Roger M. • May 5, 2015Cozy little cafe where you can enjoy a nice cigar inside and sip on your cup of joe!

Anuar S. • June 7, 2014The croissant scramble is perfect for an early morning breakfast. Also take the time to eat inside the cafe, the atmosphere is very laid back and can really help clear your mind before a busy day.

Seph M. • September 1, 2014Cafe 21 is owned by the same person who owns Zymology, which is now one of my favorite bars. Trying to figure out how to convince him to adopt me.

Charlotte L. • May 7, 2014Cute little cafe, very quiet mid-afternoon. Nice range of pastries, and the salads looked good though I didn't try one!

Faisal A. • March 26, 2013I love their butter croissant, and great Americano

Amanda R. • August 21, 2019A spacious and friendly cafe in downtown's East Village neighborhood. Try a latte with vanilla that is made in-house or for brekfast, try their memorable avocado toast.

Tau W. • March 13, 2020Really good Caramel macchiato and (Anaheim scrambler) egg bowl 🤤

Ron J. • July 30, 2022Pretty cool spot with good coffees and eats. The waffle is tasty as is the avocado toast. The vanilla lavender coffee is tasty ☕️

Steven G. • December 31, 2011Open their menu up for their secret drinks!

Dougie F. • May 1, 2012Try the King Salmon With Heirloom Beets, Asparagus, Etc. - I forgot how good this place was. Shame on me.

Josh G. • February 23, 2016The best bagels in town! Get a Steven special! Bagel with cream cheese, bacon, and tomato with an iced coffee with a scoop of vanilla powder!

Juan H. • June 2, 2021Good place within the hotel to get a light snack/ quick bite like a small sandwich, a soda or a slice of marble cake.

Jennifer D. • February 19, 2020The massive board at the front has a ton of drink and lunch/breakfast choices. I love to pair a panini (my fav: the Pilgrim) with a coffee (usually a latte with oat milk).

Reena May L. • December 23, 2023If you want the egg in your Hayashi Rice meal, tell them you want the Omu or Omlet Hayashi Rice. The pastries are good. But we got disappointed on their Matcha Latte Kokuto Boba. Boba is hard :(
