Café Telegrama

We actually were here in January, I just forgot to leave a review! (Naughty 😭). So, I had the All Day breakfast — It came either with bacon 🥓 or avocado 🥑, sourdough toast, soft scramble 🍳 & a petite salad. My gf got the grilled cheese 🧀 and tomato soup. It was sooooo good! There was a line when we got there, but it moved quickly. The service was also good. I wish there was a location in Dallas where we live.

It quietly presents one of the most compelling breakfast arguments in Los Angeles. The space is relaxed and unfussy, a setup that keeps things moving. The pancakes are the undisputed headline, easily some of the finest in the city. They arrive warm and soft, tender without collapsing, free of any rubbery resistance. The blueberry compote tastes like pure fruit while the maple syrup is never flooding the plate. The french toast is thick slabs of golden brioche, crisped edges, custardy centers, maple syrup soaking in slowly. The all day plate hits every mark. Soft eggs, well cooked bacon, creamy avocado, and a bright salad. The cappuccino is smooth and well made, frothy and dialed-in at the ideal temperature. It is a fast-casual spot that refuses to feel rushed. It feels artisanal and precise.

Simple food but done well. Pancakes were delicious - I loved the crispy edges and fluffy interior. The All Day was good but nothing to write home about. Yummy eggs, yummy greens, yummy bread and a fresh avocado. My friend got the raspberry espresso tonic which was nicely balanced. Had to circle a bit for parking on a Saturday afternoon but there were open spots a few blocks away.

I’ve passed by this place so many times and now I regret not trying it sooner! The café is spacious and welcoming, with charming indoor and outdoor seating. When I walked in, I wasn’t quite sure what to order, so I took a moment to explore. That’s when I noticed the restaurant next door, which shares the same owner. There, I met Evan, who greeted me with a warm, genuine smile. He kindly answered all my questions about the menu and the space, and even recommended a few items I’ll definitely be coming back for—like the grilled cheese and tomato soup. This time, I ordered the egg burrito and the blueberry pancakes. The standout for me? The pancakes! They were light and fluffy with perfectly crispy edges, and the blueberries were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The team was very friendly and attentive. Big thanks to Evan for putting together such a great staff. Such a wonderful spot—can’t wait to come back and try more!

Many people have recommended this place to me, and I had only heard good things, so I finally decided to give it a try this weekend and can honestly say I am also a fan. It’s a really hip, casual, and tranquil café that also serves some really good food. It’s not a full service restaurant, you place your order at the counter, they give you a number, and then they bring the food to you. The menu itself is not very large, but all the options on it looked great to us, and we both loved the dishes that we ordered. Parking in the area can be tricky depending on the time but we were able to find a free neighborhood street spot about a block away. Service was pretty quick, there was only one person in front of us in line when we got there and then had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for our food to arrive so it was a really quick process. They have seating inside as well as out, however, the tables outside are larger and there is a little bit more room in between the tables, so that’s where we chose to sit. I decided to order what I was recommended and went with the All Day which is basically a soft scramble and salad, as well as bacon or avocado. I loved how the eggs were prepared and thought they were overall fantastic. It’s not a large sized portion, but a perfect sized one. It’s enough to fill you up, but not stuff you up. We also ordered some of the Pancakes and thought they were pretty unique and also very good. You can tell that they are cooked in butter because the edges curl up and they are not the traditional, fluffy, buttermilk style, but rather thinner, cakier type pancakes that really soaks up the syrup flavor. Most of the tables around us were ordering it as well, so it’s definitely one of the more popular items on the menu. Overall, I would highly recommend if you are in the area or even if you are like us from Marina del Rey, it’s worth the drive to have a great breakfast.
