Crossroads Kitchen - Melrose

"Crossroads Kitchen is selling vegan viennosserie on the first Saturday of every month starting at 10 a.m. from its West Hollywood restaurant. The Crossroads Sweet Stop pastry pop-up features croissants, macarons, banana pudding, and whole apple pies to-go, along with coffee drinks." - Cathy Chaplin

"Celebrity: Travis Barker Crossroads Kitchen in West Hollywood is a vegan restaurant that ironically feels like a fancy steakhouse. It's also a place that swears it will change how you feel about plant-based food with its ability to create "beef short rib" out of eggplant, but it mostly falls short on that front. Crossroads (which is backed by Blink-182 drummer and Kardashian spouse Travis Barker) is just OK, with some dishes being tastier than others. The baby beet salad with salty vegan feta and artichoke oysters with kelp caviar are fairly tasty, but the campanelle pasta with Italian "sausage" is flavorless, sloshing in a watery sauce that fails to stick to the noodles. It also doesn't help that this Weho spot is quite pricey." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder

"Crossroads is one of our favorite all-vegetarian restaurants in the city with separate brunch, lunch, and dinner menus that feature everything from stuffed French toast to spicy meatball pizza. They’re also doing a separate taco menu right now on weekdays from 11am to 3:30pm. Available for both takeout and delivery." - brant cox

"Crossroads Kitchen is one of those vegan restaurants where you can take your meat-eating friends and they won’t gripe about it. Since the Mediterranean restaurant already caters to folks on a plant-based diet, it’s also great about accommodating those who are GF, too, with many swappable options on its menu like pasta, pizza, and a must-order GF mushroom calamari appetizer. Their classy dining room with red leather booths and dangling light bulb chandeliers feels like an upscale place that serves high-end steak and it’s such a popular spot with celebrities that you might get a sighting or two at its West Hollywood or Calabasas location." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder

"Ah, Crossroads. This upscale spot in West Hollywood is like the gateway drug of the vegan world - either you’ve taken your non-vegan friends here, or you were once brought here by a plant-based pal. It’s because Crossroads is an easy, non-controversial choice - the menu is solid (and more importantly, recognizable), featuring pizzas, salads, and starters like gluten-free zucchini blossoms. Available for takeout and delivery." - kat hong
