on Citysearch Mar 28, 2009I have never been to this place and not waited over an hour for my food. We waited for an hour and twenty minutes for a burger and a sandwich this weekend. When the food finally came, the burger was severally... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2009I won't lie to you, The Alcove makes some damn good salads. And it's pretty there, a very pleasant place to have lunch. However, I don't understand the prices or the service. A chopped salad with chicken isn't worth... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 05, 2008My friends and I were visiting from London, and overall loved the food and atmosphere. But ahead of us in line, a woman was poorly managing a wriggling baby and kept allowing it to stand on the small counter space where... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 30, 2008It's the place where I meet my friend who lives in Pasadena. We love their menu and outdoor seating. There is never a problem when she brings her dog, a bowl of water for the dog will be provided with a smile. The food... (more)

on Citysearch May 27, 2008So I have become a little obsessed with alcove over the last year or so. I love bringing people here, especially who aren't from the area. It is such a cute atmosphere and great for a casual date, family or friends. The... (more)

on Citysearch May 01, 2008it's just like urth cafe. you order and pay for it 1st (which i personally find annoying). perhaps this place has slower service than urth, but the food/desserts more than makes up for it. there's a cheese&meats store... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 07, 2008I hate this place. I am a neighborhood local and detest the overpriced, poor food and weird sense of having to tip for no service. I have tried and tried. I am done. Lower your price and your attitude. Scientologist... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2008This place is really convenient to my apartment, and I would like to give it a better rating. It's in a converted house, and the renovation was very nicely done. I think it may have started as a coffee/dessert shop, but... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2008Sure, the desserts are expensive, but it's worth the price with every rich bite! And no, I didn't mean to rhyme. The ambiance is perfect - the Alcove is more of a dining room to me & my family of friends than my own dining... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 23, 2008went there for brunch on Saturday 2/16/08. BAD IDEA. Eggs Benedict were more like eggs over hard, tofu tasted like it was fried in bacon grease, the fries tasted fishy & tough like they had been cooked in yesterday's... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2008Food was good, but it took 45 minutes to come out. It was slightly cold by the time we got it. Service was ok until I checked my credit card statement online, and they tried to scam me out of another $10 on the bill!... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 17, 2008Located in the charming neighborhood of Los Feliz on Hillhurst Ave, you'll find an escape from the hardships of your day handed to you in the petite package of an old bungalow with tables and chairs scattered among its... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 19, 2007My guess is the Alcove is super mid-morning or mid-afternoon during the week. The setting is lovely, particularly in nice weather. Their food is solid - breakfast seems best to me though people swear by the tuna salad... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 04, 2007Getting a meal at The Alcove is tough: the line tends to be long and snake out the door, people do push sometimes, and it gets a little chaotic. Then you have to find seating. Alcove makes good food, but their speciality... (more)
