Finally! A comfy, reasonably priced coffee shop in Tujunga Village! Giorla's Coffee is in the space that used to be occupied by Gelato Bar and Espresso Cafe. What an improvement! Giorla's offers espresso drinks, teas, pastries, breakfasts, and lunch sandwiches, as well as ice cream, all at fair prices.
The interior is clean and fresh and lovely.
The patio has plenty of outdoor seating.
The staff is friendly and efficient. As an added plus, they keep a cache of Trader Joe's doggy cookies and treats for pooches who are there with their humans. My pug happily munched on a doggy cookie while I sipped my cappuccino. It was a superb cappuccino, creamy and with plenty of soft foam.
Sandwiches are served open face on wooden sandwich boards. You select your meat (turkey or dry salami), cheese (mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack), vegetables (micro greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and onion), bread (sourdough, sesame wheat, or gluten-free), and spread (yellow or Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, veganaise, or olive oil). It is a light sandwich, and while I'm not quite sure it's worth $10, it's tasty and the presentation is beautiful. I'd get it again. I would be interested in trying the grilled cheese.
This is a great addition to Tujunga Village. Yay!
