What is CafeSociety?

The romance of Paris, the mystery of Buenos Aries, the gentle strains of street musicians mixing with the gentle aroma of espresso, fresh bread and the seashore. This is the dream of the sidewalk café; a dream that has transformed every other hash house and diner in Los Angeles into Café Something-or-other, doubled their prices and added 9 new coffee drinks to the beverage list.

A little crazy? We think so. Now don’t get the wrong idea, a good hangout is one of life's great joys. The comfort of waitstaff who remember your name and what you like to eat and drink harkens back to romantic small town diners, neighborhood bars of song, story, and seedy novel. Since the sidewalk café has matured from the smoky French boulevard to become a standard of almost every major, minor and diminished metropolitan area on the globe, many places aspire to the title of "neighborhood cafe" but few actually achieve the delicate blend of atmosphere, cuisine, culture and clientele necessary to create that "vibe." In the explosion of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants that Los Angeles has seen recently, it can be daunting to find a truly warm and friendly place. In our city of upheaval and constant change, how do you find a haven?

Well, we can’t make one for you, but we are looking ourselves. Since our favorite haunt was untimely sold, we have been searching for a replacement. Its hard. There is magic in a hang-out--something special that is beyond description and very different for everyone. So we will go out and checks out what is happening and report back here. If you find the perfect cafe match for your desires, please let us know. We can use all the help we can get. So check out the links for our reviews, to suggest an establishment, suggest new criteria or just let us know how we are doing. We are waiting and the half-caf skinny lattes are getting cold.
