Kitchen Mouse

Top choice in Los Angeles


A super-cute cafe with tied-back curtains, freshly picked flowers and sidewalk tables, Kitchen Mouse is Highland Park's favorite herbivore. Everyone from alt-fashion bloggers to mature middle-class couples flock here for generous, mood-lifting vegan and vegetarian dishes such as the avocado TLT, a moreish combo of avocado, cherry tomatoes and tempeh spiked with hot Dijon mustard and crunchy sunflower brittle. Good coffee, too.
