Priscilla’s is a quant little coffee shop with great outdoor seating, a super friendly staff, and exactly the types of food and drinks you would expect of a Burbank coffee shop.
My most recent cappuccino would be very average compared to LA coffee shops: good espresso, decent milk, no latte art, and a ‘bla’ sort of tasting experience that leaves you much more focused on conversation and ambiance than actually noticing what you’re drinking. Of course I know I’m not the easiest coffee lover to please sometimes, but I honestly will order drinks here again from time to time. They don’t serve bad drinks by any stretch, just not anything to tell your friends about.
Admittedly I haven’t tried anything but scones from here, which are more to my liking than their drinks. But if that is any indication of their other pastries, I would recommend them for sure.
The environment outside is great. The seats wrap around their corner location with umberellas and a decent amount of space per seat. Inside is a little bit more cosy, yet still has a definitely positive vibe going for it.
This is a great place for casual date, or short meeting, or buying gifts (if you’re really bored). And although they have wireless internet – it can get busy at times, so ‘coffee campers’ should be considerate.

Thanks for the review, Chuck! I often suggest Priscilla’s as a meeting place whenever I get together with folks in the 818. I agree with your review in its entirety. Their strength is really the ability to camp out, hence, all the screenwriters typing away on their Macs….
Thanks Christopher! Yeah, this place is perfect for writing.
