"This East Hollywood cafe is the kind of place that’ll make you want to pull out a notebook and start writing your memoir. Sunlight filters into the giant windows, and the lack of wifi doesn’t stop people from posting up with their laptops while sipping pistachio milk lattes. The food is mostly comforting classics done well, like a breakfast burrito with fluffy eggs and giant tots, syrup-soaked pancakes, and flaky pastries behind the counter. A quiet, jazzy playlist plays, and every table seems to be in its own bubble, working through something warm and buttery." - brant cox, cathy park

"The Melrose Hill cafe will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering a low-key holiday hangout where guests can have French toast made with Jyan Isaac bread and coffee to fuel the rest of turkey day." - Matthew Kang
"Café Telegrama is a snapshot of the times. If you’re reading this in 2034 (greetings from the Biden era), you’ll see what we mean: green tiles, muted decor, micro-influencers who “create” “content” at coffee shops. This East Hollywood cafe attached to Ètra—and from the same folks—is plagued with such clichés, but once you move past all that, it’s a nice place to exist with a $5 latte. This isn’t the most welcoming coffee shop in town. Street parking is a pain, it closes at 3pm, there’s no WiFi, and the wooden chairs cut off circulation to your left buttcheek after a half-hour. Rather than lingering for an afternoon, come to Café Telegrama for a pleasant lunch or quick coffee run. The food menu is decently long and varied, with things like a nicely spicy eggplant sandwich on a chewy baguette, a simple but effective soft scramble, and a spiced tea cake that’s denser than a memory foam pillow. Nothing is bad, nor will it blow you away, but it all looks pretty enough to share with your followers." - Sylvio Martins
