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!!! 🤩“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

“The service was amazing, the girls were great. They had just turned the oven off and my son wanted a croissant and the girls were nice enough to turn it back on just to make it! Definitely recommend this place. Also got their strawberry horchata latte it was delicious. Will definitely come back“

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

“Super riko selos recomiendo“

“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!“

“I stopped by Yagul Cafe and had my first ever Oaxacan latte, it was a very big cup, full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Such a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was incredibly comforting and delicious.

Everyone at the cafe was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“i had an incredible experience at this brunch spot! the service was top-notch. very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. the food came out surprisingly fast, which was a pleasant surprise, and everything i ordered was absolutely delicious. 10s across the board on the food! i ordered the “you make me wake up happy” meal. the food had so much flavor, and the presentation was beautiful too. highly recommend for anyone looking for a yummy brunch outing. i’ll definitely be back here again!“

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

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Los Angeles, bar none. The coffee is always consistent and delicious. Also the setup & branding is very cute.

The owner is personable and a joy to talk to every time I go to Rabbits Coffee. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I came here for breakfast, and we were looking forward to trying espresso and croissants.

Overall, we’re very pleased with their croissant. We thought it was the best croissant we had tried while visiting LA for a short period of time.

We ordered:
2 Espresso
1 Croissant
Total: $16.14 with tips

Price-wise, it was okay. The waiting time also was decent. Great coffee and fresh, tasty, and great quality of croissant. We noticed they served everything on the go or for takeaway instead of in a proper cup or plate. Other than that, satisfied customers. Happy to recommend 🤗😀“

“Kyucafe was highly recommended by friends and family, so I gave it a try! Drinks are made with care and precision, the prepared food is extremely fresh and perfectly portioned! They have the viral self-service Korean ramen stations as well!! Plentiful parking in the back! Will be coming back!!“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“Maybe the best cinnamon roll I have ever had. Not overly sweet, or too buttery, or yeasty. Cooked enough and perfectly balanced. The Chai latte was just right. Very rich in flavor, very nice tea. Not too hot either. Staff is friendly and the place is well kept. Good music as well.“

“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 🍑“

“Want to get connected with nature and have an amazing meal! This was just what er needed on our hike. The food was so fresh and delicious. You still can connect with nature while getting healthy food. Very kid workers, and it was nice that they provided water for free. If you are hiking, take the time to get more energy and good food!“

“Todo esta rico aun que una ves compre muchos para un evento y se desisieron“

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

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

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“Their matcha is definitely better than most if not all places in LA; the fragrance of the matcha tea flavour was nice and distinct thought not strong; still pretty creamy overall. The salted foam on the matcha spanner is delicious.
Their breakfast sliders were delicious, mostly because of the sauces and freshness.
Be prepared to wait in line 30-60+ mins on weekends, especially with the rhode collaboration happening this month. We waited just about an hour last weekend when the line ended right around the end of the block.“

“Greater with kindness as we entered. Wasn’t too crowded and the vibe was very chill. Tha design inside is very cool and beautiful. Love all the plants!

We weren’t able to try other dishes but with just based on these sammies we will be back for sure. The sammies were super fresh and delicious. We got on full veg and one with ham.

We also got a bunch of their desserts as and everyone of them were ssoooo good. Everything was a great price as well.“

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“I can't say enough good things about James and Virtu Coffee in DTLA! James is not only super nice and chill, but he also genuinely cares about his customers. His coffee is consistently amazing, and he always goes the extra mile for repeat customers with great deals. It’s rare to find a spot where both the vibe and the coffee are top-notch, but Virtu Coffee nails it. Highly recommend stopping by and trying their coffee and pastries!“

“Wonderful experience very friendly“

“The food was great and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“Most unusual brunch with chef driven latkes deep fried to look like rye bread. Pickled lox was purple along with crème fresh and capers. Very filling. . . Only thing was the outside chairs were metal and needed cushions. Find used hotel chairs. Otherwise it was great. Bravo“

“We found this cafeteria because it was the only one open after 9pm but we were so happy to discover this hidden gem 💎🩷 we would definitely go back if we have the chance. Coffee was great, the staff were super friendly, the tiramisu was also amazing.“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“Beautiful space, friendly service, and the best cold brew in the city. I took my camera here yesterday. The light is so nice, there’s usually always a table. The baristas remembered my order! Parking can be hard but it’s worth it. My new spot!“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Sabor y Cultura on our interview date. Hollywood’s Sabor Y Cultura has a clear goal of wanting to bring together as many people as possible with the power of coffee, waffles, arts, and events. It’s really no wonder that Michael enjoys hosting his Outlaws Of Folk series here with its quirky color scheme, spacious floor plan, eye-catching artwork from local artists, and of course, a lovely staff that strives to make sure any patron is comfortable and having a great experience. Apart from the sheer kindness from shop owner Tyler to allow us to film Michael’s interview there, I was graced with a food and drink menu that had me torn on what exactly I wanted to order, in a good way. In the end, I just could not say ‘no’ to the sweet, fresh baked smell of waffles, and opted for a #foodporn worthy strawberry banana Belgian waffle and a dream-y sweet cloud coffee with Irish cream. Whether you’re stopping in to indulge yourself with a scrumptious (and giant!) homemade Belgian waffle with a side of caffeinated perkiness, or you’re sitting in the crowd waiting to discover your new favorite poet, musician, comedian, etc. at one of the many events hosted (check their delightful chalkboard list of events), Sabor Y Cultura is a wonderful spot for visitors from all walks of life to pop in.“

“Immediately after I walked in I was greeted in a real way and asked what I was feeling like. They made me the special they have currently which was delicious. I also bought their Everything Bagel Croissant which was also delicious and unique. Geeky vibe with cozy energy. Excited to return.“

“it was exactly what we were looking for and definitely will be back! Delicious fresh thoughtful food, something for everyone. As a vegetarian I was delighted at the options. I had the roasted cauliflower and yam salad and it was scrumptious. Not to mention they have outdoor seating in the shade which is lovely and they welcomed my doggies with a bowl of water and chunks of chicken! thanks!“

“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...“

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

“OMG This restaurant is a rare find!! The food, the service and the atmosphere are amazing! We had a shrimp wrap and chicken breast panini that were filled with so much more large shrimp and chicken breast than I’ve seen at any restaurant in LA! The baklava dessert was excellent. And the coffee was really delicious and served in unique coffee cups. The staff were super friendly and just the perfect amount of attentiveness. And the atmosphere was absolutely unique with greenery on the ceiling throughout with skylights interspersed. We will definitely make this a frequent restaurant stop!“

“The drinks are so thoughtfully crafted and their potato chips are done fresh! The worker there was kind enough to offer me a reccomendation and she was incredibly understanding. I'll definitely be going again for that drink and those potato chips!“

“Very friendly group there. They had information available about all the cats and you could tell they loved where they worked. The cats are obviously well cared for and the facility is well maintained. I was impressed with the entire experience and will definitely be back.“

“They needed better air conditioning and accurate time for pick up food was cold.“
