Muses are a sisterhood of goddesses or spirits, their number set at nine by Classical times,
who embody the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces through remembered and improvised song and stage,
writing, traditional music, and dance. Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an inspiration,
as when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but they are also implicit in the words "amuse" or "musing upon".

Cafe MUSE is the place where a group of vegetarians & non-vegetarians

can meet up and all find something they like to eat...


With delicious comfort foods, a creative vibe, coffee that will keep you buzzing,
and free live entertainment showcasing local talent,
the MUSES are alive and kicking here at Cafe MUSE!  
                              



Opened by two theatre artists, Cafe MUSE is right at home among the 15 small theaters
located in and around Santa Monica Boulevard,
in what we like to call the SOHO (South Hollywood) area of Los Angeles.
Our menu offers light fare for theatre artists and their patrons,
and nourishing food for the many creative people that live and work in the neighborhood. 


Open daily at 9am, we serve delicious organic coffee, espresso & tea drinks,
as well as baked goods and desserts. We have a full menu
of healthy and delicious comfort foods
and serve food until closing late each night.
