This cafe is quite spacious with a lot of seating outdoors with covered and uncovered seating. The staff were super nice and friendly and welcoming. They were able to offer their fan faves and personal faves of menu items and provide great recommendations. One of their executive staff Karina was there to greet us and welcome us and offer the amazing suggestion of trying their waffles. I ordered the Dialog detox smoothie with kale, spirulina, hemp milk , banana and pineapple. It was the perfect balance of sweet and earthy and it was a great pick. The star of the show was their waffles with strawberry butter. Their strawberry butter is made with colostrum and made in house. It was so creamy, sweet and delicious! The waffles was fluffy and soft and the right amount of crisp. The waffles and butter just melts in your mouth. I had a great experience and will definitely return whenever im in the area. I highly recommend yall to stop by!

Our server Hector was super sweet, made sure we had our order correct, and checked in to ensure our experience was memorable The ambiance is inviting, fresh, and very up beat! We got to meet the owner Todd who introduced himself. I admire when owners interact with their customers, it truly shows their love for what they do! Now for the food! WOW! The burger was absolutely incredible. Hands down the best burger I have had at a restaurant in a LONG TIME. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, the cheese was melted beautifully, & the onion sauce that was on the burger was so tasty. It was the perfect combo that melts in your mouth The bun to meat ratio was perfect. Every bite had meat, cheese, and bun. The fries cooked in beef tallow were fantastic! Beautifully crispy and flavorful! The yuzu lemonade tasted fresh and tangy. Not too sweet and not too bitter! Overall such a memorable experience! I will definitely be coming back to check out their breakfast!

Verve on Melrose is my default morning move and has been for years. Figured it deserved its own…read morereview since I've probably done a hundred meetings here. For context, I staff talent for corporate gigs and comedy shows out of LA, and Verve sits in that perfect WeHo sweet spot where I can take an 8am with an agent, walk a comic through their set list at 10, and still make it to a lunch in Beverly Hills without breaking a sweat. Address is 8925 Melrose, right at the far end before Doheny. The space is the draw. Wrap around patio, big airy windows, designed by Commune (same firm that did the old Ace Hotels), so it has that California bohemian thing without trying too hard. Indoor and outdoor seating that actually works in both directions. The patio gets the morning sun and there's enough shade by midday that you're not melting through a meeting. Coffee is genuinely good. They roast their own out of Santa Cruz and they do not mess around. I drink the drip black most mornings, occasionally a cortado if I'm dragging. The single origins rotate and the baristas can actually talk about them without getting condescending, which is rare in this town. Matcha is solid if that's your thing. The Streetlevel espresso is the workhorse and it's consistent across visits, which matters when you're here three times a week. Food is limited but smart. Avocado toast on Superba bakery bread is the move. Chia pudding is fine. They have a few pastries that come and go. Don't come here hungry expecting a real breakfast, come here for fuel. Now the real talk. This place is FULL of people performing the LA laptop life. Aspiring screenwriters typing aggressively, influencers setting up tripods on the patio, "founders" on Zoom calls way too loudly. Some mornings you can barely find a table because someone has set up a six hour office for the cost of one iced latte. If you're meeting a client and need a quiet corner, get there before 9 or accept that you're holding meetings in a low key zoo. Service is fast and unpretentious which is the saving grace. The line moves, mobile order works, baristas don't make you feel dumb for ordering something basic. Phone is 310 385 9605 if you ever need to call ahead, though I don't know why you would. Pricing is what you'd expect. $6 for a drink, $9 for a drink with food, $20 if you're getting toast and a pastry too. Not cheap, not insulting, exactly what specialty coffee costs in WeHo in 2026. One small thing I'll knock them on. Bathroom situation is rough during peak hours. One bathroom, always a line, no real solution. If you have any kind of coffee related urgency, plan accordingly. Bottom line. Verve Melrose is the most reliable morning spot in this part of town if you need good coffee, a decent table, and the option to take a meeting without explaining where you are. Not the most romantic coffee experience in LA, not the one I'd send a tourist to, but if you live and work here it's the layup. I've taken comics here before their first big corporate gig to settle them down and it works every time. Something about the room makes everyone feel like they've already made it a little. Four stars. Five if you can find parking.

This Verve location is on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, and I've mostly visited when beginning…read moreor ending a bike ride originating at this cafe. This point is key as this neighborhood can be tricky to park in during peak business hours even though there are several metered spots available in front of the shop and on surrounding streets. I recently visited on a Friday morning and found nearby parking within walking distance, and you could also park at the nearby library and walk if the cafe if circling around for a spot is getting you nowhere. Now, on to the cafe itself! Verve offers a variety of drinks along with pastries for sale, and they even hosted a cookbook popup during my recent visit. I usually get espresso-based drinks or their cold brew, and I've never been disappointed by the drink quality or the time it takes to prepare my beverages. There's ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and I could see why this would be a popular spot for reading or getting work on your laptop done.

Alfred Coffee Alfred…read moreon Melrose Place will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of the very first truly gourmet coffees I ever had, and to this day it still fills me with the same sense of joy and nostalgia every time I walk in. The coffee is consistently excellent -- rich, smooth, and crafted with care -- but what makes this location so magical is the feeling. Tucked into the charming Melrose Place courtyard, it has that perfect blend of chic and cozy, with the iconic "But first, coffee" energy that somehow never gets old. It's the kind of spot where a simple coffee feels like a ritual, a treat, and a little moment of happiness all at once. Stylish, warm, and endlessly feel-good -- Alfred isn't just coffee, it's a mood.

Unfortunately, Community Goods is worth the hype and I will be coming back and waiting in line haha…read more I went for the first time a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning around 9:30am and waited 1.5 hours. The line is not for the faint of heart. I tried their matcha einspanner, breakfast sliders, and pistachio toast and all three were AMAZING. - Matcha Einspanner: One of the best matchas I've ever had! The matcha is so well balanced - you can actually taste the matcha, not too sweet, and creamy too. They also sprinkle sea salt on top which helps enhance the matcha flavor. My only complaint is that I wish the cup was bigger. - Breakfast Sliders: I wasn't expecting much from the sliders, but everyone always hypes up their slides, so I knew I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The egg is so fluffy and the sauces that come with it are so delicious, especially their hot sauced. I added bacon and avocado too and it was great. - Pistachio Toast: I feel like their pistachio toast is not talked about enough. It was so yummy and satisfying that I wish I could get another one. The toast is hearty and the pistachio spread with sea salt, olive oil, and olive oil is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'm still thinking about their toast. Although it is quite pricey, I think the taste and quality justify the price. The interior is small and there's about 6 tables outside which is pretty crowded so you might have to take it elsewhere to enjoy. Parking is easy with metered street parking or free parking in the neighborhoods.

The line was full of restless people and It was overwhelming. It was hot outside. It's pricey also. But my food was delicious. I recommend but beware you need to make it an event instead of a stop. The staff was friendly despite the amount of people. Waiting in line at community goods is the equivalent of dining at a restaurant start to finish. That includes finding somewhere to park. So if you have a day off work and have time to kill but also want to get hard earned coffee come here It's pretty good but make your wait worth it and get the oats.

Had a friend's meet up reunion at Sweets Talk in West Hollywood and it was so much fun…read more You cannot miss the venue because it says "Sweets Talk" outside of the place in huge letters and there's a boba drinks sandwich boards advertising on the sidewalk. It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!

It's not overly sweet at all, which makes it even better, and the flavor is so rich and delicious without being heavy.

Every bite is seriously so yummy. If you're even remotely considering the Taro Cheesecake, get it. I'll definitely be ordering again.

Coffee and dreams make my mild depression disappear. Haha. Let's begin this cafe review…read more Pantheon Coffee is a modern and vibrant cafe house with a seating capacity of roughly 25-30 commoners. It's located in a tiny plaza on Fairfax avenue in WeHo. They offer some of the classic coffee and teas as well as speciality drinks. Furthermore, they have some delicious pasties from a famous bakery. PC's interior layout is very spacious with curated greek decor and abundance of natural light-thanks to its large windows. Atmosphere was very cozy as well as its chairs. I like that they have a piano and books and greek god marble statues. As a first time visitor, I ordered an Iced Apollo Latte and a warmed Chocolate Croissant. Both items, I truly enjoyed consuming like a demigod. Staff were affable and competent. Service was bloody spot on. Parking lot and street metered parking are available. Overall, I truly had a nice experience and enjoyed my latte and chocolate croissant.
