Cafés with Wi-Fi in Los Angeles cluster on the Westside and Downtown: Westwood & West LA and Downtown & Arts District have the most, with Santa Monica close behind. Several of the Westwood ones are on the UCLA campus, including Jimmy’s Coffee House at 398 Portola Plaza and Untitled Café on Charles E. Young Drive North.

Most close in the late afternoon, so the useful filter for a long working day is the closing time. A handful run into the evening: The Pie Hole on Hollywood Boulevard to 21:00, Cafe Dulce in USC Village to 22:00 and BASE at 731 South Broadway to 22:00.

Local tip: For an evening session, Steep in Chinatown stays open to 23:00 from Wednesday to Sunday, and Cafe Dulce in USC Village to 22:00 every day.

Tipping and table manners when you work

Counter service is the norm: order and pay first, then find a seat. In a 2023 Pew Research Center survey, only 25% of US adults said they always or often tip when buying a coffee, and 72% said tipping is expected in more places than five years earlier.7 The payment screen will suggest a tip either way.

For a very early start, Sweets Talk at 7901 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood opens at 04:30 on weekdays and 05:30 at the weekend.
