M Street Coffee

I was lucky to have this very fine coffee shop just down the street from the place where I stayed with my family while visiting universal studios. The place had a great atmosphere, a great selection of coffee and latte specialties, and plenty of those pastries to choose from. Plenty of nicer on the wall, see the book inside and outside. The style of seating was quite buried with a small upper loft area, and a lower area next to the very studies, and various tables outside both in front of the shop and along the side. The baristas seemed very friendly and attentive, and readily gave advice on the choices that they had to offer. The strawberry latte I got was quite enjoyable, which I enjoyed along with a little gluten-free loaf - quite tasting with pretty star sprinkles on top. I went here twice over the weekend not bothering to look for another place because this one was just what I needed. If you are staying in Studio City, I recommend a stop by here for your coffee here

I had a great cup of coffee in a fine mug at M Street Coffee. That’s all you really need sometimes…a great cup of coffee, perfectly strong, served in a comforting real mug. This was my experience on a packed Sunday morning where the upper-deck was filled with lap-top users who looked like they’d staked out these tables months an advance. (You could almost see the proprietary flags waving.) I had a comfortable seat on the couch near the drink pick-up area. I enjoyed the pumpkin scone I had…it was perfect accompaniment to the house brew drip coffee and a very generous size. It’s cool that you can get drinks in real mugs, though there aren’t refills (which many places do on drip coffee) and you will be given a mug / serving size corresponding to the size you choose. They’ve also got local artists’ work on the walls (and actively encourage you to submit a query on their website about hanging yours.) There were some drink specials available that you won’t find on their website too. And the best part, really, was how friendly the staff were…Despite it being super-busy with a very long line, they seemed genuinely loving and engaged with every customer who stepped up to the counter. M Street Coffee is a great local alternative to any chain coffee place where you’re sure to get a fine cup of coffee and a smile.
