Cafe Tropical (Silverlake)

The pastries and snacks at this Cuban coffee shop are buttery and delicious, even if most of them do all taste like they're made from the same shortening. But really, where else are you going to find a homemade guava empanada, or brick of banana bread?

 

 

Strong Coffee, Stronger Hipsters

The tables are welcoming and big enough to spread out your paper, laptop, or to sit with a couple friends.  Located in the heart of Silverlake (Sunset and Parkman), it’s a great neighborhood destination. Head’s up, though: hipsters abound.  The clientele’s always friendly, but if you’re wary of skinny indie guys with skinnier jeans, or girls with fashionable mullets, this might not be your place.  

On the other hand, the scene can make for some great people-watching while you sip your cafe con leche.  The coffee is strong enough to peel paint.  And who doesn’t appreciate that quality in a hot beverage?
