50 Best Coffee Shops in Los Angeles

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. Coffee is pretty good. I always get drip here and it’s consistently good. Im a bit of a snob for coffee who makes aeropress every morning, so trust me when I say the drip is pretty good. Also, everyone is so nice and personable. The owner Carlos is talented in design and the unique midcentury interior inside the coffee shop brings out the zen in me for some reason. Im a local in the neighborhood and Jurassic really brightens up the corner of Midcity, so I always appreciate their presence beyond just serving great coffee. They just launched the kitchen so I have yet to try their foods but Im always cheering as a customer for their growth :).“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“This was literally my first time trying matcha, and I actually really liked it. I was told it’s usually not sweet, so I asked for extra sweetener on top of the sweet version. The flavor was a bit strong, but the added sweetness made it much more enjoyable. Would def try it again!

We went around noon on a weekday and it was packed. Parking is definitely a hassle here.“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop 💕My partner and I look forward to our weekly treat of the signature bloom latte/ matcha latte here. Yes, the butterscotch cream topping is that good~

Staff is so welcoming and our pup looks forward to coming here as well to get her own treat. This place has really picked up since we moved into the neighborhood early this year and the quality has stayed the same.

The egg sandwich with prosciutto is our go-to order (the eggs are so fluffy, the aioli – yum) and while I’ve tried the croissants, they don’t stand out like the sandwich does and that’s ok (:“

“Love this place.

Food: I personally love the Bolt Bowl. I think it’s the perfect meal.

Coffee: Solid. Fast.

Service: On this occasion, I was helped by Avery & Dax. They were professional, engaging and fun too.“

“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 ♥️“

“This cafe is wonderful...they have really good overnight oats and their iced honey lavender lattes are delicious (I know...sounds different, but seriously try it!) The owner is super friendly and the cafe has many places to sit to enjoy your coffee. Will definitely come back:)“

“This Latina woman–owned coffee shop is such a hidden gem. From the outside it might look a little rough, but step inside and you’ll be greeted with the warmest service and the most delicious food. I had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a long time, and the mazapán latte was out of this world. PERFECTLY made. The team here truly makes you feel welcome, and you can tell they pour so much love into what they do. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this spot! 🌸☕🥪 Gracias chicas!!“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“A cozy café with a Korean vibe. I had been following posts about its opening on a thread, so I felt a sense of familiarity with it. The dessert and drink menu were simple and not over-the-top, which I really liked. I was surprised to see more foreigners than Koreans, even though cafés like this usually attract a lot of Koreans. The atmosphere was lovely as well.“

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

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“They are a multi-roaster-cafe and carried at least two different local California roasters, Dune Coffee Roasters and Be Bright Coffee Roasters.

Since it was my first time visiting, I decided to go with a drink from their specialty menu. Since they were out of their espresso-esque called the Rising Flower Tonic ($7, comes with espresso, orange juice, osmanthus flower simple syrup, & tonic water) I went with a different orange-infused option.

Georgia On My Mind ($7) is made individually with espresso, oat milk, vanilla syrup, orange zest, then shaken in a cocktail shaker, and topped with a dehydrated orange slice. On the subject of the Georgia On My Mind drink having orange zest when named after the song: “Weird, it should’ve been peach. Georgia is the peach state.” - Joshua

Georgia On My Mind was initially a punch of very sweet, so much so that next time I thought I might ask for less syrup, but it very quickly grew on me and I loved it. The orange zest was the perfect amount of orange to be noticeable without overpowering, and I appreciate that they default to oat milk for this one because it was the perfect creaminess.

I cannot wait to go back and try another signature drink!! Even though it’s called Eyes Peeled, I did not spiiill.

We were easily able to find parking at a meter out front, and although there was a bit of a line when we arrived, but luckily it moved pretty quickly and the barista and cashier were very efficient with making drinks. They had the menu posted on the wall outside the door so you could start thinking of your order while waiting in line, and they had a larger menu once you get to the register.“

“Absolutely amazing to see a third space like this when its become increasingly difficult to find them nowadays. Place was packed with college students and being in such a lively place made studying a lot more enjoyable. The place almost seems too good to be true as you can set your own prices for whatever you order so long as its over a dollar; your first order is actually free! I got the vanilla oatmilk latte and was shocked at just how good it is. I wish I knew about this place sooner knowing i've been paying $7.50 for coffee that wasnt as good. Will definitely be coming back whenever I have the chance.“

“FYI they are not serving avocado toast anymore but I got ham and cheese croissant, warmed. The parking was full but I found a spot on 5th and Virgil ave. My flat white coffee was great and the fastest I ever got from a craft coffee place, it was done in 2 min even though the place was busyyy! Everyone is so hardworking and sweet, I'll come back if in the area :)“

“Of the 3 cafes I went to, this one was still open in the heavy rain.

Very cozy, warm, dry, and inviting. Umbrellas have a place and service is kind. Glad I made the short trip to get the Dalgona Latte extra sweet. Perfect for this kind of weather. 10 outta 10.“

“Everything about this place. The owner is THE SWEETEST and was dancing when we walked in and offered us some lolipops. The interior is so fun and vibrant and inviting and the boba was out of this world we actually ended up ordering more on Uber eats later. 10000/10 recommend and their signature boba.“

“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“

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

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

“I ordered an open face MCB on gluten free everything bagel with vegan cream cheese which was delicious. My husband ordered a white fish salad bagel on an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese which he enjoyed. We also ordered a generous side of pickles. The coffee was solid too. The interior is well designed and the booths offer cozy, private seating.“

“This one scape has the perfect coffee balance and such a cool vibe. The staff are super friendly and really know their stuff when it comes to coffee. The bathroom is spotless, and the interior is stylish and modern. Definitely the kind of neighborhood spot I’d want to come back to again and again.“

“It was awesome that I could say frankly speaking, Frank's coffee was awesome! The simple small spot between West Lake and Central LA made it to my long list of good coffee in town. Love how it felt homey with few seats, friendly barista, and pretty chill ambiance.

Top recommendation would be their Frank Standard, which was sweetened latte with molasses, brown sugar and cinnamon. It might sound sweet, but worry not as everything just came at the right balance. Besides, it gave extra caffeine kick featuring double shots of espresso.

One thing (prolly most important) not to miss was their 4oz chocolate chip cookie, which was UBER GOOD!! Freshly baked in store, it was so gooey that you would likely find yourself make some mess enjoying it served warm. Deliciously buttery and packed with abundant mix of dark and milk chocolate chips! Where have I been that I just found this place out?!“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“Yo, just hit up Dinosaur Coffee on Sunset and had a solid experience. Ordered a flat white, and damn, that Woodcat Coffee bean they use hits different—smooth, rich, not too bitter. The barista was chill, hooked me up quick, and the vibe in there was on point. Place is packed with freelancers tapping away on laptops, but it’s not annoyingly loud. Got a seat by the window, soaked in that Silverlake energy. The caramel brownie was a nice touch, super gooey. Only gripe? Parking’s a nightmare, but that’s Sunset for ya. Def coming back for the coffee and that laid-back, artsy feel. 10/10 for a morning pick-me-up.“

“Amazing coffee and wonderful service at this hidden gem of a coffee bar. The barista was very attentive, and the outdoor seating makes it a peaceful spot to relax with a friend or get some work done on a laptop. I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’ll definitely be back for the great vibes!“

“Their french toast was very buttery and delicious. The matcha misto was good- the matcha base itself is unsweetened but the cream top was sweet. I didn't get much depth in flavor from either and felt that the sweetness of the cream top was closer to the splenda/regular sugar side, and didn't get much cream scent.“

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

“Neighborhood coffee shop with a really warm and inviting atmosphere driven by the service from the staff. They’re all really lovely and kind people who are making really good espresso drinks. They do a great job executing on classic espresso drinks. They also like to experiment with creative flavors for specialty drinks — I think they hit more than they miss, but I also want to say that I appreciate that they want to push the envelope and try some drinks you aren’t going to find everywhere (I’m thinking of the chamoy apple latte as an example).

The space is a little small but whaddyagonnado. I really appreciate the love they bring to the drinks! They have a small case of pastries but AFAIK they aren’t doing like food options.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“I'd have to tell you last Friday I went to Lola's because my wife kept raving about how wonderful of a place it was. So I had to try it out for myself. A young lady named Abigail (who looks like Billie Ellish) and who just had this welcoming spirit and made you feel comfortable along with the rest of the staff. Once you were sat and you were able to go through the menu, I had looked up some items online and their food looked exactly as it was presented in their pictures. Even better, the food, it was absolutely, completely, delicious!!! The atmosphere made you not want to leave, and it was comfortable, it was inviting. They checked on you periodically to see if you needed anything at he same time, allowing you to enjoy the ambience of the place. I had the enchiladas and Arnold Palmer balanced perfectly. It's a good first date place. My date I've been with her 30 years Married and enjoyed every moment there, oh also our daughter was present.“

“Nice place to chill, nice back patio too.“

“Great lil coffee shop! I usually get my coffee beans here since they are top notch. There aren't dates on the bags, but the barista told me they get new batch in every Tuesday, so everything is fresh (although, would still prefer to have roast dates on the bags for confirmation). They also give you free coffee when you buy beans, and have free dog treats! Not really sit and chat type of cafe since it's tiny and the seats do not look super comfy. I do see regulars sitting outside, and dog friendly!“

“This is such a cute cafe! I’ve been twice and will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area again! I had the Lechera and the Horchata latte, both soooo delicious!! I love the range of flavors they offer. The overnight oats were also really tasty. Definitely recommend, well priced too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)“

“Just like its name, the venue did give that picnic vibe with array of seats outside, went along with the vibrant and bright colors venue. Very limited seats inside, but good thing was most people came and go briefly.

Plenty of unique-flavored pastries were there, and I tried their Passion Fruit Kouign Amann that the barista recommended as his most favorite from the showcase. I made the right decision following the suggestion as it's simple yet delicate. Crispy buttery texture, complemented by sweet and refreshing passion fruit cream. I did wish there's more of the cream, as it's just at the center top.

As I was craving for hot coffee, I opted for their Spanish Latte. I initially requested them to make it without cayenne as it's called out as one of the ingredients, but they told me it's just very little that you might not even taste it. It was surely true, I loved how my Spanish Latte wasn't overly sweet, perfected by the hint of cinnamon, and I could have it with almond milk for free substitution!“

“What is there not to love about Alfred Coffee of WeHo! 😊“

“Love ❤️ the seating choice - bright 🌞 patio street side or cool, dark interior - very cool 😎 place. We drove 4 hours to get there (in search of Ireland/UK quality scones) - which were, in my opinion, just OK 👍 with a vast variety of choices. Overall, a delightful experience 😊“

“Beautiful cafe. Loved it here.“

“It feels like the cafe name perfectly represents the ambiance. The petite shop does feel super homey that it gives the vibe of having coffee at your friend's living room. One simple long communal table at the center complemented with plugs for the guests to use. I really love how the background music is slow and chill - not being too loud, and all the guests also mostly focus on their own thing, making it perfect 'quiet' space regardless you're working or just seeking some peaceful space to relax.

Being a first timer doesn't make me feel alienated as the barista's super welcoming. Asking for her reco, I end up with their house signature's Maple Walnut Latte. Interestingly the Maple Walnut was actually the dairy-free milk and the default sweetener is house-made brown sugar cinnamon syrup. She does call out that they make all their syrups in house so I'm pretty impressed by how many selections they carry. They do have a handful of non-coffee options if coffee isn't your cup of tea. I see plenty of guests go for their Strawberry Matcha, which indeed is their top one from non-coffee selections. I love my cup of joe, coming just at the right sweetness level, and the flavor's peculiar yet amiable. I request mine to be served extra hot, and it does come like a warm hug amidst the all-day-long pouring rain.“

“I feel so lucky to have this coffee shop within walking distance. The baristas are always kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. It’s the kind of place that creates a real sense of community. You can come here to relax, get some work done, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee on the patio.“

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