Nicest (semi)vegan breakfast I had in a while. I add semi because some dishes include egg. The sauce on the heuvos rancheros was delicious.

Food was good, came here for brunch after a friend recommended it. Sad I couldn’t eat any of the pancakes since they were made with oats which I’m allergic to but the nice lady at the counter recommended some other baked goods and even went into the back kitchen to double check the flour mixture didn’t have oats. The s’mores bars weren’t what I came in for but were really good and went well with the breakfast.

Kitchen Mouse is a must try Los Angeles restaurant. Located near the heart of Figueroa St in Highland Park this hip vegetarian/plant based restaurant is a delicious if expensive place to grab a great meal and get some retro vibes. The decor is soooo beyond charming and the coffee is great, which helps because sometimes there’s a wait…and that’s okay because the food is good enough to be patient! Overall I highly recommend Kitchen Mouse and I will be back very soon. Thank, Kitchen Mouse!

Excellent little mostly vegan cafe In highland Park. The Buffalo Bowl had a great Buffalo sauce and creamy chive lime sauce that was excellent and more filling than expected.

Great! I really appreciate the $10 off If ordering directly from the store.

This place is super amazing especially the kid area. The food DELICIOSO!!!! 😁

I love kitchen mouse! Food is great, service is great. 10/10

Such a beautiful space and nice food, excellent service too.

Cute space! Delicious food! They have a kids corner!

I love this place. The only restaurant where I can eat anything on the menu and not have to fret about dairy/gluten. THANK YOU! It is delicious and nutritious. Try it! 03-02-25: This is still my favorite place to eat. Love the atmosphere, the friendly staff and of course the amazing food. Thank you, I wish I could give bonus stars.

What a CUTE spot. So adorable, so east side. Had a wonderful time. Atmosphere is max adorable 🌱

Vegan and vegetarian options are available. The cappuccino and the hot chocolate was amazing and the English breakfast was very good

Vegan food is delicious and healthy. Good and friendly service.

My favorite brunch spot in LA! They have something for everyone here. The line out the door on weekends should tell you that this is a special place. I always go for the breakfast tacos with tofu scramble. I'm vegan, but I've taken all my non-vegan out of town visitors here with great success!

They have amazingly creative vegan and vegetarian options!! One of my fav go to spots!! This time I had the Chilaquiles (vegan)! I loved their healthy spin on a classic Mexican dish!

Very cute & cozy & TASTY! It does get understandably busy on Sunday mornings (long line out the door, down the block) BUT I had no trouble finding a parking spot (that was just lucky) and was able to get a table no problem (I was there by myself, but there was availability for larger parties too). 👍👍👍👍

Almost everything is vegan and really flavorful. Jo's breakfast sandwich and the buffalo bowl are both delish

Kitchen mouse is perfect for those looking for a vegetable based meal. Eggs are optional for vegans that want to avoid them in some of the meals offered such as the chilaquiles dish. The quinoa I had was delicious and tasted like it had sesame oil. It looked like a light meal but I was honestly surprised to find myself asking for a to-go box. Definitely recommend.

Vegan mac n cheese best i ever had. Definitely my new fav restaurant. Can’t wait to come back and try every item.

Oh Kitchen mouse, I love you so! Was in town visiting family and have never had Gluten Free/Vegan food this wonderful. Had the Chilaqules and bought a box of the strawberry corn muffins. Heaven help me they were/are delicious.

Can't believe I've never been here! Got the tacos which seemed overly pricey at first, but having four of them made it seem like more of a deal. A friend ordered a single pancake, snickerdoodle flavor which made me skeptical but it was delicious! Not too sweet at all. Noise level inside is a little intense. Seems like they could do something to buffer some of that. There's outdoor sidewalk seating with shade which was nice.

Great little local hangout with a big menu of vegan, GF and nut-free options, many inspired by Mexican dishes from tacos to chilaquiles. Expect a bit of a wait at the weekend but it will be worth it! The chai coffee drink is delicious.

This an excellent vegetarian breakfast/lunch spot with a lot of gluten free options. One of the places I’ve visited most in LA and miss a lot since moving further toward the west side. It’s hard to go wrong with anything on the menu but the breakfast burrito is one of the better vegetarian burritos I’ve ever had. I would especially recommend anything with the Tempeh Bacon as it’s definitely a worthy addition to any of the main dishes. I’ve tried to recreate at home and haven’t succeeded yet. The style is a cute farmhouse aesthetic meets hipster vibes. Expect a lot of moustaches and overalls from the clientele. Mid range budget wise. Maybe a little pricey for what you get but similar to most other brunch spots in LA. A strong recommend from me and somewhere I will be back to again soo.

Wonderful service, and food is always amazing. I am not vegan but I love their options and the food tastes heavenly. The vegan cookies are to die for, you cannot go to Kitchen Mouse and not have cookies!

The cutest spot for an outdoor breakfast or brunch. We got a vegan friendly version of the chilaquiles. A lovely pairing of flavors and a great amount of food.

Very tasty. Light on the arteries. Definitely not for those on a low budget. Had the rice/beans/sweet potato/potato/collard greens bowl with a crisp fried egg. Previously used to have a kale salad (the one I used to have wasn't on the online order menu...may have been pre-2020) which was fire too. It's a nice pick me up when the world is kicking you down!

One of our favorite spots in LA. It’s healthy with lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. They have an excellent kids meal.

More people need to know about this place it’s so good!!!!! Amazing Mac n cheese and cute decor inside. Jackson helped me with my order and made me feel so well taken care of, the staff really cares! Definitely give this place a try!

Went twice in the span of a week that’s how good it is. First picture is the chilaquiles, a side of tofu egg, and their massaged kale + mushrooms salad. Easily the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had. Yummy all around. Salad amazing. Second photo is the caprese sandwich with a watermelon mimosa. The caprese sandwich again has to be one of the yummiest sandwiches I’ve ever had. Different flavors just boom in all of their dishes. What a fantastic restaurant!

The Tofu Scramble is 🤌🏼, so so good. I would highly recommend this as a brunch spot, getting the Tofu Scramble with pancakes and the Tempeh Bacon is a really good choice. Coffee is good too, lots of milk alternatives. Staff wise, all so so polite and welcoming, will be coming back! Edit: Came back and had the snickerdoodle pancake stack - one emoji reaction: 🤤

Great place - lots of vegan options. We had Vegan Jo’s breakfast sandwich and Mickey’s Chilaquiles - both amazing. Great service and lovely interior.

Ordered chilaquiles and rose lemonade. So good!!!

This cafe is family friendly and offers outside seating. Visiting from Portland this local gem was a treat. Reminded me of home! Healthy and vibrant foods that nourish your soul. As a meat eater I have to say this was one of my favorite places to eat visiting LA.

Really delicious healthy food with vegetarian/vegan options and substitutes. Nice casual atmosphere and limited outdoor seating. Portions are quite large!

Cute atmosphere, some nice bagel sandwiches if you’re into that kind of thing; or just grab a cuppa’

+1

Great breakfast and lunch menu with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. I always get Jo's Breakfast sandwich (with fried eggs, gf avo toast, arugula, Chipotle sauce, and lime/chili oil) and the pine nut cookies which are to die for. They have inside and outside seating options

I Love KM! Joe is the Muse Supporter of the Great Conceiver & Chef--Great staff! marvelous food and atmosphere--the best!

Very fresh with healthy and yummy choices. The hibiscus ginger tea is so refreshing! Subdued atmosphere so you can chat with a friend over lunch. They close at 4 so plan accordingly.

This is now the place that makes the best pancakes I've had.

It was sooooo delicious. Specially the jackfruit tacos wow

You may know them as a bright and airy brunch spot but they’re now open for dinner with a totally different and romantic vibe Friday & Saturday 5-9pm with plans to expand to 7 days a week in the summer of 2025. Perfect ambience, service, healthy plant-based food, and drink selection for casual sit-down dinner dates. This is the first time that I have to mention that a restaurant’s filtered tap water tasted great.

I loved the kitchen mouse cafe and catering. It was recommended to me and I am glad I took the recommendation. I had the chiliquiles and they were amazing. The staff was super friendly and the food was phenomenal. I would highly recommend you checking out Kitchen mouse cafe and catering and would love to come back.

Kitchen Mouse is a vegetarian restaurant and it's my new favorite spot! Sometimes it does get crowded cause their food is SO good. The servers are super chill and the ambiance is pretty cool too. Parking is kinda hard though.

The cute, retro kitschy decor is only the beginning at Kitchen Mouse. Catering to the vegan gluten-free crowd, the breakfast tacos can be made with either egg or tofu. I'm neither, so I chose the egg option and added the optional avocado. It was really good. Fresh corn tortillas filled with scrambled egg, lettuce and greens and drizzled with delicious creamy sauce. I also opted for a strawberry corn muffin that was also delicious. My friend ordered the Sunshine Bowl which had seasonal fruit nestled on top of fresh homemade yogurt and sprinkled with granola. Garnished with chia seeds and an edible flower, she said it was refreshing. She also had a gluten-free chocolate donut that she said was really good. They offer bottomless coffee and free wifi as well. Definitely recommend Kitchen Mouse.

Food was absolutely delicious and portions are generous. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered the Chilaquiles which were the best I'd had in a long while! Absolutely delicious. We left very full and satisfied.

Very good brunch spot, kinda wait a while, but with the food wait. Good vegan options, and their gluten free pancakes are by far the best gluten free pancakes I've tried, other ones taste plain AF.

Got the breakfast tacos, added the salsa roja & avocado. The food was fantastic! It's on the pricier side (approximately $15 with the add-ons), but the quality of ingredients is high, and the food is very fresh & flavorful. We got the moros cakes to share, and they were delicious as well. It has a hipster vibe, and the food does not disappoint.

Great place with lots of vegan food! They do have regular eggs if you want that. Staff eat super friendly and there is nice outdoor seating.

I feel like this place has gotten better with their food and service over time. The space is now bigger now that they have the outside area and the two neighboring stores. There’s a little attached boutique with lots of cute goodies as well. The breakfast tacos are the bomb! I love these delicious little things. I ate everything! Such a highland park staple and if you’re vegan it would be a sin not to stop by.

So great to eat at a place that’s fully gluten free. I heard that they used to not be fully gluten free, but have made changes to be a gf restaurant which luckily has now made it safe for everyone that gluten intolerant and celiac! Absolutely delicious food. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Cute restaurant with indoor and some outdoor seating. Bathrooms for patrons available. Definitely recommend!

best gluten free food i have had in a long time, the staff were so kind, and the atmosphere is just lovely. thankful to have this place nearby.

I’ve been working in the area (which is very far from my home in LA) and a friend suggested Kitchen Mouse. There’s a huge variety of choices, so I asked Beatrix if she could help me out with keywords “something healthy and filling.” She suggested the Gomasio Brown Rice Cakes which was a bowl that was out of this world. Flavor explosion, kept me full, and was healthy with shishito peppers, mustard greens, and crispy oyster mushrooms with a cilantro and ginger chutney sauce. I’d come back for that dish, and with Beatrix’s amazing service and care. She even checked a binder in case I was allergic to any of the nuts in the dish. Her service was refreshing and so was the food! Come try this place!

Very cute, great tasty food, awesome staff. We came on a busy Satuday morning but got a table and our food came promptly. We'll definitely be back.

I love you Kitchen Mouse, never leave. Great for vegans :) My go-to is the kale and oyster mushroom salad with two mushroom patties as an add-on. It's the best salad ever. It's amazing if you also add avocado but it gets too pricey to add on their avo, so I will add if I have one at home. The vegan breakfast sandwich is incredible too. Love the staff. Love the vibe.

Every single employee was super friendly, the raspberry brownie was DELICIOUS 😋 and such a cute tranquil place for a hangout with your friends or to sip on some good coffee while doing some work. Definitely coming back!

All I can say is WOW ! These were the BEST jackfruit tacos I’ve ever had. Tons of flavor and some good kick. I will definitely be back for more. The pastries I’ve had there are great too. THANKS.

Vegan food (with real eggs optional), cute atmosphere, and a sign reminding us that 🧊 needs a warrant

Eduardo Cisneros

Since my new job has me going around L.A. I've been trying to catch any vegan spots. This one is amazing! will be coming back forsure.

Art Markman

This is a great vegetarian breakfast and lunch place in highland park. It is nearly all vegan, except they have an option for real eggs in some dishes. The food is tasty. They make good coffee. The baked goods are fantastic. It is a nice place to sit with a small group for breakfast or brunch and chat. They also have a few outdoor seats if you want to people watch on Fig.

This place is such a gem! You’ll fall in love with the atmosphere and be head over heels for the delicious, high quality menu. Kitchen mouse has always served food that’s delicious and with plenty of healthy options. I’ve moved away and still order delivery or takeout whenever I get the chance. Kitchen Mouse will always have my heart!

Kitchen Mouse is one of those rare spots that feels like it’s smiling at you the moment you walk in. The soft green and pink décor, the whimsical touches, and the cozy kids’ area all make it feel like stepping into a storybook. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made , from their baked goods to their fresh breakfast items, lunch and tasty early dinner offerings , everything tastes like care. The staff ,Owen, Clara, Dominic and the whole team , are as warm and sweet as the kitchen itself. They make you feel seen and welcome in that effortless way that can’t be faked. If you’re anywhere near Highland Park, treat yourself to their happy hour from 4 to 6, or stop in any time for something fresh made with love and delicious. Kitchen Mouse is a place that reminds you that food can be both joyful and nourishing , for the body and the heart 🥰 Tiny haiku Poem for Kitchen Mouse little green dream house flour and laughter in the air kindness tastes like this.

Best gluten free pastries in LA! Everything is delicious but the strawberry scone and pistachio cake are my faves. For breakfast I get the morning glory bowl and smashed potatoes. Yum. The tofu scramble is mind-bogglingly delicious. I also don’t know what they do to the brown rice but it feels like I’m eating a dessert coz it’s so chewy, fluidly and perfect.

I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. The set up is adorable. The staff is so sweet and helpful. The food is AMAZING. My friend brought me here and told me there wasn't a bad thing on the menu and she was right. The jackfruit tacos were so good that I waited in a line that went out the door...TWICE and it was absolutely worth it. Definitely my favorite new brunch spot.

Tiffany Alco

The food here is delicious and the whole place is super cute. Highly recommend the lemon blueberry pancakes 🥞. Also, everything at this location is gluten free and is vegan (unless you get eggs).

Diana Kim

great place to eat if you have food allergies or not! i have several and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable about the food. mushroom tacos were BOMB as was their gf/df pistachio pastry

Marie V.

Today I tried the Chai Oat milk Latte and a pistachio/rose scone. Both were excellent, and I was grateful because this little treat cost almost $15. The Chai is homemade and served in a ceramic cup, which I always appreciate when paying $7. For that price though, it would be nice if it were a couple of ounces bigger. The pistachio/rose scone was pricey ($6.50), but perfectly baked - soft, with subtle flavors. All ingredients taste high quality, which may account for the prices. This is my second visit. On my first trip I had the Caprese on a bagel, which was delicious. There are so many good things on the menu. There's a huge variety of traditional and unique flavored baked goodies (muffins, scones, cookies, bagels & croissants), and the vegan food options are really good (more savory, heartier selections that include bagels, sandwiches, toast and a soup of the day). I think I'll be taking the 3-Bean Italian soup to go and will update on that later. 🥣

Lauren Armstrong

Fave brunch spot now that we are plant based. Love the chilaquiles and the smashed potatoes! The fresh juices and the matcha lattes are exquisite. Also the burger salad and the Mac n cheese are yummy for lunch! Vegetarian with vegan options for every dish. :) Service is always friendly, kind, and expedient. Love this place!

Adorable spot in Highland Park, fast service and really good food. There’s plenty of seating and no wait on a Sunday morning. I recommend the Breakfast Sandwich, and the Moros Cakes are pretty good too. If you’re feelin’ squirrelly their Chocolate Chip cookies are delicious! Tried their Chai Latte and wasn’t disappointed. Very smooth and not too sweet; well balanced. Definitely coming back here to try more of their menu.

Irene Tang

Cute vegan/vegetarian place: order at the counter and then find your table. Great options and ofc even non vegetarians would enjoy it. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Cute spot lots of green color and plants inside.

The food is delicious and the place is adorable, it’s great for brunch. The only drawback is that it’s really popular so you may have to wait in line on the weekends, but the food is great I highly suggest eating here. Love this spot.

Cute spot for brunch with adorable decor and super friendly staff! I tried the breakfast tacos and my friend had the chilaquiles and both were delicious. We even got some corn bread for free! They have a section in the back for kids to play and a little store attached where you can buy candles and notebooks and such. Everything is vegetarian and I believe you can make all meals vegan.

The menu is perfect. Just the right amount of options, and the servings are generous with fantastic flavor, texture, and freshness. There is really nothing negative that can be said about this relaxed but presentable little spot, other than my opinion that the complimentary muffins could be scaled up in size or quantity.

Vegan cafe that's very family friendly. Offers pre-made meals to go.

I purchased a walnut brownie and opened the box to no walnut brownie lol. The dirty chai latte was alright. 7-10 Cute and friendly.

I showed up late and my friend ordered for me. Whatever it was, it was yummy and healthy. Very Californian/Mexican. Don’t go there over brunch time on weekends if you want quiet. Very very kid friendly and community oriented with play area in the back.

Kitchen Mouse is a vegetarian restaurant on 59th avenue and Fig. Atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Interior decor resembles your own kitchen house with accented lights and classic dinner tables/chairs. Similarly, it is well organized, neat and lots of natural light. Outdoor seats are available albeit very limited. Prices are a bit on the high end for HP neighborhood. They accept cash and credit/debit card. Staff are friendly and professional. On a busy day, service can be slow and long lines. You need to order first before you take a table. We ordered their three stacks House Pancakes, made of oat, buckwheat, and corn flour with blue berries/strawberries, toasted coconut and maple syrup; and two scrambled eggs. Pancakes were flavorful and fluffy and thick; the eggs are perfectly cooked and their coffee was just good. Overall, if you like veggie breakfast KM is the place to be.

Dine in | $20–30 We had the breakfast sandwich with fennel sausage, jackfruit tacos and breakfast tacos - each with their homemade tofu scramble - the jackfruit was incredible, scramble the best I’ve ever had, the tortillas were amazing and the veggies fresh! That said, service was kind when we spoke with any staff member but we had to clean the table we wanted to sit at, our meal was missing an add-on item we paid for and the service after paying was pretty nonexistent. Go for the food and enjoy it for takeout and you’ll be so happy as the food is amazing!

Good vegan and vegetarian breakfast options. Loved that you could sub out eggs for avocado or tofu scramble on most dishes. Yummy vegan treats, non-caffeinated hot beverages in addition to coffee, vegan cheese, the works! The “crab” benedict and the tofu scramble were amazing. My only complaint is that the serving sizes were quite small and it was pretty crowded. I’d avoid coming here during prime time because there was a long line.

We have been to the cafe a few times with our toddler. The place is inviting, casual with good food. The menu is not large but offer enough variety that satisfy us. We also love the Kitchen Mouse Bakery just around the corner from the cafe.

First time coming here. Just wanted a cute vegan spot for coffee with some food. They had so many options it was hard to choose. I ended up ordering something extra to go. Everything was so good. I had the breakfast sandwich, dirty chai latte, jackfruit tacos and a tart with apples and almonds. It’s bittersweet that I live in South LA otherwise I’d be here every week. 😅

I stopped by in the evening since I was in the area after a meeting and I'd been wanting to check this place out for a while. They have a different menu for dinner, and while I was a little bummed (because their breakfast/brunch menu looks great), I was still looking forward to my meal. I was seated at a corner table near the entrance of the establishment. There are two seating areas and I was a little surprised/confused that I wasn't seated in the area where other patrons were eating. In my experience, restaurants typically seat people together so that servers only have to tend to one area. Maybe they thought I wanted to be alone? Maybe they thought I didn't want the distraction? Either way, I just looked out the window and people/dog watched. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and the Psychedelic Daalipop. That tuna was absolutely spectacular! It had a great flavor and I loved the pickled ginger on top (which was a nice surprise because it wasn't listed in menu ingredients). I'd definitely get it again when I want to splurge.... it was a little on the pricy side at $14 for 2 cakes. The Daalipop was super tasty as well. I loved the variety of flavors and textures in this dish. Overall, I spent $35 (on two dishes and no beverage, not including tip). It's a nice vegan place to visit with fresh, clean ingredients that you can taste, which contributes to the higher price point.

love the food, but expensive. this cup of orange juice was 6 bucks. obviously it was filled to the top of the cup, but it was really small cup.

Came in today at ~2pm. Waited in line to order for about 25 minutes (there were maybe 6 people ahead of us??) Ordered. Sat down. Waited about 35 minutes for our food. Restaurant was empty by this time. We paid for an hour for the parking meter. By the time we were done eating, our meter had expired. Food was def good but maybe overhyped???

I love the ambience and vibe of the place. It's very healthy and I found it to be a tad unsatisfying. I ordered the chilaquiles and the sauce was really tasty but everything on the plate felt random. I also had a side of snickerdoodle pancake and it was such a healthy pancake that it shouldn't be associated with snickerdoodle. They gave us a taste of a corn muffins with a spicy jam and the spicy jam amazing but the corn muffin was somewhat underwhelming. I'd go back to have a coffee and an egg dish and enjoy the bustle.

I normally love Kitchen Mouse, but recently ordered two sides of potatoes ($4 each) with my order. When I got the order, it was a hilariously small amount of potatoes. I don’t think it would have amounted to one potato for both of the orders. But I’d spent $8. It was slightly ridiculous. Luckily the breakfast sandwich was super good!

I tried a myriad of dishes and beverages… while the quality is good, and while if on a restrictive diet this would open a lot of culinary options; ultimately, the menu fails to provide any novelty, nor does it make up for this in flavor or craftsmanship. There is no service, so while there is plenty of seating available, it’s the case that you must wait in a line (I went on a Sunday) for around 25 minutes just to place your order, so you can take a seat. The music selection was great, the coffee was well brewed, the huevos rancheros stood apart from the rest. The price is what you would expect for a chiefly vegan restaurant in Highland Park, that is to say above average. Assuming you are like me, a consciousness, albeit omnivorous, creature, this restaurant will disappoint you.

As a Mexican American, chilaquiles are one of my absolute favorite dishes! The chilaquiles here are definitely… unique, very interesting flavor! However, to add an extra double shot in my iced latte — it was $1.75 for each shot.. that is kind of insane… too expensive for me overall, cute decor tho!

I’ve been coming to kitchen mouse for years. I didn’t mind the prices because the food was good, but today was it for me. I placed an order online for a build your own bowl, when it arrived, I was shocked at how much it was for what I got! Kitchen mouse has slowly gotten worse when it comes to portions. A few years back, the price reflected the quantity, but now it’s LAUGHABLE at what they think a good size bowl is. This just goes to show you that places like this move into neighborhoods, and slowly price out long time residents on a night out, to cater to other new comers who aren’t a part of the fabric of the neighborhood, would you eat here for a 30 dollar price tag for scraps? For the cost of a cookie, I’d rather go down the way to Amara Kitchen. We all work hard for our money, and todays the last time I ever order from Kitchen Mouse. They use to give you three Moros cakes for each bowl, now just two, the yams I ordered, looked like half a serving, I had to specifically ask for sauces to be full because there’s been many times they aren’t, if I’m paying those prices, I want my full meal. Overpriced/hipster place, that epitomizes what’s wrong with Highland Park, and why most of the longtime residents here eat elsewhere, I’ll be among them. The double chocolate cookies I received weren’t good either.

The prices have gone up and now house favorites are half the portion and charging extra for what use to already come in it. The staff is so nice and it's such a great place but to make the portion smaller and up charge $3+ and then charge more to add on ingredients that use to already be in it feels wrong. I understand food cost has gone up but it would be better to raise the prices and keep it as is or if it isn't cost efficient just take it off your menu. Look at the portion difference from March to July and now you have to pay extra for the sausage in the sandwich.
