    This is a piece of history, not to be missed! We enjoyed sandwiches, pasta salad and enjoyed sitting out on their porch. There's a bathroom downstairs but not easy to access.

    I love the coffee here and this place is all about the locals and ambiance. The only negative I have is people sitting for hours working with only one cup of coffee and taking up the limited seating. Parking is very limited also. But it's my local and I love it.

    One of my newfound favorite spots. The atmosphere is wonderful. It is a meeting ground for people from all walks, which makes it feel like like a place stopped in time. The fact that it is tucked in among the canyon only helps create a sense of peace--at once like being out in the Adirondacks and in 1960s California. The coffee is good--occasionally a bit buzzy for me, but perfectly nice. It's not the main reason I come. Loved my almond croissant the one time I had it! Overall, worth a visit for the feeling of being in the space. To me, everything else is extra. Extra details: no WiFi, cash or Venmo only, small parking lot, outdoor seating. People are friendly and will often share their tables (or at least they did for me).

    Sooo great and picturesque. Quaint store on one of my favorite streets in LA and so full of history too. The place is just so pleasant, the market has great products, and the seating area is so pretty. Good place to hang, eat, and study like I did. The place is reminiscent of Europe according to my European friend lol. Parking is a bit of a hassle but not too bad around non-rush hours :) music they play is so good toooo

    We've been coming here for years and it's always the best-- just got a almond milk cappuccino that is seriously the best prepared espresso drink I've had in months between Los Angeles, San Francisco, and everywhere in between... Lily not only makes excellent coffees that are super convenient in a surprisingly remote neighborhood, but the vibe and kindness never fails. The pastries also never disappoint, I always recommend this spot! thank you lily for the love!

    This is by far the coolest coffee place in the city. Yeah, baby. Come for a chat. The store has general store written all over it and definitely feels like you've gone camping! They have a salad/food bar too with lots of healthy options. Great history with this place too, check it out!

    I highly recommend the Hawaj Latte for a new  experience.

    Coffee generally makes me too buzzy, but the decaf with hawaj is perfect positivity for me. And the owner gets pastries from the best shop in LA, I think, La Chouquette on Melrose.

    Lilly has been a part of Laurel Canyon for decades and the love she puts into every cup of coffee shows. You start going for the delicious coffee but you keep coming back for the community. This is one of the only places in L.A. that still has that has that old-world, true neighborhood feel and that is because of Lilly and Spike. All artwork surrounding the cart and the County Store has been painted by the very talented Spike. It's one of the most special magical places you can come (pets welcome!) for your daily java. Lilly can make you coffee however you want with whatever type of milk you want, hot or cold, decaf or regular, you name it and her pastry section (scones, croissants, you name it) is always fresh and delicious. Drip or espresso, whatever you choose. Parking is free and they have their own lot that they share with the Country Store and Pace but you won't come at night for the coffee (mostly because she's closed) so you don't have to worry about the valet. If you like delicious coffee that can transform you from a zombie-like state into a bundle of happiness, this is your spot. Hours are 7:30am to 2:00pm daily. Your life is about to get better.

    Brandy and Karon.

Dropped by on a weekend and had to park on the street like normal anywhere in LA. We walked down the street to find a very, very busy cafe and super packed but that's a sign, right? Absolutely. 100%. We hopped in line to order and a girl from afar complimented our pokemon shirts lol immediately put a smile on my face. We ordered and the drinks came out pretty quick! Got the Saint Latte and Pistachio Latte and let me tell you. This is hands down the best pistachio latte I've ever had!! Super creamy and the strongness was perfect.

My husband and I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, although almost all the pastries were already sold out, so I'm guessing the real rush is in the mornings. Overall, I personally wasn't a fan, mainly because the drinks and most of the food felt pretty underwhelming and lacked flavor. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was honestly the most bland matcha I've had, which is surprising considering there was strawberry puree in it. It didn't taste low quality, just very muted and not something I'd order again, especially since I get matcha (and strawberry matcha) pretty often elsewhere. My husband got the pistachio latte and liked it, but mentioned it leaned a bit too sweet for his taste. For food, we tried the breakfast bagel and I genuinely can't believe how bland it was. It had all the components you'd expect, everything bagel, eggs, cheese, aioli, bacon, and more, but somehow it just fell flat. I kept wanting to add salt or some kind of sauce to bring it to life. I actually stopped eating it because it didn't feel worth it to keep going for something so flavorless. The one highlight was the spinach quiche. I really enjoyed it and would come back for that specifically, although it did feel a little pricey for what it was. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if someone else wanted to go, I wouldn't object.
