Alana’s Coffee Roasters, 634 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069
Alana’s first opened in Mar Vista (west side of LA). The WEHO location is their second. It’s a great space with locally roasted coffees, good pastries, and a camping-friendly environment (outlets, free wi-fi, restroom). Parking will be a challenge.
They roast their own beans and offer filter coffee (batch brew, cold brew, pour over), espresso drinks, matcha, hot chocolate, chai, etc. There were several pour over options, starting at $8.
There is no kitchen but they will warm up your pastries. They have gluten-free and vegan pastries too. The pastry case has croissants, muffins, coffee cake. The cold case has cold drinks, chia pudding, and overnight oats.
Vegan mushroom & cheese croissant ($5): Really good – not as flaky as a regular croissant but it still had a buttery flavor and lots of mushrooms. The cheese tasted like real cheese. I’m amazed that good vegan croissants exist. Also enjoyed the sprinkle of poppyseeds on top.
Cappuccino ($4.50): on the smaller side but nice foam art, right balance of foam to milk to espresso, great flavor
We enjoyed camping here though the tables are small. It’s such a cute place with multiple seating areas, cute bird wallpaper, plants, and a wood counter. There’s a nice outdoor patio too. They also sell coffee beans, mugs, and Alana’s apparel.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Kitchen Mouse, 4503 N Figueroa St., Los Angeles (Montecito Heights), CA 90065
Kitchen Mouse has expanded again, with a cute walk-up coffee & bakery spot in Montecito Heights (near Mount Washington and south Highland Park). There is a small kitchen, so you can also order off a limited menu: vegan breakfast sandwich, vegan waffles, bagel sandwiches, and fancy toasts. The pastry case had two shelves of gluten-free pastries (muffins, brownies, cookies, scones, cakes) and two shelves of pastries with gluten (vegan bagels, vegan croissants, danish). There’s also drip coffee, cold brew, espresso drinks, tea, and hot chocolate.
Order at the window and pay first. Prices are on the higher side but they do make their own pastries and their own schmears, and offer lots of gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and even nut-free options.
Buckwheat waffle, vegan, gluten-free ($9) with Earl Grey whip ($1.50): A thick, Belgian style waffle with vegan butter and real maple syrup. Excellent – I didn’t miss the gluten. The buckwheat waffle (made with buckwheat, oat, corn flour and flax, maple & coconut oil) has a nutty flavor and the waffle was moist with crisp edges. They provided plenty of vegan Earl Grey whip which did taste like Earl Grey and wasn’t too sweet. The waffle took about 15 minutes and they weren’t busy.
Cappuccino ($5): No foam art, strong and very bitter, wouldn’t get again
This is meant to be a takeout spot though there are three outdoor picnic tables (shared with Taco Fiesta?). They also sell some KM merch and coffee beans. They have their own coffee roast (Ethiopian). Parking was easy to find in the strip mall.
