In ShortThis popular Third Street cafe buzzes with an animated neighborhood crowd seeking its famous buttermilk biscuits and deluxe salads. Young guys in black turtlenecks rub elbows with boho-chic chicks, older couples in cashmere sun on the sidewalk and local families with kids. Plate glass windows bring in the street scene, with two intimate rooms surrounded by blond wood, sagey earth tones and lazy jazz. The breakfast menu is expansive--specialty omelets are made variously with Merguez sausage, lox, and crab cakes--while other egg dishes include the Scottish benedict and eggs Bechamel. Salads range from warm spinach, avocado, orange and asparagus, fresh mozzarella and artichoke, and roasted tenderloin while sandwiches run the gamut from grilled ham and gruyere to BLT and burgers.

The BEST salad selection in town ... and bisquits, too!
by yes2no
Everytime I have a taste for a good salad, I automatically think of Quality. I met with some friends there, and have been hooked ever since. Now, every time I'm in the area, I stop in for either a salad or a delicious bisquit. Did I say delicious??? I mean, THE YUMMIEST!!! I highly recommend the Warm Spinach Salad, add shrimp or chicken. It's substantial, healthy and delicious! Happy eatings!
Pros: Salads & bisquits to die for!
Cons: street parking, only, but well worth it!

Meh. Expensive and bland.
by cbulow
We had the breakfast wrap and grilled chicken pesto sandwich, both of which were very bland. The chicken pesto had no trace of pesto taste to it and the chicken and clumps of mozzarella wouldn't stay in the bread no matter how hard I tried. The french fries seemed like they came out of a frozen bag. The breakfast burrito had very little cheese in it and the potatoes that came with it were bland as well.
The service was slow and we waited for our check for 20 minutes before anyone noticed and then they dropped it at the table with an attitude. Prices were way to high for what we had. Pineapple juice was $4.50! They had a plate with a bagel, cream cheese, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce for $7.50! I wouldn't recommend this place.
Pros: Fresh
Cons: Bland food, poor service, overpriced, hard to park

I'm full
by ktothet
Wow... another reviewer wasn't kidding about their biscuits: amazing! The only way to describe it is... I think this biscuit was a donut in a former life. A touch of sweetness, so moist, YUM! Also, I am a waffle/French toast girl, not so much of a pancake girl, but I had a pancake and it was probably the best pancake I've ever had. No lie. Also very friendly and accommodating service.
Pros: great service, good coffee
Cons: a little pricey

Boo
by angeleno_05
On my very first visit i had the buffalo mozzarella and artichoke salad which literally came with TWO small slices of mozzarella for this huge salad. The salad was very bland, below average, overall not good. I wasted 12 bucks on a huge salad with nothing but lettuce and boring flavor. I'm willing to give it another chance though and try something else on the menu next time.
Pros: clean space, simple menu items
Cons: the bland and pricey buffalo mozzarella salad

Better than moms cooking...
by talulaknuckles
This is a classic example of relaxed, California chic dining...
The food is always awesome and in large portions...and the price is still low (well low for LA anyway!) I always thought my moms cooking was the best, but...well sorry mom! Quality Rocks!
Pros: good food, good prices
Cons: wait for a table

Best. Biscuits. Ever.
by dirkins
We go to Quality almost every weekend. If you don't like to wait for a table, get there early. The best thing on the menu, hands down, is the biscuit. It's big, it's steaming hot, and it's the tastiest biscuit I think I've ever had. I highly recommend you try it!

All-Around GREAT - Great Vibe, Service, and Food!
by lissomelily
This breakfast spot is one of the best-kept secrets in LA. The consistently delicious food, laid-back vibe, and friendly staff make it my favorite. It's dog-friendly, too. In fact, the waitstaff are always ready with a piece of bacon for our pug! Try the corned beef hash and poached eggs. You won't be disappointed!
Pros: Moderately Priced, Great Service

Yum
by dealinhoz
Definitely one of my fave places to have breakfast at. I usually go for the corned beef hash which is delicious. Other than that, you can expect good looking LA people and simple yet enjoyable breakfast. I saw Rose McGowan at the next table eating.
Pros: Good breakfast
