The Highland Cafe
4112 Verdugo Rd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved neighborhood gem has earned serious loyalty across multiple locations with their knockout breakfast burritos and expertly crafted cold brew that keeps regulars coming back for years. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and social—think comfortable booths and welcoming patios where you can linger over coffee, ace your laptop work, or catch up with friends without feeling rushed. What really sets Highland Cafe apart is how they've woven themselves into the LA community fabric with thoughtful, locally-inspired menu options and a genuinely warm staff that makes every visit feel like you're walking into someone's favorite spot.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
