Breakaway Cafe

Food was delicious! Portion for the Egg plate was surprisingly generous especially for the price and the burrito was filling!The staff was very nice and funny.If you're looking for a good neighborhood bite, this would be your place.

The Baseline: For a Breakfast Cafe they must have quality eggs (preparation/product), coffee must be good (roast quality/flavor), baked/pastry/bread products must be flavorful, reasonable wait/service time, and existence of uncommon combinations.Food: The food is excellent and exceeds the Baseline. My eggs were prepared over easy and had a silky, smooth cooked exterior and the yolks were the right amount of runny. The toast was properly crisp and properly soft on the inner bread, recommend the sourdough. I had the drip coffee which was flavorful and the beans used smelled/tasted properly roasted. I also had the shakshuka which is a little more common in LA but not everywhere so they had some uncommon offerings (also the breakfast burrito bread pudding and Muesli look interesting to try on future visits.Service: It did take a little longer for us to get seated on the day we came but that was a weekend around 10am. Once we ordered and were seated the service was excellent. My water glass was not empty and the staff were friendly.Ambiance: This is a nicely decorated cafe in the walkable section of Culver City across the street from Helms Bakery shopping area. The cafe was busy and had a good vibe with other patrons enjoying a good breakfast on a weekend.Overall I will come back when the opportunity arises.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm with a couple friends. You order at the counter and then pick your own seat - it's pretty busy on Saturdays but luckily a table was finishing up as we just got done ordering. I got the breakfast burrito and the vegan butternut squash soup. I LOVED the soup, it was very light, and honestly paired so nicely with my burrito (even though that wasn't necessarily the intention). The breakfast burrito had a perfect cheese pull and I was glad I opted to not add meat to it because that would've been a little too heavy for me.I thought the ambiance for the cafe was really nice. It wasn't too loud and there was nice music playing, but the music was the perfect volume to be able to still have a conversation. For my soup, burrito, and my boyfriend's burger (not pictured) + a drink, I spent a little over $44 (not including tip). There's ample parking in the area as well so it was breeze to get there.

Great spot near downtown culver! Simple breakfast and lunch menu with coffee options. Really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit and aioli! They also have condiments (hot sauce) to take to your table to use. Very nice staff! A good amount of tables inside and a few outside. Street parking available (metered).

What a lovely gem of a spot in the Arts District of Culver City! I picked up a breakaway grains salad from the cafe and was pleasantly surprised at how large it is, so for the price the value is quite good as I can see myself eating this over at least 2 meals! The quality of the produce is fresh and the egg was perfectly cooked to 7 minute perfection. Lots of grains that come with the salad, fresh hummus and a perfectly just slightly tart lemon vinaigrette goes so well with the salad. Service was fast because I ordered online but I could see when I arrived that there are plenty of tables and also a fast moving line at lunchtime.

Who knew this place was around the corner from my usual work out area. Food was tasty, respectful and pleasant staff. Location is cute and feels so relaxing. I would come here again when in the area. Not to mention the lattes were so good and comforting.

Homey ambience, friendly staff with fast service, great coffee and food! I went on a quiet weekday morning so it was pretty empty inside, but seats may fill up fast on a weekend

Regardless you're looking for breakaway time from the crowd or meeting up with someone else, this cafe might be a great spot to stop by. It's quite packed during peak hours in the weekend, and despite quite many seats were available, I'd say most tables were made more to accommodate smaller groups up to 3-4 people. The service was swift despite the busy time. It's great that they made people ordering then sit and wait for the orders to be delivered to the table, avoiding long lines crowding the space. I tried one of their favorite dishes, Brie and Jam croissant, which you could even go extra by adding bacon. It was totally simple pleasure for me, as the sweet and savory mix was so enjoyable, besides every single ingredient came in generous portion as the pic could tell.

We stopped by this place for lunch during the Great LA Walk on November 23, 2024. We were starving by then, and Breakaway Cafe has many healthy options to satiate our appetite.Breakfast burrito is a thing here, but I ordered a bowl of salad and grains. The ingredients were fresh and tasted great. The portion was substantial, and it sustained me for the remaining 8 miles of the walk.It was not immediately obvious that we had to order at the counter, but the staff did bring the food out to us. We didn't have to wait long, and the outdoor area allowed our friend with his dog to sit with us.
