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!“

“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“

“Really amazing and very good food. I was a table of one and was able to sit down within 15 minutes compared to usual hour long wait.

I got the HK style french toast, very sweet and more of a dessert but it was amazing nonetheless. Second item i got was the cold sesame noodle (no chicken) and i’ve never had this amazing dish before and it was life changingly good.

Funny story but they threw away my food while i was in the bathroom for two minutes but they apologized and gave me a free meal to go and pastry. I didn’t care that much but happy they fixed an error!

Will come back again def“

“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 🍑✨“

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

“Second time here, first time I had lunch. This time I tried the breakfast quesadilla with grilled chicken & spinach, guacamole and salsa garnish. Delicious! We also ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs, another winner! Both came with fresh fruit. Ordered the Berry ice tea and split a red velvet cheesecake bar. Service was prompt, tea refills and boxes to go. The atmosphere is so quaint and cute. Dine in front of the fireplace, on the front porch, back yard or out front. You decide. Order at counter when you enter and don’t pass the yummy desserts!“

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

“Absolutely amazing to see a third space like this when its become increasingly difficult to find them nowadays. Place was packed with college students and being in such a lively place made studying a lot more enjoyable. The place almost seems too good to be true as you can set your own prices for whatever you order so long as its over a dollar; your first order is actually free! I got the vanilla oatmilk latte and was shocked at just how good it is. I wish I knew about this place sooner knowing i've been paying $7.50 for coffee that wasnt as good. Will definitely be coming back whenever I have the chance.“

“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.“

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

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

“Some of the best espresso I've had during my LA visit! This is a no-frills spot for to go coffee, with small street-side tables as a seating option. The owner's passion for coffee really shows - you can tell he pays meticulous attention to every shot he pulls.

It's a fantastic place for a cortado, cappuccino, or latte. The espresso itself is dark and rich, with a careful balance that makes every sip delicious. If you want quality coffee without the fuss, this is your spot!“

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

“The ham croquettes reminded me of Spain. The meat pies were delicious and so were the empanadas.“

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“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!“

“This is one of the best little coffee shops in los angeles in my opinion. The vibes here are immaculate.You're surrounded by nature.They have a fantastic breakfast menu, including a thing called an egg in a basket which is my favorite.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“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(:“

“Been going for years they make their own boba the customize to your liking to an exact T my family loves this place will continue to go forever great customer service yummy food and they are personably and know you by name and voice super nice people amazing place!“

“As the only place to get food at the Villa, you are a captive audience, but at least they do a decent job with the feed.

FOOD: A variety of wraps and burgers and salads -- nothing earthshaking, but tasty and of decent proportions. Indeed, I was surprised by the amount of garlic fries that came with my burger.

SERVICE: Everyone was nice. Food, prepped fresh, came pretty promptly.

AMBIANCE: The place is clean and well kept, in the architecture of the modern additions to the Villa complex.

VALUE: The food is pricey. Very pricey. You know how amazing it was that there was no entrance fee (parking notwithstanding)? This feels like where they make a bit of that back.

On the other hand, it is (a) tasty and (b) the only game in town.“

“I love this place! Maybe one day, my state will have full recreation. For now, I will happily indulge while on vacation. Btw, their prices were LESS than what I paid for my medical. The staff was amazing and I hope I can come back again before I leave!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 😁“

“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.“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“the mimosas are fabulous!😍“

“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.“

“I’m in LOVE with these donuts!!! Not to mention how sweet they are in there!!! So nice, incredible donuts that are BETTER than the “other” big donut place out here.... Sorry Cali, Crafted is the place!!!!“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“Cool vibe, great Lox Bagel“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I love Cravings’ food and the fact that it has so many options to pick from. Their menu has a great variety, it’s quite impressive. Shane and his wife are very friendly and provide a great service. I have ordered meals from daily lunch to catering food for the office and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place. Prices are accessible too.“
