Brunch In LA At Superba

I had heard about Superba, a somewhat new restaurant in LA for some time, but had never had the chance to go there.  I was there in December on a Sunday, around 12:30pm, so we could have had breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

I opted for lunch, my mom had breakfast.  Everything was delicious.  I had the prosciutto tartine.  Two wedges of delicious artisan bread topped with a generous portion of sliced prosciutto, arugula and olive oil.  That's all it was, but it was so good.  My mom went for the huge (about 8 inches in diameter) many grain pancake with real maple syrup and butter.  She loved it.  Other delicious choices included kale toast (sunny eggs, avocado, kale and chili oil) and avocado toast (smashed avocado with seasonings and tomatoes), all the rage in Los Angeles.  Cheesy eggs, marbled eggs, ham and cheese quiche and croque madame were also on the menu.  The lunch items included numerous salads, quiches, a burger and a fried chicken sandwich.

Superba also has a coffee bar.  Some people come in just to order coffee drinks, but those that are dining at Superba also order from the coffee bar.  It's bustling, and the coffee is great.  They have a bakery as well, with wonderful looking bread, croissants, tarts, cakes and bars.  We did not indulge, but everything looked great.

Juice drinks are also popular at Superba.  They offer a red juice (beets and several other veggies), a green drink (spinach, kale, and other veggies). and some fruit drinks.  Everyone seemed to be drinking some kind of juice, so I can only surmise that they're good.

Superba is located on Lincoln Blvd in what looks to be an old warehouse.  They have another location on Sepulveda Blvd in El Segundo.  The food is fresh, interesting, and delicious.  There was a very young crowd of customers.  We were the oldest people in the restaurant by far.  Most customers were in their 20's, 30's and 40's.  If you're in the Marina area of LA, give this place a try for breakfast or lunch.  Lots of interesting choices, all served by friendly staff.  Try it.
