In Short
During the week, this laid back corner café is frequented by Los Feliz regulars and the occassional Grey's Anatomy cast member, fresh from filming down the street. While there are a handful of tables inside the cozy dining room, the prime seats are on the sidewalk. Mustard Seed started serving dinner in late 2008, but breakfast and lunch remain the cornerstones--expect a wait on weekends. For the morning meal, you'll find healthy options: a lean protein plate, egg white omelet, tofu bruschetta and a veggie egg white pan scramble, along with heartier fare from south of the border like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and the ubiquitous breakfast burrito. Lunch selections feature a similar mix, with California-style sandwiches, burgers and salads, plus quesadillas and soft tacos (ahi or grilled chicken). The newer, smaller dinner menu includes a few sandwiches and salads from the lunch menu, plus entrees like grilled salmon, chicken marsala and an Angus steak. The café also offers organic coffees, chai and loose leaf teas.
