I love black cow cafe. The only drawback is that it's usually crowded and there's a wait. However, it's worth it once you try their rotisserie chicken and mexican mocha. Their rosemary bread is unlike anything...

Great place for breakfast on the weekends if you can get a table. Really good french toast. The coffee and coffee specialty drinks are the best in Glendale.

The town of Montrose is more like small town USA rather than a suburb of Los Angeles. It's a great little town up near the mountains to walk around and relax... and the Black Cow is my favorite cafe around....

What a wonderful little cafe the Black Cow is. All of the food looks, smells and tastes wonderful (what I've had thus far), and the service was quite nice. I highly recommend the Butternut Squash Soup if it is...

Fantastic fresh-ground coffees, terrific egg dishes, and world class French toast. We drive all the way up from Hollywood -- it's that good. Montrose is a quaint American small town in the middle of L.A. Very...
