50 Best Coffee Shops near Highland Park

“One of my favorites in LA. Try the business and pleasure to get a well rounded sampler of their different offerings.“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“Best matcha in LA. They do one thing and one thing incredibly well… MATCHA. The drinks, soft serve are top notch. I wish they had more locations but always worth the trip to buy matcha to take home or a drink to enjoy while walking little tokyo“

“I wouldn’t say this is a disappointment like others. I also went when the line wasn’t long and we got one strawberry matcha and one einspanner and the einspanner was better in my opinion. If you’ve had about time it was similar, but smaller as well. I approve and it’s not bad. Nothing to gag about but it’s pretty good and it’s a lighter einspanner compared to other ppl“

“This is a tiny counter with serious espresso. The cappuccino art is consistently pretty, but I stay for the cheddar scallion biscuit—flaky with a soft interior. There’s a shaded sidewalk bench that’s prime for people-watching on Glendale Blvd. They remember regulars’ orders, which feels old-school. Great pit stop before hiking up to the reservoir loop“

“Finally I got to try this place and yes it’s EVERYTHING I expected and more . We loved it all and will be coming back real soon……… parking is an act of God but the Gods must have been looking out for us and we got parking right in front ♥️“

“Great cafe. I came here again recently and ordered a macchiato (traditional) and it was excellent. Was very pleased, because these can be hard to find in LA done correctly. You can tell they care about coffee here and the service and atmosphere was very nice. I haven’t tried the food yet, but overall great addition to the neighborhood!“

“Best Breakfast in Hollywood! We love it. Also the people they work there, are very friendly. Easy parking in front of the restaurant. Aircondition and relaxed music... So let us start in the day perfectly! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I'd have to tell you last Friday I went to Lola's because my wife kept raving about how wonderful of a place it was. So I had to try it out for myself. A young lady named Abigail (who looks like Billie Ellish) and who just had this welcoming spirit and made you feel comfortable along with the rest of the staff. Once you were sat and you were able to go through the menu, I had looked up some items online and their food looked exactly as it was presented in their pictures. Even better, the food, it was absolutely, completely, delicious!!! The atmosphere made you not want to leave, and it was comfortable, it was inviting. They checked on you periodically to see if you needed anything at he same time, allowing you to enjoy the ambience of the place. I had the enchiladas and Arnold Palmer balanced perfectly. It's a good first date place. My date I've been with her 30 years Married and enjoyed every moment there, oh also our daughter was present.“

“Just had the best latke I've ever had, paired with the most memorable apple sauce, thick and spiced, almost jammy in texture...I'll be back just for those alone! The open faced bagel with lox and crispy salmon skin was also a win, and the server was super friendly. So glad I stopped by!“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“MAKISUPA (est 2024) is Silver Lake's brand new coffee bar located right across the street from Blair's restaurant and adjacent to Camelot School. Their indoor has an atrium-style seating area where staff serve coffee drinks. Its tranquil atmosphere definitely attenuates the stress in your work. It’s my first time here and ordered a Cold Brew. It was perfectly made to my liking.

Service was on point and staff was nice and competent. Prices were very competitive. They are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and weekends from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is a free parking behind the building and surrounding neighborhood.

Overall, I had a good experience and I recommend this coffee bar. I’ll definitely come back.“

“We loved our visit to Camel this morning. I’ve been out of the city for a while and I’m happy to see such a unique shop pop up. It reminded me of Star Wars inside ? obviously desert themed. Super sick. Love the seating upstairs. But most importantly the staff were very pleasant and the coffee was so good. I love when everything works in unison at a shop like that. Perfect americano. The pastries are great also.“

“This Latina woman–owned coffee shop is such a hidden gem. From the outside it might look a little rough, but step inside and you’ll be greeted with the warmest service and the most delicious food. I had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a long time, and the mazapán latte was out of this world. PERFECTLY made. The team here truly makes you feel welcome, and you can tell they pour so much love into what they do. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this spot! 🌸☕🥪 Gracias chicas!!“

“Republik Coffee is as solid as it gets. It has good food, good coffee, and a good ambiance, which makes it a great hang out spot.The breakfast burrito, an almond danish, and a hazelnut cappuccino. It's not a large breakfast burrito, but I felt like all off the ingredients were good quality. The danish was good,and the cappuccino was solid as well.“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“Laveta is a super cute minimalistic cafe located close to echo park lake in Los Angeles. They have their own parking lot, which already is an A+. But since it is a small lot, there is street parking all around. They have really cool inside seating as well as outdoor seating.

They offer coffee, matcha and teas. But let’s not ignore the food they offer, which I highly recommend you try out! I’ve heard the burger is delicious but haven’t tried it because I’m obsessed with their Avacado toast! It’s literally the best Avacado I’ve had! Their coffee is good as well. I’ve had their iced vanilla latte, which you can’t go wrong with. I also enjoyed one of their signature coffee, the laveta.

Check it out!“

“My favorite coffee spot in LA. Their Vienna latte is top tier but my favorite drink is the buttercream latte. It literally tastes like a werther’s caramel. The parking lot is TINY but there are meters around. The shop is also small with just 3 tables so it really is more of a grab and go place than a hang out.“

“This is the best matcha in LA. I get a dirty matcha with oat milk and their homemade lavender syrup and it’s insane. They use ceremonial matcha too! The texture of the drink so so silky and amazing. A must try. Not expensive at all and you can get stamps to work towards a free drink! ?

It’s also a dream if a vibe in there.“

“Love the Pink Latte just as much as I loved my experience with the Manager Sam. Great staff, wonderful service. ill definitely be back.“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“After eating a delicious spicy chicken sandwich from Chimmelier down the street on one of the hottest days in Los Angeles, a Blackberry Lemonade from Frank Coffee was deliverance! A very refreshing drink! The staff there was very friendly! 10/10!“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“This place is very understated. They clearly want to deliver high quality and don't make a big deal of it. The only thing I would change Is the coffee ratios - I think the flat white has too much milk but that's a small point (I don't know what the espresso to milk ratios are in their other drinks). Maybe an ounce or two less milk would be good? I am really glad I found this place.“

“Modern, clean cafe with yummy Asian inspired treats. We got their chocolate mochi brownie, miso cinnamon roll, and cream bun.

All were delicious, but the mochi brownie was our favorite. The miso perfectly complements the cinnamon roll and the roll still tastes sweet. The cream bun was so soft and not too sweet.

Street parking available nearby. Cafe has good seating, high ceilings, and modern decor.“

“A great place, nice people, great staff. Excellent for a lunch, a quick snack or a coffee break from a busy day. A big plus is the garden in the back where you can sit back and enjoy the day. Also good if you prefer working outside in the sun. A warm recommendation.

Dietary restrictions: Ask the staff

Kid-friendliness: Yes, but people rarely bring kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The place has a cozy vibe with great coffee and friendly staff. The seating is comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is reliable, making it a good spot to work or relax. The pastries are fresh and pair well with the drinks. It’s a bit busy during peak hours, but the service remains efficient. Overall, a solid choice for coffee lovers.“

“Everything about this place. The owner is THE SWEETEST and was dancing when we walked in and offered us some lolipops. The interior is so fun and vibrant and inviting and the boba was out of this world we actually ended up ordering more on Uber eats later. 10000/10 recommend and their signature boba.“

“HOLEY CRAP these are incredible donuts. Who knew the Hawaiian superfood taro could be so delicious? I will most definitely be coming back here for more, even their basic donut offering, the “hot single” is to die for. All donuts are fresh made to order, highly recommend eating them hot. The flavors are orgasmic.“

“Initially I was skeptical of Onething coffee because it just recently opened, but I am so glad that I took the risk. I was really pleased by the recommendation the baterista gave me. The male baterista recommended that I get a Korean Black Raspberry Ade. It's sour-sweet almost tasting like traditional Korean tea. This is going to be my new daily shop to stop by before work.“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!

Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.“

“What a lovely little coffee shop! I had the sweetened cloud matcha, and it was perfect. The sweetness level was just right. The place itself is small, but there are a good amount of tables and chairs right outside. It's located in a green space gap between buildings. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area!“

“This is the best coffee shop around, no question about it. Their roasts are awesome and in this time of quarantine, is THE place to get your beans if you want quality coffee at home. You can order them on their website.“

“Rolled in half-wired from LA’s usual madness, looking for a breather that didn’t come from a barstool or a vape pen. Found it here—served in humble plastic to-go cups, no pretense, no flair.

The kava? Earthy, numbing, like chewing on tradition. The kratom? Smooth and clean, a quiet little lift that doesn’t ask questions. No clout-chasing, no synthetic vibes. Just low lights, ambient beats, and people who get it.

Prices were solid. Staff didn’t oversell. I grabbed a full gallon to go because some nights, you want to keep the peace with you. This isn’t a “scene.” It’s a soft rebellion against all the noise.“

“One of the best coffee spots in Pasadena! Love coming here to get my caffeine fix in. I've tried most of the menu and you honestly can't go wrong picking any drink. They offer hot and iced coffee as well as matcha and a few pastries. The owners are extremely kind people who clearly love what they do and it shows. They also give back to the community which speaks volumes. I cannot recommend this cute little coffee truck enough.“

“We had minced pork on rice, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, basil eggplant, pork belly bun, shaved ice and dou hua.
Overall, the food is pretty good. With some fine tunes, it can be closer to the yummy level of food in Taiwan, like some red beans in dessert are still hard, Dou Hua is too dry and needs some liquid or shaved ice to go with it, traditional shaved ice is too sweet though I like it much better than Korean style shaved ice, and brown rice is too hard. Service is good. Staff is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. Order at the counter, self service for water, extra bowls and utensils.
We live in the west side, and we will come back to try other stuff on the menu.“

“Delicious!!! Great service I have to go every time I’m in LA😝“

“Fairly busy even upon just opening, the barista was fast and efficient. Atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. Wish they had more seats for hanging out/ taking care of any life admin you may have. It was a really peaceful and good environment for being productive. The Spanish latte (hot) was perfect and comforting on a rare cloudy day in DTLA. The Spanish latte was quality and just placed Andante at the top of my list of the best coffee shops in downtown!“

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!“

“Whenever I find myself in Pasadena, I make it a point to stop by. As I step through the front door, the aromas are welcoming, the setting comforting, and with it a slew of memories rushes back. I discovered Jones in the early 2000’s during business trips to Pasadena. Through the years it became a must have visit, even during family trips. Leading the way is Rafael. He’s calm and welcoming and his presence is felt every where. In fact, during a 2021 visit he spotted my family and me, came over to greet us, and fondly recalled my children who he hadn’t seen in close to 8 years. It’s that type of personal attention , and good product, that has kept me coming back. Enjoy!“

“Delicious coffee, latina owned and operated very nice establishment. Beautiful Salvadorian culture“

“Friendly with an owesone staff. Coffee was so delicious.. � definitely. No more words than yummy..“

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

“It’s a nice spot to hangout. My friends and I came here after a hike and we all got drinks. It was decent but we stayed because of the patio and played some games. Friendly staff & very clean. Parking was hard to find on a Saturday morning though“

“Another trendy coffee spot in Koreatown. I got an einspanner cold brew which was really good if not a bit on the weaker side for coffee. My friend said the matcha here is pretty decent. Drinks are pretty pricey, hovering between $6 and $9. Expect a 15-20 minute wait here.“

“Republik Coffee is as solid as it gets. It has good food, good coffee, and a good ambiance, which makes it a great hang out spot.The breakfast burrito, an almond danish, and a hazelnut cappuccino. It's not a large breakfast burrito, but I felt like all off the ingredients were good quality. The danish was good,and the cappuccino was solid as well.“

“It’s been years since I visited, and yet my experience yesterday was just as wonderful.
First coffee shop in a while where I palpably noticed how appropriate the music was. Most of the time I didn’t have to wear headphones. The server was super kind too. Loved that they had outlets in multiple spots, very helpful and accommodating.“

“Maru has really Nice green tea latte. I usually leaning toward coffee and Maru’ coffee is super nice. But, their iced green tea latte is something else.“
