This isn’t a hidden gem by any means, but I like to have places like this on hand when someone requests a certain type of hang, so I wanted to share what boxes this spot ticks for me. I file HL Highland Park under the following categories: best outdoor area for food & drink, best spot to get coffee as well as wine, immaculate vibes inside and out, great spot for golden hour hangouts, actually good coffee/baristas, and satisfies cravings for a SoCal atmosphere. Take heed of the downsides: it’s spency, the food is good, not great, the line can be long depending on what time you get there, no outlets, some people could be repelled by its trendiness.

“A true jack of all trades, master of none situation Highly Likely has cooked up at all four (West Adams, Highland Park, Ojai and soon to be opened Studio City) locations. Great coffee program, great food, reasonable prices, casual without being unbecoming, accessible without being lame, heavy on outdoor seating, open for all three meals — this is a primo meet and eat spot that we find ourselves me”

“the highland park location is the ideal spot to post up for a couple hours at the bar to write. good coffee, cocktails, and wine and the food hits too (the levantine sando slaps). no laptops after 5pm :((”
