Taza’s Cafe: Tasty Treats in Universal City

June 26, 2014 by

With cinnamon buns to die for and excellent coffee from the espresso bar, a trip to Tazas Cafe in Universal City is worth the trip. Classical music abounds as customers relax and enjoy a drink or light bite from the reasonably priced cafe menu. Serving breakfast, lunch, and light dinner fare, menu choices include omelettes, quiches, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and soups, as well as desserts. Be sure to try the mushroom brie soup and the fresh lemon and garlic caesar salad. After a relaxing meal, head into the Hooka lounge which is open from 6:30 am to midnight daily. Taza's currently stocks more than 50 flavors for your smoking pleasure and adds new ones monthly. Not particularly child friendly, it is recommended to leave the little ones at home when heading to this local hot spot.
