Great spot to get some work or reading done. Also love their prayer or meditation area. It’s such a wonderful coffee shop. Usually Raadia is there when we go and she’s such a kind and friendly soul, always so helpful and customer focused.”

“An original and welcoming atmosphere. The owner gives a shit without giving a shit. Really though, this place just works...from the creative and satirical food and drink menu boards and other entertaining signage, to the consistent quality of the food and coffee- The Melody Maker is a unique fusion of guitar and music enthusiast vibes with thoughtfully crafted breakfast sandwiches with almost every coffee flavor you could think up. I personally favor the pistachio.”

“My wife and I took our 3 year old daughter to check out this new coffee shop after it came up in a Google search. Let me say I had not met the couple that owns the shop before today, and yet I have never felt so invested in wanting to see a new shop succeed as much as I did this one! The owners are a lovely young couple, extremely friendly, and accommodating. They love what they do and it shows in the quality of the food. I ordered the Pi (egg sandwich) and a cold brew coffee. Both were excellent. They roast their own coffee beans and it had just the right amount of roasted coffee flavor. There were a dozen other things I wanted to try, including the creme brulee cheescake, the baklava cheese cake, and the Greek pies. My wife got a hot coffee with almond milk, mocha and peppermint. I like my coffee creamy, and this was the first coffee with almond milk that tasted good to me. I have found my new favorite coffee shop in the area. Whatever you're doing, drop it and visit Coffee & Pi now!”

From the beginning of cake tasting and sitting down with Mara to come up with what we wanted for our day to the day of the event we have nothing but great things to say. We wanted something simple and chose a smaller cake to cut into and a total of three different flavors cakes for guests (red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting, chocolate cake and raspberry frosting, and lastly vanilla cake and vanilla frosting for those who like to keep it simple). The cakes were so moist and flavorful. Our guests couldn’t stop saying how delicious they were and where they were from. We even got an anniversary cake that we cannot wait to eat again. We are so grateful and thankful for this bakery and making our bellies full and tastebuds so happy. 🥰”

“Stopped by Infused Cafe and ordered the açaí bowl, and it was excellent. The fruit was fresh, the açaí was rich and smooth, and the toppings were balanced perfectly — banana, strawberries, granola, powdered milk, and condensed milk all worked together without being too heavy. You can tell when a place takes pride in what they serve. The bowl was clean, fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the better açaí bowls I’ve had in the area. The café itself has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and Nathalia clearly puts care into the business. Great food, good service, and a place I would gladly come back to. Highly recommend Infused Cafe.”

Yesterday morning I ate two honey-dipped (glazed?) donuts followed by the cheesey bagels for breakfast, and they are absolutely phenomenal. And, according to my doctor, I've managed to lose 10 lbs. while eating your donuts and bagels once a week for about 2 months - so you must make magic donuts! Cannot wait to come and take my family to your little piece of culinary heaven!”

I've had a couple times when it's crispy perfect! last FOUR times so fatty you can't even eat it! I was hoping for a message me button so this was not public, but couldn't find one. im NOT one to complain but this has happened more than I think it should.”

Blank Street Coffee Lands in Los Angeles, With Ice Cream on the Way
Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News. The Brooklyn-born coffee and matcha chain opened its first West Coast cafe on Aug. 12 at 13273 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighborhood with deep roots in the entertainment business.

Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd
Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
