CHARLES PHOENIX LOVES PANN’S COFFEE SHOP – AND SO DO WE!
Our friend Charles Phoenix sent us this video he did for KCET showing off his favorite restaurant in Los Angeles- and it happens to be OUR favorite restaurant also! Pann’s Coffee Shop is like a trip back in time. It has all the swanky glamour it had when it opened in 1958 and the same family still owns and runs it. You’d think a place with such appealing Googie architecture (our weakness!) would have average food at best – but the fare is home made, delicious, and affordable. What more could you ask? The last time we ate at Pann’s, our waiter recalled that Halle Berry worked as a waitress there for a few days when she was preparing for her role in “Monster’s Ball.” Lots of movies have been filmed there. Enjoy the video.

I can’t believe after all the accolades for the architecture & food there was never the all-important mention of where the hell it is! How about an address if you want folks to come & sample its pleasures?? Just sayin…

When I lived in LA we often went there to eat.The food is really amazing but to get there is kinda hassle because of all the traffic.

A little weed equals a lot of onion rings and an orange freeze.

Do you order a “Sanka” there and remove your dentures before eating the cherry pie?

We don’t have places like this down under, Pann’s is on my ‘to do’ list, love that Southern California 50’s vibe. Thanks for this.

I’ll have an orange freeze shake and a patty melt with onion rings.
