I always come here after getting my pedicures at Oasis across the street. It’s a great morning fix! They offer a good selection of pastries. Coffee is always perfectly sweetened and always super cute. The staff is kind and informative.

Pretty slow service.This used to be an indie place. Guess it got bought out. The menu does not seem not as good, but it’s been a few years since going there.

Black Elephant was phenomenal in every way. It’s a quaint, albeit small coffee shop in Burbank, with limited bench seats lining the walls. The baristas were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I ordered the Mexican elephant mocha, a ham and cheese croissant, and a banana bread loaf. Each one of these items far exceeded my expectations. The mocha was not too sweet, with just a hint of spiciness, and the croissant was delicious. The banana bread, no joke, was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Run, don’t walk, to this place!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options, including that incredible banana bread.Parking: Probably eight or so free parking spots on the street out front.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kid friendly atmosphere.

Delicious coffee, albeit a bit pricey even for LA.This is a relatively small joint with few benches inside and several tables/chairs outside. The chocolate croissant I ordered alongside the brew was a very good as well.It’s a decent spot to get a little bit of work done - if the weather is nice enough to sit outside.

My go to for unsweetened matcha latte - and I can bring my own container. Very friendly, attentive staff. I go when they open at 8am so the parking is great, the area gets really busy later. Located close to the Chandler path too. Pastries are good but not Portos good. Sitting options are couple of long benches against the wall for inside, and a small outdoor patio on the side.

The coffee was among the best I've had-- velvety smooth and obviously prepared by people who know what they're doing! We ordered a classic latte and a red eye, both of which were made perfectly. The croissant sandwich was amazing as was the blueberry muffin filled with real blueberries. Beautiful outdoor patio to enjoy your coffee too! Only down side was that we were looking for a roaster where we might also buy beans, and they did not fit that description.

Update*after visiting more then a couple times, it’s mad crazy how I order the same vanilla drink or even just a latte and get a different taste almost always.. the consistency is very low and it goes from bad to the trash can..I’ve experienced a good consistent taste with only two of your baristas (both female).. makes me happy when I see them making coffee because I know I’ll get a good coffee cup.. the others either need to practice more or maybe I should stop going..

Just came here after a bad experience at a nearby coffee shop. Was pleasantly surprised with super friendly staff, cozy vibe, and solid coffee. Glad to have found it.

Went here this morning and it was very small and cute! There is a patio area that would have been great to relax in, but I had my toddler, lol. The lavender Matcha iced latte was yummy and plus points for it being organic. My hubby enjoyed his cold brew. They were very quick getting the orders out!
