The Witch’s Cottage
North Hollywood
Located in the former Federal bar space in North Hollywood, The Witch's Cottage is an immersive, whimsigoth fantasy venue operating as a cozy cafe and bakery by day and a full restaurant, bar, and event space by night. Guests are enchanted by storybook decor like fairy-tale tree murals and broom parking, along with hidden areas like fairy hovels and the secret Tempered Flask Tavern speakeasy. Highlights include potion cocktails, cauldron mac and cheese, and distinct pastries such as rosemary chocolate chip and strawberry balsamic cookies.
Commenters are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the magical atmosphere, welcoming staff, and immersive design, frequently celebrating the spot for special occasions.
