"You might not be drinking, but you’re definitely interested in other so-called vices. The Original Cannabis Cafe is the first - and at the moment, only - cannabis cafe in the city. They don't have a liquor license, and even if they did, people probably wouldn't be downing cocktails - they'd be taking hits out of massive bubblers. They’ve got a whole menu of options you can smoke/consume inside the restaurant, from pre-rolls and fresh flower to infused teas and chocolates. Obviously, this isn’t the place to come if you’re abstaining from all substances, but if you’re doing the whole California Sober thing, this is - quite literally - the only place to go out." - brett keating
"When I looked at how West Hollywood’s Cannabis Cafe has operated since opening in 2019, I noted the owners devised a workaround by presenting patrons with two separate checks when they order food with a pre-rolled joint—one from the cannabis side and one from the restaurant—meaning they have to pay two different taxes and maintain separate payrolls as both a restaurant and a cannabis lounge." - Mona Holmes
"Private Reserve is located on Santa Monica Boulevard near La Cienega Boulevard with a feature that sets it apart from its restaurant-oriented predecessors of the Cannabis Cafe, Artist Tree, PleasureMed, and the Woods: Private Reserve serves smokeable and drinkable cannabis that can be enjoyed on the premises — and nothing else." - Mona Holmes
"Since its 2019 opening as West Hollywood’s first cannabis lounge, the Cannabis Cafe has been a flagship of the city’s Emerald Village approach to legal consumption; before tax and tip a burger, nachos, coffee drink, and pack of pre-rolls cost $80, illustrating how cannabis consumption at the city’s lounges can be prohibitively expensive and limited to those who can afford it." - Mona Holmes
"Opened in Los Angeles in 2019 and widely regarded as the country’s first licensed cannabis restaurant, this cannabis cafe helped pioneer dining experiences that incorporate cannabis. Chef Andrea Drummer was part of the original team at its launch but has since departed." - Nadia Chaudhury
