Pretty good place, nice stuff. Helpful staff.

Ok so i wanted to come here because it’s supposedly a sex shop and a café, and it’s massive and in hollywood and oh it’s so very wonderful…
ummm…
So we arrive, two girls, two girls capable of spending alot of money. and the lingerie section is weak, the toy section is just a wall, fewer dvds than any smaller place. what did it have alot of?
space.
you heard me.
space.
everything is so spread out, and it only took us 10 minutes to walk through the entire store. i drove to hollywood for this… seriously?
and the café…
don’t get me started…
It’s kind of like a mini starbucks only the drinks have dirty names, and well the girl doesn’t know how to make them.
i asked for a cold macchiato… i ended up with coffee and ice blended with a little bit of milk. strong bitter coffee, hardly any milk. and lots of ice.
oh. and on the way out? the girl at the register was complaining about shifts…
Yeah… we did it once. got the t-​shirt and hey guess what!
we won’t be back.

Midnight Saturday and we’re cruising through Hollywood and craving dessert, only to be disappointed in our first few stops as they were either jammed or just getting ready to close.
So Unilocal to the rescue suggesting Hustler Hollywood Café. While the reviews were definitely mixed, they were all really old, so we decided to give it a try. And glad we did! Fabulous service, great ice cream blended drinks (with names to make you blush), yummy apple tarts, and a pretty damn good caramel latte! And all at reasonable prices!
Bonus — you can cruise around the Hustler Store with your coffee whilst checking out the adult toys, sexy lingerie and heels so high you get a bloody nose!
Fun way to end a Saturday night! Oh, and free parking in the back,

Uhhhgh! Had the WORST café experience ever here. It was a late rainy night when I popped into the World Famous HUSTLER café’/shop/store. There was a disgruntled dyke working the counter, which is fine with me, just don’t insult me or abuse me, or take out your hostilities on me, ok? It’s a rough life we are ALL living.
I ordered a decaf coffee (probably strange right of the bat. Who orders decaf late at night on Sunset Blvd. People who don’t want to shorten their lifespan due to avoidable sleep less nights.) She wasn’t pleased with my request and said it would have to be make as a decaf Americano. No problem. That is until I received the coffee which was not hot and tasted like Folgers instant coffee but with one tiny teaspoon in a 16 oz. cup. Yum. Coffee flavored water! And at the tune of $ 2.00 and change. I really, honest to God, tried to drink it but it was undrinkable. I thought about kindly letting her know of my disappointment but knew what the answer would be. Ok. So, I finally get the guts up to address this wee issue and instead of asking for a refund, sheepishly asked to make an exchange. It wasn’t easy but I did it. She shot me a series of dirtly looks and responded with she made it with three shots. (Americano, for those who don’t know, are small, concentrated shots of coffee IE: Espresso, blended with water). Well, that may be so but this stuff was coffee flavored water. She wouldn’t have any of it, nor would she make another. I asked for an exchange, perhaps for a bottled soft drink? Absolutely not, and to top it of, basically a get the hell out of here attitude.
That was the night I vowed to never shop at Hustler again and to express my disdain with friends and fellow Unilocalers. I blame Hustler most of all for being so cheap as to hire low-​rent, bottom feeding, whisker-​faced trash fish, with the only intention to save extra cash to line the pockets of the CEO. It will only come back to haunt you. Customer service creates longevity, this is something a blind man will never see.

After missing a bus, I reluctantly headed into the Hustler store across the street for a coffee. Their menu was very creative and I actually thought their prices were very reasonable, and cheaper than Starbucks or Coffee Bean. I’ve had two drinks here, a soy-​chai-​latte, which was delicious, and today, a «Vanilla Nut Buster» with espresso in place of coffee. The barista was very helpful, nice, and although the blended drink took a little time to make, I found a perfect birthday card for a friend and sniffed the candles. They have two seating areas, but unfortunately the outdoor area is next to Sunset Blvd and a little loud, but the indoor tables were very clean, and perfect to get in a little study time. It’s a great caffeine-​stop down Sunset strip. I’d definitely recommend it!

Blah.
Maybe it’s my fault for being slightly tipsy already, but we came here after a night at Whiskey a Go-​Go for smoothies and honestly, I make better smoothies back at the crib on the old magic bullet… in fact, theirs not really any magic in the smoothies here, so I felt pretty whatever about it. I will be doing another review when I have time to stop by there again, but for now…
I give HHC a 3 out of 5 stars

Being the uptight conservatives that we tend to be, heading to the Hustler store was probably one of the last things we wanted to do on our business trip, but to be a pal, we went to go get someone a souvenir. The shop next door isn’t nearly as tawdry as one would expect for a Larry Flint franchise, leaning more towards Frederick’s of Hollywood, than the sort of adult-​like bookstore we were expecting. Besides, the scented candles they had displayed were probably the best smelling candles we’d ever found.
We were pretty excited to see the attached café, having been walking for quite awhile, and in desperate need for some thirst quenching. Despite the blush-​inducing names of some of the smoothies, they were absolutely fantastic. The Ron Jeremy was this peanut butter/​banana concoction and was probably one of the tastiest drinks we’d ever had. The mango cheesecake was so delectable, so rich, so delicious, that after only a few bites we had to ask for a to-​go box. The girl running the café was sweet, very helpful, and extremely competent and handling our party of 6, all of whom ordered smoothies and desserts. If you don’t mind seeing wall to wall flesh, this is the place for you.

Do not go here! Rudest service ever! I called on the phone and was very polite and the guy basically hung up on me, because he was «busy.» It was a friday at 4pm and I understand if someone is busy, but don’t be rude. I’m sorry, but I don’t like giving my money to a place where the service is not just bad, but down right rude.
