What people say, in short
Friends & Family in East Hollywood earns praise for its pastries and seating. One visitor describes a sunny lunch stop and recommends the Hippie sandwich, which another enthusiastically endorses. Two separate people like the pastries despite not finding the setting especially elegant. It is recommended for coffeehouse food as well as a place to sit, not as a guaranteed quiet workspace.
