Groundwork Coffee Co.

Second visit here in 9 years. I came in as a break from exploring the LA Metro. Good place for a break. I like the atmosphere. Real travelers venue.

Overall this is a really nice spot to study or work from. There’s many spots inside and outdoors to sit at and pretty quiet here. I couldn’t give 5 stars unfortunately because I came in at 2pm on a Friday and they were out of Avocado and Matcha which is basically 2 things I live for, but I settled for something else. Got an iced chai latte and it was really good. Pretty pricey.

I loved the aesthetics of the place. Nice quick spot for some coffee, snacks, and study. Got their cold brew poured into my canteen. I would definitely come back just to read/study. The only thing is, it's by the metro station, so it's mostly for people who use the metro to commute and possibly stop by for something while they wait. They do have some outlets, too, which i do like for electronics.

The staff was quick, friendly, and well dressed. A big plus for first impressions for any shop.

A landmark stop. The staff are very friendly and they do a good job keeping the place running even at busy hours. The food is delivered and there are so many healthy options on the menu. The vegan tacos on the menu were so good that I can't wait to go back and order them again.

Cool trendy looking place. Great customer service. Coffee is okay, but thats coming from a non coffee drinker. Also theres only one restroom which is terrifying and outside basically open to the public. Lastly a BIG note for the owner, for people who have celiac please separate the Gluten free food from the non gluten free because people can get sick. Gluten free products should always be separated or packaged. THANKS

The best caramel latte and the almond croissants in NOHO!

I believe customer service is very important in an establishments and truly draws the customers to come back. I came here for the first time on May 9th at 9AM. The cashier who was wearing a yellow hat and gray sweater was very rude, was making faces, and was not helpful as we asked questions or made modifications to the order because of our 1 year old.
There were also no high chairs available for our son.
Don’t recommend you come here if you want to eat breakfast. We ordered a burrito, sandwich, and avocado toast and it took 30 minutes plus with only 4 people in the place. Will not be returning

Great coffee shop in what used to be a train depot. They tried to keep it as original as possible with seating area on the platform as well as inside. Great coffee and a good place to get work done. Park on the street around the corner by the park for four hour parking.

Great food, good coffee in a very nice venue with outdoor seating. Its counter service but very well executed and quality. The prices are really good for the food and service. Well pulled espresso if you like drinking it straight. This place can be easy to miss as there is only one sign at the top of the building, which is an old train station. There is plenty of outdoor seating with a cover which makes it very pleasant in the full sun.

There were a lot of reviews mentioning the unsanitary bathroom, but I decided to overlook that and try it anyway. Well when I went they did not have a bathroom for customers *at all*. This shop is not small, they serve food, they are free standing, and have no arrangement with another business to share their toilets. So how is this okay?

I cancelled my order and the employee looked confused. Well come on! Don’t you know what coffee does? What are all these people supposed to do when it hits, this is not a to-go place where everyone is picking it up in the run, people sit here for a while. Not to mention washing hands.

If a shop this size doesn’t give access to a restroom, they need to shut down until they do. That’s gross. 0 stars.

I went to Amp right up the street, which had coffee, pastries, and a very clean bathroom. I would recommend them, or Horror Vibes. Or any other self respecting coffee shop where you can be hygienic and not suffer a bellyache.
