50 Best Cafes near Valley Village

“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!“

“If you are looking for an authentic, kosher, Jewish bakery, it does not get any better than Schwartz Bakery. I always thought that Portos bakery was number 1, well that spot is now taken by Schwartz Bakery. Their blintzes with cheese are amazing. I was shocked to know that the cheese is actually dairy free (parve), but it has a full taste of actual cheese, not an easy task if you ever bought dairy-free products. The assortment is great as well, you can find anything from non sweet potato knishes to savory little chocolate rolls and poppy seed roulettes. The little challas are very delicious too. I honestly can say that out of dozens of items that I had tried there, I have not found one that was not tasty.“

“Great people! great coffee! Great food! An awesome environment ❤️“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“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.“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“Can’t wait to come back for a positive review after my first be bright pour-over as I think I had the best bean in North America and haven’t had a good quality of Geisha for long time.
I dropped by for a cold brew and grabbed a bag of “unique & surprising” to go and the barista shared a small cup of its cold brew for me to taste. I am glad i have tried because it was really surprised by its freshness and flavor and almost wanted to have another large cup of coffee if it’s not my first drink at that day of arrival after a 5 hr flight without a full meal😿
I followed the brew guide on the website but have cut half of the size and still get the same profile as I have had for cold brew.
I will definitely come back for other coffee drinks next time🙌
Nice staff with the chill atmosphere and a kids area provided which is rarely seen“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!

Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.“

“Extremely clean, well presented, and delicious homemade Oaxacan fare. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Great spread of juices/coffees/healthy beverage options as well. Feels family run. Everyone is kind and knowledgeable, and they are happy to tweak dishes at your request. Small place so best for groups of 4 or less. Probably seats 30 people total, with two outdoor tables (2 and 4-top)“

“I absolutely love this What A Peach location in Studio City! Their smoothies are always fresh and have some much flavor. Especiallyyyyy the “Peaches N Cream” was downright heavenly. Staff are always smiling, friendly, and super attentive — they remembered my usual order on my third visit, which really made me feel welcome. I’ll be back every weekend for my smoothie fix 🍑✨“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“I am excited to share the heavenly news that Doubting Thomas has been fully endorsed by the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ, King of Wings! Congrats Chef Naomi!“

“We made a fun “tea party”
Play date here and they were very aware of their gluten free options. My Celiac is beyond sensitive where as my daughters is not as bad. It was nice to have them be aware of things. I got a salad, she had a GF cupcake with her friend. Parking was ok, lots of seating indoor and outdoor, pretty space.“

“This place was a great surprise! I didn't realize this Cafe specializes in Persian food and coffee drinks. I had the sesame latte, which is just solid coffee combo. I also had the Spicy Shirazi wrap, which seemes a little pricey at first, but it was worth because which great Persian flavors. I will be coming back to try their other wraps!“

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

“Great new neighborhood spot! The food is healthy and delicious. Lots of variety on the menu so everyone should have a few excellent choices!“

“Love the atmosphere, great place to try authentic Turkish dishes ( İskender , dolma , mercimek çorba, Lahmacun) 😋😋😋🇹🇷🧿“

“Super riko selos recomiendo“

“Finally tried it 😄 After so many years of walking, hiking and running! Loved it and you must try it 👍🏽 I had the Good Day Latte (delicious) and my husband had a regular Latte with oat milk. For pastry we tried the lavender shortbread and blueberry/banana muffin 😋 Plenty of options to choose from! Enjoy 😁“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“Excelente servicio. Comida exquisita y saludable. 💯%Recomendable. Gracias.“

“They are a multi-roaster-cafe and carried at least two different local California roasters, Dune Coffee Roasters and Be Bright Coffee Roasters.

Since it was my first time visiting, I decided to go with a drink from their specialty menu. Since they were out of their espresso-esque called the Rising Flower Tonic ($7, comes with espresso, orange juice, osmanthus flower simple syrup, & tonic water) I went with a different orange-infused option.

Georgia On My Mind ($7) is made individually with espresso, oat milk, vanilla syrup, orange zest, then shaken in a cocktail shaker, and topped with a dehydrated orange slice. On the subject of the Georgia On My Mind drink having orange zest when named after the song: “Weird, it should’ve been peach. Georgia is the peach state.” - Joshua

Georgia On My Mind was initially a punch of very sweet, so much so that next time I thought I might ask for less syrup, but it very quickly grew on me and I loved it. The orange zest was the perfect amount of orange to be noticeable without overpowering, and I appreciate that they default to oat milk for this one because it was the perfect creaminess.

I cannot wait to go back and try another signature drink!! Even though it’s called Eyes Peeled, I did not spiiill.

We were easily able to find parking at a meter out front, and although there was a bit of a line when we arrived, but luckily it moved pretty quickly and the barista and cashier were very efficient with making drinks. They had the menu posted on the wall outside the door so you could start thinking of your order while waiting in line, and they had a larger menu once you get to the register.“

“This isn't a coffee shop. It's a communal space. The coffee is basically free if you think of your donation as more of a rental fee to be in this lovely communal space and have access to all that it offers. This place is ideal for making plans with business partners, writing scripts with friends, or just getting together for some time away from screens and computers. This place is tailored toward bringing diverse people together into one place to sharing ideas and stories with each other. As for the coffee and baristas both are fantastic. Cappuccino rocked me off my behind all day cuz I'm used to watered down crappuccinos from Starbucks. I love this place. This is where I bring friends that love good coffee and a peaceful conversation.“

“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.“

“This is a nice family-owned type place serving primarily Mexican and Mexican-inspired dishes. We went for breakfast and had omelettes - very tasty. The ambience is clean, quiet, and friendly. Prices are in line with the area (this is Hollywood after all) but trending to the more affordable end of the scale. There is a very nice outdoor seating area and a very small parking lot. There is more parking in the nearby area but you'll have to take a short walk. The service was fast, accurate, and attentive. Our overall experience was excellent and we've already decided to come back next time we're in this area.“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“Awesome healthy food! A ton of vegan options. And the price is great too. You'll meet alot of grassroots artists and cultural creatives here,as well as spiritual people. All tribes are welcome here!“

“Nice folk. Refills on coffee! What?!!“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

“We drive all the way from Santa Monica a lot! Rain or shine. It is worth the drive and their Tres Leches Latte is the best I’ve come across in LA - hot or iced. Love that it is a small business - support local! They have great seasonal drinks too.“

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“My wife found this great hole in the wall on our way back from Hollywood this morning. You can be pretty sure you're getting good coffee when there's an Aussie at the bar, but this fellow pulls great shots. Do yourself a favor and try this place out before some influencer discovers it and you need to wait in line to get some of this great brew. I imagine street parking can get dodgy in this neighborhood, but there's a public parking lots just a few steps away.“

“Did you know the LGBT Center has a cafe? Liberation Coffee House is all about community. The walls are lined with black-and-white vintage photography from past activism, and every dollar you spend goes straight into life-saving programs for the LGBT community. I know I sound like their marketing manager, but I’m so happy to have a queer space that isn't a bar. The overnight oats taste like a coconut rainbow in your mouth and the coffee is great too!“

“Maru has really Nice green tea latte. I usually leaning toward coffee and Maru’ coffee is super nice. But, their iced green tea latte is something else.“

“Great coffee, great pastries, and an easy vibe. Street parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, but it’s worth it once you’re inside. There’s outdoor seating if you want some fresh air, and it’s right by the LA River bike path which makes it a perfect stop before or after a ride. Consistently solid spot.“

“My bf & I have been coming here for going on 5 or 6 years now & aren't gonna stop bc this place is just that good & way better than any boba shop around!! The owners are very kind, sweet & have a great memory bc they know our orders by heart & other customers as well lol The drink I get too was bc I came to the owner asking him if he can make this drink I tried at a convention & he made his version which was wayy better. I love this place & will continue to recommend & show people 💗💗“

“The waitlist is insanely long only because their seating service is comically slow — we saw so many empty tables despite a 90 minute wait because they have a 10 minute grace period once you’re notified. With a restaurant this small, I feel like anything beyond 5 minutes is overly generous because otherwise you’ll have 20 parties on the waitlist grumbling on why we can’t be seated. Service otherwise was very nice, although they also seemed overwhelmed inside.

That being said, the chicken and waffles were so perfectly savory and sweet, slightly spicy and sour — that makes it worth going. The whipped honey butter was a perfect pairing as well. We ate on the Dine LA menu so we also got a first course of truffle toast, which was a solid toast with fluffy eggs and flavorful ham atop a soft yet crunchy sourdough. The truffle oil is 100% a cheat code to make anything feel more elevated!“

“This is my first stop when coming home to visit! My family has enjoyed these pastries since as long as I can remember. Some of my favs are the guava cheese strudel, picadillo empanadas, and their famous potato balls. Looking forward to my next visit, love watching the make window. 😋“

“The people at the Kawada Hotel recommended this wonderful diner. I walked in and fell in love with the place. I'm not a fancy person,but I may as well have been eating at a Michellin Stared restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly. I love ❤️ a good diner for breakfast. If I were to recommend something, it would be to have something other than plastic silverware. Bring the kids...“

“Don't walk.. RUN to kyucafe. Seriously. They use beans from a local roaster that always has quality beans. The staff is very friendly and the kimchi is 🔥

Grab a riceball for quick on the go breakfast or snack, made fresh every day! A very impressive addition to the neighborhood. So excited to see it. 💛“

“Peggy & George are so awesome!!! if you love matcha this is the place to grab!! the vibes of this place is so nice and vibrant with plants and vinyls and sunlight!! the vibes are nice, and the food & drinks are delish! i come back all the time as i love the drinks and the workers(:“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“The best thing about this spot is that you can take advantage of different offers up to 50% DAILY! Each day they have different brands included in the sale. For me, I don't mind trying new brands and new items so its actually a cool like test feature almost for me.“

“Coffees are really good, really good espressos. Highly recommend the aztec latte! Coffee is just ridiculously expensive. I pay total $8.40 for their large aztec latte with oat milk. Oat milk is an extra 1.50 and their large looks like a regular size. Their brownie is really dry but soft.“

“We loved this place so much on our four day trip that we went twice! The seasonal specials were so unique, we got the harry's bb (espresso, cream soda, butter, butterscotch, caramel, cream top, gold finish) and it blew our minds. Felt super indulgent yet well-balanced. Our cortado and macchiato were also delicious. The interior was very cool as well, it felt like we were in Europe. There were also lots of dogs in there which was so fun to see. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. Couldn't recommend more!“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“
