“Cafe Zipphaus within the healing halls of Kaiser Panorama City abideth as a waystation betwixt toil and tranquility. There the aroma of coffee ascendeth like incense before celestial courts, and the weary multitude find brief respite from the dust of samsara. The attendants labor with such diligence that even the jade-scaled loongs of old would nod in solemn approval.

Most wondrous of all, it is said that a congregation of yellow sages known to later generations as the Minions once gathered there. Perceiving the excellence of the coffee, they abandoned their cryptic chants of “banana” and discoursed instead upon the profound doctrine of dependent origination. Laozi smiled, Nagarjuna stroked his beard in approval, and even Mara, finding no fault to exploit, departed in bewildered silence. Unto Cafe Zipphaus I bestow ten thousand bows, eighty-four thousand auspicious omens, and the commendation of the Enlightened Minions of antiquity.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“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.“

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

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

“🍑 I stopped by and tried the Sweet Peach Smoothie from the Lawless pop-up, and it was absolutely delicious! The smoothie had banana, peach, pineapple, strawberry, agave, hyaluronic acid, and your choice of milk. Everything tasted fresh and the peach flavor was so good! 🥤🍑“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“Had a great experience visiting this place. The atmosphere was pleasant, and everything was well managed. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the overall experience enjoyable. Definitely a nice place to visit and would recommend it to others!“

“We went for a late breakfast before a matinée show. The sandwiches were great, service nice and ambiance nice. Even though I prefer full service places, I sure would, when in the area, go again and can recommend the place. However, I doubt that I would do a 30+ min detour just to eat or drink here - mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve five stars. So it is a heartfelt, recommending ★★★★ out of five stars.“

“We walked the Fern Dell trail to the playground and the coffee shop and had a wonderful morning. Easy hike for the whole family mainly inclining but doable. The kids had a great time and the adults enjoyed the iced coffee and treats. Absolutely will do it again“

“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!! 👏✨“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came in for the first time and the cafe had such a nice atmosphere surrounding it. The latte I ordered was delicious and had a wonderfully tasting espresso. I also got one of their lunch sandwiches along with some fries which were both crafted beautifully and not what I was expecting from a cafe. I had to end it with a pastry because they all looked so yummy and the one I chose definitely met that standard. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. From someone who also works in a very similar environment and can be picky, it was very much worth it. I do recommend and will 100% be back!“

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

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

“My husband and I stopped by for a late breakfast and were so happy we did. The food was delicious, the coffee was really good, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. You can tell this place is made with a lot of love and care.We’ll definitely stop by whenever we’re in the area.“

“This was a pretty cool, quaint cafe that's buzzing with energy. I especially like the outdoor patio when it's not too hot outside.

We ordered the Falafel Wrap, that Dahab Breakfast special featured on the counter, Matchanade, and Cortado.

The Falafel Wrap was pretty good, but the side of potatoes with that aioli was the real highlight. There's a nice tang and acidity to it that went well with the roasted potatoes.

The Dahab Breakfast special is a bit more subtle plate, especially with the goat cheese and olive oil playing well with the bread and scrambled egg. It's not a knock-your-socks off type of dish, just clean and easy going.

As for the drinks, the Cortado is as good, but I especially love the matchanade, aka Matcha Lemonade. There is a nice balance of the subtle umami of the matcha and the citrus brightness of the lemonade and a hint of sugar. Overall, that drink is something I would have again here.“

“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.“

“This Bakery is Beyond amazing 👏 😍 They make fresh fruit smoothies :^) they have multiple milk options 😋 They offer fresh juices that are healthy, yet delicious. They have delicious sandwiches. Their homemade cookies are amazing 👏 They go above and beyond to make you feel at home 🏡 they have AC and it's comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and provides a sound blocking experience. I will definitely be coming back. 😌 Thank you all for providing us a healthy energizing breakfast!“

“Excellent food and service! Absolutely perfect breakfast. Hot, delicious, HUGE portions. The best chai tea latte I've ever had it - it puts Starbucks to shame. The meal was esthetically a work of art (see photo). The menu said two eggs, but it looked like five. Great French toast - better than I can make myself. Needless to say, I highly recommend Joey's Cafe!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing!!! Worth the wait! Definitely my favorite brunch place now! My friend and I have been brunching our way thru LA haha and this is probably the best brunch spot we have found so far! It gets crowded bc it's so delicious and the coffee art is so much fun! You scan a QR code and upload your pic for your latte :) Such an extensive menu and lots of boozy options if you're looking for a drink. Our server was very attentive and made excellent recommendations too.

I got the Fried Chicken Lemon Velvet Waffle which was SO good - literally tastes like lemon cupcakes yummmmmmm! And the fried chicken was so tender you could cut it with a fork.

There is a parking lot in the back which gives you 90 minutes free with validation and then $2 for each 15 min thereafter. If the lot is full, drive around and you may just luck out and someone is leaving so you can get a spot. Also definite put yourself in the online waitlist before heading there - it will cut down on the wait time.

I'm looking forward to trying the other items - definitely will be back :)“

“Cafe Grano was a really nice find. The coffee was good, the food was fresh, and the staff was friendly. It has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to sit for a while without feeling rushed. I’d definitely come back for breakfast or coffee.“

“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.😊“

“The nicest people And the best boba on earth“

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“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!“

“Excelente servicio y deliciosa comida a un buen precio. Súper recomendado 👌🏻👏🏻“

“My favorite place to get coffee. Have a few specialty drinks I toggle between that are my favorites. They have some unique and delicious muffins and a chocolate chip cookie to die for. I think the cookie is gluten-free....but you wouldn't know. Its so tasty. Was so happy to find this gem 7 years ago and have been going there ever since“

“Great coffee and great service.“

“Great coffee duh!!! What’s more needed to be said?“

“My family and I have been going to the Good Neighbor for over 20+ years, and always great food and excellent service!“

“Really good breakfast sandwiches, worth the line in my opinion. Buzzer wasn’t working when we went so we had to go in and check. When we were lined up some band was taking up over half the sidewalk so they could film something, which was annoying but not Community Goods’ fault. Have tried their coffee a couple of times and not really a fan of it.“

“Been here twice with my daughter - Got my husband the chai tea latte and I got the day dream, both delish. Great service everyone’s been super friendly. I even left my phone the second time and the girl came outside to give it back to me before I walked too far. Will be back!“

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

“First time here. An interesting menu, I ordered a goncho burger with fries - the portion wasnt big but the taste was there - homemade potato went well with their inhouse sauce and the burger had a good flavor of a sweet caramelized onions and melted cheddar. Very clean inside and very friendly service. Highly recommended to try at least once“

“Great atmosfier, amazing food, unforgettable time with friends!!!$“

“At first I liked this place because of the coffee they make (and be aware this saying someone who loves coffee, was a barista, and tried the drink in more than 10 different countries around the globe), it's genuinely good, smooth texture of espresso blended perfectly with milk.
But now I love this place because of the people who work there as well.
So the story is this: I was going for my coffee closer to their close time, about 4:30 pm.
Unfortunately as I found out when I get there they were closing earlier today, from what I heard someone had a Birthday party.
And I thought I would end up without the coffee today, but the owner of the place was there as well.
We had a small talk with three of us and they gave me a free latte.
I was going for the coffee, but was given such a warm gesture to push through another , gray and cold day of November.
Thank you Daniel, and barista I hope your party will be fire today!“

“deeeelicious matcha latte, lots of non dairy options for those of us who can’t do dairy (japanese soy was yummy), everyone who works there is hot, 10/10 experience. they even have a little designated parking spot in the plaza to make it easy to run in and out“
