Prepare Your Insta Feeds: Sqirl Will Be Serving Breakfast For Dinner Next Week
For the first time ever, L.A. brunch favorite Sqirl will be opening its doors for dinner. Well, not dinner exactly, but a meal served at dinner time. Beginning on Thursday, the Silver Lake/East Hollywood favorite will host a limited-run three-night "breakfast for dinner experience."
Known for its fancy toast and extremely long weekend lines, Sqirl is beloved by everyone from Mark Bittman to my mom, along with a seemingly endless parade of Girls In Big Hats and the men who hold their purses while they selfie. Though it only opened in 2011, Sqirl has long since crossed over into L.A. institution status—and chef Jessica Koslow, who also has a West L.A. spot opening sometime in the not-too-distant future, is practically a civic treasure.

Koslow will team up with Kellogg's cereal for next week's limited-run breakfast for dinner residency, serving unique cereal-based creations that build off Sqirl favorites. "Cereal is such a versatile ingredient that can work for both sweet and savory dishes," Koslow said in a statement. "Breakfast is the best meal of the day—why not have it all the time?"

Menu staples like Koslow's famous ricotta toast will be reimagined with a twist, incorporating—what else?—Kellogg's cereals. Most of the temporary menu remains a mystery, but the ricotta toast (as pictured above) will be topped with Rice Krispies® and limited-edition cereal jams. I know that I should probably say something snarky here (typing that ® symbol practically triggers a Pavlovian response) about hipster restaurant + multinational company = blah blah, but these are dark times and who doesn't want to eat soft cheese on bread with cereal on top? Honestly, that sounds great.
Sqirl will be partnering with Kellogg's for the three-night, cereal-inspired breakfast for dinner menu from Thursday, September 21st through Saturday, September 23rd. Walk-in seatings will be available nightly from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Sqirl is located at 720 N. Virgil Avenue in Virgil Village.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
