Charming Hollywood cafe. We shared the fried egg sandwich and almond croissant. Absolutely delicious. The staff was personable and the ambiance had the perfect old school, urban vibe. Highly recommend! read more

This is one of those spots where you come to drink coffee and work slash study. Plenty of seating and a lot of grab and go orders flowing through. They offer dine in service if you like that type of experience. We ordered an Espresso Shot, Flat White and the Cashew Latte. The espresso shot was good but the flat white fell flat and I say that because it wasn't creamy and smooth. The Cashew latte had no hint of cashew flavor and I kinda expected that since it's hard to mimic the taste. When we ordered the employee had her school book out and it seemed we were a bother to her studies. Dine in service was ordered but they served my espresso shot in a to go cup. They probably thought I was going to let it slide but Hell no. They remade it but with an attitude, not cool. And that's my take on this experience, Peace out read more

I popped into Groundwork Coffee for a TooGoodToGo order this past week and ordered a few other things, as well. Sadly, they didn't have my TGTG order of baked goods so that was cancelled. :( However, staff was very friendly here and it's a nice location for a coffee shop. It was very chill vibes with just a couple people of working so it's a good location if you are looking for a coffee shop to work or study at. I've been to Groundwork's other locations a ton and was happy the menu & drink offerings here are quite similar. My friend and I shared the bagel & lox sandwich which was tasty and enjoyable. For my drink, I went full indulgent and had a huge Viet iced coffee. I appreciate the grande sizes they offer here! Plus you can add chaga/mushroom to any drink for $3 for a nice organic boost to your day. Overall cute shop if you're in the area to pop in! Parking is near impossible but it's a great option near the touristy area of Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame. read more

I was waiting in line for a kbeauty event nearby and got hungry so I asked my bf to go get some food while he got come coffee that he needed. He sent me the menu and we both agreed that the Bitches Brew Hash seemed the easiest to eat in line and sounded most delicious! Instead of poached eggs we changed it to scrambled eggs (err on the side of caution to not get food poisoning). The bowl was so so good! There was plenty of sauce and the ratios were perfect! I would go back to Hollywood area just to eat this dish again. read more

After a recovery session at Sweatheory, I finally visited Groundwork Coffee, a spot I had seen but never tried. I was greeted immediately upon walking in. The Vietnamese iced coffee was incredible rich and strong, exactly what I needed to wake me up and fuel a productive Saturday study session. The space has a really open, inviting layout, perfect whether you are plugging away on your laptop or catching up with friends. The lighting is just right. Between the atmosphere and that coffee, I will definitely be back. read more

One of the best coffee and breakfast spots in town! The breakfast burrito bite with tempeh bacon saves the day with my workday breakfast! And the honey latte with cinnamon does not miss.

Love this location! The location is always very clean and employees are friendly and helpful. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the vegan breakfast burrito (we are vegetarian). Personally I enjoyed the regular breakfast burrito more than the vegan burrito. But both were still very yummy! The total for two burritos and a coffee was $40, which is a bit pricey but that's LA! I was able to snatch a meter street parking spot but might be tricky to find street parking. read more

Horrible service. The barista/ cashier had some sort of an attitude and was super rude and cold, as if he didn't want us there and wanted to close up and leave. After we ordered some drinks and sat down, Dollys sing 9-5 came on and he started singing 10-3 as if to basically say it's time for us to leave although the place closed around 4 and it wasn't even 3 yet. Coffee was horrible, matcha was also not Good and my chai latte was grainy and disgusting it cost over $6! Definitely won't be back! read more

The food and coffee here are great. You can order ahead or order upon arrival. There wasn't much waiting time. They offer a variety of options like breakfast tacos, breakfast sandwich, avocado toast, breakfast burrito, bagels, pastries, etc. they also have a variety of coffees. The breakfast tacos were hearty, the avocado toast was very flavorful and came with a side salad. The burrito bite was great for a small breakfast. The green goddess bowl was hearty with a whole avocado and eggs. The coffees were great too. read more

The pour over was amazing, the service quick and ambiance modern. I tried the Ethiopian blend of coffee and it had notes of citrus which was extraordinary read more

Their northhollywod location is better since it's outside patio and wood cabin rustic vibe. Had coffee at this location. It didn't hit the way when I buy it at North Hollywood location but maybe because I just got it at the wrong batch or something idk. Good coffee, love the G.C bars....it's the closest thing I've found to good organic coffee on the go. Clean coffee Good staff Good service read more

From the pastries to the drinks I have not been disappointed, also rhe food and staff are great

I love horchata so when I saw Horchata Cold Brew on the menu, I had to try it! It's premixed with almond milk, great for non-dairy consumers. It's pretty good but could be a little sweeter. The iced latte with agave & hemp milk was ok. read more

This is my go-to whenever I'm at my LA office or in the Hollywood area. I love Groundwork because: 1) they have a great loose leaf tea selection - and I do mean great! I like black tea, so usually go with Earl Grey or English Breakfast (I prefer the Earl Grey), but they have about a dozen available. 2) ample indoor seating 3) fresh squeezed orange juice! 4) they open at 7am!!! The staff are also very friendly. I have worked from here for short while, too, while waiting for my office to open -- the brick walls do look nice on Zoom meetings :) Great spot! 2022: 116/100 read more

This place is one of my favorite coffee shops in the area, I adore it! I've been meaning to write a review for awhile. The staff is very nice, considerate and attentive. They have a great indoor space for people to sit, relax, and enjoy the vibes in. I love the wooden aesthetic look of this store. Their food is delicious and SO friendly for anyone like me who doesn't consume meat / my vegetarian and vegan friends. Everything on their menu is really good too, I've yet to try something I don't like in their list of items. My only critique is for the Groundwork company Itself and their app. It's SUPER undeveloped and doesn't have very good formatting. You can't order their entire menu on the app, only like two options are available out of their fourteen plus in-person options. So mobile ordering Is a rough experience, but if you visit this place in store it's a ten out of ten! read more

We were on our way to the airport and decided to grab some coffee at a place right around our hotel. To our surprise, Groundwork ended up being one of the better coffees and breakfasts we've had in a café. There weren't a ton of people, so the wait was quick and service was friendly. We got cold brews with a burrito bite. The burrito bite was just the perfect size for filling up till our flight and it was really delicious. Especially loved the chipotle dipping sauce it came with. Wish we would've stopped by sooner in our trip so we could've enjoyed it more than once! Recommend to anyone nearby for a caffeine pick me up. read more

Groundwork Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was in town for an exhibit at the Lighthouse. I stopped by Groundwork to fuel up beforehand. The vibe was chill and the decor was minimal. I liked all the glass windows to be able to take in all of the hustle and bustle of the street. I ordered a horchata cold brew and avocado toast. My drink was delicious. The toast was spicy and messy to eat, but I didn't mind. On my way out I used the restroom and this is when my dining experience took a wrong turn. The bathroom was so gross and dirty. I was in shock with the state in which the bathroom was in~ something that you'd expect at a rural gas station, not at a place that serves food. The sink, toilet, walls, and floors were grimy and greasy. How could staff be ok with this? If I had used the bathroom prior to ordering, I would have walked out. read more

Superior coffee. Best vanilla latte I've had in a long time. 10/10 breakfast tacos they load them up

Rude customer service and 15 minutes waiting to toast a premade sandwich only for it to be soggy, theres 1,000 coffee places in LA and this is not one i would go to again read more

Ok I got a iced oat milk vanilla latte with a chocolate croissant The croissant was a 8 out 10 just because I got it around 3pm so it probably wasn't as fresh. But I would have gave a 10 if he offered to warm it But that's ok. It wasn't important to me. I like to taste it as it is and it was good! The ambiance was cool Wooden chairs and tables Decent size menu I will say that their espresso is the smoothest espresso I've tasted in a long time. And I go to cafes all the time. This latte was perfectly balanced. There was just enough of milk to espresso ratio and the amount of vanilla was absolutely delicious. Service was good because the waiter dealt with me haha I can be a handful and he did his thing I would come back here just to make sure they serve them all up like this, because I literally almost ordered another latte while I was sitting there. I definitely recommend this spot. It's Hollywood tho so parking is metered up B read more

I am a loyal costumer to Groundwork. I drove to this location to get my fav Beehive drink for my partner and I, that I planned my day around to get there just in time to order. I guess the two girls in the store decided to close up 17 minutes before closing time. I got there at 3:43, door was locked and closed sign was up. The print out of hour on the other side of the door says Cafe open until 4pm. The two girls in the store were closing up and ignoring me standing at the door. Really really frustrating. read more

Sooooooooooo......... Their breakfast burrito??? Might be the BEST F#CKING burrito I have EVER had in my life! I let my boss have a bite and she swears there's cocaine in it. Honest, she laid down after having a bite because it makes your knees buckle. In all seriousness it truly is the bomb. Exquisite, delicious, everything about it is perfect. Come for the coffee, stay for the burrito . Start your diet tomorrow. read more

The nice ambiance and energy of this place is what gives it the two starts instead of one. I ordered the beehive matcha latte- one of their specialty drinks- and it is genuinely one of the worst matchas I have ever had. For $7.25 too! I knew I had made a mistake the second I saw my drink come out. The matcha must not have been whisked whatsoever- there were visible clumps throughout the entire drink. Makes sense, I didn't taste a single hint of matcha in my drink. I asked for less sweet, yet this drink still tasted like milk with a load of cinnamon. I might as well have ordered sweetened almond milk. I don't understand how they can have this drink in their specialty menu, yet not even know the basics of how to whisk matcha to avoid these endless clumps. Very disappointed and I am not willing to give this place another try. read more

Always tempted to order here and always turned away by the fact that the breakfast burrito is $18 with no meat. That's highway robbery. Also the pictures on here show larger burritos it's not even the size of my damn hand. How are you charging $18 for a burrito that's not the size of my hand (I'm an average dude). Literally anywhere else is bigger with more everything. Infuriating. read more

Groundwork focuses on organic ingredients but then dispenses in paper cups - go figure. There is a pleasant sit down area to chill with your bestie and discuss the previous evening conquests. There is also food including pastries. Overall the vibe is coffee shop but the seating is metal so your sitting time may be limited. I had a beehive latte with some vanilla which satisfied and eliminated my hangover but that is not medical advice. Very diverse atmosphere. read more

I do love Groundworks Coffee and this location in the heart of Hollywood is no exception. We were early for the Freda show across the street and this was a perfect spot to pass some time. Nice clean shop with plenty of seating inside. The staff was friendly and made our drinks quickly especially considering they were pretty busy. I had a Red Eye, my Son had a Latte and both were very good. This was just a quick pitstop so we didn't have anything to eat but what I saw sure looked good. There is only street parking by the store but we were already parked in a nearby parking structure. read more

I love(d) this place, I still go regularly. In the past year or so it's been less great. New management? The staff seem miserable. Sunday morning I went in and the cashier (a middle aged white guy) was super rude and unfriendly. I was pleasant, polite, and said "thank you" and he would huff and puff around. Don't even get me started with demeanor while I ordered-he was impatient, & avoided eye contact. It was just a really weird experience. Just a heads up if you liked this place before... it's different. I don't know if you need all that drama and attitude on a Sunday... before you've had your coffee. read more
