Los Angeles, CA - Caffe Latte; This cafe/restaurant is extremely conveniently located across the street
 from the Wilshire Hotel where I was staying. It opens early enough for 
me to grab a full breakfast before I head to work. Don't let the name 
fool you into it being just a cafe, it has a full menu with some nice 
items on it.
Your breakfast, even if its a carb-fest, will start 
with their Complimentary Poppy seed Muffin. It's a nice way to welcome 
you in, start satisfying that burning desire to eat. Each day, it was 
fresh and soft. It's just a poppy seed, not a lemon poppy seed. Don't get 
your hopes up.
Their Breakfast Sandwich, which has scrambled 
eggs, bacon, pico se gallo, avocado, grilled spinach, jack cheese, and 
mayo are really nice ingredients. They all work together for a nice 
blend of flavors. However, the combination screams to be tucked in 
between some fresh bread made that morning. What you get is two basic 
pieces of toast. Not too exciting.
The Breakfast Burrito is one 
mamma jamma. it includes eggs, spinach, apple chicken sausage, avocado, 
swiss cheese, and pico de gallo. You cant squeeze in anymore ingredients
 because the tortilla shell couldn't fit it. This is a full size burrito
 that will keep you full throughout the day. The nice addition to this 
is the chicken sausage. It needed that slight touch of oil, spice, and 
protein to heighten its full effect.
Their best was for last, 
their Latte Eggs Benedict. I would certainly get this one again. It's 
not the typical benedict, it's nice to see some originality. I enjoyed 
the toast underneath instead of the standard muffin. The fresh spinach, 
some would say is why are you trying to dress it up as a healthy dish or
 trying to squeeze veggies where they don't belong. I on the other hand 
like to have the inclusion of the veggies and welcome it to be slightly 
healthier. The spinach does give it a bit more earthy touch and all most
 makes it a bit "lighter".
The staff was always really nice and when you're the first in there, the place is pretty quiet.
