Citysearch Editorial Review. There's no other spot quite like this in Los Angeles: A Judaica bookstore and artsy boutique that brews gourmet organic kosher coffee for a crowd that spans from Hasidics to trannies until 2am. Rabbi Michael Abitol brings his vision of harmonious community to the airy cafe store filled with jazz and conversation. His Moroccan-French background informs a menu of organic housemade crepes, salads, hummus, grape leaves, salmon sandwiches, muffins, gelato, cheesecake and kugel. The busy espresso machine brews up a kicking kosher organic house blend for creamy cappuccinos and lattes, which patrons--young and old, gay and straight, Jewish or not--enjoy while lounging by the sunny front window, sometimes to the tunes of live piano (which guests are encouraged to play.) This is L.A.'s melting pot as good as it gets.

Best Nutella Crepes!. I love this place. The owner is such a nice guy, it's like visiting someone's house. They have delicious healthy food and I can finally go somewhere late at night to find kosher food. Their nutella crepes are so great and while having that and my coffee I always find great books for me and gifts for my daughter.

Yummy French pastries and crepes!. I recently checked out this new place in West Hollywood--THE SCRIBE CAFE--it's a really cool bookstore and gift shop with an organic cafe as well. The merchandise I saw was really beautiful--alot of nice imported artwork and gifts as well. The cafe serves organic salads, sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and my favorite, French crepes (try the Nutella--awesome!). The ambience is really cool--the owner is a very friendly French guy. Also a bonus is FREE Wi-Fi for customers. Overall, very highly recommended. A great place to have some coffee, crepes, and, of course, people watch in West Hollywood.
