I moved to the Valley about two years ago and ever since I got here, the corner of Woodman and Ventura across from Petit Trois has been a mystery. A valuable location held down by “Samos Cafe,” a place that has been closed the entire time and appeared to previously be a shwarma place.
They recently re opened and much to my surprise, it is primarily a coffee/pastry shop, with pastries brought in daily from Chaumont, a marzocco for espresso, and various middle eastern specialty dishes.
The valley is honestly a coffee wasteland, so this is a godsend.
My sister is right in this area and I’m usually stopping at a Starbucks in that area so definitely down to check out the Coffee roaster next time I’m out that way
