I’m never disappointed when I visit the 101 Coffee Shop.. maybe because it’s usually 2am and my food standards have lowered, but I always leave happy. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options on the menu, and the ambiance is old-school diner meets chic LA. By far the best hotel diner you’ll find around LA.. take THAT Santa Monica Best Western IHOP!

The menu at 101 Coffee Shop features retro diner fare with a Southern California twist. Acclaimed Chef Brandon Boudet combines the best of the Hollywood Farmer’s Market with hearty yet simple classics. Signature items include Cajun Catfish and Eggs; The 101 Salad with Corn, Beets, Edamame and Green Beans; and Grilled Tandoori Salmon Sandwich with Cucumber Yogurt on Pumpernickel, along with more traditional diner favorites like Silver Dollar Buttermilk Pancakes; Meatloaf; and the Tuna Melt. For selective vegetarian and vegan diners, the menu also features selections such as the No Huevos Rancheros, a spicy vegan play on the classic brunch dish with a scramble of tofu, soy chorizo, corn and peppers.; Mushroom Taquitos; and Macaroni and Cheese. To end the meal, the 101 has sweet treats like the Black Eye Milkshake with vanilla ice cream and espresso or the Waffle Brownie Sundae.

The ambiance of this coffee shop is really great. Although this place looks pretty expensive it is the best place to relax and drink coffee.
