The Apple Pan
10801 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This legendary counter-style institution feels like stepping into mid-century Los Angeles, where quality hasn't wavered since opening day—their hickory burgers and hand-cut fries are the real deal, made the same way they've always been. Whether you're perched on a worn stool for a quick bite or lingering over coffee and pie, you'll find yourself surrounded by a mix of devoted locals and curious travelers, all soaking in the genuine warmth of a place that refuses to chase trends. It's the kind of spot where the staff knows what you want before you ask, the coffee flows steady, and everything tastes better because it's made with decades of consistency and care.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Comfy, rushed, old school, touristy and local all at the same time and that’s what makes it great. Stools change over quickly and the loyalists know to ask for their fries well done and order their sandwich lightly toasted. I had the tuna salad on rye. Generous amount of tuna…
Not only the best burger in L.A. - but maybe the best in the USA! And great throwback vibe! I went back to the Pan for the first time in years - and the hickory burger was awesome as usual! I used to go here in the 1980s on a regular basis, always for the hickory burger (best in…
