Coffee.jpg is an absolutely lovely coffee shop! The atmosphere was great to meet with friends and get work done. The London Fog and Smoked Salmon Tartine were delicious!

Im not going to lie to you as the main reason we visited this coffee shop was because of the name because i thought it was pretty funny. the barista was kind while taking our order and he suggested the iced strawberry latte which we asked for a little less sweet and its a good thing we did. it tasted really good and the small chunks of the strawberries really added to it as a whole. we visited on a saturday morning and there were a ton of cyclists piling in to the shop as soon as we walked outside which seemed like a cool hang out for them. im not sure if the parking behind the building is for this business or not as we didnt read the signs but we parked across the street because we were unsure.

Came in for a quick cup of coffee and pastry pit-stop on a morning walk with my dog and baby. The staff was incredibly friendly— even offering my dog a treat while we waited! My coffee was balanced and the assortment of pastries are unique and rotate daily. I definitely recommend coming by- I know I will be back!

If I had to describe this place in a phrase, itd be: coffee first, customers second. By default they only have one coffee size, 12 oz., for both hot and cold drinks (though it looks like you can explicitly ask for a different size, but the menu does not reflect that). Drip/batch brew is $4, cold brew is $5.50, espresso is $4, and lattes/coffee drinks range from $5.50-6.75. I dont know what the coffee prices are like around this area, and Im from out of town (Seattle), but these are among the most expensive coffee prices Ive seen outside of Las Vegas.However, Id be lying if I said their coffee wasnt good. If you like light roast, third wave, and artisan-type coffees, youll like this place. The drip brew today was a bright and flavorful washed Mexican coffee, well extracted with no hint of astringency. They have different coffees on rotation for pourover (which is priced at market price), but today it was one of their small batch coffees roasted by a local friend. This is one of the only places Ive seen that sell bags of Gesha coffee in-store (usually I only find these online because of rarity).They had coffees from 3 different roasters at their store for sale at this time. The bags ranged from $16-50 a bag (typically 12 oz. of whole beans), so Id say theres something for everyone, especially if youre looking to pick up something interesting. I really liked the El Paraiso Peach they had from Insomnia Coffee Lab ($33 for 12 oz.). They offer a free cup of drip or cold brew coffee with a purchase of a bag.Drinks: their seasonal strawberry latte is really good. Not too sweet, but kind of tastes like cereal milk after eating cereal with dried strawberries in it (in a good way - I recommend it if youre looking for something different!). See earlier for my notes on the drip coffee. They didnt offer the coffee with a sleeve on it and it was piping hot, so it was a bit uncomfortable to hold (though they probably would have given me one had I asked). Interestingly, they poured the coffee in an unlabeled, generic cup instead of one with a stamp or any other indication of this shop like many other stores do.Miscellaneous: the baristas were friendly and the service was fairly quick. There are about 6 small tables that could seat 2 people each and a bench area. There was a dog there, so it looks like its a dog friendly place. The place is fairly modern with little clutter and reasonable music volume, so it might be a good, distraction-free place to work. However, there is a Starbucks and 3 other bakeries in the local area that serve coffee as well, if this place isnt your style.

Id say this place is one of the better and consistent coffee shops in LA area. During my first visit, I tried the Spanish latte and Vietnamese one. Both were very tasty. Not too sweet with smooth, balanced flavors. Im very particular about my espresso as I dont enjoy it when its too dark nor too light as it usually becomes too acidic.I went for a second visit couple of days later. This time I got the plain iced latte. I have to say they also did a fantastic job with it.So far I have tried several of their food options (toasts and sandwiches). Id highly recommend them to go with your coffee. The prosciutto is very good, the avocado toast is well balanced, and the blueberry toast is very refreshing. I also had a chance to try the Italian sandwich. It was basically the prosciutto with another bread on top.All in all, Im glad theres a place like this within the area. Id be visiting here a lot more often.

Great coffee shop! Ive tried many of their coffee drinks and there wasnt one I didnt like. Also, the service here is exceptional--the baristas are so friendly and if youre a regular you will feel so welcomed here.

Finding a good coffee shop in a small town is easy. As easy as getting an A+ on gym class.Coffee. jpg is a small coffee shop on Sierra Madre blvd. Inside wasvery spacious with few decorations and furniture. They have decent coffee list and food items on their menu. I ordered a coldbrew coffee and it taste asgood as or even better than Starbucks. They only have one cup size (16 oz). Prices were fair. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. And they were following health protocol. Front outdoor table/ seats, Free wifi and street parking are available. Overall, I had a good order experience and cold brew coffee. I highly recommend this place and will try some of their food next time.

I think this coffee shop is aesthetically pleasing, typical Instagram-centric design. The shop has lots of seating, both indoors and out when the weather permits. Not a whole lot of outlets (I counted three), so if youre there to study, you might be out of luck if its busy.They serve Klatch coffee, which is awesome. You hear that, coffee snobs? They got your coffee! Ive been here twice and both times, they didnt have several things available that we wanted. The first time it was the cold brew. I dont know how youre a coffee shop with no cold brew in the morning too. Its not like you had the opportunity to sell out before we came in because you werent open for more than a couple hours. This second time was today when I wanted their Blueberry Toast (freaking delicious, BTW- cant believe thats part of their kids menu) and they didnt have cream cheese. Later the same day, a couple different customers came in wanting to order things and I overheard the same, Sorry, were out or We dont have that right now. As a consumer, thats a little frustrating.I was surprised to find that their Blueberry Toast was as tasty as it was beautiful. It is described with a hint of mint. Im not sure if they intended on that to mean the little bit of fresh mint leaves they stuck in it or there was supposed to be a light, minty taste to it (there was none). Either way, absolutely delectable. I know I got lucky because blueberries arent always such but when I got my toast, the berries were humungous and plentiful (unfortunately it doesnt show up that way in my photo) and super sweet.I was also pleasantly surprised by their Mango Habanero Roasted Beef. Im not usually impressed by sandwiches I get from most places but this one was perfectly balanced with the delicious lightly toasted bread, thinly sliced beef, the sweet and spicy mango jam, the Swiss and arugula. It was hearty without being heavy.Their Matcha Latte was so weak. Pale and nearly flavorless. I was so disappointed by it. My daughter loved their London Fog, although she had to tell them to cut the vanilla in half because it wouldve been too much for her otherwise.I like that youre greeted immediately when you come in but its never by that girl with the short pixie cut hair. Shes not very friendly and I dont particularly like dealing with her. Look, I get it it- I dont like people either but if you choose a job where you know the description includes people interaction, then fake it. Smile, pretend that youre nice and friendly. Just having to place an order with her feels like youre bothering her to do her job and coming from a restaurant management and customer service background, I dont appreciate that sort of tired attitude.The vibe of this place bothers me. The perfect example was that there was a middle-aged couple at a table next to us. You could see they were one of those slightly hoity-toity, fussy people, total WASP vibe. They ordered a bunch of stuff between the two of them, sending one thing back to be remade because the lady didnt want the cheese, blah blah blah. They ate and left, leaving a mess on the table, which again, coming from a restaurant background, is a non-issue. Its an eatery; people are going to make a mess, deal with it. However, when the two female employees came over to clean the table, they were clearly displeased about the mess (which wasnt terrible, trust me; Ive seen a hell of a lot worse). The one with the short pixie cut goes, OMG, really? with the Asian one laughing and nodding in agreement, I know, right? Pixie Cut follows up with, What? Were these people raised in a barn? O-KAY, TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR THERE, BUDDIES. That was not all right. My table was right next to that one. I could clearly hear the comments without even having to try.If not for the weak matcha and even weaker customer rapport, Id give this place a solid five stars.

Cute little local coffee shop with super friendly service. I got the iced vanilla latte made with real Madagascar vanilla beans, and I thought it was decent. I also bought a jar of their unique black sesame butter. 😋👌🏼
