This ain't Starbucks. Don't go here if you're in a rush for mediocre coffee. This is a place to chill and savor nature's black gold. ?☕

Ordered and paid for a large iced coffee and a small smoothie. But was given two small drinks. I was in a rush and didn't notice until after I had driven away. I didn't think to check/compare the cups. I guess moving forward we should.

I have ordered food and coffee here on three occasions, each experience was more disappointing than the last. I usually don't write reviews, but I feel obliged to warn people that spending money here is a waste and, honestly, with the quality of food I've had here it seems like an outright scam. I can only speak for today when I ordered two savory pastries. I waited 15 minutes for these pastries to be "warmed up" and when I walked out with my food, I took a bite and the dough was completely uncooked. It tasted like Pilsbury pastry dough with filling that tasted like mashed potatoes from a box--mush. Truly upsetting to spend money here and I believe they are taking advantage of the young students who come here to study, just serving them whatever meets the most basic qualifications for food. And barely meeting that. Don't eat here, go to a family owned taqueria nearby.

Such a cozy spot for breakfast near USC! A great place to do some homework or grab some bagels with friends. I got the banana nutella waffle and it was very tasty with candied nuts and lots of whipped cream, and the prices are not outrageous. The bagel was a little on the small side, but I definitely see myself coming here at least once a month.

I always come here to get work done and it’s such a nice experience. I only wish it was open for longer :)

Avocado toast and a latte = $17. I'm still waiting for it, haven't even tried it yet, but I know it's not worth it.

I enjoyed my morning breakfast here. The coffee is amazing and the egg sandwich is chefs kiss.

Everything is just perfect. The food, staff, drinks. Best place I went when I was in
Nice little coffee shop near usc! I like to go here to study or get a coffee with friends. they have a really good vegan mushroom and potato pastry (even though it's like $7). They also have food, juices, and smoothies aside from coffee. They have a few outlets, ample seating, and a nice warm cozy vibe, bricks and wood. Beware they close early!

Keep an eye on these guys. I ordered my drink yesterday and after I tapped my card the lady tapped the 20% tip button, flipped the screen toward me and said "I just need your signature." It was super quick, and mayyyyybe it was an accident....but honestly tipping is out of control and we don't need the stores making it mandatory. Their drinks and pastries are great. I'll keep going and I'm going to observe if this is a normal thing they do, or if that was a fluke.

First and foremost, I had higher expectations for a joint owned by Bacari, because Bacari is great and still is great despite my experience here (I've only been to Bacari on third, not the one next to Nature's Brew though). My boyfriend and I both thought the best part of our meals were our drinks The pain au chocolate wasn't bad by any means, there was an almond on it but I don't care about that. The iced coffee was great. The herb omelette is a different story. Those eggs were overcooked, thin, and dry as anything. My boyfriend found the sourdough stale (he got the tofu scramble with sourdough toast). My main gripe was the service though. Very dismissive server (I'm sure the rest are fine, and maybe my server was just having a bad day, but I'm going off my honest experience). Whenever I talked she didn't seem to make eye contact with me, but did to my partner, and when I asked where the bathroom was, she just said yup and waved down the hallway. I get you're just doing your job, but from one food service employee to another, just be mindful of the impression you leave. Would've gotten at least three stars if the service was better.

Ambiance was nice for studying nearby USC! The iced vanilla latte was a little bland but the breakfast burrito was so good! Friendly staff and great service!

Free coolie with the check in. Coffee making is a bit on the slow side but it is a great atmosphere, the folks behind the counter are friendly and the coffee is very good. I will be back.
