A quaint coffee roaster off of Ventura boulevard. There's street parking as well as a small parking…read morelot in the back. The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

I always love trying out a new coffee shop and since I was in the area, I decided it was time to…read morediscover a new one. This is such a quaint neighborhood-type cafe, it almost feels like you're walking into someone's home, in contrast to the hustling and bustling city it's nestled in within Hollywood. It's an Aussie cafe, they have some swag items with what I assume is Aussie slang? And lots of options for what to get to drink. Definitely a pickup and go type spot given the small square footage. I chose the vegemite caramel latte. If I'm trying somewhere new and that somewhere new is Australian, you have to go with vegemite. But I'll be honest, I didn't really know what vegemite is exactly, of course I've heard of it before, but what is it?, I still can't tell you. But the nice lady assured me that they make the syrup in house just using a little of the Vegemite and the drink just tastes like rich caramel. I got it with almond milk. It wasn't cheap... it rang up to over $8. But thankfully they don't charge for non-dairy milk. The portion seemed a little small for such a hefty price tag but given the latte's richness in flavor, it actually was just enough. Good stuff! Check it out.

It was really interesting that one of the Americanos was made with Ecuador Los 4 Mundos beans, and the other was made with Colombia El Diviso. When a staff member brought over my hot Vanilla Latte, I asked to make sure it was decaf. He took it back just to double-check for me, and then confirmed that it was indeed decaf. The coffee here is all delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly, which I really liked. However, the chairs were quite uncomfortable to sit in, and the Vanilla Latte was still pretty sweet even though I ordered it "less sweet." Still, the coffee tastes so good and the staff are so incredibly kind, so it's a really great coffee shop. P.S. A funny thing: They had dog treats in a jar. I immediately thought of my boss's absolutely super, incredibly cute dogs, so I asked for an empty cup and packed some treats to bring to the office for them today. But when I finished my coffee and was heading out, I totally forgot and accidentally threw the cup of treats away along with the empty coffee cups. OMG. (But seriously, all dogs and cats always absolutely love me. Hahaha. When I get to work, my boss's dogs come over wagging their tails and greeting me so excitedly--they are just so, so adorable. And as for cats, there's a stray that I've been feeding every single morning on my way to work for over 4-5 years now. She currently lives at the Buddhist temple I attend. Every day when I go, she follows me around everywhere. She absolutely loves it when I scratch her back with a brush, and when I'm done and try to leave, she taps my foot to tell me to scratch more! It's just so totally cute and lovable. It's a completely white cat, and so incredibly pretty.)

Although I opted for a dairy cream top, apparently, you can also get a dairy-free cream top (coconut-based, I believe), which was appreciated.

Overall, Dayglow did the trick to satisfy my cravings!

I literally asked her where she got it from, and she said Be Bright Coffee. I actually had plans to try another spot, but after seeing that sandwich, my friend and I changed directions and came here instead. First off, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered a Vivid coffee and another coffee that I sadly can't remember the name of, but both were really good. The only thing I wish was better was the menu display. After ordering, I noticed someone else had this cute little tray with different mini coffees and I had no idea that was even an option. I definitely would've considered ordering that if it had been shown more clearly on the menu. Food-wise, we got the veggie sandwich and avocado toast. The veggie sandwich was DELICIOUS, super fresh, flavorful, and honestly the highlight for me. The avocado toast, on the other hand, was not my favorite. It was incredibly salty. My friend and I split it, and I'm honestly glad we did because it would've been too much for one person. The ambiance here is really cute and cozy. They have fun little knickknacks and items for sale, which made the place feel unique and inviting. I also loved that they had a small little kids' play area. I thought that was such a smart and funny idea imagine coming here as a parent, grabbing your coffee, and sending your kid off to the play corner... LOL Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back, especially for that veggie sandwich and the overall vibe.
