    Great service, and food while I wait for the oven to be ready for a pie!

    Honestly love this place it's a hidden gem.

    Absolutely love this place.  Our office is down the street and nothing really affordable, or desirable,  in the area for just normal food.  Regularly will take advantage of a slow morning and grab breakfast here and hang in the outside area to enjoy an extra cup of coffee, etc in a somewhat peaceful place hidden in an otherwise not always peaceful surrounding.  Eggs Benedict rock, omelettes are pretty cool, great veggie stuff for when feeling the need...Lunch time burgers and sandwiches come with fries or a salad and a pickle, duh!

    Everything is really good, pretty high quality diner approach (Without the now usual hipster vibe for what is actually a diner), and the service is always cool.  They know who you are, even if they don't know you, but actually care which is awesome.  It may be like a dollar overpriced, but you will not leave hungry.

    There's parking all around the street if you want to skip the $2 valet that shows up around lunch time...I think it's $.50 an hour if you have to grab a meter just north, otherwise free south or west.

    Was tempted to rate as a 4 because this is not necessarily fine dining, but comfort level and appreciation for this being around is a 5.  Kudos!

    I'm so happy I discovered this hidden gem when I moved out here. This has become one of my #1 spots for breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and omg pizza! I'm still in shock how this place makes such a delicious pizza! It really rivals some of the other pizzas out here in LA. They really do it all here! Everything I've had here has been awesome with zero complaints!  There's a lot of love that goes into the food here because everything tastes SO fresh and savoringly good. I really can't think of anything that's lacking here. Whatever cravings you have LA's Best Deli & Cafe can pretty much satisfy them. There's plenty of healthy and veggie options also to choose from, along with a few Keto customizations as well. I just can't see how you can go wrong here. And I can truly say this because I've tried almost every variation they have on the menu. Everything is affordable to the pocket as well and the ladies who work here are always friendly. Yes, I've officially become a regular here thanks to both Karla and Betsy are both ABSOLUTE sweethearts, so look for them whenever you go in because they'll make you feel right at home. You can park free in the parking lot during the week before 11am since there's a mexican food spot next door that gets packed during the lunch hours, otherwise it's $2 after 11am and always free on Saturdays. FYI closing time during the week is at 230 and by 130 on Saturday's since its not updated on Yelp. Did I mention that they pretty much have anything to satisfy your cravings? Well they do!

    Pretty solid American food if you're in a rush for a quick bite during your LA lunch breaks. Food is fast and simple, with delicious omelettes, salads, sandwiches, and pizza items. I got the ABC omelette (avocado, bacon, cheese) it was tasty and super hearty. It comes with a side of hash browns or home fries! We also got an Italian sandwich, which was loaded with tons of meat.
    You get seated to eat, but you pay at the front counter.
    The parking is a bit rough, but they have $2 valet parking.

    Love this place for my breakfast on the way to my work in Vernon. I usually order 2 egg + 2 toast with fruit and it's perfect!
