38 Best Coffee Roasters in Los Angeles

“Can’t wait to come back for a positive review after my first be bright pour-over as I think I had the best bean in North America and haven’t had a good quality of Geisha for long time.
I dropped by for a cold brew and grabbed a bag of “unique & surprising” to go and the barista shared a small cup of its cold brew for me to taste. I am glad i have tried because it was really surprised by its freshness and flavor and almost wanted to have another large cup of coffee if it’s not my first drink at that day of arrival after a 5 hr flight without a full meal😿
I followed the brew guide on the website but have cut half of the size and still get the same profile as I have had for cold brew.
I will definitely come back for other coffee drinks next time🙌
Nice staff with the chill atmosphere and a kids area provided which is rarely seen“

“The coffee is always fresh. They roast their own coffee beans. I like the fact they have light, medium and dark roast. Dark is my go to. It has less caffeine. They are also dairy free. I tried Oat milk in my coffee, now I buy Oatmilk for my coffee at home.“

“Oh HEY! -have you ever been blessed by St Matthew of Silverlake?! His glowing attitude is no match for his glowing skin and yet, if you do do yourself the favor of walking past the cliches of hipsterville like (can’t complain about it really) La colombe, you’d actually find a gem of a spot with this gem of a man (whose glowing attributes really won’t stop competing). And it’s this cafe. Fast with employees who care and a bright chill atmosphere that’s just right to send out all those “apology for last night, I was drunk” texts or “shoot your shot” on hinge (even tho you refuse to pay for it) messages cause the caffeine has kicked in, it’s strong, yummy, well served, and the color scheme is adorable here.
I say you switch it up and go here. I know the song of summer is “espresso” but this place has changed my identity to “Macha Lemonade” and made my heart reliant upon seeing Matthews great haircut at least 3 times a week. GO! It’s the ideal and void of cliches! V cute for a meet up or a date (ahem, men on Hinge)“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“Our morning ritual used to involve bludgeoning ourselves into a semblance of consciousness with the heavy-hand of a generic dark roast. It was an effective if inelegant solution to parenthood. Aqaurela's beans provide a different experience. We are by no means coffee experts, but my wife and I were surprised by the nuances in smell and taste when we tried their Deus Me Livre for our morning espresso. It's a lighter feel; almost refreshing. The morning cup feels a bit indulgent, yet not so rich as to make your mouth feel overwhelmed. We could see this pairing very well as an after-dinner treat with any manner of desserts. The best part is that this is simply a fantastic company to work with. Quick, fast delivery. Prompt follow-up to make sure we were completely satisfied. And all questions answered - when we noted that we typically prefer darker roasts, one of the owners explained that their goal was to make a medium-roast whose flavors would still hold up to a coordination with cream and sugar. It's a throwback to days where customer service and the personal touch were still important. This is a small business whose goal of promoting independent farmers is admirable and worthy of our support. Thank you!“

“I enjoy CC for its smoothness. mostly I just get the regular drip coffee. yesterday like every visit the staff is friendly and customers are mostly local nice and polite. now I live in Maryland so I order CC online. still tasty but sitting at the marble counter makes it special“

“Had a coffee hangout with my friend whose daily coffee spot is Cognoscenti. I wasn’t having high expectations to be honest. So I ordered for a cappuccino and boy, I was pleasantly surprised. 💯 recommended. Heard their coffee too is really good. So if you are in the neighborhood, stop by!“

“Apple Maps suggested it. Good coffee. No selection on non-sweet pastries. Disappointed on that. But still good coffee. I-5 n broadway location.“

“These guys are fast, they make the best coffee in LA. Truly my favorite iced lattes in town. I am closer to other coffee shops but I choose to come here because it’s perfects the coffee makes me happy ☕️ everyone here is lovely, great vibe, a/c and lovely. We always find parking nearby too!“

“Photographer #MarkusCuff and I bumped in, and they happened to be serving a seriously home made Mexican plate. He loved it, if we #bumpedinto something like this… you know, #ITH in the hood… Aww dear @Markus Cuff, rest in beauty… Never thought I’d be singing to you, #reallysinging… “let your soul & spirit fly into the mystic.” Wow.“

“Beautiful, but cashless..“

“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!“

“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.“

“Safe and friendly amazing coffee. Give yourself a time out and go get an amazing coffee.“

“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.“

“amazing cool fun and exciting experience“

“All time classic fav! I was in the neighborhood, and wanted a coffee buzz. The employees were the absolute kindest folks, the coffee had great depth & flavor, and I liked that the place is tucked away around a corner. Definitely stop by for a grab n go coffee, or to re-up your supply of freshly roasted coffee beans!“

“Come for the excellent coffee - stay for the super chill vibes.“

“Tucked away inside Hill Street Bar & Restaurant, this little hidden coffee spot is one of the best-kept secrets in DTLA. The vibe is quiet and cozy, and the coffee is easily some of the best in the city. Service was excellent—friendly, quick, and welcoming.

The menu is packed with great options, including some unique specialty drinks you won’t find everywhere, like the Café de Olla latte, brown sugar latte, and honey almond latte. Don’t miss the iced hojita—it’s a standout—and the breakfast burritos are just as incredible.

Overall, this place is a true gem. If you’re passing through downtown, definitely stop by—you’ll be glad you did.“

“The staff are so nice here! It's right on the bike path and I love to ride there.

During the week, the atmosphere is so nice and cozy. It's a shared business space, which can make for some interesting people watching.

I wish they were open a little later during the summer because they are always closing just when I'm craving that last coffee of the day.

I avoid it on the weekends because the line is usually out the door and the crowd is usually pretty unwelcoming, especially if you try to ride there.“

“Coffee is a simple process on the surface. Endorffiene elegantly crafts each cup with love.“

“Have subscribed to their monthly 3-bag coffee box for about two years now, always been happy with the roasts/beans. Also like stopping in the store from time to time to snag a special roast or when we run out. The Nighthawk Blend is an amazing dark roast and we've also been enjoying the lighter roasts too. The roast consistency from bag to bag is also quite strong, means minimal fiddling with grind settings to get good pour-over going each time we get a new batch. Strongly recommend!“

“Bryan from Mobar is freaking amazing and provides amazing customer service. We appreciate all his service every Pick Me Up Wednesday at AVA Hollywood. The best barista out there!!!! Keep it up!!!!“

“Nespresso is located inside Bloomingdale on the 3rd floor.
I have been coming here to purchase coffee pods for about 6 months now.
Whenever I am short on the pods, I come to this location.
The staff is great 👍
They always offer me a cup of coffee while waiting in line.
I love the location.
Century City Mall 💫💫💫💫💫“

“What a gem of a coffee shop in our little neighborhood. Amazing staff. Fantastic drinks. The only reason I’m docking a star is because it’s hot as heck in here. Give these fine folks some good clean A/C. Even the fridge is fighting for its life. I promise it will still be the hottest corner on Inglewood even if it’s cool on the inside ???“

“Such a cool place! I got an iced oat milk latte with maple (they don’t have honey, but I had no idea maple was so delicious in coffee!). The gentleman working was very friendly and the atmosphere for the place was awesome. I also go a vegan pastry that exceeded my expectations. Will be back!“

“Wonderful selection of coffee from small roasters, primarily Scandinavian and Scandinavian style roasts. They care very much about the coffee and are very serious about their craft.“

“Nice place for brakefast and coffee“

“I hear some British tourists talking to the hotel manager "this is the best taco place in LA."As the proud owner of a gut selectively fed with the best things in life, I ask what might that place be. Turns out, it's Tees cafe.I google the place. It doesnt even have tacos on its online menu. I ask the guy, are you sure this is the place. He says yes. They make great birria tacos.I decide to have a combined lunch and breakfast there the next day.God finds my plan too boring and I lose my credit cards the next day. I only find about it while trying to pay for my food, which thankfully I have to do before eating.I cancel my order with a light stomach and q heavy heart and join my friend sitting outside. We are both very respectful of individualism so I dont ask for help and he gracefully doesn't offer any as he silently inhales three tacos.A moment later I feel a tap on my shoulder. It's an almost comically stereotypical overweight Mexican daddy smiling with two tacos on a plate. They are free and they are for me.In retrospect, this was the only way for this mom and dad cafe to surpass my sky.high expectations. With delicious authentic tacos and hospitality I have no problem calling this the best taco place in downtown LA.Just don't make it too famous.“

“Excellent bagels sold here!“

“La Colombe has established itself as a premium coffee roaster, setting benchmarks for taste, service, and coffee innovation in the United States.
This statement from company profile.
When you visit this branch baristas so friendly coffee shop worth going.“

“A cafeteria with a very interesting concept, the variety of coffees and products for cafeteria at home are good, the quality of the coffee is very good as well as its preparations and its equipment, as well as a pleasant atmosphere, highly recommended.

Parking: Parking next to the premises“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in LA, I’ve been visiting for over 2years and get a Americano almost every day! All the barista, especially Tania are the best people I have met here! Don’t understand why some people think they are rude, maybe check yourself first next time! Lots of love for this place ❤️❤️❤️“

“A solid coffee shop with lots of goodies and the interior design was top notch.

I just ordered a matcha latte with whole milk and it was pretty good. Solid taste and temperature with a good amount of sweetness for the honey.

I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items or even stop by to get some work done at their solid patio and lounge area.“

“Caffe Luxxe is totally 'not a stranger' for me as I used to stay less than 10-minute walk away from their Brentwood outlet.

I probably picked not the most right timing this last visit, as it's super busy at Sunday noon with long line. The baristas were super helpful though to try speed things up. Super excited that they had their limited-time Vanilla cold brew with lavender cream top. I usually always went for either their Shakerato or Caramello, but I would say their cold brew was delightful being super smooth with clean after taste. That lavender foam on top would surely bring me back as it's not heavily creamy like atypical cream toppings. It was super light and I was sold to the dairy-free option, for which mine was almond!

As for the light bite to accompany my coffee, I tried their hazelnut cake with almond butter. Quite pricey being at $6.5 for the petite size, but tasted pretty decent despite not as 'hazelnut-y' as I expected.“

“Good service Nice place It’s a good place to enjoy the coffee“

“Cool place. Has a breakfast burrito that was delicious, and some peach blend iced tea. Really chill vibe. Cool outdoor patio out back.“
