What People Are Saying
from Google"Amazing coffee, even better atmosphere. This coffee shop has a warm, inviting vibe that makes it easy to stay a while, whether you’re working, catching up, or grabbing a quick cup. The espresso is consistently rich, smooth, and expertly pulled every time flawless crema included. It’s the only spot I trust for my beans, and the quality never disappoints. The atmosphere and staff make it feel like more than just a coffee run it feels like a little daily ritual I actually look forward to. Highly recommend to any espresso lovers out there."
"I have been coming here for years and it has always been great, good people, food and service. Recently asked for a latte and got some premade drink from a draft. I asked for a new one made like a real latte (shot of espresso with milk) and got so much attitude from this one barista (girl with glasses, brown curly hair and never smiles to clients). I ended the conversation by thanking her for the new drink and walked away because I didn’t want to continue fighting. I come back today for a latte again and she yells at me. I have never been treated so badly by a barista ever. There’s one guy who works there (with a mustache) an absolute sweetheart, smiles at everyone, asks how your day is going, I mean the nicest person, he needs to train her because she is awful to paying clients. Never going back there, too bad because besides her, the place is great."
"From the moment you step into this Silver Lake spot, you can tell the team takes coffee seriously — the craftsmanship at the bar is full-on attentive and precise. The beans feel premium and freshly roasted, and you’ll pick up on subtle flavor notes in every sip. The baristas are genuinely knowledgeable, walking you through origin, roast, and brew-style like they’re passionate about it (because they are). The space itself is modern yet relaxed, with indoor and outdoor seating that invites either a focused solo session or a casual catch-up with friends. The only minor drawback: it’s popular, so during peak hours you might wait a bit longer than you’d hope. But trust me — for high-quality coffee served by intelligent, engaged craft-minded baristas in a great setting, it’s well worth the stop."
"This is one of my favorite cafes to get out of the house and work at. It’s pretty busy in the mornings and not ideal for any working professionals- during that time. Mornings and afternoons tend to be a better spot to grab a coffee with a friend. If you are a freelancer like me and get to determine your hours, the evening 2-6 is prime time. The place calms down, you can find indoor and outdoor seating. I normally bring my headphones but the staff always have good music playing. The Avena Latte is your gal, if you like a little spice and fun to your latte, marry her, run away with this latte all the way to an outdoor seating. The quiche Lorraine and curry pastry are both divine."
"Super nice vibe and chill staff. Coffee is always top notch and consistent. Left my visa card there once and called an hour later and the barrista had it set aside for me."
