Finally got to check out Lalaland at The Grove. This spot is known for long lines, so I went on a…read moreFriday around 6pm. From ordering to getting my drink took about 20 minutes, which wasn't too bad. I ordered a large Matcha Squared Latte with less sweetness and oat milk (extra charge). I noticed they still added a couple pumps of syrup, but overall the drink wasn't too sweet and had a nice creamy top. The matcha itself was decent, but not as smooth as some of the top tier spots. I'm guessing it's because they prep things ahead instead of whisking each drink fresh. Overall it was good, but I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it. If anything, I'd just order online next time to skip the line.

There are some yummy options here; however, I am deeply disappointed…read more When you place an order, expect to wait a while for both ordering and picking it up. I expected some wait time due to the long line and the number of people waiting for their orders, but I didn't anticipate waiting 50 minutes. This location at The Grove is pretty noisy, but that's to be expected given the busy setting. The staff seems intense, which I believe is due to being short-staffed. When placing my order, the area was quite dirty and disorganized. If you had a question, the staff would push you along and quickly shift their attention elsewhere instead of helping the customer. When picking up my order, it took even longer because the drink I was given was incorrect. It took at least 10 minutes to get someone's attention just to fix it. The workers avoid making eye contact--possibly because they don't want to be compelled to help and would rather someone else handle the issue.

Back here for their Brown Sugar Sea Salt Latte as my first visit got me hooked by that drink. Also…read morejust like everyone else in the camp, they did have Vanilla cold foam so we gave it a try paired to their cold brew. Bit acidic for me but my husband loved it. My friend got their Strawberry Matcha and enjoyed it as well. Almost forgot to mention, just figured they now had pre-order option so you could just swing by and no need to wait!

Coffee for Sasquatch is well intentioned and I loved the attention to detail. From the silhouettes of the Sasquatch to the branding of the iced lattee cups creating a silhouette, everything was fully thought out. The staff was super friendly and I really enjoyed how they make so much of it in-house. This shop had a few tables to work at but they had some bench nooks to sit down and catch up in conversation. It was really vibrant and full of natural light. I will def be back if I find myself here. My fiance loved their cold brew and I inhaled my iced vanilla lavender oat milk latte which was so, so good.

This place is amazing, a book lover's dream! I could probably live here lol. The books are…read moreamazingly priced. You will not find better preowned prices on Amazon or other major book resellers, except Goodwill maybe. There are many structures (such as a metal vault) and beautiful designs made from uniquely binded books to relax around and explore. With two floors to adventure in, a cafe area, and even an few artists vendor areas, this is a good location for tourists and locals to get lost in!!

l've been here several times already and I'm always amazed that a place like this even exists. It's…read moresuch a unique store, and I've picked up books, coffee, and other merchandise on various visits all at good price. Even when I'm not looking to buy anything, it's still worth coming just to explore. The place is unlike anything else. It's also a perfect spot for anyone creating content for a social media travel page. Upstairs you'll find an art gallery and several other shops, while downstairs has old vinyl records and CDs. If you love that classic old bookstore smell, this place has it in full. Personally it's not my favorite, but definitely worth noting for those who do. The main downsides are parking and crowds. Finding a spot by car can be a challenge, and the store draws a good number of tourists so it can get pretty packed. If you're not a fan of crowds, just keep that in mind before you go.

It was slow, and after saying she'd come back, our server never checked in to take our food order. Ended up having to flag down another waitress, even though there were only two customers in this establishment . I also had to get up to ask for my bill and to go boxes after waving my hand in the air for a good minute as she (waitress) was talking to a male worker. Now we are sitting waiting for the bill I asked for when I waited for the to go boxes. Ambiance was cute and had a nice vibe, just wish the service matched it.

This is my local watering hole when it comes to coffee shops. And it's for that reason it pains me…read moreto give it a 4 star and not a 5. One of my favorite things about this place is that it's a low key chess haunt where really good players will come to challenge each other. These guys are better than any of your friends, I got destroyed by a handful of them and had a great time. Tanners also just nails that local coffee shop vibe, it's the kind of place you can spend a couple hours to relax which I love. The coffee is strong, pastries are decent, staff is usually friendly, but man the furniture here really bums out my bum. I like coming here to work, but it can be tough to find a good spot because everything feels a bit unbalanced. No shade to the couches that are located near the front that give the place a homey vibe. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. The daily roast is usually a solid pick if you don't know what to get.

Great local cafe with some of the hardest working staff in SoCal…read more I happened to be nearby and saw something online advertising their Salsa Night event. Apparently, half of LA got the same notice because by the time I arrived, it was PACKED! I grabbed one of the last stools in front of the coffee bar, and was later able to grab a corner table so I could order food. Definitely get here early if you want a table. The live band was fantastic! They played a lot of salsa classics, including some of my favorites. There was lots of dancing in the aisles and singing along. Such a great vibe. I also loved the decor, especially the collage on the main wall: A bright and beautiful homage to the City of Angels. The staff did their absolute best to deliver food and drinks, bus tables, and otherwise navigate the throngs of dancing patrons and I commend them for their agility. Onto the food and drink. There were so many delicious options to choose from and after an impossibly long time deliberating (and dancing), I decided on the salmon caesar salad. Fresh, flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed every bite. The strawberry lemonade was ok. Not worth what I paid for it. I expected something fresher and more flavorful... What I got was bland and watered down. I was planning to order dessert, but that salad was much more filling than I anticipated. Parking around here is kind of tight so plan ahead and consider taking a ride sharing service. I managed to snag one of the last parking spaces in the nearby residential area. Not sure I would have been so lucky if I had arrived a few minutes later. All told, this was a great place to spend a Saturday night. Will definitely check this place out again the next time I'm in LA.
