I like Peet's Coffee on Ventura Blvd, just east of Laurel Canyon in Studio City. Comfy leather chairs, some tables, WiFi, and best coffee in town. Free parking, too! Frozen yogurt shop next door. ChinChin healthy Chinese upstairs. Cafe Aldente (good, cheap Italian eats) a few doors down. Who could ask for me?

Review Contributed By: Anna S. and Others
I'm not terribly surprised that a lot of writers have mentioned that they NEVER leave the house to write, and I can certainly understand why - comfortable, cozy, and you can work in your PJs with all your papers piled nearby for easy reference. However, personally, I occasionally have to switch locations and go somewhere there are actual people - I find the white noise of other humans soothing. Plus, there's better coffee to be had in the outside world. Still, especially if you're a night owl, sometimes the best place to crank out the pages is still home sweet home.

Los Angeles Public Library

This is a no-brainer: the library. Everyone thinks it's cool to sit at a tiny little Starbucks table and work, but for me, nothing beats the serenity of the library. Not to mention the easy access to reference material! You'll often find me at the public library on Robertson or LaBrea. Generally you can find a place to plug in and stay as long as you want. The only bummer is you have to keep calls on the DL, but since you're there to focus and work anyway, shut off the phone and go fer it.

A great, Latin-themed coffee shop right on the edge of Little Armenia. Regular live music and cultural events, but more importantly, it's a great place to just sit and write. Sit all day, and the only time the staff will bug you is to remind you to put quarters in the meter. Street parking can be tricky, but if you find a spot, definitely worth the effort. Pros - the Mexican hot chocolate is spectacular, and a constantly changing sandwich and salad menu, relaxed atmosphere, never overcrowded, plenty of table space and plugs. Cons - parking, the music can occasionally be a little loud, no couches!
