Crema's Take
“Stir Crazy goes all-in on creative, ingredient-forward dishes with adventurous flavor combinations—think leek toast with French onion dip and roe, or rockfish carpaccio—backed by an open kitchen and genuinely attentive staff who actually know how to recommend. The sidewalk seating and full breakfast menu make it ideal for lingering over specialty drinks, though expect to pay premium prices for small portions that don't always land. If you're after playful food with personality and natural wine rather than traditional coffee shop vibes, it's worth the splurge; if you want straightforward flavors and value, look elsewhere.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

What a let down. Muddled flavors, tiny portions and awkward service. All the dishes lacked balance in flavors and needed a big squeeze of lemon. Chefs in LA need to work on flavors instead of only learning to plate pretty. Anchovies - extremely salty I choked. Summer squash - a…
Fabulous dinner here. Fresh ingredients prepared with unusual flavor combinations. The vibe was warm and welcoming, cool without trying to be cool. Fantastic Austrian natural wine. Absolutely delicious pork collar that was so tender. Offbeat and delicious beet and strawberry…
