I recently had a wonderful lunch at Alcove on Hillhurst in Los Angeles, and it was truly a memorable experience. This place has been a staple in the neighborhood for years, and everything here is made with an authentic touch that you can taste in every bite.
For the first time, I tried their short rib Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious. The little potatoes that came with the dish were insanely good, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I also ordered a decaf latte and treated myself to a flourless chocolate cake, which was simply amazing—rich, moist, and decadent.
The patio at Alcove is incredibly relaxing, a peaceful oasis that makes you forget you’re in the heart of Los Angeles. The staff is exceptionally nice, adding to the overall calm and welcoming vibe of the place. It’s one of those spots where you can truly take your time, sit back, and enjoy the moment. The ambiance perfectly complements the laid-back, charming vibe of the Los Feliz neighborhood.
Parking is a breeze, with plenty of spaces available just a couple of blocks away, making it easy to take a leisurely walk through the area and admire the beautiful houses nearby.
But let’s talk about the pastries—they are out of this world. Alcove offers some of the most incredible cakes, and their cinnamon rolls are among the best I’ve ever seen.
Alcove holds a special place in my heart as one of the first places I visited when I moved to L.A. 12 years ago, and I’ve loved it ever since. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great spot in the city. I just hope it doesn’t get overwhelmed with a new wave of hype that brings in long lines like some of the nearby coffee shops—this gem deserves to be enjoyed without the crazy crowds.
