I absolutely love this place! The owner and staff are always welcoming and friendly. They've introduced new items, and the schnitzel mushroom sauce with fries is a must-try - it's super delicious! The portion was generous, and I couldn't finish it. The Chicken Alfredo Penne is also a winner! With a homemade taste that's hard to resist. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Absolutely loved the food at World Cafe! The sandwich was a 10/10 and the burger was a solid 9. The fries were also delicious! The workers were incredibly nice! The outdoor seating had a heater and music playing and it felt incredibly cozy to be here. Definitely would come back! Especially because they told us they're adding way more options to their menu soon! Can't wait to try more :)

I can't believe I found this Hidden GEM . You probably drove right by this precious hole in the wall countless times unnoticed . Place feels like They made me feel welcomed. Service was great wholesome attitude. I purchased 2x Philly Cheesesteak sandwich COMBO, $20 flat each. Which is more than fair for a 12 inch sandwich fries and a can soda . As I was paying I ran into the kind owner/chef , ‍ who by the way he spoke, you can sense his genuine love and enthusiasm for the food he makes and sells, as he introduced his new menu items. He said , They have Alfredo pasta now ( I wish he had a pink sauce, because the creamy and acidity of the marinara for me is *chefs kiss * hint hint wink wink ) lol . He also mentioned " Kabob bites" I was in a rush so I didn't get to ask what that was. I am eager go find out. You can taste the fresh, high quality ingredients that was used, along with the care that was put forth when preparing and made . Very clean, natural, high quality beef, not oily, perfectly salted and seasoned! The bread was soft and has just the right amount of elasticity , for lack of better description. They either make it themselves or gets it fresh daily or got it from a local bakery ‍ . Breads thickness created the perfect meat to cheese and veggie ratio. . The sauce really brightens up and takes Philly Cheesesteak and takes it to another level. The Philly was too good as you can see in this photo! We couldn't even wait to take a good photo! I would ask for more sauce on the side next time, it perfectly balanced , straight up harmony so fire ! If you, like myself is starting to feel the food you consume due to age . lol you will really appreciate the mastery in these crafted sandwiches from this joint! I can't wait to try their other menu items, Money well spent , totally % worth it. Hands down the BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK sandwich I have ever had. WELL 5 STARS

I worked on brand in Glendale for many years and it wasn't until an Armenian coworker recommended this place that I even know it existed. The food is perfect , it's as simple as that. It's just now with its soaring popularity it's hard to find a place to eat there. The moment they expand a bit it'll be a five star staple

Food was great (massive serving for what you pay). I had the burger and it did not disappoint. If you are anywhere near LA, I'd suggest taking a quick drive to try the food. Small business with quality ingredients and hometown feeling service. I'm from the Bay Area, and when I come next, I'll be sure to visit.
