As the 3rd wave of coffee collect their bag/ sell out to private equity and corporations, the 4th wave has come to save us. That being said, Eightfold is the best shop in the Arts District. Tucked away in a nondescript enclave of offices and most notably the restaurant, Girl and the Goat, this shop has a great vibe. Not too large that it's filled with campers hogging the tables, but not too small where it's uncomfortable to sit and have a drink and conversation. Some of my favorites include Espresso Citrus Tonic and Iced Spanish Latte Support your local 4th wave coffee shop! read more

Got the matcha latte, and it was good but not mind-blowing! They use Ippodo matcha, so you can tell they're working with quality matcha. That said, my latte leaned a little too milk-heavy for my taste since I prefer my matcha more concentrated and matcha-forward. It was also a bit grainy at times, with a brighter, milkier green color and a nice roasty matcha flavor. It comes unsweetened, which helps enhance the matcha flavor. Overall, a solid cup, but not one that completely blew me away! read more

What a nice little coffee shop! They have seating inside and it's a really calm environment. The barista was really nice and welcoming too. I ordered the classic, an iced vanilla latte. It was good! Tasted a little nutty which I enjoyed a lot. If i'm back in the area I'll definitely stop by again! read more

If you're looking for the perfect afternoon coffee fix, this is the place to go. I forgot I had Eightfold Coffee bookmarked and stopped by on my was out of LA. I recently started getting into espresso tonics, but the orange espresso tonic here is my new staple. It has the perfect balance between the orange, espresso, and fizz for the summer heart. Had I dined in, I would easily order two. Will most definitely be coming back here in the future! read more

Eightfold as I've been told has coffee that's delicious and bold. If it wasn't it would be the barista I would scold for the standards they need to uphold. After my first sip the story starts to unfold about the positive outcome that were told. I hit up their Orange Espresso tonic and after I was done I felt so bionic or maybe Supersonic, LoL. So on with this story to tell. So my second drink was the specialty Strawberry Kiss and if you love strawberries then this is not to be missed and especially if it has strawberry bits along with chocolate and espresso. While we were waiting for our drinks I also tried their Cortado and it was pretty good. Limited seating inside but they do have a spacious outdoor area and if you're like me then alfresco is where you want to be. Service was decent and they have a parking garage down the street if you can't find any parking. And that's my take on it, Peace out... read more

Stopped here on the way to lunch. This place has an industrial kind of vibe with the concrete floors and white walls. We ordered an iced hazelnut latte, half sweet with whole milk and a hojicha latte, hot. Took about 15 minutes for our drinks. My latte was pretty bland, did not have a super hazelnutty flavor, probably since it was half sweet. The coffee flavor was not super strong either. The hojicha latte had the opposite problem where it was a little too sweet (also maybe our bad for not asking for less sugar). Service was average, not bad but not overly friendly. Overall very average coffee shop. read more

This is such a cute coffee spot within the Arts District! I appreciated how many matcha options this place had (albeit the price jump scared me a bit). I walked in and was immediately greeted by the barista, with a few people working on their laptops. My drink, the matcha sweetie, was made pretty fast and I got to drink a bit indoors. It hit hard and I would definitely come back to try their other matcha options! read more

Was really looking forward to trying this coffee shop as I saw they served a blood orange tonic so I decided to slide by before work . When I arrived I ordered the tonic with blood orange simple syrup and was given a tonic with simply orange juice lol when I asked them about the blood orange they proceeded to say they never make it that way and that it's made with simply oj. read more

Great little coffee shop in the middle of LA's Art District. Asked for a decaf Americano with some cinnamon and the coffee was good. It wasn't too strong, but mild- perfect mid day. The shop is small, but some seating inside to enjoy your drink. There is also seating outdoors too. read more

What a great coffee shop in the Arts District. It's a great place to get some laptops up time whilst sipping on a coffee. I ordered the OJ creamsicle which was delicious. It was a perfect way to give me a mid-day pick me up. I would definitely come back here for some coworking time with a colleague or if I'm looking to get away from my home office for a few hours. read more

Went on a Saturday morning for a cold brew. First sip coffee was pretty sour was unable to continue to drink I asked the barista if I could get a new drink his response "well you need to buy a new drink since you tried it" unbelievable response! I spent $10 on one drink and barista suggested I buy a new one since I took one sip. Worst experience I would not recommend. Also still didn't like the second drink ! read more

There's a lot of coffee shops in the Arts District but if you're ever in this area I would definitely recommend this spot. I was told recently that they stopped serving the avocado toast (the one in the pic) and I was actually heartbroken because this is the ONLYYYY place I ever got avocado toast from because it was THAT good :( i was also told that they have it at there other location but it is so sad because this place is closer to me. Anyway, I used to always love getting their hot matcha with no sweetener but unfortunately my heart can't handle the caffeine anymore but the matcha lattes here are really good!! Perfect balance of matcha to milk ratio. Now I go for their Golden Milk which is delicious!! Inside is always kept clean, baristas are always nice, and they have music playing but at the perfect volume as well. Overall a great coffee shop! read more

Cute little spot in Arts District. Very bare bones warehouse feel, but still welcoming enough to stay for a bit. They have room inside to seat about 10 people. It's quiet and even with the "no animals except service animals" sign, appeared to be dog-friendly, with a cute pup playing with my kid while we waited for our order. There are also some tables outside in the courtyard area by the entrance. It's not somewhere I'd recommend if you're in a hurry - nobody there is in a rush (but kind of in a refreshing way) - but if you have a few minutes to spare, it's worth the wait for decent quality espresso. The menu is small but sufficient, and I quite like the simplicity if it. My takeaway is that they don't do too much, but what they do (drink-wise), they aim to do well. I got an iced americano and a cinnamon roll and found the espresso to be better than average. The pastry was just OK. Parking is tough - street parking only - as is expected, but not impossible. Staff was very friendly and it seemed like everyone got on, contributing to the intimate vibe. All in all, I'd say I'd stop in again if I happened to be in the area, but wouldn't seek this place out if it weren't just the most geographically convenient option. read more

Not all places will be up to par...he only was to find out is to give it a try... but when it disappoints, it hurts to spend your hard earned money lol.... Located in the arts district so decided to try Too many good coffee spots in the arts district And had good expectations... Annnndddd.... NO bueno my friends.... Coffee was not good... didn't have that hmmm first sip... bitter for my taste and had to throw away half of the cup... that was disappointing... Was told they brew light roast... Wife orderd the Spanish latte, and had to throw half of it away... just wasnt up to par... Baked goods, had your tradition croissant, about 4 to choose from and about 5 vegan options... went with the vegan carrot muffin... AND..?! We just ate half... sorry to write this, but just average, not good and wasnt bad (know what I mean) ... maybe bcuz im not vegan?! Idk .. Staff was ok..., no real interaction, just order, pay and that's all.... Nice walkway outside, plenty of spots to sit dont think is part of this coffee shop, maybe part of the lofts close by, but nice area to sit... Street parking, can find some spots just drive around.. or parking lot next to this place (dont know if they charge)... What did I do after I basically didn't enjoy this place....???!!! Went to Maru coffee (i love that spot).... and made up for this... Well, won't go back... If you go.... Enjoy... read more

Wow, the flavors are so good! I had a hojucha latte and it took me back to Japan. It was so we'll balanced. I also tried it with chocolate and that was mind-blowingly amazing. Overall delicious drinks that are made to order. Very sweet, polite, and fast service. The seating was very nice with the big giant windows and tall ceilings. We stayed for a few hours because it was so comfortable there. read more

Always so convenient to grab a quick coffee from Eightfold. They have online ordering available as well for easy pickups. My fave here is the chocolate hojicha dream. It's hojicha with chocolate syrup and I haven't found this drink anywhere else - add a shot or two of espresso to make it stronger if you'd like! read more

Really cool spot. Baristas are nice and super quick. I ordered the Spanish latte because I've heard great things about it and it didn't disappoint. It's made with espresso, your choice of milk and a few ounces or condensed milk -- I was worried it was going to be too sweet but it was perfect as-is. Location was also quite nice and there's a bunch of free parking on the side streets. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

White guy that takes your order and Asian girl making the coffee can find an another job. Super rude! All you do all day is make coffee, woooww how hard.... go find another job if you're so miserable. Don't ask for coffee recommendations or heat your pastry if you want the rudest most obnoxious answer. So many better coffee shops in the arts district that serve with a smile. read more

It's a really small place in the Matteo building in the arts district of downtown LA. They sell pastries from the bread lounge and they sell candles and other random items. I went for the matcha and it was pretty good. The strawberry iced matcha was better than their hot matcha latte. The prices are a little higher than the other places I've been to in the area. Overall I enjoyed it and would be back. read more

Took my friend here for a birthday cafecito and we both got Spanish lattes half-sweet with oatmilk. Fue delicioso!!! Def needed that half sweet bc the full one might've been too much very cute coffee shop, plenty of parking on streets nearby. Not very much space inside the actual coffee shop but I did see one outlet, but they had a nice large bar style table outdoors to sit at. Super cute shop if you're in the area with great coffee read more

Met a colleague here for a work meeting and both of us had a hard time finding the location. Once found, the coffee shop is cute and clean. Tables are small but outlets + wifi are available which is great for working. I had the hojicha latte with oat milk which was a great unique alternative since I don't drink coffee anymore. The hojicha latte was mild, nutty, earthy and not too sweet. I believe you can add a syrup if you like your tea lattes on the sweeter side. Employees were attentive and helpful when making suggestions. Parking: Street parking or there's a public parking garage nearby but the coffee shop doesnt validate parking. Parking cost me $12 for a little over an hour. read more

Eightfold Coffee - Hojicha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I want to start off by saying this place has been my girlfriend and I's favorite coffee shop for a long time! As the years went on though, the service started changing, they got rid of the avocado toast (which I understand from a business perspective) and it doesn't feel as welcoming anymore. The last 2 times I've gone I had really bad customer service. One of the girls is rude and looks forced to say hi to customers but when her friends come in she talks with them for a long time. They forgot about my bagels and I was waiting for 15 min giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were busy but then when all the customers after me left I was annoyed because they clearly forgot my order. We miss the old Eightfold. read more

A little hidden gem! Super nice people and fast service! It is a hidden gem because it is hard to find and the outside signs aren't too noticeable. But if you find this place and make it, you'll be pleased! The atmosphere is calm and inviting. I got the Spanish Latte with oat milk and with a lemon poppy muffin. I forgot to ask where the muffins are made, but it was quite good! I came on a Saturday at afternoon and it was comfortably not busy. But there seemed to be a constant flow of people walking in :) I got my order to go, but there are decent sitting and standing options inside and out. I love the "hidden" aspect of this place in an area filled with other very busy coffee places literally around the block! If you make your way here and find parking (this could be an issue for street parking, but there is a parking structure next door), you won't really regret coming here and grabbing a cup! read more

The best latte I've had in a really long time They make their sweeteners in-house. The latte isn't too milky or watery, it's just right!

Love this place and it's such a great spot in the At Mateo complex! I've come here several times for coffee and food and I haven't been disappointed yet. The lattes are amazing - especially with the vanilla, lavender, and Spanish flavor. I also really liked the Hojicha Latte. As for food, I've enjoyed their chocolate croissants, the avocado toast, and their everything bagels (you can get them with cream cheese or avocado mash - both delicious). Love this place! read more

This is my favorite coffee place! My boyfriend and I drive from Downey to the Arts District almost every weekend to grab our breakfast here.

Nice atmosphere sitting outside the coffee is heat and the girls that works here is amazing so sweet.

Really liked the coffee I got here, but I ordered a coffee and a Matcha danish and they never gave me my danish. I even sat outside to drink my coffee but the girl never gave it to me! Partially my fault for forgetting, didn't remember until I saw the $12 charge at home - but also not the best service considering my best friend and I were the only two at the register. read more

Does Eightfold Coffee allow doggos? Yes, very dog friendly establishment with outdoor seating areas. Eightfold is a local coffee establishment with one location in Echo Park and another here in Arts District. This review is for the Arts District location. The staff here are always friendly. They have a good selection of various drinks and snacks, ranging from teas to lattes. I don't think they make the best coffee compared to some other coffee shops in the neighborhood, but their lattes are satisfactory. Today I tried their seasonal specialty peppermint mocha latte with oat milk. It had just the right amount of minty-ness with flavor of mocha. My favorite pastry to get here is the ham and cheese croissant. Overall, Eightfold is a good option to try if you're in the neighborhood. Street parking in this area can be challenging but there's a paid parking structure at Mateo building. read more

Definitely will be coming back! * Vanilla iced Latte with almond milk 10/10 * Spanish latte with almond milk 10/10 * Donut hole with matcha cream filling 10000/10 (I FREAKING LOVE THESE THINGS WAYYY TOO MUCH) the chokehold they had on me right after finishing them all was insane! I would've bought more but I bought the last batch of them read more

Really good coffee with average amt of seating. Seating to outlet ratio on the inside is pretty good but seating just isn't that numbered. Aside from coffee, they also sell soy candles, prints (I think) from local makers, and eightfold apparel with 10% going to a dog shelter. You can also purchase coffee making things here like an Aeropress, and of course they sell pre roasted whole beans. Pleasantly surprised at how good the drinks were. Baristas worked fast so we got orders in just a couple mins. I ordered the iced Americano black & the beans tasted ground fresh. Really good Americano and depending on if you take it with creamer or sugar it's also suitable for your taste. Iced mocha was also one of the best mochas I've had. Instead of chocolate I really tasted cocoa powder above anything else. I much prefer this to chocolate flavored syrup that usually comes with mochas. Very pleasant! Some of the most worthwhile drinks I've had in LA. Hours are a little wonky for working (7:30 AM to- 3 PM), but perfect for early risers. With the amount of outlets & good drinks I'll definitely be returning. read more
