Parking can be difficult. Some people risk the small reserved lot by the Silverlake Lounge.

The smooth Cuban-style cafe con leche and frozen fruit shakes complement any pastry. Servers pour heavy on the milk, so specify how you want your coffee beforehand, or order an espresso and add milk yourself.

Surly service, decent coffee
brought to you by

The history and spirit of the Tropical Bakery is admirable (I miss those cakes), but sadly it does not make the food any better, and it most certainly does not help the staff act any friendlier. Sad, because it is a really cool joint....

Pros
+ cheep cookies/good juice
Cons
- everything else
