Kitchen Mouse, 4503 N Figueroa St., Los Angeles (Montecito Heights), CA 90065

Kitchen Mouse has expanded again, with a cute walk-up coffee & bakery spot in Montecito Heights (near Mount Washington and south Highland Park). There is a small kitchen, so you can also order off a limited menu: vegan breakfast sandwich, vegan waffles, bagel sandwiches, and fancy toasts. The pastry case had two shelves of gluten-free pastries (muffins, brownies, cookies, scones, cakes) and two shelves of pastries with gluten (vegan bagels, vegan croissants, danish). There’s also drip coffee, cold brew, espresso drinks, tea, and hot chocolate.

Order at the window and pay first. Prices are on the higher side but they do make their own pastries and their own schmears, and offer lots of gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and even nut-free options.

Buckwheat waffle, vegan, gluten-free ($9) with Earl Grey whip ($1.50): A thick, Belgian style waffle with vegan butter and real maple syrup. Excellent – I didn’t miss the gluten. The buckwheat waffle (made with buckwheat, oat, corn flour and flax, maple & coconut oil) has a nutty flavor and the waffle was moist with crisp edges. They provided plenty of vegan Earl Grey whip which did taste like Earl Grey and wasn’t too sweet. The waffle took about 15 minutes and they weren’t busy.

Cappuccino ($5): No foam art, strong and very bitter, wouldn’t get again

This is meant to be a takeout spot though there are three outdoor picnic tables (shared with Taco Fiesta?). They also sell some KM merch and coffee beans. They have their own coffee roast (Ethiopian). Parking was easy to find in the strip mall.

This one has been on my shortlist for a while. I just thought it sounded like so much fun, perfect for a little family dinner.

I doubled it, as it wasn't clear how much it made and only a cup of dry chickpeas didn't seem like a lot to me. I admittedly forgot about soaking the chickpeas until midday, so they didn't get quite the amount of time they needed. As a result, the texture was a little off, a little more chunky and chewy than I would have liked, but I suppose it could have been worse.

I don't use a waffle iron very often, so I was a little nervous about the cooking process, but it actually worked out beautifully. My first go was admittedly a crumbly loss, but from there, I had a much easier time of it. Because our waffle iron must be much bigger than the one the recipe author has, I actually chose to add a 1/4 cup scoop to each corner. I had the room and it helped speed this process along.

I served with spinach, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, hummus, a lemon tahini dressing, and the harissa yogurt sauce from my favorite salad recipe.

Had the chickpeas had more time to soak, this would have actually turned out perfectly. The flavor and texture were great, beautifully crisped and browned and even more delicious slathered with multiple sauces and toppings. If you're looking for a fun, impressive, customizable dinner, this is a great pick.
