Hugely delicious

I ordered the crispy cauliflower and fennel flatbread. The cauliflower was great but the fennel flatbread was next-level amazing. Some of the best food I’ve had in recent memory. Very friendly staff, too.

Little Pine - 3.5

I’ve eaten here a few times in the past. Shockingly I was sitting next to Moby one time (when he was an owner). While the food was typical nicer vegan food, I was very convinced one time they served me boxed potato leek soup from Imagine Foods. I love this brand but could have just bought it for a fraction of the cost from Whole Foods. They didn’t even add anything to the soup…it was just this purée boxed soup.

All Fine at Little Pine

When you Find the World is Blind
While All Your Kin Seems Not to Mind
If Mothers, Babes Got Left Behind
To Languish, Die on Silver Tines

Give a Shout, to Them Remind
Your Course is Set with Courage, Spine
Be Not Afraid Their Corrupting Whines
Violence Never a Celebration Time

And While Their Ways are in Decline
To Cruel Requests Do Not Resign
Save Yourself With Food Divine
Remain Where Love is Always Kind

Pros: friendly casual staff, cute cafe, great location, relaxed atmoshpere

Cons: told many menu items contain impossible meats

Oh hey, you're welcome! Btw, Impossible foods are so gross, if you're thinking about replacing them with housemade seitan, I fully support that!

Fancy entrées

Great outdoor setting. Indoor seating is still closed. Their Mac (with a fancy name) was 👌. Crisspy kale Salad I don't get. I rather get a fresh salad didn't realize what I would get.

Cannot recommend this place enough. The staff were so lovely and sweet, and they knew the menu well. The food was fresh and delicious, and didn't feel too heavy. I 100% suggest you get the garlic parmesan fries!

Pros: 100% vegan, Good portion sizes, Friendly staff

Cons: A little pricey, Minimal parking (but lots in surrounding street)

Lovely venue with great food

Visited Little Pine last time I was at LA, and it did not disappoint. Biggest problem was that everything in the menu looked so delicious and it was so hard to choose what to eat.
All dishes were great and I loved the back-yard "garden" where the tables were placed.

It's definitely a must-go for any vegan foodie who is in town for a few days.

Pros: Tasty food, Lovely Venue, Good portions

Little Pine

I went with the eggplant steak as the main and banana pudding as the dessert. They were both delicious and the portion sizes were also quite satisfying! I highly recommend this place.

Fabulous

My only complaint is that there were too many wonderful choices on the menu. Great wine/beer list too. The small plates are not tiny and chic, they are generous, as are the entrees.

Pros: Service , Vegan, gf, nf options

Cons: Pricey, Outside eating is right by traffic

10/10

I’m not Vegan but Little Pine surprised me with how good it was. The food was amazing. What made this experience so good was also the people there. Little Pine staff is so nice as well as the customers who eat there. Everyone is so happy and the vibe is something I’ve never felt before at a restaurant. It feels loving, caring, and like you are part of a community. There were even a few dogs there. 10/10

Pros: Community, Food, Vibe

Favorite brunch in LA!

I loved our brunch at Little Pine. I ordered the apple sandwich- I was skeptical but wanted to try something different. Oh my goodness it was so good! I also ordered a chocolate croissant and was very impressed. The service was kind and consistent. I am excited to go back the next time I’m in LA!

Pros: Vegan brunch options!, Rotating pancake specials , Delicious food!!

Didn’t live up to the hype

Was pretty excited to try this place since it’s out of the way for us. We had the gnocchi, piccata, and burger. The gnocchi was tiny and we had to order the burger to really fill us up. Overall, ok food with high prices.

Best chocolate chip cookies

I’ve never ordered something here I didn’t like. They used to donate their profits to animal rescues which they don’t anymore so that’s a bummer. But the menu is delicious. Small tapas plates so the cost adds up.

Pros: Nice ambiance , Delicious

Cons: Small helpings

Good spot suffering from pandemic woes?

I had high hopes for Little Pine, but the menu was fragmented compared to what I’d seen online previously & it was difficult to figure out what to order. It made me wonder if they were having some pandemic, supply chain issues.

Ultimately the food was ok, but nothing to write home about. I did enjoy the milk & cookies at the end!

Pros: Milk & cookies, Outdoor seating

Cons: Fragmented menu, Had to wait 30 mins after reservation

So many options, hard to choose 😉

Outdoor seating with heat lamps to stay warm during chilly weather. The atmosphere is perfect and we loved all the different options. Portion sizes are large and we did not leave hungry! Would definitely recommend this!

Pros: Variety, Ambiance , Yummy

Lovely outdoor dining in Silver Lake

Had a lovely brunch at Little Pine this weekend. I ordered the off-menu croissant sandwich, which was very well done and quite filling. The sandwich was complemented by a lovely Caesar-style salad. My partner had the apple sandwich, which came with quite a spicy coleslaw (order if you love horseradish!). There was plenty of outdoor seating, wait staff were all masked, and the space was pet-friendly.

Pros: Nice brunch selection, Cute atmosphere

The staff are so lovely - thank you to the manager, Joshua, for checking in on our table last night to make sure we were taken care of; and thank you to our server, Ben, for being so delightful and attentive.

Highly recommended dishes:

- Mac and cheese
- and make sure you save room for cookies and milk ;P

I will be back again and again, thank you Little Pine!
