Good coffee and for a good cause. They plant a tree with each coffee sold, or something like that. They get their beans from a few different places and they roast them right on site. Pretty cool to see; I didn't realize the beans were green in their raw form! I ended up getting a good ol' plain latte and it was great. The espresso was super smooth, perfect without sugar or syrups. The inside space is small, but they have outdoor seating and a cool swing bench. The barista was nice and got our drinks out quickly. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Beautiful historic building. Fantastic food and pastries. I wish they had overnight accommodations where you can just sleep there and wake up in the morning to their breakfast. read more

Had to come downtown after working all night to service my car. What to do whilst I wait....walkabout and find a decent cafe! I walked to this location from Kia Downtown in under 25 min ( love getting steps on the Fitbit! ). Located in the fashion district. It's a small, one man roasting operation, clean and quiet. Yummy pastries on display but I came for cafe and I'm glad I came!! You'll see on the menu a crème brûlée latte; GET IT!!!! Mister barista whipped out a blow torch to caramelize my sugar coated top!!!! I caught a pic of that (thumbs up =D). Stepped outside in the cool morning air to try it: DELICIOUSNESS!!!! This dark roast latte was well worth the traverse!!! Looking for a bargain on digs downtown? Get some Earth Bean brew to see you through!! Downtown Fashion; Check it!! =D read more

I adoreeee Earth Bean! It's a nice, quiet, and quaint escape from the hustle and bustle of the fashion district. I've had a couple of their beverages such as the golden milk, activated chai and matcha drink - all killer however I do reco customizing your drink to your liking as well! Earth bean offers a variety of milk substitutes and syrups to truly make your drink your own. An iced lavender latte or peppermint mocha cappuccino are seasonal faves. The only downside is that parking can be difficult in the fashion district so if you're not lucky enough to find a meter, you're looking at $10-15 at a parking structure. if you're into buying local coffee, you can buy ground/whole bean coffee here as well. read more

I haven't been here in a while since I'm from San Diego and COVID hit. Came here today because I was running errands in LA. I got the iced Carmel latte. Omg it was soooo good! Most of their ingredients are house made and you can taste the quality. I swear I wish they opened one in SD in my hood so I can enjoy the goodness more often. read more

Gotta love the Superfood Coffee! This one has cacao butter, gelatinized maca, & red reishi to relieve stress and boost immunity. The taste is amazing with so many different flavor profiles that balance each other out. If you're into the grass fed butter coffees then this is the coffee for you. I prefer this one to grass fed butter coffees at other places because it is not as heavy as others make it to be. They use less butter and more superfood ingredients to create this drink. It's amazing! Excited to try other things on the menu. The cafe is in the middle of fashion district. It's not too difficult looking for street parking on the weekends! read more

Let me start by saying my wife LOVES the coffee. The service from the company leaves a lot to be desired however. I recently purchased 3 bags of ground coffee via the web but was shipped whole bean instead. This happened because they had an issue with their web hosting service that caused all orders placed using a Chrome browser to revert to whole bean regardless of what you chose to order. I will share that as an IT professional, I did all the research, diagnosed the issue, and made them aware of the problem so they could fix it. The thanks I got was the replacement of ONE bag of coffee and being told I need to purchase a grinder in case this ever happens again. So now the problem is mine because I don't have coffee grinder, really? The only proper response in this scenario would have been to replace ALL THREE bags. Their website had the problem, and it was not an error on my part(which was confirmed by them after the fact). By only shipping one replacement bag they told me they value their immediate profit more than my long term relationship (which was over 3 years up to this point). Additionally, when I received the reply that they confirmed my diagnosis and were sending a single replacement bag, I replied that this was disappointing (and that I should be getting two more replacement bags of the coffee in the correct grind state). The result of this reply, I was greeted by CRICKETS. No e-mail back, no attempt to properly fix the issue. Clearly there isn't any concern at preserving a multi-year relationship. Prior to this I actively promoted their product but can no longer do so in good conscience. Valuing profit over service loses every time. My advice is for others to seek their coffee elsewhere. Earth Bean's reply: Hi Bob, Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. This is the first time this has come up and we have spent the last few days investigating it with Shopify, which we use for our website. They were unable to replicate the issue on their end (see attached correspondence). We did some internal testing and found the issue is happening as you state with only the Chrome browser. Please confirm this is the browser you are using. We have escalated the issue specific to the Chrome browser to Shopify. Until they fix it on their end (it could also be a Chrome issue) we are unable to 'fix' it. I suggest using another browser like Safari or Edge when placing orders with us. We also suggest purchasing a coffee grinder for a better overall coffee experience. To help remedy the issue we are going to send you 1 replacement bag on Monday 2/3. We are also providing a 30% off code (deleted for privacy) for the next order associated with your email address xxxxxxx@xxxx.com. Thank you, Luz Customer Service Team | Earth Bean Coffee info@earthbeancoffee.com 213-267-3929 read more

Earth Bean Coffee is a super cute coffee shop that focuses on being environmentally friendly. Love the use of paper straws, and they serve to-go beverages made of corn plastic, which is compostable. The Americano is fantastic! I also tried a raspberry lemon pound cake they stock from Baker's Kneaded, which was hugely disappointing. It was too moist and it was gluten-free (not mentioned to me at time of purchase). However, Earth Bean Coffee is still a great stop! read more

I think their concept is amazing for the location to reduce carbon foot print. I just wish they had more food options here. read more

Earth Bean Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This semi-hipster vegan coffee shop is nestled on the corner of a small strip mall. It came highly recommended from the owner of Smile Natural Products located on the same strip mall, across from this coffee shop (Check them out. Black owned and sell natural body products). I was unsure what to order and decided to try the iced Matchaful, with Almond milk and a dash of maple syrup. I'll admit I was nervous but it was so delicious. The inside of the coffee shop is small. I love plants and think the drapery of plants closest to the ceiling adds a nice touch to all the brown. The bldg. can maybe fit approx. 10 people comfortably. There is no sitting area inside, but there is a long table outside for folks to gather. There was only one staff present. He was nice and professional. The menu for drinks is much longer than their list for foods and pastries. I had a positive experience, and I look forward to returning when I'am in the area. read more

Although I don't live in LA, when I am there I ALWAYS make time to go to Earth Bean Coffee. There're a million coffee shops everywhere but this one is special. The design of the store is open and airy, and not cluttered with knick-knacks like many of the other shops. I've been a patron for a few years now, and even order their coffee online because I love it that much. Got some of my family members out-of-state hooked, too (hey...free shipping)! Pros: * Good prices (especially for über-trendy DTLA) * Vegan-friendly food that actually FILLS YOU UP * Delicious and unique hand-crafted coffee drinks (some have gold leaf on top) * Nicest staff ever! They are never rude and don't try to rush you * Website ordering available for us out-of-towners * Coffee is organic/fair trade * One tree is planted for every bag of coffee purchased * Totally Instagram-worthy (if you're into that) * Trendy décor yet also minimalist and industrial * Super cool mural by famed local artist "WRDSMTH" Cons: * I don't get to go there often because I live a few hours away * I end up going crazy shopping for things probably don't need in the other shops nearby (in the fashion district area) after I leave Earth Bean because the coffee and snacks get me on a good one (if that is a con). Last time I was there I popped in early May 2020 while on a road trip. I had a cold brew coffee with house-made oat milk. I asked the Barista to make it a little bit sweet and it was PERFECT! It was not too strong or bitter, it had just a touch of sweetness as I requested and was the perfect temperature to keep me cool on an 88-degree day. I paired it with "Avo Smash" which is their version of avocado toast served on a rustic European style bread. The avocado was extremely generous and was complemented nicely by the sweetness of the cherry tomato and crunch of the pine nuts. I tasted the slightest amount of salt which just set all the flavors off. I continued the rest of my drive not feeling too full but never hungry. Nice coffee buzz, too. Earth Bean is just minutes off the I-5 freeway. That day, I took a gamble they would be open because you never really know with the current situation (COVID crisis). As it happens, luck was in my favor! Not only were they open, but the friendly barista was also wearing masks and gloves. I appreciate that the business is following health protocols, and it shows they're running a clean and safe storefront. I didn't stick around long but did see some others picking up "to-go" orders which is a good sign. After I got my subsistence for the rest of the ride, and since I was in the Fashion District, I decided to buy some trendy masks from an outdoor vendor down the street as gifts for friends/family (confessions of a shopaholic). They all loved them! That wouldn't have happened if I didn't have the good sense to make a pit stop for a personal refuel at Earth Bean Coffee. read more

So SO good! I was in town for 2 days for work and we picked up coffee for the whole group both days. We got 2 carafes and since I can't do caffeine I got myself the Cocoa Bliss Booster both times. It was so delicious and super well priced. The Barista was very nice and helpful - also super fast even though we didn't call ahead either day for the carafes. I highly recommend Earth Bean if you are in the area - I will definitely be back anytime I am. read more

Amazing coffee, my new favorite coffee shop, clean ingredients and quick service, wish they were open a little longer

For what must be a year now Tilt Coffee Cafe's Cloud Latte (recently knocked off by Starbucks) has been my favorite coffee beverage in DTLA and the surrounding area. That might still be the case, but it's a close one as Earth Bean Coffee's Creme Brulee Latte has made a strong showing for that same title. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? I'll admit that Earth Bean Coffee's location is a bit unorthodox. The intersection of South Los Angeles and 11th in the Fashion District isn't exactly my go-to neighborhood for a quaint coffee shop compared to say the Arts District or the Northwest suburbs, but with other hot spots like Cilantro Lime nearby Earth Bean Coffee has just as much a right as anyone to try and continue to improve this part of town. Once you're inside the service and atmosphere are fantastic. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $6.00 got me a good sized Creme Brulee Latte, and as you'll see that was essentially a bargain given the quality of this drink. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I've had all shapes and sizes of new age coffee drinks, but a Creme Brulee latte was an entirely new concept for me, and Earth Bean executed it brilliantly. From the caramelized sugar top that could be mixed into the latte to the flavor of the coffee itself, this was more or less a perfect coffee drink in my mind. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Absolutely. Star. read more

I casually stumbled upon this gem while doing some browsing for a charity project... I parked right in front of it and stopped in to get an afternoon pick me up!

Stumbled upon this place between meetings in the Fashion District and sure am glad I did! I'd never heard of this coffee shop, but dang if they don't have a killer aesthetic and fun, healthy menu. Come here for fancy lattes and toasts that Millennial dreams are made of. Was hoping for the "sea green mylk" drink but they were out, so I got the "superfood coffee" instead. It was delicious and served in a nice ceramic cup atop a little wooden board. The owner brought it out to me and was kind enough to come back and check if I wanted it warmed up as I was on a call and didn't drink it right away. There are two small tables inside but the majority of the seating is outside, so something to keep in mind if you were planning on working or having a meeting here. The seating in the alley was cute and relatively quiet, with a few characters here and there (but hey, it's DTLA). Restrooms are shared with some of the other businesses in the building and were very clean--check with the staff at Earth Bean for a key. I'll be back! read more

My favorite coffee shop in the whole Fashion District. Not only is the coffee shop: modern, chic, and full of eye appealing architecture design, it's coffee is freaking AMAZING! Hands down the best roasted coffee in Fashion District. I'm a sucker for express shots followed by sparking water to wash it all down, oat milk mijotos, golden milk drink (like a tumeric latte), and the food is the die for. Helllooooooo next level avo toast, chickpea toast and green pea toast. Large portions with loaded amount of flavor to keep you satisfied for hours. read more

Nice little coffee shop in DTLA Fashion District. Grab a coffee and go shopping. They roast their own beans. The blend was VERY tasty. Loved it. I would come back easily. The place is nicely designed and has shaded seating. Reminds me of a Pasadena Coffee shop where they designed the alley into the shop. Very nice indeed. You need to check out the interior. I will be back to check out the rest of the menu. I had a quick breve cortado. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. They even have a swing in the front to really let loose and enjoy your drinks. read more

Great drinks! I had the "activated chai" and it was delicious. The worker was nice and patient, but he didn't know if the chai was caffeinated or not. Sweet and a good size. The only issue was that the drink was all ice, which was annoying. The store had a nice, LA arts-district aesthetic. There was also a nice outdoor seating area with a swing, which was nice and quiet. read more

I moved here months ago, but didn't look for a coffee shop until today - and it's a good thing, because this place just opened and so far I love it. Very friendly, fast and helpful service and cheaper than I expected!! Even if this weren't the closest coffee shop to my place, I would be going back. I had the chance to try some samples of their pastries, and must try more! Plus, they care about the environment - they have certified compostable cups/lids and many separate trashes/recycling bins :D read more

Earth Bean Coffee - Delicious! With great service :) + Certified compostable cup and lid!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really cute little cafe offering quality caffeine and snacks in the heart of DTLA Fashion District. Note: it is a really small cafe with limited seating. Earth Bean Coffee's distinction is its organic, free trade, and sustainability menu. I ordered their Caprese toast (buffalo mozzarella, Roma tomato, vinaigrette toast), blueberry muffin/coffee cake and green tea. The dishes were well presented on wooden boards with Earth Bean Coffee logo - a nice reminder of the cafe's organic/natural theme. The toast was light and delicious. The blueberry coffee cake paired nicely with my green tea. Overall, Earth Bean Coffee has a limited offering of food and beverages but you can really feel the attention to detail on the items they offer. The only downside is seating. The cafe has only a picnic table/bench in the front and a few seats and tables - mostly outdoor on the side alley/walk way which draws a lot of wind. So it is not a place where you can just hang and chill. Otherwise, Earth Bean Coffee is a five star. read more

-Organic -Vegan -Delicious -Healthy -Friendly What a fantastic find. I'm impressed with the menu of items. I ordered the Vegan Toast Avo Mash with an elixir called "Black Magic" functioning as a detoxing agent. The presentation of my order matched the flavor, creating an overall experience of complete utter satisfaction. A few other reasons to love Earth Bean: - has its own roasting facility inside the shop - playful environment that includes a swing - they plant a tree with each coffee bag purchase I couldn't find anything it needed to improve. Highly recommended! Ciao Amigos! read more

I got a iced lavender latte, I asked for oat milk but pretty sure I was given almond milk. Either way whatever milk it was, was so watery and gritty like there was sand in it. Also the coffee really tasted sour and watery, its a shame because after seeing the great reviews I was really excited and wanted to like the place! Also the to-go cup they use is impossible not to make a mess with. You have to push the paper straw so hard to get it through the slit, so it spills coffee everywhere and also that poked a hole through the flimsy straw so I kept getting air bubbles while drinking, and walked home with coffee spilled all over my hands. Overall not a great experience. The guy who works there is really nice though. Really wanted to like this place, I just moved here and was looking for a local coffee spot, and this being so vegan friendly and close to my apartment would have been perfect! read more

Was very skeptical coming here for lunch with my vegan friend. I literally walked in asking if they had any meat lol. Ordered 3 different items off of the menu preparing for my meal to taste of earth and air. When I received my order, I was surprisingly pleased, not only were my items aesthetically pleasing, but they were full of flavor! LOVE- They prepare your items in front of you! LOVE LOVE - This establishment recycles and uses all recycled materials for their silverware and packaging! -Friendly staff -Cute, simple decor ... I will be returning! read more

Earth Bean Coffee - My food was so pretty, I didn't want to eat it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

RUDE STAFF! I came in not ready to order yet but I had some work to get done and I was excited that I had found this place. Coffee shop culture is that you can come and hangout even if you don't order. NO ONE WAS IN THERE! I wasn't hungry or ready for coffee but the menu did look nice so I typically do order eventually as I go to coffee shops all the time and this is not a problem. I told the guy that I wasn't ready to order just yet and proceeded to sit down. He said "we have a small space and if you don't order then you can't sit in here" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I immediately walked out and will not be returning. It took everything in me not to clap back but I decided to be the bigger person and use Yelp instead. I can understand if it was super packed and busy but these people are greedy and will not have a profitable business if they can't accommodate the fact that not everyone wants to buy something immediately upon arrival! This is a COFFE SHOP, not a 5 star restaurant, HUMBLE YOURSELF! So disappointing read more

I loved the vibe here. The atmosphere, the menu, the wonderful friendly service with a smile, earth friendly materials being used, healthy choices.....What I did not love was my drip coffee. It was just OK. If I went back I would try a latte. But there was all of the roasting equipment and it smelled so good so I got a medium roast and it honestly just tasted kind of burnt and watered down. But really sweet place In an up-and-coming area of downtown. I would give it another chance read more

We came in excited to try the coffee and we asked if there was a restroom. We wanted make sure there was in case we had to use it. The barista responded for customers only in a condescending manner. My friend Was so uncomfortable that she decide to step outside and let me order. On top of that they let another customer order in front of me when I was already ready to order. The customer was favored due to perhaps being a regular. All in all not the best service and the syrup in my drink was all at the bottom. Update: French gentlemen angrily (that worked there ) confronted me and asked us to leave. Yikes lol Response to Earth bean comment: Sir the reason we had that one reusable Starbucks cup is to make an effort to use less plastic.we went there because a local vendor recommended it to us while we waited for an alteration done on a garment.This is just your preconceived opinion which only emphasizes your prejudgement.(Since gentleman had no contact with us)Which was wrong since we purchased a beverage which was still bomb.The point of asking for the restroom is because we were gonna drink beverages. Downtown does not have restroom available at every corner. Also the cafe hours are until five it was only 3:40 and you said four minutes not 15. Patrons were still enjoying their drinks and we were the only ones approached. read more

This place just opened but I'm already impressed to how well this place is doing. A beautiful little corner coffee shop located in DTLA area, two steps away from the Fashion District. The setting is absolutely charming. Along with the harmonious decor and fresh atmosphere, the lovely couple who runs the shop who were so kind, attentive, & welcoming made my first visit even more pleasant. My husband & I hung out here for over an hour. Everything they serve is all natural and all-organic. This establishment is very eco-friendly. They have a variety of flavored coffees, that is unique to this shop. I personally had the cold brew mojito with CBD (pictured), and it was absolutely delicious. After finishing, I wanted another one but it was already late afternoon, and I wasn't trying to stay up all night. They also offer free WiFi, and there's nothing better than great coffee with fast free WiFi -- perfect combo! If I lived close I'd probably be here everyday but I will definitely be coming back, there's still so many other flavors to try. Yum! read more

This is a cute little coffee shop tucked away in the busy streets of LA. My friend stumbled across this place when shopping at the fashion district, and we all went back after our day of shopping. Parking: since we were there for shopping, we parked at a structure for a bargained price of $10 for the day. There might've been street parking nearby, but I didn't pay attention to that. Ambiance: it's a small, cozy coffee shop with limited seating indoors, and seating outdoors. Service: was great! The barista was very attentive to us and our requests. Good/drink: everyone I was with got avocado toast, which they all said was amazing. I had the Chai drink option and it was good. I don't think I'd get it again because it wasn't as strong as I usually like it. They have fun, creative drinks to choose from with different benefits. It was a nice change of coffee shop from what I'm typically used to! read more
