13 Best Cafes in West Hollywood

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“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!“

“My husband and I stopped by for a late breakfast and were so happy we did. The food was delicious, the coffee was really good, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. You can tell this place is made with a lot of love and care.We’ll definitely stop by whenever we’re in the area.“

“This place is amazing. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches of my life. The bread is so fresh and soft and the tuna salad has like chickpeas in it and it’s just so flavorful and delicious. I love coming here and I always get the Matcha too!“

“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 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“

“The coffee is amazing and fresh. Great motorcycle nostalgia. Nice seeing Steven Tyler's triumph displayed, also has Steven McQueens jacket and goggles from one of his movies. Relaxing atmosphere inside and beautiful covered patio tables outside. 10 out of 10“

“Highly recommend! Such a great vibe!“

“The food is exquisite. A bit pricey but well worth it! If you're "a foodie" you'll appreciate it all! Eat Here ASAP! DELICIOUS! 5 star“

“My mom and I took Melting Pot Food Tours’ Old Pasadena Food & History Tour with Jody, and it was one of those experiences that manages to be genuinely fun while also giving you a much deeper sense of a place.

It’s a 3½-hour tour, and there were a ZILLION amazing, delicious bites along the way! Everything from tea and scones to Tibetan, Himalayan, Indian, Syrian, Venezuelan, and so many other incredible flavors. There really was something for everyone, including options for just about every dietary restriction you could possibly have. And I have to say, the Tibetan samosa was quite possibly the best I have ever had!!!

But the food was only part of what made the tour so good.

Jody knows how to tell the story of a place. We learned about Route 66 and so much more about Pasadena’s history, while walking through alleys, side streets and hidden throughways that I never would have found on my own. The connections between the history, the food, the businesses and the people made the whole experience feel like so much more than a series of food stops.

And Jody herself is a huge part of that. She knows these places. She knows the owners. She knows the people and their stories. You can tell these aren’t just stops on a tour for her — there are real relationships there, and she genuinely enjoys introducing you to the people behind these places. That personal connection is what makes this tour so special.

I also loved getting to see what makes Old Pasadena so unique. There is SO much history here, and so many different cultures and stories woven into the neighborhood. Jody brings all of that together in a way that makes you look at the streets around you differently!

The pacing was perfect. My almost 79 year old mom with a recent hip replacement was easily able to keep up. We covered a lot, but never felt rushed, and there was even time for shopping along the way, which my mother loved!

I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Old Pasadena beyond the obvious streets and tourist stops. Come hungry, wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared to eat, learn, wander, laugh and see Pasadena in a completely different way!!!“

“I randomly popped in here to grab lunch before my dentist appointment and it was so good!! I got an iced coffee (~$4) and a shrimp Caesar wrap (~$10). Both were delicious. I’m going to stop here every time I have to go to the dentist now :) It’s located just inside the 9201 building. It was very quiet when I went (11am).“

“Great atmosphere and even better sandwiches... i had some yummy drinks too. Next time I’ll try the coffee.“

“Cute restaurant. We already had a great time having a breakfast downstairs so we went for bruch last Sunday. After an icky start - getting a reservation was problematic- we really had a good time, the food was nice, and the service was immaculate. Sadly, the three of us were seated under a speaker. The music was so loud that we were hardly able to communicate - so for my recent visit we'd give three out of five stars. Both are easy fixes - and if they do, I am happy to give five stars on our next visit.“
