Espresso Profeta

"I cannot recommend this place due to a regrettable encounter with the owner. The issue arose when, despite my informing him that my dog is a service dog, he questioned the nature of the services my dog provides. This inquiry quickly escalated into the owner raising his voice and engaging in argumentative behavior. The unexpected display of rudeness left me profoundly shocked and upset, prompting me to question why someone would allow themselves to be discourteous to a woman and her service dog while simply trying to enjoy coffee after a long day. The overall experience was thoroughly unpleasant and absolutely disrespectful."

"The Iced Americano is the best! I have been to many coffee spots. The espresso beans seem to have less acidity but wonderfully smooth. It is watered down but rich in flavor. Service: always consistently wonderful Parking: very challenging. Please park responsibly."

"I'm giving 1 star and that's only for the charming brick building in which this cafe is located. At Espresso Profeta, I was insulted, served the worst 'coffee' imaginable--- hot water-- essentially. I ordered an Americano, who the nasty little guy serving me said had 2 shots of espresso. I assumed if it really had 2 shots, a 12 ounce cup should have good flavor. It has no flavor. None, hot water. I asked for half and half, I know he didn't put it in, I saw him heating the milk. I tried to drink it, but it was stupid to drink hot water. So, when i went to complain and said 'this is hot water' the guys at the counter, 3 of them, hanging around doing nothing, sort of attacked me as a group,. They ridiculed me, laughed at me, especially when i told them i live in Italy-- I DO! Not only didn't they offer to make me another coffee, they said "why don't you go to Ministry of coffee; their coffee is good!" YES i couldn't make that up. They actually did say that. I know that because i am not a 22- yr. old UCLA student they felt that they can serve anything to a middle aged woman, who they felt they could insult-- and when I pushed back, they didn't like it. They got even nastier. I hope the owners, a couple whom I have read about, who opened this cafe, read this and learn who they have working for them. I can tell them even more detail of how obnoxious and demeaning their 'team' is. And by the way, I did go to Ministry of coffee. There was a line out the door. Not the case at Profeta."

"The coffee quality is the best in Westwood. The are inside and outside was cute and cozy. Can get overcrowded at times. The service was a bit off. When I was ordering a drink I felt like they’d be better without me. And I should better go somewhere else. So maybe it was a wrong day or something. Because I do like the quality of the coffee."

"In a nutshell, I don't recommend this place and I won't be back, even if I'm right across the street. Got a Spanish latte with an extra shot and a chocolate chip cookie. The Latte was good but even with the extra shot it was still very sweet (for me). The cookie was good, chewy and had nice textures. It's a cute little place with seating inside & outside. Prices are high for the small cups (most only one size), would be nice to have some bigger options. Staff wasn't welcoming at all, and this is why I won't be back. Seemed like they didn't want to be there and I was interrupting their conversation by ordering. So sorry? I and 2 other people had to remind them to give us part of our order that they forgot. Parking is rough, meters or a paid lot it seems. Only stopped by because I was in the area, and they were right across the street."
