Elabrew has become my go to coffee shop at work. The coffee is good, the baristas are friendly and the vibes are always positive. They have nice seasonal drinks besides the usual fare, and the fridge seems stocked with some tasty to-go meals when you wanna grab lunch/breakfast.

Josh is excellent and the coffee is tops. Take out burritos are also pretty good.

If you can manage to find the place, the coffee is great! I got the kyoto cold brew. Highly recommended. My sister got a vanilla latte rich she really liked as well.
It would be very helpful if the shop posted directions or had a map or something. Almost gave up looking for it.

Cute coffee place with great service. Josh and Michelle are super friendly and run a solid establishment.
I ordered online (Grubhub sucks, lesson learnt) - a pour over and a chai latte. When I arrived, it took a while to find the place. I asked about the pour over only to realize that the PO wasn't my favorite. Not a big deal, it had a good nose. Josh immediately offered to re-do with his favorite, a Costa Rican blend at no charge. It was a good decision to let him swap. The pour over was perfect with a great nose and rich, developed flavors, and a slightly sour aftertaste that I like from anaerobic coffee beans. They use v60 for their pour overs and don't rush the process.
The coffee selection rotates and you can tell they curate well. They typically buy blends from Lightwave coffee, a specialty local LA roaster. Would love it if they could source some single origins.
The chai latte on the other hand wasn't our favorite. It lacked a punch and was a little sweet (probably the non-dairy milk since the brew is technically supposed to be unsweetened).
We also picked up a protein salad that looked fresh.
Location: This shop can be hard to find, it's at the back of a commercial office building, and requires a short walk to locate the garden area. Parking on street is metered.
Tip: Park in the garage, and get 3 hours free validation.

My favorite coffee shop- wonderful, hardworking people (Erica and Josh!!), delicious coffee and other creative drinks, and locally procured baked goods. Even latte (hot cocoa) art in the image of favorite stuffies as shown here:

solid flat white. cute shop and big area to hang out outside because it’s in a corporate complex but can feel empty.
I have hit this coffee shop on a few occasions and have always been met with friendly staff and great quality overall in service, coffee, and ingredients. This shop is mindful of their customers and genuinely enjoy the coffee experience.Check them out in the Colorado Center, Santa Monica.
New opinion:Im changing my review, as I went today and clearly are trying to be more consistent and having some options to eat: cookies, coffee cake, little muffins and Tuesday and Wednesday breakfast burritos form “The Rooster”The coffee is so creamy, the Chagaccino w Oat Milk is really nice.Gen Z vibes from the staff is refreshing. (Relaxed and happy)Old opinion:The coffee is good, but there is no menu or anything to eat, or being sure if will be open or not.The staff is friendly.
