Caffe Primo

BAD service!!!

Review Rating
I ordered a cup of coffee. While I was adding sugar and milk, I saw this giant red big lip mark on the cup! I took the coffee to the counter asking for an exchange. The server didn't look at me nor apologize for the gross cup. I will never go back to the place again.

Caffe Primo

A Taste of Italy in LA!

Review Rating
YellowBot Location
Primo's is the place for Italian gelatio on the Sunset Strip! It's similar to a Roman cafes where you can get a cafe doppio or a fast snack and be on your way. There are also paninis, pizzas and salads in addition to their Roman-style espresso bar. The tables are large marble slabs, so you might be sitting with a stranger if you come when it's busy. They also have some home-made scones, cinamon rolls, muffins (heads only), etc. if you just want to get a coffee and a light breakfast. There's street parking or in the mall lot downstairs. It's pretty informal (meaning slow), so just walk in and don't bother with a reservation.

Caffe Primo’s pleasant outdoor patio and tasty menu of paninis, pastries and gelato make it a standout in the Sunset Millennium complex. Coffee is one of its specialties with lattes often topped with flowers and hearts made of foam. Caffe Primo is also known for its gelato, which comes in over 40 different flavors. For a more substantial meal, paninis, salads and mini pizzas are also available... more

Looking straight out of Dwell magazine, dark chocolate leather ottomans and high-design tables give a sexy, late-night lounge feel to Caffe Primo. Complement the ambience with a roasted tomato, fig, and goat cheese panini or a cup of hazelnut gelato. No wonder Daniel Craig was sighted here.

Metered spots on Sunset are often hard to come by--better to park in the subterranean structure located behind the restaurant on Alta Loma Road. You can take the escalator up.

Sunset's bustling indoor/outdoor cafe offers salads & celebs

If the hulking signage of "The Sunset" complex doesn't catch your eye, then the umbrella-lined outdoor patio jammed with muscle-bound dudes (no doubt from Equinox next door), shade-wearing industry types and cell phone-toting waifs certainly will. Inside, the scene--aside from the walk-up counter--is much calmer, with chocolate-colored leather couches, bistro tables and a horseshoe-shaped bar.... more

Located in the heart of the bustling Sunset Strip, Caffè Primo is a versatile, all-day snack center, whose sleek and stylish interior is dominated by a horseshoe-shaped gelato bar and hip coffee lounge as stylishly decked out as some of the neighboring clubs. For breakfast, you can score frittatas or waffles, while lunch, dinner and late night fare features everything from hot pressed... more

AMAZING chocolate chip cookies

Citysearch

This cafe with an open-air dining room and charming patio right along Sunset Blvd possibly has the best chocolate chip cookies I?ve ever had: huge in size, tantalizingly moist and loaded with chocolately goodness. They cost around $2.50, but the taste makes them totally worth the splurge. I?m really eager to find the time to actually sit down and sample the crepes, salads, sandwiches or gelato... more

I ordered a cup of coffee and noticed there's a giant lip mark on my coffee cup. I requested for a new cup, and the server's attitude totally turned me off! He didn't apologize for this gross coffee cup, nor said anything while giving me the "clean" cup. He just seemed impatient and very unfriendly. I'll never go there again.

Pros

+ Outdoor dinging and ambience

Cons

- Overpriced and... more
