Forage

Stopped by Forage while I was in California for outreach work and ended up having such a good breakfast with my parents, my little bro, and my nephew. The vibe is just right — laid-back, welcoming, and a great spot to hang out and actually enjoy your time. It felt good to slow down for a bit after a few busy work days. Food was on point. The ricotta pancakes are a must — super fluffy and not overly sweet. And the chilaquiles were packed with flavor. Definitely get those. And of course, the coffee selection is solid. You can tell they care about what they’re serving, which I always appreciate. Overall, great atmosphere, tasty food, and quality coffee. Even better when you get to share it with family. Would definitely go back.

I had this place bookmarked for a while and I finally got to try it a few months ago. The menu isn't extensive, but they have great options. Healthy choices, meaty choices, veggie options and plenty to satisfy any sweet tooth. I ordered roasted chicken with two veggie sides and it was delicious. Good portions. My wife split a breakfast burrito with our older daughter and she exclaimed it was the "cleanest" burrito she's ever had that was still delicious. The avocado toast looked amazing and a simple egg sandwich for our youngest who devoured it in no time. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy. The design is that of being inside a very comfortable hillside home. You get the feeling your in a cottage and since it sits on the 2nd floor, your view isn't of the busy street below. There

Forage is an amazing place to dine, in a beautiful outdoor (and indoor) environment. I got the steak plate with two sides (potatoes and the kale arugula salad). It was delicious. Though the steak was small in portion, it was succulent and had a beautiful chimichuri sauce to brighten it. The potatoes had an aromatic garlic topping that made a heavy dish light. The salad was well dressed and had goat cheese to add richness. It’s been a decade since I’ve last been to Forage. The quality is still impeccable. Would recommend for lunch and would come back again. Only issue is finding parking (street parking) and it is not easily accessible for those with mobility needs.

Amazing food, and great service, every time we come. The patio out back is a great place to chill with friends. And the last time I was here, I left something behind. Nothing really valuable, but important to me, and when I came back later the crew, Melissa in particular, moved heaven and earth to find it for me, cementing my love for this local gem.

The food was so delicious. The portion of the steak was small but ok. The kale salad could have used more dressing. Overall it was light and nice.
