Coffee for Breakfast

"Despite a name that sounds like an overpriced drip coffee spot on Abbot Kinney, Coffee For Breakfast is a tiny cafe in North Hollywood that serves traditional Venezuelan breakfast and lunch from 8am-4pm. Your order should include any of the cachapas, which are traditional corn-based pancakes stuffed with combinations of meat and cheese, a few beef empanadas, and a cinnamon cafe con leche. The place only has a handful of tables that fill up fast, so expect a small wait on the weekends." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Despite a name that sounds like an overpriced drip coffee shop on Abbot Kinney, Coffee For Breakfast is a tiny cafe that serves traditional Venezuelan breakfast and lunch from 7:30am-4:00pm (6pm on Fridays). Our favorite section of the menu is easily the cachapas, which come with gooey, cheese-filled corn cakes, a protein of your choice on the side, and eggs. Round out your meal with a cinnamon cafe con leche. The place is pretty small, so if you’re with a bigger group, head out back where you’ll find a leafy, shaded patio with all the room you need." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder

"This tiny Venezuelan cafe works well for anything from a pre-work pit stop to a holiday when you wake up at 7 because your body doesn’t know it’s President’s Day. The space looks like any other cafe in North Hollywood, but rather than day-old pastries, they have fantastic things like empanadas, arepas, and cachapas (corn pancakes stuffed with cheese). It gets crowded quickly on weekends, but you won’t ever have to wait for a table during the week." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins

"While the name might have you guessing whether this place is just a coffee shop or offers actual food, Coffee For Breakfast serves traditional Venezuelan breakfast and lunch options from Tuesday to Sunday until 4pm. The coffee here is good, but we prefer it alongside the Venezuelan breakfast that comes with two plain arepas, black beans, mozzarella cheese, eggs any way you want them, and your choice of either shredded beef or chicken. The soft arepas are great for sampling everything as you smear some black beans and meat onto them, cover them in butter, or dip them into a silky egg yolk. La de perico, or perico-style eggs, is another great breakfast option that comes as a three-egg scramble with plenty of onions and tomatoes, and a side of fresh arepas." - sylvio martins

Open at 8:30am Tuesday-Friday (8am on the weekends), every order here should include several cachapas (corn-based pancakes stuffed with combinations of meat and cheese), a few beef empanadas, and a cinnamon cafe con leche. Available for both takeout and delivery." - brant cox
