11 Best Cafes in Encino

“Here’s a more natural, human-sounding version:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely love Rumors Coffee! Every time I walk in, the place feels warm and welcoming, and the staff is always so kind and genuine.

But I have to mention the highlight: their handmade Bosnian börek. Oh my goodness… it’s incredible! Flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. It honestly tastes like something you’d get in a Bosnian home. I find myself craving it all the time, especially with a hot latte.

Rumors has become one of my favorite spots to relax, study, or just take a break from the day. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves good coffee and delicious homemade food!“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem on the 2nd floor of the 16133 yesterday. The lunch panini was a healthy fill me up and they had all the essentials with such an inviting atmosphere. The service was spectacular. Don't miss out and go up to what feels like lunch heaven!“

“Tower of Babel, Ivory Tower - towers can get a bad rep. That said, Tower Café may finally change the Tower tide. A delightful café on the 3rd floor of a standard Ventura Blvd office building, Tower Café features a variety of delicious lunch and breakfast items at profoundly reasonable prices. I got the scrumptious turkey sandwich, replete with fresh veggies and a bag of chips (not pictured), all for less than $10! For a quality lunchtime meal that won't break the bank, scale the skyscraper of sandwiches that is the Tower Café.“

“One of the most light-filled coffee shops in the Valley with the happiest team of baristas I have ever encountered. The range of seating arrangements makes this my favorite place to get work done when I want to take a break from working from home. My go-to drinks are the hot chocolate and the red velvet lattes! 100/10, highly recommend 😊“

“1st time there and food was amazing specially the churro 3 leches French toast.“

“Since I was 4 years old in 1980, I have always believed Western Bagel to be the best bagel in the Los Angeles area (and possibly the world). But random happenstance had me doing business on this particular block of Ventura Blvd and craving a bagel at the same time. I went into Abraham bagel and ordered my favorite, the onion bagel. It is difficult to explain the experience; bagels are 80% texture. And Abraham Bagel wasn't just better than Western Bagel. It was a unique, interesting texture that I'd never experienced in a bagel before. A little bit harder than the Western, but also in this zone of perfection. This bagel that I ate forced me to re-evaluate my bagel scale. I am in awe.“

“This is one of my go-to lunch spots. Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing, they are truly kind people. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion size. I can't recommend Lusy's enough.“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“We discovered Tasty Town Café by accident when taking our baby to his pediatrician—it’s right in the same building, and the amazing smell coming from the café convinced us to give it a try. Now it’s officially become our little tradition after every appointment!

Parking is easy, the café is clean, and the staff is always so friendly. The food is honestly so good—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We’ve tried the sandwiches, wraps, and coffee, and everything tastes gourmet, like it’s made with real, handmade love. Even my picky husband is obsessed with their food, which says a lot.

Fast service, delicious options, and just an overall welcoming vibe. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend“

“The best restaurant for lunch in Encino !“

“Amazing Persian restaurant and hookah lounge! The food was absolutely delicious full of authentic flavors, perfectly cooked kebabs, and fresh ingredients. Portions were generous and everything came out hot and beautifully presented.

The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed dinner or hanging out with friends. The hookah was smooth, flavorful, and well prepared definitely one of the best I’ve had.

Service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. You can tell they really care about quality and the customer experience.
Highly recommend this spot for great Persian food, top-tier hookah, and a chill vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“
