Love this little spot! I drive out of my way just to get their dirty chai with hemp milk.

Walk into the best coffee aroma you can think of. Came here after sushi and it was the best end cap to our meal. The nitro cold brew with a splash of agave was just perfect.Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerant

Hours shown online are wrong. Seems to be 6:30 for opening. Didn't go there. Now doing space filler to post ...

Groundwork Coffee has some of the best brew in the game and this location is no different than my usual spot in Larchmont Village. This is a very tiny shop but even without seating space, they still have a wall full of products you can buy and a good number of java options.I always get the Cold Brew + add in the ShroomWorks extract. Give me that natural mushroom high, baybee! It's a delicious coffee without the gross artificial flavoring taste you'll sometimes get in shroom drinks. A shining piece of this particular location, the staff! So friendly, so outgoing and they loved my bestie's Tiger Belly shirt. You like Bobby Lee, then you're good people in my book, lol! I have summer plans of biweekly beach trips and I will surely stop in for my morning pick me up here every time.

Ordered a Oat milk vanilla latte. Coffee tasted good. Both staff were very friendly. Great ambiance inside of the store with all different types of coffee. Only disappointing part was no coffee art when I received my latte. I was expecting that very much .

All I have to say is yes. Please go here. I spontaneously walked into groundwork to get a coffee. I ordered the horchata cold brew and was left genuinely surprised. It was so good. Super sweet and creamy. It was quite the treat. I definitely recommend. I will be coming back to try the rest of their drinks.

Groundwork Coffee generously sponsored the Staff Appreciation Week at McKinley Elementary this year. I share a story:One staff member had never been to Groundwork. He took a sip of coffee, looked at our event lead, and said, "Wow, this is really good coffee! You got this for us?" We told him how Groundwork, a local coffee company, kindly donated it to our staff in support of all they do. Thank you for supporting our public schools!

Good quality coffee with a nice little patio. A bit expensive for what it is but that is expected in LA. Still better than a Starbucks.

Coffee was good. The staff was nice. Inside was small with no seating but coffee came out pretty quickly to take to go.

Walk in lovely hole in the wall, wanting my coffee fix. Order a Large hot Latte, immediately hit with sarcastic remark under his breath, we only have one size. That's fine. 5.75, ok, go to hand him cash , the cashier throws up his hands we don't take cash, like my money is filthy. Ok... Grab card enter no tip... Sorry my cash stays with me...I then get my "latte" which was the worst milk shake I have ever had. Don't even know if they used coffee as all I could taste was milk

Gritty, to the point, and I love it. This is for the for real coffee drinkers. B*tches Brew remains my favorite coffee, not just because of the Miles Davis reference, but also because it's a solid dark roast. Groundwork is the only coffee shop to my knowledge that has hemp milk as a dairy alternative, which is an added bonus. You won't get to sit down here, but you can grab a coffee to go and take a stroll along Main Street. *Metered parking in the back.
