50 Best Coffee Shops near Valley Glen

“The nicest people And the best boba on earth“

“I had been hearing about Boba tea and seeing it on Instagram,but never tried it until I got to California. I LOVE the mango flavor with the Tapioca pearls that look like blueberries! I asked for the most popular flavor and it did not disappoint! I will visit them again when I am in Cali!“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“This place is incredible, highly recommend! Amazing drinks, atmosphere and people! Kava is an excellent alternative to alcohol and I loved the Green Goblin drink which is a combination of Kava and Kratom. You can't find anything like it anywhere else! Check it out and enjoy!“

“We got their matcha and coffee lattes. The service was great and so was the vibes inside. Most of the drinks were a bit too milky, except for the Bloom Matcha latte. You can tell from the color of the drinks. The flavors were really good, we loved the gingerbread flavor and lavender syrup.“

“The Amsterdam Cucumber Mint Lemonade“

“Found this cool spot on a late winter morning on a weekend to LA. This is what you want a coffee/breakfast spot to feel like. It says take your time we’ll be here when you’re ready, no long cues or lines, a succinct and palate friendly menu. The welcoming large communal table near the entry way with a group of patrons enjoying both the company and their coffee was reassuring and created a wonderful vibe. I had the brisket breakfast tacos, perfect, tortillas were warm, the hash browns the perfect consistency, the eggs fluffy and a beautiful co-Star to the in-house 14 hour brisket, perfectly seasoned and unctuous, the hatch chili salsa a perfect acidity and compliment to the package. If you’re in the area or looking for a morning “hug” Bolt Eaho is for you. Mahalo for the perfect start to the day. 🤙🏽“

“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!“

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

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

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“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.“

“FYI they are not serving avocado toast anymore but I got ham and cheese croissant, warmed. The parking was full but I found a spot on 5th and Virgil ave. My flat white coffee was great and the fastest I ever got from a craft coffee place, it was done in 2 min even though the place was busyyy! Everyone is so hardworking and sweet, I'll come back if in the area :)“

“Of the 3 cafes I went to, this one was still open in the heavy rain.

Very cozy, warm, dry, and inviting. Umbrellas have a place and service is kind. Glad I made the short trip to get the Dalgona Latte extra sweet. Perfect for this kind of weather. 10 outta 10.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“**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!“

“This one scape has the perfect coffee balance and such a cool vibe. The staff are super friendly and really know their stuff when it comes to coffee. The bathroom is spotless, and the interior is stylish and modern. Definitely the kind of neighborhood spot I’d want to come back to again and again.“

“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!“

“Love this place. Their latte and drinks are delicious.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“We drive all the way from Santa Monica a lot! Rain or shine. It is worth the drive and their Tres Leches Latte is the best I’ve come across in LA - hot or iced. Love that it is a small business - support local! They have great seasonal drinks too.“

“friendly staff- awesome coffee - great hangout“

“I will never come to Burbank without visiting Lou's on the block!!!! These croissants are as good as any in Europe and I am constantly dreaming of when I can get down here and get more. Thank you Lou and staff!!!“

“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.“

“Just THE best ice cream you'll ever taste and with an Italian name like Freddo it's actually the Argentinian style. And that's why MY favorite is Dulce de Leche Granizado with the Italian Cone or sugar cone we like to call 'cucurucho'. Once you'll taste THAT, you'll know what real ice cream taste that. Only then, you could call it 'helado de Freddo' like WE do“

“Neighborhood coffee shop with a really warm and inviting atmosphere driven by the service from the staff. They’re all really lovely and kind people who are making really good espresso drinks. They do a great job executing on classic espresso drinks. They also like to experiment with creative flavors for specialty drinks — I think they hit more than they miss, but I also want to say that I appreciate that they want to push the envelope and try some drinks you aren’t going to find everywhere (I’m thinking of the chamoy apple latte as an example).

The space is a little small but whaddyagonnado. I really appreciate the love they bring to the drinks! They have a small case of pastries but AFAIK they aren’t doing like food options.“

“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.“

“Great, friendly crew and delish food“

“Awesome place great food. Great people love the homemade items.“

“This place is fantastic! Amazing atmosphere and big outdoor seating area. The donuts are huge fluffy, not too sweet just absolutely delicious. My personal favorites are the strawberry milk cream donut and the Einspanner Latte. Highly recommend stoping by this cute shop.“

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)“

“My bf & I have been coming here for going on 5 or 6 years now & aren't gonna stop bc this place is just that good & way better than any boba shop around!! The owners are very kind, sweet & have a great memory bc they know our orders by heart & other customers as well lol The drink I get too was bc I came to the owner asking him if he can make this drink I tried at a convention & he made his version which was wayy better. I love this place & will continue to recommend & show people 💗💗“

“This eatery is a quaint jewel among others. The staff greets you with a warm and welcoming smile, and they are kind, caring and attentive. The food is delicious and tastefully presented and we keep returning to enjoy another meal.“

“Just like its name, the venue did give that picnic vibe with array of seats outside, went along with the vibrant and bright colors venue. Very limited seats inside, but good thing was most people came and go briefly.

Plenty of unique-flavored pastries were there, and I tried their Passion Fruit Kouign Amann that the barista recommended as his most favorite from the showcase. I made the right decision following the suggestion as it's simple yet delicate. Crispy buttery texture, complemented by sweet and refreshing passion fruit cream. I did wish there's more of the cream, as it's just at the center top.

As I was craving for hot coffee, I opted for their Spanish Latte. I initially requested them to make it without cayenne as it's called out as one of the ingredients, but they told me it's just very little that you might not even taste it. It was surely true, I loved how my Spanish Latte wasn't overly sweet, perfected by the hint of cinnamon, and I could have it with almond milk for free substitution!“

“Cute and peaceful atmosphere with delicious menu options and fast service. The strawberries & cream matcha and goat cheese + spinach croissant were very good! The books are available for rent or purchase. Street parking only. Vegetarian and dairy-free options.“

“We Puffy Heart Fan Girl Cafe“

“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“

“Loved the vibe and coffee was good. But they need to sort out the syrniki recipe - it was absolutely raw inside and this is not how it’s supposed to be, especially when you charge this much for it. Maybe other items in the menu are better but I wasn’t lucky.“

“Cute little coffee shop. I've gotten their matcha, a sugar free vanilla latte, and the cold brew so far all are delicious and smooth, also not too sweet which I love. The seats are super comfy and the wifi works well too. Couldn't want anything more :)“

“In a neighborhood full of cute coffee shops, bricks and Scones might be my favorite! Super chill with lots of seating in the garden area amongst plants and trees. Great place to study, read, of hang out.

We didn’t try the food menu, but the scones were delicious. The lemon blueberry was our favorite!“
