There is nothing like getting up in the morning and having that first cup of coffee. The only thing that could compare is taking a trip to your favorite coffee shop and indulging in your second, third, or even fourth cup of the day. Living in LA means that there is a multitude of eccentric cafes serving up our favorite java. It’s not just Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf anymore.

There is something whimsical about this charming cafe. You’ll feel like you just stepped into an English garden or maybe followed Alice down the rabbit hole. The decor features everything from garden chairs to thrones and even a fireplace. The outside seating area even has its own pantry where you can grab complimentary water and Togo boxes, along with condiments. The menu features a variety of coffee and tea options as well as full on breakfast and lunch delicacies. Our favorites are the pastries! We highly recommend their bread pudding or their M&M bar.

This chic cafe offers teas on tap! How much cooler can you get? Located in Old Pasadena, this spot features an amazing brunch and even live music on weekends. This doesn’t even feel like a coffee shop, but more of a hip lounge. The darkwood and open space makes this feel like an upscale coffee joint. It is a great place to stop by for brunch or come write your class paper. Plus, it is one of the few places where you can still grab a $2 cup of quality coffee. What’s better than that?
