The Comfort Cafe

Tsz and I spent all of Saturday in a class/field trip where we traveled all over LA on the metro and got off at various points to take photos. It was a great day and we snapped lots of interesting photos at the LA cathedral, walt disney concert hall, and Olvera Street. We were totally worn out though by late afternoon and decided to stop somewhere to grab dinner. After driving up and down the Silverlake Blvd. strip a few times, we settled on the Comfort Cafe. We were basically the only two people in there, with a few people coming and going. My first impression of the place was that it was really cute. It had tables with giant, colored sunflower patterns and the flower pattern continued to the walls. A frog statue sat on a table surrounded by varous entertainment magazines. The restaurant has quirky charm without going overboard and making you feel like you're sitting in a weird theme restaurant. There was a giant chalkboard where all the options were written. I especially liked the choices because there were plenty of vegetarian options. They serve breakfast all day, which is great for those of us who like to sleep in late and meander out for some eggs in the afternoon. The woman who was working there, and I'm pretty sure is an owner, was incredibly nice and I got a welcoming, neighborhood feel from the place. I ate the breakfast burrito and Tsz had the eggs with bacon and bread. Tsz especially liked the bread, which we found out was whole wheat bread from La Brea Bakery. My burrito was very large with lots of sides: sour cream, avocado, beans, salsa.

You can find the cafe at 2520 Hyperion Avenue in Silverlake.
