Where morning coffee meets evening cocktails — a laid-back café and bar in the heart of Los Angeles, serving real food, great drinks, and good company since day one.
The Cafeteria started with a simple idea: create a place on Sunset Boulevard where people actually want to linger. Not rush through. Not just grab and go. But sit down, breathe, and enjoy what's in front of them.
By day, we're a café — pour-over coffee, fresh pastries, hearty breakfasts and lunches made with ingredients we actually recognize. By night, the lights dim, the music shifts, and we become a bar — craft cocktails, local beers, and wine by the glass that pairs perfectly with small plates and late conversations.
Whether you're grabbing a morning espresso before work, meeting a friend for brunch, or winding down with an Old Fashioned after a long day, there's a seat for you here.
Whether it's a birthday dinner for twelve, a corporate happy hour, a launch party, or an intimate gathering with close friends — The Cafeteria can host it. Our space is flexible, our service is warm, and we'll work with you to make it feel exactly right.
"My go-to spot on Sunset. The coffee is genuinely some of the best I've had in LA, and the atmosphere is just perfect — loud enough to feel alive, quiet enough to actually talk."
"We hosted a small birthday dinner here and it was flawless. The staff went above and beyond, the food was incredible, and the cocktails? Unreal. Already planning our next visit."
"Finally, a place on Sunset that doesn't feel like a tourist trap. Real food, real drinks, real people. The shakshuka changed my life and I'm not even being dramatic."
