What customers say

Didn’t realize the Las Palmas Hotel across the street is the famous one from the “Pretty Woman” movie (Julie Roberts & Richard Gere). The espresso here is good, so a latte will be quality here anytime. The guys here make a great sandwich, so try their food if hungry for a snack.

VERY COMPELLING ! I loved the avocado toast and yogurt parfait. i also got a double shot espresso that was made to perfection. i came at noon on a sunday and was the only customer. there’s 3-4 tables outside and a few spots inside. Not a huge place, but very nice. Barista was very nice as well!

A perfect breakfast spot with freshly baked goods, breakfast sandwiches and great coffee. Beans are roasted in-house and there are a variety of options available. Dining in is Al fresco style on the outside of the cafe.

I read about compelling on Drift Magazine, I've seen their beens in other coffee shops, so when I visited this coffee shop tucked away in the heart of Hollywood, I was a little surprised to find out how little it is. There are only standing room inside the shop and two small tables outside.
