Pros: delicious coffee and food. They make a lot of sauces in house. Great, positive work force. Parking is easy. Seating is generally available to work or read.

Cons: hard seats (wooden benches, metal chairs, wood seats). Outlets are scattered and not guaranteed. This could easily be fixed if the Coffee shop invested in some extension cords and strip cords.

Neutral: This is a pricier coffee shop (example $7 specialty latte+tax, but it is delicious).

**If the owner reads this comment, please consider adding extension cords/strip plugs underneath the wall seats. Also consider getting some comfier seating or cushions.

I'd say this place is one of the better and consistent coffee shops in LA area. During my first visit, I tried the Spanish latte and Vietnamese one. Both were very tasty. Not too sweet with smooth, balanced flavors. I'm very particular about my espresso as I don't enjoy it when it's too dark nor too light as it usually becomes too acidic.

I went for a second visit couple of days later. This time I got the plain iced latte. I have to say they also did a fantastic job with it.

So far I have tried several of their food options (toasts and sandwiches). I'd highly recommend them to go with your coffee. The prosciutto is very good, the avocado toast is well balanced, and the blueberry toast is very refreshing. I also had a chance to try the Italian sandwich. It was basically the prosciutto with another bread on top.

All in all, I'm glad there's a place like this within the area. I'd be visiting here a lot more often.

Absolutely perfect espresso and perfectly steamed cortado (aka Gibraltar or Piccolo). The hot cocoa was also a hit. Clean and unassuming space, nice and cool interior on a hot day. Great, competent staff, no annoying forced enthusiasm. My kinda place!😍

*** I saw a review complaining about the temperature not being hot enough. Having your espresso machine hotter than 200 makes bad espresso, steaming the milk over 140 explodes the nitrates and changes it from delicious, sweet perfectly structured steamed milk to a gross scalded mess that can irritate people’s stomachs. Stop trying to ruin good, properly crafted espresso you monster!

I think this coffee shop is aesthetically pleasing, typical Instagram-centric design. The shop has lots of seating, both indoors and out when the weather permits. Not a whole lot of outlets (I counted three), so if you're there to study, you might be out of luck if it's busy.

They serve Klatch coffee, which is awesome. You hear that, coffee snobs? They got your coffee! I've been here twice and both times, they didn't have several things available that we wanted. The first time it was the cold brew. I don't know how you're a coffee shop with no cold brew in the morning too. It's not like you had the opportunity to sell out before we came in because you weren't open for more than a couple hours. This second time was today when I wanted their Blueberry Toast (freaking delicious, BTW- can't believe that's part of their kids' menu) and they didn't have cream cheese. Later the same day, a couple different customers came in wanting to order things and I overheard the same, "Sorry, we're out" or "We don't have that right now." As a consumer, that's a little frustrating.

I was surprised to find that their Blueberry Toast was as tasty as it was beautiful. It is described with a "hint of mint." I'm not sure if they intended on that to mean the little bit of fresh mint leaves they stuck in it or there was supposed to be a light, minty taste to it (there was none). Either way, absolutely delectable. I know I got lucky because blueberries aren't always such but when I got my toast, the berries were humungous and plentiful (unfortunately it doesn't show up that way in my photo) and super sweet.

I was also pleasantly surprised by their Mango Habanero Roasted Beef. I'm not usually impressed by sandwiches I get from most places but this one was perfectly balanced with the delicious lightly toasted bread, thinly sliced beef, the sweet and spicy mango jam, the Swiss and arugula. It was hearty without being heavy.

Their Matcha Latte was so weak. Pale and nearly flavorless. I was so disappointed by it. My daughter loved their London Fog, although she had to tell them to cut the vanilla in half because it would've been too much for her otherwise.

I like that you're greeted immediately when you come in but it's never by that girl with the short pixie cut hair. She's not very friendly and I don't particularly like dealing with her. Look, I get it it- I don't like people either but if you choose a job where you know the description includes people interaction, then fake it. Smile, pretend that you're nice and friendly. Just having to place an order with her feels like you're bothering her to do her job and coming from a restaurant management and customer service background, I don't appreciate that sort of tired attitude.

The vibe of this place bothers me. The perfect example was that there was a middle-aged couple at a table next to us. You could see they were one of those slightly hoity-toity, fussy people, total WASP vibe. They ordered a bunch of stuff between the two of them, sending one thing back to be remade because the lady didn't want the cheese, blah blah blah. They ate and left, leaving a mess on the table, which again, coming from a restaurant background, is a non-issue. It's an eatery; people are going to make a mess, deal with it. However, when the two female employees came over to clean the table, they were clearly displeased about the mess (which wasn't terrible, trust me; I've seen a hell of a lot worse). The one with the short pixie cut goes, "OMG, really?" with the Asian one laughing and nodding in agreement, "I know, right?" Pixie Cut follows up with, "What? Were these people raised in a barn?" O-KAY, TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR THERE, BUDDIES. That was not all right. My table was right next to that one. I could clearly hear the comments without even having to try.

If not for the weak matcha and even weaker customer rapport, I'd give this place a solid five stars.

Music is inconsistent if that matters. Coffee.jpg is figuring out what direction they want to go as a coffee shop. Capitalizing on quality and supporting local businesses is a plus.

Finding a good coffee shop in a small town is easy. As easy as getting an A+ on gym class.
Coffee. jpg is a small coffee shop on Sierra Madre blvd. Inside was
very spacious with few decorations and furniture. They have decent coffee list and food items on their menu. I ordered a cold
brew coffee and it taste as
good as or even better than Starbucks. They only have one cup size (16 oz). Prices were fair. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. And they were following health protocol. Front outdoor table/ seats, Free wifi and street parking are available. Overall, I had a good order experience and cold brew coffee. I highly recommend this place and will try some of their food next time.

Cute little local coffee shop with super friendly service. I got the iced vanilla latte made with real Madagascar vanilla beans, and I thought it was decent. I also bought a jar of their unique black sesame butter. 😋👌🏼

The best vanilla latte I have had. Not overly sweet, so the flavors of the coffee and the fresh vanilla come through beautifully. I love when a drink is actually thoughtfully crafted with quality ingredients!! You can taste the difference.

Espresso was sour, staff unfriendly. Bathroom is moldy. Glad I tried it so I know not to go back.

Staff is very friendly. Coffee selections are culturally diverse which sets it apart in the neighborhood. Food options also extend beyond pastries with plenty of healthy options.
