The place has a good vibe, good location, and excellent service. Perfect for work. Pastries are also good. Coffee isn't perfect, wouldn't say it's specialty coffee, but it's very good. We asked for a late, which came with a nice latte art, and a macchiato, which has been properly prepared, using only foam on top of the espresso shots.

Love the atmosphere in this place! Not too loud and great coffee. Not sure if they still offer it, but they had outdoor seating for a brief period and I truly enjoyed that.

Great Architecture and space - Coffee sucks - I ordered a triple shot cappuccino and no kick - delivered in a small paper cup - Staff not engaged - I prefer supporting local joints but always go back to STARBUCKS -

5 Stars just for being Black owned. 10 stars for the best coffee in the area.

Vanilla bean latte is my favorite, not too sweet and just really good. Rose latte seems popular but it was just ok in my opinion. The coffee beans are great for pour overs at home.

Great coffee! Delicious and big pastries. Love the wood and rainforest vibe this place gives off. Full of plants and fresh air. The coffee is full bodied and taste great. Blueberry muffin was scrumptious. Loved the decor.

I drink decaf. I know. It happens. The scent of my Americano was divine and the taste was smooth. This place is chill and the baristas we're friendly. Direct Fair trade with proceed percentages going back into the communities where the beans come from.

Great coffee. Only issue was when I went outside, tripped, drop my coffee went back inside ask for another coffee and got charged another five dollars. OK it was my fault but any other place would’ve given me a free coffee. Not coming back, not recommending

Thursday Goals: Hot Latte and Cold Brew and look busy until the weekend gets here. Lol. Without further ado, let’s begin this new review. Silverback Coffee of Rwanda is a coffee shop that offer great coffee and ambiance. Furthermore, it has an inspiring story that you will truly admire. What I like the most about this coffee shop besides their drinks was Jack’s, founder/owner, vision and mission especially for Rwanda and its wildlife. This store is located in Echo Park by Sunset blvd. Also, they have one other store in DTLA’s Art District. I arrived on a sunny morning; I was warmly greeted by one of their female barista. It’s interior infused by Rwanda culture and wildlife. Moreover, it has an exposed brick wall which gave the inside a more prodigious look. It has a wide space (~2,200 sq feet) where one can walk freely without invading other people’s territorial space. I perused their coffee list posted on the wall; they have wide variety of drinks. I ordered the Silver Lining Cold Brew, a Silverback Mocha Hot Latte and a plain croissant. They carry regular (8 oz.), medium (16 oz.) and large (20 oz.) size cup. My Silver Lining Cold Brew was smooth and sweet; Hot Mocha Latte was brewed perfectly and flavorful while their plain croissant was puffy, soft and of modest quality. Service was fast and efficient. Prices were average and competitive for the area. Staff were amiable, competent and followed health protocol. Free Wifi available. Street metered parking and public parking lot were available. Collectively, these make me conclude that I truly enjoyed my experience, drinks and its atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this coffee shop and will definitely come back again.

This place is amazing. The profits really go to the women of Africa that work on the coffee farms. Learn the history by asking the employee, they will explain everything and there is a story of the background on the counter.

This is an incredible coffee shop. My new favorite in Echo Park! The quality is top notch and the staff is great. If you live in Echo Park please support this local business.

best coffee in LA! strong, rich flavor with balanced acidity. I got the Vanilla oat nitro cold brew and a vegan orange chocolate chip muffin. And my partner got a salted caramel cold brew and the soy chorizo breakfast wrap. All of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Good vegan/vegetarian options. Might have just found my new favorite coffee shop, we’ll definitely be back soon :)

Amazing! The coffee is rich without being too acidic, the shop is beautiful and clean, and the story behind the shop and mission of Silverback Coffee is touching. Highly recommend this small business and will definitely be back for some beans to go and a tasty cappuccino!
