50 Best Coffee Shops near Lake Balboa

“I used to go to the OG location in North Hollywood so I was thrilled when this location opened up. If you love tea, their selection is awesome and they’ll do their own blends that are super refreshing. Their pastry selection is on point and I love that they’ll make breakfast sandwiches. It’s a bummer there isn’t much space to stick around and enjoy your beverage while you work or something, so don’t expect a big space. But it’s still delightful and I’m so glad there’s a good coffee shop in the area that isn’t a giant corporation.“

“Super friendly, very clean place, great atmosphere, plus there boba is Yummy 😋“

“The employees at thus location are so amazing. I personally consider them family to me at this point. I love these guys and gals. Love , T Aka Dopio over ice in a venti cup with a nitro lid ☕️“

“I was very skeptical first. I decided to give it a shot as a substitution for alcohol. And I gotta say, it blew my mind. Erica shared tons of information about Kava and the effects. After drinking the recommended drinks, she was NOT wrong! It’s delicious and highly recommend anyone to try it! Definitely see myself coming back!“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic!

The coffee is amazing (specialty coffee)
I tried a lot in Los Angeles and this is the best
The shop is small and it is crowded in the morning.“

Overall a good experience.“

“Our new breakfast spot! This place is a vibe in decor/music and is dog friendly. They have a small menu of sandwiches, omelets, crepes and my favorite, their parfait. Coffees are made to perfection with many flavors offered. Serving sizes are reasonable and everything is delicious and presented beautifully, even artfully. Staff are mellow and kind and create a welcoming vibe. 10/10“

“I came in a bit confused as it was my first time ordering for Alfred’s, Felipe just so happened to be at the front when he greeted me and knew I was very confused. I asked him if he had any recommendations and he recommended me the Lavender Matcha which did not disappoint at all, I also got the bagel he recommended me which I forgot what it had but bacon and avocado is a good mix that I doubted for a little bit. Shoutout to Felipe and his hospitality!“

“Black Heart Coffee is a hidden gem in Lake Balboa with some of the best coffee around! Their menu features healthy, fresh ingredients, and their breakfast and lunch options are top-notch. The cozy, cute interior adds to the overall vibe, making it perfect for either dine-in or takeout. I often meet friends and clients here for coffee or lunch, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I love the portobello sandwich for lunch and avocado toast for breakfast. There are so many menu items I have yet to try. The prices are great, and the staff is super friendly. Plus, they offer additional parking in the back or on nearby residential streets, making it convenient for any visit. Highly recommend“

Parking: They have a parking lot shared with other business but was easy to find parking!!“

“I love Yonder’s hot and cold beverages! Their pastries are delicious!“

“This coffee was refreshing My new spot in The Valley“

“Came here - it's great cafe and I see what the hype is about/why ppl rated it highly! It's a community cafe that feels like a nice purposeful place inside - the first time you visit, they'll let you have a coffee/drink on the house and then after that, you pay what you feel your drink and bill should be. They offer additional seasonal activities like art classes, creative things to do in this space - would def love to support it more and the coffee is great here! I got their seasonal/monthly latte: when harry met salty. Very good coffee! Hope this place sticks around and ppl support it! Can't wait to come back for another coffee or tea drink! If you go during prime time, there's a long line.“

“Simply the best!“

“Amazing restaurant in the heart of West Hollywood. Fantastic food and cocktails. Great happy hour vibes. I love the burger and fried chicken sandwich. Brendon is the man! Super helpful and accommodating. Definitely check this out next time you’re in Los “

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“A very nice place with very tasty desserts, I tried the chocolate brownie with coconut flakes and I really liked it, it was not cloyingly sweet, which is very important for me. Very friendly and helpful staff, they helped me with my choice)) I will definitely come back here again!)“

“excelente servicio y atención al cliente!“

“It's the first time today I visit this coffee shop. I think it's wonderful and not at all overpriced. Staff was excellent as well. Wifi is fast and reliable. Music volume is at a good level. Would love to keep coming here for the times I wanna drink some good coffee and read a book :) Maybe the only thing I wish was better was parking (not their fault) but finding street parking should be ok. Totally recommend Enigma!“

“The perfect place to catch up with friends and have a coffee. Well located to enjoy a cup before heading to one of the two gym across the street. Great addition to your morning routine if you would like to support small business versus Amazon's Whole Foods.“

“Great coffee and great service.“

“Ooh, what a lively place. It is a packed place even on a late Thursday morning, but the food is quite good.

I had the avocado toast with two poached eggs and it was tasty. I added a sprinkle of pepper and it was set to go. Definitely interested in trying the rest of their menu.

Cold brew was also nice although not too memorable.“

“Stopped here on the way to the airport and I was not disappointed! I had a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion omelette (not on the menu exactly) with country potatoes and it was delicious! The coffee was good, the food came fast and got and the server was great. I'll be eating here again when I'm back in town. But they are cash only, luckily I had some on hand . . .“

“It was an unfamiliar European-style (Eastern European?) meal. The taste was better than expected. You may have different preferences for some foods, but overall, it was a dish you could enjoy without burden. This is a restaurant that women will really enjoy.“

“I grew up going to hearts every week dad as a kid and today now that my dad is and I am grown the place looks the same and is perfect just like my childhood memories!“

“Virginia, Tiago, and Maggie(?) are awesome and def make the best espresso drinks in NoHo. They are probably the most pleasant baristas I’ve met in LA

Recommend the cortado. The matcha latte is also popular. As for the space, it’s very open and my fav place to get work done or knock out a couple hours of studying“

“I had a plain latte and it was amazing. You know the coffee is good when you don't need syrups to jazz it up. Hubby is a sweet coffee person and had a seasonal ice-blended drink that he loved. They have a bunch of muffins, cookies, and other baked goods. They even have a few packaged gluten-free and gluten cookies. I had a gluten-free cinnamon one warmed up and it was yummy! Plus the vibe is great!“

“We both had the Healthy Start breakfast (one with salmon, the other with turkey bacon) + a coffee cake (not too sweet, the way we like it) + 2 cups of drip coffee (Peruvian). It was a delicious way to start the day- light, fresh, healthy, and the fruit cup with persimmons was a wonderful surprise! And, Farm Cup Coffee is within walking distance to Courtyard Marriott! Glad we tried this place...you should, too.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options, probably no vegan. But check out the menu online.“

“One of the most light-filled coffee shops in the Valley with the happiest team of baristas I have ever encountered. The range of seating arrangements makes this my favorite place to get work done when I want to take a break from working from home. My go-to drinks are the hot chocolate and the red velvet lattes! 100/10, highly recommend 😊“

“Best golden Boba we have found! So much so, always a double serving. You never have to wait long for your drink, the staff are always pleasant, the drink is always just right. My favorite mix is pineapple and mango black tea, slight sugar are regular ice level.“
