Finally decided to try this place!! Honestly the only thing that was stopping me was the lack of…read moreparking lol. Went down several residential to finally find a spot. Even Ventura was full! Nice, spacious interior and they also have lounge/couches in the back which is nice. Great vibe to this place and the worker was very nice. Menu is simple, they had some summer drinks on a separate menu for seasonal. I ordered one of their signatures, 12 oz Iced Maple Oat Latte. Drink came out pretty quick and had a very pretty coffee color! Sometimes you just immediately know it'll be good just by the color and it was! Super delicious, perfect maple flavor. Would definitely come back!! IG: @ammysalamii

We were trying to get to Laidrey when I remembered a cute little shop in a plaza a minute north. I…read moreconvinced my husband to check out this spot since we hadn't been here before. The shop is located in a plaza with decent parking spots. I can imagine on a busy day it can be hard to park here! Which was already a good start to our experience since Laidrey has terrible parking (no offense). I love Laidrey but wanted to give a chance to a place I haven't tried before. Upon entrance, we were greeted with a warm and pleasant "good morning!" The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The cashier/barista was the sweetest girl who gave me helpful tips on what to get. There was an older gentlemen who walked us through on the different pastries. He told us what to get warmed up and what would taste good with the coffee. I'm so glad the staff had actual good tips because man was everything DELICIOUS. The potato croquette I had was mind blowing! It was savory with hints of cumin and a little bit of spice which you can't really get something like this at regular coffee shops. My FAVORITE! The sweetened puff pastry with cheese felt decadent and good with the coffee but boy did it fill me up immediately! The savory feta pastry was something my husband ordered which he seemed to really like but wasn't a personal favorite of mine. The Spiced Mexican Mocha was smooth and creamy. My husband ordered this and it was perfectly up to his speed! I ordered "The Sam" which is a salted vanilla oat latte. I was so excited because it already had oat milk in it! This latte was absolutely incredible and she even added the aesthetic foam art heart to it. Overall, the environment was wholesome and it's a very spacious shop. Not too loud or crowded for me. I would definitely come back and maybe even do some office work here while enjoying my potato croquette!!

I've suspected this was coming for a while. The owners of Enigma have sold the Tarzana location…read more It's now known as Flavorite Cafe. The new owner, Leon, seems to be a nice gentleman who's trying to get a grasp on both his clientele and the business and make it a smooth transition. He's increased the selection of pastries and food that's available. Service does seem to be a little slower so far. But since the same morning shift barista was working there today, my latte was as good as always.

The two ladies working the front worked at a good pace and gave good customer service. There was…read morestill a bit of a wait for drinks but the quality is still good. I like how clean and managed this branch was. Several tables to sit at, more for 1-2 people but there was a couple of 4-seater tables and a lot of seats to sit at outside. Parking wasn't too bad, but you can enter only from the right. I think this spot is a good place to study, there's nice and relaxing music playing at a good volume but I think that you need to make sure your devices are fully charged because there are no outlets here. Overall a solid place to do work because of the AC especially on a hot day and the vanilla ice blended drink I got was very creamy and at the right texture and thickness!! It was nice to come here for the first time and definitely will be in my radar if I'm in the area. To use the bathroom, you need a code. Only reason I'm removing a star is because the bathroom smelled terrible and stuffy, and even worse, there was no soap in the soap dispensers and there was no toilet paper at all!!

The employees at this Coffee Bean have always been among the friendliest humans alive, and they…read morework very hard to keep the place clean and running smoothly. In a location with an ever-shifting number of street people who may occasionally cause grief, all condiments are kept behind the counter, which needles the personal customization experience a touch (though it's understandable). Coffee here (which I always get iced) is robustly flavored without being bitter. Though I'm not the kind of aficionado others may claim to be, even I can appreciate this Java is far better than what's being served at Starbucks. However, food items are lagging far behind. The Cheddar & Jalapeño Croissant, previously pretty well-packed with cheese and peppers and sporting a goodly hit of heat, has been revamped and replaced by a dry, very mass-produced crescent with hardly any cheese or peppers, and no spice; really, barely any flavor at all, spicy or not. Other breakfast items on display failed to ignite much of a spark in me, and their version of a McMuffin looked especially unappealing in its display case packaging. So, the food is a bit of a bust, but the coffee is top notch, and the cafe areas are comfortable and well lit. Add in the free WiFi, and this is a good place to relax, chat with friends, watch a game or do some work. Maybe just sneak in a cruller from Winchell's across the street to go with your cup of Joe.

This coffee spot is so cute! The only issue is it's accessibility during the week. It's a part of…read moresome office buildings, so this is more of an office coffee spot. That means parking is a pain in the butt. There is a parking lot behind the offices, but Mon-Fri the prices are absurd. If you want to check it out, I would recommend street parking or come during the weekend when the parking lot is free! Actual coffee spot is very clean and well decorated. It's easily a place where you can spend hours if you manage to grab a table. Great place for conversation, hangouts or work. Service is great. Because the store is small, the employees are either pumping out drinks during busy hours or getting creative with their time when it's slow. They seem to enjoy what they do which makes the experience better. Coffee is solid and they have quite an interesting list of combinations available.

My husband got the praline cream rose, and he said it was strong -- he had to add more sugar, but it still wasn't good. Overall, I'd come back for my drink, but he'd probably skip his next time.

Lots of variety of traditional Jewish delights, Babka, Hamamtashen, Rugelach, Challah, Russian Tea Cake (a must have) plus all the cookies and danish you can imagine. It's all very good and will kill any dieting plans you had. They have added a selection of Ube baked goods, but not sure why or how that fits with the old school Jewish bakery theme, but it's there. I have no particular interest in that. As far as service, its alway fairly busy, but line moves fairly fast. The staff has morfed to mostly very young counter people that have zero interpersonal skills and are not friendly. The only warmth you will get here is freshly baked Challah. Still worth a visit.

My family was in the area for Labor Day weekend, so we had to give this place a try, and their…read moredrinks definitely wowed us! They were on the pricier side, but I think the quality was there and they were worth it. Everyone in our group enjoyed their drinks! The cafe has an entrance from the street and also connects directly to a parking garage, which was super convenient since it was raining when we visited. The interior is clean and minimal, with an open-space aesthetic. There's a large shared platform seating area in the middle, along with smaller tables along the walls, so there's a decent amount of space to sit and hang out. Service was pretty straightforward, not particularly warm or friendly, but our drinks came out in a timely manner. Overall, we had a good experience and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks!

Good matcha chain in the San Fernando Valley area!…read more I got the Matcha Einspanner here and it was pretty good. If you're into less sweet and almost a savory matcha, this is for you. The matcha was smooth and it wasn't dry nor bitter. The drink was creamy and the Einspanner cream wasn't too sweet which I liked. This is the type of matcha I don't mind paying $8 for. I also got the savory croissant which was a nice paring with the matcha. They offered to warm up the pastry for me which was nice and it went well with the matcha. There's inside and outside tables and seating with a good amount of outlets and I believe there's WiFi. There's even free covered parking! Only downside is there's no public restroom.

What I love about SF Coffee Company is one that all their locations are consistent with their…read moredrinks and especially food and two, I'd rather support a smaller coffee place than the BIGBUCKS coffee places. This location is so cute, its tucked into a small shopping center on Reseda and Vanowen and I love how decorated the shop as well, its consistent as well with their other locations and there was plenty of parking but I do see that parking lot can get congested since theres an El Pollo Loco drive thru and a 7/11. Walked in around 11am today and was instantly greeted and they have kiosk available but the gentleman behind the counter said he could assist me when I was ready. I ordered a drink from their summer menu the cherry vanilla latte iced, its bomb and next I have to try their version of the dirty Dr. Pepper with espresso and I wanted their delicious BLTA but they were out of avocados ='( so I went with the grilled cheese with bacon and added tomatoes and their salsa. Their salsa is fire and I do know where they get it from but my lips are sealed. So, if you're in the area, like supporting smaller coffee shops, give them a shoot. FYI, they also have online ordering and I believe delivery.

Their coffee has never disappointed! Sometimes I grab the BLTA which is really great for a quick bite. The service is great everytime and each barista is so kind, they really make you feel at home. I really appreciate the team they have built there. Shout out my man Ethan. The overall vibe inside is always super chill, they welcome you to work on your laptop or come hang out with friends, and the music in there is always hitting. Thank you SFCC for what you do for the community

They do have their own dedicated parking in the rear Walken is a movie created by the staff. They were very patient while trying to take in the menu and decide what to get. Went with even though latte and matcha croissant. Both were amazing. It was an option to warm up the croissant, though I would not recommend it since the cream inside would probably turn into lava. It can get a bit loud when the shop is at capacity, but can still maintain a conversation. First time I've been to a coffee shop that has a roasting section in-house. Great spot.

Super creamy, strong and with a nice kick from the cherry milk. I didn't make any adjustments/substitutions and thought it was perfect. I was disappointed with the service.

It's pretty spacious inside with a good amount of seating.

Alfred Coffee is a chain with several locations, but for some reason I might have a specific…read morelocation that I like and it was unfortunately not this one. I had an oat latte here, and the espresso was a bit weak for a large iced latte (maybe the ratios are better on a normal size.) The oat milk was fairly dense and goopy, and it pretty much masked that espresso. Parking is a little difficult to find, but if you don't mind walking, parking can easily be had on the street (and free) around the block - not Ventura Blvd, of course. Service was fairly quick, though they are often fairly busy especially those afternoon hours! Their interior is fairly small, so working can be on the noisier end, and foot traffic is often enough that a good set of earbuds is a must.

I will note: the salsa that comes with the burrito was OK but the burrito alone with no salsa was great. The flavor of the avocado and ingredients together was simple and fresh.
