A major tip coming here is you should definitely park in the residential area, parking on the street and feeding the meters will cost you 15 minutes a quarter, versus parking on a residential street and paying nothing.

I live here in Atwater Village and this is the place to get coffee, I'm embarrassed to say I don't always go here, I go to the dreaded Starbucks. That's only because of the convenience of parking at Starbucks, but no more I promise! From now on its supporting the local small businesses. For the locals this is a great stop by whenever you walk your dog and selection here is numerous, both in hot drinks and cold drinks, however you want to satisfy your caffeine fix, this is the place to come.







The only thing I really would like is a website for this place, there is a lot of different drinks they offer and seeing what they serve before you actually visit the place would be helpful. The inside is kinda small, but sitting outside is nice to, especially with LA weather.

With over 600+ reviews on Yelp, I don't think I'll be saying anything new and relevant about this restaurant. I came here for my friends birthday and had a good time. It's loud, noisy, a real party atmosphere. I will say when they play music, its pretty repetitive, I mean they really need to mix up the songs they play, the night was a constant repeat of the same songs, over and over again.













Come hungry, come very hungry, eating here is a protein overdose. Now if its your birthday, tradition here is the waiters come and literally spray you with champagne, no joke, you get spraying like if you where the Lakers celebrating a championship. Since my 4 year old nephew was there, we decided it wouldn't be appropriate. In any event it was a good time had by all.

Huell Howser



Howell Howser is.....AMAZING!

If your live in California, you know the name Huell Howser. He probably has the best job in the state. I've been watching him since his Video Log days on KCET, our PBS station here in Los Angeles. His recent podcast release is freaking hilarious! Huell pretty much comes to a backwards town in the middle of no where, Newberry Springs, CA to be exact, and gets into a lot of awkward situations with the locals, it is funny as hell. To check out that episode go his website and click on the "New Calgold Podcast".......http://www.calgold.com/
