Generations Coffee (formerly Butler's Coffee)

This is not your original coffee spot. I learned they are a 501(c)(3) non profit helping youth volunteers gain work skills. Every Saturday they have painting lessons from Nataly and they are fun! Great vibes all around.

They don’t enforce a policy where customers use headphones so you are subject to customers blaring speaker phone use - very disruptive for a coffee shop vibe. I won’t be returning for that reason.

Also the cold brew was extremely bitter.

Not what I expected from a coffee shop. Pre-made coffee, prepackaged creamer. No restrooms.

A lot of people don't realize Generation's is not just a coffee shop. It is posted in the coffee shop that Generation's is a place for youth, disabled children and adults, and homeless or foster children to be able to gain work experience. These youth are supervised at all times and trained by adults on how to work in a coffeeshop very similar to on the job training. A lot of these reviews are posted by people who didnt stop an decided to read the signs posted all around the shop. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes especially kids. This is a small cafe that you can order from while supporting a good cause. They are non profit, meaning the kids making your drinks are really there because they care and want to make a difference in the world while gaining experience in a work place. The job market is so horrible right now for young adults with no experience. This place is giving the youth in the AV a chance to get a job in these difficult times. So if you stop, by remember you are not only donating to your community but helping YOUTH, gain work experience.

I told them to toast my bagel and they did not. Simple instructions and they failed.

Don't come here unless you have time to kill! I visited on a weekday with 2 coworkers on our way into LA. We entered before opening time around 7:55 and didn't get our 3 drinks and two pastries until 8:30, despite 3 people behind the counter. Neither the coffee or the food were particularly good. I wouldn't go back here.

First time visiting and unfortunately will not return. It is extremely warm inside if the air conditioner was on couldn’t feel it. Why was there a painting class going on lol I thought I walked into the wrong place, Nothing against painting just makes you feel like you can’t stay because you have the instructor taking and made you feel like you had to be quiet. Then the two kids working on our drinks were friendly and courteous, but it took 15 minutes to get two drinks and we were the only ones ordering. The coffee at first tasted okay but left a bad after taste, never had that from coffee before. I understand The concept that you’re trying to do there, but I think there should be some adult supervision. Or experience staff member to control quality taste! Some of the one or two stars reviews that I read here coincide with what we experience.

Excellent service

Really liked the cake pops and apple pie. DELICIOUS!

Best coffee shop I've been to in a long time. Their organic coffee and ice blended espresso is AMAZING! Had an ice blended white raspberry mocha and a spinach and egg sandwich warmed. Staff was friendly and helpful! WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

This place needs a lot of work and when I say a lot. I mean, a lot. I paid 7.50 for a small latte. I had to delete my old review because it's not the same owner from 6 years ago. Most of these reviews are from the old name butlers coffeehouse. Total different coffee house. Beware.

9am on a Saturday morning and no one is in the coffee shop. That alone speaks for itself.

After spending a few minutes looking at the menu on the wall, I ordered two things off of that menu, but then I was informed that they no longer sell those items. I wasted my time looking at the menu just to find out it’s not even accurate. After they told me they didn’t have vanilla flavoring I saw it sitting on the counter and asked about It and was blown off by the worker. The latte was below mid. Barely tasted the coffee, 95% of it was milk, and our “warmed sandwich” wasn't even warm.

The staff is very unprofessional. They have 7 workers and they are too busy making their own drinks and talking to give proper customer service. Me and my husband waited 15 minutes for our order. In that time the workers were making their own drinks instead of ours.

Will not be going back
