Café Telegrama blends a stunning olive green facade with a cozy interior, serving up delicious brunch and solid coffee in a bustling Hollywood vibe.
"Cafe Telegrama, located in Melrose Hill, will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. It offers a hangout spot for the holiday with menu items like French toast made with Jyan Isaac bread and coffee." - Matthew Kang
"Café Telegrama is a snapshot of the times. If you’re reading this in 2034 (greetings from the Biden era), you’ll see what we mean: green tiles, muted decor, micro-influencers who “create” “content” at coffee shops. This East Hollywood cafe attached to Ètra—and from the same folks—is plagued with such clichés, but once you move past all that, it’s a nice place to exist with a $5 latte. This isn’t the most welcoming coffee shop in town. Street parking is a pain, it closes at 3pm, there’s no WiFi, and the wooden chairs cut off circulation to your left buttcheek after a half-hour. Rather than lingering for an afternoon, come to Café Telegrama for a pleasant lunch or quick coffee run. The food menu is decently long and varied, with things like a nicely spicy eggplant sandwich on a chewy baguette, a simple but effective soft scramble, and a spiced tea cake that’s denser than a memory foam pillow. Nothing is bad, nor will it blow you away, but it all looks pretty enough to share with your followers." - Sylvio Martins
