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.😋😋“

“Love it me gusta mucho la amabilidad y tienen los chilaquiles mas deliciosos que e probado 👌😋😋“

“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!!!“

“This place just feels like a warm hug. The interior is filled with lush plants, mismatched vintage furniture, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I tried their signature lavender honey latte and it wasn't overly sweet, just right. The baristas are super friendly and remember the regulars. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book on a rainy afternoon“

“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“If you add protein powder to a bowl, you will be raw dogging it. Thought it would be mixed in… if you let it melt a bit you can mix it in yourself. I was, however, impressed w the amount of fruit they give you. The front worker was sweet. Shaded outdoor seating available. It’s a cute vibe.“

“Hidden gem! Tried out the peanut butter and banana shake, which was pretty descent. The chicken pesto sandwich was DELICIOUSNESS. It hit the spot.
Tried the fruit mousse dessert, raspberry and strawberry and they were gooood. But the real star of the show was Bella, the owners dog! She sat next us while we enjoyed our lunch :) the staff was super friendly and welcoming!“

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

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

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

“I've been to Toastique multiple times at this point, and I will definitely be returning! Everyone there is so welcoming and kind! Even the look and feel of the restaurant are so inviting that I want to keep going back. I've gotten a smoothie (that I've forgotten the name of, but it was good!) and the Cure Juice which were both very tasty and I'd highly recommend checking it out!“

“I love this place. The food is excellent. The vibe is wonderful. The only issue is that the lids on the coffee cups do not stay on. If you walk even a few feet it will instantly leak out the side. It happens every time whether it’s 2 cups or one cup. We know this is a fixable problem.“

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

“Beutiful place outdoors with trails right across the road if you decide to do the trails the short one to the right after crossing the road there's running water very cool lots of plants and lots of benches to sit at and enjoy the greenery awesome place.“

“Tastes great, not expensive, good service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“BEST CATERING. LOVE this Place!

I cannot express how thankful I am to know I can count on Float Hollywood! I was stressed about Easter, and I called Joyce, the owner and asked if she can do last minute catering. She was quick to response, attentive and planned my event and prepared an amazing cheese board, Lemonade in a gorgeous crystal dispenser and the most amazing sandwiches! The catering arrived on time, carefully displayed on white ceramic trays/ wood platters. I have hired Float for all my corporate special events
And my family celebrations. Float is amazing! No leftovers! Everyone loved everything. Thank you Float!“

“Milly was very respectful and attended to our needs. She was very quick to attend to my big party of 12 people. 10/10 service.“

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

“We visited LA for 5 days, and mostly all the lattes were disappointing. On the last day we found Rabbit’s coffee and he crushed it. Great guy, genuinely happy that you are there to get coffee. And he sends you off with excellent coffee. I even learned a few things about how to make my lattes at home even better. Skip everything else, go to rabbits coffee!“

“I enjoy a specialty coffee shops.. and this one hits the spot just like their coffee and pastries...
Was on business travels and enjoyed walking 2 blocks over to this place for great espresso.. great service with gentle kindness (we need more of this in this current world)... and a great banana loaf perfectly moist and size and well balanced sweetness. I came three times in three days. Thank you Lena.

Nice seating outside for people watching and ample room for morning or afternoon breaks...inside seating aswell.. cozy and comfortable.

Thank you. I shall be back next time im here on business again. Soon.“

“Stumbled on this place by myself! The owners were so sweet and attentive. Feels very cozy and clean. A great place to post up for work.
The coffee was delicious and the food was right up there with it. I got an off menu salmon tartine that she recommended and then treated myself to the pancakes. Delicious and will come back!!“

“Great Vibes ~ cool 😎 peeps ~ delicious food“

“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 was our first restaurant after arriving from the East Coast, and it set the bar high. The food was so good that we came back the very next day!

Everything tasted fresh, and you could really tell the fruits and vegetables were high quality. The meals were flavorful, satisfying, and generously portioned. We had breakfast around 11 a.m. and honestly didn’t feel hungry again until about 6 p.m.

The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the smoothie, it was a little too milky for my taste. But the lattes were excellent and definitely worth ordering. Overall, a great spot with fresh, delicious food, and I’d absolutely recommend it.“

“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!“

“This place is pretty amazing !!! They know all there products very good willing to help you find just what you are looking for very good service“

“Delicious food and drinks. Perfect place to stop in for a snack on break, in between classes or just because.

The owners are the sweetest people on this planet. They do their very best to give you the best service and food/drinks. I’ve been coming here for years and will continue to do so.“

“Overall 5 stars, the coffees and breakfast sliders were wonderful. Absolutely worth the wait, but I do have to give 4/5 stars for service and atmosphere simply because I feel as though if they put slightly more effort into the customer experience side of things, this place could be a chain with a cult following. Everything else that they're doing is right, but the line to get it (although justified) could be made a more pleasant experience just by hiring a simple greeter to stand outside, talk to guests, and keep the line moving along steadily.“

“I’ve been here a number of times because I love it! The service is excellent. The food is delicious. I often have the bagel and lox and cream cheese, or the miso salmon bowl if it’s more for lunch. Best quality lox I’ve ever had, and I’m from BC. Large bagels and tons of red onions, capers & tomatoes. Generous portions, the salmon also. My table has had salads and pancakes and tuna melts. Lama Lo gets it right. Great, hot foamy lattes. Also a great buzz to the place - lively and no one hurries you, you can stay for ages. I’m a huge fan.“

“Fantastic first experience! service was friendly and kind. Resturant is clean, metered parking on the street, and service was perfect for a fast stop. They roast their own beans right in house!

Certainly will be back during my visit to LA!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This place was the cutest but it doesn’t stop there. The service was amazing; everyone we encountered from the hostess to the person who took payment for our bill was so kind and happy to help/answer questions. The menu had a great selection and the avocado toast and burrito were so good! Portions were generous. Also loved the drink selection, I had a hibiscus mimosa (first time ever, but definitely not the last time!).“

“Excellent food and service! Absolutely perfect breakfast. Hot, delicious, HUGE portions. The best chai tea latte I've ever had it - it puts Starbucks to shame. The meal was esthetically a work of art (see photo). The menu said two eggs, but it looked like five. Great French toast - better than I can make myself. Needless to say, I highly recommend Joey's Cafe!“

“Good coffee shop with hip neighborhood vibe! Cool place to catch up with friends or go for a date. Seating is limited, and no outlets to charge your phone or laptop. They roast beans in house, so coffee always fresh. I went there on Saturday and they were slammed entire morning, but line was moving fast and drink were coming out quickly.“

“Cool vibe, great Lox Bagel“

“Love this place!! I had heard about it but never got the chance to go until this weekend and I was so pleasantly surprised. I got the avocado toast with the brown sugar latte and it was sooo good!!! The staff was really friendly and I personally really thought the avocado toast was rave worthy.“

“Great espresso nice vibes“

“I stopped by Landmark Cafe this past weekend to check it out since I work at UCLA and it’s not too far—and when I tell you this place did not disappoint… it was so yummy all around 😋.

I’ve honestly never seen such a calm and perfect coffee shop in LA. Not only do they use quality ingredients, but the service and the amount of seating both inside and outside are EVERYTHING!!

I ordered a hot tea and the avocado toast, and the avocado toast was perfect. The balance with the feta cheese was so incredible. And as for parking (since we all know that’s a huge make or break when checking out a new spot in LA)—there’s plenty of garage parking as well as street parking that’s highly accessible and near the coffee shop 😉.

I highly recommend checking this place out!
5 stars and will def be back 🔜!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Cha Cha Matcha is such a fun spot — really bright, aesthetic, and just a whole vibe.

The matcha is the highlight, really good quality and super smooth. I tried one of their drinks and it was refreshing without being too sweet.

The WeHo location has such a nice sitting area, and the decor feels really elevated — lots of plants, beautiful old cane chairs, and just a really well-designed space.

Perfect for a casual catch-up or just sitting and enjoying the space.

Definitely a cute spot if you’re into matcha and want something light and easy“
