Eater

Sycamore Kitchen knows how to mix dough and sugar together into something magical. The place does some of America’s best pecan sticky bun work, but don’t sleep on the simple doughnuts either. Read more

Eater

Waiting in line for Karen Hatfield 's salted caramel sticky pecan babka is more than worth it. The tomato-onion tart , buttercup bun and rye chocolate chip cookie are all also delicious.

Tulani

Specialty lattes are insane! Bottled Stumptown . Food is delicious. Brunch blintzes are crazy rich, so share them. Portions are generous. Seating is always available and the counterfolk are lovely. ????

Jason Yeh

Come before they stop serving breakfast , and just order the salted caramel sticky pecan babka and the best breakfast sandwich in LA. Also grab a Stumptown cold brew to wash it down.

The perfect brunch spot ! Everything I had here was fresh, flavourful and delicious! No doubt there will be a line on the weekends, but it is worth the wait! An absolutely phenomenal experience

Diana Olympia

the scene of my first post-COVID #backtobrunch meal. got there 9:30-10a ish which was perfect timing before the rush. good food good pastries + dog friendly patio !

Los Angeles Times

If you get there before they sell out, you should get the pastry called kouign amann, a.k.a. buttercup, whose perfect caramelization should be taught at every cooking school in the world. Read more

The turkey sandwich is heavenly: thick slices of nicely brined bird layered on dense house-made bread with thin slivers of just-ripe Camembert cheese , arugula and cherry mostarda. Read more

Have only been for brunch but everything is amazing. Counter service but snag a table first because it's super busy. Savory, sweet, all is fantastic

Thrillist

They're serving up gourmet goodness like cheddar-rosemary croissants , dark ale-spiced gingerbreads , and pastrami-short rib-Gruyere sandwiches , all of which you can wash down with Stumptown coffee . Read more

Los Angeles Times

There are all kinds of French pastries that you don't often see around here, such as the almond-scented brioche slice called bostock, and the puckered Breton butter pastry kouign amann. Read more

The Farmhouse Chop at Karen and Quinn Hatfield's singular La Brea restaurant is vibrant, wholesome and lives up to the agrarian reference in the name. Read more

Best chorizo egg sandwich ever. Almond brioche French toast ... wow. Great outdoor patio - dog friendly !

Jennifer K

I loved the salmon Tartine . Layers of flavors & textures. Seating can be a challenge but overall can't go wrong. Oh and you kinda have to order dessert ????

LA Weekly

Loaded with roasted turkey , kidney beans , stewed tomatoes , toasted chile peppers and, yes, braised kale , Sycamore Kitchen’s is totally Cali and totally satisfying. Read more

Julia Park

The salmon tartine is exceptionally fabulous (super fresh); but everything else is amazing as well . My favorite brunch place in LA for sure!

@JaumePrimero

The brown butter date bundt cakes are amazing! Love the turkey chili with kale , and if you are looking for a sinful treat try the banana dulce de leche cake !

Linda

You can't go wrong with the turkey sandwich with Camembert , ginger limeade , and any of the pastries . Chocolate chip rye cookie is fabulous.

Bobby Solomon

Recommend the scrambled egg and chorizo sandwich or the quiche with an iced latte . Get there early or late as the line can get long.

Los Angeles Times

The Sycamore Kitchen is the new breakfast-lunch project of Quinn and Karen Hatfield — it is the sandwich-shop offshoot of a restaurant with a Michelin star . Read more

I loved the babka , the coffee muffin was ok & the butter dough thing was amazing

LA Weekly

At Karen and Quinn Hatfield’s cozy café you’ll be introduced to the charms of a lighter, healthier chili . Read more

Spencer Lopes

Great coffee and food!! I️ recommend the scrambled egg and chorizo sandwich !

Bullfrog & Baum

The Iced Cubano (espresso , milk , cinnamon ) is an amazing pick-me-up in the afternoon - or an indulgent way to start the morning!

Abdulaziz HD

This place is the heaven of pastries . Everything is great, don't miss the butter cup cake & the salted caramel papka

Patti Rayne

Chicken breast sandwich came highly recommended. Inedible with too much lemon zest . Too sour. Removed the zest and ate. Gr8 dessert choices. Date bundt!!!

Los Angeles Times

The salads are big ones with perfect greens and tiny sparks of things like hazelnuts , dates and blue cheese . Read more

Kristine Katona

LOVE: market salad , quiches , salted caramel bobka roll, tuna Niçoise salad , short rib sandwich and soy latte :))

RC ⚾????????

Delicious and trendy , but I wish they would put out a sign telling customers not to snatch tables until after they have ordered! Little seating, but it works with no hoarders.

Nil K.

Everything is sooo tasty. Perfect place to start the day or have a coffee break at.

Serious Eats

The breakfast sandwich is killer, as is the babka sticky bun .

Get the buttercup (aka kougin amann) pastry . Best pastry I've ever eaten.

Madlyn Runburg

Everything. Seriously. Tasty, fresh food , lots of choices - all yummy!

Will Danner

So so good. Everything is great but i especially like the cured salmon toast

Bullfrog & Baum

The new neighborhood concept from culinary couple Karen and Quinn Hatfield. It's OK--go crazy on the pastry . Karen doesn't disappoint!

Erik Uriarte

The salads are easily big enough to share between 2 people for a light lunch .

Bullfrog & Baum

The Sycamore Kitchen is now open for full, hot breakfast—in case delicious pastries and coffee weren’t enough.

Scott Mc Kiernan

Dog Friendly :) food is sooo fresh and tasty
