Crema's Take
“Valerie is a pastry-focused cafe where the baked goods are genuinely worth the trip—think coffee crunch cake that'll make you reconsider your dietary restrictions and seasonal pies that inspire repeat visits. The stripped-down vibe is part of the charm: a mini mart setup with a small patio, dog-friendly seating, and a staff that handles hiccups with grace, making it feel more like a neighborhood hangout than a polished coffee destination. If you're in Echo Park for excellent pastries and cappuccinos in a low-key setting, this beats the nearby Canyon coffee shop for quality.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Parking available.

Valerie is a cute, dog-friendly place with some really delicious sweet treats and other condiments and treats. The pumpkin petit four was incredible, and I want it again! I believe it is seasonal, but I highly recommend. I am only docking the food rating because they ran out of…
Their pastries are amazing. I killed their strawberry galette and then went back in to get more slices of the passion fruit pie. So delicious. The sandwich was good but it was a super hot day and it’s hard to get shade especially cause it’s so popping. So we just quickly ate and…
Cute little spot! The coffee, pastries and food are all top notch. I was especially impressed by the customer service when my food ticket got mixed up and one of the servers brought me a free pastry to compensate for the mix up. I really appreciated it and that kind of customer…
