Salt's Cure

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.

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.

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.

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!

I want to come back here just so I can try more of their griddle cakes. They have an almost caramelized flavor, perfectly sweet and a rich buttery flavor, you actually don't need syrup to enjoy them. The scrambled eggs are a texture that I know many chefs struggle to attain. The coffee is good, but the most important thing is that there is something to enjoy about everything you order for your plate.

A delightful fast-casual breakfast experience that is best described as scrumptious and wallet friendly at this charming spot. This breakfast adventure entails delicious oatmeal griddle cakes that left my belly full of contentment and my mind eagerly plotting my next return. Fluffy goodness with a touch of crispy edges, served as a stack of three with syrupy sweetness. I opted for the classic OG and chocolate chip. The OG is crowned with cinnamon molasses butter, an alliance that's bound to win your affection, while the chocolate chip houses the richness of chocolate with the comfort of familiar flavors. The chicken sausage was succulent, boasting tenderness and a medley of spices as a satisfying counterpoint to the sweetness of the griddle cakes. The option of vegan and gluten-free alternatives do not compromise taste, a testament to their mastery of the griddle. These griddlecakes are here to whisk you away and leave you smiling from ear to ear, a heartfelt ode to the definition of morning sustenance.

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.

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!
