"Cafecito Organico, East Hollywood. I live next door, literally. When I was looking for an apartment in the area, this coffee shop let me know I found the right apartment. The coffee is always great and the people are far less pretentious than what your typical LA coffee shop holds. They won't serve you if you are on your phone. The back area is an somewhat of an oasis; plants everywhere, reclaimed wooden walls and furniture, "fire places" when it's cold. Come here to zone out or to get some work done."
