will be a repeat order.
The GREEN EGGS & ... ($14.50) comes with scrambled farm eggs, arugula & butter lettuce tossed in a green herb dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and avocado. With black pepper, it has the perfect amount of kick. I loved it and it was a filling-healthy option. If it had ham as an add on, it would have been the full Dr. Seuss meal!
I loved the oat milk hot latte that came in a cute black cup with saucer, and I wanted another it was so enjoyable. They call out your name for the coffee, and they bring your food to the number you are given when you order at the counter.
They also have regular lemonade, and for a limited time you can get a strawberry lemonade with the syrup that they use for the strawberry matcha.
For seating, they have a small amount of indoor seating that includes a bar with purse hooks, and they have plenty of dog-friendly metal tables and chairs outside of the restaurant. We were easily able to find seating at 11am, even though it...

Read moreThe Millcross is one of my go to cafes (4+ years) for breakfast/brunch in Culver City, as it does not deviate away from consistent excellence. Here’s the break down.
Environment: The MillCross is welcoming to all, the employees are laidback and attentive. To dine-in, you must place your order at the counter, a number will be given to you. Vast amount of seating is offered now. Indoor seating can get cramped, as there are a handful of tables for 2-4people, additionally seating is offered at their counter. There are multiple seating areas offered outdoors (for 2-4 people) with shade provided via umbrellas.
Food & Drinks:
Here are some items that I can recommend. The chilaquiles are great and executed well, the mole adds a bit of sweetness which compliments the green and red salsa, while the over easy egg will calm any of the spicy elements from the sauces (which aren’t spicy, but do have great flavor). The croissant french toast is savory and sweet (not big portioned), which is complimented with their house made whipped cream, syrup, and fresh berries. Lastly, you cannot go wrong with the MC burrito. The matcha, lattes, drip coffee, and pour-overs are all great, the baristas are consistent.
Overall:
The MillCross offers great food with well sized portions (nothing too small nor too big). The stand outs (for me) are the chilaquiles and MC burrito. I have not seen any other spot in LA curate the chilaquiles as to how the Millcross does.
If you’ve read up to this point, I tend to leave a bit of crumbs to the readers. Free parking lot just behind the millcross, as well as residential parking. Coffee comes with free refills, just ask the barista. The salsa for the MC burrito is chefs kiss, honestly one of the top breakfast burritos out there, as it is soft and everything blends in well. Lastly, because this place is located in Culver City, it does tend to get pretty packed on weekdays 10am-1pm and especially during...
