“If this hasn't been written yet, this shop has incredible coffees that is worth your frequent visits. If it's any testament, Frank La is the 2024 United States Barista Champion. Coffee and hospitality is incredible, it would actually be a mistake not to come “
“This has become my happy place for so many reasons! From their delicious coffee to the dreamy atmosphere and friendly service, Alana’s offers a place of solace for both working as well as kicking back. Featuring their roaster in house for all to enjoy, the passion for their craft is undeniable. For being such a popular spot they manage to encompass a small community feel simultaneously.The coffee is on point, not too bitter, no nasty after taste, beautifully presented and prepared, and consistently flavorful. You can enjoy their coffee at home with their bagged options they’ll ground on the spot for you to prolong freshness, not to mention to the optimal specifications for your coffee making method (again, passion for the craft).Every experience here is a delight, so sit inside and vibe or take in the beachy air outside, and enjoy some terrific coffee or tea!“
“This place is great. The coffee is good. The beans they sell are fresh and great. The pastries are good. There's seating. There's parking. The people who work here are super nice and remember regular customers' orders. No notes. It's perfect. Go.“
“I absolutely love the cozy ambiance of this coffee shop! The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The baristas here are not only skilled at crafting the perfect cup of coffee but also friendly and attentive. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a quiet spot to work, this place has got you covered. The diverse menu offers a range of coffee options, from classic brews to creative and delicious specialty drinks. The comfortable seating and soothing background music make it a great place to unwind or catch up with friends. Overall, a fantastic spot to savor the simple pleasures of a well-brewed cup of coffee.“
“I recently stopped by the coffee shop in South LA, and I have to say, their cafe de olla left quite an impression. It was a delightful experience, with the coffee being not only delicious but also incredibly smooth. It's safe to say that this spot is a hidden gem in LA, and I'll definitely be returning for more of that amazing brew.“
“I recently tried Stereoscope's pour-over coffee, and I must say it was top-notch. Their specialty coffee selection is truly exceptional. One of my favorites is the Guatemala, which offers a delightful blend of flavors including strawberry, grape juice, heavy body, and fudge notes. The brewing process and attention to detail really shine through in every sip. I highly recommend giving Stereoscope's pour-over a try if you're looking for a premium coffee experience.“
“Delicious Quesa Tacos! Must try if you're in the area or craving savory food. I had the steak and Al pastor. Their tacos alike their burritos are served with pickled onions, lime and chilitos. I can't wait to try the birria next time you won't regret it.“
“There’s no shortage of coffee stands in DTLA but my coworkers and I all tried different drinks and all loved this place the best. It’s a little hidden as it’s tucked away in the lobby of a beautiful building but well worth seeking out. This place is my new favorite.“
“03/26/2024 my first time visiting this coffee shop the employees super friendly and welcoming They are cool and they give me good advice for coffee and what's popular They have all kind of milk just if you have specific order There's street parking and rear parking too The coffee shop look vintage super clean , smells fresh I got chocolate scones with cold brewed coffee with splash of half& half My friend got iced cold brew coffee with almond milk And Cinnabon so good“
“Canyon Coffee literally shook my world. My brother and I were visiting from Florida, doing what we always do - in search of the BEST coffee shop experiences imagineable. Canyon blew our expectations out of the water. We were greeted by the coolest cat, Carlos, with a bold, yet incredibly friendly stature. He knew the menu like the back of his hand. I landed on the eloquent “Hot Japanese Brown Sugar Latte”. LIKE WHAT!! Craft of the craft, one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. Yes, “my bro and I are twins”, I told him. Little did I know we were about to be served a delectable slice of perfectly baked Banana Sesame bread made by a local queen. Impressively moist. Yep, I said it. From the time we walked in, we felt like we were home. A pleasant experience all the way around.Dialed in coffee. Amazing service. Great chats. Insanely styled atmosphere. Food was unreal. Phenomenal experience. We will be back for more… one day. Bring this to Florida asap please.“
“Tony the store manager took great care of me. I came in aggravated because my old machine wasn't working and had been back and forth with Nespresso phone customer service twice. I was ready to retire my use of Nespresso but assuming the new machine works as it should, they've regained a dedicated customer, thanks to Tony.“
“I've been here twice and I love Matcha! They know how to prepare it very well and it is of very good quality. Furthermore, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very calm. It is very nice decorated. It is definitely one of the best in the sector.“
“Very friendly staff but understaffed. So we had to keep asking/reminding them for orders not brought out. The code was also cold which is a bummer because otherwise it would have been really good. The food was good but my male coworkers complained the portions were too small.“
“I was looking for a place to do some studying and a friend recommended Verve. It’s a nice spot to just enjoy some tea and do some reading. There are a lot of people who seemed to be working, and a small group just there to socialize a bit. Everyone seemed respectful of the environment. You can pay for the tea once and get a couple steeps, which I thought was a nice touch. I’ll be back!“
“I love this coffee shop. Their iced vanilla latte is amazing. I would highly recommend it. Also the service is very good. She greets you every time you go in and knows you by name. She already knows my order when she sees me coming in the shop "the usual" (shows you how often I go haha) overall very cute coffee shop with great service and amazing coffee. Highly recommend it.“
“I enjoyed my coffee here. I got a basic latte and it was as expected but was good. It was busy but I found some seating in the bench by the wall. The sunlight when it hits make the space really nice but sometimes was a bit hard to see. There was a decent amount of seating though and the space was quiet and nice for getting work done.“
“First time I visited this local area & Verve Coffee in LA. Foods was good & Coffee was great.My favorite Coffee is Verve from Santa Cruz.Here I was thoroughly impressed . Products & collectibles available. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly.Overall, a must-visit here.I have now visited all 4 branchs in the US -- Successful Missio! 5/5 Stars ?“
“I asked, "how did you end up choosing coffee as your passion?" And he replied, "I wouldn't call it a passion, it's more of an obsession." I told him it's the best coffee drink I've ever had, and he said that "it's not perfect yet, I'm still chasing the perfection." Can't wait to keep coming back to be able to drink his "perfect" drink.“
“The superfood coffee from here is next level, had me feeling like Bradley Cooper in Limitless lol.. I’d probably get it everyday but in the name of fiscal responsibility I also got some coffee beans to make a slightly less potent but still tasty cup at home ?“
“Came by on my way to fidm and it was so tiny. The person taking my order was so fast and he turned away and then handed a drink. He didnt ask for a name so i was confused if it was mine or not but in conclusion it was LOL i got a chai latte and it was average. I dont think ill be back again“
“My friend parked near the park entrance and then we walked to the shop. The draft oat milk latte was the stuff of vegan dreams (been vegan since 2011, who would’ve thought this would be life in 2024!). I will be back every time I’m in LA.“

“This was a solid coffee shop I popped in for a black coffee and a mocha and this hit the spot. I'd say the mocha was better than my coffee but they still used a high quality bean for my coffee. Great if you're in the area and looking for a Starbucks “

“The store has been around for 30 years. They roast their own coffees and they have many great selection, including the un-roasted ones. I bought Indigo after reading a review, and it is a strong aromatic coffee for espresso. I really like it. And so does my partner. They also host an baristas class sometimes (check their web) which I someday should attend :) Tips: bring cash for a discount. They give you 1 to 5 bucks (depending on size) discounted price for customers paying with cash“
“Got a latte made with almond milk it was average no complaints but, a bit overpriced for what you get. They have some nice outdoor seating, as well as some indoor. It’s very busy because the country mart is a great fun spot. I would probably just get a coffee and pastry from the farm shop which is no less expensive but I like it better. I will have to try their croissants in the future, they looked good.Also not that it is any doing by the cafe but the parking is free with validation but it was filled up like it usually is on the weekend and a spot opened and they told me I could only valet it for an extra 5 bucks which seemed odd.“
“Our new favorite spot in Glendale! We ordered a barrel aged almond milk latte and the bourbon old fashioned which were both phenomenal. The bourbon whiskey notes were amazing. The baristas were also so friendly and welcoming which made it an even better experience.Definitely can't wait to be back!“
“Coffee + bagels = Best coffee shop ever!It was a great experience. They make their begs in house. The coffee was fantastic! 1802 had enough room for sitting and outlets. Great place to work, study, and chill.For the all the Filipinos out there! 1802 is also Filipino own. Support your local bayan.“
“Got a classic latte it was pretty good. The almond milk is an extra $2 which I think is a bit much. They had some tea cakes that also looked good but were pricey as well. The service was friendly and is a nice spot. Also outdoor seating provided and they have some more eating options like avocado toast etc.“
“Everything about this place is great - I walk here from my apartment at least 3-4 times a week to start my day. All of the staff members are wonderful and the coffee is always *chefs kiss*.I feel like the only thing missing is a “sit down” atmosphere. I would love to be able to come sit inside and work for a couple of hours to start the day. Couple hours of work, couple coffee and a baked good… then I’d come everyday, no questions asked. But regardless - one of my favorite places in town!“
“One of the best coffee shops in LA. Cafecito cubano con leche is one of the best I’ve tried so far. It’s strong as well as smooth at the same time. And tres leches muffin was just delicious. Highly recommend coffee aficionados to check out and try this “

“The stars of the shop were the two gentlemen working the bar. They were so so kind, they greeted everyone who walked through with a huge smile on their faces and were kind and helpful if we asked questions. I came on a Sunday so I unfortunately couldn't see the little shop they're next to but, the coffee shop itself is still so cute with big windows & plenty of seating. We got some pastries. The savory chorizo-filled type pastry was so delicious! Their cold-brew is fantastic!! Drinks are not that sweet so if you're into sweet stuff, beware. My friend wished her latte was sweeter. I got a cold brew latte without sweetener and it was the best cold brew I've had in LA. The two gentlemen from earlier deserve a raise!!!“

“I go here to buy coffee beans and have their espresso every time I go. The beans are very good except their decaf beans which I didn't like all that much. They serve espresso with sparkling water and a piece of chocolate which makes my day. However I have also been to the Culver City branch and I felt that one is just better when it comes to espresso.“

“Absolutely delicious mocha with lovely 'latte art' (but I missed a pic)! It wasn't too sweet even though I didn't say "half sweet" like I have to elsewhere. My spouse's cortado was delicious. Our pup even got a little cup of frothed milk & lapped it all up. We got the Rico burrito & it came with yummy molcajete salsa and creamy verde sauce. The barista - from Sydney - was friendly & the server was very efficient. We'll definitely stop in again next time we're in the area.“
“A cozy place to get some work done. They have a few tables for outside as well. The coffee is good and they always seem to have new concoctions. I tried the Abuelita Latte with oat milk, tasted like my childhood hehe the right amount of sweetness and creamiest latte you'd want. 10/10 They also carry a variety of pastries for about $7. All in all a great addition to Culver City coffee scene“
“Absolutely delicious coffee roasted right down the street and wonderful food made on site each morning. It smells wonderful before even walking in. I got the mushroom sandwich and it was such a great touch to have the arugula dressed with a vinaigrette... I'll be trying this upgrade when I make a sandwich next time! I also got their in house dirty chai which was fantastic and a cold brew. 10's across the board. Super kind people, and comfortable environment with cute bistro tables outside too! Dog bowl for water outside as well :)“
“It's a good fit for Brentwood. I enjoyed:* my cold brew* my citrus olive oil muffin * the outgoing service * the location * its sparkly space* Brentwoody energy - it gave me a good dose of exactly what I was looking for I did not love:- the unusually loud music when I was trying to concentrate; it didn't seem fitting I'm not exactly running back, but I'd possibly return...WITH my noise-canceling AirPods.“
“This location is so cozy & adorable + the interior design is so lovely!! The staff is kind and they prepared my toast super quick. The manager at this location is also awesome! Their presentation and aesthetic is so clean. I loved working here on a quiet weekday, it was super chill. I also LOVE their Ginger Turmeric Latte, it taste like chai but has no caffeine! The D'Lox toast was super fresh, tasty, and filling. They also sell local refrigerated snacks. The ingredients taste fresh so prices are fair for the ambiance & quality of the food. I like love they're women-owned and they source m their coffee ethically from women-owned farms!“
“Around 1 o’clock on March 18, 24?I visited the LA company before seeing the mural at the recommendation of my brother!It was nice to be able to park for 2 hours free in front of the cafe!The staff was friendly and it was nice to be able to see the roasting in person!Because we changed seats, the staff had a hard time finding us (looking around, looking around).The warmed bread is so delicious!The coffee was all delicious too! The cup is also my favorite color!!This is a memorable cafe from my first trip to America!“
“Here just a few days ago. Love their coffee and the pastries that they have available. They hae indoor and outdoor seating. Great service from the staff!Parking: They have a little lot on the side where you can park or you can find street parking, just mind the signs!!!“
“Came at 8 when they opened before stopping by the flower market. There wasn't anyone here and I possibly though they are running late or wrong hours ? I waited about 10 mins to walk around in hopes someone came and right as I was ready to leave someone came to open, thankfully. I order a chia which was good, the barista was sweet to let me try the concentrate. Their concentration is good not too spicy and has a licorice touch but when it was made into a latte it lost that good flavor. Next time I'd ask for a little more chai but that is my preference I orders an shot of espresso on the side to taste the body and flavor without the mix of the latte.good pulled shot As much as I wanted to only give 4 stars because they didn't open on time, I would be doing wrong because there is not context, maybe an emergency or some business issue who knows but life does happen. I will say when the barista come, she came in quick and got down to it. The area needs a place to just drink coffee and I'm glad they are here investing“
“I was not expecting this to be a full menu cafe but it is. Gorgeous location with more than enough seating and atmosphere and so much more than simply coffee! I stopped in for breakfast. Great coffee & pastries! I shall return for lunch soon!“
“this is my favorite location. The place is so tranquil and I love their “HOOVER WILDERNESS” ? ? patio area. There’s nothing like being surrounded by plants ? I had the turkey sandwich which is made with croissant bread (had the perfect balance of softness), their Coquito ? iced drink (it’s like a horchata vanilla twist drink❤️) and the chai latte (he best chai I’ve ever had?!)“
“Whether it's for personal, business or for any other type of use, these guys have the right coffee for you! I work for a vending company and we only use their coffee. They have all kinds of ways to use, vend packs, single serve, restaurant style, flavored, freeze dried, whole bean, literally every style and easy to serve it. Including for your k cup dispenser. Try them out and reap the benefits!“

“I tried La Colombe for the first time today and they did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly, and the service was great. I ordered an iced americano, it was slightly on the bitter side, which I like. I could taste their high quality beans. I will be back to try other drinks next time I'm in the area.“
“Not sure if the name came from what I'm about to say, but this cute spot has a compellingly good iced coffee. Sometimes you find a good cold ice coffee and after a few sips it hits you "Wow, this is fantastically good coffee!" I had one of those moments today after ordering. From what I saw it's street parking only. However, I was able to park on the street for free before 11am on Sunday! Score!“
“I didn't know La Colombe had a coffee shop until today while I was in the area for business and spotted the sign. The building is so beautiful with brick walls and greenery, the outdoor seating area is very cute, there is some indoor seating as well. The wood tables and chairs add a lot of character to the place. Their cold brew was delicious without any aftertaste or high acidity. They have variety of drinks including specials. They also sell canned coffee in case you want some to go. I also noticed they had a few croissants left and some cookies so I'm assuming they sell freshly baked goods as well. Customer service was ok. Overall I liked the vibes of this place and will add it to my favorites.“
“As a long-time admirer of Café Kitsuné from afar, I was over the moon to discover that this Parisian gem had found a new home in Los Angeles. Café Kitsuné effortlessly brings a touch of Parisian elegance to the West Coast/ From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by an ambiance that perfectly captured the essence of Café Kitsuné's charm. The sleek and modern design, coupled with warm hues and subtle French accents, created a welcoming space that felt like a stylish escape from the hustle and bustle of LA. The Yuzu iced tea was my favorite thing I tried. Can't wait to return back.“
“Excellent coffee with a lovely, quiet patio filled with beautiful succulents. There are great options for coffee nerds who want to taste single origin pourovers. Our hotel was about a 12 minute walk to Alana's. Had I not convinced my husband to try some new places, he would have gone here every day.“
