Summer in Eagle Rock hits different. The mornings are golden, the afternoons are blazing, and the produce at our local markets is absolutely wild right now — stone fruit, heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs. We built the summer menu around that energy.
At Four Café, food should track with the season, not fight it. Which is why every few months we revisit what we're making, source what's ripest, and let the kitchen lead. This summer is no exception.
What We're Loving Right Now
Our Summer Grain Bowl has been the talk of the line. Built on a base of black rice and quinoa, loaded with shaved zucchini, pickled red onion, roasted corn, and finished with a tahini-citrus dressing that somehow makes everything taste like a very good day. Add avocado. Always add avocado.
We've also been running an Heirloom Tomato Flatbread — housemade herb dough, whipped ricotta, sliced heirlooms, fresh basil, aged balsamic. It's a lunch that looks like it belongs on a cooking show and eats even better than it looks.
On the drink side: Hibiscus Cold Brew is back. Slow-steeped cold brew blended with a hibiscus reduction, served over ice. It's deep, slightly tart, and absolutely necessary on a 90-degree Eagle Rock afternoon.
Health-Forward, Not Health-Obsessed
We get asked a lot about our nutrition philosophy. The short version: we want food that makes you feel good after you eat it. Real ingredients, nothing artificial, menus that change so you're never eating the same thing twice. We're not precious about it — we just care about what we put in front of you.
This summer, that means leaning hard into fresh herbs, cold preparations, and produce sourced as close to home as we can manage. We call it eating fresh. We just think of it as eating well.

Summer won't last forever. The grain bowl will.
