Jenny D.

Came for an event. It's best to come early if you're coming for a show. It's a small venue / theatre in a high traffic neighborhood. Parking is an issue. Popcorn and cookies were delicious but not as good as my wine haha. I had a great experience and would come back for an event or show at this location. Found street parking but it was a walk and I had company. Be mindful if you're walking alone.

enjoyed seeing the Cambridge Footlights here in September! A good theater. The posted capacity was 96 seats, but we only saw about 60 seats. No assigned seating. When they open the doors, rush in to grab the only table at the back of the room! With fewer than 100 seats, performers need not be union members. The courtyard was quiet and comfortable. Glass panes excluded wind and traffic noise. Some good drinks

I was here for the first time for a show. Cute little corner bar/café. I saw the most luscious looking croissants behind the glass so ofc I had to order one...or two. I got the plain croissant and spinach croissant. PLEASE I hope they never change their supplier. Literally the most flakiest, butteriest croissants this side of the Atlantic. The bathrooms were clean. It's a chill vibe. Would come again to work and chill to see how it is during the day. Parking is street so be prepared to Uber/bike/scoot, or you can drive around ten hours to find a spot.

They weee ok . I had a coffee and a pastry and was there for a while so I got the chicken sandwich, it wasn't great. It was small and lacked flavor. But, the guy working was amazing! Super friendly and nice. Not sure it was enough to get me back

Water

Excellent water. You can ask the employees for water and they offer bottled water or this pictured tap water with ice. It is a good-sized plastic cup with the perfect amount of coldness. I recommend this water experience.

This review is for the venue not the cafe because we didn't eat. There is free neighborhood street parking on Lyric. There is metered parking on Hyperion. We got a great spot just a few houses away. We went to see Scott Thompson from Kids In The Hall do his Buddy Cole Monologues show. Bought super cheap tickets online. Easy check in outside the cafe. We sat in the back. It's a very small place so all seats were fabulous! Scott was HILARIOUS! Go see him if you can. Great show. Thanks Lyric Hyperion Cafe!

Small comedy theater that's open most of the day for coffee and such. Good place to do some writing or catch a show.

Do I need tickets prior for the shows or just buy at the door?

Most shows you can purchase at the door but you'll want to check ahead maybe the day before or day of just in case!

When I went to pick it up, I grabbed a saucer to avoid spilling on my way back to my seat. Before I could even walk away, one of the baristas snatched it from my hand and said, "You're not allowed to use that. The saucers go with the latte mugs!" 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.

Nothing about the outside tells you anything. Just a door. Easy to miss, easy to walk past. We…read morealmost did. Glad we did not. Inside it's a whole thing. 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

She let me know that Memorylook is known for einspanners and they have their own parking lot. When there's a parking lot on-site, say less.. Parking wasn't too difficult to come by, and there are even a few electric charging spots if you need it. I stopped by around noontime and there were people inside/outside chatting, working, taking pics in the photobooth, etc. The line went by quickly and I had my hojicha einspanner in no time! It was so tasty!! The cream top was light and not too sweet. The hojicha was smooth. I really enjoyed it, and the latte definitely helped me keep cool while driving around LA on such a hot day. If I lived in LA, I could see myself coming here to do work on my laptop or to meet a friend. Such a cute, spacious spot!

I came around 5 pm on a Wednesday and was able to find a seat inside without issue…read more Parking:5/5 Easy free lot parking out back Ordered : Matcha einspanner 4/5: this was delish, it tasted more of a dessert rather than a matcha bevy. The cream top works nicely with the matcha, the matcha flavor is pretty light Blood Orangeade 1/5: this was honestly not my fav. I didn't end up finishing it, it tasted like syrup+sparkling water. The drinks weren't spectacular, but given the easy parking and tables, I'd prob come back to study
