Cafecito Organico

Tourists may wait in 20-minute lines at Intelligentsia up the street, but many Silver Lake locals prefer Cafecito, this quieter shop on Hoover. Here you’ll find less pretension, more privacy—as well as the addictive Espresso Clandestino. The shop is small with only a bit of counter space inside, but a spacious covered (and pet-friendly) patio makes for a good place to get work done, catch up with friends or make eyes at your neighbor. Street parking isn't tough to find, and bike racks abound for two-wheeled commuters.
