49 Best Coffee Shops in Los Angeles

“Delicious!!! Great service I have to go every time I’m in LA😝“

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“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!“

“HOLEY CRAP these are incredible donuts. Who knew the Hawaiian superfood taro could be so delicious? I will most definitely be coming back here for more, even their basic donut offering, the “hot single” is to die for. All donuts are fresh made to order, highly recommend eating them hot. The flavors are orgasmic.“

“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.“

“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“

“If you’re going to the Academy Museum for a visit or a screening make sure to stop at Fanny’s (located inside the museum’s first floor) for a coffee, snack or meal. They have a cafe and restaurant, both offering quality food and beverages and a full bar. The restaurant has comfortable seating options and the cafe offers outdoor seating. The service is friendly and attentive. You’ll definitely have a great time and a good meal!“

“Guerrilla Cafecito is a great breakfast burrito joint & coffee house from the team behind Guerrilla Taco. The GTLA (steak & papas) breakfast burrito is the best in the city. Tortillas from Mejorado, so you already know. My only complaint… a little stingy on the salsa. But it’s 2024, so bidenomics and whatnot. I get it. But don’t let that stop you. The burritos here are out of this world.“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“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.“

“This is a tiny counter with serious espresso. The cappuccino art is consistently pretty, but I stay for the cheddar scallion biscuit—flaky with a soft interior. There’s a shaded sidewalk bench that’s prime for people-watching on Glendale Blvd. They remember regulars’ orders, which feels old-school. Great pit stop before hiking up to the reservoir loop“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“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.“

“Laveta is a super cute minimalistic cafe located close to echo park lake in Los Angeles. They have their own parking lot, which already is an A+. But since it is a small lot, there is street parking all around. They have really cool inside seating as well as outdoor seating.

They offer coffee, matcha and teas. But let’s not ignore the food they offer, which I highly recommend you try out! I’ve heard the burger is delicious but haven’t tried it because I’m obsessed with their Avacado toast! It’s literally the best Avacado I’ve had! Their coffee is good as well. I’ve had their iced vanilla latte, which you can’t go wrong with. I also enjoyed one of their signature coffee, the laveta.

Check it out!“

“The workers are really nice, but this place is so overpriced and they charge for everything. If you get a bagel with cream cheese, they barely add any cream cheese and they charge you for extra. The coffee is small and it's at least $6. The bread is very good.“

“Best Sourdough Bread!!!! Freshly baked bread“

“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.“

“We had minced pork on rice, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, basil eggplant, pork belly bun, shaved ice and dou hua.
Overall, the food is pretty good. With some fine tunes, it can be closer to the yummy level of food in Taiwan, like some red beans in dessert are still hard, Dou Hua is too dry and needs some liquid or shaved ice to go with it, traditional shaved ice is too sweet though I like it much better than Korean style shaved ice, and brown rice is too hard. Service is good. Staff is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. Order at the counter, self service for water, extra bowls and utensils.
We live in the west side, and we will come back to try other stuff on the menu.“

“Definitely go for the coffee. Delicious speciality lattes, albeit much smaller than you would expect.

Ordered food on here on a few occasions and its ridiculously overpriced. Remembered getting grits and a coffee and it was the most underwhelming $30 I’ve ever spent. Chicken sandwich is slightly better though if you want to drop $18 on a little sandwich.“

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

“It’s a nice spot to hangout. My friends and I came here after a hike and we all got drinks. It was decent but we stayed because of the patio and played some games. Friendly staff & very clean. Parking was hard to find on a Saturday morning though“

“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.“

“Beautiful space, friendly service, and the best cold brew in the city. I took my camera here yesterday. The light is so nice, there’s usually always a table. The baristas remembered my order! Parking can be hard but it’s worth it. My new spot!“

“Nice folk. Refills on coffee! What?!!“

“I ate a Lechon sandwich. Took a while to prepare but it was tasty“

“This was our 1st time eating here as it was close to the concert venue we were going to. The service was fabulous, the food was pronominal. The Chef should be praised and the Food Server as well. Both made the experience the best dinner we had had in a long time! We will be back!“

“This small café on York Boulevard blew me away with its inventive drinks—especially the citrusy Kumquat Sour and a smooth Hojicha Latte. The minimalist interior feels like a Zen hideaway, and the patio is perfect on sunny mornings. They rotate beans often, so every visit has something new to try. I also grabbed a bag of their house-roasted beans to brew at home. Definitely a local gem for serious coffee lovers“

“I am excited to share the heavenly news that Doubting Thomas has been fully endorsed by the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ, King of Wings! Congrats Chef Naomi!“

“Best matcha in LA. They do one thing and one thing incredibly well… MATCHA. The drinks, soft serve are top notch. I wish they had more locations but always worth the trip to buy matcha to take home or a drink to enjoy while walking little tokyo“

“I’ve been here a few times now and have always found it lovely! Just had their River Market chicken salad sandwich today and it was delicious. They’re so friendly and accommodating and I appreciate the nice quiet atmosphere for conversation with a friend or enjoying a book.“

“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.“

“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)“

“I wouldn’t say this is a disappointment like others. I also went when the line wasn’t long and we got one strawberry matcha and one einspanner and the einspanner was better in my opinion. If you’ve had about time it was similar, but smaller as well. I approve and it’s not bad. Nothing to gag about but it’s pretty good and it’s a lighter einspanner compared to other ppl“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“What a wonderful experience! From the friendly staff greeting my party of 5 upon arrival, the amazing food, the jammin’ playlist this was most definitely a top tier experience while visiting LA! We will definitely be returning to HillTop🫶🏽“

“Finally I got to try this place and yes it’s EVERYTHING I expected and more . We loved it all and will be coming back real soon……… parking is an act of God but the Gods must have been looking out for us and we got parking right in front ♥️“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“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.“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“best place for breakfast“

“Coffee Tomo is a cozy and stylish café that truly stands out, especially if you’re a fan of high-quality coffee and unique snacks. I visited their Koreatown Los Angeles location and was impressed right away by the warm ambiance and minimalist decor—it’s a great spot for meeting friends, studying, or just relaxing with a good cup of coffee“

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

“Love Roji Bakery! Great, friendly service and the fruit sandos are the best! This was one of my favorite things about my LA trip!❤️❤️❤️“

“Danny & Andrew are just the VERY BEST! SKID ROW COFFEE IS THE VERY BEST! Yea! SKID ROW COFFEE! MATCHA GREEN TEA, SALAD! CO CO NUT ARE THE VERY BEST! I love the MATCHA GREEN TEA! SALAD & CO CO NUT WATER THE MOST! However! All of the food at the COMMUNITY BLESSING was just DELICIOUS! SO GOOD! Everyone showed out! Everyone showed up! Everyone SHOWED their LOVE for SKID ROW COFFEE!“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“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!“

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

“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.“
