I needed to pop in for a cup of coffee, planning to get it to go. But the staff was so friendly I decided to stay..

I’ve come a couple times and the espresso is really burnt. I really want to like it but I’m disappointed with the latte I end up with. Place is cute and I haven’t tried their food.

They work so hard! Be patient! Wonderful place

I been here twice, the second time they required credit card. The first time, they didn't required card . The coffee is ok, nor amazing

The neighborhood Cafe. Good food and coffee. Friendly people

Used to be a great place to get coffee. Today the cashier at the front was rushing me to order, and was very short with me when I asked her questions. The kitchen either never was given or had forgotten my order, so 30 minutes after ordering avocado toast I followed up and was told it would be 5 minutes. 10 minutes later I follow up again and am told it still hadn't even been started yet (I was SO hungry at this point that it really upset me). The cashier who rung me up seemed careless about it, neither her or the lady (who I assume was supervising) even thought to apologize for the failed service. The cook even looked unfriendly, so I just requested a refund and left. 5th Ave Bagelry is my new go to. Their food is better, less costly, and it comes out quicker. It's fresher, and it's served to you by people with a smile on their face who are actually happy that you are there spending your hard earned money.

Avocado Toast with Salmon. So yummy!

Cali Burrito was good, salsa was a lil long on shelf life, edible but mushy. Burrito unsalted ... needed a lil something something to stand out ... like ... really kick arse salsa!

Service quic,k and courteous food tastyBut prices due to food increases during pandemic and trying to recouperate losses from being closed for several months caused an increase in food prices that makes eating there almost unaffordableTry chicken tortilla soup when its available pink detox smoothie sausage croissant and california breakfast burrito they have to get rid of their debit card system that charges a 50cent fee for each transaction pay with cash if you can cleanest cafe in dtlb

Barista is slow and made the worst mochas I've ever had.1. Barista needs to learn to multitask to make two drinks at once. A mocha and a white mocha should be easy to make at the same time.2. The mocha and white mocha were disgusting. Barista put so much simple syrup in it and it tasted like drinking splenda water. Threw out both drinks after one sipI will never be coming back here again and if you go, make sure you try your drink before leaving to make sure it's not horrible.
