I love Aroma in Studio City. It's so popular, there is always a line. You order at the counter, pick up your coffee there and get a seat inside or outside in the cosy and beautiful patio area. The baked goods are artfully made displayed in the front case to tempt you, breakfasts are plentiful, with some interesting options and... More

Aroma Cafe never disappoints. Their breakfasts are the BEST in Studio City! We stop there after our hikes in Griffith Park, Franklin Canyon, or Fryman Canyon, and they have the best service and LOVE their serrano chiles! Check out the South of the Border Omelette...'nuf said!

Most of the time there are lines at this place. IT'S OK though. Relax, read the menu, and enjoy the people. Really cool and relaxed crowd from surrounding North Hollywood/Studio City/Universal City neighborhoods. The food is of great quality and quantity. Desserts are wonderful. Great, big, comfortable patio and a wonderful inside area as well. Very kid friendly. Very gay... More

Great food doesn't matter what you desire from salads to burgers to desserts. If you are going for lunch make sure to get there early, the line is out the door, I guess it says something about the food.

This sweet find is nestled among little shops away from the busy main streets. I love coming here for the atmosphere, the delicious food, and array of wonderful desserts. The coffee is delicious as well. Order at the counter and then find one of the many little "nooks" for seating both indoor and out. Servers will bring your meal to... More

Breakfast, brunch, lunch...you can't go wrong. Always busy but there's always a nice spot either inside or outside to enjoy a meal or just a coffee. Been there several times and every meal is well prepared with fresh ingredients. Very enjoyable...

We're from the east coast, so outdoor dining in March is a treat and may sway our opinion slightly. But the menu provided ample temptation from top to bottom, and we were all very satisfied by our selections.
