Crema's Take
“This hidden gem serves genuinely excellent food—a devoted regular has been coming back for nine years specifically for their Chinese chicken salad—alongside quality coffee and friendly service that keeps people returning. The "back of a building" location near LACMA means you'll skip the crowds while still getting fast service and creative sandwiches like jalapeño BEC that justify the minor treasure hunt to find it. If you want a reliable neighborhood spot with real personality and surprisingly good kitchen execution, this is worth the detour.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Ok place if you can find it. It’s at the back of a building that says no public access, but they don’t mean it.
Grabbed a iced latte and jalapeño BEC and it was delicious. Friendly, fast service. Easy access from LACMA or La Brea Tar Pits.
Everything is fantastic and these are the nicest people on the planet!!!
My favorite spot in LA!!!! They also have the best Chinese chicken salad in Los Ángeles… I’ve been coming here for 9 years and they never disappoint food is always fresh and staff is always friendly!!! Definitely a must when your in the area!!!
Convenient and great sandwiches!
