I came here for brunch earlier this month with my friend FS. I was lucky enough to find a metered parking spot nearby; this place is street parking only and there are a lot of popular businesses and homes so you might have to walk a block or two. Located on the southeast corner of Hillhurst and Clarissa, this is a cute cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a number to bring back to whatever table you want to sit at, and then later someone will bring your food and drinks to you.
i got their Grilled Vegetable Salad: Assorted veggies, romaine lettuce, avocado, and sundried tomatoes, served with balsamic vinaigrette. The assorted veggies were zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, corn, and carrots and the salad was filling and delicious!
The staff here are super nice. There was a lady who was standing on the corner by the front door who greeted me when I walked up and directed me to order at the counter (I didn't know what to do since it was my first time here). And the staff inside were also really nice and helpful as I figured out what I wanted to order. They also came by a couple times during the meal to make sure everything was okay and that my friend and I didn't need anything, which I thought was really nice of them. Definitely check them out if you're...
Read moreIf you want fresh food and a Griffith park view, look no further. Mustard Seed is a casual sidewalk cafe with no waits and a plethora of food selection. As an elite reviewer, they offer phenomenal breakfast and lunch. It’s located at the corner of Hillhurst and Clarissa avenues. Indoor and outdoor atmosphere were inviting and relaxing. Interior design was unpretentious with few wall frames and abstract blue wallpaper. Moreover, it’s very spacious and tables were evenly separated per health guidelines. We came here on a Friday morning to grab breakfast and ordered their seasonal veggie omelet/pan scrambles which came with fresh fruit and toasted wheat bread; and a fresh squeezed orange juice. I love it. Veggie omelette was very soft, fresh and perfectly scrambled. Similarly, the squeezed orange juice was very fresh that my palate couldn’t get enough. Service was moderately fast. Staff was obsequious and professional. He was wearing mask. Serving was huge. Street parking only. Overall, we had a satisfying breakfast and good experience. We highly...
Read moreI would give this place 0 stars if I could. We were the only ones seated inside the restaurant before a rush of people came in a half hour later. Our orders were taken right away by the waitress but we sat and waited for over an hour for the food that never came. We asked the waiter what was going on and he said he would check on it then preceded to serve and hand out plates to all the other traveled even though we were there first. He came back another 10 minutes later just to tell us that our order wasn't even put in yet. An hour and ten minutes of waiting for an order that was never put in and during that time we were surrounded by flies and not one waiter came to ask us how we were doing or if we wanted a refill. No apologies or anything for that time wasted so we walked out. Stay away from this place, there's a lot of other cuter restaurants on this street who will give you...
