Macrobiotic fare from Gwyneth Paltrow's former personal chef, Lee Gross
Restaurant, Grocery/Bakery/Deli
M Cafe does not serve any dishes prepared with refined sugars, eggs, dairy, red meat or poultry, and all of their desserts are vegan. They do serve fish, so the menu is not entirely vegan.
They offer a standard menu, and also a wide selection of deli items that are freshly prepared and change daily.

I would rate M. Cafe 4 1/2 stars. I've eaten at both the Melrose and Culver City locations, and found the food to be consistent and equally tasty in both locations.
Probably my favorite thing to eat at M. Cafe is dessert -- the chocolate sacher torte to be specific. It's very chocolatey and has a fresh raspberry filling. Other foods I have enjoyed at M. Cafe include all three of the paninis, the melorse avenue muffaletta, the wasabi sweet potato salad, the sesame soba noodles, and the shiitake-avocado sushi roll. I was less keen on the squash soup and the banana millefeuille, but even these were not bad. For LA, the place isn't too expensive, so I recommend it pretty highly.

Macrobiotic food that is bursting with flavor. The Kale in peanut sauce is one of my favorite dishes in LA.
