    Cups filled with ice
    Tiffanny B.

    I was excited to try this place because I had heard the matcha was good, and I agree--the quality of the matcha itself is great. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. The line was out the door, which I didn't mind waiting in, but the customer service was terrible. The staff was unfriendly and came across as annoyed rather than welcoming. They fill the cups almost entirely with ice and were unwilling to adjust it when asked. What really stood out was that I was waiting for my drink, which the employee was literally making right in front of me, and he looked irritated that I was standing there. He asked if I needed help, and I had to explain that I was simply waiting for the drink he was preparing. It made me feel like I was an inconvenience. Also, be aware that they don't sweeten their matcha, so if you prefer a sweeter drink, you'll need to request it (if they even offer that option). Great matcha quality, but the poor customer service and overall experience make it hard for me to return.

    Lines and a wait but the lines move fast. prices are about the same as other shops. They have a bunch of pastries. I tried the maple hojicha matcha latte. It did give off nutty flavor almost like cacao. The matcha eispanner was also another one I tried and it was definitely the better Choice of The two it was creamy and has subtle Matcha flavors. I've had better matcha without having to wait as long.

    Finally got to try this place and it is indeed worth the hype!! Came by late Saturday afternoon and luckily found street parking in the residential area a block away. I can imagine it's probably always hard to find parking here. Surprisingly the line wasn't as long as I expected since I have seen some pictures where the line wraps around to the main street. Waited around 30-40 min and ordered the matcha and coffee einspanner. I liked the coffee more after the cream got mixed in because the matcha with cream tasted a bit too sweet for me. Both were delicious and would definitely come back to wait in line with friends or something to make the time go by quicker!

    this is basically your run of the milll coffee shop slinging breakfast sandwiches, matcha ( like everyone and their Mama) and coffee drinks.Nothing to get excited about. Arrived at 10:30 AM , waited roughly 35 /minutes till we placed the order. They use Kings Hawaiian bread for the sandwich I had and they source out their pastries. Very straight forward breakfast stuff you're getting everywhere else. Amazing what a celebrity citing can do for your business and catapult ( such as this place). The sauces both pictured ( the green ) would go perfectly with a Filet O' Fish... and the (orange)) has a little kick.The service was straight forward breakfast stuff, it's really cramped inside ( super /small) with a few tables surrounding the property. Absolutely nothing to " BRAG" about here.

    Hands down worth the hype. I came here on a Wednesday morning around 9:30am, and the line was already pretty long. I waited for about 20-25 minutes, and honestly their matcha was worth the wait. Super creamy and tasted like high quality matcha.

    Matcha latte with cream top
    Jess F.

    She's a little overhyped, but still serves up a very yummy matcha that's worth at least one visit if you're in LA! Go on a weekday so the wait is a bit more bearable (I waited about 30-40 minutes on a weekday midday). The matcha latte with a cream top was rich and sweet - I loved it, but I had a few friends that thought it was too much. More of a sweet treat drink than a sophisticated matcha, but I'm not complaining. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside there isn't any seating, and the line does wrap around one time indoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They're quite busy but do get the drinks out pretty quick! Food options were sold out by the time I got there around noon. Community goods is an LA essential for a reason, it was fun to visit and if I'm around it I'd stop by again!

    After finding out the Pacific Design Center kiosk didn't serve food, we made our way to the original Community Goods. We got there early on a Saturday morning, so street parking wasn't too difficult, but there was already a pretty long line. Thankfully, it moved steadily--we waited about 45 minutes. We came for the famous bacon sliders, and they definitely lived up to the hype. Delicious! Overall, it was a great breakfast, though I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to wait in line again unless I happened to be in the area bright and early.

    So silly me, I got in line before breakfast was over but the line was so long that I couldn't get breakfast anymore because I didn't get to the counter in time. I think Community Goods is one of the most overhyped places by far. I'm not saying the matcha wasn't good, but it's like....1.5 hours forrrr? Not hating just saying. I also got the toast with passionfruit butter or something of the sort, wasn't bad but again, not worth 1.5 hours.

    HANDS DOWN THE BEST MATCHA EVER!! If you're a matcha lover, this place is a must-visit! The matcha was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced--not too bitter or overly sweet. You can really taste the quality, and every sip was fresh and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drinks were beautifully made, and the atmosphere made it even more enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is friendly and welcoming as well! They're super fast when making drinks. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving a good matcha!

    Latte and breakfast sliders

    Tried the breakfast sliders and latte. Really good food to try out due to the hype. Line gets long so line up early. The location does give it a modern hole in the wall vibe.

    Best unemployment activity in LA!! The lines are unreal, but I understand the hype. I only come here exactly at opening time and the wait is about 15-20 minutes. Personally, Community Goods isn't worth more than a 40 minute wait, so I'll never come mid-day. Love the Matcha Einspanner since it's already sweetened, but if you get a different matcha latte it doesn't default with sweetener. You can choose for your drink to be sweetened with maple syrup, vanilla, or honey. I like the vanilla syrup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is cramped and it's all standing room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some seating outside, but it'll likely be taken.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Overall: The wait isn't too bad if you come *super* early and you're waiting in line with a friend :) The drinks are really good, so I'd say try it at least once if you're able to come early. Line/Wait: - Came on a Saturday and joined the line around 7:45 am (opens at 8). The line was out the door, but thankfully didn't turn the corner yet! By the time we got our drinks and stepped out, it was 8:35 am--so about 50 min total. - The line was SO long when we left (around 9 am) and packed *tight* with people waiting. IMO we probably would've just left if the line was that dense when we came. Parking: - It's generally difficult to find parking in the area, but we were able to find street parking along Melrose when we arrived (early morning). The parking meter was 1.50/hour, 2 hrs max. 8a-8p from Mon-Sat, 11a-8p on Sundays. Seating: - [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's limited seating in the back, and the little walkway to the left leading to it. Not a lot of spaces to sit, but the surrounding greenery is pretty to look at while you drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks: - Matcha Einspanner: I prefer my matcha unsweetened and am a bit wary of sweet matcha, but I didn't mind the sweetness of this one at all! It goes well with the matcha and doesn't just feel like a simple syrup thrown into the drink. The creaminess and sweetness is tempered with the sea salt on top, and it comes together with the matcha to make a surprisingly yummy drink. I recommend mixing the drink after your initial sips. :) - Einspanner (w Espresso): Tried my partner's drink, and it was just as delicious! The espresso itself was really smooth, and balanced the sweet cream nicely-- it tasted sweet and creamy without tasting completely like a coffee ice cream. REALLY good! Also recommend mixing this one after you take your initial sips.

    Sliders

    I don't get the hype with this place. I've seen it on YouTube vlogs and TikTok several times so when I was in the area on a Thursday morning I drove by and there was no line. I got the sliders with bacon and an iced matcha with maple syrup. The matcha was really good but the sliders were very mid. They were ready 30 seconds after I ordered, the egg was a weird texture, the bacon was fatty and I thought they had too much cheese. The best part of the sliders was the two sauces it came with. It is not worth waiting in a long line!

Yes, you'll probably have to wait, but in my opinion, it's worth experiencing at least once. If you're a matcha lover, this place definitely deserves a spot on your list.

This place is so cute that I've driven by it a million times thinking it was a fancy restaurant - not a cute hidden gem coffee shop! This particular shop is incredibly popular and always full but if you're lucky you'll get a seat in their adorable little outdoor area. They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!
