Best Brunch Spots in Larchmont Village
Larchmont Boulevard on a Sunday morning is one of those LA experiences that actually lives up to the hype. Tree-lined, walkable, no valet required. The kind of street where people linger. Here's where to eat, drink, and caffeinate your way through brunch in the neighborhood.
Girasole · 225 N Larchmont Blvd
This is the sit-down brunch spot the neighborhood rallies around. Italian-leaning, warm inside, with a patio that catches the morning light just right. Order the eggs, get a cocktail, stay longer than you planned. They take reservations, which you'll want on weekends. Rated 4.5★ and beloved for good reason.
Louise's Trattoria · 232 N Larchmont Blvd
Right across the street from Girasole and equally worthy. Louise's has been a Larchmont staple for decades, the kind of place regulars treat like their own dining room. Patio seating, brunch cocktails, and a comfortable Italian-American menu that doesn't overthink itself. Good for groups. Also takes reservations.
Café Midi · 148 N Larchmont Blvd
If you want something lighter and more café-style, Café Midi is your spot. Espresso drinks, cappuccinos, cortados, all done well. The vibe is relaxed European. Grab a table, open your book, nobody's rushing you. Rated 4.6★ and priced fairly for what it is.
Larchmont Village Farmers Market · Larchmont Blvd, Sundays
Technically not a restaurant, but absolutely part of brunch here. The Sunday farmers market runs along Larchmont Boulevard and draws some of the best regional produce vendors and artisan bakers in the city. Grab fresh pastries, a coffee, and walk the boulevard before it gets crowded. It's free, it's local, and it sets the whole tone for the morning.
Kreation Organic Juicery · 121 N Larchmont Blvd
For the lighter-appetite crowd or anyone who wants something clean after a big Saturday night. Kreation does cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and organic bowls. There's patio seating and it's a good spot to ease into the day. Rated 4.6★.
Peet's Coffee · 124 N Larchmont Blvd
Sometimes you just want a reliable coffee and a place to sit outside. Peet's on Larchmont has a patio and solid espresso. It's a local gathering point, you'll see dog walkers, families, people with laptops. Nothing fancy, just good and consistent. Rated 4.6★.
Republique · 624 S La Brea Ave
Slightly outside the boulevard but close enough to count, and too good to leave off. Republique's weekend brunch is genuinely one of the best in the city. The space is stunning (it's a converted 1929 Chaplin building), the pastries are exceptional, and the savory dishes are serious. Expect a wait or book ahead. Rated 4.5★. Worth every minute.
A few practical notes
Street parking on Larchmont fills up by 10am on Sundays. Come early or park a block or two off the boulevard on the side streets, there's usually space on Rosewood or Clinton. The farmers market closes by early afternoon, so don't sleep on it. And if you finish brunch with room for something sweet, Salt & Straw is right there at 240 N Larchmont Blvd. Yes, ice cream after brunch is allowed. This is LA.
