Hands down my favorite coffee shop. Staff is amazing, food is one of a kind and drinks are made perfect. I also get my fav beans here as well. Definitely my favorite place to go and number one on my list. Park in the back lot - they validate!

Vegetarian options: There are lots of vegan options and they also have vegan cookies

Parking: Park in the back lot and get a ticket - bring to front counter to validate for free

Kid-friendliness: I always see kids in here enjoying their time! Go in the the early morning and it’s not that busy

Overall, I think this is the best coffee shop and I’ll tell you why. I’m a solopreneur and need a spot with decent WiFi and not a crazy amount of noise in case I need to take a call. Before, I’d go to Philz but there’s two things there; one is an absurd tax on parking and most importantly they don’t have porcelain cups. There’s another spot with great coffee, parking, and cups but their staff would frequently change and often they’d have the music pumping like it’s a night club or something, in an absurdly small space. I got in trouble for it before taking a serious call with jazz blaring in the background 😂. Ideology has the best mix: vibe is great, staff is stable and all great people, coffee is good, they have good parking, the area is inspirational, many cool folks from all walks, construction to entertainment to all sorts like myself, parking is robust in the side streets (avoid Dickens), never had an issue, the walkabout the area is the best in town. They make all their strips in house, I don’t eat during the day and don’t like sweets, but I think that’s something that can really make them pop, people spend crazy money on good sourdough gluten-free breads and sweets— I 1 billion percent recommend this spot as your go to local coffee spot hands down ☕️❤️

The baristas here are always so kind and choose great music, and the coffee is really great too. One of my favorite coffee shops in LA :) Nice place to draw or do homework, and they also have rewards which is nice <3

Absolutely amazing in the first half of the day! The atmosphere is perfect for enjoying coffee and getting some work done. However, in the afternoon, the vibe changes with loud rock music blasting, which feels out of place and makes it hard to stay. The morning ambiance suits the coffee shop much better.

The croissant was so fresh.

I am a little loose with my 5’s but I really liked this place and I look forward to going back. I really enjoyed that I could buy a basic cup of coffee for under $5 , perhaps it was even under$4!!! Shocking I know. They just made a pot and were happy to share it with me. It was nice not being looked at like I have 12 heads when I just wanted a plain cuppa coffee.
ORRR being told I need to get an Americana because they don’t have regular coffee. Blah blah blah…. People watching was great. The place was pristine. I really appreciate that. Kids behind the counter, at this point, everyone’s a kid, were very professional, and I certainly enjoyed their enthusiasm. I chose Ideology off google based on location and that it was not an incredibly huge well-known chain.
I have no problems with that incredibly, huge well-known chain BTW … I just want something unique and different sometimes. Oh, and not for someone to look me like I have 12 heads for wanting a plain cuppa Joe. So I guess, that 5 stars was well earned.

The barista and cashier greeted us with warm smiles and were happy to answer our questions. My daughter order the Rafi (yum) and I ordered the mocha, half sweet. My mocha was prepared with a beautiful design. Both of our beverages were thoroughly enjoyed and our experience here was fantastic. I am NOT a Starbucks fan for many reasons and appreciate the quality beans and made to order drinks. We’ll be back!

I can always depend on Ideology coffee for the best lattés, service, and ambiance. The staff are always so warm and welcoming, and truly intentional behind every cup they serve. They leave no stones unturned in the world of coffee/tea and service!

Great latte! I had the cinnamon & clove. I love that they make their own syrups and there’s indoor and outdoor seating.
