Very similar to Mayberry.
Great food (get the sweet potato fries!), great service, and a great menu.
Only downside is the outdoor seating is awkward and stuffy.

LOVE this place!

Service - always friendly and prompt.

And the food...ooh, everything is always served fresh and quick!

Turkey roll up, whole wheat burrito, rosemary turkey burger. Mmmm...now, only if they could perfect those sweet potato fries!!!

We had read about this cafe in the New York Times a while back.  Yesterday we decided to go there for lunch before going to the Getty Villa.
It was totally worth it!
We were there while breakfast and lunch were being served.  There were many things on both menus that I wanted.  I had the blueberry cornmeal pancakes and my husband had the Brazilian grilled chicken salad.  Everything was super tasty!  Healthy and fresh!  I would make the trip back for sure.  There are many cute stores surrounding the cafe, you could make an afternoon of it.

this place was awesome...the service was fast and the employees were very nice. the price is reasonable and you get FREE REFILLS with ANY DRINK. they have a great vegan selecton if you're into that also.

FYI, park on the street and if you're coming with a group, keep it small, vida is a pretty small place.

Mmmmmm.

Cafe Vida is delicious.  The breakfast wrap is my favorite item on the menu although the chipotle garden burger comes as a close second.  They also always have at least one vegan soup which is always a good option as well.  

Overall, great place for health freaks, vegetarians, and their boyfriends.  The wait can be ridiculous on weekends and even randomly on weekdays so be prepared.  The wait it worth it though. Trust me.

I have been working on a project in London for the last 2 months. I thought I would make my first outing back to L.A. towards the beach.  I am so glad I went here. The food is so fresh and the smoothies picked me right up. If you want to feel refreshed and get out of the grimmy city with bad attitudes and unhealthy food- come to Cafe Vida.

My favorite restaurant!

Really tasty, healthy food! Absolutely everything is good! (My favorites are the spinach chicken caesar salad and the tuna melt).  They can accomodate dietary needs.  Great for takeout. You'll see Heidi and Spencer from The HIlls there a lot.

The friendly service is slow at times but the food is delicious.  It's generally packed whenever I go but well worth it.  I feel badly for the restaurants around there because they never seem to be as busy as cafe vida!

It's a great place to walk to with the dog and sit on the patio to enjoy a fresh spinach and celery juice with mexican inspired eggs.

I really love this cafe, although forget going there on the weekends when every person in the Palisades decides to descend on the place. It's best if you going during the week. I love their fresh-squeezed juice and corn and blueberry pancakes. It's a little pricey, but it's ALL good.

i love this friendly neighborhood cafe. we usually go every weekend after hiking in temescal canyon. it get's pretty crowded though, but not if you get there early. my friend's and i love the 2 plus 2 plus 2. it's 2 eggs, 2 pancakes (you can choose from multigrain with banana and blueberries, blueberry corn pancakes, or buttermilk) and turkey bacon or regular bacon. my friend's love the coffee, they ask for fresh milk on the side, and i really like the fresh squeezed orange juice. i've also had the lemonade which i thought was a little watered down.

all in all a great place to gather for a saturday or sunday morning brunch. the place is also dog friendly. they will provide water for your dogs too.

Terrific spot for lunch or a snack of fresh squeezed juice- veggies or smoothies.  I was impressed that they made my green juice of parsley, spinich, celergy and carrot- called potassium boost.  They also have really fresh sandwiches, huge salads and a unique fresh-freshist cali-mex food I have tasted.  Lovely people, sweet location.  I advised walking around temescal first and getting your feet on the ground!
