    Breakfast by Salts Cure is another staple breakfast cafe on the corner of Santa Monica and Vista! It’s much more quiet away from the bustle of West Hollywood streets. Parking is side parking and paid for so far that I’ve noticed. There is neighboring business as well. Staff is friendly and welcoming the cafe is beautiful and quaint inside with only two tables dining outside. Staff was also knowledgeable and sold us on the well know oatmeal griddle cakes aka pancakes which were very delicious made out of complete oats. Coffee was good as is, and the sides we’re not as many but good choices. Definitely want to come back and try other things!

    I really don't get the so called 'hype' about this place. Service is slow, atmosphere no different to Starbucks and the food is really not all that special at all. The griddled cakes were the only saving grace which I would give a strong 4 stars for. The eggs were average at best, the potatoes were undercooked and hard and coffee mediocre. All those waxing lyrical about it being so good need to eat out more. Do I recommend going? NO Will I go again? NO (unless I want griddle cakes) Was it good value? NO Price point: $$

    I think this place is cute and the portions are filling despite the size they look. They have nice seasonal combos/let you mix banana and chocolate as a combo and the pancakes are gluten free. I think the sides are rather overpriced as they price them all the same which is not really sensible 2 eggs being $5 does not make sense and the tea selection is truly lacking if you’re not a coffee drinker. They don’t even have a black tea… and I’d literally never heard of the green tea they have. The service is friendly and fast, so overall I would come by again.

    Really good pancakes that were full of fresh fruit and flavor. You order and then take your number to an open table. Their food is fresh, well presented, and has great texture. The pancakes didn't come with syrup, but it wasn't needed. The butter, toppings, powdered sugar and fruit made them moist and sweet enough. Will definitely eat here again.

    OG Oatmeal Griddle Cakes / 5 🌟! Pork Sausage / 5 🌟! Over Easy Eggs / 5 🌟! The word on the street I had heard before visiting Breakfast By Salt's Cure was that they had amazing pancakes, so when I stopped recently, that was what I had to try. The internet community is right. They are awesome. I think it's fairly rare to have oats based pancakes, or if it isn't rare, I never notice them on menus. They have great texture, flavor, and are definitely worth trying out. I had the OG, but the menu includes some fun, flavor combinations if you want to liven up your oatcakes. I wanted to have a breakfast platter kind of meal, so I also tried out their pork sausage and eggs. Everything came out hot, fresh, full of flavor, and not too long after I ordered from their counter register. They have a cozy dining space and are quite busy during their breakfast brunch hours. I would recommend street parking, which was easy to find.

    Oatmeal pancakes are to die for. I asked for walnuts on top and they were kind enough to also add some coconut flakes and powdered sugar. Pancakes are extremely moist and just the right amount of Sweetness. Will definitely be returning soon!

    Really enjoyed the breakfast sandy with pork sausage. The meat is flavorful and juicy, and it’s served with hot salsa. Also got a side stack of the OG hotcakes and potato fries. Highly recommend if you also have a sweet tooth!

    Delicious and the pancakes are a must try! Very enjoyable breakfast and perfect if in the mood for something quick and cute.

    Came here hungry for brunch and curious about their griddle cakes. I got a breakfast sandwich, which was fine but nothing particularly special, and a single griddle cake, which was really cool. If I had it to do over again I'd just get an order of griddle cakes. They are thin in some areas, with oats to add some chewiness which leads to this wild mix of textures that I thought was really neat. So, basically, stick with their specialty! Guys working the counter and the griddle were quick and friendly.

    Big fan of this spot! The pancakes are really incredible — very thin tasty cakes served with butter and powdered sugar. The sides are a little pricy for what they are, but all in all one of the more affordable breakfast/brunch spots in the area. You can use their sides menu to “build your own” entree — some combination of a stack of (or single) cakes, eggs, toast, potatoes, etc. You order at the counter and wait for your food to come up, which for us was pretty quick. Will definitely be by again!

    Their pancake is unique. It is not the usual thick and fluffy kind. It is somewhere between a pancake and crepe for me. It is so soft and delicious. Since it is a open kitchen, you will smell like breakfast food, but that is a good thing here. It is one of those places that you just come without thinking much when you want to have some good breakfast that your local diner doesn’t have. The menus is very simple. Pancakes, eggs, sausages and some sides. That’s all, but I never want anything more than their pancakes (banana nut!!), sausage patties, and egg. It is the best breakfast place for me!

    I do not know what the hell the low reviews are. Ridiculous to disparage a restaurant in LA for their parking situation. Anyway. The food was amazing. Oat cakes and soft scramble. While admittedly the scramble could have been a bit more runny I truly enjoyed every single bite of this meal. The cakes were absolutely delightful. The service was delightful. The restaurant is delightful. Read no further and trust no negative review. I will be slowly working my way through this menu over the next several months.

    The OG pancakes are amazing, the molasses butter is the difference maker here. The pork sausage is also incredible…clearly house made and some good seasoning in the mix. YOU DON’T NEED SYRUP FOR THESE PANCAKES. We came late morning on a weekday…service was quick and it wasn’t busy. I imagine that it’s a very different situation on weekends and peak times. Be prepared to wait during busy periods. Dropped one star because $4 coffee was a put off…especially when it was mass produced, diner level coffee.

    Best pancakes I’ve ever had. We came with a group so we tried 1 of everything! My favorite was the og pancake and the banana pancake. The og was sweet and had hints of cinnamon and peanut butter. The banana was the best banana pancake I have ever had. The pancakes don’t feel heavy and you don’t leave feeling super full which I loved. We also ordered the sausage and it was cooked so amazing, they made it crispy and golden, absolutely love. The avocado was so simple but nice in between bites of the pancakes. My mom ordered gluten free pancakes and they were also amazing. We honestly couldn’t even tell the difference between regular and gluten free and that’s what we want in gluten free options. Can’t wait to come back!

    Overall a very tasty brunch, but it’s important to know a few things before going. As mentioned the food is very good flavor wise and the location itself is prime. They don’t have a parking lot so it will be street parking only, but luckily the streets perpendicular to it have a lot of available spaces and did so for our Sunday morning brunch. I also like the fact that you order at the counter and then they bring the food over to you. Makes it nice after you finish your meal than you can immediately head out. There are a few downsides to note. As many other reviews mention the service speed is extremely slow because they only have 2 cooks and a small griddle. It will take quite awhile for your food to arrive so this is not the sort of place to go when you have time commitments after. Also the menu is fairly small and doesn’t have any complex dishes like Eggs Benedict so pancakes or breakfast sandwiches will be your options. The size of the items is also a bit small compared to a lot of other breakfast places so I wouldn’t choose this location if I wanted a large of extra filling meal. Finally the restaurant itself is very crowded. The tables are very close together and when busy you have two squeeze between the those sitting at the counter and those sitting at the half booths. Inside spots may not be available depending on the time due to the limited amount of seating options. For our meal we chose the OG Pancakes, Pork Sausage side, and the Breakfast Sandwich. The pancakes are griddle style thin pancakes and aren’t very big or fluffy size wise, but they give you a stack of three. The OG is very tasty, but also very sweet so you must be in the mood for the sweetness. The sausage was very good and came in the form of a patty. The Sandwich was flavorful, but a bit small in size and would be even better if avocado was added. Overall a really nice breakfast or brunch option albeit with limited menu options and a claustrophobic indoor dining area. I would recommend, but with some minor reservations.
