The Boy & The Bear - Coffee Roastery

Great coffee
Staff friendly

Really great coffee spot, a go-to when I head to/from LAX. Spot on americanos and lattes with solid pastries.

Very delicious mocha, and their pastries are really good. Especially the croissant and the guava cheese pastry. Menu is just for coffee, but they always have pastries available next to the register that are 6-7 dollars each. A bit expensive (I got two pastries and a mocha and it ran me 23 dollars), but they are good.

Great coffee and great pastries. What’s not to love?

10/10 croissants!!

Dunno how this coffee shop has such high reviews. Bought 2 cups both tasted awful and the "Barista" was some snooty kid that exuded this nonchalant disdain for me as a customer. Will never ever buy here again.

Ordered a vanilla oat milk matcha and a chocolate croissant, $17 dollars for the two feels inappropriate. The quality of the croissant IS LITERALLY a burnt piece of bread with a croissant texture on the top only. It LOOKS super good on display, but that is it. It tastes burnt and is not layered at all. The matcha tastes a bit odd as well, not gross but certainly off/different. Perhaps it's the syrup, as they informed me the matcha powder is ceremonial grade. The staff was friendly enough, but it seemed my questions and hesitation on ordering right away annoyed them a bit. Overall the experience was fine. Kinda hard to make bread taste offensive, tho I did not finish this pastry as it didn't taste good and the texture was bad. For $17 dollars, I will not be coming back. The quality does not match the price in my opinion.

The house Colombia & Brazil had a sweet aroma: ice cream & caramel with notes of chocolate & strawberry. Nutty body. Their emerald series blend-Alvaro & Gerson mora was the brightest coffee I've ever had: Chocolate, lemon and a hint of pomegranate notes. Absolutely no bitterness on finish. Perfect dial! The decaf had notes of lemon & sugar, a bit of bitterness on the body, & a nutty finish.

Very cute coffee shop, not too busy for a Sunday morning. Also, nice ambiance and a decent amount of seating.

I had one of their single-origin espressos as I was waiting for a flight. It was one of my favorite shots I’ve had in a long time: great flavor, neither too bitter nor too acidic

It’s a good spot for a grab and go. I tried working there since I was in the neighborhood for a few hours, but it wasn’t very work friendly. Coffee and croissant was great. It was attached to a large apartment building and parking was street parking.

One of the best lattes i have tried. The latte also had a beautiful latte of art of Pegasus. The cafe also had good vibes. Good music. The AC was blasting so it was a little cold but I guess it is great place to cool down in the summer

Parking: Free street parking or apartment complex garage
