For the Grill
Cream Co Marinated Tri Tip: tender California tri tip from the best of the best, Cream Co. available in 3 marinades, black garlic & honey, santa maria, and citrus chimichurri. Available at Larchmont & Echo Park.
Peads & Barnetts Bratwurst: pasture-raised pork in classic styles: hot, mild, salt & pepper, and linguiça, perfectly seasoned and ready
New York Style Hot Dogs: snappy, nostalgic, and unmistakably New York. Best with mustard, sauerkraut, or whatever feels right this Independence Day.
Grilled Veggies: throw some summer vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, broccolini and corn on the fire. Produce selection varies by location.
Veggie Burgers: hearty and handmade by our team with chickpeas, barley, mushrooms, and warm spices, a flavorful plant-based option.
The Finishing Touches
Hot sauces, condiments, and buns to complement whatever you’re grilling. We’ve stocked the essentials and highlighted a few favorites below.
Martin’s Potato Rolls: pillowy soft and subtly sweet — the gold standard for hot dogs and burgers alike.
Zab’s Hot Sauce: a Florida-born hot sauce made with Datil peppers, it’s got a bright, tangy heat with just the right kick.
Fresno Hot Sauce: a vibrant red sauce with medium heat and fruity notes, made from fresh Fresno chiles.
Moutarde Forte: a strong French mustard with a sharp bite, it’s a classic.
Duke’s Real Mayonnaise: creamy, tangy, and seriously beloved. Great as a standalone or a base for concocting the aioli of your dreams.
Heinz Ketchup: needs no explanation.
Many Melons 🍈
Summer melons are at their peak and we have plenty in store to slice and serve on your holiday fruit plates. From the petite, perfumed Bonny to the deep sweetness of Sugar Cub and the tropical notes of Arava, each one brings something special. Ogden and Piel de Sapo offer crisp, refreshing bites, while Cavaillon and Honeydew Orange surprise with vivid orange flesh and concentrated flavor. Brilliant lives up to its name with a sunny yellow rind and a clean, floral finish.
Festive Beverages
To sip alongside the grilling: a trio of crisp, summery beers from Highland Park Brewery, fresh-squeezed pink and yellow lemonades from Sycamore Farms, and a selection of sparkling wines for toasting under the fireworks.
NEW to the Cafe Menu
