50 Best Coffee Shops near Highland Park

“bougie atmosphere, very spacious. Tall ceilings, expansive floorplan. The drinks were high quality, but pricier than other places. Lovely biscuit served with drinks. Very interesting specialty drink using citrus juice with espresso. Strangely the ice was very nice, hard to believe. And the presentation was very impressive. Worth stopping by if you're in highland Park.“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

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

“One of my favorite coffee spots in LA. They have great tasting espresso that really comes through in their latte. The shop is cute, stocked with knick-knacks and treats, and the baristas are friendly. I hardly ever have an issue finding convenient parking.“

“Excellent baguettes. We tried the full-size omelette sandwich - a generously portioned, perfectly prepared soft French omelette in a crusty baguette. Superb. Almond and chocolate croissants were also very good.

It's counter service, right on the sidewalk of busy Melrose Ave. No seating other than a bench and a couple of stools to use while you wait for your freshly prepared order.

Parking can be a challenge. We snagged a street spot on Harvard. There's a park nearby with benches and shade if you want somewhere to eat your treats.“

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

“Always a flawless experience here; the service, food and coffee never disappoint. I tried the breakfast burrito with Beyond sausage this time, and it was incredible. Super flavorful, perfectly filling, and left me feeling energized instead of weighed down. I love seeing high-quality plant-based options on the menu!“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“Great tasting cappuccino and friendly service. These are barristers using professional grade machines. No electronic gizmo, button pushing faux espresso machines here. Btw we stopped here after stuffing our faces with delish Thai food just a half block away. So we got the energy we needed to move on.“

“Great lattes, coffee and tea selection“

“Great coffee, great service. A uniquely shaped, cosy two storey cafe. A sitting area on the second floor. There are also a couple of benches outside at the side of the cafe.

Had their signature coffee. Highly recommend.

Street parking.“

“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.“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“The best hot chocolate I’ve ever had in my life! It tasted like I was drinking a beautifully rich, comforting chocolate. Sweet enough but not so sweet. Real chocolate. My God I didn’t know this way of drinking hot chocolate existed!“

“I genuinely love this place the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the fresh juices they serve. Everything tastes authentic, from the food to the drinks, and you can tell they really care about quality.

It’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to relax. Highly recommend checking it out if you appreciate great flavors and a welcoming vibe.“

“I tried something different and tried Hukuju and literally love at first sip. I love that they didn’t pre-sweeten the Matcha. Honestly, I think they really tried to serve matcha as authentically and best possible. The nutty, velvety, cocoa notes were spot on. And it was just so lovely yapping for a couple hours while sipping this drink. And surprisingly, I enjoyed it even more the cooler it got. Warm and room temp with a splash of honey is the way to go.

I also tried their Uji Homare and it was a much more familiar flavor profile to what I was used to but without bitter aftertaste. Just really good flavor

The taste and vibes were immaculate. The staff were kind and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Matcha talking with the manager especially about their cast iron low boiler.

Unfortunately, the smallest bag of Hukuju was 100mg and I wasn’t ready to drop $70 like that. But luckily they have a similar product in a smaller tin that I was more than happy to take home with me“

“I've been wanting to visit Pam's Coffy for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance.

At first glance, the whole place feels very Tarantino. Colorful, vintage, obscure movie posters, CRT TVs playing VHSs, and about 50 empty cereal boxes.

The menu leans into that cereal sugary sweetness. We got the banana pudding latte and the captain crunch latte. They were delicious, but definitely more like desserts. On the way out, though, I grabbed a drip coffee, which they keep ready in old-fashioned diner style Bunn carafes, another fitting touch.

The pastry was pretty good, and you can also get bowls of Captain Crunch which is super fun.

If you're a Tarantino fan, or even if you're not and you like dessert-y coffee, er, Coffy - give this place a shot. You'll have a good time.“

“This restaurant is amazing and I cannot wait to come back. Perfect spot for dates and seeing friends while enjoying incredible izakaya cuisine. Our server, Allison, was very insightful about the menu and made sure our experience was lovely & very delicious.“

“This was the first time my wife and I had been to this coffee shop. I loved the atmosphere, very quiet and chill. The iced latte was spot on. My wife and I shared an avocado toast which was fantastic, never thought to put cucumber on the toast with a strawberry but it paired well. The toast did take 30 minutes to get to us. I had to go to the to the register and ask about it. I was told that the cook never received the order due to there being no paper in their machine. It happens so no biggie. My only advice would be maybe to have offered a free coffee or some compensation for waiting so long. Overall though, this place was fantastic and I would return!“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“It's a nice quiet atmosphere the workers are very nice and polite very friendly the pistachio coffee is bomb my daughter gets the machi machi idk what it's called but she is very tough to please when it comes to her coffee but she loves this spot she loves loves it every time she's in my area she'll wanna stops here to get her coffee love you Monique 💋“

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

“Excellent cappuccino with rich, smooth flavor and perfectly balanced foam. The cozy atmosphere and fresh pastry selection make this little coffee shop an absolute gem. Everything tasted fresh, warm, and made with care. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“I can't say enough nice things about Belles. The staff is great and the bagels are the bomb! I love their new full service restaurant as I used to order from them through door dash or postmates during covid. Super friendly and wonderful space!! Go!“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“Food:
Please please please get the beuongo bbang (붕어빵/taiyaki). As a korean american Ive been craving the pastry that my halmoni used to get me back in Korea and this is the most authentic and delicious one that beats the one in Korea! I was so startled by the taste that I urged my parents to try and they agreed that the batter is really well made. The drinks were great too but definitely on the sweeter side (try the zodiac drinks, thought it was a cute way to try introduce new drink combos).

Parking and store:
Parking lot is a decent size for it being in ktown. The store is small inside but the atmosphere is so cozy and cute.

Service:
Im pretty sure the man who was taking my owner was also the owner but he was super friendly. Would go out of his way to make sure customers can find the bathroom and would check in with each of his customers.“

“Very expensive for what you're getting. At least the food was mostly good and the service was good.

Ordered two 16oz lattes with an extra espresso shot in each, one chocolate concha, and two breakfast bagels. After tip the total was $50 making it $25 per person.

The cinnamon brown sugar and cajeta lattes were very good. The chocolate concha, especially when dipped in a hot latte, was delicious. The breakfast bagel was okay, but a little too salty for my taste.

Probably won't be back again just because of the price. It's a shame because the coffee and concha were good.“

“Loved the vibe the moment I walked in. They have a ton of drink options to choose from. We tried the blueberry matcha and the strawberry matcha, and both were delicious. Based on those, I’m sure the rest of the menu is just as good. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow? Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow.

“Here's why I like this place so much: great coffee, easy parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and when the guy at the register points out a book I'm reading and offers a rec for a Korean author I've never heard of? I'm all in.“

“First time trying and will say it was delicious. I got the Iced Spiced Mocha 🔥 .. doesn't come sweetened so just an FYI I know some people like sweet drinks I loved it😋. Actually got to speak with the owner for a bit. It's a Salvadorian family owned & operated business and they own their own coffee fields in El Salvador. Glad I got to try them out definitely going back“

“Came here 5/7 days for breakfast on my trip to LA... I could hardly pull myself away from their chilaquiles!! Wow. Both with their signature Oaxacan mole and their homemade red and green salsas, truly unbelievable. AND their service was always hospitable and sincere!!“

“BEST CATERING. LOVE this Place!

I cannot express how thankful I am to know I can count on Float Hollywood! I was stressed about Easter, and I called Joyce, the owner and asked if she can do last minute catering. She was quick to response, attentive and planned my event and prepared an amazing cheese board, Lemonade in a gorgeous crystal dispenser and the most amazing sandwiches! The catering arrived on time, carefully displayed on white ceramic trays/ wood platters. I have hired Float for all my corporate special events
And my family celebrations. Float is amazing! No leftovers! Everyone loved everything. Thank you Float!“

“Super glad I found a new exciting spot with GREAT coffee. My tastebuds were very happy with my iced sugarfree vanilla latte and banana cold foam! The coffee was bold and smooth and they did not over power the coffee with sugar! The staff was so friendly and sweet! I’ll be back again and again 🤍🤍🤍“

“I enjoy a specialty coffee shops.. and this one hits the spot just like their coffee and pastries...
Was on business travels and enjoyed walking 2 blocks over to this place for great espresso.. great service with gentle kindness (we need more of this in this current world)... and a great banana loaf perfectly moist and size and well balanced sweetness. I came three times in three days. Thank you Lena.

Nice seating outside for people watching and ample room for morning or afternoon breaks...inside seating aswell.. cozy and comfortable.

Thank you. I shall be back next time im here on business again. Soon.“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“Highlight Coffee Shop in Glendale, CA is a true gem for coffee lovers. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a cozy coffee experience.“

“Very good cafe, horchata latte was awesome and so was the izal smoothie! They ran out of an item and very kindly substituted it for us. Hello kitty pancakes were very light and airy but still had a crunch on the outside. Exceded my expectations 👍🏼“

“The Vienna matcha was so good, the sweet cream on top was magical.

Be careful parking in the parking lot. The security guard who is running the parking lot is not professional and will let people block your car in instead of directing them to park somewhere else. We had to wait 15 min for a woman to come out of the coffee shop to move her car. We found that that the security guard let her block us in as we were trying to move. People in LA can be very rude and extremely selfish and they will make it seem like you are in the wrong, when you aren’t. You have to tell the security guard to not let other cars block you in if you come here and to do is job correctly. You’ll see when you come here.“

“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.“

“i think about picnic’s strawberry matcha everyday… i recently moved from california to nyc and this is still the best strawberry matcha i’ve ever had. i used to get in every week in LA and cannot wait to have it again whenever i visit“

“I was in LA for a conference and Jalsah Yemeni Coffee was on the same block I was staying. The owners were welcoming and the space was clean and quiet.

I ordered the pistachio latte and it was amazing. I absolutely downed it and wished I'd bought two. I went every day I was in LA, I tried a few different lattes and a cake slice. I have zero regrets.“

“This place is fantastic! Amazing atmosphere and big outdoor seating area. The donuts are huge fluffy, not too sweet just absolutely delicious. My personal favorites are the strawberry milk cream donut and the Einspanner Latte. Highly recommend stoping by this cute shop.“

“I loved both coffees I've had. The cold brew had very pleasant bitter-to-sweet transition. The jamon and manchego on a baguette was well seasoned and balanced by red onion and mayo. The breakfast burrito with mushrooms was also tasty. I will go back if I'm in the area again.“

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

“This is a special gem. Found it randomly and was surprised at how great the staff was and how delicious their coffee tastes. I got a breakfast burrito with asada and it was delicious. They have seating area all over and it's a great place to hang out while enjoying your coffee and food.“

“Amazing syphon brew coffee, definitely worthy to try“
