I like the bakery and coffees. Especially, the ambiance is out of this world. From the outside it looked normal. This place encouraged and sells local artists items.
best best coffee shop in LA. hands down. hands up. hands sideways. it rocks. outdoor area such a vibe. great shade. great energy. turmeric drink. you're gonna like the way you look.
Gorgeous place to grab a coffee, with great breakfast sandwiches too. Every little detail has been thought of, right down to the tile work where you stir in some cream and sugar and dispose of your cup. The atmosphere is amazing, staff are friendly, they sell work from local artists, and are even queer and trans friendly. The fountain on the patio along with petals from overhanging flowers petals dropping down onto the tables and ground below seal the deal to create an absolutely stunning oasis in LA. Pics are from the Christmas season - as a Dane it made me smile to see a few julenisse on the shelves EDIT: I found out from my therapist (who’s Latino) that what I assumed were julenisser are actually duendes!! Apologies for not learning more about this before I posted. Excited to learn more about duendes
This place is very picturesque if you're into Spanish architecture. This coffee shop has a lovely patio with a selection of books to choose from if you want to enjoy an afternoon. I had the cafe de olla with oat milk, which was luscious. The staff was friendly and quick. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and they even sell items from local artists.
Great place to grab some outdoor time in their small getaway courtyard. Lots of shade from outdoor umbrellas. Good as a catch up cafe for 2. Or great place for study, wifi with laptop for 1-2ppl. No outlet access. Furbabies allowed. I wouldn't recommend any rowdy dependants (fur or human) to ruin the chill vibes. Reminds me of Cafecito Organico in Silverlake before more gentrification happened. Food and snacks are offered here. They have small cute local artisan store.
I get the Cafe latte with almond milk and cinnamon delicious . I recently tried their Cold Matcha and added agave. So good! The atmosphere is great and I love how they display local shops in their Cafe. The food is great too. Always so fresh. The people are nice . Must recommend.
By far my favorite coffee shop in LA! The staff is so nice here, the coffee is amazing and just a cool little spot to use some wifi and get some work done. Thank you guys!
GORGEOUS patio, good food & drinks (esp Munster breakfast sandwich), wifi (no power outlets - all outdoor seating), free 2hr street parking directly in front, gender neutral accessible bathrooms
