50 Best Coffee Shops near Valley Glen

“The nicest people And the best boba on earth“

“**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!“

“I've been there with my sister a couple months ago. We had Filipino iced coffee, matcha affogato and matcha cookies. We still can't forget the flavor of the drinks. Filipino iced coffee is our core memory of our trip to USA. The best coffee we've ever tasted.“

“Stopped by Be Bright Coffee and ordered a cortado made with their Colombia Paola Trujillo Wush Wush Natural. The coffee had tasting notes of blood orange, red currant, honeysuckle, and tart cherry juice, which made it a really interesting coffee to experience in a milk drink.

The cortado itself was very well executed. The milk had a smooth, creamy texture with strong integration, and the body remained cohesive throughout most of the drink. As I worked my way through it, the espresso and milk continued to hold together nicely without developing a thick or separated layer of foam. The tasting notes had good clarity and came through well in the milk. The latte art could have been a little cleaner and more defined, but that’s a minor presentation detail and didn’t take away from the quality of the drink.

My main technical feedback would be the temperature. It was served just slightly hotter than I think it should have been. The flavors were still clear from the beginning, but the difference became noticeable as the cortado cooled. The coffee really opened up, and those fruit-forward characteristics became even more expressive and enjoyable. Starting the drink at that slightly lower temperature would have made the experience feel more dialed in from the very first sip.

I gave Be Bright four stars, and part of that comes down to the $10 price of the cortado. At that price point, I think the expectations naturally move into a different category. When you’re paying $10 for a cortado featuring a coffee like this, I’m expecting the execution to be as close to perfect as possible. The slightly higher serving temperature, along with the minor presentation detail, was enough to keep this one from reaching that level for me.

The customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the person working the register was especially nice and made the experience feel inviting. Overall, it was a very good cortado with quality coffee behind it, and I’d definitely return to try some of the other beans they offer.“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“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“

“Project Bloom Coffee is a charming little spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The pastries and drinks looked fresh and appealing, and the friendly service made the visit even more enjoyable. A lovely place to unwind, grab a coffee, and indulge in something sweet.“

“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“

“Daily use of their matchas!“

“Love this place and all the seating options. I only have 1 complaint which is the menu wording - “+ your choice of milk!” makes people assume alt milk is free when it’s 50c extra. We already know we have choice of milk!! just include it in the price or take it off the menu lol“

“Grade A+ (96): Small little kitchen, don't know how much food can come out of it!! They have a small little sitting area, but we most often do it as take out. The Jambon Beurre (Ham and Butter) are my favorite, the Baguette 🥖 is awesome and they put a hefty amount of butter and French Ham very thinking sliced. The Ham & Cheese and the Chocolate Croissants are very good but you have to go early, by 12:30 they were sold out! The guys are very friendly, prices are a bit on the high side but what can you do, it's unique.“

“I always wanted to stop at this coffee olace and try it But never had the chance finally stopped. And walked in Beverly Hills and had their coffee. I took an Ice Cappuccino and it was phenomenal. My new favorite cap in town. Will be back for more items soon.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“We were visiting LA from Canada and love the Pura Vida in Miami, so we were really happy to find this here in Beverly Hills! The food and coffee were fantastic just like Miami. The service was excellent, they went above and beyond to welcome us.“

“*This is a cashless operation*

I walk in and 무풍상태 by Happy End Plus Alpha is playing. I think to myself someone here has great taste in music.

Three guys are standing behind the counter and all three instantly greet me and are super friendly. Explaining the menu and what they think I should try.

I took their suggestions and went with it.

All of their coffee has at least 3-4shots of espresso so be prepared to be full of energy.

Sorry I didn’t get a picture of the menu I was too busy in conversation with the baristas.

This place is easy to miss and pass by.

If you’re headed down Sunset and see that little green building make sure you stop. This might be one of the best coffee spots in the area.“

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

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

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“I just want to say that ADAM that works here is truly a gem. He is the sweetest and kindest person and I wish there were more people like him in the world. I love you Adam! You made my night! Thank you Adam for making my experience so amazing and unforgettable! Also, obsessed with the potstickers here !“

“I loveeee this place!!! definitely one of my fav matcha spots ever! the service will always be one of my favorites as well :). ive tried all of their matchas on the menu and my favorite is the banana cream matcha. all of their syrups are made in house and taste sooo good!“

“I LOVE this place! They have happy hour from 3pm-6pm on the weekdays, but the best part is Joy the amazing Barista! She is very nice and will always make your day! I get so much school work done here! 1000 stars!“

“I've been wanting to visit Pam's Coffy for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance.

At first glance, the whole place feels very Tarantino. Colorful, vintage, obscure movie posters, CRT TVs playing VHSs, and about 50 empty cereal boxes.

The menu leans into that cereal sugary sweetness. We got the banana pudding latte and the captain crunch latte. They were delicious, but definitely more like desserts. On the way out, though, I grabbed a drip coffee, which they keep ready in old-fashioned diner style Bunn carafes, another fitting touch.

The pastry was pretty good, and you can also get bowls of Captain Crunch which is super fun.

If you're a Tarantino fan, or even if you're not and you like dessert-y coffee, er, Coffy - give this place a shot. You'll have a good time.“

“This restaurant is amazing and I cannot wait to come back. Perfect spot for dates and seeing friends while enjoying incredible izakaya cuisine. Our server, Allison, was very insightful about the menu and made sure our experience was lovely & very delicious.“

“One Scape is by far one of my favorite coffee shops to visit. It is such a relaxing atmosphere. All the baristas are extremely friendly and just amazing. If the coffee doesn't make your day, they will. If you are more so a coffee drinker their cold brew and hot lattes are great. If looking for something sweet or coffee alternative the pine refresher is a must and they can always adjust the sweetness. Definitely a place to stop by and stay awhile.“

“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 💋“

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

“I got lunch delivered from them for the first time today and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to try the brisket, but they were out so I ended up with the steak sandwich and they were really apologetic and nice about it and even tossed in some extra freebies in my bag. I can’t speak to the atmosphere since I was not there, but the food was so good. I will definitely be visiting in person soon.“

“This place was hands down, the best breakfast spot you could ever choose. We tried a variety of options: avocado toast, Nutella & banana croissant, banana and pb toast, and a bagel sandwich. Every single thing was 10/10. The coffee was somehow EVEN better. Best coffee I have ever had!!! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“I wasn't having the best day when I walked into Boba Sound in Koreatown. I was frustrated, irritated, and honestly just not in a great mood. The moment I walked in, however, I was welcomed by Kelly, whose smile was as bright as a cloudless morning sun.

Kelly was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. I ended up trying the honeydew smoothie with lychee jelly, and it was absolutely delicious—I highly recommend that combination.

What made this visit special wasn't just the drink. Within a couple of minutes of interacting with Kelly, my entire attitude and outlook had changed. Her kindness, charisma, and genuine thoughtfulness made me feel seen and appreciated. She seemed to sense I wasn't having the best day and went out of her way to make the experience better. She even gave me the little bit of smoothie that was left in the blender, which was such a simple but thoughtful gesture.

Great customer service can completely change someone's day, and that's exactly what happened here. I'll definitely be coming back—not just for the amazing smoothies, but for the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere.

If I'm anywhere near the area, Boba Sound will be one of my stops. Kelly deserves recognition for the exceptional experience she provided. Five stars isn't enough—I would gladly give 20 stars if that were an option.“

“The most important element to me when reviewing a coffee shop is the coffee. Good Intentions serves up 5-star coffee drinks. The first sip gave me that wow feeling and brought a smile to my face. The service was courteous and a peaceful. The atmosphere was bright and what you’d expect at a small coffee shop. It’s definitely a spot to put it on your coffee shop rotation list.“

“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.“

“Damo’s Strawberry Matcha is absolutely amazing—beautifully presented, delicious, and totally worth the hype! 🍓🍵 If you’re in LA, it’s a must-try. Bonus points for having free parking, which feels almost impossible to find in Los Angeles!“

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

“Congratulations on 10 years!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I enjoy a specialty coffee shops.. and this one hits the spot just like their coffee and pastries...
Was on business travels and enjoyed walking 2 blocks over to this place for great espresso.. great service with gentle kindness (we need more of this in this current world)... and a great banana loaf perfectly moist and size and well balanced sweetness. I came three times in three days. Thank you Lena.

Nice seating outside for people watching and ample room for morning or afternoon breaks...inside seating aswell.. cozy and comfortable.

Thank you. I shall be back next time im here on business again. Soon.“

“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!!!“

“We Puffy Heart Fan Girl Cafe“

“엘에이에 가면 커피마시러 가장 먼저 가보고 싶은 곳 💕💕💕“

“Very good cafe, horchata latte was awesome and so was the izal smoothie! They ran out of an item and very kindly substituted it for us. Hello kitty pancakes were very light and airy but still had a crunch on the outside. Exceded my expectations 👍🏼“

“Their specialty coffee and matcha drinks are both fantastic, and I often pair them with one of the pastries. Everything is fresh, and the staff is always happy to warm up baked goods, which makes them even better. The shop itself is cozy and welcoming. Seating can be limited during busy hours, but that's a testament to how popular the place is. It's more of a grab-a-coffee-and-enjoy-the-vibe kind of spot rather than a place to spend hours working.“

“Solid local coffee spot with tremendous vibes. The interior is real neat, plus I dunno if it was intentional or not but I ordered a drink for myself and my lady friend, who wasn't there, and the barista put my drink in a black cup and hers in a pink cup. Just sheer genius. I think she registered I said it was for my female friend so she did it on purpose but either way, mad good.

The maple latte is real nice, good coffee with maple syrup is always the best. Would get again.“

“Stumbled on this place by myself! The owners were so sweet and attentive. Feels very cozy and clean. A great place to post up for work.
The coffee was delicious and the food was right up there with it. I got an off menu salmon tartine that she recommended and then treated myself to the pancakes. Delicious and will come back!!“

“Far too packed inside, makes for an extraordinarily loud and less than pleasant dinning experience. Better to eat on the patio, not on the street. The food portions are a little lackluster but the options are expensive. Get water and your drink for there are too few servers to attend to timely refills. This is the type of place you would expect to have carafes of juice and personal pots of coffee but nah, cant be bothered. Cocktails are whats on one of the two menus, so that accounts for part of the noise, too.“

“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.“

“If you’re going to the Academy Museum for a visit or a screening make sure to stop at Fanny’s (located inside the museum’s first floor) for a coffee, snack or meal. They have a cafe and restaurant, both offering quality food and beverages and a full bar. The restaurant has comfortable seating options and the cafe offers outdoor seating. The service is friendly and attentive. You’ll definitely have a great time and a good meal!“

“i think about picnic’s strawberry matcha everyday… i recently moved from california to nyc and this is still the best strawberry matcha i’ve ever had. i used to get in every week in LA and cannot wait to have it again whenever i visit“
