Dumb Gimmick

by misotall at Citysearch

the coffee is different each time you go. its WAY WAY WAY over priced, and its a gimmick. Im sure there are No antioxidants even in the coffee, just another ploy to try and get you in the door.

• Pros: The Location
• Cons: inconsistency in coffee, Over Priced, badly managed,

What a Find!

by JavaMama at Citysearch

My fiance' & I are visiting LA from Texas and we are coffee lovers through and through. The first day we found a hoity toity place that had too much fluff to their coffees. (won't mention any names)

We stumbled across this neighborhood coffee shop and immediately fell in love. Today is the second day we are back here to enjoy a strong & delicious cup of coffee and one of the tastiest helpings of oatmeal with flaxseed granola EVER!

I highly recommend stopping by the WeHo beanerie if you're in the area.

• Pros: Healthy, Tasty, Simple, and Great Service!
• Cons: Hmmmmmm, can't think of any.

Coffee that's actually healthy! Gotta try it to believe it! I DID!

I am a coffee lover and a medical doctor so you can imagine my delight when I found out about The Healthy Bean thru a friend whose a coffee lover herself. Healthy Coffee? - That sounds too good to be true! Trying hard not to be a skeptic, I knew I just had to try it. The store is trendy and very clean but the first floor was somewhat cramped. The second floor was cozy & private (great for meeting a friend or to simply hang out). The baristas were very friendly and the coffee - well, that's a different story... wondering what all the hype is about, I was pleasantly surprised to find the taste so smooth. Usually, there is an "aftertaste" when you add "stuff" like antioxidants & protein into organic foods but this coffee was to me, definitely notches above Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Seattle's Best. It is NOT only good-tasting coffee, but HEALTHY! Just what the doctor will be ordering! I can't wait for more stores to open in my area. I discovered their website (type in "thehealthybean" ) & will be buying coffee for home brew online for now. More power to this store!!!
