“Such a joy! This shop is truly special. The house made almond milk is outstanding. Every pastry I tried + the almond butter toast was delicious. I was visiting from out-of-state to record some music nearby and Heath (a barista) learned my name on day 1. I visited 3x during my trip, and everyday I was welcomed by name and served with such kindness and sincerity. I had to leave with some merch (love the aesthetic)! I’m looking forward to the next time I’m near Los Angeles. Absolute gem.“

“Came here for brunch with some friends after work, I really appreciated that it was open early! There's a parking lot in the back and free street parking as well. Service is great, the girls behind the counter are friendly and helpful and the food came out super fast. I believe there's 2 types of brunch places: aesthetic brunch places with mediocre food and regular brunch places with really good food. Cos&pi is one of those with good brunch food, which is exactly what I needed after a 12 hour shift. We ordered the breakfast burrito, avocado bacon lettuce tomato sandwich and the waffle. The portions were large and filling which was very nice and surprisingly very tasty. I forgot to take a picture of the waffle but it was sooo good, nice and fluffy but also crispy and not too sweet and also not too heavy. The price is average for this day and age. For drinks, we all got the regular matcha latte, it's not on the sweet side so I would probably get the matcha vanilla latte next time since I like my drinks to be sweeter. We opted for the outdoor seating because the ambiance was nicer outside. It's not really a modern brunch place you'd come to for the aesthetics/ decorations but I would come back again for the food!“

Heirloom Bakery & Cafe Bakery • $

“A lovely cafe with the sweetest staff ever. These ladies are so friendly and attentive! Very cute with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor patio seating. Parking can be a bit hard to find, there are some lots and street spaces nearby. There’s a bathroom outside too, just ask staff for the door code. Decent prices and decent food. The quiche of the day was flavorful with great texture, and the Spanish latte was excellent. Would recommend and definitely go back“

“I got the zha jiang mian (spicy noodles) to go and they blew my mind. Insanely delicious. I have an average palate for spicy food and the default spice level was plenty spicy for me. I've been here for tea before but haven't tried the food until now. I'll be coming back for more noodles.“

“Not sure why this coffee shop has low stars on here. I visited two days in a row because I had a great experience. Staff was very polite and the Vietnamese ice coffee was excellent! Great location and plenty of seating. Will be coming here often. If you decide to work/study here bring your electronics charged I didn't see very many outlets.“

“Nice cafe to get a coffee at. Clean and the drinks came out good. They were understaffed the time I went in. Maybe CBTL can pay extra for the employees who are understaffed and doing more than 1 person’s work.Aside from that the coffee came out good, everything was clean. Parking was lot parking. I love the lattes.“
