Literati Cafe

Literati does the basics well. It’s a nice little brunch spot on the busy Wilshire Blvd. I’ve only had their wraps, but it’s given me a good idea of their quality. I loved the chicken Caesar wrap. The breakfast burrito was solid, It was heavy on the eggs compared to other ingredients, but good enough to where I might order it again. I opted to convert the Turkey Avocado from a sandwich to a wrap, but I think that was a mistake. It definitely would have tasted better on a chiabatta bun. Overall, I’d recommend Literati Cafe. It’s hard for me to justify giving 5-stars to a brunch spot, but nonetheless I’m happy to have this as a close breakfast option.

Nice little place with a big atmosphere. Very nice breakfast selection, sandwiches, and beverages. If you feel like "starting early," they have a full bar with cocktails, beer, and mimosas. Place is decorated in true L.A. / Hollywood fashion with pictures of celebrities and artists decorating the walls. Good place to peacefully eat breakfast and possibly do a little work at the same time. I recommend 👌🏻

Cute little café, coffee was pretty good, though we were a little disappointed with the Eggs Benedict we got. Good Hollandaise sauce, but the eggs were poached to the point of being hard boiled. The ham was also kinda dried out and tough to cut through. Finally the hash browns had a good texture with a mix of crunch and soft potato, but were lacking any seasoning. Usually not too much of an issue since you can use the yolk run off and Hollandaise in with the hash browns for flavor, but with the stiff yolks that wasn't remotely possible.

A solid breakfast or lunch option in a casual setting. This is not a full service restaurant instead you order at the counter, they give you a number, and deliver the food to you. Inside is pretty large, there are many different seating options and it seemed like a popular place for people to sit and do some work as well given that they have many coffee options on the menu. The staff was very polite and they do have a small free parking lot in the back however we ended up doing free street parking. For breakfast, I chose a few pastry items to start, the cinnamon churro croissant was the standout and for my breakfast I chose the Eggs Benedict, which I thought was very good. It’s a quick casual version in a casual setting, but it really hit the spot and I would suggest to anyone, especially if you are in a time crunch.

I just want to share that I had such a lovely lunch excellent hummus, vegetarian wrap that was out of this world ,full of pesto and flavor. Ariel and Amy were the baristas and they were so helpful and sweet. The whole atmosphere and vibe is so welcoming I can’t say enough… gush, gush. For a writer it is an extraordinary experience with visual tributes to famous writers around the world surrounding you.
