Jae ParksNovember 13, 2011Ice coffee, 4 pumps half n half & 3 squirts liquid sugar is the sh#@!!!! Pumpkin spice muffin is only seasonal so make sure to try before the end of the year
ShawAugust 11, 2014One can get adequately caffeinated here for under two bucks. Minus brownie points for would-be hipsters smoking/vaping out front
Tasty food, sandwiches, soups, salads... lots if healthy good options. Service friendly but don't be in a hurry, a bit "hipster-laid back" slow.
Melissa Richardson Banks aka Downtown MuseOctober 24, 2012Be sure yo get the rosemary sourdough bread for the grilled cheese sandwich, and add avocado and tomato.
Tom OkerlundDecember 28, 2009Organic and earthy, this coffeehouse in the bowels of Los Angeles' Arts District will feed your need to go bohemian. Refill was discounted a whopping .25! LOL. Still, the wifi is free *_*
Hallifax JAugust 9, 2012Smokey inside. They don't quite have proper ventilation, so it can get a bit painfully smokey inside the cafe. My eyes keep tearing up. Only major dislike.
Alisha HonoréJanuary 27, 2012Best cafe in town try the grilled cheese but add turkey and tomato...amazing
I just met the Gluten Free Goddess - she does exist! Chocolate Chip square melts in yo mouth!
Their SW quesadilla is amazing. Customer Service is decent when business is slow. Otherwise don't expect much in that area.
John RyanJanuary 30, 2013Great value coffee. A latte's nearly half the price of Starbucks… and much tastier!
Get the pizza grilled cheese of the month before it's too late
