50 Best Coffee Shops near Highland Park

“Friendly atmosphere.Food is delicious.♥️ Kelly and team are super friendly.“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“Probably rank it somewhere between 4 and 5 stars so let's round up to a 5. Got 2 sandwiches, the jambon (ham) and the Daniel Special (with prosciutto) with the latter a little saltier and richer. But both sandwiches lay on an almost perfect baguette lathered with rich butter. Every ingredient seems to be of top quality that creates a delicious sandwich. The other plus is that they offer half sandwiches!“

“The service was amazing, the girls were great. They had just turned the oven off and my son wanted a croissant and the girls were nice enough to turn it back on just to make it! Definitely recommend this place. Also got their strawberry horchata latte it was delicious. Will definitely come back“

“Delicious !! Came with 5 friends, everything we ordered tasted soooo yummy 10/10 😍 service was extraordinary, our servers Heber and Xitali were so pleasant and attentive. We were so pleased with the food and service, we already want to come back!“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Got egg sando and iced mocha less sweet. Love how egg yolk was not overcooked but overall it was too salty for me. I just ate only eggs and left egg paste and bread because it’s really salty that I couldn’t finish them all. My iced mocha was still too sweet for my taste so I might try no sugar or syrup next time. Very friendly service and nice ambiance.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“Cool coffee shop space in echo park with delicious coffee. The food is great as well. I always get the Laveta and recently tried the Andante. Very tasty. Also the prosciutto toast was divine as well. Very LA spot, and on the weekends it can get very busy so keep that in mind.“

“Came here with a group of 5 and tasted the tofu donuts and the matcha soft serve!

Good:
- Tofu donut was super unique, I couldn't tell that it was tofu
- The soft serve was amazing- so creamy and not too sweet, and the serving size was large enough for 2 people to share or maybe even 3!

Bad:
- Long lines! Super popular place so you'll wait about 10 min for your order outside and there's limited seating

Overall this was a fun hole in the wall gem to find!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“New location. Still a magical oasis...just bigger! Great service with friendly baristas. Reasonably priced iced americano. So much cozy seating. This place checks off all my boxes for a dreamy place to come work. Ambiance + cozy. Not only does it have planty, jungly decor, it’s partially outdoors, but covered with fans so it’s never too hot.“

“We stopped by DAMO on a whim one Saturday afternoon. Given its popularity, we weren’t surprised by the line. It was so packed that we could barely squeeze to the counter to order. We got the matcha latte and strawberry matcha latte with cream top. I was very impressed that they whisk the matcha in a matcha bowl for every order. The matcha taste is definitely much more defined! A little pricey for a drink but given the effort in each one, I think it’s worth it as an occasional treat. With the crowd, I’d say the place is good for buying something to go, but maybe not for studying.“

“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!“

“Giving a five stars is because it’s a Taiwanese restaurant. Happy to taste some home flavor!

It was my first time visit this restaurant in the morning. I ordered pan fried pork buns, you tiao, iced sweetened soy milk, and a fan tuan to go. I highly recommend fan tuan because the taste is actually the same in Taiwan. For pork buns, not much flavorful. The soy milk is pretty good actually!

I will come by lunch or dinner time to try different menus!

*update on 5/6
Went back to try the lunch menu. Ordered a won ton soup and a beef noodle soup. I believe won ton soup with sea weed and some pepper would be better! As for the beef noodle soup, three huge beaf with great soup, better have the noodles with the soup to get more flavor!

Willing to try the other dishes on the menu.“

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

“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.“

“The frappés are creamy, flavorful, and packed with boba goodness. Whether you prefer classic milk tea or fruit-infused concoctions, there's a flavor for everyone. The taiyaki – (fish-shaped treats) are crispy on the outside and filled with a warm, sweet filling. If you're craving a satisfying and delicious treat, give Boba Sound a shot.“

“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.“

“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 cocktails!! 🍸“

“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.“

“This cafe offers very unique drinks that are otherwise hard to come by in America. The persimmon milk sounded the most intriguing, and it did not disappoint. The chunks of fresh persimmon are amazing in the milk, reminiscent of jelly drinks, and it was not too sweet. The black sesame latte was also amazing. It has a rich nutty sesame flavor and was complimentary to he added espresso. The injeolmi latte was great, but when mixed with espresso, it was overpowered: it became a simple latte with soy milk. The best part of these 2 lattes was dipping the tteok into the cream foam on top. Both flavors were heavenly. The service was friendly and there is a lot of space.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love coming here! They have amazing coffee and can prettyuch make anything you want. The amazing baristas are all excellent at what they do. the atmosphere is so elegant and relaxing you just feel at home when you are there. I try to go here a few times a week. it's my new favorite coffee place in Burbank“

“Immediately after I walked in I was greeted in a real way and asked what I was feeling like. They made me the special they have currently which was delicious. I also bought their Everything Bagel Croissant which was also delicious and unique. Geeky vibe with cozy energy. Excited to return.“

“This one is a nice place to meet people & enjoy the surroundings of the way it was built in LA

Vegetarian options: Not bad in trying ya Vegetable Plate throw in the side you do your own dish put anything in there add ya Salad to it.“

“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!“

“Love this place food is delicious and very nice people“

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

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

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

“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.“

“Running into Majano’s Coffee at my son’s school event felt like a little gift from the universe. His lavender latte is hands-down the best I’ve had—smooth, fragrant, and calming in all the right ways.

I didn’t expect him to remember me (I’m usually the one dashing in between meetings), but he did. That small kindness made my day. Now that my mornings are freer, I look forward to making Majano’s a more regular stop after school drop-off.

Great coffee, kind energy, and a mobile setup that makes the ordinary feel special.“

“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.“

“If you want legit good cold brew & almond croissant, this is THE place. Their sweet cold brew has the perfect amount sweetness and excludes the heaviness of a latte. The croissant is full of moist cinammon flavor and the layers are buttery + not too flaky.
Overall also realized the shop is not just friendly in general but also super dog friendly as well so one can get the chance to see neighborhood doggos :3 there aren't a lot of seats (4 i think?) but this place is definitely worth the drinks/pasteries even for to-go.“

“Intended to pay a visit to their West Adams location, but apparently the listing was kinda misleading as it's not open yet. Having 2 existing locations in Ktown, the one at Pearl apartment was just awesome and I couldn't agree more when plenty other reviews called it as productive space. Yeah, just perfect when you tried to find a place with plenty of power outlets, decent wifi, and many seats. There's also retail parking space next door, and they gave 90minutes validation.

Plenty of pastries were served on the showcase and I was so glad hearing the barista offered if I wanted my Ricotta cake being reheated. Served warm, the fluffy and moist cake was so comforting and just YUM!

The Caramel Latte was decent enough, not overly sweet and the coffee was pretty good. Wouldn't call it my most favorite around the area, but offering such a cozy space would make me having reasons to come back.“
