50 Best Cafes near Encino

“Omg! I was really surprised when I got there to have a cup of coffee,that the place has changed. The two ladies they’re there are amazing. Their food is excellent and I’ll tell you something. The coffee is from Italy best cup of coffee I have, I haven’t had such a good cup of coffee for a long time. I believe they’re from Bosnia, it is worth it, go have a coffee a conversation with them and a great meal.😊“

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

“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 😊“

“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.“

“The perfect hole in the wall bagel shop! I come here whenever I can, I usually order the lox sandwich with chive spread on a bialy, it’s perfect everytime. Always fresh and they are always super nice. Definitely a neighborhood staple, best bagels in town in my opinion“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“Let me begin with the positives such as a clean area to eat outdoor or indoor and the cooking area is clean. The lentil soup is vegetarian and super savory with the dill and seasonings. The soujouk burrito is delicious with great tortillas. Please don't change the tortillas. The green Greek salad is fresh and tasty. The coffee is smooth and perfect warn temperature. The macha was perfect as well. I believe what makes this a place I will come back to are the organic good quality ingredients they use and the attention to flavors. It's important to cook with care. They do cook with care and it shows. I will keep you posted if anything changes.
The negative for me is the parking and plastic utensils. Personally, I don't like plastic. However it will not deter me from coming back.“

“The best restaurant for lunch in Encino !“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“Cool place to get Argentinean goodies... Gaby, the owner, is the best! My family loves her 🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷“

“The Menemen was absolutely delicious - fresh, flavorful, and almost as good as the one I had in Istanbul! 😊 It reminded me so much of the Bulgarian mish-mash. The oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, too. I’ll definitely be back! ☕❤“

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“10/10, asked the server for his recs and they were all awesome - 5 stars for service as well. They also have WiFi and outlets if you’re looking for a spot to work that also has great food options! I got late breakfast here after 11 AM which I always appreciate!“

“Wish I lived closer. As a first time customer I got a drink on the house, and they have a utopic pay-what-you-can model for future drinks. The cafe is spacious, and it’s the perfect place to either get work done or chat with some friends—it doesn’t seem dominated by either group. The baristas are very friendly and clearly excellent at their craft. They use high quality espresso, and the brown sugar latte was divine.“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“One of the best boba places I’ve been too, especially if you’re a Csun student! The smoothies and boba drinks are delicious! 10/10 - the one I got was a mango smoothie with no boba and I highly recommend if your a mango fan!! 👏✨“

“Very friendly group there. They had information available about all the cats and you could tell they loved where they worked. The cats are obviously well cared for and the facility is well maintained. I was impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be back.“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“Love bringing my son here to play new games. Good menu and nice atmosphere. For solo or group work.“

“It was so delicious 😋 definitely going back“

“Food was good! We ordered the Crispy chicken wrap with curly fries and the steak salad. Both were good, I don’t like blue cheese and there was some in the salad.

I used to get their iced vanilla latte religiously almost everyday then I tried other places and realized Aroma’s lattes are very milk heavy and I can barely taste the coffee. If I get coffee from them it’s a cold brew now.

Dessert is delicious! The chocolate chip cookies are goey and have a crunch .

I love the location it’s beautiful inside and out. It usually gets packed and there’s a line you have to wait in, but we went in at 5pm and it was pretty quiet. Found seating inside no issues, tables were clean, bathroom was clean. Service was quick!

You can also place orders for pick up through Chow Now App.“

“Cute, fun, and immediately won me over because they use Dune Coffee beans, aka one of my favorite coffee spots from Santa Barbara!

The matcha was incredible and my friend LOVED her strawberry matcha because the milk tasted infused with freeze-dried strawberries which really leveled up the strawberry flavor! Super unique and really tasty. Will definitely be back!“

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“WoW , the food , the view, Supernice Crew . Worth everything ! We come back . / Swedish Guests“

“Love it me gusta mucho la amabilidad y tienen los chilaquiles mas deliciosos que e probado 👌😋😋“

“I grabbed a coffee before heading to the airport and appreciated the quick service. The line moved steadily, my order was correct, and the cup was securely closed for travel. It was an easy stop that didn't add any stress to the morning“

“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.“

“Great place to have a good boba and they also have some good food in their menu. Good service too and friendly staff.“

“The food was really good and so delicious. The flavor was fantastic and they have great options of coffee. This is one of the best coffee spot I go to. I stopped there and ordered the cappuccino latte sub almond milk which taste really great. The bacon cheddar quiche taste really great and so delicious too. It has nice flavor and taste so fantastic.
The place has nice setting with good ambiance. Nice customer service.“

“I stopped by Amandine Patisserie Cafe on Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how busy they were for a weekday crowd, but still managed to get a table quickly. The croissants I ordered looked beautiful and smelled amazing - the flaky crust had just enough butter. After taking a few bites, I'd definitely recommend retrying their chocolate-dipped pastry if you missed out on it earlier; it's a favorite of mine so far.“

“Hidden gem in LA. Highly recommend. One of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had, the flavor and spice is amazing.“

“This place is amazing. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches of my life. The bread is so fresh and soft and the tuna salad has like chickpeas in it and it’s just so flavorful and delicious. I love coming here and I always get the Matcha too!“

“Great new neighborhood spot! The food is healthy and delicious. Lots of variety on the menu so everyone should have a few excellent choices!“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“The food was great and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“This place is pretty amazing !!! They know all there products very good willing to help you find just what you are looking for very good service“

“excellent salad. thank you ben“

“La atencion la comida , el deporte todo muy bueno“

“Went in for a casual brunch on a Friday and it was packed with people! The lady at the front was lovely and the servers were nice as well. The food was very good and we enjoyed the sandwiches we ordered! The one downside was there were just a lot of flies everywhere constantly landing on our food. Hard to control with doors opening all the time but certainly impacted the experience. Would definitely try it out again!“

“This is a lovely cafe for lunch and/or coffee. There staff is very friendly and helpful accommodating our requests for additional salad dressing. However it closes at 3pm, at which time you can no longer refill your fountain drinks. The view and the ambiance is absolutely amazing. The outdoor seating areas are well spaced out and shaded. The Villa Burger is a good balance of gruyere cheese, beef patty, Arugula, onion jam and brioche bun. Three garlic fries are perfectly seasoned with garlic and parsley. The Market Salad with apple, quinoa and chicken is generous and well dressed with shallot vinaigrette. The prices are definitely 10-20% higher but the ambiance is worth it.“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“Ordered my wife the 36 piece box for the birth of our son. Truly, every piece she has said has just been incredible! AND to ship with such care from Beverly Hills to Columbus, Ohio in the MIDDLE of a July heatwave.... not a single crack in ANY piece. Just true care and quality. This will be a special occasion staple! Shot out to H3 for keeping &sons in our line of sight for so long!“

“This is the best and worth the wait. It's practically 2 servings so don't think it's expensive, it's perfect. Delicious sauces. Perfect. Guys are nice, too. I messed up and paid with the wrong app (use Zelle, NOT Venmo) and the owner helped to fix it right away. He didn't have to do that. These are good guys making good food. Support local businesses, support Cosmodrome LA!“

“The nicest people And the best boba on earth“

“Double edge coin. Hippies then conservatives in the same area. But you get a certain vibe from the area.“

“Still absolutely amazing after all these years!

Staff is fantastic, churros are hot, fresh, and crispy, made the perfect way just like Miami or Spain or wherever! Coffees and drinks are all amazing.

I love this place and I wish they were closer! But I am happy to visit whenever I am nearby“
