This coffee spot is so cute! The only issue is it's accessibility during the week. It's a part of…read moresome office buildings, so this is more of an office coffee spot. That means parking is a pain in the butt. There is a parking lot behind the offices, but Mon-Fri the prices are absurd. If you want to check it out, I would recommend street parking or come during the weekend when the parking lot is free! Actual coffee spot is very clean and well decorated. It's easily a place where you can spend hours if you manage to grab a table. Great place for conversation, hangouts or work. Service is great. Because the store is small, the employees are either pumping out drinks during busy hours or getting creative with their time when it's slow. They seem to enjoy what they do which makes the experience better. Coffee is solid and they have quite an interesting list of combinations available.

The cafe has a lovely, clean interior with chairs and booth seating! The booths offer pillows and…read morecushions to make yourself comfortable, which is perfect for study sessions or a beverage date with your partner or friend. The cashier was super friendly, offered detailed descriptions of the drinks, and can definitely help you decide on your order if you are unsure of what to get. The parking is street parking with a meter, but you can definitely park at a nearby public lot and walk a bit! My reason for deducting a star is because the drinks themselves were a bit bland. We ordered the iced Aurora Latte and the Raspberry Hibiscus Tea. The Aurora Latte had too much milk and I couldn't really taste the coffee itself, and the Raspberry Hibiscus Tea was watered down. I would come back for the ambiance, but not necessarily for the beverages themselves (it's possible that other items on the menu are good and we just got unlucky with our order!).

A cute lunch spot. They have really good pastries, last time we tried the strawberry pie and it was…read moreso yummy. I also like their chai latte. We got a quick lunch a couple of days ago and I've got to try their Chinese chicken salad, it's their version with a crispy chicken, and has peaches, it was pretty good. It's always so packed, which is great for them, but it gets loud very quickly. Not really suitable for working or having a chat. I'd say it's more of a bite and go kind of place. But their pastry section is definitely worth a visit.

Claudine is a busy cafe on a bustling strip of Ventura Blvd, sharing the block with several other…read morepopular restaurants -- thankfully, there's a parking lot with 2 hours free, so you can get yourself situated without much stress. The modern, fast-casual spot features a wide array of baked goods (all looking fantastic) and a menu of all-day breakfast dishes, sandwiches, burgers, quiches, and a range of other options. You order at the counter with a friendly host, then wait at your table for a runner to bring your food, which arrives pretty quickly. The crowd is a mix of young parents with kids, Hollywood types having script meetings, and all sorts of friends having a meal and catching up. It's lively and a bit loud, but you can also sit outside if that suits you more. My wife and I both ordered breakfast for lunch, with her opting for a pancake. Large, malty and nicely cooked, this was a good-looking and filling flapjack that could be improved with the addition of fresh butter and warm syrup (rather than the pre-prepped plastic ramekin of room temp syrup). I ordered the Hashtag: a skillet of Hash Browns topped with Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeños and a pair of Over-Medium Eggs. The potatoes were nicely crisped in the skillet, with the bacon adding a smoky depth that paired well with the richness of the cheddar and the spice of the jalapeño. The very-properly-prepared eggs had yolks just gooey enough to become a sauce for the layered hash below, and making for a very appealing savory/spicy bite. I also appreciated the size of the portion, which was moderate rather than over-abundant; that keeps the price reasonable and allows the components of the dish to work together without anything becoming overwhelming. In the end, Claudine is a reliable place for a casual meal with friends; a place where you can relax and feel at home while away from home.

There's a communal table along with other indoor seating plus some outdoor seating available too.

Definitely worth a visit! They have more than coffee. They provide a space with a surprisingly…read morelarge menu! First, the obvious. Coffee is solid. It's a great place to hang. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. BUT BEWARE indoor seating gets competitive. Especially on a hot day, you'll often see people moving from seat to seat to get away from the entrance or are waiting for a seat to be freed inside. It's a great place for anything really. I've had hours of conversations, reading and work done here. I've also seen many others do the same. My main con with this place is the parking situation. The parking lot is TINY, so you have to park locally. That's about a 3-5 minute walking distance from the store. I normally wouldn't mind, but it bothers me on hot days. The food is so interesting. They have both healthy and hearty options at a competitive price. It's the classic Chicken & Waffles, Avocado Toast, Bouquet Burrito (a breakfast burrito) and Breakfast Tacos. Someone in the kitchen also likes kimchi and loves mixing it in their food because they also serve Kimchi Breakfast Tacos and Kimchi Grilled Cheese. I don't know how many visits it'll take to fully experience this place, but I think it's worth it.

The cost here after a tip - and the waiter definitely should not have received a tip - was almost $100. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but this place was just very skippable.

We ended up getting an iced Matcha Latte and an iced Matcha Einspanner, which were both delicious. The matcha at Re Coffee tends to have a rich, earthy taste as opposed to a sweeter, artificial flavor, which really demonstrates the quality of the ingredients they use. You could also choose to add on syrups to sweeten your beverage, so if you aren't a huge fan of earthy matcha, you can customize your drink. They also provide milk alternatives (oat milk, almond milk, etc.) for those who prefer non-dairy drinks, however, this will cost $1 extra. The space itself is on the smaller side and has a very industrial, contemporary design. You can definitely sit down to do some work or have a chat with friends, but most people tend to order and pick up their drinks. The seating is concrete benches with small tables, which isn't the most comfortable but looks very aesthetic.
