Skid Row Coffee

I was safe for the last 6 months. I've never enjoyed an atmosphere, a staff. A service that has made a big difference in my life by stopping by.

Such a lovely venue with great coffee, drinks, pastries and freshly prepared sandwiches. The staff are friendly and lots of snacks. There is seating inside and outside.

I was told the croissant was fresh but it was stale and the coffee was just average. If you are charging such high prices, at least provide quality food.

Absolutely love the space and vibe here. I came on a weekday and was lucky enough to find free parking, though this can usually be a hassle in the area. They have iced coffee on tap which was absolutely delicious. In my opinion, doesn't need anything though I'm sure the coffee drinks are good as well! Average price-wise and excellent wi-fi connection. The playlist was also on-point for my taste. I would definitely recommend Groundwork as a prospective study spot!

Great coffee, wonderful people and all for a good cause!

I had the most amazing latte and sandwich here for a little brunch kind of meal. The service was super friendly.

Love, Love, Love this place I've tried everything there and it's delicious ? and the customer service is No.1. I really appreciate how the owner greets me everytime he sees me.The other day I saw them give the homeless a meal and this wasn't my 1st time seeing them feed the homeless. What a great establishment and they have good prices.

All I have is me

it’s yummy, but this place is definitely expensive. Especially the sides in the small containers… they give you such a small portion for the price you pay.

This is probably the best coffee shop in LA! Their coffee tastes like a real authentic European coffee, customer service was 10 out of 10! The interior is very small but well designed, bright light with the minimalistic design creates a very unique vibe! If you around Melrose you must try it, I will definitely go back for another cup of flat white.

Such a unique coffee shop and study spot. The entire place is decorated like an old elementary school classroom and has the perfect study vibes. I ordered an oatmilk hojicha latte and it was delicious. Definitely one of the most delicious and unique lattes I have ever had. If you are in the area, I'd recommend stopping by. It is pricier but worth every penny.

What an adorable place! It's a pain to have people studying here, especially on the weekends, because of course you're going to have a big crowd come in on a Saturday morning trying to sit and drink their coffee. Other than that, the ambience is casual and the drinks are wonderful/creative! They are a bit overpriced, extra dollar for dairy free milk, so that was my pain point. But good first experience!
