Picnic Coffee
3116 1/2 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Picnic Coffee is an early-opening LA gem that wins hearts with its charming, Instagram-worthy atmosphere and a menu of genuinely creative signature drinks—think rich Spanish lattes and three-shot shakratos that stand out from the typical café fare. While indoor seating is tight and you might find yourself perched outside with your cup, the distinctive coffee quality and playful flavor experiments (Vienna lattes with vegan cream, pistachio milk options) make it worth the squeeze. This is the kind of place where the experience—the vibe, the barista energy, the unique drink offerings—matters just as much as the espresso in your cup.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu. Opens early.

The coffee was good, but this place is really all about the atmosphere. It’s such a cute and charming café. If I lived in LA, I’d definitely be a regular. ღ˘◡˘ற
