    WOW! One of the coolest coffee shops ever. Located right next door to the Vista Theater, this place truly feels like stepping back in time. The decor is incredibly nostalgic, they even have small old-school TVs inside, the kind with built in VCRs. I felt like I was time traveling the moment I walked in. Service was good, and my latte was solid, not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. The pastries looked great, and I appreciated that they offer gluten free options as well. Overall, it's just such a cool, unique vibe that's hard to emulate. Even if you're not a huge coffee person, it's worth stopping by for the atmosphere alone. They also sell beer and Rose if you were looking for something else :)

    No parking, just street parking. Such a cozy environment. Before even entering the cafe, you can smell the aroma of the coffee luring you in. Even on a rainy day this place is popping. The workers there are so kind and helpful. This place does amazing coffees, matcha on the other hand is alright. I would say if you are craving matcha, go across the street to Handles. They do have seasonal drinks that you must try. I got their signature cookie butter latte and wow. Finished it right away. So good, I can't wait to come again when I'm in the area!

    First of all, it is a really cool place, and I was kind of blown away on how cool everything was. If you haven't had a chance to check it out, definitely go. Their prices are fair. I mean, especially now everything's expensive but the coffee is definitely worth it. Also the people that work there are so friendly and nice. It just makes everything come together better. As for the place itself, it's really cool. There's all this memorabilia has that cool 6070 style. They have a bunch of merchandise that you can buy which of course we did when we went. And all in all, just really cool. (sidenote) to the manager/managers,,,, if any of the collectibles/action figures goes on sale, please let me know.....

    The nostalgic ambiance is worth the visit alone! If there's ever a place that tastes like the 80's and 90's this would be the joint! A must go if you're watching a movie at THE VISTA not mention Pam's Cafe is the cinefiles café paradise. They also have wine so it's a pleasant touch when a café does both uppers and downers.

    This cafe is located right next to the Vista theater. My husband and I decided to stop by after watching a movie. The inside, although small, is packed with so much movie memorabilia. It's also decorated with fun novelty items that are related to movies. Unfortunately, the cafe was closing 10 minutes after we arrived. We weren't able to look and really enjoy the place like we wanted to, but the employees still allowed us to order and sip a bit of our drink before they closed up. I'll definitely be back to try their snacks and bites. They had some seasonal items and Cap'N Crunch cereal (because it's Tarantino's favorite). The drink I ordered was a matcha latte, which was actually pretty good. Definitely visit if you're in the area or just finished a movie at the Vista. It's definitely worth it!

    Stopped by Pam's Coffy and went with the butterscotch caramel coffee and a slice of cherry almond pie. The coffee had a really bold, rich flavor--serious gourmet stuff--and the pie was super fresh and delicious, a perfect pairing. The vibe definitely leans into Tarantino fandom, so you'll see plenty of fanboys hanging around, but it adds to the quirky atmosphere. Overall, a cool spot with quality coffee and desserts that hit the mark. Would recommend if you're in the area and want something a little different.

    I love coming here because they have different options. Sometimes the big chain coffee shops get boring and this is perfect. Amazing quality coffee and pastries, it hits the spot for an afternoon pick me up or a morning treat. They usually get busy in the morning so I try to come during my afternoon break when it's more calm. The coffee itself is always perfectly made and they also offer different dairy options. The staff is always friendly.

    Amazing coffee, service, and food! My fiancé and I tried Pam's Coffy on Pam Grier's birthday, so it was fitting to get a coffee and a birthday cake treat. The coffee is so good, and their treats are amazing! My fiancé likes their brown sugar pie and I love their strawberry pie. Their coffees really hit the spot and they have a nice location right next to the Vista theater. You can bring in your treats and coffee into the theater since they're both owned by Tarantino. This place is a must and my fiancé and I will be going back!

    I absolutely love this coffee shop! It is small in a good way as there is such a great atmosphere: cozy home-like chairs, fun menu options, and awesome staff!! I had been meaning to come here when it first opened and I finally came when I had the chance. I was unsure what to order as their drink options are very unique and customizable! *Add different flavored syrups to your drinks whether you want aromic flowers, fruit, sweet etc. * I ordered an Iced Butterscotch Coffee and requested it to be a little less sweet. I was in love with this drink! I love Butterscotch candy but was worried it might be too sweet as a drink but the lovely cashier with the blue hair reassured me that is their most loved drink. *They do not lid your drink but you can go ahead and do that at the countertop full of cream, sugar, lids, napkins, and stirrers. I would totally make this my go-to drink place if it was closer to me in Burbank! I vote next location should be in Burbank. I will keep coming when I'm in the area. The drinks are delicious and not overhyped at all.

    Serious ambiance, evoking 70's nostalgia for any GenXer. Check out the photos, they tell it all. There's a fun VHS viewing vestibule on the side of the shop. I like the fact that they only serve drip coffee here, though enhance-able via a selection of syrups and flavorings. They also host a variety of coffee-shop styled sweets and fun Pam Grier, Coffy merchandise. The staff was very friendly, happy to point out the various attractions - I was torn between the Fonz lunchbox and the John Travolta doll. Lots of comfortable seating, both inside and out.

    was attending a screening at the vista theater and had to swing by this joint coffee shop right in the same building (only accessible from outside the theatre). trying a new coffee place on a trip is an essential, and pam's coffy might've just won the prize this time around. it truly delivered in every aspect of great coffee, great service, and just impeccable vibes inside. i got the brown sugar cinammon latte and my girlfriend got their chai, each were excellent! she is a barista so she knows good coffee, and she praised its smoothness and balance of flavor and espresso. the chai was also great, super flavorful. the cups even come with a fun little wrap showcasing the logo and the back stating "a cup by quentin tarantino." fun stuff of course the coffee shop is based on pam grier's iconic movie Coffy, and there is some excellent post art from that movie on display. this never feels gimmicky, but more a true love letter to cinema that you can really feel tarantino's touch on (which he does own this shop and the vista). if you are a coffee (coffy too, of course) and a movie lover, it's a must stop! especially before catching a movie at the beautiful vista theater next door

    Welcome to Pam's Coffy.

    Pam's Coffy (est 2024) is a cute tiny coffee shop in Los Feliz. It was named in honor of Pam Grier and her iconic role in the 1973 blaxplotation film, "Coffy," the coffee shop is attached to The Vista Theatre, owned by Quentin Tarantino. I came early morning to grab a coffee and check out their vibe. From the outside it doesn't juts out because it blends quite well with the theatre bldg. Indoor space was extremely small but the 80's decor and tvs were a good distraction. The coffee shop serves blends, butterscotch, lavender and vanilla flavors. Moreover, they also have baked goods, many of which are vegan or gluten-free. I ordered a hot 12oz Lavender Latte. It was brewed perfectly and tastes great; I really dig their coffee sleeves. Staff and service were amiable and fast, respectively. Seats (outdoor and indoor) look good. Atmosphere was very relaxing. Prices were competitive and economically fair. Street and metered parking available. Overall, I had a good experience and coffee. This will be my go to coffee shop.

I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

Long hallway, people scattered at tables, and then you take a left and suddenly there's this room with round study tables and dividers that give each spot just enough space without making it feel like a library cubicle. Actually it kind of does feel like a library. One room does anyway. Another room goes full cafeteria. The furniture doesn't exactly match and I don't know what the overall vibe is supposed to be but it works. It just works. We went in the middle of the day. Busy but quiet in that way where the energy is there but nobody is performing. If you want a table you need a reservation. Good to know going in. We kept it simple. French fries, carrot cake, milk tea for me and a Korean coffee for Fadi. The carrot cake was legitimately great. The menu has a lot more going on than our choices reflect. I looks like they do some Italian things, among other stuff. I am pretty sure I saw carbonara on the menu so yea, we barely scratched the surface. Forgot to check if it's open late night but if it is, what a great spot for late night studying. There's just something about it that makes you want to share it; not post it, share it, like actually grab a friend and walk them through the door so they can have the experience themselves. We'll be back soon, probably with people in tow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).
