If the hulking signage of "The Sunset" complex doesn't catch your eye, then the umbrella-lined outdoor patio jammed with muscle-bound dudes (no doubt from Equinox next door), shade-wearing industry types and cell phone-toting waifs certainly will. Inside, the scene--aside from the walk-up counter--is much calmer, with chocolate-colored leather couches, bistro tables and a horseshoe-shaped bar. The diverse menu, located on the wide chalkboard above the ordering counter, covers all three meals, with options ranging from omelets and crepes to salads, paninis, sandwiches and pizza.

Bad bad bad service...bad.

by jkla at Citysearch

Just try to call Primo to place a to-go order...they don't answer their phone. Everything takes WAY too long to prepare and isn't really worth the wait. I'm hating on Primo - it's still ringing and I've had time to sign up for City Search to leave this review and they still haven't answered.

  • Pros: OK coffee
  • Cons: TERRIBLE SERVICE

/if you're starving and got money to burn...

by C Tha Wizzard at Citysearch

So maybe you do accept and therefore expect to overpay for everything on Sunset Strip, but for as much as that should be true, it's no excuse for the flavor-free pre-turd fodder disguised as fancy food at Caffe Primo.

Oh sure, the menu items sound nice enough but don't be fooled -- it's a crime for any restaurant to charge these prices and be yet bested by Subway for half the loot.

Save your money, time and taste buds -- Caffe Primo is good to pass.

  • Pros: Some organic stuff
  • Cons: Taste-free, Over-priced, Weak Service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent coffee... but overpriced everything. SNOBBY SERVICE. Very SCENEY crowd..... people who want to see & be seen... They'll milk their one cup of coffee for hours at a table.. & hide behind their Macs.. just to get a view of a local celeb... So Wannabe!!

Good food... good desserts.. great coffee.. but so overpriced & they never thank for gratuity.

  • Pros: tastey
  • Cons: overpriced, snobby! service.
