Saffy's Coffee & Tea

Sunny New Bakery and Coffee Destination Opens in East Hollywood | Eater LA

"I visited the coffee shop they opened next door on July 14 at 4845 Fountain Avenue; it offers a selection of whole loaves of bread, pastries, cookies, tea, and coffee brewed with beans from Silver Lake–based Cafecito Organico and served as cortados, lattes, and cold brew. A rotating selection of Menashe’s breads includes whole wheat challah and sourdough buckwheat sesame, while Gergis’s pastries rotate daily and might include blueberry coffee cake with streusel topping, boysenberry cheese danishes, and bourekas. Other options include yogurt with Lebanese pine nuts, Bill’s Bees honey, and nigella seeds, and buttermilk biscuits that can be topped with cultured salted butter and housemade jam or with ham, cheese, and mustard aioli. They also sell frozen five-packs of fluffy Bavel pitas to-go for $10; seating is limited to a handful of outdoor tables and eight counter seats inside, and the cafe is open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with seven-day service planned." - Eater
