Chai is great and not too sweet. Loved the cashew milk as well.

Equiano is an excellent establishment. A friend recommended them to me when I mentioned that I love a simple cortado. Sure enough, Equiano served me the best cortado I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy. And they've done so many times over. The menu is simple, and the coffee's flavors are beautifully complex. The location is shared with a multipurpose art gallery/community gathering space that feels warm and cozy for the soul. The owners are friendly and well-integrated in the local community. Thanks Equiano!

Great espresso and nice outside seating. Barista was friendly. Highlight of the day! Bonus points for playing actual cafe music and not some random pop radio station!

Gloria and Okon are the nicest people to chat with and they have the best coffee ever! We love their Mochas made with a chocolate ganache they make themselves- Yum!! This is a beautiful and peaceful space to sit and sip on the weekends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Equiano Coffee: A Whitaker Treasure ☕️
Equiano is one of those rare spots that just feels right the moment you walk up. Tucked in the heart of the Whitaker District, it’s more than a coffee stop — it’s a daily ritual for locals who know good people and great coffee when they find it.
The crew here is incredible. They always bring good energy, remember your name, and make every visit feel personal. It’s the kind of genuine hospitality that keeps you coming back, cup after cup.
And the coffee? Next level. You can taste the craftsmanship in every roast — rich, balanced, and full of character. Hands down the best roaster in town. Every sip reminds you that passion and precision live here.
Equiano isn’t just serving coffee — they’re building community, one cup at a time.

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. Beans masterfully roasted on-site and homemade cashew milk (at no surcharge)! What's not to love?

Nestled in the Whittier neighborhood, they serve great coffee and expreso. Very friendly and knowledgeable owners.
Enjoyed the unique facility, location and service. Espresso was rather sour, indicating the brew temperature was too cold for the particular coffee. Perhaps it was cold weather today, but if not the barista needs to increase the temperature at which the espresso is made

Small coffee shop. Sunny day, so outdoor drinking. May be indoor seating if inclement weather. Great coffee.
