Romancing the Bean Cafe

The coffee is excellent, smoothies and juices are prepared fresh every time, desserts look good too. It's a 5 star stop for drinks, service lacked friendliness when we were there though and it was rather cold inside for a December day.

I want to like this place but every time I’ve come I’ve had to wait so long for my food. This last time they even forgot to put my order in all together. I sat waiting for 25 minutes after ordering until finally someone asked if I was waiting for food. They had to look through the register orders to find mine. Disappointed in service. Food was just ok.

This is such a cute place to get some work done or read a book! I was only visiting LA for a short time but my friend recommended to try this cafe. I’m glad I did, the girl who took my order was very nice and friendly. My drink was finished so quickly and was tasty! :)

Romancing the Bean is more than a coffee shop, it’s a hug. Nestled among vintage boutiques, whimsical gift shops, and crystal havens, this cozy cafe is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel at home. The space is charming and thoughtfully curated, with antique mirrors, chandeliers, and warm black-and-white decor. The quote on the wall: “Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” For me it would say Eating is like love only because I don’t cook. 😂 The menu is packed with fresh, delicious options from hearty salads, paninis to vegan muffins and cakes. Their coffee? Always strong, always smooth, always exactly what you need. And the kindest people working behind the counter.

Nice relaxing coffee shop. Ordered breakfast and coffee. Order for coffee is called out to pick up at counter. Breakfast orders are delivered to the table. Place was clean but can get crowded during peak hours. Interior was simple and rustic. We enjoyed eating breakfast and chatting here.
