Cafe Grano Los Angeles
Culturally Delicious
Val from Los Angeles
I've been making a list of good places to cafe, drink a delicious drink, and work off a laptop. One nice place I found is Cafe Grano. On the corner of Burbank’s downtown district, it’s a melting pot of high-quality food and culture. Not a lot of people know this, but there are more film studios in Burbank than in Hollywood, and this lends itself to a free corporate creative culture. Here is where the everyday Works lives.
I'm impressed with the variety! Not only do they have the typical coffee and teas, they also have pastries, gelato and healthy food too. There are smoothies, wellness shots, and delicious paninis. Mouth watering. They are also the freshest, fluffiest pastries I’ve ever seen. Jaw drop! I ordered the Green serenity smoothie, and my brain instantly went fully. The taste and feeling here is so good.
Cafe Grano is a cozy place to hang. There’s indoor/outdoor seating with a great ambiance for gathering. There are people talking about film scripts, comedy productions, and conversations across multiple languages. The playlist is upbeat, but not too cliche, with golden songs from the 70s – 90s and an all around good vibe.
I like Cafe Grano. It’s a great place to grab delicious food, meet with a friend or work off a laptop and people watch.
