Casual cafe dining rooted in simplicity and balance, serving artful food with fresh and surprising ingredients.
Good lunch spot with a pleasant service and atmosphere. we had the Tuna melt and Patty melt. Both very nice - although as a previous poster mentioned any bill above 50dollars gets a gratuity of 18% added which is annoying. That being said the food and atmosphere is great.

Less than pleasant dining experience. Ordered the turkey lettuce wraps. The turkey arrived burnt to a crisp, which is actually toxic for the body. I politely reordered the turkey lettuce wraps, bit into one and it was raw. Apparently the food manager was in house but I was never recognized after bringing the issue to the front counter. Got my refund and won’t be returning.

We had an avocado toast with scrambled and fried eggs and it was really delicious. Unfortunately we were waiting for coffee and lemonade longer than for food (other tables were served with drinks first despite they came after us) and the milk in our coffee was burnt. Would definitely come back for food but thought twice about getting coffee here again.

PSA: 18% SERVICE CHARGED ADDED TO BILL IF YOU SPEND OVER $50. Crazy...no signage until you pay. They don't even tell you. Super shady but I'll admit, the food is decent and decor is nice. But nothing to come back to, especially with the limited parking around the area.

Foods are good, but extremely poor service— the lady who served us was very rude and acted in a racist way. Even though we were polite, she threw the straws onto our table impatiently but was really friendly to other customers. We’re visiting from New York, and for such a busy restaurant, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. It gave me a very bad impression of LA.

1 had a terrible experience at this coffee shop. The service was extremely slow, taking 15 minutes to deliver a coffee to the table. I ordered a regular latte with almond milk, which cost $7.66—a ridiculously high price. To make matters worse, the coffee was burned and tasted awful. I’m surprised this place is so busy. This was my first and last visit, and I do not recommend it. If you want good service and quality coffee, avoid this place.

Whoever was taking the order in the front has a lot of attitude. He was aggressive and snapped at me. Food is okay.

My wife and I were hunting for a good option near Rodeo and I'm glad before d this place. Amazing bread made the sandwiches delicious.
We split the turkey and venue sandwiches and a plate of fries. A perfect amount of food.
The patio offered some unexpected entertainment as we watched a drama unfold in the form of a free episode of "Beverly Hills 20-somethings". :D
I'd share pics but I dove in too fast.

1. No signage out front. Was I at the right spot? Who knows! Went inside. No signage there either!
2. No menu available to view until it’s your turn at the register! Nothing hanging on the wall, nothing to grab from the countertop. Had to wing it
3. Learned tip is included! At a restaurant with no servers!!! WHAT?
4. An umbrella tipped over and also smashed into an infant in a stroller on the sidewalk. Nice infrastructure.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years. But I won’t be coming back. The portions have gotten smaller and smaller. You pay close to $30 for a meal that does not fill you up. To make matters worse, they add an 18% gratuity before tax. What are they adding this gratuity for, I really don’t know. You order the food at the counter. All in all, you do not get value at this place. There are plenty of restaurants in the area that give you a decent plate of food without forcing an 18% gratuity down your throat.

MANDATORY 18% TIPS BUT POOR SERVICES?!?!?!‼️⁉️🆘🆘
We came around at 11:30am and the restaurant was pretty empty (not a busy time). Still, our order took a long time to arrive. While we were waiting, nobody served us any water. 😓When the food arrived, the yogurt was spilled and there were only two sets of utensils for four people. When we asked for more utensils and water, the Mexican waiter looked really impatient and impolite. The look he gave was absolutely offensive.🤔When we were finished, the same waiter came with a big attitude, banding forks and knives against the plates and murmured in his mother tongue we couldn’t understand. Overall, I just want to say. If you charge a mandatory 18% “gratuity charge” beforehand, then you should act like you deserve it. 😥😥

"I recently indulged in brunch at Croft Alley in Beverly Hills, and it was nothing short of a fantastic experience. The cozy ambiance of this charming café provides the perfect backdrop for a leisurely brunch. What truly stood out was their brunch menu, which is a delightful fusion of creativity and taste.
To start, the avocado toast with poached eggs was a true revelation. The creamy avocados and perfectly poached eggs combined for a delightful combination of textures and flavors. The freshness of the ingredients shone through, and it's evident that Croft Alley takes pride in sourcing the finest local produce.
Their coffee was exceptional, as always, and it complemented the meal beautifully. The attention to detail in the presentation of each dish added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.
One cannot overlook the friendly and attentive staff. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made sure our brunch was not just a meal but a memorable experience.
If you're in Beverly Hills and in search of a brunch spot that offers both quality and creativity, Croft Alley is an absolute gem. It's a testament to the culinary excellence that Beverly Hills has to offer. I can't wait to return and explore more of their brunch offerings."
Brunch at Croft Alley is truly a treat worth savoring. Enjoy your next visit!

It can be really tough getting a table here but it's always worth the wait. I would strongly recommend getting a reservation instead of trying two wait around for an hour. You have to try the waffles here. They are the best thing on the menu in my opinion. They are also very instagrammable. 😍😁. Expect to pay around fifty dollars a person if you have any type of appetite.

Maybe the cashier thought we were tourists. I think we got way over charged. Two sandwiches and a drink cost $65. I wanted the cashier to print the receipt, but never got it. We sat outside. The environment was okay except the cars kept honking on other cars that were waiting for the pedestrians to get across the street. The sandwiches and the drink were also okay, but not $65 okay.

Best tuna melt in the game. I’ve had it countless times but service was exceptionally great today so had to leave a review! Must try :)
Published 2 years ago
I'll start by saying the food here is incredible. Very very overpriced. But incredible.
This review is primarily a result of a personal experience from the service on my 4th visit within a week.
Every other time I went here the food was great and the service was ok no issues. Also the ambiance is cool. They have a little out door area for seating as well as some indoor seats.
Generally, we would walk in and my wife would find a place to sit and we would then order food. This was never a problem the previous 3 times we came in. Today, however, seemed to rub us the wrong way.
There was an extremely long wait to order food so I asked my wife to grab a seat and I'll order whatever she wanted as her back hurts after standing for too long (this stems from a prior accident she was involved in).
As she went to sit down the gentleman at the front yelled at her "actually you can't sit down until you have ordered". My issue with this is two fold.
First, the staff could have been much more friendly about it by saying something like "excuse me miss, sorry but we ask that you order food before taking a seat please" or "excuse me, can you please order before taking a seat".
Alternatively, they could have also posted this "unspoken rule", that nobody was ever aware, at the front as people walk in so that we would be on notice.
Second, I had been here on three previous occasions within the last week and had never been told that we need to order before having a seat.
I understand the logic, as they want people to be seated on a first come first serve bases. However, if that is how you want to run your restaurant you should probably have a hostess and seat people as they come and have waiters take orders, instead of forcing people to order first and pay up front and grab their food from the bar.
Unfortunately the tone of his voice coupled with the way he said it was so rude that it was embarrassing for my wife.
Sadly we will not return anymore even though they had excellent food.
I wish maybe they would train the staff a little more properly on restaurant etiquette to hopefully prevent this in the future.

I just realized when my friend mentioned to me I may have been scammed. I ordered 2 cappuccinos $5 each , waffles $18-20?, and scramble 20-25? I expected it to be like $45-55. I didn’t put tip on register, and just paid for it quickly. Coming home and checking bank app I see I was charged $71. My bad for not taking receipt, but if you go here get receipt!

Croft Alley is a staple must here in Beverly Hills, prime West Hollywood! It’s casual counter service! Interior is beautiful it’s rustic in a good way, it gives a home away from home take for the interior,

Firstly, location! Such a fun spot for people watching and the Cafe itself is very relaxed and incredibly unpretentious.
The Staff are absolutely part of the appeal! The Cashier was incredibly friendly, cracked jokes and even came out to say Hi and remembered my name- good points there!
Ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, the Waffles and the Salmon Bowl. My Dear Sweet Corn Bread.... it was AMAZING! The Waffles were absolutely the best I have ever eaten! The flavour was out of this world!
Salmon was fresh, flavourful and delicious and the coffee was divine.
This is my new favourite brunch spot in Los Angeles and some of the best food I have eaten in a minute! Absolutely returning and also want to try out the Melrose location.
