What a wonderful gem in DTLA! It was our last day of a LONG trip in the city, and we were tired and looking for something delicious to restore us. I noticed a small cafe on the maps called Fleur Café, just a few blocks from where we were, and we are SO GLAD we chose this as our final breakfast spot!

The chicken sausages were well matched with baked potatoes, and soft scrambled eggs topped with green sauce. My salad became the mortar that bound one taste to another. This breakfast was an unexpected surprise. The service is expeditious and attentive. According to the waitress, Fleur Cafe is busy on weekends because of the influx of hotel guests that are staying in DTLA. This has become my favorite mom...
