Kiff Kafe

Kiff Kafe is a laid-back, market-driven and absolutely-charming coffee shop near Sawtelle in West LA. The chef and owner Eric Cuenin is French, and “kiff”, in his own terms, is slang for a small but potent pleasure. Find your kiff in their fontina sandwich, lemon polenta cake, shaded patio, or organic almond milk latte. A few items on the menu are inspired by Greece, like the spinach filo pastry (Spanakopita), or the Dakos salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, Kalamata olives, Persian cucumbers and a drizzle of the best Philippos olive oil. You’ll be able to purchase this olive oil at their tiny grocery corner, with curated gifts and food items to take home. Also, if you happen to visit Kiff Kafe during the weekend, enjoy their Gjusta bread and croissants while sipping a fresh strawberry and basil lemonade, and feel content about the fact that you’ve just saved about an hour in line at the Gjusta counter.
