50 Best Coffee Shops near Toluca Lake

“This is the second time going after a long while and honestly, should have come back sooner. Food was great definitely try the chilaquiles and papas con chorizo. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Place was quiet when we got there around 9am but started getting a little noisier once it started picking up. Not crazy noisy but the usual noise of different people having conversations. Will need to go back soon.“

“Great place .Love green tea latte.Very friendly place to relax“

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“Really cute spot with a great variety of flavors! I got Matcha Oreo, which had a nice strong matcha taste that wasn't overpowered by the sweetness, and also sampled Ube Coconut. I was just visiting Burbank, but next time I'm in town I wanna order a drink because they sound really good too!“

“I am from Florida. We are staying near Universal Studios… The quality of coffee is incredible… The staff is funny and a lot of fun… The speed of service also incredible thank you so much. Came in at just the right time on a Thursday got a four dollar Frappuccino… I have told everybody at the hotel…“

“wonderful staff delicious coffee“

“Jurassic Magic is easily one of the coolest finds in LA. the name makes it sound like a theme park gift shop, but it's actually this incredibly chilled-out, artsy sanctuary. I spent the afternoon on their back patio--it's like a secret garden filled with tropical plants and mid-century vibes. I tried the 'magic latte', and the spice blend is genuinely unique; it's warm and comforting without being too sweet. you can tell they really care about the craft, from the live-whisked matcha to the fact that they roast their own beans. it's the perfect 'third place' to just exist for a while, whether you're catching up on work or just hiding from the city noise. Definitely a must-visit if you appreciate good design and creative coffee.“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Not a personal fan of their cold brew. It has sort of a lavander after taste. I want my cold brew to taste like cold brew not lavender flowers 😂Also, they use Califia Farms Oat Milk, I'm partial to OATLY Barista Edition. Overall 4/5. Customer service was AMAZING and love the atmosphere with the plants. Definitely worth checking out at least once.“

“Just tried this place out, and I'm definitely coming back! The coffee was great (I got the burnt sugar latte), the employee I spoke to was helpful, and the service was very fast. I love the atmosphere of this shop, and the decorations are adorable. It felt very clean and modern, but with a touch of whimsy. Definitely a 5/5“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“Phenomenal service and amazing Gelato in the Italian style from Argentina 🇦🇷. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, work, visit. They've even got a back patio with gorgeous umbrellas. Great wifi and also coffee options. Support local and come enjoy some of the best coffee and dessert in LA“

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

“There are several excellent and unique boutique coffee stops on this strip and this one is especially representative of Hollywood today. Includes a bakery and kitchen with excellent offerings. My personal fave--plenty of tables and plugs for the laptop. If you want to linger, grab a hearty meal (breakfast and more, see menu) and write the next novel or blockbuster while supporting a coffee habit, this ticks all the boxes. Knowledgeable and approachable staff, and dog friendly as a bonus.“

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend“

“Fantastic little walk-up counter right on Melrose, with yummy sandwiches! Great little stop if you are walking a dog in the area, with a counter and a tiny seating area. The bread and butter are excellent. I’ve had the Daniel’s favorite, bresaola, jambon buerre, and omelette, and would happily order any of them again. The price can be eye watering, but if you consider the quality, not out of line with say, the pastrami at Langers. If you’re on Too Good to Go, Maison Matho sometimes has “clearance” items, but they sell out really fast!“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Love this place, staff is friendly and owners too. coffee is great and I'm very picky about coffee! free Wi-Fi is nice too!“

“My friend is obsessed with the coffee here whenever she comes to visit. The espresso is very cherry/acidic which isn’t for me but I think most people prefer it that way. Everyone is super nice here and I think it’s a lovely little shop.“

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

“Best bagel in Los Angeles! So excited to see expansion into Calabasas. Love your food!“

“Amazing coffee and drinks but even more amazing service. I stopped in recently postpartum with my toddler in tow and unfortunately spilled my drink everywhere as I was trying to leave. Hanna and Mher kindly helped me immediately and remade my drink. Totally saved my day!“

“Real as it gets. Really good coffee. Got the cream top drink, sweet cream on top and long black underneath. I didn't know what long black is so for those like me, it's like an Americano except the espresso is poured on top of water (rather than the water into the espresso) which apparently makes it taste richer.

Idk about all that hoopla, but here's what I can tell you, it tastes damn good.

With each sip you get the perfect mix of flavors. First you taste the rich, strong, and bitter (in the best way) coffee - which also has a tiny hint of orange which works wonderfully. Then, just as it's about to become overpowering, you get the sweet cream on the back of the tongue, balancing it out. Each sip was a delight.

That said, by the time I was 70ish% done, I wasn't enjoying it as much. I'm unsure why, but wanted to share my honest feedback. I really wanted to like it as much as I first did, but toward the end maybe the balance was off or something, or the underlying flavors didn't work as well as I thought, but didn't like it as much.

Still, I will return. Very good coffee.“

“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.“

“My son brought me to doto last night for my birthday. We found ourselves in Silver Lake after a hike and he saw the great reviews and selected this for our celebratory dinner. We couldn’t have been happier! It was 5 stars from the special corner table, to the complimentary prosecco, to the incredible service - food - and atmosphere - to the yummy dessert with a birthday candle! We left happy, full, and knowing we’d return. Btw best burger and fries in LA! Thank you doto!“

“Pam's is a fun spot with movie-themed decor but the important part is the coffee and tea drinks are excellent and the service staff was polite, welcoming and efficient.
There were some baked goods on display but we didn't partake. There is available street parking nearby most of the time.“

“It's a nice quiet atmosphere the workers are very nice and polite very friendly the pistachio coffee is bomb my daughter gets the machi machi idk what it's called but she is very tough to please when it comes to her coffee but she loves this spot she loves loves it every time she's in my area she'll wanna stops here to get her coffee love you Monique 💋“

“Food:
Please please please get the beuongo bbang (붕어빵/taiyaki). As a korean american Ive been craving the pastry that my halmoni used to get me back in Korea and this is the most authentic and delicious one that beats the one in Korea! I was so startled by the taste that I urged my parents to try and they agreed that the batter is really well made. The drinks were great too but definitely on the sweeter side (try the zodiac drinks, thought it was a cute way to try introduce new drink combos).

Parking and store:
Parking lot is a decent size for it being in ktown. The store is small inside but the atmosphere is so cozy and cute.

Service:
Im pretty sure the man who was taking my owner was also the owner but he was super friendly. Would go out of his way to make sure customers can find the bathroom and would check in with each of his customers.“

“Delicious coffee, latina owned and operated very nice establishment. Beautiful Salvadorian culture“

“Highlight Coffee Shop in Glendale, CA is a true gem for coffee lovers. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the perfect tone for a cozy coffee experience.“

“the option of pistachio milk. the pastries are fantastic.“

“Honestly, I've only ordered from Frank's coffee via delivery service. My favorite item on their menu that I order consistently is their Dirty Chai. It's literally perfection. I think they make this down to a science. I've tried it iced & hot and it's good both ways. I've tried lots of dirty chai from a lot of different places, but Frank Coffee does it the best! Also, their chocolate chip cookie is to die for. I moan in ecstasy every time i take a bite of that luscious cookie. Also I just ordered their vegan, apple cinnamon overnight oats and it also did not disappointment. Love me some Frank Coffee!“

“This isn't a coffee shop. It's a communal space. The coffee is basically free if you think of your donation as more of a rental fee to be in this lovely communal space and have access to all that it offers. This place is ideal for making plans with business partners, writing scripts with friends, or just getting together for some time away from screens and computers. This place is tailored toward bringing diverse people together into one place to sharing ideas and stories with each other. As for the coffee and baristas both are fantastic. Cappuccino rocked me off my behind all day cuz I'm used to watered down crappuccinos from Starbucks. I love this place. This is where I bring friends that love good coffee and a peaceful conversation.“

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

“I had a great time to stop by before I went to school. The parking was hard to find but there is ton of street parking! It was a really cute place to study and chat for a bit, it’s definitely a traditional tea house for tea lovers! My friend and I got the suiteki matcha powder for our drinks! It’s was really good! If you want sweetness, I would definitely ask the barista to help you with the choices they have ! Great customers, atmosphere was amazing and it felt like being back in Japan again !“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“Love the Pink Latte just as much as I loved my experience with the Manager Sam. Great staff, wonderful service. ill definitely be back.“

“Gris Azul Café is a cozy spot that serves truly delicious, homemade-style food — it feels just like homemade. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy a comforting meal. Tucked away in Koreatown, this café is a hidden gem. I walked in with no high expectations and was pleasantly surprised — everything we had was excellent. The cappuccino was perfectly crafted, and the matcha lavender latte is my personal favorite. Their toasts, like avocado and fig ‘n’ bacon, are also delicious. The latte art adds a special touch when dining in, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back to this place!“

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

“I ordered a Barrio Latte and a fresh juice, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and rich with a hint of sweetness, while the juice tasted fresh and natural. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and unique flavors.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it a great place to sit, work on a laptop, or catch up with friends. If you’re exploring Boyle Heights and want something different from the typical chain coffee shop, Ülëw Coffee & Juice is definitely worth checking out.“

“Small space, but vibe is good.

Andante coffee comes with sweet cream top. It’s a bit sweet, but not too much.

Ube latte is made with purple sweet potato extract. It was very sweet, so I added an extra shot.

French toast was served on well-toasted brioche.
Berries were sweet and fresh.
Organic maple syrup provided. I couldn’t really tell difference between organic and regular, but flavor was fine.

There is usually wait on weekends, and indoor space is quite small.
There are few tables in back.
Drinks come out relatively quickly, but food takes bit longer.“

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“It is a beautiful Caffé the statistics are pleasant, and the coffee is delicious. My kids enjoyed the matcha mando and strawberry. We tried the orange late that was my first time tasting, and it was impressive to taste the orange without compromising the coffee tones. Simply wow“

“Hands down the BEST small coffee shop experience in LA! Tasty coffee and matcha lattes alike, coupled with a super friendly owner + employees as well as a wall full pictures of dogs who’ve visited (of which my cavapoo is proudly featured), makes a welcoming experience I will frequently go back to.“

“Today I tried a new sandwich for me, the Italiano. I expected a good sandwich but was pleasantly impressed how yummy. Their coffees and teas I always enjoy.“

“Damo truly never disappoints!!
I’ve been going since 2024, and I safe-keep it for the right peeps who appreciate good cafes. And this year I came back with my friends so that they can taste and experience what good matcha is like. When we visited this Jan, we got the matcha eispanners. My friends truly tasted the quality and balance of flavors presented in their drinks. We sipped till it was gone!! Instantly!! From their eispanners, lattes, and affogatos.. quality, taste and overall flavors is immaculate. Of course there’s always going to be a line and yes it’s crowded inside. You literally have to claim a spot once it’s open or else you loose your chances. Once you do, all you got to do is sit, sip, and relax to the minimalistic atmosphere that is Damo.

Latte: 8.5/10
Affogato: 10/10
Matcha Eispanners: 9.5/10
Atmosphere: 7/10“
