Coffee and Plants in Studio City is one of those places that instantly makes my day better. The…read morevibe is calm and welcoming, and everything feels thoughtfully done, from the space to the menu. I love their pastries, full stop. They are consistently fresh and craveable, and somehow manage to feel indulgent without being heavy. The Just Egg tartine is also a standout. It's satisfying, flavorful, and exactly what I want when I need a real breakfast that still feels a little special. And the lattes are truly amazing. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, and made with care. They also absolutely nail the seasonal drinks. The Cookie Latte is currently my favorite. It's cozy, dessert-like in the best way, and still tastes like coffee, not syrup. If you want a spot that gets it right every time, Coffee and Plants is it. Great food, great drinks, and a genuinely lovely place to hang out.

Stopped in on a hot Saturday afternoon. We got lucky and found street parking a few doors down with…read moretime on the meter. Upon walking in I loved that they were projecting the world cup game on the wall. The second thing I loved was the super clean restroom. The soap they had smelled so great! I do wish they had a larger menu posted on a wall so I didn't have to wait to get up to the cashier before being able to look at the menu. I felt a little rushed because I hate holding up the line while I decide. Everything sounded so great. I decided to go big and ordered an iced Fig and Vanilla Matcha Latte. The dried fig on top was so delicious. My cousin opted for an iced tea. I can't wait to go back to try the Yala Latte and Yala Matcha because I have grown to love orange blossom and cardamom both of which I disliked as a child. The seasonal Salted Honey Pistachio Latte looks enticing but after trying the coffee/pistachio combination a few times i've come to learn is a pairing I'm not fond of. The Apricot tonic also caught my eye... I wonder if they can make that sans espresso! I also want to try their other soda/spritz drinks. Some of their ingredients are truly fascinating... cardammom preserve? Sumac in a drink? I want to try it ALL!

Why am I paying $10 for caffeine and a Starbucks experience?…read more I've been visiting multiple times as this coffee shop is close to my work and I enjoyed their coffee from the Silver-lake location. I'm a pretty simple girl, one latte and I leave. I'm very friendly and say please and thank you when I order. Every time I come here, I feel like I'm in the coffee shop version of an Abercrombie with the staff. I order and the girl taking my order just stares at the screen without looking up once. This has happened with multiple staff except maybe once with a nice young boy. When I ask if the order they call is mine, they give me the millennial stare as if I ruined their flow. I try not to be a bother but it really has me wanting different. Yes, I'm sure they want to just take my order and have me leave- the small conditions of the shop don't help. But I'm confused on what the goals of the shop is? Is Yala a high quality coffee shop with a cool coffee amenity or just another fast-food coffee shop?

We happened to come…read moreacross this place when we had to drop our rental car off next door (at Sixt) and decided to give it a try because my fiancé and I love peaches! Not to much parking around and they're more of a counter service vs going into a cafe to chill and drink. I felt since we were there we had to get drinks that incorporated peaches! I got their peach iced matcha with oat milk and my fiance for their peaches and cream smoothie with oak milk as well. I like that they gave us an option for milk choices and didn't upcharge us on that! I loved how they used actual pieces of peaches in my matcha! It was just the right amount of sweetness for my Asian tastebuds IYKYK. The matcha was not grainy and the peach really complimented it so well! The peaches and cream was yummy! It tasted like a peach cobbler almost and they used orgain, a plant based protein powder! I love that for them! If you're in the neighborhood come give it a try! It's a bit pricy but hey - you're in LA, at least it tastes good and not junky!

Inside was clean, not too big but they have a few tables as well as some outside. They have a little patio area out front. They have different options on the menu besides coffee, like açaí and smoothies. I opted for their rose late which was on the specialty menu and chose almond milk. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the flavor of the coffee. There was no hint of rose at all. The coffee flavor itself tasted ok but when you advertise rose, you should get that prominent flavor shine through.

Walked in yesterday around 3:50 pm and got a very nice greeting from a sweet, pleasant lady with a genuine smile by the name of Natalia. Right away she asked me if I wanted to try few of their samples. I already had in mind what I was about to get, but she still offered me to sample it so I did. I got a medium size/cup of their Mascorpone gelato and grabbed a seat in the shop. She gave me a generous scoop and was very yummy, creamy, delicious & REFRESHING!! $8.23 with tax. Since my last review, the only reason that I gave a 4 star rating was because of their tables not being clean. Everything was up to par. Enjoyed my Gelato,the nice Classic Rock music and headed out. Everything else is mentioned in my previous review! Feel free to read it. Thank you Freddo, Natalia & management.

Every 'Joe Schmoe' can "go out for ice cream"; but do you want to up the ante and show off…read moresophistication? Would you prefer to feel as though you are carefree in Italy and about to hop on a vespa? Then opt for gelato. Somehow, grabbing gelato versus ice cream feels classy and elegant. Although gelato offerings in Los Angeles aren't as widespread as ice cream; there are plenty of options awaiting to make us all feel European (I AM European so I always do but I digress). San Fernando Valley's most recent addition to the world of gelato is Freddo - located not far from the Ventura/ Laurel Canyon intersection in Studio City. Yes, that means this is prime real estate and terrible parking. Is Freddo worth the hassle? Freddo has been in the gelato business for 50 years opening their first shop in Argentina before expanding worldwide focusing on fresh, local ingredients and flavors; making each shop unique to the surrounding cultures. Freddo has arrived in Southern California ready to bring their Italian gelato roots to the City of Angels. Sounds great, right? Well, yes - on paper but this Studio City location fell short. The Studio City location of Freddo has been on the receiving end of viral publicity and influencer love as of late often appearing in social media videos. Coupled with Freddo's worldwide market holding; I had very high hopes for Freddo's gelato. I expected some orgasmic gelato! A mind-blowing experience! My boyfriend and I ventured into Freddo to find a rather large gelateria in comparison to other gelato/ice cream shops with an order counter/gelato/pastry case, a front window-seating counter complete with plants and plenty of tables and seating within; while murals graced the walls adding splashes of color. What I found odd, was the disheveled mess Freddo appeared - why didn't anyone tidy the dining area? Granted, there was only one associate in the front but only two other customers ahead of us. Alas, an untidy gelato shop isn't the clincher to a bad time but this was just the beginning. My boyfriend and I have never visited Freddo and the associate was NOT welcoming, didn't smile, was basically silent and stood there like a statue until we asked for some samples on our own. Let's try "selling the business" and having good customer service, shall we buddy? I am not a gelato professional consumer by any means but I was instantly deterred by the visual appearance of the gelato which just looked 'off'. Perhaps, I am just spoiled by Bacio di Latte which is a hop, skip and jump from Freddo and is absolutely divine. I wasn't overwhelemed by the flavor options at Freddo although I tried Zabaglione which is inspired by the Marsala wine Italian dessert and was interesting with the wine notes coming through the gelato. The Mascarpone (mascarpone with raspberry sauce) was also decent but not overly unique. I decided against purchasing my own gelato and instead to share with my boyfriend with him choosing a double cup ($7.50) of Stracciatella (sweet cream with semi-sweet chocolate chunks) and blackberry sorbet (note: this was to test it against Bacio di Latte's raspberry sorbet which is one of the best sorbets on the planet). The prices at Freddo were another strike with the single cup ($6.25), double ($7.50) and triple ($9.80) being smaller in size than their competitors but about a dollar higher, respectively. This is fine if the gelato is worth it - but it isn't. I'm sorry but Freddo's gelato was mediocre at best. I've had better grocery store pints. The Stracciatella was overly simplified and bland and the blackberry sorbet (which was not strained of seeds) was just bad. I can't even eloquently phrase why - it just is. There isn't much more to be said about Freddo. Freddo is, bluntly, not good and I don't understand how they claim worldwide gelato domination. A messy shop, poor customer service, subpar gelato flavors/textures and overpriced... why is this place viral? Can someone answer me? Anyone?! There is nothing good here and especially when Freddo is overshadowed by Bacio di Latte almost a block away. My boyfriend and I will not be back despite wanting to feel classy consuming gelato. Skip!

Talk about a new favorite coffee shop!! Oh my.. how have I not tried this place sooner?! Nor have I…read moreeven heard of it lol. Dropped by on a weekend and had to park on the street like normal anywhere in LA. We walked down the street to find a very, very busy cafe and super packed but that's a sign, right? Absolutely. 100%. We hopped in line to order and a girl from afar complimented our pokemon shirts lol immediately put a smile on my face. We ordered and the drinks came out pretty quick! Got the Saint Latte and Pistachio Latte and let me tell you. This is hands down the best pistachio latte I've ever had!! Super creamy and the strongness was perfect. They have lots of seating inside and out but we enjoyed ours to go (went to hang out at universal studios for the day). Great spot and can't wait to visit again!! IG: @ammysalamii

We live very close by and pass here all the time, but once I started seeing ads for it, I was…read morecurious to finally give it a try. My husband and I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, although almost all the pastries were already sold out, so I'm guessing the real rush is in the mornings. Overall, I personally wasn't a fan, mainly because the drinks and most of the food felt pretty underwhelming and lacked flavor. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was honestly the most bland matcha I've had, which is surprising considering there was strawberry puree in it. It didn't taste low quality, just very muted and not something I'd order again, especially since I get matcha (and strawberry matcha) pretty often elsewhere. My husband got the pistachio latte and liked it, but mentioned it leaned a bit too sweet for his taste. For food, we tried the breakfast bagel and I genuinely can't believe how bland it was. It had all the components you'd expect, everything bagel, eggs, cheese, aioli, bacon, and more, but somehow it just fell flat. I kept wanting to add salt or some kind of sauce to bring it to life. I actually stopped eating it because it didn't feel worth it to keep going for something so flavorless. The one highlight was the spinach quiche. I really enjoyed it and would come back for that specifically, although it did feel a little pricey for what it was. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if someone else wanted to go, I wouldn't object.

The outdoor setting was perfect for people-watching, adding to the laid-back vibe of the place. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. I decided to try the Dialog Breakfast Burrito, which has soft scrambled eggs, kielbasa sausage, and melted cheddar; crispy hash browns to add crunch, and the house-made spicy ketchup provides a zesty kick. I also enjoyed a Madagascar vanilla latte and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Let me tell you, the breakfast burrito was fantastic! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the flavors blended beautifully. A special shout-out to Annika, who recommended the vanilla latte--it truly was heavenly! They use house-made vanilla syrup, which elevated the drink to a whole new level. While we didn't order it, I must mention the BLT that the table next to us had. It looked and smelled amazing, and they confirmed it was as good as it appeared. If you're looking for a chill spot with great food and friendly service, Dialog is definitely worth a visit!

This place has been such a staple in hollywood and it's always good. I love that they change the menu to try new things but also keep some of the old goodies. Today i tried the new broccoli dish and the steak frites with salad . So so so good!! Sauce on the steak was fantastic. The fries were excellent . I'm not a French fry person (i don't order because i try to stay away from fried food) and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - seasoned perfectly and pairs well with the aioli sauce. The eggs and morning plates are some of my favorite things here for breakfast and i love their croissants and cookies!! The chicken Caesar wrap is a huge hit and i know the Gen Z's love this according to my younger sister lol. I feel like you can't go wrong here, always something for everyone. We've brought friends and family here over the years and we'll always continue to do so. The service is also super friendly . I love that they expanded to the side walk because the wait times used to be even crazier when it was just the patio . I remember sooo well. Love the expansion. I know there's more changes and new things to come as time progresses and we'll be here to see it :)

The ambience was very nice and cozy. Many tables inside to more out back. They even have a stage area. I ordered a slice of apple that was so delicious warmed up. The apples were thinly sliced and were not overly sweet which I loved. My husband got a slice of cookie and cream which was so good. We also ordered a marion berry slice that I had never heard of but wanted to try. It was a little too tart for my taste but still not bad. I think the only thing I could critique was the coffee. I ordered a black coffee and it tasted a little burnt and not fresh. But I didn't make a big deal because I did go in like 40 minutes before closing time. I will be back maybe a little earlier to give coffee another try, also for another slice of pie.
