Federal Coffee

Great corner w/ pink aesthetic to match the instagramable vibe the venue is going for, but unfortunately the quality of the coffee and service does not match up. only would come here if i was desperate, and that’s pretty disappointing cause i live around the corner. Wish the business well and hope for improvements.

I really appreciate this spot. Solid coffee for starters. But also one of the only spots in West LA open past some of these silly 2 or 4 PM close times. Still waiting for a spot I can work in a great environment inside until midnight and still get good espresso, but I'll settle for this for now. They're open until 5/5:30 or so, depending on the day, I think...which still makes a difference.

Also, easy parking on the neighborhood street for a few minutes while you grab your coffee and split if you're in a hurry; though maybe that gets busier in the morning times (my morning routine takes me in a different direction from this spot).

Update: I guess they have winter hours. Not sure if it’ll become permanent or switch back by the time summer rolls around. We’ll see. But understandable, I guess. Still looking for something later, but also still grateful this spot is here.

Great little local spot; any occasion buying coffee that's not from a behemoth chain is a good one. Street parking, but usually space, and decent food, though could do with more options (only pastries ok offer when I visited).

Caution, hispters tend to love taking selfies here with the mural, so steer clear if this bothers you.

Visited LA over the weekend and went for a morning walk to this coffee shop along Pico Blvd. Nice and relaxing outdoor seating invites coffee aficionados to enjoy sips of their favorite drink. Tried their Oat milk Latte, Macchiatto, Vanilla Latte and their pastries. The Macchiatto with a double shot of espresso topped with cream will get your morning started. You might want to follow that up with a more subdued large Vanilla Latte, which is what I did. By the way, they also have vegan pastries and they're 👍.

Cool coffee experience. Great selection of tasty pastries and yummy coffee. This place has cool vibes and awesome customer service.

Love that they're going with a different spin, and that different spin is basically "coffee, but pink".

Nowhere to sit inside afaik but lovely staff.

Coffee looks cute with the pink color but the taste is pretty mediocre. Maybe I didn’t order the best thing on the menu.

A cute coffeshop to chill, have coffee and pastry. The little outdoor sitting area is perfect for those LA sunny days.

Cold brew is mediocre. Chocolate croissant has been consistently dry even when I arrive before 8am. Service leaves MUCH to be desired. One of the baristas in the mornings has been consistently rude.

Very lame that they upcharge 25 cents for light ice and 75 for alternate milk. I only came here bc it’s only 5 mins from my house and it’s the only non-SBX around. After three unpleasant occurrences w the Bowl Cut, I’m taking my business elsewhere.

Federal Coffee is a bright and delicious addition to the neighborhood. Good coffee and friendly service with tables outside.
