    Croft Alley

    Beverly Hills, CA, USA

    Croft Alley is one of those special places that you have to search to find. Their unique ingredients, bright, delicious flavors, welcoming staff and cozy quarters makes this place a stand-out gem in Beverly Hills Founded in 2014, Croft Alley is a welcoming cafe that feels less like a restaurant and more like a friend's house. Every item is sure to be delicious and gorgeously presented using only the freshest ingredients. There is a bit of an Asian bent on some of the dishes, using ingredients like fish sauce and rice noodles. Whatever you do, DO NOT MISS the chlorophyll yogurt-- made in house, this is the best yogurt dish you've ever tried! The chloraphyll adds a beautiful green color and earthiness, balancing out the sweetness of the yogurt and berries. We would like to eat this every day. The space is on Brighton Way in the heart of Beverly Hills, with NO SIGN, so keep your eye out for it. The cozy interior encourages intimate communal seating as well as interaction with the lovely staff that interact warmly with everyone who comes in. This is the perfect breakfast/lunch spot in Beverly Hills, even more special for a Special Event. We offer indoor as well as outdoor seating. Croft Alley is truly unlike any other experience in LA. And don't miss out on their freshly baked cookies for a sweet treat!
