Black Elephant Coffee Steps Onto the Atwater Village Caffeine Scene Today | Eater LA

"A bright, wood-lined café on Glendale Boulevard next to Palette Food and Juice in Atwater Village, run by Gonzalo Otarola and Heidy Fu as a sister shop to Simply Coffee in Burbank. The shop focuses on takeaway salads and sandwiches rather than a full breakfast menu, stocks pastries from Bread Lounge and sweets from Cake Monkey, and uses Stumptown beans. The interior features a long communal table, small round wooden tables, and a large front window, with ample umbrella-shaded patio seating outside; free Wi‑Fi and daily hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. aim to make it a convenient neighborhood spot competing with nearby cafés like Kaldi Coffee, Proof Bakery, and Bon Vivant." - Farley Elliott
