13 Best Cafes in Sherman Oaks

“I felt like I was in Portugal, live music, a perfect and ideally sized cappuccino and the best pastel de Belém I've ever tasted in the United States. Simple restaurant at a fair price. If I have the opportunity to return to California I will definitely return.❤️?“

“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!“

“Didn’t get a chance to take a photo of my husband’s beautiful ajarski because it looked and smelled so good with that freshly baked bread. I was at first worried about my ribeye skewer because I didn’t specify the temperature but it was perfect. I’m surprised it’s not as busy because it’s also a great value! So good that why not get a bottle of wine :). A gem in this area.“

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

“After I upgraded my coffee setup, I realized that the store-bought beans just weren't cutting it. So, I decided to check out some local roasters and found The Coffee Roaster. Their website keeps a log of when each coffee is roasted, which is super helpful. I recommend letting the beans rest for at least three days after roasting. While the prices are listed per pound, you can actually buy a quarter pound if you prefer. I grabbed some Ethiopian and Java beans since I wanted a medium roast with lower acidity. I just brewed the Ethiopian coffee with my espresso machine, and wow! The first thing that hit me was the floral aroma. It had low acidity and a really fruity flavor. I'm totally hooked!

I couldn't find any info on pulling espresso shots on their site, so I chatted with Steve. He suggested using 18 grams of ground beans to get 36 grams of coffee at 200°F in 25-30 seconds. I really hope they add that info to their site soon.

For my espresso, I grind 19.5 grams of beans and pull 42.5 grams of coffee at 198°F in 30-32 seconds. I'm excited to experiment with a 1:2 ratio and maybe try slightly higher temperatures!“

“Really Good Coffee! ?. Colombia Nariño, Apontes Village, Honey P.O. Jared was very knowledgeable. A bit on the pricey end, but I really appreciated the amount detail (sourcing, roasting, brewing) they put into serving a very nice cup of coffee.“

“Our new breakfast spot! This place is a vibe in decor/music and is dog friendly. They have a small menu of sandwiches, omelets, crepes and my favorite, their parfait. Coffees are made to perfection with many flavors offered. Serving sizes are reasonable and everything is delicious and presented beautifully, even artfully. Staff are mellow and kind and create a welcoming vibe. 10/10“

Overall, it was a great experience that I can only recommend!"kind regards

“Happy Days Cafe is a delightful spot for a quick coffee break or a casual date, offering a charming ambiance that blends antique and modern decor. While it may not be ideal for remote work due to the lack of WiFi, it’s perfect for chatting with friends or enjoying a peaceful moment.

The Horchata Latte is an intriguing choice, though the horchata flavors are subtle and might leave you wanting more of that signature cinnamon kick. However, their churros truly shine. The Guava filled churro and Dulce de leche churro are both delicious, each offering a sweet, satisfying bite.

The cafe’s decor is a visual treat, with cute decorations and unique lighting creating a cozy atmosphere. You can choose between indoor and outdoor seating, making it a versatile spot depending on your mood. The service is quick and efficient, ensuring you’re never waiting too long for your treats. Overall, Happy Days Cafe is a lovely place to relax, enjoy a coffee, and indulge in some tasty churros.“
