If you find yourself in Beverly Hills and are in the mood for high quality, tradition Italian-style espresso drinks, visit the Armenian-owned Euro Caffe between Camden and Rodeo on Little Santa Monica. It gets a lot of praise within the Los Angeles coffee snob community. Unfortunately they close at 7pm and are not open on Sundays.

There's better scenery at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on beverly south of Wilshire, a newstand across the street and Mulberry Pizza too. But, I'll have to check it out. Anyways, drinking coffee in BH is finished now that you can't smoke at like establishments.

Coffee Bean has crappy coffee.

I don't believe Euro Caffe has outside seating anyway so the smoking law wouldn't affect its clientele.

Whose talking about the coffee. Although I agree with you.

You think people are really going to coffee shops for coffee, anymore? In, Beverly Hills, no less.

All an Armenian needs is a couple of demi-tasse cups, some Edna's and water and a little pot for boiling. No more, no less. Everything else is just window dressing.

But, next time I'm in that area, I'll try it.

How often is that? I'm hardly ever there.

I drive for good coffee because I like good espresso drinks prepared on nice machines with knowledgeable baristas. Many don't care but for those who do, or are at the very least curious, there are stores of this caliber.

There are decent places in Pasadena. That's about as far as I'll drive.

I suppose it depends on where one lives. Driving to Beverly Hills or Santa Monica or Silverlake isn't so bad for someone in or near the San Fernando Valley.

I was in Beverly Hills last week. And, the week before that.

Try the donut shop next to the pizza place inside Farmer's Market (the old section).

The coffee is cheap, lots to look at and you can still smoke.

Have any of you tried Urartu Coffee (http://www.urartucoffee.com/) in Glendale?

I've seen it but I haven't tried it. I went once and it was closed. I typically don't "hang out" in Glendale; I'm usually there with a less leisurely purpose.

Poor Urartu Coffee is very close to a Starbucks. That sucks.

And I can't even remember the last time I was in Glendale.

I love how one of their sandwiches is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

Observe.

Like I said all you need is a little pot (jazzve) and some coffee. http://laist.com/2008/05/27/latenight_snack_1.php

Here's a little Russian lullaby to go along with the hot chocolate.

Ok, one more, this one is a standard.
