"This cafe has been closed for over a year now. Any good recent reviews are lies. From what can be seen: limited menu, 1hr of free parking, no laptops allowed inside. Coffee Connection was amazing, but Awaken Cafe seems too "woke""

"One of my favorite coffee shops in LA Super inconspicuous vibes from outside! But soooo roomy inside. Has indoor seating, outdoor seating, and an area of in between. Affordable, delicious coffee (still 4$ for a small latte- I'm down!!! 4.75$ for medium - but other places easy charge $6+) What we got: ancient Mayan, cinnamon latte - I tried my friends cinnamon latte and it was too sweet for me; like dessert in a cup! So I decided to ask for the ancient Mayan half sweet w/ decaf. Half sweet was the perfect amount of sweet. It was spectacular & the chocolate flavor wasn't too strong. Some places charge extra for decaf (!), so I'm happy this place didn't Lots, lots of people seem to come here to work/ read/blog life. More so than chat. Very calm, peaceful vibes! Service was also super, super sweet. My friend told me some of the proceeds go to a church, or something like that? Cool place to check out! I parked on the street in front since it was a holiday, but I was told there's a lot across the street you can park at."

"Delicious! I tried the rose bud (matcha with rose syrup) and my husband had a cold brew. Both were super tasty. Staff is very friendly and they have such a cool patio (??) style space. Also super reasonable pricing vs other spots we visited, and just as good!"

"this place was so cute! perfect to hang out with friends and do work. they have a free parking lot, and lots of seating but it does still get packed. they mainly have heat up foods but the breakfast empanada i got was good and the ancient mayan coffee i got was amazing. pretty fairly priced compared to most coffee shop places in LA. thanks to the service for recommending it to me. will be my go to whenever go to culvery city!"

"Incredible coffee shop with an incredible indoor/outdoor seating area with a tree covering the entire patio. I’ve never experienced something like that before! This cafe offers delicious drinks with vegan milk and many different sweetening options at affordable prices. I really recommend going there!"
