50 Best Cafes near Shadow Hills

“It does not feel like you were in LA county. This place takes me right back to the country and every general store Café I’ve ever been to. The portions are solid, especially for the lower than expecting prices. The atmosphere is full on country. The music is country.and everyone is friendly and kind. The food is fresh and made to order. And it hasn’t changed in the 20 years I’ve been going. I am never disappointed and I am always satisfied.“

“I'd have to tell you last Friday I went to Lola's because my wife kept raving about how wonderful of a place it was. So I had to try it out for myself. A young lady named Abigail (who looks like Billie Ellish) and who just had this welcoming spirit and made you feel comfortable along with the rest of the staff. Once you were sat and you were able to go through the menu, I had looked up some items online and their food looked exactly as it was presented in their pictures. Even better, the food, it was absolutely, completely, delicious!!! The atmosphere made you not want to leave, and it was comfortable, it was inviting. They checked on you periodically to see if you needed anything at he same time, allowing you to enjoy the ambience of the place. I had the enchiladas and Arnold Palmer balanced perfectly. It's a good first date place. My date I've been with her 30 years Married and enjoyed every moment there, oh also our daughter was present.“

“Ooh, what a lively place. It is a packed place even on a late Thursday morning, but the food is quite good.

I had the avocado toast with two poached eggs and it was tasty. I added a sprinkle of pepper and it was set to go. Definitely interested in trying the rest of their menu.

Cold brew was also nice although not too memorable.“

“Today we ordered black beans and rice, fried bananas and ropa vieja for a big group. It was absolutely delicious and even came with plates, utensils and napkins. Thank you very much.“

“Can someone please answer the sunset blvd location’s phone ? I need to make an adjustment to an acai bowl placed with DoorDash before it gets made.

edit: Whata Peach personally reached out & made everything right. I do truly appreciate it & highly recommend to order in person instead of using doordash.
The food & drinks were still extremely yummy & the additional effort from Whata peach made this company climb higher on my list of places to visit while in LA. Thank you 🍑“

“If I could give the food 20 out of five stars I would,
Not to take anything away from the service or atmosphere because they were also superb! The Swedish pancakes were just like my mother made on special occasions and the scone was so moist it didn’t even need butter! Most of the people in there were regulars. I’ll definitely be back often!“

“They have the most amazing soups! Healthy and delicious! Plus they have amazing customer service!“

“We happened upon this delicious little gem, in Montrose, after viewing the immersive Van Gogh exhibit in Hollywood. Incredibly… the decor was all Van Gogh art prints! Perfectly in tun with our afternoon. The French owner is an absolute delight. We ordered a Moroccan chicken dish and beef bourguignon. The portions were very hearty and absolutely delicious. We also upgraded our dinner to include salad and a lovely blueberry tart for dessert. The entire experience was memorable! We’ll definitely be back and bringing friends!“

“Garcia brothers Cafe is absolutely amazing. The staff is very attentive. The food is killer. The atmosphere, ambiance is amazing. Absolutely my favorite Cafe.“

“Best little bistro in Glendale! Love the French cafe vibes, affordable cocktails/wine/beer and yummy food. Seems like a popular place for brunch but I like coming mid-afternoon to enjoy their sidewalk patio with an appetizer and drink. Great service too!“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Coral Cafe's food is delicious! Our delivery was prompt, accurate (even with all our special requests) and the portions were very generous. I would definitely order from them again, and I highly recommend it.“

“Definitely go for the coffee. Delicious speciality lattes, albeit much smaller than you would expect.

Ordered food on here on a few occasions and its ridiculously overpriced. Remembered getting grits and a coffee and it was the most underwhelming $30 I’ve ever spent. Chicken sandwich is slightly better though if you want to drop $18 on a little sandwich.“

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

“Love this place. The drinks are amazing. I've yet to try the pastries though.

The staff have always been very friendly. A small shop with intriguing photos of the Valley in the past on the wall.

They roast their own beans in the morning right in the front of the shop.“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“amazing cool fun and exciting experience“

“Great tasty phenomenal meal. I had Ube pancakes, brisket waffle sandwich, lemon ricotta waffle with fried chicken. Everything was superb, the only thing I would complain is that when the waitress asked what celebrity I wanted on my latte, I said "P.Diddy" and she would not allow this ??? her response was "we don't allow that here, we won't allow that anywhere!"“

“Great food and Jenna the owner was SO friendly! And very helpful. Very clean and hygienic . Good food if you are vegetarian or vegan. Great selection of foodstuffs nicely packaged that make great little Gifts like chocolate and tins of sardines! Really pleased and will return“

“My friends and I were lucky enough to be able to try out their brand new dinner menu and we are so glad we did. At the time of this review I think it is only the third day since its launch and I HIGHLY encourage everyone to go check it out the food was amazing! Two of us got the Ciopinno (seafood soup) and two of us got the Suprema de Pollo (breaded chicken breast stuffed with cheese and ham), Caramel Apple cheesecake and pumpkin cobbler bar for dessert. When I say I went in feeling not that hungry but CLEANED the plate I’m being so honest. I wish we had taken pictures but we immediately demolished everything. Our waiter (amazing service, great vibes, wish I remembered his name) too such great care of us. He let us know that this new menu is entirely from the mind of their head chef, who even came out personally to ask our opinions on everything (again, amazing). Very excited to come back and try the rest!!“

“Seriously delicious shawarma served up here. I love that they toast the pita wrap on the grill. The meats are tender juicy and flavorful and the pickled veggies and sauces are on point. This truck deserves great business. I hope they stick around!“

“Excellent food and amazing service!“

“I like my coffee how I like myself: tall,
dark, sweet, gorgeous and too hot for you. Lol. :D Let’s begin this exciting review.

EXPRESS Coffee shop is a local charming cafe on a midsize plaza in Glendale. They offer a breadth of coffee and tea drinks (hot or iced), pastries and food. Its lovely interior wall decor of giant jungle leaves emits a relaxing atmosphere. Moreover, their indoor and outdoor seats were very comfy in an open layout. I was in search for a new cafe adventure in the area; I came on a 90 degree afternoon to grab a drink. I ordered a Cold Brew and Iced Coffee. Both were really, really good.

Staff were cordial and professional. Service was spot on. Prices were competitive and march the quality of their drinks. Free wifi and parking. Collectively, this cafe is great spot for people-watching, chill with your laptop, and unwind with good vibe.

Overall, I had a great experience and truly enjoyed their refreshing cold drinks. I was filled with joy! I recommend this local cafe.“

“Cute cafe spot with good food. Cute The only part that reduced the food starts was that the potatoes could use some seasoning. I used hot sauce but didn't seem like there was any seasoning on them. The omelet and pancakes were excellent. And real fresh fruit in fruit cup. The mint lemonade was also very tasty and refreshing, highly recommend!
Staff were pleasant.“

“Sweet Demi Lune Bakery has not just flourished—it has become a cherished cornerstone of North Glendale and Montrose. Once a promising newcomer, it is now a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. Walking through the doors, you're still met with the same welcoming warmth—friendly smiles, lively chatter, and the irresistible scent of freshly baked perfection.
The bakery continues to set the standard, skillfully expanding its menu while perfecting its signature pastries. Their croissants remain unmatched—flaky, buttery, and impossibly light.

Now, Sweet Demi Lune has elevated its offerings even further, introducing breakfast and savory options alongside its renowned pastries. Whether you're in the mood for a light bite or something indulgent, there's no shortage of tempting choices. Their pistachio raspberry croissants, in particular, deserve high praise—layers of nutty richness intertwined with vibrant berry sweetness make them nothing short of sublime.
Beyond the menu, the bakery has embraced its role as a community hub. From seasonal specials to lively events, Sweet Demi Lune is more than a place to grab a pastry—it’s a space where people gather, connect, and celebrate life’s simple joys.
If you haven’t visited recently, consider this your invitation. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery remains at the top of its game, ready to delight you with familiar favorites and enticing new creations—all wrapped in a little extra magic.“

“BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER WITH THE MOST AMICABLE SMILING FACES AND OF COURSE THE BEST SERVICE EVER GERARD FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA“

“Love it! They have really good service. They make you feel like family..“

“My first visit. I was able to ask questions with great service. Settled on a dragon fruit smoothie. It was prepared fresh and it was delicious! I will go again. Id like to try their Acai bowls. The wait for my smoothie to be prepared was under 5 minutes.“

“My husband is a tennis player, so we love the Courtside Caffe at the Burbank Tennis Center. My fave is the Greek salad. My husband likes the pita pizza and burgers. The seasoning is wonderful. Today I had a “fried chicken sandwich” not fried or breaded., but grilled. Delicious! Their smoothies are yummy. And we’re sitting here watching people on two courts play, with a backdrop of the Verdugo Mountains. Gorgeous!“

“Açaí Jungle Cafe is a wonderful place to enjoy a great cup of coffee and excellent food. The great staff are genuinely concerned that each patron is given the best of service. And, they pride themselves in remembering your name each time you stop in. I highly recommend Açaí Jungle Cafe!“

“Delicious saltenas, we order 20 at a time for our family celebrations.😋😋“

“Good Coffee,sandwiches are really good and the owners are super friendly... best donut shop in the valley 👍“

“What an amazing drink experience! The drinks are crafted with love & care. We tasted greatness in every sip. Kids & I love boba, so I can tell without a doubt, this is our favorite place. Fortunately, this place is close to my work & a bit far from home. Or else, the kids would bring me here every other day!

My colleague loved her honeycomb coffee. Personally, I felt like Taro cream is to die for. Everyone else from my work were happy about their orders from here.

Customer for life :)“
