Limitless Options! - Edit
All organic and all amazing dishes being served at this cozy cafe. There were plenty of options and I was stuck between several choices. Other members in my party had the same issue! We finally ordered and no one was dissapointed. I built my own bowl and it came out amazing. The marinated tempeh was the highlight. Definitely recommended for any meal of the day whenever you're craving it.

Why did I wait so long to come here?! - Edit
I should have tried this place ages ago, but so glad I finally did. Came in at opening after a pretty long road trip and got exactly what I needed. The breakfast burrito had the perfect ratio of egg, potato, cheese and meat and the house made hot sauce is bangin. Can’t wait to come back.

Best Fajitas Ever - Edit
First time here, but I hope to return soon. So much to choose from! I went with chicken fajitas, was not disappointed. The chicken and veggies were served on a sizzling plate as fajitas are. But it was more like a stew, tomato based. Thin sliced avocado on top, black beans and Spanish rice on a separate plate. Very mild, next time will add some of the house made hot sauce. Friendly service, fast kitchen crew.

Tres Leches Cake 🍰 - Edit
I always get either the Oaxacan tlayudas, chilaquiles, or sweet crepes, and usually, their tres leches cake for dessert. Best staff ever. The Grain Cafe is my go-to whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

Love - Edit
The whole experience at the Grain is ace. This location especially is painted vibrantly and the staff are adorable. Food options here are endless: sandwiches, salad, pizza, breakfast, but my favorite is their Oaxacan specialties. Pro tip: buy a bottle of their homemade hot sauce.

The Grain Cafe is very tasty! Been here a few times and I liked everything. I wouldn't get the waffles again because they were a little dry for my taste but they were still good. Love the atmosphere with their outside dining area.

Still can't believe how bad it was - Edit
I ordered the huevos rancheros and it tasted like it had Campbell's tomato soup at the sauce. It was so bland and just horrible. It was by far the worst I have ever had. I would give my meal 1/10. My husband got the huevos chorizo and he gave it a 5/10.

So Many Good Options - Edit
The extended family went for brunch, we were all very happy. Everything was delicious. We had nachos, quesadilla and chilaquiles with red sauce. All great, particularly the chilaquiles. My wife and I shared the veggie crepe and the tofu and cheese crepe, both outstanding especially with the homemade hot sauce they have. I tried my sons waffle with fruit, amazing. The tofu scramble looked delicious as did the sausage pasta my niece got. My other niece got tacos that were plated beautifully and she said we’re good. I have had the pico crepe before and was amazing. My younger son had the chocolate crepe, demolished it so I think it was good. My in-laws had the grain crepe which they enjoyed. Will definitely come again

Some good, some not so good. - Edit
So this was the second time I've dined here and I've found the Sopes on the Oaxacan specialty menu to be better at the Long Beach location. The masa base of the sopes is supposed to be firm (to hold shape and the ingredients that top it), but soft so that it can be bitten through. That's how they were served in Long Beach and this is what one of the wait staff told me at this location when I asked. The masa was tough and leathery and impossibly to actually bite through. A knife was needed to actually cut it apart. Not so good.
Read moreI ordered the Mole Burrito which I thought was very tasty. Hubby thought the mole had a weird flavor, but it worked for me. It was a large portion and it's something I would definitely order again. Hubby had the Chicken Fajitas, which he found a bit dry, so he asked for some pico de gallo. What came looked like tomato soup (hot) with some chopped up tomatoes, onions and other ingredients in it. Maybe just skip the tomato soup part next time?
I'd go back just to try other things on the extensive menu. Stay away from the Sopes, though!
Pros: Large menu, Friendly staff
Cons: Sopes not prepared correctly (or so I'm told)

Excellent food, great, friendly service - Edit
We were in LA for a PCRM event. The Grain Cafe was near by so we stopped in on two occasions for food. We were pleasantly surprised at the options available, full menu served all day. Our first meal we shared a tofu scramble and a berry crepe. Both were delicious and well made. Our second outing featured the Grain breakfast (pancakes, tofu scramble, home fries and sausage) and a Rueben (my wife loves Ruebens). which were super filling and delicious as well. The service was great. Do stop by when you have a chance.
Read morePros: Lots of options., Willing to accommodate individual needs , Great service
