50 Best Coffee Shops in Los Angeles

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“Jurassic Magic is easily one of the coolest finds in LA. the name makes it sound like a theme park gift shop, but it's actually this incredibly chilled-out, artsy sanctuary. I spent the afternoon on their back patio--it's like a secret garden filled with tropical plants and mid-century vibes. I tried the 'magic latte', and the spice blend is genuinely unique; it's warm and comforting without being too sweet. you can tell they really care about the craft, from the live-whisked matcha to the fact that they roast their own beans. it's the perfect 'third place' to just exist for a while, whether you're catching up on work or just hiding from the city noise. Definitely a must-visit if you appreciate good design and creative 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.“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

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

“This place just feels like a warm hug. The interior is filled with lush plants, mismatched vintage furniture, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I tried their signature lavender honey latte and it wasn't overly sweet, just right. The baristas are super friendly and remember the regulars. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book on a rainy afternoon“

“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.“

“Love this place! Everyone who works there is so friendly. The lattes are great and they carry Out of Thin Air pastries. The beautiful flower arrangements available for purchase are a bonus. I don’t know much about ice cube variants, but something about the shape and size of their ice cubes are perfect? Parking in the lot can be tough if you aren’t there early but there is usually something available on the street.“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“One of my favorite coffee spots in LA. They have great tasting espresso that really comes through in their latte. The shop is cute, stocked with knick-knacks and treats, and the baristas are friendly. I hardly ever have an issue finding convenient parking.“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“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.“

“Excellent baguettes. We tried the full-size omelette sandwich - a generously portioned, perfectly prepared soft French omelette in a crusty baguette. Superb. Almond and chocolate croissants were also very good.

It's counter service, right on the sidewalk of busy Melrose Ave. No seating other than a bench and a couple of stools to use while you wait for your freshly prepared order.

Parking can be a challenge. We snagged a street spot on Harvard. There's a park nearby with benches and shade if you want somewhere to eat your treats.“

“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.“

“Always a flawless experience here; the service, food and coffee never disappoint. I tried the breakfast burrito with Beyond sausage this time, and it was incredible. Super flavorful, perfectly filling, and left me feeling energized instead of weighed down. I love seeing high-quality plant-based options on the menu!“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“New favorite coffee shop alert 😍 absolutely loved this place. The sugar cookie cream top latte half sweet was PERFECT! Dream latte. Also their almond milk is so delicious. Very nutty. And their breakfast burrito was absolutely perfect.
On top of it, the staff was super friendly which is always an additional star. Definitely will be back.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“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:)“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“I tried something different and tried Hukuju and literally love at first sip. I love that they didn’t pre-sweeten the Matcha. Honestly, I think they really tried to serve matcha as authentically and best possible. The nutty, velvety, cocoa notes were spot on. And it was just so lovely yapping for a couple hours while sipping this drink. And surprisingly, I enjoyed it even more the cooler it got. Warm and room temp with a splash of honey is the way to go.

I also tried their Uji Homare and it was a much more familiar flavor profile to what I was used to but without bitter aftertaste. Just really good flavor

The taste and vibes were immaculate. The staff were kind and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Matcha talking with the manager especially about their cast iron low boiler.

Unfortunately, the smallest bag of Hukuju was 100mg and I wasn’t ready to drop $70 like that. But luckily they have a similar product in a smaller tin that I was more than happy to take home with me“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“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.“

“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 💋“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very expensive for what you're getting. At least the food was mostly good and the service was good.

Ordered two 16oz lattes with an extra espresso shot in each, one chocolate concha, and two breakfast bagels. After tip the total was $50 making it $25 per person.

The cinnamon brown sugar and cajeta lattes were very good. The chocolate concha, especially when dipped in a hot latte, was delicious. The breakfast bagel was okay, but a little too salty for my taste.

Probably won't be back again just because of the price. It's a shame because the coffee and concha were good.“

“Food:
Please please please get the beuongo bbang (붕어빵/taiyaki). As a korean american Ive been craving the pastry that my halmoni used to get me back in Korea and this is the most authentic and delicious one that beats the one in Korea! I was so startled by the taste that I urged my parents to try and they agreed that the batter is really well made. The drinks were great too but definitely on the sweeter side (try the zodiac drinks, thought it was a cute way to try introduce new drink combos).

Parking and store:
Parking lot is a decent size for it being in ktown. The store is small inside but the atmosphere is so cozy and cute.

Service:
Im pretty sure the man who was taking my owner was also the owner but he was super friendly. Would go out of his way to make sure customers can find the bathroom and would check in with each of his customers.“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“The most important element to me when reviewing a coffee shop is the coffee. Good Intentions serves up 5-star coffee drinks. The first sip gave me that wow feeling and brought a smile to my face. The service was courteous and a peaceful. The atmosphere was bright and what you’d expect at a small coffee shop. It’s definitely a spot to put it on your coffee shop rotation list.“

“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.“

“Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow? Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow. Meow. Meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow.“

“This isn't a coffee shop. It's a communal space. The coffee is basically free if you think of your donation as more of a rental fee to be in this lovely communal space and have access to all that it offers. This place is ideal for making plans with business partners, writing scripts with friends, or just getting together for some time away from screens and computers. This place is tailored toward bringing diverse people together into one place to sharing ideas and stories with each other. As for the coffee and baristas both are fantastic. Cappuccino rocked me off my behind all day cuz I'm used to watered down crappuccinos from Starbucks. I love this place. This is where I bring friends that love good coffee and a peaceful conversation.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cute, fun, and immediately won me over because they use Dune Coffee beans, aka one of my favorite coffee spots from Santa Barbara!

The matcha was incredible and my friend LOVED her strawberry matcha because the milk tasted infused with freeze-dried strawberries which really leveled up the strawberry flavor! Super unique and really tasty. Will definitely be back!“

“Came here 5/7 days for breakfast on my trip to LA... I could hardly pull myself away from their chilaquiles!! Wow. Both with their signature Oaxacan mole and their homemade red and green salsas, truly unbelievable. AND their service was always hospitable and sincere!!“

“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“

“First time having vegan donuts and Andres was super patience and welcoming. I recommend the rites of sprinkles, the jelly sound, and the promise ring. They were all delicious. I also had a cold brew with oat milk that was refreshing.“
