Espresso Profeta

"Coffee shop with a New England feel. This shop will fulfill your caffeine fix with their fairly traditional menu of espresso, cappuccino, coffee, and tea. Their drinks are of quality and they buy their coffee beans from Espresso Vivace in Seattle. There is art hanging on the walls, with big windows, letting the natural light shine in and create a warm environment. If it's a nice day you can also have your coffee outside in their outdoor patio. You'll find college students studying for their classes or overhearing an intellectual casual conversation or two. A classic college coffee hangout." - Grace Duong

"Despite being steps from UCLA's campus, Westwood's Espresso Profeta isn't entirely overrun by lawless undergrads. All their drinks are reasonably priced, with the Caffe Nico being our go-to latte order with its cinnamon and orange zest garnish. There's also a lovely back patio that never gets too loud, but we still prefer the bright brick-walled interior. Be warned: there are absolutely zero outlets, so plan accordingly and charge up beforehand." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins

"This beloved espresso shop in Westwood has been an unsung Hollywood hero, hosting segments of everything from Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld to Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David. The coffee, powered by Seattle’s traditional bold roasted Espresso Vivace, hews to a mid-aughts, Italian-influenced style." - Matthew Kang
