In Short – This casual, Westwood coffeehouse doubles as a used bookstore, where local college types come to type, talk, log on or read without being bothered. Secluded nooks offer enough peace and quiet for writers to freely commune with their muses, outdoor patio features prime people-watching. Menu includes veggie sandwiches, omelettes and turkey roll-ups. Sweets like tiramisu and carrot cake accompany their large array of organic hot and cold coffee drinks.

Great Place To Study or Have Lunch

by ItsNotDelivery

So I went to the Novel Cafe on Gayley a few days ago for a early dinner/study session. I was very surprised by the FREE INTERNET and friendly atmosphere. I sat outside on the patio for about an hour and then moved inside. The waitstaff was extremely helpful but at the same time understood that I was studying and gave me some privacy. I ordered a burger which was very tasty, really juicy. I highly recommend the Novel in Westwood. There were people there just for dinner so I guess its not just a study place but a real cafe.

  • Pros: Food, Study area, FREE INTERNET
  • Cons: A few dollars too expensive

Yummy, healthy food!! Friendly staff! Cute atmosphere.

by surreal28

I've been coming here for the past 6 years, and the food is always delicious. It's a great place to read, write, or study - outdoor patio, very cute and comfortable indoor space with bigger tables upstairs. The food is fantastic! My favorites are the Novel Rancheros, Vegetarian Sandwich, and Tuna Melt Quesadilla, which comes with one of the best spicy guacamoles that I've ever had. The portions are generous too. Unless I'm super hungry, I usually have leftovers to go. This is one of my favorite places in Westwood, and the owner is super nice. They serve breakfast all day too.
