    Mais con Yelo & Salted Latik Lattes
    Ashley C.

    This location is a bit tricky to get to by car, since you'll have to find parking in the limited options and then walk over to the walking strip of various storefronts where this coffee shop is located. It's not super common to see Filipino coffee shops so we were excited to check out the menu! I really enjoyed the mais con yelo latte but wish it had just a little bit more corn flavor. The salted latik latte had a more distinct flavor and I liked the balance of salt versus coffee!

    I could tell this coffee shop was going to be good even before I got my drink because of how many people were inside already. I got a latte (whichever one they said was the most popular), and it was quite strong and really well balanced. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted the latte or a matcha because both seemed really popular, but I'm glad I went with the latte because I needed a pick-me-up before my pilates class. I will definitely be back to try their matcha!

    Very good coffee and matcha. Boonies einspeinner is my new favorite here. They use good beans and skilled in coffee. a fun signature selection menu. more basic / traditional coffee items such as latte are also very solid here. Good vibes and good study spot. Can get crowded sometimes.

    The Vibe: Flooded with natural light and heavy study energy. It is a UCLA favorite for laptop warriors, though finding a seat is a competitive sport. Look for the subtle Filipino design cues that give the space a unique soul. The Standouts: The Asin Latte is the move. It is perfectly balanced and avoids the sugar-bomb trap. The matcha is also high-quality and whisked well. Elite Tips: Going viral for its Filipino-inspired specialty lattes. It is known as the go-to "third space" for Westwood students. Get here at opening if you actually want a table.

    Oat and fermented rice milk latte  delicious.

    This establishment has no signage so I passed it, but it's in the little walkway area where they have Astroturf with all kinds of games. There is an ada button to access and open both doors, which is wonderful. Most places people just watch me struggle pushing my boy up the ramp trying to hold the door, holding my child's Service, dog,, while maneuvering a wheelchair with just my right hand ha! so yes, this detail needs to be mentioned. The coffee was strong and the perfect temperature for my oat fermented rice latte. Koatji is the new thing and it pairs so well with good coffee. I will return if I'm in the area.

    Pricey drinks. My friend ordered a matcha and it was not even full. 1/4 of the cup was empty. I was like wtf that's not acceptable. The shop was all filled though because kids came, ordered 1 drink, and spent all day there. I wouldn't come back for an $8 drink

    I saw that their a Philippine specialty coffee roaster, and the flavors they are bringing to the table are incredible. I ordered their Salted Latik, which is apparently their infamous Salted Latte" that's been a staple since 2023. Let me tell you, it completely lives up to the hype. It's a perfect blend of a double espresso and your choice of milk with Latik house syrup and dash of Asin tibouk. It is the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and deeply savory. You can tell they put so much thought into the ingredients.To top it all off, the service was amazing. April was my server and she was incredibly welcoming, warm, and passionate about the coffee. Definitely recommend!

    Boondock Coffee Roasters is such a special spot, there's real heart in every cup. The salted latik has a beautifully unique flavor: rich, toasty, and just sweet enough, with layers that feel intentional rather than trendy. What really stood out to me, though, is how deeply the love for Filipino culture is embedded in the coffee. It's not just a theme, it feels genuine, thoughtful, and proudly celebrated. That said, my one downside was the drink balance. There was way too much ice, which left me wishing there was more of that amazing coffee to actually enjoy. The flavor is so good that it deserves to shine without being diluted. Overall, Boondock is doing something meaningful and delicious. I'd absolutely come back, next time just hoping for less ice and more of that incredible salted latik

    I stopped by Boondocks early on a Tuesday morning (they open at 8am). When I arrived, there was no line and just a few people working on their laptops. They had music playing and the vibes were calm and chill. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and it was good! They call out your name when your order is ready and there's a self-serve counter with lids, napkins, and straws. I enjoyed my drink at one of the seats and noticed a line starting to form around 9am. I recommend checking it out if you are looking for a chill study spot.

    While in Westwood Village for errands, I came across Boondocks Coffee, a Filipino-owned café. It's located on Broxton Ave, part of which has been turned into a pedestrian-only walkway; the café itself is quite spacious with plenty of natural lighting and is shared with a venue spot next door (in fact, their bathroom is inside the venue, so you have to walk a bit to get to it). I ordered the Boonies Einspänner, which came beautifully-presented with, when asked, toasted quinoa on top. The drink was sweet and delivered a powerful punch of espresso, which really woke me up early in the morning. No food is served here (drinks only), but overall, I enjoyed my drink, and I'd happily return to try their actual, Filipino-inspired beverages (e.g. ube/pandan lattes)!

    Deliciousness! Something with cinnamon.
    Leticia S.

    Delicious! This was my first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The workers helped me narrow down my drink and it was perfection. Can't remember what I got but it was delicious. The prices were fair, the place is super immaculate and super safe. It was crowded on the inside but you can sit outside and enjoy the view. It's LA so parking is not super convenient. Still worth the visit.

    I was initially under the impression that this place was a pop-up cafe but it looks like they're here to stay which I think is excellent as a UCLA Alum. This is a great addition to the Westwood coffee scene. I got the Westwood Fog last time I was here and found the cold brew to be delicious, but I've also tried the espresso via the Salted Latik and remember that being great as well, smooth and flavorful with the Latik syrup. Seems like a nice casual place to chill at, and service is friendly and fairly quick too. Would recommend if you're in the area!

    Very cute shop with lots of comfortable seating. The staff were also lovely and inviting. We went on yesterday, a Saturday, at the recommendation of my friend who lives in LA. We were visiting from Chicago. My son had a hot chocolate which came with a cute design in the froth. I had the vanilla latte that's on the menu under a different name. Sadly, neither of us enjoyed our drinks. I tried mine in the shop and it was lukewarm so I asked for it to be made warmer. The barista was a sweet young lady, and she remade the drink, but second one was also not hot. The milk just wasn't steamed long enough. Then, the flavor was off; it tasted sour. I told my son that I didn't like my drink once we made it to the car, and then he told me he didn't enjoy his either. He said his hot chocolate wasn't even hot. So, I have to chalk this up to the barista not making the drinks well. I'm not sure why the vanilla latte tasted sour, though. So this was a miss for me, but maybe other items are hits - the other reviews seem to indicate that this is so.

She got into a great conversation with the barista. The barista definitely knows his stuff. They were comparing different coffee shops and discussing the different notes in their beans. My cousin takes her coffee seriously and she was really impressed! I myself went with a flat white. You can definitely tell that their coffee quality is top notch. What I really do appreciate is the fact that their baristas is so knowledgable and really does have a passion for coffee. My cousin said it's not very common to find in coffee shops. She gave me a whole ted talk on why the coffee here is really good. Definitely come here if you want some good quality coffee and a barista who is happy to chat about it!

The place is so beautiful and it's such a vibe to just be there. I am amazed at how much detail went to the shop. The couches are nice and the staff is friendly. My problem is with the coffee. I was left wanting a different flavor than I expected. For context it was a Sunday morning so it might've been busy. But I ordered a flat white and it tasted like filtered water with a dash of coffee. There was absolutely no flavor and could barely taste the coffee. Maybe I don't know coffee well but I've been to tons of coffee shops in the west side and this is for sure one of the ones I was disappointed by. I'm willing to give the place a second chance but not sure.
