“Always happy to have a reason to go to Voodoo Donut. My daughter and I hadn’t been to this location before and I got a jacket at half off. We tried the minion banana cream donut (I liked that the icing was still vanilla with the inner pudding being banana) and vicious hibiscus. Store was clean and I loved the decor. Great location 👍🏻🍩♥“

“Stay away from this hotel! Our experience in one of their rooms left me sick and completely ruined our trip. The room reeked of mold and dust, had poor ventilation, and severely affected my health. It made my breathing difficult, worsened my allergies, and caused lung issues. I spent nights coughing, congested, and unable to sleep. We couldn't adjust the air or heat because the forced air smelled strongly of mold and mildew, leaving us either too cold or too hot. To add to the discomfort, the windows were covered in condensation. I felt sick and exhausted the entire time we were in that room, and it only got worse as time went on. But it wasn't just about the room. We were in town for a comedy festival, excited to attend shows featuring top headliners. However, our anticipation turned into disappointment. I fell ill during the first show, had to leave one early, and missed two entirely. Unfortunately, the tickets were non-transferable with no refunds, resulting in a significant waste of money and missed opportunities for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Choosing this Hilton seemed logical, being one of the closest hotels to the main venue. However, we were shocked by the low quality of the room, especially considering it was on the executive floor. Although they moved us to a slightly better room on the last day to salvage some sleep before our departure, it was too little, too late. Our entire trip had already been ruined. While most of the hotel staff provided excellent service in the restaurant, at the door, and front desk, the poor quality of the room's environment was not their fault. The only issue we had was with the decision to assign us that room initially, the delay in moving us, and the lack of a refund for the entire stay. We ended up losing both money and experiences due to the room making me sick. Beware! You never know if you'll get a decent room or a sickening one at this hotel @hiltonuniversal“

“My friends and I stopped by this Starbucks in City Walk since we saw on Yelp and Google that they close at 2am. Other Starbucks closes at 8pm or 9pm so we decided to come to City Walk since my friend wanted his coffee. If you're a AMC Stub member then you should use your free ticket to take advantage of not paying full price for parking. This Starbucks location is on the 2nd floor now instead of the 1st floor in its old location. This Starbucks store isn't big, I think it's meant for just people to get their drink and relax outside in their outdoor seating area or to walk around City Walk. My friend got his black coffee and my other friend got the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. They enjoyed their drink but it did take a while to come out when they weren't that busy. When we left the store at 10pm, they started closing their door and said they were closed so we were surprise since we thought they close at 2pm.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly since it's inside City Walk, you'll just have to go to the second level since this Starbucks store moved.

Parking: You have to pay to park at the parking structure.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can take the elevator to the 2nd floor to get to Starbucks.“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“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've been there with my sister a couple months ago. We had Filipino iced coffee, matcha affogato and matcha cookies. We still can't forget the flavor of the drinks. Filipino iced coffee is our core memory of our trip to USA. The best coffee we've ever tasted.“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“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 food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“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.“

“Project Bloom Coffee is a charming little spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The pastries and drinks looked fresh and appealing, and the friendly service made the visit even more enjoyable. A lovely place to unwind, grab a coffee, and indulge in something sweet.“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“Phenomenal service and amazing Gelato in the Italian style from Argentina 🇦🇷. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, work, visit. They've even got a back patio with gorgeous umbrellas. Great wifi and also coffee options. Support local and come enjoy some of the best coffee and dessert in LA“

“Love this place, staff is friendly and owners too. coffee is great and I'm very picky about coffee! free Wi-Fi is nice too!“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Love this place and all the seating options. I only have 1 complaint which is the menu wording - “+ your choice of milk!” makes people assume alt milk is free when it’s 50c extra. We already know we have choice of milk!! just include it in the price or take it off the menu lol“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“Daily use of their matchas!“

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

“Grade A+ (96): Small little kitchen, don't know how much food can come out of it!! They have a small little sitting area, but we most often do it as take out. The Jambon Beurre (Ham and Butter) are my favorite, the Baguette 🥖 is awesome and they put a hefty amount of butter and French Ham very thinking sliced. The Ham & Cheese and the Chocolate Croissants are very good but you have to go early, by 12:30 they were sold out! The guys are very friendly, prices are a bit on the high side but what can you do, it's unique.“

“I always wanted to stop at this coffee olace and try it But never had the chance finally stopped. And walked in Beverly Hills and had their coffee. I took an Ice Cappuccino and it was phenomenal. My new favorite cap in town. Will be back for more items soon.“

“Pretty good! The dan dan noodle tasted great. The wonton soup was okay and the beef roll was a little lacking on meat. The Taiwanese sausage seemed a bit small for $7 but was pretty good.

Overall very reasonable prices and the food is pretty decent.“

“Best Breakfast in Hollywood! We love it. Also the people they work there, are very friendly. Easy parking in front of the restaurant. Aircondition and relaxed music... So let us start in the day perfectly! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“Love the Pink Latte just as much as I loved my experience with the Manager Sam. Great staff, wonderful service. ill definitely be back.“

“New favorite coffee shop alert 😍 absolutely loved this place. The sugar cookie cream top latte half sweet was PERFECT! Dream latte. Also their almond milk is so delicious. Very nutty. And their breakfast burrito was absolutely perfect.
On top of it, the staff was super friendly which is always an additional star. Definitely will be back.“

“*This is a cashless operation*

I walk in and 무풍상태 by Happy End Plus Alpha is playing. I think to myself someone here has great taste in music.

Three guys are standing behind the counter and all three instantly greet me and are super friendly. Explaining the menu and what they think I should try.

I took their suggestions and went with it.

All of their coffee has at least 3-4shots of espresso so be prepared to be full of energy.

Sorry I didn’t get a picture of the menu I was too busy in conversation with the baristas.

This place is easy to miss and pass by.

If you’re headed down Sunset and see that little green building make sure you stop. This might be one of the best coffee spots in the area.“

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend“

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

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“I have a business nearby, so I come to Pura Vida Beverly Hills often for lunch, coffee, and sometimes breakfast. Their All Green Smoothie is absolutely bombastic—my favorite! The food is always incredibly fresh, the coffee is great, and the croissants are delicious.

The service is consistently 10/10, and the whole place has a fun vacation vibe that makes every visit enjoyable. If you’re in Beverly Hills and looking for a healthy, fresh meal or a great coffee, I definitely recommend stopping by!“

“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)“

“I loveeee this place!!! definitely one of my fav matcha spots ever! the service will always be one of my favorites as well :). ive tried all of their matchas on the menu and my favorite is the banana cream matcha. all of their syrups are made in house and taste sooo good!“

“I just want to say that ADAM that works here is truly a gem. He is the sweetest and kindest person and I wish there were more people like him in the world. I love you Adam! You made my night! Thank you Adam for making my experience so amazing and unforgettable! Also, obsessed with the potstickers here !“

“I genuinely love this place the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the fresh juices they serve. Everything tastes authentic, from the food to the drinks, and you can tell they really care about quality.

It’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to relax. Highly recommend checking it out if you appreciate great flavors and a welcoming vibe.“

“I've been wanting to visit Pam's Coffy for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance.

At first glance, the whole place feels very Tarantino. Colorful, vintage, obscure movie posters, CRT TVs playing VHSs, and about 50 empty cereal boxes.

The menu leans into that cereal sugary sweetness. We got the banana pudding latte and the captain crunch latte. They were delicious, but definitely more like desserts. On the way out, though, I grabbed a drip coffee, which they keep ready in old-fashioned diner style Bunn carafes, another fitting touch.

The pastry was pretty good, and you can also get bowls of Captain Crunch which is super fun.

If you're a Tarantino fan, or even if you're not and you like dessert-y coffee, er, Coffy - give this place a shot. You'll have a good time.“

“I LOVE this place! They have happy hour from 3pm-6pm on the weekdays, but the best part is Joy the amazing Barista! She is very nice and will always make your day! I get so much school work done here! 1000 stars!“

“This restaurant is amazing and I cannot wait to come back. Perfect spot for dates and seeing friends while enjoying incredible izakaya cuisine. Our server, Allison, was very insightful about the menu and made sure our experience was lovely & very delicious.“

“Delicious coffee, latina owned and operated very nice establishment. Beautiful Salvadorian culture“

“Sophia was an INCREDIBLE server, whilst the food was phenomenal she made the entire experience so special and worth every penny. Highly recommend for a special occasion or elegant but still slightly casual date night. Will definitely be coming back and hopefully with miss Sophia as our server again!“

“It's a nice quiet atmosphere the workers are very nice and polite very friendly the pistachio coffee is bomb my daughter gets the machi machi idk what it's called but she is very tough to please when it comes to her coffee but she loves this spot she loves loves it every time she's in my area she'll wanna stops here to get her coffee love you Monique 💋“

“Lovely family business. Great food & drinks, easy parking, inside & outside seating, affordable prices & totally relaxed & comfy athmosfere!“

“Excellent cappuccino with rich, smooth flavor and perfectly balanced foam. The cozy atmosphere and fresh pastry selection make this little coffee shop an absolute gem. Everything tasted fresh, warm, and made with care. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“the option of pistachio milk. the pastries are fantastic.“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“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.“

“The owner and the atmosphere is 10/10. She loves working there and locals like her too. The music and the vibe are great - its cozy and warm inside. My bagel was 4/5 - I wish it had pickled onions instead of the raw ones and a better dressing for the salad - it was bland. The bagel was tender and the amount of smoked salmon was right. I might come back to try something else next time“

“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!“
