A warm, homey, and inviting environment you never expected to find in the midst of Hollywood! 10/10 recommend making a visit, staying a while, and chatting with the barista or owner if theyre in!

This morning, I went to this coffee shop to get my morning coffee before going to work. This coffee shop has the best Latte of any coffee shop in the world. They even serve cookies, muffins, and donuts, all of which were delicious! This place is a coffee lovers paradise. A highly recommended destination.

The first place I’m going to eat when I come back to LA. This place is amazing!The breakfast sandwich (I think it was the Florentine🧐) was literally one of THE BEST sandwiches I’ve ever had. Period. It was affordable esp. for LA and the latte was great!The owner even gave me a free coffee refill. I saw him help some others to refills as well.Free WiFi, outlets, and plenty of chairs available.

I felt like I lost my appetite this morning, so I came here. The coffee and foods were tasty and yummy. Besides, I was completely happy that I came to visit this place.

Purchased a latte and asked if it would be okay to enjoy said coffee as well as a sandwich (that was purchased elsewhere) on the premises. Was initially told this would be okay, if I sat at an outside table. Later, after sitting down, I was very rudely told by the owner that this was unacceptable. Strange way to interact with an actual paying customer that asked, not assumed, if this would be okay.The latte itself seemed watered down and rather bitter. With SightGlass and Tartine so close by, there is absolutely no reason to frequent this establishment.

I love the taste of their coffee, and it was a relaxing place. It was a nice place to study with your mates and talk to them. The access to the Internet was really cheap as well. The first time I popped in, I fell in love with this adorable café and its workers. A wide range of pastries and drinks, vegetarian options available, a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere! I recommend this coffee shop very much!

Nice coffee and incredible desserts. We enjoyed our weekend here because, with my old chums, we were able to meet new friends while having coffee. We ordered desserts as well, since one of our friends is not a lover of coffee. Its a very tasty dessert. What we enjoyed most here was the very sweet and welcoming owner who nicely entertained us. Wed certainly go back to this location again.

I went to this cafe last weekend with my family. They have a delightful garden in front of their place and it was so refreshing and fresh in here.

We are surely going to come back and recommend the coffee shop to others! We walked through this area, and we decided to recharge ourselves. It seems like a normal spot for coffee and munchies in a college town that is very laid back and relaxed. It turns out the coffee is fine, they roast it themselves, and theyve been doing it for 10 years.

When it comes to cozy vibes, this coffee store nailed it. Comfy sofas, beds, and plants are everywhere. The staves are good and the overall atmosphere is great. The workers were all very helpful and personable. Their coffee is fantastic and its one of a kind. To all coffee addicts, I highly recommend this place.

What I like about this coffee shop is that they really got my taste when it comes to coffee and pastries. It is not that sweet, and that is perfect. You deserve to be known by many! Expect me to recommend your service to all my colleagues and went here once again. Thank you!

This coffee shop has some of the best coffee that you could enjoy, for it has a great taste, no question about it. The place is fantastic, so youre not going to be too far from a freshly brewed coffee. Here, you may invite all your mates. They will, definitely, love it!

A wonderfully designed coffee shop where you can feel how much love and expertise has gone into every single cup. They aim to create unique coffee experiences by providing distinct flavors and aromas, as well as placing a big focus on transparency on the journey of their beans. I so loved this place so much! I will be recommending this place to all people who are coffee lovers.

It was the first cafe I visited, and with that decision, Im very pleased. The barista was so kind and sexy. The room is comfortable and cute.

Lots of tables, internet, good coffee. Try it! The court yard is heated. Lots of electric plugs. Competent staff. Quiet. This place is a jewel! Beautiful space, good seating, good drink selection, great parking, nice staff. It feels like a real community center, which is hard to find.

Best cafe in all of Los Angeles. Would give it a 10 star if I could. This spot is my go-to.Very woody-East coast feel with a western surf spin.Always playing great music that matches the vibes of the people who fill it (so its different every day). Lots of people come to work. The staff are EXCEPTIONAL and so friendly in the most genuine way. They will come around and give you refills of house coffee too.Great desserts, sandwiches, and drinks. The people here are super genuine and down to earth too.Cant say enough good things! Rad spot.

Amazing coffee shop! I wish every coffee shop was like this. I stumbled upon this place while walking on Melrose.

Awesome place and cant wait to come back here!

You never know who is going to walk in or out of this Hollywood hole in the wall coffee shop. Nothing makes you feel more like a Los angeleno then sitting here behind a Lola salad wearing your favorite warm weather outfit and watching the people go by.They serve breakfast and lunch... Coffee all day. They have for electrical plugs for the outside patio on case charge while youre hanging out and getting things done

Review №48

Coffee is good. I was in a rush today and just grabbed their dripped coffee. It was an Ethiopian blend and it was pleasantly aromatic and magically caffeinated without any bitterness. Coffee is meant to be drunk hot, and piping from the barista, with a dollop of half and half and its heaven. Perfectly balanced, smooth, nutty. It tasted less like a drink and more a prayer to the morning. Yes its thats good

The best coffee shop Ive been to in LA for many reasons:-free refills-amazing customer service, you can tell the employees are like family-homey/comfortable environment-many returning regulars, so you know its good!-lots of tables to sit at-gluten free and vegan options (especially the milk selection)!

Review №51

Love this place. Great iced mint tea. Good environ for internet use. Respectfully quiet like a traditional library. But, me thinks it really resembles a gentlemens club. Ladies so many handsome men frequent this cafe. I sense all they want is a similar enclave established for their work in their own home that permeates the smell of fresh coffee and baked goods that is established by their own lovely partner to create and sustain such a welcoming, inspiring and nurturing ambience. Just a thought...

A very cozy and relaxing place to sit and work. They keep bringing you coffee refills and the ambience is really chill. Even the staff are really friendly. Not much of a food selection as such, but hey, its not a gourmet restaurant. I even loved their carrot 🍰. Id like to go their regularly to get a lot of my work done.

Amazing coffee and great place to spend an afternoon! The only downside is there is limited seating inside. All the spots were taken when I stopped by. The store is clean with beautiful modern decoration. The lighting is bright and theres plenty of sunlight. They also sell their own bags of coffee which would make for a nice gift.

Review №59

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Stir Crazy on our interview date.Stir Crazy Coffee House got lucky with its location on Melrose Avenue. Not only is it close to all of the various shops in the area, but its intersection is relatively quiet and calm, something that tends to lack in the Hollywood adjacent area. We had visited on a Sunday afternoon, and I was surprised (and grateful) with how relaxing our stay was during that time of the day. It was no surprise that you had clients that had set up shop inside to work on their laptops, read, or even just people watch while sitting in the outdoor patio area. It’s very much the type of coffeeshop that you would have no problem with spending a longer amount of time there with its quirky décor and interior style, welcoming atmosphere, and of course, it’s wonderful options for food and drink. Whether you’re on the go or ready to chill for a few hours, your taste buds will be tempted by giant pastries, a mouth-watering variety of sandwiches (including all-day breakfast), burgers, and salads. Complete your meal with a classic espresso drink, tea, latte, or something a little stronger with their Red Eye (one espresso shot) and Black Eye (double espresso shot) drip coffee/espresso hybrids for the perfect amount of pick me up for any time of day.

Review №62

The ratings brought me to this location. Its perfect for when I want to get things done during the day! A Hispanic man attended me and he delivered excellent customer service! I got a hot chocolate and a brownie and they were both good! This cafe is not noisy which is awesome and during the day, it has good lighting! There are also outdoor tables which is also a plus especially for those beautiful summer days in LA! There is metered parking around which isnt too expensive! The only downside to this cafe I would say is the lighting at night, they dont have enough light so I feel like its fun but other than that, I really like this cafe and it is not overpriced like most places in LA and in the Hollywood area! I recommend this place, if you want to be productive!

Review №63

One of the best cafes that I have ever visited. The owner of the establishment, whose name I never got, is one of the nicest owners Ive ever met. Not only is he really congenial, but hes also a clean and hardworking employer who always treats his workers well. Not to mention, the menu items are also really cheap compared to most other places throughout LA!You can see this positive attitude throughout the cafe. Its always clean and well kept, and the workers are always relaxed and cheerful. Its a great place to sit down and study for extended periods of time, though the only parking available are parking meters. The parking meters only last for 2 hours, so youll need to refill them constantly. Overall, Stir Crazys always a great experience whenever I visit. I highly recommend the Nikki Special!

I recently discovered Stir Crazy while I was looking for a place where I could have a good cup of coffee, find a free table and use the wifi. The bottom less coffee cup and their espresso beverages are very good, they have good sandwiches and pastries. Nothing fancy but just very good! If youre looking for a place to work on your computer, read, or just have a good cup of coffee this is it, there is always a place to seat and connect your computer! I have always been taken care of by FERNANDO, he is just awesome! My new favorite coffee place!

Stir Crazy Coffee Shop is a nice place to have breakfast and has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel @ home. I had Florentine sandwich on sesame seed bun as for my breakfast meal and an Iced White Mocha with soy milk to go with my sandwich. I had a very good and delicious breakfast @ Stir Crazy Coffee Shop. That makes me decide and have my loyalty here and I will be back again.

My girlfriend, and I came to Stir Crazy about one hour before closing, and unfortunately the owner was closing up early due to no customers. However, being the nice man he is, he offered us free drinks on the house. He even let us take a seat at one of the empty tables while he cleaned! I highly recommend the Nikkis Special, its an affogato styled item with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, espresso, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. Definitely coming back again.

I’m in the area for work and was looking for a close by cafe found Stir Crazy 😊 ... I was in my zone working and loss track of time. I over stayed for at least 30mins and when I looked up all peeps were gone and things are cleaned! I felt so bad & apologized for not meaning to over stay ... What I appreciated is that no one kicked me out 🙌 they went along their closing procedure without interrupting me. ALSO!!! I walked over and hesitated BUT Erica read my mind and asked me nicely, “did u want more hot water?” ... thank you for being understanding and for your service!

This is a great little coffee shop. Good atmosphere, good music playing; I only had a pastry, but I will try more food next time. Free wifi (with a hilarious password), bottomless coffee- and the lady behind the counter even came around to my table to refill it! I was in on a Sunday afternoon and it was not overly crowded. Just a really cool, comfortable place.

This place looks like a cozy place to study, and the many people furiously typing away on their laptops certainly seemed to agree, but I was on vacation when I visited, so I fortunately did not have any work to do.I came here solely for a post-lunch coffee fix on a Saturday afternoon. The coffee is very well-priced here, but the drink assembly can definitely use some work.My cappuccino consisted of espresso with some foam unceremoniously dumped on top.The espresso beneath the foam tasted fine and certainly supplied some much needed caffeine, but it lacked the silky, luxurious mouthfeel of a carefully crafted cappuccino.

Best coffee house Ive found in years. Prices are considerably lower than anywhere else, and the coffee tastes great. Plus, your cup is rarely cold or empty, as the very friendly owner makes rounds to top you off. Free WiFi, a unique decor, and what I guess is local, vintage art add to the homey feeling. Three days in a row here for me, with more to come.
