Very very cute coffee shop! I wasn't expecting all the plants inside. It's aesthetically pleasing and there's this calm vibe inside even during the weekends! I went for their Sour Cherry Oat Cold Brew because it sounded good, refreshing and interesting. I liked it but probably wouldn't get it again. My sister got the Blueberry Matcha and the matcha itself tasted okay but no hint of the blueberry. The turn off and reason for 3 stars was because of the sanitation. There was a fly inside where they have the pastries and we were looking forward to having a pastry but after seeing that we were like no thanks. We got the Ham and Cheese Melt with an everything bagel and it was a good snack but it also felt unappetizing after seeing the fly plus other flies inside mostly due to the plants I suppose. We parked inside the complex where it said retail parking which is a few spots. Other than that there's street parking.
This is a really lovely place and great for a meeting. I am always on the lookout for a coffee spot with adequate seating for an actual private conversation and this is IT. Parking was super easy. Their pastry case was very limited but looked lovely. I am not an artful eater during meetings so I passed but bought a packaged cookie which was delicious. Cookie and coffee was over $10. That's crazy but normal here I guess. They have a full food menu but I wish they made it more obvious - this place is minimalism to the hilt. Still, a gorgeous living wall of plants and lots of places on their sunny patio to have a conversation. If you need a meeting place in Weho/Hollywood area, this is a great choice.
I stopped in here for an afternoon coffee after visiting a nearby art gallery. Nice decor, love the cool plant wall! Very good coffee.
Excellent cappuccino , clean and modern atmosphere, good baristas, and open earlier than others in the area. Kitchen doesn't open until later though....
Our new fave place to get some work done. We live on Highland so it is a quick walk for us but they do have a parking garage for customers. There's always open places to sit both inside and outside with a restroom and free WiFi. What more do you need! My go-to is the blueberry matcha latte which is delish and my husband always gets a vanilla latte. We've also tried their caprese panini which is bomb!
10$ for a matcha latte with oat milk is ridiculous. Especially if it looks like this! I complained to the dude but he didn't seem to care. Just stated that he used the same qty that he usually uses to make it and just walked away. Next time a customer complains, the only words out of your mouth should be: "I'm sorry. May I replace it for you or offer a refund?". I apologize if your management hasn't had sufficient training to train you. Ambiance kinda sux. Small and very noisy from the busy street and they keep the doors open. I'm sure the coffee is great. But I definitely won't be back to try.
One of the staff members probably shouldn't be in a customer-based field, but I'm not holding it against this place this time. I love this place! Parking in the garage is free and right there. You can enter the cafe from the parking lot or from the street. The place is cool. Small and charming with pretty blue tile tables. I loved being there and hanging out enjoying my mocha and coffee cake donut which were both very good. The gal who helped me was great. But there's a guy who was pretty sarcastic with customers, me included. When asked questions, it was like he hated having to answer them, so he'd reply with total "I don't care" sarcasm. I deducted a star for this because management should know. If this guy was the owner, they don't deserve 4 stars, but whatever. Had a nice time, enjoyed my coffee and pastry, and I'd come back.
I drove past this shop about a week ago and couldn't wait to try it. This is my first coffee shop visit of 2025 and It did not disappoint! Ordered a Latte and I'll tell you right off the rip the art was beautiful and the coffee tasted great! The barista was super friendly and the shop is overall a good time. It's clean it feels open with the high ceiling and super fresh with the indoor plants! I will definitely be back soon!
This was my first time at Black Canvas Coffee, and I had a good experience. This cafe offers good wifi, a bathroom for customers with a code, free street parking on Sundays, and both indoor/outdoor seating. It also has a lovely ambiance, with soft music, lots of natural light, and a variety of plants throughout the cafe. I came on a Sunday around 12PM to get some work done, and there was plentiful seating, however, it was also a holiday. I ordered their signature matcha latte, and the barista, Natalie, was very kind and knowledgeable about their menu. Their latte uses ceremonial-grade matcha and charges an extra $1.50 for plant-based milk substitutions. Natalie informed me that the standard drink does not come sweetened, so I asked to sweeten it for no additional charge. The drink finished fairly quickly and came in a glass. I appreciate the effort towards waste reduction. The drink itself was a bit watery, and I did feel that the sweetener was a little strong, but the matcha flavor was still present. Overall, it is not an exceptionally special matcha latte, however, it did fulfill my matcha craving. I also ordered their matchagato, which is two scoops of vanilla ice cream with matcha on top. The ice cream was of great quality, however, I was not the biggest fan of the matcha shot on its own. Together, it was quite good, however, I was tasting more of the ice cream than the matcha, which is maybe why I enjoyed it more. However, one part of the ice cream did have some freezer burn. Overall, it seems like a great study spot, however, I did not see any outlets, so make sure to have your devices sufficiently charged before arriving. The drink I tried was average, but perhaps their talents are more present in their coffees. I would recommend this cafe for coffee chats or somewhat brief study sessions. It also offered various pastries and a food menu, however, I did not try any of these items.
Delicious coffee and dessert, a cozy atmosphere, and a very charming cashier. Definitely a place I'd come back to.
The hardest thing about paying these $8-9 drinks in LA is how terrible you feel paying that much if the drink doesn't taste good.. ...and their drinks didn't make the cut for me. I forgot which drink my fiancé got (it was the first drink on the menu) but I got their iced honey rose matcha latte. My immediate thought was how even that name had a lot going on.. but I like honey, and Rosewater, and matcha.. soo if you combined it all, it might be good, right? WRONG! I saw the barista pour a decent amount of matcha in it and even though the menu said ceremonial grade matcha, I did not taste the matcha AT ALL. Maybe the quality of the matcha isn't good? It was more like milk with rosewater and a tiny drop of honey. My fiancé's drink was just OK too. He also said he tasted more milk than anything. He hates wasting food & he's the one that paid for it but even he couldn't finish his drink. We ended up trashing our half full drinks (ice melted in the pic but the color stayed the same.. look at how light my matcha is) The breakfast items were ridiculously priced too I almost can't believe ppl pay that much ($19 for a ham & cheese croissant) for breakfast. I get it.. they're on highland so rent must be expensive but.. I would rather go to Javista a few blocks away at that point. They do have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating but sadly we will not be returning :\
I really enjoy coming to this coffee shop! There's options to sit inside or outside. Food here is phenomenal. I got the salmon on the bagel with poached egg and avocado and it was made to perfection. I've had their lattes here prior and their pastries and I've always enjoyed them! Great place to solo hang out, meet with some friends, or do some light work (no outlets so make sure to come charged)
Skip the Matcha Rose Latte and get their Blueberry Maple Latte. It's a divine latte creation. If you're hungry, you could also share breakfast albeit a little pricy. The first time we came, we wanted a mini breakfast to hold us down until lunch and ordered a prosciutto and goat cheese toast and an avocado toast. Expecting nyc portions, we were happily surprised by how hefty the toast portions were and understood the price tag that came with them. Not only did they give generous portions, the toasts were tasty. I think the only thing that threw us off was that the poached egg was given in a separate bowl and not on top of the avocado toast. The poached egg was also a little overcooked so we wish we did without it. The best part of breakfast, as mentioned above, is the blueberry maple latte. Whether it's hot or iced, it still tastes amazing and you can definitely taste the blueberry. The rose matcha latte tasted like watered down matcha with too much rose syrup. I've had some great rose matcha lattes and this one did not impress. Aside from food and drink, the ambiance is chill and relaxed. The workers are friendly and there are multiple tables to sit both inside and outside the cafe. It's definitely a place where you can sit down and get some work done. I wish I could steal the blueberry maple latte recipe because it was really that good and probably the main reason I want to come back. Excuse me while I try to find a good blueberry maple latte in the jungle of specialty lattes offered in nyc. If my search fails, I'll need to find my way back just for the latte.
Ambiance: it's located in the Hollywood area, street parking, simple and elegant decorations, cozy indoor and outdoor spaces, and it feels like a mini oasis hidden in the city Service: friendly and welcoming staff, made the drink fairly efficient Drink: they have standard coffee drinks and house specials TOASTED VANILLA BEAN BOURBON LATTE - ***** homemade toasted vanilla bean bourbon syrup, milk, double shots of espresso, so creamy and tasty, highly recommend Price: premium quality and expect about $10 per drink read more

It was my first time here. I got an acai bowl, which was alright. More peanut butter forward than acai bowls usually are. With tip, it was over $20 which seemed pretty steep compared to acai bowls I've gotten at other places. There were no other customers, but the employee at the front never made eye contact and seemed annoyed to have a customer. Overall, the acai bowl was OK but between the price and chilly reception, I doubt I'll make this a regular spot. read more

Quiet , Clean , I would come back ! It's cute inside and the food and drink menu look appealing ! I've never been before grabbed a menu and order a ten dollar matcha !! Not sure if parking is for the establishment or apartment complex but I def found street parking! I'm new to matcha and I think the blueberry purée is a great touch . I'm interested in a latte next time . The pastries aren't many but the ones I saw looked appetizing! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Black Canvas Coffee. During one of our days on our LA road trip, I wanted to stop by for breakfast before continuing our trek towards UCLA's campus. The space, for one, is super inviting - tons of greenery, seating, and a clean-lit pastry case that boasted a variety of gluten and gluten-free pastries. The coffee, for two, tasted delicious. I HATE acidic coffee, but the decaf Americano I ordered here was well-balanced, light, and sweet. The customer service, for three, is unmatched. To explain... My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich (which he absolutely loved). My brother and I ordered omelettes without cheese. However, when our orders first arrived to our table, we had to request the server to take the plates back, because they were made incorrectly. This meant waiting an extra half-hour for our omelettes to be redone. Our barista who took our orders inside noticed... and bless his heart and soul. He not only gave us a free GF donut to snack on while we were waiting, but he also insisted on reheating my friend's breakfast sandwich to keep it hot. The food itself was absolutely delicious. But even if it weren't, I would have still given Black Canvas Coffee 6 stars for its service alone. read more

Bright coffee shop with alternative milk options and breakfast/brunch. Came here on a Sunday around 11am and there were indoor and outdoor seats available. Credit card only (no cash accepted). You pay at the counter and then you'll receive a number. You can do work here too, but most of the people seemed to be there to socialize. They had some ready made pastries but I would suggest asking them to heat up the display ones (it'll take your croissant to the next level). It's an additional $1.25 if you want oat milk in your latte. I got a matcha latte and it did its job. Note that the smoothie bowl does come with a nut butter blended in it. It's actually pretty filling, so you could ask for a cold drink cup to take the rest of it to-go. Overall the vibes are chill and it's a cute cafe/coffee shop. read more

Thanks Shanelle for your review,
*Coffee: Blueberry Maple Latte - very weak espresso flavor. Didn't taste much of blueberry or maple either. It was just very blunt in general. *Food: Smoothie Bowl - Creative and nutritious. Thick consistency with generous portion of topping including fresh fruits. All pics of their food items look so good! *Wifi: reliable *Bathroom: incredibly clean *Parking: available in structure for free *Customer Service: very low energy. Not engaging. I wanted to like this place but for their coffee & customer service level I am not sure if I come back... read more

Excellent and beautiful place. My friends and I were staying at the Roosevelt Hotel and Google a breakfast place near by. We walked a few blocks down towards BCC. We were excited for the place, cleanest and Beaty. All that before trying their breakfast dishes .. cleaned and delicious like the place. We were very happy with the staff, service and food. As I googled it I noticed other locations. I'll be always looking for it anywhere. Highly recommend it!! read more

Really cute spot, parking is behind the shop. There's designated parking that says retail parking. The service was great I ordered the rainbow avocado toast and blueberry latte with an extra shot total $26.01. Both we're really good but still kinda pricey. This place is def not in my budget lol. But if I am in the area again I'll prob just stop in just for the coffee read more

Great find while in Hollywood. We always stop by on Sundays after our Farmers Market trip. They have delicious food and coffee drinks. The place is super cute with high ceilings and relaxing colors all around. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Great atmosphere. Plenty of parking and clean restrooms. The fresh baked pastries on display are really good. I love the almond croissants. So flaky and delicious. I order it every time. The blueberry maple latte is so delicious and unique. I don't think I've ever seen it anyplace else before. Everything they serve here is fresh, appetizing and has beautiful presentation. The 4 stars is for the customer service. I understand that many places are short staffed but that doesn't mean you can ignore or not acknowledge a customers presence. To build and maintain strong customer relationships, a simple greeting , a smile or a warm conversation is a must. You want your customers to come back and refer friends to your business. Overall a great place to check out when in the area. read more

Second time coming here. This time with the goal of getting some work done. Coffee is solid, but overpriced. I paid ~$7 for an iced oat milk latte. Indoor seating is back! Currently, I believe it's at about 25% capacity. The patio is beautiful but when you want to work, you need shade and AC. I don't think they have any outlets inside, so come with fully charged devices. There's a clean bathroom available and FREE parking right next door (Highland's retail parking). Overall, great coffee shop with a cute vibe. read more
