Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? More suited to a casual meetup than a true date; quick-service setup and grab-and-go vibe make it better for a low-pressure coffee introduction.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s walk-in only, with small tables rotating quickly. Best availability before 9am.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally yes for quick stops; no high chairs or play space, but the casual environment works well for older kids grabbing breakfast on the go.
Best For
Better for: Fast coffee-plus-breakfast convenience, reliable morning rhythm, and efficient grab-and-go service.
Skip if: You want a full brunch experience, plated entrées, or a longer sit-down meal — nearby cafes with full kitchens are better fits.
Supa Coffee
7.8
A hip-hop-themed coffee bar that doubles as a neighborhood brunch stop, with grab-and-go plates that land well beyond “just coffee.” The menu leans simple but well-built—burritos, toasts, pastries, and strong espresso drinks in a compact, upbeat room. Best framed as a daily brunch utility with real local rhythm rather than a long-linger destination.
Must-Try Dishes:
Breakfast burrito, Avocado toast, Iced latte

When to visit: Weekday mornings before the rush.
What to order: Breakfast burrito, avocado toast, latte.

Parking: Street parking on Pico and the adjacent residential blocks; generally manageable on weekdays but can tighten during synagogue hours and weekend brunch peaks.
Dress code: Casual and relaxed—athleisure, tees, and everyday wear fit the room’s street-culture vibe.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want something ultra-casual—it's better suited for a quick meet-up or coffee-first hang than a sit-down date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—no reservations needed. Seating is limited but turnover is fast, especially on weekdays.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally yes for older kids who can handle counter service; space is tight, so strollers may feel cramped during rush times.
Best For
Better for: Fast, flavorful breakfast items and strong coffee with a neighborhood vibe—ideal for grab-and-go brunch or a quick morning stop.
Skip if: You want a long, sit-down brunch with full-service pacing or a wide menu—choose a larger kosher brunch spot instead.
