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 a cafe & coffeehouse
located in the heart of Hollywood's Theater Row.
NOW SERVING BREAKFAST ON SATURDAY & SUNDAY 9AM TO 12PM!
Cafe MUSE is the place where a group of vegetarians & non-vegetarians
can meet up and all find something they like...
Featuring delicious comfort foods, a creative vibe, coffee that will keep you buzzing,
and free live entertainment showcasing incredible 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 area of Los Angeles...
and our menu offers light fare for theatre artists and their patrons.
Open daily at 9am, we serve delicous (and strong!) organic coffee, espresso & tea drinks,
as well as baked goods and desserts (the BEST chocolate chip cookies and scones you'll ever eat!).
We have a full lunch and dinner menu of healthy and delicious comfort foods
and serve food until closing late each night.
The food is a HIT! People keep coming back for our homemade southwest veggie chili,
make-your-own salads, three-cheese & sundried tomato grilled cheese, and bbq soy chicken wrap...
and did we mention we have SWEET POTATO FRIES?! YUM! 
We are mostly vegetarian & vegan - but don't let that scare you!
We serve mostly non-vegetarians here at Cafe MUSE,
and they can't get enough of our soy chicken and soy steak.
We do have tuna & egg salad on the menu for the carnivores,
and comfort foods like chili cheese fries, quesadillas, pizza and nachos,
so we have something for everyone!
Cafe MUSE also has a rotating Art Gallery and
Free Nightly Entertainment featuring...
piano music, comedy, spoken word,
