Crema's Take
“Zeidler's Cafe is built on a literal curve that makes the space remarkably quiet and acoustically pleasant—a rare quality that regulars genuinely appreciate. The menu leans deli-forward with creative touches like smoked salmon pastrami Reubens and fried dill pickles, backed by genuinely attentive service that feels conversational rather than rushed. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely breakfast or lunch where you can actually hear your conversation, especially if you're visiting the nearby Skirball Cultural Center.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Excellent service. The staff is superb and polite The menu is limited but it has quality options. A lot of vegetarian items. Highly recommended. Kids can get a PJ sandwich or 🍕 pizza
