Located very close to our favorite Airbnb, we stopped in to try breakfast here one morning and fell in love. We've been three times this week and had something different each time. A great breakfast brunch spot with lots of seating inside and out. It's self-seating and everyday we went it was busy. Service is nice and efficient. Food is delicious. Over the course of the week, We had:Breakfast sandwich with a chipotle aioli Peanut Butter smoothieOrange Vanilla smoothie Alka-Seltzer juiceFarmers breakfast with eggs, meat and toast CoffeeVegan lemon-poppyseed breadChicken pesto panini Three cheese burgerGreek wrapOatmeal breakfast cereal with fruitWe had all the sides, fries, home-fried potatoes and salad. All were fresh and tasty. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We loved it all and highlyRecommend this place for all of your brunch needs. I did notice lots of mimosas, smoothies and drinks. Prices seem reasonable for what you get and the food comes quickly.

First of all, there's free parking in the back! There's meters around the restaurant as well. The wait was short and the staff is friendly! They gave me amazing recommendations all meeting my dietary needs, gluten and dairy free! I ordered a vanilla latte with coconut milk and it was delicious. I contemplated ordering one to go! Lol. I also ordered the chicken sausage plate with gluten free bread, potatoes as sides, and even the veggies were amazing. I finished my plate I used the restroom before I left and they're clean!

Solar de Cahuenga is a cute little restaurant right on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin, and it looks like they've got a nice-sized outdoor seating area. Their parking lot is pretty teeny though - only a handful of spots, however, they do have at least one designated spot for pick-up and to-go orders!I've driven past here many times and finally decided to eat here with a new friend. My friend and I sat inside where it was cozy; she only had coffee and I had a Nutella + strawberry crepe, which was decent but not "WoW." I'd give the crepe a 3/5. I also ordered some food to go to take home to my BF: a breakfast burrito with some modifications and a Triple Threat smoothie. The smoothie was so refreshing and delicious! I had to stop myself from drinking my BF's entire smoothie!! I knew I should have ordered two smoothies!The second time I got food from Solar de Cahuenga, it was a major letdown!! Granted, ordering off of UberEats may have been a factor for the order being totally inedible. My BF keeps kosher, so when we ordered breakfast burritos, we specifically asked for NO meat, because he can't mix meat with dairy. The UberEats app doesn't have an option for "no meat," so my BF did the most logical thing and wrote in the notes, "NO meat." We then called Solar de Cahuenga to verify that the burritos would be made without meat, and the girl on the phone seemed a bit annoyed and impatient with my BF, but we were confident that the food would come with no meat.When the food arrived, we dove into our burritos with gusto, but then a look of horror spread across my BF's face as he realized that his burrito was full of bacon and cheese. Mine was too! My BF broke his ankle about two weeks ago; his appetite has been pretty poor, but he was finally hungry for the first time since the accident, and I was glad to see him looking forward to eating a nice meal, but unfortunately he couldn't eat even one bite.So disappointing.One would assume that a call to the restaurant to confirm our order would have been more than sufficient to ensure that our order would be made correctly; PLUS our meal cost like $80 for 2 breakfast burritos, 2 orange juices, and 2 iced cinnamon coffee drinks. So nuts!! Thankfully the drinks were excellent. Solar de Cahuenga, in the future, please try to be more mindful when preparing food for anyone who keeps kosher. Thank you.

I found this special little coffee shop unexpectedly while wandering down Cahuenga. It is a wholesome little shop with a good selection of coffee and fresh juices, that also makes a variety of good breakfast dishes.The interior is well organized with multiple little sections with slightly different feels, giving it a welcoming spirit where you can choose the spot which fits your mood the best at the moment.There are multiple entrances into the place in each one also feels different from the other, one coming from a back garden like feel, one coming in from the side with an almost art deco feel, then in front along Cahuenga there is an old style overhang with an outdoor seating area in front.It makes the place feel very spacious and interesting to explore. The place is very clean and cozy inside and the staff were friendly and accommodating.I enjoyed my Pain Perdu (french toast) this morning, it all tasted very fresh. I am craving to come back and try their lemon Rico to pancakes - that sounds yummy.

We had to stand in line for about five minutes, but the woman who helped us was very welcoming and very gracious. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband had the Chiquititas. The food was good. The restaurant was very clean. The only negative was it was very hot. Uncomfortably hot. I mentioned it to an employee and they just said that it's because people keep the doors open. They were both closed when we were there.

A lovely place for a lovely time. Just love the simple yet quaint decor in the space.Offers both indoor and out door. Service is mid from some of the service folks. But one guy was super sweet! Coffee and fresh juices were also delicious.

I don't have any pics because I always eat everything before I can take them and the only reason for that Solars delicious food ! Friendly stuff, veranda like ambiance with bunch of plants , what can I say, we looooove Solar

OK it was years and several owners since I was here last. I went with a friend who's birthday it was and we wanted to have coffee and cake. The service was very good, the cashier/waiter/ everything did a very good job. The Chai was hot, the cheesecake was divine. I am coming back for breakfast and I hope it is as good as the coffee and cake.

The food is really good, little pricey. Good people watching. Friendly staff. I love the black iced tea.
