Crema's Take
“Menotti's has earned a devoted following for consistently excellent espresso-based drinks—regulars swear by their oat lattes and return even when ordering online from out of state. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious for LA: friendly, efficient baristas who move through lines quickly, solid pastries and donuts, and a genuine sense that they care about getting your coffee right. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that doesn't try too hard but somehow executes better than places that do.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This was a stellar experience. I had no knowledge of this café. I was down the block and needed an afternoon pick me up, so I decided to try it on a whim. I sort of rolled my eyes at the highly priced $8.00 vegan Spanish latte, but ordered it anyway. I thought it sounded…
