editThe closest thing I could find for an image of the building was this. Unfortunately, it's all I've found. TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 23:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- I wasn't able to upload the image via Flickypedia, so maybe not licensed appropriately. Hopefully someone will upload a photo of the building's exterior some day. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:19, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments from TWOrantula
edit- The lead could be expanded, specifically with information on the restaurant's history and reception.
- The two citations in the lead could be moved into the article body somewhere.

- "This family-owned treasure uses local ingredients like Painted Hills natural beef in the Sicilian hash and Pearl Bakery brioche in the battered and grilled pan dolce served with whipped honey butter, organic maple syrup, and seasonal fresh fruit." -> The family-owned business used local ingredients including beef, brioche, maple syrup, and seasonal fruit. (might want to include the names of the dishes too)

- ahead of their 2019 divorce - Would suggest rewording as it is awkwardly squeezed in the prose
- Does "until their divorce in 2019" work for you? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- The hole-in-the-wall[...] cafe has been around for 15 years but couldn't withstand the financial strain the coronavirus pandemic placed on the establishment. Although there can't be any hugs, shoutouts, or last calls, according to Arleta's Facebook page, there is a GoFundMe for patrons to give staff one last tip. -> ...that a GoFundMe page was founded to tip the staff.
- While never much of a library, the Arleta Cafe earned a certain measure of cultural permanence when Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy Fieri stopped by to marvel at its trademark sweet potato biscuits with rosemary-sausage gravy. Following the Food Network imprimatur and owner Sarah Iannarone's ill-starred mayoral candidacy, a steady string of curious interlopers have joined die-hard regulars amid the morning crush. - Needs to be paraphrased, but I'm not sure how. Try to take out the main idea and summarize it in a sentence.
- Do we need an image of Sarah Iannarone?
- Removed. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
