I came to get a bag of Local Natives beans. The band said the bags would be sold at these stores. When I got there, they said they only sell the beans online. Okay so I drove all the way here for nothing. I also was hoping to sit down and do a little work with a coffee, nope, no seating or tables. They have a few benches outside, no tables. The cappuccino was delicious though, with nice latte art.
Great cold brew. Best I’ve had in LA.
5 stars despite the lack of indoor seating and tables outside amenable to working on laptops, because the hojicha latte and hojicha affogato are just so excellent. the affogato has the most divine balance of the sweet vanilla icecream and the savoury roast from the hojicha tea. i could have three of these, easily. they carry great niche chocolates also, and the cookies are perfectly nutty, crumbly, and buttery. the cookies are also some of the best ive had and i will be back for more.
The best. The end.
I used to love this coffee shop and I thought the prices were worth the immaculately made drinks. Then, one time, I had a drink that I have ordered several times before, and it was not made right. I had a few sips and I had a few friends who are also familiar with the drink try it to confirm there was too much syrup. So I took it back and kindly asked if they could remake it. They weren’t thrilled I asked but to make it worse, they would only “remake” if I paid for an entirely new one with a 15% off discount. The problem was not that I disliked the drink and wanted a new one, the problem was they made it wrong to their standards in the first place. I cannot believe for a $7 coffee they would not make a regular customer happy with their order! I hope the $5 they saved on not making me a new coffee was worth losing a customer forever, this review, and me telling my friends.
Cute little café at the end of the busy side of York Blvd. They're still taking COVID precautions so you'll probably see a long line since only 5 customers are allowed inside at a time. I got the Kumquat Tonic w/ espresso and my wife got the iced New England latte. There wasn't much seating outside the café so we bought some donuts down the street at Donut Friend and sat at a children's park next to the café. The tonic was definitely on the acidic side, but when I paired it with the donut, it actually tasted pretty good. The New England latte was on the sweeter side but was good regardless. I didn't buy any, but the coffee beans that they were selling were pretty varied and were all roasted within the month. I went on Mar. 25 and most of the beans were roasted on Mar. 10, so the beans weren't the freshest, but I would definitely buy beans from here if I needed some.
Expertly prepared beverages served with a precise, modern, beautiful aesthetic. Loved the espresso tonic. They sell a nice selection of coffee beans too. A go-to spot in highland park.
Go-to for good espresso when in LA.
One of the most unique coffee spots in LA. They source coffee from amazing roasters across the country. They are also a great spot for any at home coffee making needs. Great pour over and some unique espresso drinks!
Great selection of coffee beans and friendly staff. Looking forward for them to change to April brewer
Good coffee, bad service, staff is miserable
Good coffee but doesn’t warrant the line is not warranted. I did enjoy the croissant. The outside area is uncomfortable as well. The sun never quite hits in the right way and the chairs aren’t too comfortable. Go to park instead. I prefer a bloc over this spot.
Pretty much the best coffee in L.a. IMAO
Roomy. Tasty. Bagel shop nearby. Check, check, check.
After hearing countless amazing things, I decide to finally give Kumquat a try. When I arrived I noticed a line outside which then I knew something was about to be good. The coffee shop is super cute and everyone was so friendly. Me being from Nashville, I had to get their specialty drink the Tennessee. When I took that first sip I instantly smiled. It was so full of flavor and the coffee tasted very fresh. Added to my favorites list and I will be back. :) Highly recommend!
Excellent espresso despite cloying hipper than thou.
There’s a reason they’ve been named best coffee in L.A. they have a great selection of drinks along with some food options as well. I really dig the Asian style touches some of these drinks have though I wish they would attempt to add and create new drinks on the menu after a year or so. There’s also very little seating so most of the time you just pick up and go. I tend to like to sit and relax to enjoy my coffee (especially when it’s this good) so it’s a shame you can’t sit inside yet. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.
Best coffee you’ll ever have. Gesha pourover is a must.
I really liked this place but they still have severe restriction on the number of people allowed inside to order and no inside seating. So we joined a few other customers sitting outside in the cold. The coffee was ok. I like their creative selection.
I have been looking forward to visiting this cafe since I first saw my favorite youtuber talked about it. The line was already long when I got there at 930 in the morning on a Sunday. I appreciate the store encourages everyone to wear a mask and allows only five customers inside at once. I got what I always get at a new coffee shop, latte with whole milk. the coffee is just slightly bitter but overall, I still really enjoyed the latte. I can’t wait to come back to try their other items! The next ones on my list are hojicha latte and the plum green tea!
