Café Telegrama

Coffee shop and breakfast/lunch spot where the aesthetic matches the quality of their goods. Go for a quick cup of coffee or stay a little longer for a full meal. Plenty of seating both indoor and out with relaxed vibes and great service. We went towards closing where it was a little calmer, but this new spot is already gaining in popularity so be prepared for limited elbow space if you go during peak hours. Street parking was very available at 3 on a Saturday, free side street parking was a little harder to come by though. Great coffee with straightforward options of mocha, latte, cappuccino etc with vanilla, simple syrup, sugar free vanilla or honey for flavorings. I got a cappuccino which was perfectly poured and could rival a cup from Maru or bluebottle. The pastries were very good as well. We got the berry & cream puff which was nicely flaky, and not too sweet. Their cookies are made in house and their pastries are from friends and family up the street. I’ve heard good things from the food from the other patrons and would love to go for brunch one day. Definitely high on our list as a great neighborhood spot and we definitely will be back. If you’re in the area and want to go on a tasty aesthetically pleasing adventure, I’d highly recommend a visit.

Got the breakfast plate with bacon and a matcha. The bread was sooo fluffy and soft but also super toasty! Idk what they did to it but I want all of my bread to come out this way from here on out. I put the soft scrambled eggs on top of the bread and it was amazing. Definitely dont eat this if youre lactose intolerant though lol my matcha with oakmilk was pretty decent but nothing as spectacular as the bread. I was going to do some work but they dont have any wifi. There’s pricey valet parking or plenty of street/metered parking.

Making it a point to share my coffee shop experiences. I stumbled across this Café Telegrama after parking and walk to Organico for lunch. Needless to say the infectious vibes and coffee shop aroma lured me in!! I’m excited to say this place is a HIT!! I went with my usual go to order of an oat milk cappuccino in a sexy for here ceramic cup. The coffee tastes amazing, as the espresso was not over extracted. The oat milk was steamed to perfection. (Not as easy as amateurs would think) In gratitude to the team for helping me out as they are a cashless coffee shop. Will most definitely be back.

Bussin' spot for coffee and brunch. The line is long, and there is not much room to sit. It's better to come with 1 or 2 other people. I wouldn't recommend this for big groups unless you come early or stake out some tables and chairs ahead of time. Coffee is good. I can't say anything about the food. The barista Tim (or Tom??) was so so friendly. Parking is street parking otherwise valet.

Very popular café at the moment. We arrived at 8 am and by 840 am most of the tables were taken and there was a line. I ordered the pancakes. You get two for about $16 and they are drenched in maple syrup. Their edges are nicely crispy. Very tasty and very unique. They have blueberry compote on them and include ricotta. They are perhaps a bit too sweet because of the amount of maple syrup. Still great pancakes. Their breakfast burrito is pretty good but not too big. Last but not least the iced oat milk latte I had was excellent! This place has some flaws but it’s worth it. Meter parking and valet parking available. Early on you can park free in their lot.

I want to preface this all by saying, I have no issues with a place like this existing. It’s a beautifully designed cafe. It’s just something you’d see more of in SOHO or maybe the Arts District. (Valet parking?! For a cafe? Tell me that doesn’t smell of entitlement) Placing it in this neighborhood just kinda reeks of gentrification. Taking advantage of the areas cheap lots from businesses that had to close up after the pandemic. It doesn’t really serve the demographic or community living here. And clearly doesn’t employ them either. The longstanding locals won’t be coming in here for what amounts to so so coffee (more on that in a bit). And looking around you can tell immediately that there was very little diversity in the clientele. This will only help drive out other existing businesses and bring in more of those cookie cutter condos/apts. Pushing out everyone else. There’s already a new development happening around the corner. But since mostly hipsters and ex New Yorkers will love this place, I didn’t find it to be on par with the location itself. The matcha was nothing special, and the cappuccino I had tasted like diner coffee. Not sure the temperature was correct when pulling the shot or too fine a grind. There’s a limited pastry menu but a much larger food menu that I didn’t bother to try as I was only interested in the coffee. The space is pretty tight inside with small round tables. There seems to be more space outside but barely any seating out there which was odd. Maybe because of the weather. Overall as a local POC, it’s not a spot I will want to frequent or even return to. There’s always Balcony Coffee just a few minutes down the street with a nice greenhouse sitting area to chill in.

A really fancy coffee place that has its own vibe, great food and not perfect but fine coffee. Enjoyed it, had a slight feeling that I came back to Moscow for my breakfast.

Best pancakes in LA, and the blueberry topping is delicious. Also really like the kale salad with a scoop of the tuna fish salad. Great patio, although the inside is also light filled and relaxing

This cafe looked very pretty and aesthetic from the outside and inside, so I definitely wanted to check it out! The interior had a great vibe, a good place to chill and catch up with some friends. While there was WiFi, I didn't see any outlets, so I'm not sure if this is the best place to get some work done if it doesn't require you charging. As for the food and drink, I got the hot matcha latte which was good. I think it just needs to be sweeter so I asked for some sweetener which the barista happily gave some simple syrup to me for free. I also got the berries and cream puff pastry which was just was okay. I wish the pastry was fresher and more crisp. I like that the prices for the food and drink are relatively cheap here which is good. As for parking, there's only street parking here which is limited, so good luck!

1) Decent latte 2) Grossly Overpriced Breakfast Burrito 3) No Wifi 4) No Outlets. The playlist was great and the ambiance was lovely but I wont be returning as I need a bit more out of coffee shop as a remote worker. Tip: There is no need to be stingy with the wifi and outlets. I know most coffee shops dont love people hanging around all day.. however I typically spend money throughout the day especially if the food is good as a courtesy for letting me hang around and enjoy the amenities.

This coffee shop exceeded my expectations. Most LA coffee shops are just cute and have good aesthetic, but this one had good drinks too. I got the matcha lemonade and my friend got the matcha latte. I've never have match lemonade before but I usually get matcha tonic so I thought it would be similar. I give it a 8/10, it was nice and refreshing. The matcha latte was an 8.5/10 you can actually taste the matcha but it wasn't as strong as i personally like my matcha. There was a pretty outdoor area and indoor had a lot of seating too. There were a lot of people in the afternoon when I went. The barista was very friendly and service was quick as well.

Cute place. Bit of a Melrose Hill hipster scene. Breakfast was good; tasty eggs, yummy bacon, nice salad. World's most uncomfortable chairs.

the tuna sandwich is so worth the hype! the iced vanilla latte is solid, i asked for more vanilla syrup and it tasted much better. there's metered parking and plenty of seating both outside and inside. i'd love to come back and try more of their food

Kept seeing this place pop up on my instagram feed so I've been wanting to visit! Spent $60 for a mediocre breakfast - matcha latte, pancakes, tuna sandwich, pastry, bottled drink. It's worth a try if you're in the area for cute pics but be prepared to pay for valet parking or if you're ok walking, there was plenty of metered parking when I stopped by on a Saturday morning. Probably not returning, nothing was special, the service was extremely slow and the food wasn't that great either.

Parking is a pain, they do have a small parking lot, but not sure if have to pay because we got their before someone was working. The cafe itself is modern and quaint. It got super busy around 10am and made hanging around awkward as people wanted to sit in inside and every table was taken. We ordered and first off had no idea the rest of the menu was not available till after 11am. They also ran out of the all-day breakfast, so opted to get the breakfast burrito which I was skeptical about cause I have been hearing negative reviews about it. We started with their berries and cream pastry which was shockingly flakey as I could tell it had been sitting out, would have nice to warm it up. The all-day breakfast was perfect as the eggs were fluffy, toast had a lot of butter, and the salad kept it bright and acidic. THE STAR is of course the pancake. The crisp burnt edges is what makes the pancake so iconic, just wish they didn't pour so much syrup on it. The breakfast burrito was actually perfect, the eggs were soft and flavorful. The salsa on the side was like an extra acidic blanket over the already soft burrito. Just wish it was bigger, but I don't get the hate on the burrito. Overall, I recommend coming early to get a parking spot and especially a spot indoors. Definitely get the pancake and give the burrito a try. I will be coming back to try their lunch menu though.

Vibe and ambience - 5/5 *plenty of room even with a baby and a stroller *Staff is super friendly Food - 3/5 *smallest breakfast burrito I've had *add $2 for bacon bits... *eggs for the save

Cafe Telegrama looks beautiful, serves great eats and drinks, but lacks heart and soul. Immediate turn off was the valet parking - I've never been to a cafe in LA with a paid lot. Super weird choice to me, but I found regular parking across the street and metered parking around the corner. I loved my matcha latte and the berries and cream pastry. Both were excellent and the latte art was gorgeous. Second time around I got regular green tea which was also yummy. I was a bit disappointed because everyone else drinking tea had these lovely glass teapots, while I had a massively full cup of tea. I asked a server if I had made a mistake while ordering, and he said that no, they just ran out of tea pots. The ambience is nice, and I love the green tiles. They have a courtyard, although it's been full both times I've visited. To be clear I would (and probably will) return, but the place feels super gentrified. I haven't even been in LA that long and it gave me an eyebrow raise. Other reviewers have already spoken to it more than I have, but subtle choices like valet parking probably don't help.

What in the Wes Anderson?????? One of my new favorites. Love the aesthetic of this place and one of my new go to cafes. Food: Burrito - let's start with the bad. I wasn't feeling this one a little dry, the ingredients were strangers to each other and the egg whites were strong! When I get a breakfast burrito, I want that harmony of egg, potato, meat and cheese that make you not what to put it down. Best part of this was the salsa! Wow! I love that salsa. All day Breakfast - love this! eggs are great, toast is toasting and the side salad is a great addition. Pancakes - must get!!!!! I love these. The crispy edges are the perfect touch. Coffee - my go to is iced oat latte. So fa, it's been smooth and lovely. Staff is great, super friendly and welcoming. DOWNSIDES: - no wifi - parking is okay not great (meters on the side streets) - high traffic area With that, it's still way worth the visit.

Iced matcha latte with oat milk was ok, but not the worst! Could taste the milk more than the matcha.. I think they use Ghost town oat milk. Paid around $9 including tip. $5 valet parking with validation, but was able to find street parking nearby.

4.5/5 I really like this patio and the brightness overall in the cafe, the staff is attentive and kind. The coffee is good and If I lived close, this would be my cafe. The prices of the food are a bit higher than I am willing to pay, but it is good food. Taste: I've been here a couple times and gotten the mortadella sandwich, an egg breakfast, a Danish and a muffin. All have been very nice. The mortadella sandwich was good, but I wish it was on a little bit softer bread. Because the crust is so thick, the force you have to bite with squeezes the filling out of the end before you can pierce the crust. Experience: excellent service, beautiful lighting, small crowd but no major lines. The patio is very pleasant on a nice day. Edit: might be important to note there are side streets nearby with free parking. I just read some other reviews complaining about valet and I don't think valet is necessary here. Mood Before/After: pretty happy before and after Fullness: there are sandwiches close by that give more for the same price or less, with a similar level of quality. I would not get the sandwich again for the reason of its price to value. What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: I had to work right after this meal so I don't think I got to fully relax unfortunately.

Valet is $5 but i parked at a meter for $1/hr. The cafe itself was super busy, the line went to the sidewalk! The food is good but pricey. The service there is good, one of the workers answered all my questions and was patient& the cashier was also patient there was a payment issue and she didnt make us feel like we were being rushed. Theres indoor&outdoor seating and the way they designed it makes it a nice picturesque feel

Very aesthetic and for the vibes cafe. Valet parking is $5 and it gets packed so you just have to wait & quickly grab the seat when someone is leaving. Service is sweet and efficient. You order first and they bring the food to you and you get the water and utensils yourself. The breakfast burrito was nothing crazy but the sauce was yummy. The all day is egg, bacon or avocado, salad, and toast. The best part was the salad. The bacon felt like I was eating very salty chips, so I wouldn't get that again. The portions are pretty small so I wouldn't go when I'm starving. Glad I got to try it once.

Café Telegrama is a super cute new coffee shop in LA! I really enjoyed my time here. It was a cute place to study, but there is limited seating and no outlets that I saw. I also want to say they don't have free WiFi. However, this cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and the food I got was delicious. It is on the pricier end for a coffee shop, but it's kind of what you expect in LA. They also have parking which is nice but I think it was 5 dollars! Overall, really cute coffee shop but not top of my list

Now this was a way to finish the year strong! Check everything off the list- vibe (aka decor & music), top tier matcha, top tier pastries, spacious patio, heat lamps, friendly employees. I mean. Check, check, check.

I like this cafe . Very posh . I loved the good customer service, the cashier was very nice! The coffee smelled amazing . They stopped serving food at 2 pm, so get there before that to enjoy some of their sandwiches. The vibe was pretty dope it felt like I was in Greece ! Very clean looking atmosphere. I'll be back to eat !

Ordered: Iced Latte with oat milk Price (w/o tip): $7.12 Latte tasted pretty good! Id give the taste a 3.75/5 It is pricey for a coffee but the place is spacious, clean, and calm. I'd give the vibes a 5/5, great place for a meetup or for studying.

Giving 3.5 stars. Came here to try the breakfast burritos which I've heard good things about. They are light but at the same time will fill you up. You can add bacon or avocado for extra. There is parking on the street and valet as well. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Giving 3.5 stars because while I had no issues with my breakfast burrito and found it quite tasty, my friend did find a hair in her burrito which is less than appetizing.

Rip off... A simple over buttered salty tuna sandwich with no sides was 17 dollars... either this in inflation at its worse or hipster culture at its worse. No tuna sandwich should ever be this expensive! The service was nice, ambience is simple and modern but definitely need to figure out their pricing strategy.

I want to love hipster coffee shops, but I just can't. The coffee was good though, but limited milk selections. Plastic 12oz cup filled to the top with ice. You're probably getting 6oz or less or actual coffee. For an adult, I can suck that down in 4 straw sips. Cool concrete seating and chairs outside. Basic is now the new cool. Idk. I'll stick to my at home drip coffee all day. If you like taking pictures of your coffee vs drinking it, I guess you can give it 5 stars.

Went here for coffee with a friend in the morning. I ordered an iced latte and it tasted standard, nothing to write home about. Their drink menu is straightforward and concise. They did have a few food options that I'd be interested in trying. The cafe has a simple interior and the staff are friendly. They have seating both indoor and outdoor, as well as plenty of metered street parking spots in the area.

Wonderful atmosphere can't wait to visit again perfect for a date ! The service was fast and plenty of seating is available.

This place never disappoints. The tuna sandwich is one of the best tuna sandwiches you'll ever eat. The pancakes are a staple and a guilty pleasure. The place gets super busy but the staff is always patient and accommodating. Sitting outside with a cool breeze can make you feel like you're sitting in a piazza in Europe. 10/10 recommend this place!

Bringing the Silverlake vibe to Melrose Hill. Hipster. I love it. Everyone's so sweet & nice. I wish they had soy milk! BUT, I love the oat milk latte w either vanilla or simple syrup. Or both. Only tried the breakfast burrito and pancakes from the menu but they're good and they're not too heavy, and feel clean and wholesome. Pastries are pretty bomb too. Simple yet calm/cute inside. A nice patio outside. Becoming a regular!

Coffee and service were great, but valet sucks ($5 with validation once you order), and street parking is pretty hard to find during busy hours. It's pretty spacious inside, but the tables get filled up real quick. Thankfully, they have plenty of outdoor seating!

While walking by with friends, we were drawn to this café due to its bustling crowd. I decided to go for the most basic option, the latte, but was left quite disappointed. It tasted both burnt and acidic simultaneously, which was unexpected as typically one flavor or the other should dominate. Despite the disappointing drink, the ambiance and staff were nice.

Cafe Telegrama is beautiful inside and out lol the space inside is so serene and calming. Their matcha was delicious too. I found parking on the side streets but there were meters up front.

Almost didn't try this place after seeing some of the reviews -- but so glad I did! The space is beautiful, there's a dog friendly patio, the iced coffee & matcha latte were both delicious, and the food was excellent. It's pricey, but (unfortunately) for LA this is the norm. At least for the price, the portion sizes were huge! (If you go to a comparable place in the neighborhood like Bricks & Scones, they have the same prices except the food is not nearly as good and the portions are half the size.) They offer Curbstand valet parking for $5, but I easily found street parking around the corner. Will definitely go back again!

Matcha is $6.50. When i got my receipt it was almost $9.00. Turns out they added two extra up charges WITHOUT NOTATING it or MENTIONING IT: 1. Oat milk alternative 2. Ice They CHARGED ME FOR ICE and didn't even mention it beforehand. LASTLY, they don't have single charging port in the cafe for Patrons. If you want overpriced/overvalued everything with average ingredients, average music, and an effeminate atmosphere, this is the place for you. I'm never coming here ever again.

was craving some pamcakes so tried this place. pretty cool looking place. its a coffee cafe slash brunch place. exteriro and interiror had that yuppie artsy feel. with its white and birch color walls and furniture. and you could tell by the customers. all look 25-35 yr old white colllar balenciaga louis vuitton wearing hipster fashinistas. menu is pretty good. besides the standard coffee and teas and pastries they had cooked to order sandwichs, breakfast burritos (which i need to come try next time) and s blueberry pancake. so decided on the pancake and a iced matcha latte. total damage $24 bucks. waited 15 mins and got the food. and i have to say so far the best pancake ive ever eaten. hot crrispy salty sweet pillowy goodness. dont let the dark color fool you its not burnt but im guessing they use brown butter so leaves a caramalzied dark crisp. and man its tasty. had ricotta in the batter so the pancake was so moist but still had some texture. and the brown butter they used gave it a right amount of saltyness. also comes with a side of blueberry sauce (which looks and taste housemade with plump berries floating in its sweet sour juice) and warm maple syrup. all toghether great combo. if i could add anything it would have been great if they also had option for some whip cream or sweet mascorpe cream of somekind. and the matcha tea latte was also good. they use some premade matcha tea and then add whatever milk type want and then give you various types of sweeteners. overall, this place is pretty good. food, vibes, decor, and even the employees were nice. $24 is little pricey imo but the quality of the ingrediants, taste, and portion makes it worth it. check this place out. im for sure coning back cause need to check out some of the other foods especially the burrito and what looks like some kind of ham sandwich that looked huge.

To expensive, otherwise pretty ok place! Vibes are cool and the service is really good! There are really nice bathrooms too.

I was intrigued to try this cafe as my family and I have lived in the area for over two decades. Coffee and was okay, nothing special. Mom ordered drip and I ordered a latte. We both got The All Day breakfast and the ricotta blueberry pancakes. I will not be coming back simply because I could tell there's no pride in their work. It took 30 minutes for our food to arrive and when it did, I was disappointed to see that the pancakes arrived CHARRED. Mind you the pancakes themselves are $16. How did these pancakes get past the kitchen? Unfortunately we were only able to eat the top pancake. The All Day breakfast was good, but it wasn't anything noteworthy. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Beautiful building and patio. The ambiance was great. The service was nothing out of the norm so no complaints there. No cold brew? It's a must in LA. Please add it to the menu. Ice coffee is not the same respectfully so. Matcha was alright. Would I come back? No. There are way better coffee shops in ktown.

Cute cafe!! Love the interior design on this place. I really liked the blueberry muffin, not too sweet for my taste

It's really exciting to see a hip, aesthetic cafe opening in the East Hollywood neighborhood. I definitely feel like I'll be going for the good vibes and cool people watching rather than the food or drinks. The food is reasonably priced but I wouldn't say it's the best breakfast you can get in LA. It's quite simple. There's not much to say about it. As for the drinks, my coffee snob boyfriend said their coffee was too dark for his liking (if that helps). The staff is friendly and it's a beautiful space to chill and read a book or something. The outdoor seating is lovely too especially on a sunny day. I would definitely be going back with some friends.

The food was ethereal, the service impeccable. Seriously, staff were very friendly. I've been to other trendy places and always feel judged but these people were kind and respectful. The only ehhh about this is all the people taking pictures in front of the place, I think theres a couple dozen pictures of me with a mouthful on strangers phones, like the girl in the photo. Believe me though, the pancakes are the BEST ones I've EVER had. I'll definitely be back, I think I'll just sit closer to a wall or something lol.

This cafe has a very cute vibe, great coffee selection and service. However, I can't justify the price with the portion and quality of the food. As you can see in the picture below, this is probably the smallest and most expensive breakfast burrito I have ever gotten, and the scrambled eggs within is granular texture and bland. It is just sad. I'm never someone that whines about the price of the food considering the state of inflation we are in. But if the quality of the food is terrible, then I don't know how you can justify the price tag.

new coffee shop in the area! was very busy/packed despite it being new (how do people find these places so fast) very simple, fairly priced menu. i'm used to paying almost $7 for a iced latte so was pleasantly surprised to see theirs was $5.50. was so sad they didn't have any matcha left i guess come early if you want to try that parking is $5 with validation but there's street parking right in front as well :)

Love it here! The food is delicious and vibes are always great. Highly recommend the tuna sandwich and the pancakes. The service is 10/10 !

The 5 stars is for the coffee and the aesthetic. Most places don't get the foam right when they don't use whole milk. I got the perfect cup of oat milk cappuccino here! The butter croissant was also really good. They were super packed on a Sunday afternoon but they have a lot of extra outdoor seating. The problem is parking. You may get street parking on a weekday. Otherwise they have valet for 5$

I have lived in the area my entire life so I know parking can be a pain depending on the time you go. It is what it is. The ambiance, it's a cafe. It is what it is. I was the second person when they opened so I don't know how it is when they are busy but the staff were nice. I really only care about the food . I started with coffee, had the Americano. It's very high quality. You get the tannins then the coffee will really smooth out. Yes 0 cream 0 sugar . Then the star of the show, the pancakes . These pancakes are absolutely delicious. Wow! Soft in the right parts crispy on the edges and some crispy parts on the tops slight lemon zest taste . As of right now these are the best pancakes I have had. They don't even need anything on them to be honest . A waffle version of this would be next level . Next on deck was the breakfast burrito. Not much really going on with that. A lot of egg. You taste the pepper the potatoes are soft. It's on the small side for sure. It comes with a tomatillo salsa which is on the basic side, no spice at all. I got it to go and covered it in Cholula when I got home lol . I can see some people liking it but to me it was just ok. I wanna give them 5 stars based off of just the pancakes but I need to try more dishes before that can happen. Can't be giving 5 stars away like nothing . Highly recommended, show up early for easy street parking .

Cafe Telegram has beautiful aesthetics and great coffee/ food. My only concern is the customer service inconsistency. Ive been here a few times, and most recently dined here on Sunday 4/28 around 10 am. This was by far the worst customer service I have received here. The girl at the register reluctantly took my order as if she was doing me a favor. I then sat down to wait for an order and catch up with a friend who met me there. My food arrived, because I placed my order for dine in, I then waited an additional 20 mins and my iced coffee never arrived. I went inside and one of the staff members informed me that the ticket for the coffee order was lost and they needed to know my order again, the girl who originally took my order just stared at me when she overheard this , and no one offered an apology or even cared that I was inconvenienced with the order being lost. My coffee finally arrived in a plastic cup, although this was specifically an order for dine in. The lack of care and consideration for the customer is not a good look for a cafe that survives due to the customer. I would definitely recommend training your staff to at least pretend to care.

Came to try out some food & coffee but arrived around 2:05 when they said it the food was stopped serving at 2. However on yelp it says open til 3.... Waste of time lol

Best pancakes in LA, and the blueberry topping is delicious. Also really like the kale salad with a scoop of the tuna fish salad. Great patio, although the inside is also light filled and relaxing

They should rename is to Cafe Upcharge. Would you like sweetener? 25 cents extra.. Would you like parking? 5 dollars.. would you like matcha latte, that's another 50 cents, oh you want a nice milk, that's a 1.25.. I mean, cmon. When the front cashier was telling me about all the things I can have in my drink, he forgot to mention all the extra costs for everything, it was a 30 dollar breakfast for toast, eggs, and a matcha. Actually insane. Ambiance was fine no complaints there, beautiful building. Only go here if you're in the area and need a place to meet a friend.
