Los Angeles’s coffee scene has come a long way since the days of sugary syrups and poorly foamed milk.

A number of LA restaurants have resumed outdoor dining service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns for all involved. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.
