    Avacado toast added the egg
    Diana E.

    Been a patron since opening and this spot has remained a great neighborhood staple! Have to commend Jonathan for being a renaissance man of this cafe... delicious and beautiful latte work, making sure the patio and interior keeps polished and clean, and even keeping the vibe upbeat and welcoming. It so refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work and service. Yummy single sourced coffee and delicious creative lattes just a walk away from home. Food is served warm and beautiful presented for a nice morning or afternoon bite. Pastries are always an exciting treat for the kiddos too.

    The outside

    I recently visited Commissary Coffee and overall it was just okay. The shop itself has a nice atmosphere and a good location, but the coffee was a bit watery and didn't have the strong flavor I was expecting. For the price, I honestly expected better quality. The experience at the counter also felt a little off since the cashier didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. Service wasn't terrible, just not very warm. On the positive side, the place is clean and has a nice vibe to sit and relax for a while. It's not a bad café, but there's definitely room for improvement.

    One of the worst coffees Iv had .. watered down and doesn't taste like anything close to a cup of coffee for $4.50 on top of that while waiting for my drink one of the baristas was sitting on the countertop in front of all the customers! Never going back

    Breakfast Burrito

    Cozy and busy coffee spot, particularly on a Sunday. Their breakfast burrito really hits the spot and they make a really nice latte.

    matcha latte and vanilla latte

    In a very crowded area, but there is free street parking. Ambince was chill as it was around 6pm and the music wasn't too loud. It is a work friendly cafe so there is a charging station in every other table I believe. The staff were very friendly! I got the matcha latte that had a fishy taste... it seemed like low-quality as it didn't taste well. Though the sweetness was just right. I got the brisket burrito thinking it was going to be a burrito- it wasn't. It was a bowl of veggies and couldn't find the brisket.. My friend got the vanilla latte and the fried chicken sandwich which he thought were both alright. Throughout my 3 hour stay, it smelled like pee time to time. I'm really bummed as I have been looking forward to visit this cafe, but did not have a good experience.

    So much charm and flavor at this cafe! Hidden in Kenneth village, this was such a great find! A few things that set them apart, is how fresh everything seemed. I mean, the whole place smelled like the fresh churro buns! They called everyone by name- they remember all their customers! It has a homey feel, yet very spacious (great for studying or work) and decorated beautifully. I ordered the veggie burrito and the churro buns and both were delicious! Coffee was fresh and I believe brewed in house. I'll def be back next time I'm in the area!

    This place was crowded and we had to wait in line for about 15 minutes. The employees seemed to have a nice system in place to knock out the orders. My friend and I ordered the Mocha Latte, I had mine iced and my friend got it hot. They served the drinks fairly quick. I would say the consensus is that the latte wasn't anything spectacular for the price and the mocha they used was cheap chocolate. We wouldn't come back unless we are in the area and even then, there probably are better options to try out.

    Pretty good coffee, yummy food/pastries, and really great servers. The vibes in there are good. I think if you're stopping just for a coffee fix it's not necessarily "top tier" choice, but if you're going to sit with friends or to work or study it's an awesome spot.

    Brisket burrito yum!
    Garett S.

    Coffee commissary is what you would imagine a coffee shop in LA to be. The Glendale location is in an old town area of small shops. The shop is really hip, with very fashionable people. One thing I like about this place is ample seating both outside and inside. It is a cool place to get some work done or get something to eat & drink coffee. I mainly came here to try the breakfast burritos and get my coffee fix. One cool thing is you can get breakfast in the pm. I got the brisket burrito, I would say about 4.5 stars. I liked the rub of the brisket that gives it flavor, you could go without salsa if you really wanted to. The tortilla chips that come with it are delicious and fresh. This place breaks the mold as far as coffee shops having good food. Few coffee shops can pull it, but Coffee Commissary does. Now for the coffee how good is it? I would say not top tier best of LA good, but good. I had a Cubano cinnamon latte, which was good. My wife had a Vanilla latte which, taste more like a sweet latte. Overall I think it's a four to five star place depending upon how picky you are when it comes to coffee. The food, seating and ambiance and pretty good coffee makes coffee commissary a great place to visit.

    BRISKET HASH - two sunny eggs, triple fried potatoes, brisket, avocado, hollandaise
    Juliana E.

    My boyfriend stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop one morning and was so excited to take me. Parking gets a little dense depending on what time you go-- weekend morning's... good luck! We typically park across the street in the parking lot next to the bakery. There's typically a line out the door (expected because this place has amazing coffee and breakfast items!) the line moves fairly quickly and the wait for your order will take from 5-15 minutes depending on how busy it is. This cute hipster coffee shop has seating areas but be prepared to possibly sit outdoors. It can get crowded! That's the only downfall about this place. Even on busy weekend mornings the wait is worth it!! I usually get an iced American, amazing flavor without tasting watered down. My boyfriend always gets the Chai Latte, it has the perfect amount of spiced flavor. On the weekends before 3pm they serve the best Brisket Hash, me and my boyfriend share the bowl! The potatoes are so crispy-- never soggy. The brisket is seasoned well, eggs are still runny, the hollandaise sauce is my favorite. It adds such a nice contrast to the food.

    Brisket Burrito
    Jo Danielle E.

    Friend recommended this place to me for a good matcha & study place. Both times I came here, minimal seats were available inside--shows how popular this place is! The cafe plays pretty loud music so if you're looking for a quieter cafe, this isn't for you. Otherwise, bring your headphones or enjoy the background music and chatter. Outside seating is available and honestly a nice, breezy option for when it's not too hot. Their matcha isn't my favorite, but it's good enough. (+) street parking available, not hard to find (+) has large food & drink menu (+) wifi & sockets available (+) open later than most cafes ( ) can get full & loud during peak hours ( ) matcha wasn't quite flavorful/rich ( ) brisket burrito was yummy, but very $$$

    Very popular neighborhood place. Outdoor seating is nice and highly prized. Lots of people bring dogs and on the weekends, the place will be packed indoor and out with sports teams and groups of friends and neighbors. A real locals joint. Parking can be tough. Cookies for the table are a must.

    Avocado toast cut in half. I did cut in half
    Esther K.

    I ordered the avocado toast. The bread was nicely toasted. It had the crunch on the outside and it was soft inside. The toast itself tasted earthy and healthy. It had arugula on top of the avocado. By not adding salt and pepper, it tasted delicious when you are controlling your salt intake for high blood pressure. The service was warm and friendly. They made sure that my order was correct. The ambiance is very Metro and clean. It has street parking for 2hours on the weekend. Make sure your cars have both plates on especially on your tesla. You will be ticketed if you don't. I ordered a decaf americano and it didn't taste burnt, which I like!!!

    Ask the Community - Coffee Commissary

    Does Coffee Commissary accept EBT?

    no offended tho, this shouldn't be a place for EBT ( Food assistance for in needed). This is a fancy place for who could through some cash gratis to baristas who are working their assoff in minimum wages.

    Do they have different sizes for their coffee?

    Yes two different sizes

    Do they offer gluten free bread?

    No (the only option is gluten free chocolate cake per the barista)

    Are we allowed to sit outside even after hours?

    Probably, just depends on the neighbors. And if they bring in the tables and chairs. Either way, there's a built in bench on the street facing sidewalk.

So anyways Heytea was completely off my radar because I figured I wasn't their target audience (which is fair) HOWEVERRR this new guava drink has me in a chokehold!! It's not thick and chunky like their other stuff. And it's actually good?? I hate that it's good because I went from a Heytea hater to a Heytea frequenter. It's floral, fragrant and it's a perfect mix of guava and milk/cream. Never would I have thought to pair guava and dairy together BUT IT WORKS SOMEHOW. Think strawberries and cream... but guava. The jasmine tea isn't prominent but it's there as a base layer and definitely smells soooo good. The guava taste is strong and I don't know what magic they put in there but it's not artificial and gross. The cream on top is nice too! I tend to drink from the lid the first and just enjoy the cream and then afterwards I'll mix it in with the drink. It's $8 which is pricey.... But I hate that I like it. I've gotten it like 5 times this month alone. They ran out of stickers but the drink is still just as good!

Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it.

Their menu is incredibly innovative and has a lot of unique flavors, so it was super hard choosing just one. I wanted to try the mango matcha, too and the banana flavors also sounded good. We ended up ordering the Vietnamese coffee and the double matcha. The Vietnamese coffee was good, strong and not too sweet. However, my double matcha was very milky and tasted watered down. Despite it being the strongest matcha on the menu (supposedly), there was no matcha taste at all and it tasted more like just oat milk. The matcha cream on top was tasty and strong but not enough to balance out the milkiness of the matcha latte underneath. I was pretty disappointed, but hopefully it was just a one off. I hope I can come back and try some of the other flavors, and see if the matcha is redeemed. The space itself is super cute with wooden tables and a record player and plants in the corner. There are also chairs and tables outside, and it's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. A pretty convenient and cozy space - I'd opt for the coffee instead of matcha here or skip the double matcha and try a fruit matcha instead.
