"The coffee is excellent, smoothies and juices are prepared fresh every time, desserts look good too. It's a 5 star stop for drinks, service lacked friendliness when we were there though and it was rather cold inside for a December day."

"Romancing the Bean is more than a coffee shop, it’s a hug. Nestled among vintage boutiques, whimsical gift shops, and crystal havens, this cozy cafe is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel at home. The space is charming and thoughtfully curated, with antique mirrors, chandeliers, and warm black-and-white decor. The quote on the wall: “Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” For me it would say Eating is like love only because I don’t cook. 😂 The menu is packed with fresh, delicious options from hearty salads, paninis to vegan muffins and cakes. Their coffee? Always strong, always smooth, always exactly what you need. And the kindest people working behind the counter."

"We love romancing the bean! Great coffee and staff. We bring our toddler here most weekends and the staff love her. The atmosphere is very calm and “romantic,” feels like a French cafe. Highly recommend, especially for families!"

"This is such a cute place to get some work done or read a book! I was only visiting LA for a short time but my friend recommended to try this cafe. I’m glad I did, the girl who took my order was very nice and friendly. My drink was finished so quickly and was tasty! :)"

"My favorite coffee shop in LA! I’ve been coming here regularly for around a year now, and it’s the best place to come place to come if I need to focus and get work done. All of the staff is so friendly, the drinks are delicious, and their food is really good too! This is the coffee shop I always take people if they want to try somewhere new!"
