A blessing right across the street from the medical complex (especially since many of the suites do not allow anyone but the patient to stay inside for safety.) If I'm ever in Burbank again, it will be one of my first stops for sure.
The coffee is great, and they're very accommodating for the pickiest of customers (like myself.) Their selection isn't as wide as big chains, but it's quality over quantity here. A smooth cold brew, well layered espresso, a fresh and fragrant brewed coffee, and even smoothies and tea. The prices are comparable to the big chains, but the taste is much better.
And it's a family business, which is hard to find in a busy medical complex where Starbucks usually plants a store immediately. The staff there when I visit was funny, light-hearted and eager to chat if I was. Very important qualities when dealing with people that may be going through a rough time with medical issues and medical staff that are tired and stressed.
If you're taken with their coffee, they even offer their beans to take home (can't speak to the taste of those - yet!) The father of the team actually roasts the beans for the shop himself, and offers two different varieties at very reasonable prices. Really a completely do-it-all business here, a real hidden treasure.

Dominique makes the best cappuccino I’ve had in LA since Open Space in Fairfax shut its doors.
Sammy has impeccable customer service.
We hesitated to hit up a cafe inside a medical center but they create a welcoming atmosphere that makes us want to return.
