Javista Hollywood

Let me start by saying I ordered a Sunrise bagel and an iced lavender latte, and here's what I learned: looks like aesthetics are the star of the show here, while flavor and portions are relegated to supporting roles. For $15, I was expecting a bagel fit for royalty--maybe two strips of bacon, a generous spread of cream cheese, and toppings that actually *top* things off. Instead, I got a bagel with what I can only describe as a bacon strip that got lost halfway through its journey. We're talking half a strip, crumbled into oblivion, scattered like confetti at a party that no one showed up to. The cream cheese? A delicate whisper, barely there, as if the bagel itself was too proud to accept a full spread. I was almost impressed by how they managed to create a cream cheese layer so thin, it could've been mistaken for an optical illusion. To round out this "experience," they added a slice of tomato and some arugula, generously coated in olive oil, however at this point there was no recovering from my dissatisfaction.And the iced lavender latte? First sip had me flashbacking to my childhood when my parents used lavender-scented bar soap to teach me a lesson about curse words. That floral assault on my taste buds had me questioning all my life choices, but eventually, the coffee kicked in and helped me forget the trauma. So, yeah... the coffee wasn't terrible once I recovered, but the rest? Not exactly a sunrise worth waking up for.

OK so I did go back sans dogs, to check out breakfast. I don't do bagels and do not know how anyone can eat them honestly, but they offer a breakfast burrito. Obviously had to get that. Burritos are just the best food ever I can't explain it. You know when you order it you shouldn't finish it because it's always like 2000 calories but you can't help it :') It's just a fun monstrosity to conquer, even if it isn't all that spectacular flavor-wise. Which this was not, but it was big and fun to eat.Like I said other all-day breakfast options include bagels, avocado toast (what simpleton made this a "thing"), other avocado items, a chia parfait (which I don't eat solely because they get stuck in your teeth), and some yucky protein bowl that sounds like my mom would make me eat "for health reasons" (consisting of hard-boiled eggs, hummus, and cucumbers). The salads look pretty basic for lunch as far as other menu options go but honestly the only other stuff I'd try is the sugar. Just saying what everyone's thinking. You can get sandwiches made as salads though which is nice. Might try that and be on my way to the next new cafe after I've conquered this very standard menu. The only non-meat/cheese/veg basic combo seems to be the one with French brie and fig jam though.Ambience same as last time with graffiti decor outside. Sadly my doggies didn't get to join me this time because the neighborhood stresses them out.

All the years and this place really can't live up to its history.I stopped by around 8am during a weekday and a few people were sitting or ordering here and there. Two workers at the cashier and barista station taking and making orders.Staff was friendly so no issues there. But all the seats and tables I checked were dirty - crumbs on seats, sticky or wet spots on tables. I didn't bother sitting.I ordered a breakfast burrito ($16) and iced vanilla latte ($7.50). Neither one was worth the price.The latte was meh. It wasn't too sweet which I like but the vanilla flavor was seriously lacking and there was nothing about it that makes me want to get coffee here again.The breakfast burrito was even more sad. It looked like a deflated hot pocket. The contents were hot but it was a mess. There was maybe 1/8 of an avocado on one end of the burrito. The bacon was soggy and chewy. The salsa was bland. The potatoes were just there, not adding anything but taking up space.I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a place like this but the price said otherwise.

Spacious cafe; there's even a stage in the middle for live performances/stand up. I love the keto sugar free caramel latte! Stoked they have soymilk; seems like most cafes in LA do not. My boyfriend tried the honey lavender latte but the lavender taste was overwhelming. We also tried the nutella mocha & it was more on the bitter side. We'll gladly keep returning for the keto latte. :)Street parking only.

I would come back to try more drinks! Food is a bit more on pricier side but it is in the heart of LA after all. Nice open concept vibe! I also asked one of the baristas if they host open mic there since there was a stage, but they said that it is not part of the coffee shop :( Hopefully one day because it would be sick looking venue with lots of space!*WAIT TIME- arrived a little before 2:30 pm on a Friday and there was no one else in line. Not sure how busy it gets in the morning but *AMBIANCE- lots of open space and light! Felt like a giant loft. Versatile vibes- fitting to do homework, work, catching up with a friend/s, or just relax enjoying a cup of coffee! *QUALITY- ordered their Iced Nutella Latte and would get it again! Excited to try other flavors though :) Didn't get to try any of their hot foods or salads, but will update if I end up doing so in the future. *CUSTOMER SERVICE- great! Both baristas were friendly and welcoming. *RESTROOM- not gender neutral. Separate gendered restrooms with multiple stalls. Pretty clean inside *OUTDOOR SEATING- yes, a few tables with chairs on the sidewalk*PARKING- can be tough to find depending on what time you go. Metered street parking available outside of 3-6 pm!

I've heard a bit about this place and finally got a chance to try it. I like that it's actually a kind of quiet place to work. They play good music but it's not loud which makes it good for working or catching up with a friend. They serve counter culture coffee so if you like that, you'll like this place. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I ended up getting a cheddar jalapeño bagel, a chocolate chip cookie and a drip coffee. The bagel was good. Definitely comes from a bakery so I was happy about that. I think I got the last batch of the drip coffee because it wasn't really hot but I saw someone order a drip after me and I could see his was steamy. Overall a great place to work. I found street parking a few blocks away otherwise it's just meters or 2 hour parking

Really enjoyed our time at this coffee place! It's so nice to have so many coffee shops so close to us now :)Service was great and we loved the recommendations they made on our food too. Both items we ordered were tasty, the salmon avo split was perfect since (Idk why) I was craving bagels. The sesame on the bagels added a nice flavor to it.There's a stage inside the coffee shop too so I'm assuming they have shows sometimes? AND they're dog friendly and y'all know how I feel about dog friendly places. Definitely will be back soon!

Enjoy the avocado split for breakfast. It's a large coffee shop with plenty of decent lighting and serves as a good working space close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame

BRING BACK THE OLD AVOCADO TOASTRating 5 stars bc this is just a weird specific thing but this was my absolute favorite place to get avocado toast and then they completely changed the recipe and it's so sad The old avocado toast with no feta and on ciabatta with the oil and arugula was SO GOOD please I beg bring it back the new version is nowhere near as good

amazing coffee, service is always great. orders always ready on time, and quality coffee.
