I went to the Black Cow last Saturday around lunch time and it was very busy, but I have to say it was worth the small battle to get in. I had the best vanilla latte ever. (Kudos to the barista, I think his name was Josh.) I've been going to starbucks for so long I think I forgot what good coffee really tastes like. There is lots of free parking behind the cafe, and with a 9 hour limit you can take your time and explore Montrose. It's is a great little nook to visit in LA.
Pros: Lots of parking, friendly service, good food.
Cons: busy
