Come for the environment! This is a special atmosphere. The shaded outdoor space is beautiful. Fair warning, it’s not ideal for studying— pretty much all benches and very low stools. Also there are a few cushioned chairs but the rest is very hard seating, so may need to bring a cushion if you’re staying for a while. But it’s a great place to sit and reflect, journal, read, or catch up with friends. A small window with books you can read while you’re there, or rent/buy. Live DJ also makes it very fun! They have great music selection here and it’s a good vibe.
Coffee is fine, nothing special but certainly not bad. A bit pricey, but typical LA.
Service is not consistent— one barista was very sweet and came around taking everyone’s trash as we sat, but another barista was not attentive. My friend and I stood waiting to order without any acknowledgement, then she took my friend’s order and walked away without saying anything and without taking my order. Not personally a big rub for me, it is what it is, just something for potential visitors to anticipate.
All that to say, definitely check it out if you’re in the area, just be aware that the reason it’s popular is the setting.
