What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I finally stopped by Barclays Coffee and Tea and honestly… I’m mad at myself for not coming sooner. This place checks so many boxes for me: great food, incredible drinks, and live music. I ordered their Turkey BLT and wow it was really well done. The turkey was fresh, the bacon added the perfect crunch, and everything tasted balanced and satisfying. Not dry, not overloaded. What really elevated it for me was pairing it with their chipotle dressing. That dressing deserves its own shoutout. Smoky and a little bold. The perfect compliment to the sandwich. Now let’s talk drinks, because Barclays absolutely killed it in this area. I had their white chocolate dulce latte after having it recommended to me from the employee. Saying it’s perfect for those that like their lattes on the sweeter side. WOW wow wow. Easily one of the best lattes I’ve EVER had. That is saying a lot because lattes are my favorite sweet treat. I get them all the time and have tried more than I can count from different cafes. This one stood out immediately, perfectly smooth, rich without being heavy, and just the right level of sweetness but also being able to taste the espresso. Not overpowering, not artificial tasting just cozy, comforting, and expertly made. I will definitely be coming back for this alone. I also tried their raspberry mango Fresca refresher, and it was amazing. Super refreshing, light, and not too sweet at all, which I really appreciated. The fruit flavors were bright and clean, making it such a great option if you want something flavorful but not sugary. I was impressed across the board with both drinks. Seriously! Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere here is something special. The cafe has this old-school, rustic charm with beautiful wooden furniture that feels warm, welcoming, and timeless. It’s the kind of space that feels relaxed but intentional. Makes the perfect spot for catching up with friends, working, or just enjoying your coffee slowly. And then there was the pianist! Something I definitely did not expect. Such a nice, unexpected touch. Hearing live piano music while sitting in the cafe instantly elevated the entire experience. The music was amazing, calming, classy, and added so much character to the space. It truly made the visit feel unique and memorable, not just another coffee stop. The service overall was pleasant and the staff was kind. While everyone was friendly, there were a few small moments where the flow could’ve been a bit more seamless. Nothing that took away from the experience, but with a little more attentiveness, the service could easily match the high quality of the food, drinks, and atmosphere. Overall, Barclays Cafe completely impressed me. From the thoughtfully made food and standout drinks to the cozy rustic vibe and live piano music, it’s the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cafe with heart, quality, and an experience that goes beyond just coffee. ☕️🎶"
"Super chill community coffee shop vibe. No corporate machine feels. Nice staff. My wife, who used to work at Starbucks, said their spiced chai tea latte is in the top 25%. Art and other things for sale."
"Local spot in a bustling shopping center that my partner and I like to visit every so often. Good drinks (highly recommend the Lavender Peach Refresher!), and decent snacks and treats (the pastries are always decadent!). What's particularly special about this place is the cozy atmosphere paired with art from several different local artists for sale. In a place like LA, finding quiet, relaxed environments to enjoy at a slower pace, surrounded by community creativity is always something to celebrate."
"My first time coming here and its a super cute atmosphere, very relaxed and chill vibe which I loved, like its very cozy. My iced vanilla latte is delicious and the service was so friendly, what a sweetie. I will definitely come in here when waiting for my son in the future. It's adorable inside here, they play good music and my iced latte is perfect 👌"
"We stopped here on the way to work. The vibe is very cute, cozy & warm. I got the iced lavender & vanilla latte. Very fragrant and okay, nothing crazy. My sister in law got a hot tea. They have a ton of options and jars with tea leaves lining the back wall so I’m sure you can mix up something good. The staff were really nice. They also sold little things like crystals, tote bags, jewelry and hand made items. It’s a cute little local gem and if you’re in the area it’s a cute little spot to have some coffee. We would go back if in the area."
