The combined flavors in the sorrel rice bowl suggest how sunshine on a lemon tree might taste, and the ricotta toast painted with three jams resembles a flag to which I’d gladly pledge allegiance. Read more

Veronica Chavira

I recommend the Horchoffee, vegan horchata with double espresso . Unique items so get adventurous! Popular item to try is the Famed Ricotta Toast . There is a long line and street parking only.

Mohammed

Long line but moves pretty fast. Around 30 mins wait. Green Eggs and Jam is a must try. French toast (Brioche stuffed with jam and baked) was so good.

Serious Eats

Every single menu item is delicious. If you can't decide, anything topped with jam will be a winner.

Hadeel Omer

Crispy rice salad is a must! That’s mainly the reason I go to Sqirl every weekend. The rainbow famed ricotta toast is to die for. Also, try the honeycomb cookie and the malva pudding cake . Just YUM!

Gustav Von Sydow

If your idea of a great lunch is to fight for parking , stand in line and watch delicious dishes come by, then eat said food 🥘 only to discover it’s even tastier than it looks, well , this is for you.

Eater

Opens every morning at 6:30 a.m. with just coffee and pastries , then ventures on to classics like ricotta toast and sorrel pesto rice at 8 a.m. Don't miss that crispy rice salad , either. Read more

Eater

Yes, you’re going to have to wait in line , but is there a more LA experience than digging into SQIRL’s ricotta toast with housemade seasonal jam (and Instagramming it after)?

Melon L

Don't be intimidated by the line . It moves pretty fast. Don't miss the ricotta toast (w/generous ricotta ) though it may come a little burnt. Order couple small items and share with a friend!

). Standbys include Kokuho Rose brown rice bowls with sorrel pesto , preserved Meyer lemon , lacto-fermented hot sauce , radish , sheep’s milk feta and poached egg . Read more

Bitches Who Brunch

The Bitches say: A. Brave the line at this funky LA eatery and get ready to carboload on some of the best toast on the Left Coast. Take the LAisms with a grain of salt + be prepared to see and be seen Read more

Eater

Tucked away on a sleepy stretch of Virgil, this seasonal kitchen produces surprising cuisine that balances flavor with superb ingredients. Don't miss the desserts either. Read more

CJ Bruce

Delicious cold brew and hot coffee . You can skip the line and go to the front if you want your drink to go. For food I'm all about the pesto bowl as a salad (kale instead of rice ) with an extra egg .

Meredith Blechman

Must order: Brioche/baguette with jam . If you leave here without getting this, your life will be incomplete. Buy some jam to go, so when you start dreaming about it, you can get your fix.

Betty Kuo Brinton

The most delicious bread and jam combo in the city . All fresh, all the time. Come before 9:30am and the wait is just fine. Even if you don’t have rice a rice bowl , the veggie ones are just as divine.

Sahar A

Don't miss the turmeric soda , green eggs & jam tartine , or seared polenta . The chocolate & (hazel)nut butter (brioche ) toast is heavy, I would have preferred it w/ jam (they're made in-house). Enjoy!

Ameen Aqeel

The sorrel rice bowl was delicious (you might consider an extra egg ), the buckwheat pancake was also unique, on the way out grab one of the coconut , date & seeds balls for a tasty treat with a coffee .

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍

A hip organic small hole-in-the-wall with various salads , sautés, sandwiches & lattes . Sqirl specializes in decadent toast offerings amongst other healthy dishes . Makes an ideal stop for brunch

Epicurious

Four bucks nets you a thick slice of brioche topped with rich ricotta cheese & jam with options like raspberry-vanilla & blueberry-rhubarb. And it is actually worth those four dollars. Probably more. Read more

Jennifer Haack

The french toast and coffee are amazing. The also have a bunch of bowls to choose from. The lemon risotto is not my thing, but very unique.

Caitlin Taylor

French toast !!! Also the sorrel pesto rice bowl . The French toast is huge and the jam that comes with it is (in my opinion) a great alternative to syrup .

Gregol Gratis

Espresso is pricey compared to the other baristas fanatic places, but well prepared (served in a glass the Spanish way). Curred salmon on toast is beautiful and tasty. The place is cute and trendy !

LA Weekly

There’s plenty of toast , which is available with seasonal jam , nut butter or a killer combo of kale , tomatillo puree, hot sauce and fried egg . Read more

Emily Wilson

Order the sorrel pesto rice bowl with half kale , half rice and add avocado . Also get an iced matcha to go with it.

Antonis Stathis

Very tasty sorrel rice bowl (don't forget the hot sauce ). Brioche ricotta toast....ok. Super friendly and cool staff !

Amanda Aizuss

Guittard Chocolate and Hazelnut Toast is *intense* and good to split. Try the brown rice porridge or anything that has a fried egg !

Kathryn Anderson

Dynamic flavors reign supreme. Don’t miss the brioche toast with seasonal jam or the bacon ! I started to dig in before taking a picture.

Jennifer

Getting here before 9am won't guarantee a short line , but you'll need all that extra time to decide what to eat. Everything on the menu is delicious.

Amelia Mani

Turmeric tonic and pretty much anything on the menu. You can't really go wrong. Get there SUPER early otherwise the wait is at least 45 min.

Global Highlander

Great Famous Damus Breakfast Sandwich (on ciabatta with soft scramble, surryano ham , arugula ), and excellent Cold Brew Coffee .

Condé Nast Traveler

“I’m happy to wait in line to get my hands on my favorite Sqirl triumvirate: sorrel pesto rice bowl , brioche toast with ricotta and Blenheim apricot jam , with a turmeric tonic .” - Fiorella Valdesolo Read more

Kartik Sathappan

We had the McKofta sandwich and the brioche toast with ricotta . The sandwich and toast were top notch! The ricotta was good but not great.

Tasting Table

Sqirl Kitchen is the perfect spot to stop for authentic , homemade food . By far, the best thing to try if you're a first timer is the ricotta brioche toast . Read more

ブルーノ

Tiny place, yet super popular. Good coffee and some great options to choose from the menu. Not sure if this place deserves all the hype but still, it's pretty good. Getting a seat it's kinda tricky.

Heather Velez

They can do no wrong here. Ricotta toast + crispy rice salad + sorrel pesto rice bowl are the stuff dreams are made of.

Pooja Shah Talera

The AVO toast of course. The hot matcha latte was done sooo well ! Worth the wait, but try to get there early.

c0uP

1. Get the pesto rice bowl 2. Get the squash hash . 3. Put the hash on the rice bowl . 4. Proceed to food heaven.

Rainbeau

It’s worth the wait and annoying part-time food bloggers. The sorrel rice bowl is one of my favorite dishes, ever.

Regina B

Dishes were very simple yet packed with flavor. Only downside was the locale. Inside is small, hot and stuffy, outside is got flies that don't let you eat off the tables which are short , seat level.

Ariel Mortman

Worth the line . The famous French toast with ricotta a jam is the best part. And the crispy Pesto rice

Agatha Yu

Their greens, egg and jam is tasty. No lines during the weekday mornings

Jose B

Great food! Nice, informal vibe. A bit crowded on weekends. Their lacto-fermented hot sauce is awesome!

Los Angeles

Get the toasted Proof brioche topped with sweet or savory ingredients, Thai-inspired salads or creamy porridge . Quiche and frittatas are also always good bets.

Abel Bortolotti Garza

Really nice place, probably it will look "crowded " but the waiting time isn't that long. You have to try the ricotta toast with strawberry jam .

Raphael Langenscheidt

Fantastic little place. Totally worth the wait. Breakfast sandwich is solid and the rice bowls are delicious. Ricotta toast is insane, too.

Kevin Garcia

Delicious food. True California cuisine that you can only get in LA. Don't forget the bacon !

Cakes

Add prosciutto , house bacon or sausage - 3.75. Add an extra egg - 1. Upgrade to a Duck Egg 1.75. Add toast (baguette or brioche ) - 2.

AmateurConcierge

Great, fresh, healthy fare makes you feel extra LA. Great breakfast options

Rachel K

Food is pretty good, though impossible parking and such a long line to order. Add halloumi cheese to the rice bowl if you really like cheese .

Jeffrey S

The creative genius behind Sqirl is Jessica Koslow. She is very down-to-earth and a lovely person. Make sure to say hello when you visit.
