Nice casual place . Small inside seating, large outside patio . Parking can be a hassle. Small menu, but you'll find something to like. Gets busy as the night goes on.

Gypsy Den is awesome; both locations! Atmosphere is unique & the food is nothing short of great. I actually ended up eating here a few times during my trip to LA, and each meal was superb.

I had a great time at the Gypsy Den last weekend, actually stumbled upon it by accident while looking for a place to eat and grab some coffee @LAB. The coffee was so good as was the food. Will return!

Marco Peplinski

I had an awesome time with my buddies at Gypsy Den this weekend. Loved the atmosphere and the awesome staff/service. Def. recommend this to those looking for a cool place to eat!

Jesse Lin

The Gypsy Den has the BEST iced chai tea (vanilla or spiced) I have ever had. It's not too pricey and one of the best icy drinks I've had in awhile. Although the consistency of it depends on the baris

Daniel Hatmaker

Love the chai lattes and creme brûlée . Most of their beer is worth trying too. Fun atmosphere . Friendly staff .

Yasmine

I've been coming here for years the quality is always great. Best mocha and whipped cream in socal

Athena Marie

Try their Mayan hot chocolate or Mayan coffee . So good! Tastes like the Abuelita (Mexican) chocolate . Also their nachos are delicious! Try to go in the evening because the atmosphere is so nice.

Cute place. Not exactly a good place to go if you need alt dairy in your coffee . Ordered an iced latte with almond milk & found out it was expired after the milk had settled for a little bit.

Yrenia Yang

Great place for tea and coffee . Love the Mayan Mocca I got here

Christine Tran-Phan

Fave hot drinks are the cafe Francais or the chai tea latte . Food isn't the same since they changed their menu and all the items I liked aren't there anymore, not to mention the daily specials .

Gregg Lillie

Mayan mocha is the way to go. or try a strawberry banana smoothie . or the Waldorf chicken sandwich . or just relax and enjoy not being at starbucks

Beautiful ambience and friendly smiling staff . the food here isn't that big of a deal tho lol. Except the adobe stew . The tips are right; the adobe stew is legit..

merve keciboynuzu

Spiced chai tea , egg&bagel, carrot cake r my fav. I'm in love w this place. Only thing is you have to wait a while to get ur orders.

Brett Deister

Great place. Just make sure if you a party with 6 or more to bring cash. They will not split the check.

Yesi Campos

After your coffee go next door to Memphis and get a house drink (the whiskey ones will make ya drunk in one sitting !)

Matthew Smith

Came around 8pm on a Sunday and service was S L O W as hell! About 10min before water, another 5 for order, and over 20min for food. If they were understaffed it would have helped to know beforehand.

David Travels

$10 Bottomless Mimosas until 3 PM. I can dance with that!

Ingrida

Chicken Pesto ravioli is out of this worlddd! Banana mocha is bomb too

Taylor Chanes

Try their vanilla latte , I still crave it every day!

Lindsay McCormick

Menu is NOT the same as it used to be! A lot smaller and ALL of my favorite items are missing! I stick to Native Foods or 118° now

Paul

Try the veggie burger with sweet potato salad on the side! Delicious!

David Smittcamp

The table closest to the condiment cart is wobbly. There are cool green circular pillow pods nearby to do cool yoga moves on.

Theresa Dreike

Hannah Caprara

The "special" provided by American Express wasn't authorized by the cafe , btw. Fabulous service :)
