Square One


I'd passed this place so many times on my way back and forth to Hollywood. But after finally reading a tempting little description in the LA weekly I had to try it. We were up early on a Saturday morning and made our way west on Fountain Ave. Located just across from the Scientology Center (yikes) Square One is a little slice of heaven. Everything here is so very good. And most everything here is sourced locally. The infamous Nueske bacon was thick and tasty with a deep smoky flavor and my over easy eggs were tasty. Mrs. Marvin had the skillet prepared eggs with Chorizo and cheese that arrived steaming hot and still in the pan. Spicy and wonderful, matching nicely with Gruyere cheese. And my favorite part, they have great coffee from Intelligentsia. At 3 bucks for a bottomless cup it's a bargain for sure. And the freshly squeezed orange juice was perfect. Also there are a variety of fresh fruits and jams. We tried the vanilla pear which was unusual and tasty.
Friendly and attentive staff make this our new fave spot for a quiet morning meal. A must for breakfast in my opinion. They serve lunch too but who can wait?
