"I was looking for a place to work and enjoy the morning. I’m so happy I found Holy Grounds. Their ceremonial matcha is delish and the breakfast sandwich is yummy not too heavy. The outdoors area with the soothing fountain was perfect for working on my new Somatic and Sound Course. I will definitely come again."

"I have been coming to the Holy Ground Cafe for almost 5 years and spent thousands of dollars and have recommended this place highly to my friends and family and for the first 4 years its been great food, great coffee, and great service but in my recent visits over the past 5 months I noticed a decline in food and coffee quality and more importantly in the service. Out of 85% of the time I have visited in the past 5 months it almost seems like I’m a drag to the baristas, no greeting no smile pretty much a stare of disappointment when I walk in. Prices have also gone up a bit which I understand but I don’t know if I wanna pay 7+ dollars for an ok coffee and slightly warm food especially when it seems that the staff would’ve been happier if you would’ve stayed home or gone elsewhere. I have never experienced this in the past but I did notice almost if not all the staff is new the old staff and service I will always give 5 stars but the new staff needs to get it together there are tons of coffee shops around this area including where I live that will be getting my business for a while and maybe in the future I will stop by here again and see if anything has changed. The vibe and atmosphere is great with the backyard patio area but when the vibe of the staff is bad not even a peaceful waterfall can put you at ease and feel welcomed."

"I have been driving by this place for OVER A YEAR. So excited to try it I finaly was able to stop by. The service was slow. I waited about 10 min to get my matcha. I ordered a large matcha with vanilla. I could not even asked them to fix it becaue i felt bad asking then too. I took one sip and it didnt even taste anything. It was just light colored green milk with a hint of vanilla. I do my best to aways support independent coffee shops. But man this makes me not want to. Because theres a higher chance my drink will taste like nothing. Super annoyed. Won't be going back."

"Gorgeous place to grab a coffee, with great breakfast sandwiches too. Every little detail has been thought of, right down to the tile work where you stir in some cream and sugar and dispose of your cup. The atmosphere is amazing, staff are friendly, they sell work from local artists, and are even queer and trans friendly. The fountain on the patio along with petals from overhanging flowers petals dropping down onto the tables and ground below seal the deal to create an absolutely stunning oasis in LA. Pics are from the Christmas season - as a Dane it made me smile to see a few julenisse on the shelves 🥰 EDIT: I found out from my therapist (who’s Latino) that what I assumed were julenisser are actually duendes!! Apologies for not learning more about this before I posted. Excited to learn more about duendes"

"How do I start? I usually dont like to leave bad reviews especially for small businesses but I have to in my neighborhood and this is a direct message to the owner... Aside from supporting local artists and the ambience the service was poor today, not hard to be friendly, especially when there are not many customers. Secondly, me and a friend came in, he ordered a cold brew which he told me was bland, terrible and also almost watery. I ordered a iced coffee which I specifically asked to add milk and when received I got a black coffee. When I asked the Barnstable for milk I got a (why are you bothering me look) and to my surprise the coffee was worse with the milk, I could not taste any coffee, just an almost watery milky hint of coffee flavored drink. How do you mess up coffee at a coffee shop?"
