Dinette

"Dinette, Echo Park. This unexpected sidewalk cafe framed in a deep blue, sparkles amidst the adjacent storefronts on this bustling stretch of Sunset Blvd. Metal chairs and tables are sprinkled beneath the storefront’s awning. The pretty French and American pastries displayed in the walk-up window will no doubt tempt your sweet tooth. If you’re in a savory mood, the eggs on toast, mini quiches, and avocado toast are just a few of the gems on the menu. If you’re feeling somewhere in-between, go for the waffles which are topped with bacon and a poached egg, or choose from a fun selection of sandwiches and salads. Fancy espresso and coffee to boot."

"Kantner also owns Dinette in Echo Park, and has for years been working on an expansion there, as well as a separate restaurant in the back." - Farley Elliott

"Dinette is still planning to expand to a full marketplace soon." - Farley Elliott

"Echo Park’s diminutive walk-up spot Dinette is about to get a whole lot bigger. The casual sidewalk cafe — which was apparently one of the original Orange Julius locations in Los Angeles back in the day — is expanding into the long-gone E*Pack Family Clothing Store space, and judging by the look of things the space could be functional as soon as next month." - Farley Elliott
