This cup-of-joe accompaniment is not your average overpriced dry muffin or sticky coffee cake. The offerings are much more luxurious at Espresso Profeta, a café-lover’s dream tucked into a small side street in Westwood. A thick slice of brioche (a rich, pastry-like French bread) is spread generously with gooey Nutella and topped with freshly-sliced strawberries for only $3.75. If you like your brioche pure, a toasted slice is the same price. And don’t feel guilty about such an indulgence: Just remember to check your face for any remaining chocolate-hazelnut evidence.
