Otherwise from the outside one wouldn't have told there's a cafe inside as the giant sign was only featuring the shop's name and not the cafe.

I honestly could spend hours sitting there enjoying my read as it felt like I was just sitting amidst a garden or backyard surrounded by peaceful natural ambiance sipping my drink. Selling that distinctive vibe, as expected the drinks came with pretty steep price tags. I got their Cloud Matcha, their version of Matcha Latte with cream top that I customized to get their Salted Maple cream (typically served with different drink). It wasn't like my top matcha list, but decent enough and prolly elevated by the setting. More than the drink, I was prolly more hooked by the flavored cream top which was less common and even available in non-dairy option!

It had been a while since my last visit to The Alley. A few friends were setting up camp at the…read morepicnic tables, and I decided to join them on a Saturday afternoon. Much to my surprise, it was about as lively as I had remembered it. The Alley was established during Covid times and offered a retreat to escape from the humdrum of the homestead. These days, its friendly vibe welcomes neighbors and visitors with a backyard setting strewn with twinkle lights and family-style tables. It's a causal scene and easy to soak in the live music, sunlight/moonlight, and neighborly banter. The layout resembles an alley with shops on either side, big open doors invite you to grab something to eat, sample a drink, or shop for handmade gifts. On one side, you've got craft brews and coffee roasters. On the other side, it's local wines and piping hot pizzas. Dogs are welcome all around. At the center of it all, there's live music on the weekends. Modeled after a Beer & Wine Garden concept, The Alley features Enegren Brewery (beer), Lucas Sellers (wine), California Coffee Republic (java), Fire & Vice (pizza), and The Craft House (non-alcoholic tchotchkes). As a self-proclaimed wino, I opted for a sampling of the Lucas Sellers Wines. Ashley, who was behind the bar and top of the pours, gave me good suggestions and offered anecdotes about each wine on tap. At the end of the night, my light pinot paired perfectly with the Mushroom Arugula pizza from Fire & Vice. And I felt right at home, surrounded by friends.

The store is beautifully decorated inside and is a hot spot for people to sit and relax while sipping coffee and/or having a treat. We have been patrons for years, and whenever we have a celebration, this is always one of the places we consider. The pastries and cakes are absolutely delicious, artistically presented, and surprisingly light and refreshing. Our favorite is their wild berry yogurt cake, but we have also tried some of their other cakes, including the tiramisu, and have enjoyed them all. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. I recently picked up a birthday cake and had the birthday message written on a chocolate sheet. The whole process took only a few minutes, which was especially convenient. Their cakes come in small, medium, and large sizes. The larger sizes can sell out, so if you need a medium or large cake, it's probably best to order ahead. I recommend this place to all who enjoy a heart healthy treat!

I also grabbed a single serving of the blueberry cheesecake, which was light, airy, and still decadently satisfying--definitely worth every spoonful. The rum babas were a standout: bite-sized, soaked in Jamaican rum, filled with Chantilly cream, and topped with a raspberry. So flavorful and unique--each bite was indulgent without being too heavy. And then there was the Velina cake... oh my goodness. A beautiful sponge layered with chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse, all covered in a glossy dark chocolate glaze. It was so rich and decadent that I had to slow myself down just to fully enjoy every bite. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully made, and worth the drive. I'd absolutely come back again.

The chili Verde burrito was OK. I believe Philz coffee has a similar sized burrito and priced about the same. I feel like these are just made offsite and reheated per order - which is fine. Not that great of burrito, and I feel like was more tortilla than burrito at some parts lol The latte was OK, I do not drink coffee often so I'm usually able to gauge how caffeinated it is. The flavor was good for the latte, though did not really get too much of a kick from the coffee itself. I commend this place for having lots of options; I feel like there may be too many for a coffee shop, but that is just my opinion.

I found this spot online and headed over and Im glad I did. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the owners, husband and wife team who immediately made me feel welcome. They were eager to walk me through the menu, offered great suggestions, and were incredibly patient while my brain was still waking up at 9am lol. Their kindness and humor made me feel right at home. This place also feels homey. If you take a moment to look around, you'll notice the personal touches such as the artwork, photos, and thoughtful details that tell a story of their family. Okay Now to get to the good stuff the drinks and bites are stellar, here's what I got: I finally found a seriously addicting chai here in the 805. I'm very picky about chai, so when Robin insisted "you're trying this" so I listened and I'm so glad I did haha. Freshly brewed, no artificial flavors, perfectly spiced. I think I would dub this one of the BEST chai's I've ever had. 10/10. Their classic breakfast bites hit the spot too. I had a breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon and a fresh egg. Simple but good. I'd get this again but also would be open to trying some of their other bites. 8/10. The handmade bakery section here was unreal. The apple pastry I ordered was pure nostalgia and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more of their daily baked goods. The selection was huge and lots of different options to try. I think their passionfruit pastry will be calling my name next time. Lastly I leave you with a Fun fact: if you're a football fan or into chess, this is your cafe. Chess tables are available for playing at and it's the perfect morning spot to catch matches over coffee and pastries. Liverpool fans especially welcome here ;) Sorry it took me so long to find this spot but they've got a new fan now!

I've been to different La La Land locations all over Los Angeles, and they generally have all been…read morea somewhat good experience, mainly being based on the drinks and food vs. the experience and customer service. This La La Land cafe location, though, is the worst one of them all. The customer service and experience is always terrible and horribly long. It's NOT that other locations aren't popular like this one, it's that the baristas here use this as their hour to chat like it's group therapy. It has always been, on multiple occasions now, a shock to witness the way the workers are completely oblivious to the customers and lack any consideration, especially on speed. Today was the breaking point for me as I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as maybe the first time was just a one-timer experience. Unfortunately, it was not. Today, my boyfriend and I came by and ordered drinks and a piece of hazelnut toast. The line wasn't too bad while waiting, but what took a long time were the drinks and worse, the food. We watched as the girls making the drinks were chatting away, one with dark brownish black curly big hair with blond streaks and glasses, talking to her other coworker. It was really frustrating as they were holding onto drinks while they were finishing stories before calling out the names for them. I eventually had to ask that exact girl if she could check on my toast, as it had been around 10 minutes. She said she'd go check, and that was great....up until she saw someone she went to college with after walking 6 feet towards the back and then got into everything that was new in her life with her. After another 5 minutes, I had to ask the black girl with a bandana that she was working with to go check on my toast; as she was now doing multiple drinks at once since the other worker decided to take a 15 minute break apparently with no notice or communication to anyone. She went to the back and came back out with my hazelnut toast that I ordered a couple minutes later, and I thanked her. I also said a quick sorry to her since I had asked that girl with the two-toned hair already and knew that this girl was busy, but she nodded and said it's totally fine. Realistically, this puts the customers in an awkward position because although she might be okay with taking on another coworkers work and job, the customers aren't always thrilled to ask multiple workers where their food is when they shouldn't have to in the first place. You know it's bad, too, when the older gentleman next to me looked at me and stated how "nice" it was that I had to ask for them to check on my food for a second time, as he had also noticed that she completely disregarded her job, too. He said he'd go ballistic if he was the manager. "Me too," I said to him. Like stated earlier, though, this isn't the first bad experience here. Coming here previously consisted of the girls also talking so much to each other that they got the drinks WRONG! One of the girl baristas mentioned that the drink was made wrong as they were putting it out on the table to grab. To make up for it, they opened the lid and squeezed a half cup of chocolate sauce on top of the iced Camp Rock matcha latte I'd ordered. With La La Land, I enjoy their matcha and their food, but with these consistent terrible experiences, it has solidified my service at Makenna Coffee right across the street. All of these issues could be avoided if the workers paid attention and did their jobs. Literally. If everyone acted like this was their job and they had to get the drinks out in under 2 minutes like Coffee Bean does, it wouldn't be such an awful experience. But because there is no sense of urgency at all with any of the workers, and the lack of attention leads them to messing up the orders, then this location really isn't deserving of any business.

The B.A.B. is a great classic breakfast with eggs, crispy potatoes, toasted country bread, and your choice of bacon or sausage patty. I went with the sausage patty. I would've cooked the patty for another minute myself, but it wasn't a problem. Everything else was cooked really well, and those crispy potatoes were especially good. The Mediterranean was completely different but just as enjoyable, with a soft boiled egg, grilled halloumi, hummus, olives, cucumber salad, tomatoes, pita, and sumac. It was fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. The grilled halloumi and hummus were probably our favorite parts. We also couldn't resist trying a couple of pastries and ordered the Cheddar Chive Scone and a croissant. Both tasted incredibly fresh. The croissant was buttery and flaky, and the scone had a really nice savory flavor from the cheddar and chives. Sunrose has a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a perfect brunch spot, and everything we tried tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

From wobbly tables to servers who don't even make eye contact when speaking to you, the hospitality…read morehere leaves quite a bit to be desired. When we asked our server, "What would you recommend?" the response was, verbatim, "Just get anything," followed by a point toward the menu. That pretty much summed up the service experience. That said, the restaurant itself has a lot going for it. The atmosphere is pleasant, the space is thoughtfully designed, and it's clear the owners invested considerable time, money, and care into building the place. You can genuinely see the effort behind the restaurant. And that's what makes the service more disappointing. A restaurant can have a beautiful space and solid food, but hospitality is what turns a transaction into an experience. Basic attentiveness, eye contact, genuine recommendations, and making guests feel welcome shouldn't be asking too much. The restaurant will likely continue to do well because the concept, location, and atmosphere are strong. But if the owners invested the same level of care into the guest experience that they clearly invested into the physical restaurant, it could be significantly better. Tried the food, and not gonna lie, the Dutch Bay is amazing. Definitely a must try! Good restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Hospitality, however, needs work.
