A fresh scent of espresso and croissants now drifts through West Hollywood’s Rainbow District, where Drip & Dolce has quietly opened its doors at 8807 Santa Monica Blvd. Housed in the former Hollywood Burger spot, the café hums with early buzz—locals stopping by for an iced lavender latte, a flaky croissant that looks too good to eat, and a seat on the patio where pups are welcome to lounge in the shade. Every detail feels intentional, from the homemade lemonade and small-batch syrups to the signature roast coffee. Even before their liquor license arrives, it’s clear this place has already mastered the art of indulgence.
Inside the pastry case, the lineup changes daily—think lemon lavender strawberry shortcake, banoffee, or the much-talked-about “everything bagel” croissant. Alongside the sweets, there’s a full breakfast and lunch spread: avocado toast, fried chicken croissant sandwiches, and kids’ meals for the little ones tagging along. For dog lovers, the real treat might just be the outdoor seating—bright, breezy, and made for lingering over brunch while your pup snoozes by your feet.
