Casa Blue
By Dave
Sitting at the bend of York Blvd., Just West of Figeuroa,
CASA BLUE is one of the newest additions to the Coffee Shop scene
Casa Blue
Overall
this is a very pleasant place. The staff is bright and chipper and it
has that "we've just opened and we're trying hard" feel. I didn't check
out the live music yet, so you're on your own for that. The baked goods
seem OK, nothing super special, and the food likewise.
I would give this a tentative recommendation pending further
investigations.
