    Always pass by this cute little hole in the wall. I should have gotten the dolly but instead got the chele. It's very weird - didn't realize it has fizzy water which is my bad. It's a weird combo of strawberries, coffee and fizzy water. I wouldn't get a get. I'll try the dolly next time. Guy at window was nice

    Some good, some bleh. The barista was very nice and made the coffees pretty quickly. There wasn't a lot of seating but we were lucky to get one of the two tables out front. We got the Candied Yams and the the Apple Pie Matcha. The matcha was decent, but the Candied Yams latte was strange. I thought it was ok, but my wife didn't like it. It was a little thicker than I would have liked, but again it had a strange after taste.

    My friend wanted to check out a boutique coffee shop while we were roaming Hollywood and ended up here due to the great reviews on yelp. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, I love to drink a simple black iced coffee - but that being said, I don't add anything into my coffee to dilute the actual flavor and I thought it was very good. My friend tried the Dolly Latte and felt it was good but nothing special. I'd actually be curious to try the Sage against the machine one of these days The service was fine. A simple window to place your order and a half a dozen tables to enjoy your coffee on the side walk. the color and design of the building is really cute.

    Honey Latte
    Nathalie R.

    Cute little coffee shop in midcity. Stopped by on our way to the Harriet Tubman Center, just a few blocks East. The service is friendly and quick. They do not offer vanilla, which was disappointing, but the honey latte was good. The pastries looked great, so I look forward to trying them another time.

    Outside / seating area

    4++ A walk up window in Hollywood where you can order some great coffee. This place is perfect for a grab and go pick me up. The service was great. The person was super friendly and was quick to help me. The vibe here is pretty chill because it is just really a place to pick stuff up at least in the afternoon. There are seats outside, but not very many people are sitting out there. Maybe it's a lot busier in the morning. I ordered orange dreamsicle latte. it was done well and it was the great mid afternoon. Pick me up that I was looking for. It's on a busy street in Hollywood so parking could get a little hectic but when I went, there was some street parking very close by. Great spot for a grab and go type situation and probably a great place to meet someone if you want to sit on the sidewalk along a busy street in Hollywood.

    Super cute spot on sunset blvd. The girl working the counter was SO sweet, and really made the experience so much better . We got the dolly, really nice simple coffee, just like a regular late, we also got the dreamsicle, which is orange and vanilla- it was interesting.. if you like orange a lot, great. Not my thing.. I wish they had more options that weren't so... odd haha. But that's ok, the quality was there in the options they did have. Coffees were 7$ each Cute spot, I'm glad I tried it , They have cute merch, and pastries here that I didn't try.

    Azuki Latte
    Anthony D.

    Some of the best coffee I had in LA. The location just has an order window, but there are little tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk. I decided to try their specialty Azuki Latte which had notes of red bean and sesame. Very good, would definitely recommend trying if you're in the area!

    Cherry pie latte & Pulp figtion
    Andrea V.

    Mehh, this place was alright. The everyday coffee menu items were basic and boring. The seasonal items were definitely different and perked my interest. Prices were average, $4-7 a drink. There was limited street parking and a few small tables and chairs available outside. Service was alright, nothing memorable, he took our order, made the drinks, and that was it. I wanted something different, so I ordered the cherry pie latte. The cherry syrup or whatever it is they use was tart and bitter. I tasted cherry, but it overpowered the drink. Didn't taste like cherry pie. Tasted more like an underdeveloped squished cherry with a hint of espresso and milk. Ordered the pulp figtion and boy was that a disappointment. Tasted like coffee grinds and old espresso with fig seeds for texture. Yeah, I couldn't taste fig and actually couldn't stand the taste. The name caught my eye, and I liked the design. Other than that, not a fan of this place.

    Good coffee. Nice little walk up off sunset with some chairs and tables to sit around in the nice weather and do some people watching. Service was great. Staff was friendly and offered suggestions

    Michelle ..

    What a cute little hidden gem! This hole-in-the-wall coffee spot totally surprised me. The vibe is cozy and inviting, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The coffee? Delicious--smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Prices were really reasonable too, especially considering the quality. You can tell they take pride in what they do here.

    Hole in the wall cafe with an interesting but limited menu. Pico Colado was decent. Regular latte was okay. Wish there was soymilk option! Street parking & outdoor seating only.

    Mocha on left and Dolly on right - sitting at cute cafe table on the sidewalk.
    Jenn G.

    Less options than I was hoping for, but cute seating area outside. Friendly window service. I had an iced Dolly with oat milk and daughter had an iced mocha with dairy. Both drinks were nicely, lightly sweetened and had a cute logo.

    Raven B.

    Really wanted to like this place. It's a cute little to-go coffee shop wedged in its space. Both coffees that we got were severely lacking. Their flavor was too far on the "burnt" side with a grainy & gritty texture.

I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

With things like goat curry and gluten free options, you gotta have rice. Second, they ran out of goat curry. I came all the way from San Diego to try it. Oh well. Excuse to come back. I loved every bite I tried. There was nothing that disappointed. The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.

The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.
