In Short
Sitting in the shadow of the towering Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre, this dark caffeine dungeon is where bloodshot-eyed, shaggy-haired screenwriters and their ilk commune with their laptops among cushy couches and rigid schoolroom chairs. Revolving artwork from local artists hangs on the main room's walls while the back room evokes a Moroccan den replete with silk floor pillows and carved-wood side tables. In addition to espresso and tea, the cafe's menu includes a handful of pastries and sandwiches.

Definately agree that the attitude of the people who work there isn't always the friendliest, but who cares. The coffee and atmosphere there by far makes up for the two minutes you have to deal with the person behind the counter. I suggest you grab some coffee, one of their yummy desserts, and kick back in one of their many dark corners and people watch. Its Hollywood after all!!!!!!

Its a very eclectic place, and you have to be into that scene. They have pretty good coffee and tea, though it might be a bit overpriced. The cafe is kept very dark with an adjoining room where people can sit on pillows.

I don't know about the coffee or service or swill at The Pig. But when you slink drunkenly in (at what I now see must have been after 8AM on a Saturday morning) to hide from the sun and surreptitiously keep the party going in the wonderfully dark and bedecked back room... ...they should really warn you about the folks gathering there for an NA meeting. Oops.

Good luck. With no valet and virtually no available nearby spots, visitors can take their chances at the security-monitored Ralphs lot across the street.
The Extras:
The adjacent magazine stand has a vast selection of imported magazines while the attached boutique offers gifts such as candles, soaps, jewelry, stationary and other funky knick-knacks.
