"So much potential. Awesome community center idea. Great location - open late. But the people who work there are a downer. I don't know what the deal is but it's bad vibes. Is it that hard to smile and ask somebody how they are? Especially when you're gonna charge them over market price for extremely mediocre coffee? Extremely unwelcoming. And I believe the point of a neighborhood community coffee shop is to feel welcome? I lived down the street for three months and I just stopped by again and I'm like bro what is wrong with you? I'm not coming back. I hope you guys pay attention and do better ."

"I finally made it over today after dropping kids off to school and arranged a vendor meeting here. Clean, warm and soothing interior. My Cortado was good (should have got a double shot!) Service was great and I'm stopping by for breakfast next time. Their prices are the lowest in the neighborhood, the high school kids love that. They support our community 100%, I thank you for that. I am definitely going back."

"The ROCK Coffee House on Townsend Avenue is a tiny coffee shop that serve coffee and tea. Its interior design and layout are modest albeit limited space. Atmosphere is very chill; music isn’t loud so you can focus on your reading or work/study stuff. What I like about this shop is they support Rock’s community programs. I came today to grab an Iced Coffee. It’s perfect way to stay cool in a very warm LA summer. Barista was cool and professional. Menu items are decent. Seats are comfortable. Service is on point. Collectively, it’s a nice lil coffee shop. And I highly recommend this spot."

"Been coming here for a long time - pretty much since they opened. I was looking for a location to film a short that I was directing. I came in to get coffee and fell in love withe their "loft"-looking location, friendly staff, and even the rec center next door. The owner Stephen and I have been friends ever since and he gave us a good rate to film here. Coffee are terrific and they also have some tasty food items! They play good music too. The central wood-slab table even has grommets where you can plug in your laptop and charge your usb devices while you work. It is also never super crowded and you always feel welcome. The rec center just next door (enter through coffee shop) also has tutoringn for students and Zumba classes. They also show free movies on some Fridays with free popcorn. There are chairs and comfy sofas there too so you can sit, relax and get lost in your laptop as you work. Cannot recommend this place more! It is my ALL-TIME favorite shop! - Neil"

"Ordered a medium Vanilla Latte, $5.50. Asked if I wanted regular Milk, I said I’ll take Oat milk. $7.00 plus $1 tip, $8 total. $1.50 extra for Oat Milk? Sorry but I won’t be coming back."
