You could really tell they wanted to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant has tons of indoor and outdoor seating, and I loved that each area has a different vibe. There's also a convenient to-go window if you're looking to grab something for takeout. We opted for the country breakfast and the chilaquiles which were both a 10/10! Will absolutely be returning and already looking forward to trying more from their menu!

Almost horrifyingly so. The other issue I had was the grilled shrimp salad. Easily the worst salad I had in my life. They add all sorts stuff into the bowl that it just didn't make any sense with a grilled shrimp salad. They added bacon that had the texture of beef jerky. Then they had all kinds fruits that didn't compliment the taste at all. Think about it: grilled shrimp, beef jerky bacon, fruits like strawberries and blueberries? I love all those things ... except bacon beef jerky but to put it all in a salad? Gross.

Love all the pink balanced by the green plants. Lots of drink options yet we stuck to an Americano and tea. Although we aren't vegan, we were pleased with the food options. The "ham and cheese" croissant was delicious. The avocado toast was probably one of the best I've had. Sweetness of the avo paired with the acidic tart of the pickled onions along with the capers, topped w tagine made for a scrumptious breaky.

Tried out Coffee and Plants this weekend and honestly the vibe here is really cool…read more They actually sell plants in the shop too, and everything drink wise is 100% plant based, which is such a unique concept. The space itself feels really nice, the kind of spot you could bring a book, host a book club, or just settle in to study for a while. The floral wall and overall aesthetic make it feel like a little oasis. As for the drinks, we got the Superglow Latte and a seasonal pumpkin latte with pumpkin cold foam. Unfortunately the coffee itself just wasn't that good, I'd rate it around a 2/5. Honestly comparable to the Capital One Cafe coffee in terms of quality, and I was hoping for more given how much thought clearly went into the space. That said, the barista was really nice and helpful, and the vibe alone makes it worth a visit. I'm giving this a 3/5 overall, mainly for the atmosphere rather than the coffee itself. If this review helped, a thumbs up is always appreciated

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!

I found this place in Yelp by specifically putting "cappuccino" in the Yelp search bar…read more After living in Florence, Italy for a while, finding a comparable cappuccino in the states is always a fun adventure for me. Most places don't quite hit that invisible bench mark I've set inside my head. Well, the first sip of my dry (extra foamy) cappuccino from Saint Coffee shop stopped me in my tracks and briefly took me back to Florence. The sip was extra foamy and the cappuccino soft in flavor. I had to go back into the shop and discover who made it. Laney was the barista and let me tell you... Laney makes a wonderful cappuccino!

A friend and I came in at lunchtime intending to order lunch and coffee, but we had to leave without ordering because there was nowhere to sit. About ten of the available tables were each occupied by a single person working on a computer. I understand that cafés can be comfortable places to work, but in such a small space, it would be helpful if Saint placed some limits on laptop use during busy meal hours. Customers coming in to enjoy lunch or coffee together should also have a reasonable chance of finding a table. I truly hope they address this, because I would like to keep supporting this lovely neighborhood café.

How does one become a citizen of the Republic of Pie? Because I think I want to join…read more The place is super cozy but we got our orders to go. They have lots of coffee drinks and pastries but if the name says "pie," you need to get pie. The cherry pie was wonderful. Cherry is not my number one pie flavor but it was great and not too sweet. The crust was wonderful. The chicken pie had a ton of flavor and had corn and carrots inside, so I guess you could say it was healthy-ish. The Thanksgiving pie was wonderful, even though it is August and a million degrees outside. The spices were perfect and made me think of Turkey Day. No passport required to visit this Republic.

Second time in here, and I guess because I'm not coming in here to work, it's not been my vibe…read moreeither time. A lot of single party people or groups of two with laptops in here. It's very quiet.. now that I think of it, I don't even remember if there was any background music playing. I came at the request of a friend. Was turned off during my visit day. It was extremely humid outside. And it seemed no effort to counter that inside. There was no air conditioning (maybe it broke down) but then they have ceiling fans that aren't on when there is obviously electricity. It was so stuffy and uncomfortable. I even asked a worker if there was the possibility to turn them on and she said she didn't know and then walked away There was also really nowhere to sit... except 1 table that said for groups of 3 or more. In the entire place there was only one group of 3 anywhere. We asked and they initially told us no we couldn't sit there. Our faces prob showed the feeling we had toward that so they "allowed" us to sit there. Food and drinks average. Vibe for me did not hit If you need a quiet place that feels roomy and light this might be a place you could enjoy. Parking is a hit or miss. Street parking. Tends to be unhoused people under the influence out front on the strip of restaurants in general.
