50 Best Cafes near Hollywood

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“Wonderful fresh food. Friendly attentive service without hovering. Dani, the manager gave us great advice for other places to eat while we were out for the day.“

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“The place is very trendy and the food is vey delicious. There were 9 of us and we were able to taste many of the menu items. The food was consistently tasty and good. The lavashak and lavashak smoothie were 10 out of 10. Also the server was very friendly. We will definitely come back.“

“Stopped by Be Bright Coffee and ordered a cortado made with their Colombia Paola Trujillo Wush Wush Natural. The coffee had tasting notes of blood orange, red currant, honeysuckle, and tart cherry juice, which made it a really interesting coffee to experience in a milk drink.

The cortado itself was very well executed. The milk had a smooth, creamy texture with strong integration, and the body remained cohesive throughout most of the drink. As I worked my way through it, the espresso and milk continued to hold together nicely without developing a thick or separated layer of foam. The tasting notes had good clarity and came through well in the milk. The latte art could have been a little cleaner and more defined, but that’s a minor presentation detail and didn’t take away from the quality of the drink.

My main technical feedback would be the temperature. It was served just slightly hotter than I think it should have been. The flavors were still clear from the beginning, but the difference became noticeable as the cortado cooled. The coffee really opened up, and those fruit-forward characteristics became even more expressive and enjoyable. Starting the drink at that slightly lower temperature would have made the experience feel more dialed in from the very first sip.

I gave Be Bright four stars, and part of that comes down to the $10 price of the cortado. At that price point, I think the expectations naturally move into a different category. When you’re paying $10 for a cortado featuring a coffee like this, I’m expecting the execution to be as close to perfect as possible. The slightly higher serving temperature, along with the minor presentation detail, was enough to keep this one from reaching that level for me.

The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the person working the register was especially nice and made the experience feel inviting. Overall, it was a very good cortado with quality coffee behind it, and I’d definitely return to try some of the other beans they offer.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“Lee’s cafe is a Taiwanese-style cafe with a hint of Hong Kong sparkle, serving the perfect mix of Taiwanese and Hong Kong food. The toast is absolutely marvelous, and I truly believe it is worth every penny. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the other dishes. The sesame cold noodles were good, but missing something—I felt they didn’t quite hit the mark. The wontons were delicious, but the braised pork belly rice was your typical run-of-the-mill rice. Nothing terribly special, but delicious nonetheless. The HK milk tea, however, leaned very watery and missed the signature strong tea taste of a HK milk tea.
Also, their bathroom sink was broken and put as a “use at your own risk”. Hopefully they have fixed this since my visit!
Yet, through all this, I would still return to Liu’s kitchen—for their toast!“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“Milly was very respectful and attended to our needs. She was very quick to attend to my big party of 12 people. 10/10 service.“

“If you add protein powder to a bowl, you will be raw dogging it. Thought it would be mixed in… if you let it melt a bit you can mix it in yourself. I was, however, impressed w the amount of fruit they give you. The front worker was sweet. Shaded outdoor seating available. It’s a cute vibe.“

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

“Hidden gem! Tried out the peanut butter and banana shake, which was pretty descent. The chicken pesto sandwich was DELICIOUSNESS. It hit the spot.
Tried the fruit mousse dessert, raspberry and strawberry and they were gooood. But the real star of the show was Bella, the owners dog! She sat next us while we enjoyed our lunch :) the staff was super friendly and welcoming!“

“High quality food, tastes like the homemade wholesome Ukrainian food back in Ukraine. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 😀“

“Wow. The burritos here are incredible. The size??????? Big! You probably can’t finish the entire thing. If you do, you have a big big appetite lol and if you’re gluten free, the have gluten free tortillas for the burritos. The steak? I mean I could go on. I hate that they upcharge for tater tots but what can I do about that? The chilaquiles burrito was surprisingly good too. And the burritos comes with a side of corn tortilla chips. Now the wait??? Let me just tell you to order ahead. But I’ll be back over and over“

“Excelente servicio. Comida exquisita y saludable. 💯%Recomendable. Gracias.“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!

Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.“

“Love how I can go for a walk before/after the coffee since it’s attached to the walkway. There are plenty of sitting area outdoor.

My personal downsides are that (1) their indoor tables/chairs are so short so I cannot properly get any work done. (2) they dont have a charging station. They have one plug by the entrance but that doesnt work. So inconvenient.“

“I've been to Toastique multiple times at this point, and I will definitely be returning! Everyone there is so welcoming and kind! Even the look and feel of the restaurant are so inviting that I want to keep going back. I've gotten a smoothie (that I've forgotten the name of, but it was good!) and the Cure Juice which were both very tasty and I'd highly recommend checking it out!“

“Delicious way to start our day before heading up to Griffith Observatory! The quiche and the biscuit were highlights. It's just a walk up place with outdoor picnic tables, but the food and coffee are great, and the outdoor seating is quite pleasant“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“Awesome healthy food! A ton of vegan options. And the price is great too. You'll meet alot of grassroots artists and cultural creatives here,as well as spiritual people. All tribes are welcome here!“

“We needed a break this morning and this place provided the perfect vibe and atmosphere for us. The quality of the chilaquiles alone compelled me to write a review. They were the best that I have had. I have tried many that are too rich and others are too skimpy in what they offer. These chilaquiles were a perfect balance of ingredients. I tried the red/green salsa (banderas). I usually tend toward green but this red salsa blew me away. The flavor was exquisite.
The mexican mocha is also a nice experience.“

“Went with some friends who were vegetarian and we opted for the hummus wrap with tofu and it was SO good. I’ll always go for local food versus chains and this hit the spot. The owner was also really cool and chill (loved the condiment sides he suggested). Highly recommend this place! The next time I’m in LA I’m definitely gonna come back here.“

“The breakfast / brunch menu has a good concept and good options. The merguez sandwich was good, but too oily. The fries were done well but too salty.

I wish they cooked the food with less oil and salt. Maybe I'll request that if I stop by to eat there again.“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“one of the best places in los Angeles California“

“I am excited to share the heavenly news that Doubting Thomas has been fully endorsed by the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ, King of Wings! Congrats Chef Naomi!“

“This isn't a coffee shop. It's a communal space. The coffee is basically free if you think of your donation as more of a rental fee to be in this lovely communal space and have access to all that it offers. This place is ideal for making plans with business partners, writing scripts with friends, or just getting together for some time away from screens and computers. This place is tailored toward bringing diverse people together into one place to sharing ideas and stories with each other. As for the coffee and baristas both are fantastic. Cappuccino rocked me off my behind all day cuz I'm used to watered down crappuccinos from Starbucks. I love this place. This is where I bring friends that love good coffee and a peaceful conversation.“

“The staff and owners are beyond amazing!! Their love for the community and passion to serve others makes me believe in goodness again in this world. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do!!“

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

“Love the coffee, the snacks, and an amazing staff. One of the baristas came after me and returned my debit card the other day after I absent mindedly walked off without it while I was there. Obviously right thing to do and all, but that and their friendliness and answering questions about menu items beforehand left a positive impression.“

“A community staple. A beautiful, charming spot with incredible food and caring, warm service.

Whether you’re here for a sit down meal to catch up with friends, or need a quick to go pastry or dessert, Aroma will never disappoint.

This can be a very popular spot, so prepare for a small line and wait for an open table.

Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well. Many of the pastries and desserts are vegan and/or gluten free.

I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“This place was hands down, the best breakfast spot you could ever choose. We tried a variety of options: avocado toast, Nutella & banana croissant, banana and pb toast, and a bagel sandwich. Every single thing was 10/10. The coffee was somehow EVEN better. Best coffee I have ever had!!! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I got lunch delivered from them for the first time today and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to try the brisket, but they were out so I ended up with the steak sandwich and they were really apologetic and nice about it and even tossed in some extra freebies in my bag. I can’t speak to the atmosphere since I was not there, but the food was so good. I will definitely be visiting in person soon.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Cha Cha Matcha is such a fun spot — really bright, aesthetic, and just a whole vibe.

The matcha is the highlight, really good quality and super smooth. I tried one of their drinks and it was refreshing without being too sweet.

The WeHo location has such a nice sitting area, and the decor feels really elevated — lots of plants, beautiful old cane chairs, and just a really well-designed space.

Perfect for a casual catch-up or just sitting and enjoying the space.

Definitely a cute spot if you’re into matcha and want something light and easy“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“From the first interaction with staff till the very last, loved every part of my visit. They were very busy that day but the guy was so sweet and attentive. He was the only one serving the tables but remained super kind. I ordered the red chilaquiles with carnitas and asked for the spicy salsa to pour on top and wow - amazing flavor. Truly recommend these chilaquiles. I want to go back!“

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

“Super riko selos recomiendo“

“I came at 5:30pm on a Sunday and it wasn't very crowded which allowed me to easily get a seat. The atmosphere is the typical cafe vibe with k-r&b and lofi in the background and natural lighting, and the decor theme is cozy pastel blue + chrome. I tried this place because of the ATEEZ drink collab event and ordered the Mushroom Cream Baguette Sandwich, Spinach and Feta Pocket, and the Sweet Mamacita drink. They were all delicious, especially the Spinach and Feta Pocket which was very crispy! I wish I could buy more of these if the prices weren't as steep, but I understand that these may be typical L.A. prices. They were also filling, considering the decently small portion sizes, as I managed to get through the Spinach and Feta Pocket and my drink before I was full. I would recommend all of these items and dining in besides doing takeout like I did. It's overall a nice study spot with great snacks, and I'd come all the way out here just to try more items or just get the same ones I ordered!“

“Wow, randomly popped in for a matcha, & it's spectacular 👏
I got the Magic Matcha with pistachio milk & added cardamom. Beautiful flavor, consistency, & texture.
The cafe vibes are also very cool 😎👌“

“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“

“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!“

“Nice folk. Refills on coffee! What?!!“

“This is definitely a hidden gem and I only found it by chance when trying to find a quick bite near their closing hours. They have wonderful service and the rice balls they have are delicious. The rice is cooked very well and has a nice bite and their kimchi is delicious.“
