Meyers Manx Cafe

Upon walking into this fantastic spot from the street one is met with both California Car Culture and high ceilings of eclecticism. The decor is that of surfboards inter mixed with floor length drapes, wicker light fixtures and a ton of art from the mid to late 1960s including graphic art that simply says ' Turbo Tears'. Javier was wonderful and matches the kindness of the staff. They roast coffee from South America here in house and the baristas are so very wonderful in what they do. The merch looks amazing and ranges from shirts to classic model cars to pounds of coffee. This place smoothly acts as a cafe and well positioned towards the front after the host stand. The breakfast burrito is all day long and one of my favorites in LA for two reasons - the freshness of the eggs and the fantastic mango based salsa that accompanies it. The wonderful NaHesi is amazing energy and a great server here and kind. He's commanding and adds a touch of class to this experience. Being a surf inspired space, it's got a menu to match and I am grateful for this. Thank you Señor Manx for your restaurant and happy the subway will be stopping right in front of your location. Vrooooom!

We stumbled in on a whim while visiting the Academy Museum next doors and honestly, I’m so glad we did. For being in LA/Hollywood, the prices felt surprisingly reasonable. Our table even looked out over a few of the cars in the museum showroom, which made the whole experience feel pretty cool. Also worth noting thay you don’t need a museum ticket to eat here, so it’s totally fair game even if you’re just in the neighborhood. I went in with pretty low expectations for museum food, but I was genuinely blown away by how good everything was. You might look at the menu and think, “that’s pricey for what it is,” but trust me the quality absolutely backs it up. Overall, it was a really pleasant surprise and I’d happily recommend it to anyone in the area.

I ordered the Cobb salad and my husband had the burger with fries. Both dishes were delicious — fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was amazing; everyone was so friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. When we come back to California, we will definitely make our way back here!

Excellent food in an unforgettable environment. I had the margarita pizza and the peach tea lemonade—both were outstanding. The café’s design is bold and fun, with mirrored interiors that reflect the spirit of the iconic Meyers Manx dune buggy. If you can, eat outside—the patio is a hidden oasis with palm trees, city views, and an actual Meyers Manx buggy on display. It’s a perfect mix of great food and classic California culture.

The food was decent. I ordered the tacos, but I’m not sure why the wrap wasn’t cooked. Maybe that’s just how they serve it? The flavor was okay overall. However, the mocha espresso wasn’t very good. That said, the atmosphere was really lovely. I absolutely loved the vibe of the place.
