Groundwork Coffee Co.

Coffee is good but they don't accept cash. The servers were surly. They act as if they are doing you a favor. Not going back

Very good coffee, but it smells like a cat litterbox in here to the point where I could not stay for long.

Food is amazing. Coffee is amazing. But….So. Loud. Every time I try to have meetings over coffee, it’s impossible and have to end up leaving. Music is so loud that people are all yelling to talk over it. :(

Convenient location right on Sunset Blvd. Needed a quick breakfast and a drink to get my day going. Ordered the vegan BLTA, small container of fruit, and a large iced matcha latte. The latte came out quick and each size up was only slightly more costly than the size below. The sandwich took over 10 minutes, so if you are in a rush, this might not be helpful. Wasn't too busy when I was there. Got it all to go. Overall satisfying breakfast choice and drink selection with plant-based milks, though they have hemp on the menu and either were out or not offering it any more.

Friendly service, delicious latte and killer cinnamon coffee cake.

Kool place to go if in Hollywood, right by the Los Angeles Film School.

I want to start off by saying the breakfast was amazing. I got the daybreaker sandwich and it was by far the best breakfast I've had my whole trip. It was crispy, spicy, so much flavor. Amazing. Beyond that though, the coffee was okay. Not bad, but nothing outstanding. The biggest issue is had was the whole place had an off putting smell that really killed the vibe. The breakfast sandwich made up for it though.

Very delicious locally sourced coffee. I know coffee well. They have a very delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. I tried their breakfast burrito. The flavors were out of this world. I highly recommend this place.

This place is staffed by some of the most hard-working baristas in Hollywood. Full stop. They pull a good shot. And unnecessarily, The food is actually pretty good, which I wouldn't normally say about any coffee shop or care, like real food and many options. Also the new summer strawberry matcha is amazing.

Decent coffee but pretty standard. Just ordered a regular coffee and it was freshly brewed and served hot but taste wise, it was kind of weak. The cafe itself is spacious with lots of seating. The service wasn't that great either. The staff when I went weren't particularly friendly. They weren't rude or anything but didn't greet me or try to be welcoming.

Consistently fantastic food and coffee with great service. I recommend the burrito bites.

Jill and Kim were the kindest baristas! Amazing service and took very good care of us! You can tell they are genuine and care deeply about our experience!

I’ve been a regular customer at this cafe for a while now, and I have to say that since Lupe became the manager, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The first thing I always notice is how clean everything is — the cafe itself is spotless, and the restroom is absolutely immaculate every single time. That might seem like a small thing, but for someone like me who values hygiene and comfort, it makes a huge difference. It’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back!
On top of that, Lupe is incredibly kind, professional, and polite. She carries herself with warmth and grace, and her presence truly elevates the whole atmosphere. Every visit feels welcoming - almost like coming home. You can tell she takes pride in what she does and genuinely cares about the customer experience.
This location is lucky to have her. Thank you, Lupe, for making this cafe such a wonderful place to be!

This cappuccino is visually unrefined, with runny foam and no discernible art. The milk has been steamed too hot, masking the natural sweetness and making the drink feel flat. Additionally, the espresso base is weak, leaving the drink without structure.

The coffee was well-balanced and had no hint of any bitterness. Not overly strong - just really good! The carrot cake muffin hit the spot; although a touch too sweet.
