Matthews Garden Cafe

The food was decent, but the service and coffee were below average. Even with low prices, poor service is not excusable. When I arrived at the café, a group of waitstaff was gathered around what appeared to be the owner, focusing on him rather than attending to customers. The service was slow and unwelcoming. I wouldn't recommend this café.

Matthew is always present at the restaurant, greeting his guests with a warm smile. The staff delivers exceptional five-star customer service.

Discover this hidden gem in Pacific Palisades on a Sunday. We tried the huevos rancheros and avocado toast, and topped it all off with a delightful crepe. The ambiance is lovely. If you arrive early, you won’t have to wait long for a table. Afterwards, you can visit the farmers market.

Waiting staff was good, but the food was bad enough to guarantee 1 star. It wasn't just eating well, it was really bad. The ingredients in the crepes appeared from a frozen bag that had been omitted too long, and the goat cheese tasted old. My wife and I felt sick, both ended up half of our meal. Huge disappointment... I expect more of a $15 meal.

Atmosphere here was was nice? but it did not make up for the bad food and service. The potatoes tasted like greasy reheated leftovers. The English muffin was stale. The egg was over cooked and not runny at all. The chilaquiles were decent, maybe a highlight of their menu. I will not be coming back here.
