50 Best Cafes near Van Nuys

“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!“

“Delicious saltenas, we order 20 at a time for our family celebrations.😋😋“

“Garcia brothers Cafe is absolutely amazing. The staff is very attentive. The food is killer. The atmosphere, ambiance is amazing. Absolutely my favorite Cafe.“

“I wish they had more food options... but what they have is delicious and affordable! And the place looks amazing! ^_^“

“Excelente lugar y ambientes agradable.. Buenísimo café!!!“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was 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“

“Cool place to get Argentinean goodies... Gaby, the owner, is the best! My family loves her 🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷“

“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 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.“

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

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

“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 😁“

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“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.“

“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.“

“THIS PLACE RULES. A secluded and tucked café with coffee and food in Hollywood. It’s on a closed lot, but there are signs pointing to the parking lot to find the café. You do not have to work here to come to Dukes. I usually come here when I get my car wash or get my car worked on while I wait. They have reach in cooler for RTD drinks, super dank, massive burgers, but I always opt for their sandwiches because they’re on point. Everyone that works here is super cool, down to earth and professional. If you want hot sauce, they’ll let you select from a secret arsenal. Love this place.“

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

“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. 😋“

“This Bakery is Beyond amazing 👏 😍 They make fresh fruit smoothies :^) they have multiple milk options 😋 They offer fresh juices that are healthy, yet delicious. They have delicious sandwiches. Their homemade cookies are amazing 👏 They go above and beyond to make you feel at home 🏡 they have AC and it's comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and provides a sound blocking experience. I will definitely be coming back. 😌 Thank you all for providing us a healthy energizing breakfast!“

“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.“

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 💗💗“

“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.“

“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(:“

“The matcha einspanner was nothing short of amazing. They use Rocky’s blend which is socially questionable since it’s not a Japanese brand and high retail pricing but who are we kidding they nail it with the matcha flavor profile: Asian American’s favorite-nutty and umami. And pairing it with the cafe’s cream foam makes the drinks creamy and just sweet enough! This was my favorite matcha drink in LA.“

“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!“

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

“Everything here tastes wonderful. Whatever you order, you'll have a hard time finding a place that does that better. I live in OC but whenever I have business in the area, I make sure to pick up a drink and 1 or 2 pounds of coffee beans.
Also, I don't know if this is new or I was just not aware but they do teas too! Not really my thing but I had an iced mint tea the other day that was amazing 🤩
Oh and the people are awesome too lol can't leave them out 😁“

“WoW , the food , the view, Supernice Crew . Worth everything ! We come back . / Swedish Guests“

“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.“

“the mimosas are fabulous!😍“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“My daughter and I had a great lunch here. Great staff, and the menu is extensive, with much variety. She eats vegetarian, and had good choices.“

“Cool vibe, great Lox Bagel“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“We had a great time at tea. Our server. Karen, was very attentive and went out of her way to make our tea a positive experience. The food was tasty and offered a nice variety of sandwiches and desserts. The Getty is a wonderful location for tea.“

“Food was amazing even though i asked for no maple syrup yet they put maple syrup on my breakfast pizza. Please note this is not the place to come if your catching up with friends and family. They will and did kick us out after 1 1/2 hours despite a long wait for the food.“

“Been here twice with my daughter - Got my husband the chai tea latte and I got the day dream, both delish. Great service everyone’s been super friendly. I even left my phone the second time and the girl came outside to give it back to me before I walked too far. Will be back!“

“This is one of my favorite breakfast places!! They have excellent service and are incredibly fast. Especially Tam, he is always rushing to help my family. He memorized my order and would always input it into the computer as soon as he saw my husband order for takeout! lol. Go check this place out!!“

“I absolutely love Cafe Grano! Their lattes are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly creamy, rich, and beautifully crafted. The vibe of the cafe is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly and attentive, which makes every visit a pleasure. If you’re a latte lover, this place is a must-try!“

“The best flat white ever Just right espresso to milk ratio“

“Great place to have a good boba and they also have some good food in their menu. Good service too and friendly staff.“
