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“

“I've been there with my sister a couple months ago. We had Filipino iced coffee, matcha affogato and matcha cookies. We still can't forget the flavor of the drinks. Filipino iced coffee is our core memory of our trip to USA. The best coffee we've ever tasted.“

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

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Love this place and all the seating options. I only have 1 complaint which is the menu wording - “+ your choice of milk!” makes people assume alt milk is free when it’s 50c extra. We already know we have choice of milk!! just include it in the price or take it off the menu lol“

“Daily use of their matchas!“

“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.“

“Grade A+ (96): Small little kitchen, don't know how much food can come out of it!! They have a small little sitting area, but we most often do it as take out. The Jambon Beurre (Ham and Butter) are my favorite, the Baguette 🥖 is awesome and they put a hefty amount of butter and French Ham very thinking sliced. The Ham & Cheese and the Chocolate Croissants are very good but you have to go early, by 12:30 they were sold out! The guys are very friendly, prices are a bit on the high side but what can you do, it's unique.“

“Pretty good! The dan dan noodle tasted great. The wonton soup was okay and the beef roll was a little lacking on meat. The Taiwanese sausage seemed a bit small for $7 but was pretty good.

Overall very reasonable prices and the food is pretty decent.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“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.“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“I LOVE this place! They have happy hour from 3pm-6pm on the weekdays, but the best part is Joy the amazing Barista! She is very nice and will always make your day! I get so much school work done here! 1000 stars!“

“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.“

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

“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 💋“

“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!“

“I got lunch delivered from them for the first time today and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to try the brisket, but they were out so I ended up with the steak sandwich and they were really apologetic and nice about it and even tossed in some extra freebies in my bag. I can’t speak to the atmosphere since I was not there, but the food was so good. I will definitely be visiting in person soon.“

“This place was hands down, the best breakfast spot you could ever choose. We tried a variety of options: avocado toast, Nutella & banana croissant, banana and pb toast, and a bagel sandwich. Every single thing was 10/10. The coffee was somehow EVEN better. Best coffee I have ever had!!! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I wasn't having the best day when I walked into Boba Sound in Koreatown. I was frustrated, irritated, and honestly just not in a great mood. The moment I walked in, however, I was welcomed by Kelly, whose smile was as bright as a cloudless morning sun.

Kelly was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. I ended up trying the honeydew smoothie with lychee jelly, and it was absolutely delicious—I highly recommend that combination.

What made this visit special wasn't just the drink. Within a couple of minutes of interacting with Kelly, my entire attitude and outlook had changed. Her kindness, charisma, and genuine thoughtfulness made me feel seen and appreciated. She seemed to sense I wasn't having the best day and went out of her way to make the experience better. She even gave me the little bit of smoothie that was left in the blender, which was such a simple but thoughtful gesture.

Great customer service can completely change someone's day, and that's exactly what happened here. I'll definitely be coming back—not just for the amazing smoothies, but for the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere.

If I'm anywhere near the area, Boba Sound will be one of my stops. Kelly deserves recognition for the exceptional experience she provided. Five stars isn't enough—I would gladly give 20 stars if that were an option.“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“From the first interaction with staff till the very last, loved every part of my visit. They were very busy that day but the guy was so sweet and attentive. He was the only one serving the tables but remained super kind. I ordered the red chilaquiles with carnitas and asked for the spicy salsa to pour on top and wow - amazing flavor. Truly recommend these chilaquiles. I want to go back!“

“The iced pistachio latte was SO good! The ratio of espresso, milk, and pistachio was right on the dot. It wasn’t overly sweet or nutty. They’re aesthetically very cute too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Damo’s Strawberry Matcha is absolutely amazing—beautifully presented, delicious, and totally worth the hype! 🍓🍵 If you’re in LA, it’s a must-try. Bonus points for having free parking, which feels almost impossible to find in Los Angeles!“

“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!“

“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 🤍🤍🤍“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Yummy donuts everything looks delicious 😋“

“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“

“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 👍🏼“

“Their specialty coffee and matcha drinks are both fantastic, and I often pair them with one of the pastries. Everything is fresh, and the staff is always happy to warm up baked goods, which makes them even better. The shop itself is cozy and welcoming. Seating can be limited during busy hours, but that's a testament to how popular the place is. It's more of a grab-a-coffee-and-enjoy-the-vibe kind of spot rather than a place to spend hours working.“

“My favorite local coffee shop, I absolutely love my crema iced latte! The espresso was smooth and bold without being bitter, and the banana cream top took it to another level. It added the perfect amount of sweetness with a rich, creamy texture and a delicious natural banana flavor that wasn’t overpowering. Every sip was balanced and refreshing. If you’re looking for a unique twist on an iced latte, this is definitely worth trying. Can’t forget the best customer service from all staff.“
