This coffee shop had a pretty decent sized menu and the coffee was pretty tasty. Customer service was really kind and helpful. The entire place is very cool and fairly large for a coffee shop. It's a good vibe if you are trying to enjoy a cup of coffee and get some work done. Speaking of that, when I went the entire place was packed and absolutely no seating was available so we ended up just leaving. This could've just been a one time thing, but nevertheless something to keep in mind.

This is such a cute coffee shop! It was packed when I came so unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy the cute patio section. There are tons of seats if you wanted to use the space to work or study. Also they have a discount for teachers and students which I think is really cool. The baristas were really nice and my drink was really good. Since it was busy I panicked and just ordered a vanilla latte instead of one of their signature drinks that all looked really good. My vanilla latte was good, not too sweet and balanced the flavor with the espresso nicely. I would definitely come back.

Great coffee with a discount for students. The courtyard is big and shaded so it's great for studying outside.

This is such a great place to get work and studying done, and I can't believe I haven't been until yesterday. I ordered the orange you glad with oat milk, which is an latte with orange and chocolate (tastes exactly like one of those Terry's chocolate oranges) and I loved it. There was plenty of seating in the patio, however it was really crowded even for a weekday. Big plus for having a free parking lot as that's super rare for LA. The baristas were very friendly and prices were relatively standard for LA coffee shops. They have a 15% student discount so be sure to bring your student ID! I'll definitely be back to work and soak up the patio ambiance.

Cheap, friendly, spacious study area with free parking. Even gives student discounts and a stamp card. Seemed so promising. A very warm, cozy vibe. The staff was very kind and they had a lot of choices on their menu. The coffee and tea wasn't anything so great to me, give my friend and me some stomach issues. So I wouldn't be coming again anytime soon. Cute spot though. Had high hopes.

Beautiful location. The problem is, their music is too loud for my comfort and their coffee is just not good.

The drink of choice taste from the sip I took was ok , the ambience is nice. Employee Josh could use a better attitude and could be better at communicating. He's not good at multitasking 8 I waited 10 MINUTES for a plain bagel when I ordered it was NO line formed . As someone who worked in customer service for 9 years before the medical field, it's disappointing to see a lack of communication and making someone wait and ignore them. Another employee eventually just got to it since it seemed to hard for Josh to communicate to me the paying customer it would be a while since he thought it was smart ideato take the line that started to form a couple people AFTER I ordered , instead of just letting the next customer know it would be a minute, he just started working on other orders . When another employee informed him since I had just been waiting patiently , his attitude could care less and he said I can wait. Thankfully the other employee just ended up taking care of it since it took NOTHING to put bread in a toaster oven. My issue was not at all having to wait, I've worked in very High volume restaurants so i have a clear understanding of things when it comes to poor customer service and that's what I'm not happy with my experience. His tone, attitude and just condescending energy was not needed. Also blaming my card for not taking the first time I used the apple pay service. He could not be anymore incompetent serving coffee. Perhaps he could use more training for the floor. I'm sure he will sarcastically be confused about this review, and gaslight the situation but it is what it is and I asked for a refund because after I wrote this review my coffee and bagel were cold and he ruined that experience. So he got what he wanted and now here's his review. When you play stupid games ,you win stupid prizes!

We enjoyed the flavored lattes, pastries, and empanadas. We also enjoyed the weather and music in the courtyard. Most people here were working on their

This is one of my absolute favorite coffee shops in all of Los Angeles! It is in the perfect area for me, since I am always traveling up north & down south in the county. The baristas are always so kind, & are always on top of asking each guest if they are a student/teacher to make sure they get their discount. There is a huge variety of snacks, pastries, & food of all portions. There is also a great drink menu for coffees & teas! The ambience is perfect for studying, the space is HUGE! There has never been a time where I walk in & there are no tables available, even if there's 50+ people in shop. I always get a great amount of work done, & I always hear the same from other patrons. Definitely a one of a kind shop.

This coffee place has unique drinks, a beautiful outdoor courtyard with a big tree and heaters and lots of seating. I would come here more often if it was closer. Took off one star because I paid $7 for a latte + tip which I think is too much but, with how expensive everything is getting, it is not

Decent prices on coffee, but the space is what really makes this place shine. A spacious courtyard with seating as well as lots of indoor

I study here all the time. Food tastes like food and the coffee rlly tastes like coffee. They served me something called tea one time. Everyone is of lgbtq nationality, so you already know that the coffee was amazing. I love seeing my fellow people. Super interested. Best part about it was the bathroom. I spent most of my study session in there. But anyways, I would absolutely recommend to anyone that's craving Mexican/ Kyrgyzstan fusion food.

Decided to try this place with a couple of friends on an LA trip. We heard this place was great for being productive based on other reviews and since my friend had a zoom meeting midday, we stopped by to let her attend her meeting and grab coffee. The ambience is amazing! The outdoor courtyard is so cozy and it was sheltered from the street so it was like its own world. Many people were doing work on their laptops so I can agree with all the reviews that state this place is a perfect study spot. I ordered a hot Ancient Mayan and it was so good! It was my ideal thick/creamier coffee consistency and it was perfectly hot for a cold day. My friends also enjoyed their drinks. The baristas were super kind and helpful when ordering and I was able to get a student discount by showing my university ID card! Overall this was a great place to stop by and I would highly recommend to other students or anyone looking for a cozy spot to drink good coffee :)
