The dish that made Sqirl famous. It features a massive, buttery slice of toasted brioche from Bub and Grandma's, spread with a thick layer of creamy house-made ricotta and topped with their signature seasonal preserves (like Shiro plum or blackberry).
Tips from diners
The 'rainbow' option lets you try three different jams at once. It's the best way to sample their incredible preserves.
A surprisingly flavorful and textured bowl. The sorrel pesto provides a bright, lemony punch that's balanced by the earthy brown rice, creamy feta, and a perfectly runny poached egg. It's the quintessential healthy LA lunch.
Tips from diners
Add the house-made hot sauce for a little extra kick. It pairs beautifully with the preserved lemon.
Sqirl takes their coffee as seriously as their food. They work with local roasters to provide a rotating selection of high-quality beans, served in a variety of styles from classic drip to refined espresso drinks.
Tips from diners
Their lattes are excellent and use high-quality oat milk if that's your preference. It's the perfect companion to the ricotta toast.
A unique take on the classic pancake. It's thin and slightly nutty from the buckwheat, with subtle notes of turmeric and a bit of crunch from the cocoa nibs, served with plenty of butter and maple syrup.
Tips from diners
It's quite large but very light. It's a great choice if you want something sweet but not overly heavy.
A textural masterpiece. The rice is fried until crispy and tossed with a bright, aromatic dressing and plenty of fresh herbs. It's refreshing, crunchy, and punchy all at once.
Tips from diners
This is one of the more textured dishes on the menu. The lemongrass flavor is really prominent and refreshing.
