C&M Cafe

My chicken sandwich was soo good! But service is pretty bad. All the empty tables were dirty so we sat at one table to wait for our food. Waited 20minutes and decided to sit at another table that was dirty but cleaner than another table. We ended up cleaning it ourselves.

Amazing café. Great coffee and fantastic breakfast burritos for ~$ 10. I have searched all over the westside for the best breakfast burrito and this definitely ranks near the top.

I love this spot. The food is delicious, the staff is always friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. Creative menu and the care they take in selecting fresh and healthy ingredients is evident. Really a hidden gem!

Enjoy Guys breakfast item — SO good. I couldn’t believe it. Everything was just oozing with flavor.
Cappuccino — Solid yes.
Definitely coming back to this charming and surprise of a café.

Hands down, the best place for breakfast in Palms. Both vegetarians and omnivores are welcome!

By a stroke of GREAT fortune, we found this place on a Sunday morning while in line for a Starbucks, which we immediately left to come here.
This is a small, cute local eatery in Culver city that is very affordable AND it supports local farms. As we were waiting for our order, one of the baristas left to go to the Farmer’s Market down across the street to pick up more fresh lettuce! I mean, you can’t get more local than that!
The order:
Enjoy Guys: This breakfast burger is on my list as one of the top 3 breakfast burgers I have ever had! With every bite, I could taste how fresh the ingredients were! The patty was juicy and packed with flavor, but not the flavor that comes from an overdose of salt. This is what real beef tastes like. The burger was topped with the greenest avocados, crispy onions and the most perfect fried egg. My first bite into this bad boy and I was in heaven!
The Hangover Cure: A breakfast burrito with a fitting name. It comes loaded with all the fresh ingredients to fight off that churning stomach and annoying headache! It isn’t a massive burrito, but the ingredients are so good and so savory that it leaves you full and satisfied! Potatoes, beans, sausage, eggs and more! I don’t even like breakfast burritos but my mouth is watering just thinking of this one.
The service was a little slow, but I think it just seemed that way because we were running late and in a little bit of a rush. Everyone was so nice and they really tried to accommodate our short timeline.
If you are in the area, go eat here! Your taste buds will be so happy!

Delicious and affordable breakfast spot. We went on a Sunday and passed through the Farmer’s Market — overall a pleasant experience.
I kept it simple with their Eggsential Breakfast Sandwich with avocado (but you can get bacon, ham or sausage as well!) and was 100% satisfied.
Boyfriend got the Triple Decker which has bacon, sausage and ham stacked tall. May have been a little too much meat, but hey if that’s your thing — go for it!
Only downside was the coffee was just meh. Would pass on that next time.
All in all, I know this will be a regular breakfast joint for me. Breakfast lovers unite!

Cute café. Friendly staff. Stopped by on Saturday morning for breakfast. Decided to get the Chori Burro breakfast burrito. Now, I’m a huge fan of chorizo breakfast burritos, so I was salivating like Pavlov’s dogs! However, after receiving my burrito, I was unimpressed. The tortilla was burnt, way too much chili aioli, and not very tasty. It was palatable. Maybe I was turned off by the burnt shell.

I had their vegan porridge. The menu made it sound appetizing — whole oats, some fruit, nuts, and if you get it «leaded» it’ll come w/​coffee and cream.
Good right?
It had no flavor whatsoever. I had to put in 3 packets of sugar to make it edible, and even then I didn’t finish it — and I tend to stay away from adding sugar to my foods and drinks.
GF got a cinnamon roll. She said it was good.
Mocha coffee was good too.
Street parking is metered, or there’s a tight lot to park in. Can get crowded quickly.

Had the ENJOY GUYS burger… wow!
Grass fed beef. Brioche bun. Bacon. Organic egg. Provolone cheese. Avocado. Dijon aioli. Red onions.
Delish!
Their ketchup’s all natural.
My son loved his burger so much — he had two!
And we got to color in while we waited.
7 tables and breakfast bar seating. Great music. In a strip mall, so there’s parking.
Def coming back — thanks Unilocalers!
Oooh, went back following day for a Pork Belly Burrito — legit!

Went here with a friend to grab a bite to eat for brunch on a Sunday. Though the place was packed, we were able to order right away and find a table for two inside.
For our meal, we decided to split the BAM! and the chori burrito.
The BAM! had a lot of good ingredients in it, but I felt that it was a little too rich for my liking. The bread is cinnamon roll french toast with cream cheese – and it just proved to be a bit too cloyingly sweet – I only had half and I had a hard time finishing it.
The chori burrito was a nice alternative as it was pretty light, especially considering that it was a burrito. The chorizo and egg was good, but I felt that most of the burrito was actually full of cabbage – which provided a fresh bite, but not a lot of flavor.
After seeing it in the display, we also grabbed a chocolate cake bread pudding for the road and thought that it was decent, but nothing that blew us away.
Overall, I would give this place 3.5 stars, but am rounding up to 4 because of some of the innovative ideas on their menu. Though the food took some time to come out, the service was friendly and it was relatively easy to find a place to sit.

3 ½ rounded up. We came around 11 on a Sunday, and there was no wait. We ordered at the counter and found seating at one of the communal tables before moving over to a share
We got the PBR, avo toast (yes, I am basic), and granola. The bowl of granola was nothing special, just granola, fruit, and milk. The avocado toast came topped with arugula and some sort of cheese. It came on top of soft, grainy bread. It was a little bland, but that might have been intentional. There’s salt and pepper on the table, so you can season the toast yourself.
The PBR was a rich, flavorful sandwich. Pork belly came in juicy chunks. There was enough brie so you can taste it but not too much that it overpowers the pork belly. There were some cucumbers in the sandwich to give some contrast to the fatty Brie and pork belly, but it’s a heavy sandwich.

This place was adorable. It’s a small café filled with locals. And no, C&M literally stands for Chicken and Monkey.
Parking: super small lot with 30 minutes max for free. We were lucky and got parking, but otherwise its street.
Price: Under $ 10 for the most part!
Food: I got the most basic sandwich on the menu, which was okay. I didn’t really like it. But my friend got the scramblet (the hashbrown-​omellete) which was AMAZING. Hence, the 3 stars. The chili sauce they use is pretty good too, so I recommend almost anything with that.
Ambience: chill, trendy, local, but small.
Service: Super nice and helpful!
Will I come here again? Next time I’m in the area, definitely!

Wow!
My favourite word for when I find a hidden gem like this. I went to a coffee shop near by that was recommended to me and I was hungry. Had a bit of a stressful morning and was trying to find a healthy meal to get my morning started and voila this place caught my eye.
I’m happy I stopped by. From the way we were treated by the staff (super friendly) they were extremely helpful with all of my questions. Im new to this place and told the girl. She had lots of recommendations which I like. What a beautiful relief to have such motivated staff.
I ordered the AVO toast and I requested it on gluten free bread. I don’t eat dairy due to allergies so I removed it. It was perfect! Avocado, arugula and the most delightful flavor of truffle oil.
This café is so darling it has a great seating area and I think wifi but I could be wrong I am not certain.
I love art and they have beautiful art and photography on the walls.
I’m sure it could be hard to not know this place exists. It’s in a tiny shopping centre.
If you have gluten and dairy allergies they have many items for you to choose from.
I will definitely be going back again it was amazing.
5 stars all the way !!
I am a serious foodie and the quality of freshness was quite impressive.
Go check them out!

Ramblin’ round my neighborhood, I spied this subdued-​sign in the distance that read: C&M Café. Having just had another bummer experience at another local café, I wandered in. Right away, I was impressed. It was mid afternoon, and many patrons were chatting gently, while the hostess jaunted awesome looking dishes onto the floor and lavished them upon the various diners.
I ordered the Motor Market Marvel salad, and got a bottle of Kombucha. The total was around $ 16, largely due to the price of the drink ($ 5.75 or something?). This was okay, as I’m aware of the inverse logic of salad pricing.
The salad featured greens and berries grown locally, and came complimented with a few onions, sunflower seeds, and blue cheese crumbles. The dressing tasted like sesame tahini, but I didn’t check. It was huge! It came on a quarter sheet aluminum platter… and wayyyyy represented it’s value.
For salads, this represents 2016’s best so far. Way to go C&M! I’ll be seeing you regularly.
Oh, it’s pet friendly too! I see dog/​possum/​armadillo bowls outside!

You can easily miss this small casual eatery if you weren’t looking for it. It’s located in a strip mall off of Motor Ave with ample parking.
I ordered the oatmeal and wasn’t expecting anything amazing, but I will say that this is the BEST oatmeal that I’ve ever had. It was so good!
He had a breakfast sandwich and devoured it as well.
The space itself is rather small with only a few tables at the entrance. This may not be an issue as the space doesn’t feel like you should hang out.
Great for a quick bite to eat on the weekend.
Enjoy.

Cute little breakfast/​lunch sandwich café. Came after breakfast for a light lunch. We ordered the Avo Toast which was their veggie sandwich with avocado, cheese, arugula, and truffle oil.
The sandwich was fine, nothing any more special than what I can make at home but it was very good. The toast is nice and thick and tasted very hearty (in a good way).
My brother-​in-​law ordered their grilled cheese that I immediately skipped over as I refuse to pay someone to make a grilled cheese sandwich for me but I was rather impressed with the sandwich. It is clearly their specialty because it was much more than a cheese sandwich… like veggies and different types of cheeses, and a few other people ordered the same thing. Next time I will give it a try!

I’m lucky to have this cute little spot within walking distance of my apartment. I put off coming here for way too long, because the BAM! is mind-​blowing. I loved the combination of sweet & cinnamony french toast, savory sausage with a hint of spice, hearty bacon, and comforting fried egg. I didn’t like the cream cheese inside (made the sandwich too rich so I scraped it out). The maple syrup on the side wasn’t necessary; the balance was just right on its own! The ingredient list sounds crazy, I know, but the combination is greater than the sum of its parts.
My husband also really enjoyed his chorizo burrito, which had a fresh slaw inside to counter the rich and spicy chorizo. His drip coffee was very good as well — I’m not really a coffee drinker, but I thought it tasted quite smooth and nice without any burnt or bitter notes.
We liked our food so much that we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Downgraded for the following reasons:
1) Noisy: Due mostly to a noisy A/​C. I don’t remember this noisy A/​C during my past few visits. But last weekend, the place was kinda full, so with people chatting and the music, then add the noisy A/​C – too much.
2) Pricey Orange Juice: Their 12-​oz orange juice is $ 7. They say it’s hand-​squeezed. I suggest they do it with a machine. Why go back to the pre-​industrial age? It’ll just be more costly and time consuming.
3) Salad’s Dressing on the Side: I requested this for my side salad. They did not do this. And at first, it seemed that my salad did not have much dressing anyway so I just let it go. But when I ate my salad, turned out the dressing was underneath and it spilled on my lap. (And just my luck, it was one of the few times that I did not put a napkin on my lap.)
4) This is a self-​service place (counter service). Yet they ask for a 15%-20% tip. The cashier would turn the cash register’s monitor toward you so that you can press how much tip you’re giving. I could tell the cashier was embarrassed because he turned his face away from me when he faced the monitor towards me for the tip. I’d be embarrassed too.
But for all it’s worth, the staff are nice and their Eggsential B’fast Sandwich is good (a sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheese). And that OJ is delicious.
