The Oaks Gourmet Market & Cafe - Los Angeles, California

Leonard Mayorquin

UPDATE: So, after a not so great first experience, we decided to give this neighborhood joint a second chance.
We ordered the exact same thing as the first time (minus the fries, just weren't craving them this time) as we thought that was the best way to give them a second chance. Plus, I was craving a juicy burger.
This time they knocked it out of the park. The Oaks burger was juicy, pink and delicious, just as a good burger should be. I paired it with a Czech Pilsner from their great selection of beers, wines and spirits. My gf got the Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque once again and it was absolutely perfect. Wonderfully toasty with a gooey and stretchy cheese center. Just plain drool worthy. She paired that with an original formula Dr. Pepper which was great. They also have a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

Definitely will be stopping by again on our walks.

This time I also walked away with some Gnocchi, which I'll be cooking up for dinner soon.

Anyways, glad we gave them a second change.

Walked in and couldn't figure out where to order. There was more staff there than customers, yet nobody greeted us or even acknowledged our existence. Whatever, eventually someone noticed us and took out order. The dry aged burger, fries and a grilled cheese. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our order, even thought there was practically nobody there. Can't even imagine how bad it is when there are a ton of people there, like I see when I walk my dog past this place daily.
So, we finally get our food and what a disappointment it was. The fries were COLD! Who has the audacity to serve cold fries?! Especially for $5. Get home and they sure put the DRY in dry aged. The burger was closer to cold than warm, even though we live 4 blocks away and drove. It had a decent taste but was way over cooked. The grilled cheese was also closer to cold, and it wasn't barely toasted. The tomato bisque was only warm in the middle.

Was hoping this would be a go to spot in the new neighborhood. But, it just turned into a HUGE disappointment.

Love this spot! Best part is the service. The person who took our order, Reilly, was very welcoming and helped us with our order even though we had some special requests. Food was great too. We will definitely be back!

Simply the best little gourmet market in Hollywood! I just love the selection of pantry items and pastries! They have a great selection of meats & cheeses & crackers. I ordered a charcuterie board for a small get together and it was a work of art! I couldn’t believe how much food was on it. I shopped around and there’s was the best hands down! It was so pretty we almost didn’t want to eat it… almost! It was the perfect amount for our party. Thank you so much Oaks. I wasn’t even aware that they did these until I went into the store and spoke with one of their staff, Robert. He was so accommodating and friendly. They were able to make the platter the same day. I couldn’t have been more pleased! I love this place!

I came here after hearing so much about their infamous grilled cheese. I don’t know if it was an off day or what but the cheese in the sandwich hadn’t even melted down despite there being such thick layers of cheese & the bread had a stale taste. I felt sick after a couple bites so I was definitely a little disappointed. That said, the staff was really nice & I liked the vibe of the store part itself.

Really cool spot with plenty of food, drink, and coffee options. Large selection of beers and canned mixed drinks to choose from. Got the banh mi which was really tasty. They used a soft bread instead of the traditional hard baguette that I think was a nice twist to the classic ingredients. Would absolutely return. Plenty of outdoor seating

Wine selection is interesting. Market is pricy, but cool stuff is offered.
Sandwiches are a not for me, bread wasn’t fresh and the fries were not crispy. Pastries look better than they taste.
Will not be coming back…

The absolute BEST place in Franklin Village/Hollywood. Not only is everything tasty and freshly made, the staff is out of this world incredible. The staff & specifically owner, always make me feel welcome and ensure I’m taken care of. I come here weekly for their hospitality!

Good Burgers, but way over-priced !! They have high-top chairs that face a window & you can also charge your phone. You can also shop for a limited amount of groceries and wine etc if you are interested.

I ordered the The Dry Aged Burger which was above average, but way over priced !! Staff is friendly.
