Red Window

This is one of my new favorite coffee shops! Red Window, a tiny one person shack located on traffic filled Ventura Blvd, has outstanding drinks and pastries. Red Window makes all their drinks with one small sink and a coffee machine, using Four Barrel Coffee for their drinks.

They have spectacular pastries. They sell out fast, but when I went some of the best ones were there. Some of their pastries include a huckleberry maple glazed doughnut, salted caramel pull apart bread, campfire cookie, and cheese sage croissant. The campfire cookie is interesting; it's a cookie with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and rice crispy- a big calorie load, but definitely worth it. The drink that I got was cold brew coffee mixed with chicory, sweetened with milk and over ice. I think that it tastes like Häagen-Dazs's coffee ice cream, but with a little bit of bitterness. I also got the salted caramel pull apart bread and the cheese sage croissant, which were both full of flavor. They also have a happy hour where all drinks and pastries are each $2.50, which is great because I do not mind paying $5 for a rich cup of coffee and a heavenly pastry.

The nice thing about Red Window is that it is very convenient. If you are shopping in Studio City, getting your hair done at the Dry Bar next door, in a rush to pick up your kids, or haven't had your usual 7th cup coffee of the day, you will get your coffee in 5 minutes top. You can either roll up into the driveway and order or park your car on the street; either way, you'll get your small cup of joe.
