Located on Melrose, the Cafe was clean and had great customer service. I had a large arugula salad with grilled chicken, goat cheese, sliced almonds, dried fig, cherry tomatoes, and avocado with a lemon vinegarette dressing. I also had a cappuccino with a picture of my grandmother on the foam. What a great idea! They have a cute little patio off to the side where you can eat and people watch.

Located around decent amounts of streetside meter parking with 2hr limits (can pay for more if you wait til it's about to expire of course).Has free, fast wifi and good food and coffee. Recommend the waffles (they come cut up and in a cup but delicious).The only downside is the loud music if you plan on being there for longer like reading or working on a laptop. Not awful, but can be annoying to some. Great music choices though.

A pretty and cozy cafe. It’s in front of the Pink Wall. Prices of drink are very reasonable. You should visit there if you have a chance to go around there

This cafe is super chic! Really good dirty chai, beautiful donuts and great customer service. It’s right by the “pink wall” so grab a drink and snap some pics !

I usually get an iced oat milk latte and sandwich from Carrera, and it never disappoints. The coffee they use is strong & delicious. I’ve had their breakfast sandwich as well as the tuna, club, turkey, and caprese - all of which I’ve enjoyed. Was pleasantly surprised by the egg sandwich- not much inside but the bread and ingredients are fresh & make for a simple, appetizing breakfast. Plus - decor and ambiance are cute & the workers there are always so nice and helpful.

Good quick place to stop for coffee and sandwiches. A bit pricey for what you get but still worth it. Good for people watching at Fred Segal's.

Everything we tried was excellent! And the service was fantastic!

They use good coffee beans from a well known brand ?? the printing on the foam is a nice touch ? good texture and flavor for the cappuccino. Plenty of options to choose for a quick bite or desert.Gracias hermano

Rich espresso with velvety mouthfeel—a treat after too many Starbucks brews. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Starbucks. I’m not a hater.?)

The location is nice and filled with natural light. I had the lavender flavored coffee and it was good. The waffle however was given to me in a plastic cup and I found that cheap. I got the berries and walnuts waffle which ended up being too sweet because of the syrup, iced sugar and whipped cream they add.
