They do have their own dedicated parking in the rear Walken is a movie created by the staff. They were very patient while trying to take in the menu and decide what to get. Went with even though latte and matcha croissant. Both were amazing. It was an option to warm up the croissant, though I would not recommend it since the cream inside would probably turn into lava. It can get a bit loud when the shop is at capacity, but can still maintain a conversation. First time I've been to a coffee shop that has a roasting section in-house. Great spot.

Overall, I was pretty happy with my visit to Laidrey. I decided to try the iced Cherry Cloud Latte…read morefrom their seasonal menu. It was delicious! Super creamy, strong and with a nice kick from the cherry milk. I didn't make any adjustments/substitutions and thought it was perfect. I was disappointed with the service. No one greeted me, not even the barista who took my order. As a former barista, that wouldn't have been okay in the shop I worked in. At least their coffee is delicious. It's pretty spacious inside with a good amount of seating.

Alfred Coffee is a chain with several locations, but for some reason I might have a specific…read morelocation that I like and it was unfortunately not this one. I had an oat latte here, and the espresso was a bit weak for a large iced latte (maybe the ratios are better on a normal size.) The oat milk was fairly dense and goopy, and it pretty much masked that espresso. Parking is a little difficult to find, but if you don't mind walking, parking can easily be had on the street (and free) around the block - not Ventura Blvd, of course. Service was fairly quick, though they are often fairly busy especially those afternoon hours! Their interior is fairly small, so working can be on the noisier end, and foot traffic is often enough that a good set of earbuds is a must.

5-star review you can copy and paste:…read more Judd made me the most beautiful and delicious flat white I've ever had! The coffee was perfectly balanced, silky smooth, and the latte art was absolutely stunning--clearly made with real skill and care. Everything about Aurora feels special. The drinks are crafted with attention to detail, and the whole experience left me smiling. This is easily becoming one of my favorite spots on Ventura Blvd. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Judd!

My husband got the praline cream rose, and he said it was strong -- he had to add more sugar, but it still wasn't good. Overall, I'd come back for my drink, but he'd probably skip his next time.

We ordered the bouquet burrito and chilaquiles. Food came out fairly quickly, and they even package your food in a to-go box in case you have leftovers to take home. The burrito was huge, flavorful and generously filled. The chilaquiles were tasty as well. Overall, we were happy with our quick breakfast bite. There's a communal table along with other indoor seating plus some outdoor seating available too.

Was able to get a parking spot on the street. Staff was very friendly soon as I walked in. A couple people in the dining area remote working with laptops. There was nice casual music playing in the background. I decided to go with the Smashburger and the peony burrito. Both were great, but would definitely take the Smashburger again over the burrito. I will note: the salsa that comes with the burrito was OK but the burrito alone with no salsa was great. The flavor of the avocado and ingredients together was simple and fresh.

Cozy, laid back, good music (90's Hip Hop & R&B) and a good place to just sit, eat and hang out for a bit. She got the Iced Matcha Peach and I got the Salted Caramel Latte. I'm not really a matcha person, but obviously I tried hers and I have to admit it was pretty good. My latte was really good too. I got the Truffle Mushroom Toast and she had the Chopped Lox Toast. The mushroom toast was really good and they definitely weren't stingy with the mushrooms. I tried her lox toast too, because that's just part of being in a relationship. Hers was pretty good too. Overall, good food, good coffee, excellent service and a really cool atmosphere. Definitely somewhere we'd come back to, especially on another rainy LA day.

My colleague got a smoothie & smoked lox toast - both amazing. The food & drink were top notch. Taking a star off because the service was a little lackluster after we ordered. Maybe it's because we were sitting in the back but we got our toasts but no utensils. Then our drinks were delayed more than I would expect since it wasn't a super busy day. Once everything arrived, it was delicious so can't complain too much!

There's so many good coffee shops on Ventura Blvd. but this is my favorite coffee spot in the area…read more Their coffee is rich and full of flavor. My go-to is their iced latte with whole milk. It's the perfect start for the day! They also make a mean overnight oats! When they have it in stock, it's always an item I order with my iced latte. It comes with rolled oats, chia seeds, berries, agave, vanilla extract and almond milk. Yum! You have to try it when it's available! They sold out today, so I got their granola & yogurt. It was the perfect substitute. There's limited seating inside and out, but it's a great place to enjoy your cup of Joe or work. Staff is always welcoming and friendly and are quick to get your order to you. You also have an option to order online at https://www.tortonicaffe.com and it's super convenient. They also have delivery as an option too!

We got the banana coconut latte and the pumpkin caramel latte and both were really good! I will say their drinks are definitely more on the subtle side when it comes to the flavoring, so if you like your coffee a little sweeter or want the flavors to really come through, I'd recommend asking for a little extra. Overall though, really good coffee and a great little spot! Parking is probably the only annoying part since it's mostly street parking and can be tough to find, so you may have to park around the block. Still definitely worth checking out!

Nice, spacious interior and they also have lounge/couches in the back which is nice. Great vibe to this place and the worker was very nice. Menu is simple, they had some summer drinks on a separate menu for seasonal. I ordered one of their signatures, 12 oz Iced Maple Oat Latte. Drink came out pretty quick and had a very pretty coffee color! Sometimes you just immediately know it'll be good just by the color and it was! Super delicious, perfect maple flavor. Would definitely come back!! IG: @ammysalamii

They use Onyx (from what i noticed), and the sound of the milk being steamed sounded silky (-: ! I think saw they used a bottomless portafilter ? Might have mis-seen. But for those unfamiliar, bottomless doesn't divide your shots into two physical shots. so it looks like "one" shot. but it would be 2 shots if it had that attachment. Shots are dialed by weight, so your coffee will be consistent! The layout of the cafe is nice: entry/line formation moves in a counter clockwise motion. Allows customers to enter space and wait in line while leaving space for people to exit/ wait to pick up their drink. First come, first serve for pastries - expect this for freshness purposes. Drink and their components are measured for consistency and quality control. Wait is subjective in relation to volume at the time which you go. Came in at about 1:30 PM on a Sunday (today was 8/16). Curated menu for their specialty drinks that aligns with their identity. Standard menu for espresso based beverages. Great selection for their Single Origin menu. Roasters they use align with those they highlight on their shelves for retail as a multi-roaster cafe. Ordered a Columbia from Hydrangea - enjoyed thoroughly! When it was still quite hot you get the heavy aroma and flavor of the pastry notes in the coffee. Then more tea-like once it cools down more. Coldbrew in the Woodman did not feel like your typical bold-in-flavor base. Which I think works for the inclusions in the beverage. Not your typical/second wave coffee shop. It's cool to see shops want to bridge that gap between fun drinks and specialty coffee! Kudos to Lynx!

The inside is so cute and I love that they always do the heart straws and there is ample seating everywhere. I can't wait for more of their locations to open up so they can be closer to my area!!

Dropped by over the weekend to see this new and absolutely beautiful location. Parking lot is tiny and has specific ones for the other shops next door so do be aware of where you park! Not sure how strict they are. The classic logo up front, beautiful decor and smells as soon as you walk in, greeted by the loveliest staff and even got to see familiar faces like Liana (owner) and Salma (my favorite Barista). The layout is similar to their original location in Balboa so it felt like we were right at home. Menu is easy to read, love that it has descriptions and photos for a lot of the drinks. I stick to my usual: Small Iced Moody Latte (pistachio latte with strawberry cream top) and they perfect it every time. Perfect amount of sweetness with the strong taste of espresso. The Lee's Special is definitely another must try if you haven't had it before! If I am feeling like a sweeter drink kinda mood, I would get that. Drinks come out quick as well so you're not waiting long at all. Love this spot and can't wait to visit more if I'm in the area!! IG: @ammysalamii
