Black Elephant Coffee (Atwater Village)

I do love Black Elephant for its consistency, but it's a bit pricey - a small (12oz) matcha cost $7 (adding oat milk was an additional $1 extra charge on top of that). I adore their peanut butter mocha, I haven't found a similar drink anywhere else. The drinks are rich and creamy but the espresso cuts through it to strike an excellent balance.

Nice vegan food and drinks. Good place to work. The decor is beautiful and the environment fits in well with the neighborhood.

Unfortunately I was never able to try their coffee as I placed my order and was forgotten about… not a big deal, we’re human it happens … however, it’s not ok that I was charged and then they were unable to give me a refund! I made my visit today (Wednesday 3/2) at 1:55 and when I asked for a refund she found the transaction and said, “your card number doesn’t match this transaction so I can’t refund you”… soooo I just paid 6.25 for a coffee that o didn’t get, that you know you charged me for??? Lol this has to be a joke?? But it wasn’t and I’m extremely disappointed by the service and how I was treated… was told to call back and talk to Gonzalo about getting my money back

Updated 4/16/22…. No where in my review did I say I tried to refund to a different card… obviously I realize you’re just a basic business that can’t get a drink right, let alone refund to a different card…. My attempt at a refund was using the original card (i say attempt because there has been no refund) and no I would not line a gift card, I will never return to your business… and thank you! I will have a beautiful day

Coffee was mediocre. Butterfly pea matcha latte stains lips blue and had some chunks of soft bluish brown things in the latte that may have been dark chocolate.

Great service and delicious coffee. I love their raspberry white chocolate latte !! It’s one of a kind.

First time here! Right down the street from my joba fra! Black Elephant Coffee was great. The people who work here are chill. Lots of space. Loungey. Patio is great when its not too hot/ cold outside. And lots of inside space as well! Will definitely come here more often!

Really good coffee and ambiance with nice people.

They charged us for coffees they didn’t make for us. Also told us they don’t make coffee after 4 PM when they close at 5 which makes no sense. The employees were not pleasant. No credit card reader—online order/payment online and the system is not user friendly.

Looking online, I thought this would be a good place to do homework. I was disappointed to find that their indoor seating is still not available, nor is their bathroom. It’s 80 degrees outside and and I have to use the restroom, so I’m unable to stay and do homework which is why I came. I will not be returning. I prefer to give my business to coffee shops that can provide the basics: a comfortable seat and a toilet.

I can't live with out my Caramel Latte, it a piece of heaven every morning. My husband and I Love this place!!!!!
