Coffee Shops near Playa Vista

“My favorite coffee beans. Good people are excellent seriously“

“Yes, Wholefoods is a bit expensive for certain items but it has so much choice and also has a lot of reasonable priced items! We wanted some food to go and had the vegan grilled vegetable sandwich and vegan smoky tempeh TTLA sandwich - these were both delicious! My favourite was the first and my boyfriend preferred the tempeh one! They also have vegan pizza to go if you're in the mood. I also couldn't resist getting a box of chocolate cookies and a chocolate vegan cupcake - all amazing. Updated from previous review on 2018-06-10“

“One of my favorite restaurants ever. The meat was seasoned so expertly and was so tender. Mussel toast was INCREDIBLE. Their sourdough was out of this world. Staff was knowledgeable and guided us in trying many interesting wines. This place was amazing!“

“I wouldn’t say this is a disappointment like others. I also went when the line wasn’t long and we got one strawberry matcha and one einspanner and the einspanner was better in my opinion. If you’ve had about time it was similar, but smaller as well. I approve and it’s not bad. Nothing to gag about but it’s pretty good and it’s a lighter einspanner compared to other ppl“

“Awakening is an unexpectedly delightful coffee shop. Terrific coffee drinks ordered from a deceptively sparse lobby, but beyond the barista’s area is a lush, chill sitting area, filled with sofas and soft chairs, and lots of tables to work at. Rentable work room also available. Dog water and snack station. You could chill here for hours.“

“This is a tiny counter with serious espresso. The cappuccino art is consistently pretty, but I stay for the cheddar scallion biscuit—flaky with a soft interior. There’s a shaded sidewalk bench that’s prime for people-watching on Glendale Blvd. They remember regulars’ orders, which feels old-school. Great pit stop before hiking up to the reservoir loop“

“chill spot for friendly conversation.“

“Finally I got to try this place and yes it’s EVERYTHING I expected and more . We loved it all and will be coming back real soon……… parking is an act of God but the Gods must have been looking out for us and we got parking right in front ♥️“

“They have a nice study space and some tables and Chairs outside as well.... Its very mellow there.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great cafe. I came here again recently and ordered a macchiato (traditional) and it was excellent. Was very pleased, because these can be hard to find in LA done correctly. You can tell they care about coffee here and the service and atmosphere was very nice. I haven’t tried the food yet, but overall great addition to the neighborhood!“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“We loved our visit to Camel this morning. I’ve been out of the city for a while and I’m happy to see such a unique shop pop up. It reminded me of Star Wars inside ? obviously desert themed. Super sick. Love the seating upstairs. But most importantly the staff were very pleasant and the coffee was so good. I love when everything works in unison at a shop like that. Perfect americano. The pastries are great also.“

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

“This Latina woman–owned coffee shop is such a hidden gem. From the outside it might look a little rough, but step inside and you’ll be greeted with the warmest service and the most delicious food. I had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a long time, and the mazapán latte was out of this world. PERFECTLY made. The team here truly makes you feel welcome, and you can tell they pour so much love into what they do. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this spot! 🌸☕🥪 Gracias chicas!!“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“The owners here are really nice, and the coffee is top notch. Do not sleep on the Vanilla Bean latte and the egg salad toast.

Also, I appreciate that they don't charge much extra for non-dairy milk- only $0.25 (a lot of places around here charge an extra dollar). Well worth the visit!“

“My favorite coffee spot in LA. Their Vienna latte is top tier but my favorite drink is the buttercream latte. It literally tastes like a werther’s caramel. The parking lot is TINY but there are meters around. The shop is also small with just 3 tables so it really is more of a grab and go place than a hang out.“

“This is the best matcha in LA. I get a dirty matcha with oat milk and their homemade lavender syrup and it’s insane. They use ceremonial matcha too! The texture of the drink so so silky and amazing. A must try. Not expensive at all and you can get stamps to work towards a free drink! ?

It’s also a dream if a vibe in there.“

“This is the best coffee in LA, the shop is small and most of the time busy in the morning time
The coffee is amazing (specialty coffee)
I tried a lot in Los Angeles and this is the best
The shop is small and it is crowded in the morning.“

“Everything I’ve tried thus far is a 12/10. The iced gentle giant is sooo good if you like a cardamom spiced note. I just branched out, and tried the iced magic latte I believe with oat milk. This oat milk is top tier, no separation, it’s so smooth. The Cinnamon Roll is the best I’ve had from the tangy cream cheese frosting to the pillowy soft roll itself. Everyone there is so nice & treat you with such genuine kindness. Being new to this area, and finding a gem like this place is so comforting in this big city. They really put the ✨craft✨ in craft coffee. Definitely try Jurassic Magic, you won’t regret it.“

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“Two of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had in my life! The Cafe Rico was out of this world and the drip coffee was unreal. Special shoutout to Nicely for his hospitality, passion, and expertise. Cannot recommend enough, I will be back☕️“

“After eating a delicious spicy chicken sandwich from Chimmelier down the street on one of the hottest days in Los Angeles, a Blackberry Lemonade from Frank Coffee was deliverance! A very refreshing drink! The staff there was very friendly! 10/10!“

“Lovely family business. Great food & drinks, easy parking, inside & outside seating, affordable prices & totally relaxed & comfy athmosfere!“

“I feel so lucky to have this coffee shop within walking distance. The baristas are always kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. It’s the kind of place that creates a real sense of community. You can come here to relax, get some work done, or just enjoy a great cup of coffee on the patio.“

“Great crew serving great coffee.“

“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“This place is very understated. They clearly want to deliver high quality and don't make a big deal of it. The only thing I would change Is the coffee ratios - I think the flat white has too much milk but that's a small point (I don't know what the espresso to milk ratios are in their other drinks). Maybe an ounce or two less milk would be good? I am really glad I found this place.“

“A great place, nice people, great staff. Excellent for a lunch, a quick snack or a coffee break from a busy day. A big plus is the garden in the back where you can sit back and enjoy the day. Also good if you prefer working outside in the sun. A warm recommendation.

Dietary restrictions: Ask the staff

Kid-friendliness: Yes, but people rarely bring kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The place has a cozy vibe with great coffee and friendly staff. The seating is comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is reliable, making it a good spot to work or relax. The pastries are fresh and pair well with the drinks. It’s a bit busy during peak hours, but the service remains efficient. Overall, a solid choice for coffee lovers.“

“Best food spot I’ve ever been too. I have traveled internationally and nationally NOTHING beats Kafe K, best quality cappuccino perfect consistentsy for only $5?! I wish I had a lifetime supply! Don’t get me started on the açaí bowls, my jaw hit the floor? Even my child asked if we can make them at home, most definitely would come and support!“

“Everything about this place. The owner is THE SWEETEST and was dancing when we walked in and offered us some lolipops. The interior is so fun and vibrant and inviting and the boba was out of this world we actually ended up ordering more on Uber eats later. 10000/10 recommend and their signature boba.“

“HOLEY CRAP these are incredible donuts. Who knew the Hawaiian superfood taro could be so delicious? I will most definitely be coming back here for more, even their basic donut offering, the “hot single” is to die for. All donuts are fresh made to order, highly recommend eating them hot. The flavors are orgasmic.“

“My new favorite breakfast/brunch spot in MB!!! Cozy vibes with great coffee and food. The best part is the service - our server Ruben is awesome. He’s been our server the last couple of times I’ve been here and he’s the best. 10/10!!!!“

“Safe and friendly amazing coffee. Give yourself a time out and go get an amazing coffee.“

“I stopped by this spot on the way to dinner over the weekend. Parking was a little limited, but there were plenty of public lots and street parking nearby. The shop is super cute, and I picked up a few cookies: Guava Cheese, KitKat Tiramisu, Ube Coconut Éclair, and Peanut Butter Banana Brûlée.

What I loved most is that they add the toppings fresh after you order! The cookies were soft, flavorful, and had a nice hint of cinnamon. My favorite was the Guava Cheese🤍

The staff were really friendly and explained each flavor. Next time, I want to try their ice cream since I saw a lot of people ordering it!!!“

“lovely place“

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!

Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.“

“Can’t wait to come back for a positive review after my first be bright pour-over as I think I had the best bean in North America and haven’t had a good quality of Geisha for long time.
I dropped by for a cold brew and grabbed a bag of “unique & surprising” to go and the barista shared a small cup of its cold brew for me to taste. I am glad i have tried because it was really surprised by its freshness and flavor and almost wanted to have another large cup of coffee if it’s not my first drink at that day of arrival after a 5 hr flight without a full meal😿
I followed the brew guide on the website but have cut half of the size and still get the same profile as I have had for cold brew.
I will definitely come back for other coffee drinks next time🙌
Nice staff with the chill atmosphere and a kids area provided which is rarely seen“

“Atmosphere was really nice, and the staff was quick and polite. My only qualm is really the coffee. It was good dont get me wrong, but it wasnt waiting in line till outside the door good. I think this is a good causal place to chat with friends, but not the type to specifically go there for the coffee.

For reference I got the Spanish latte.
All in all I reccomend going on a weekday where the lines are shorter and there's less people and itll be a very enjoyable experience. I do wish they would expand the drink menu and perhaps add some seasonal drinks.“

“Had lunch here while visiting from San Diego for the day. Had the chicken pesto panini, butternut squash soup, along with a latte and americano. Everything was so good. Perfect amount of pesto on the sandwich (most restaurants skimp on the pesto) and soup was seasoned so well. Got a chocolate chip cookie and snickerdoodle cookie to-go and they tasted delicious. Service was great and I appreciated that the staff making sure we had the plates and utensils we needed when they brought our food and drinks to the table. Highly recommend getting a bite to eat here. Will be going back when I’m in town.“

“Delicious!!! Great service I have to go every time I’m in LA😝“

“So good!! Never misses! Became my favorite spot“

“Another trendy coffee spot in Koreatown. I got an einspanner cold brew which was really good if not a bit on the weaker side for coffee. My friend said the matcha here is pretty decent. Drinks are pretty pricey, hovering between $6 and $9. Expect a 15-20 minute wait here.“

“What is there not to love about Alfred Coffee of WeHo! 😊“

“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 have to say the service at the Henry is top notch. While I have not been in person, Brandon - the manger was so kind and helped me send drinks to my friends on my behalf who were celebrating their marriage there. He even sent me a video from his personal phone showing my friends enjoying their drinks. Next time I'm in LA, I will one hundred percent come here to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and service! Thank you so much! Love from Canada :)“
