Literati Cafe

Cute little café, coffee was pretty good, though we were a little disappointed with the Eggs Benedict we got. Good Hollandaise sauce, but the eggs were poached to the point of being hard boiled. The ham was also kinda dried out and tough to cut through. Finally the hash browns had a good texture with a mix of crunch and soft potato, but were lacking any seasoning. Usually not too much of an issue since you can use the yolk run off and Hollandaise in with the hash browns for flavor, but with the stiff yolks that wasn't remotely possible.

I just want to share that I had such a lovely lunch excellent hummus, vegetarian wrap that was out of this world ,full of pesto and flavor. Ariel and Amy were the baristas and they were so helpful and sweet. The whole atmosphere and vibe is so welcoming I can’t say enough… gush, gush. For a writer it is an extraordinary experience with visual tributes to famous writers around the world surrounding you.

Nice little place with a big atmosphere. Very nice breakfast selection, sandwiches, and beverages. If you feel like "starting early," they have a full bar with cocktails, beer, and mimosas. Place is decorated in true L.A. / Hollywood fashion with pictures of celebrities and artists decorating the walls. Good place to peacefully eat breakfast and possibly do a little work at the same time. I recommend 👌🏻

Extremely racist customer service. I had a meeting near this location, so I went there to buy coffee and a piece of cake. The employee there asked me if I was taking them to go in a way that felt like she was ordering me to buy and leave quickly. Just because my race is different, the other employees there started behaving in a mocking and provocative way. I went to the restroom to use the bathroom, and when I came out, the employee was waiting for me outside the restroom, even though she was the person I had asked about where the restroom door was. It was not a café, but a place full of racists and people with sick egos.

Literati does the basics well. It’s a nice little brunch spot on the busy Wilshire Blvd. I’ve only had their wraps, but it’s given me a good idea of their quality. I loved the chicken Caesar wrap. The breakfast burrito was solid, It was heavy on the eggs compared to other ingredients, but good enough to where I might order it again. I opted to convert the Turkey Avocado from a sandwich to a wrap, but I think that was a mistake. It definitely would have tasted better on a chiabatta bun. Overall, I’d recommend Literati Cafe. It’s hard for me to justify giving 5-stars to a brunch spot, but nonetheless I’m happy to have this as a close breakfast option.
