Not gonna find THIS at the supermarket!

Just another reason to support your local farmers. These gorgeous, thumb sized blackberries come to us from J. G. Farms and are as delicious as they are impressive.

Just… wow 🤩
We’re soooooo lucky….

Come visit soon!

New brunch dish today!

We sold out of Yesterdays special so fast we decided we should create something new for you!

Jimenez Farms has amazing yellow zucchini, so we focused on those for today’s special.

Zucchini fritters with dill and fresh mint, danish feta and Munak Ranch celebrity tomatoes. Add an organic sunny egg and viola! A light fresh seasonal brunch with all of our favorites 🙂

Hope we get to see you soon, and thank you as always for your amazing support!

Meet Smorgastarta! A Swedish tradition, think of a savory layered seafood torta with wild Oregon Bay shrimp, our signature egg salad and smoked Irish salmon layered with our three day sourdough! Amazing…
available this weekend (while supplies last). Come try something new and wonderful!

Support for Ukraine- Join us!

July 28th, Open Face Food Shop and HYA West Adams is honored to host our second live performance in support of the Ukrainian people.
The evening will highlight 5 short works by Ukrainian playwrights from the first days of the invasion performed live by our good friends @ghostroadcompany. 100% of proceeds will go to three wonderful charities benefitting the people of Ukraine in a time of great need.
The first fundraiser was a huge success; an eye opening and first hand glimpse into the day to day struggles of the Ukrainian people told with both heart and humor, and filled with stories beyond the headlines. This performance will feature 3 new works in addition to a musical performance by Ghost Road collaborator Jakob Berger. It will be a wonderful evening.

Reserve your place at the link below, seating is limited.

Summer is here! Well, technically not yet but you know what I mean 🙂

Starting today, our “Summer is here!“ Toast is back on the menu. This is always a great opportunity for us to showcase the best of the farmers market in a single, light and delicious dish. Every bite is an exploration.

Thanks to all our amazing growers for their hard work making such beautiful produce, and thanks to all of you for your amazing support

Come try the new “summer is here!“… You won’t be disappointed 🙂

The colors of prep.

Sometimes, just stopping and looking around the kitchen in the morning is the most inspiring moment of the day. This is just one of our three prep stations, too!
Late spring, what an amazing time of year to be hungry 🙂

Come join us and see what the best farmers on the planet, our California growers, are harvesting right now.

We are so lucky, aren’t we? 🙂

See you soon!

Time flies, doesn’t it?

One of our all-time favorites is back in season, starting this week!

Wild Oregon bay shrimp starts this weekend! Tiny and sweet, reminiscent of the Greenland shrimp found around the chilly waters of the Danish coast, they are a signature of Scandinavian cuisine and seriously delicious.

Stop by and try some thing truly unique, only at

Hi, everyone.

Our off site event 04.20.22 doubled in size over night. Yikes.
We won't be able to open for full service as we scramble to shop and cook, so we're trying something new and will have "Grab and Go" sandwiches and salads available next door at HYA. We know it's not perfect, but at least we can try to get our friends fed for lunch tomorrow! 🙂

As always, we appreciate your patience as we work through what is hopefully the last vestiges of our industry's pandemic challenges, and please know we would love to be open every day it's just not feasible quite yet. We're getting there, though.
Please follow us on Instagram @openfacefoodshop for timely information about hours and some amazing upcoming specials; spring always brings new menu items and the return of old favorites (wink!).

Thanks again and we'll see you all soon.

Warm regards,

Lene and Mark ...

From all of us at Open Face Food Shop, we want to extend our thanks to Masters of Taste for inviting us to be part of such an amazing and powerful event.

For those of you that can’t make it to the festival today, please support Union Station Homeless services!

For nearly 50 years they have taken up the mantle and put everything on the line for our unhoused neighbors here in Los Angeles. We are deeply honored to play a small part.

See you all soon!

Amazing! @weiserfamilyfarms does it again with a true taste of early spring… Sprouting cauliflower! Such an amazing color, and an equally amazing flavor. So lucky to have world class growers so close to home!

Feels like spring is right around the corner today 😀
