    Elderberry Hibiscus Iced Tea
    Elise B.

    It was busy inside with people eating or working. I ordered a Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte & iced elderberry hibiscus tea. The blue jasmine matcha latte came iced with almond milk infused with jasmine tea and butterfly pea flowers. The color was bright and pretty & it tasted great! They are dog friendly too. Parking- metered street parking

    Welcome to IDEOLOGY coffee. #bnw #glendale

    Coming up....on this hot coffee shop review. Ideology Coffee is a charming coffee gem nestled on the busy Central ave in the heart of downtown Glendale. They offer a wide array of flavorful coffee and tea drinks as well as food dishes. Upon entry you'll quickly notice its interior has plenty of natural light and serene vibe. Moreover, you'll be warmly greeted by a friendly staff. I quickly perused their menu and ordered their Cold Brew Lavender and Chicken Melt Panini sandwich. Drink was refreshing and food was warm, crisp and bloody amazing. This coffee shop offers free wifi and sell some coffee bean bags. Prices were competitive. Service was ridiculous spot on. Plenty of street metered parking. Overall, I was ebullient with their coffee and food. And it's a must-visit spot in the area.

    This is a cute coffee shop on central Avenue. It is a small store with several tables to sit enjoy drinks, food, work and study. Service was good. I didn't have to wait for a long time for my drink. I ordered an iced latte. It was not sweet at all and was good. Some coffee shops make the latte too sweet, but not this location. I had a pleasant experience in this store. Prices are compatible with the other stores in the area. It can be busy in the morning, I visited in the afternoon. There was no line and several people were working on their computers. I would suggest going to this location, if you're looking for a quiet place to study. I didn't notice private parking lot. There are plenty of metered parking spots. I would recommend this coffee shop, if you're looking to try something different than chain coffee shops that are around every corner.

    Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha with Almond Milk
    Allison P.

    A cute little coffee shop in downtown Glendale! I got their Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha with Almond Milk- easily one of the prettiest drinks I've ever gotten! A super interesting concept. I got floral notes from the Jasmine tea, creaminess from the milk, and just a tinge of earthiness from the matcha. My only note is that the matcha could've been a touch stronger, but otherwise, a great choice! Being one of the few coffee shops in the area with seating, Ideology Coffee is the perfect spot for a little coffee date. They have plenty of seating options littered around inside. Come grab a sip and stay awhile.

    Blue Jasmime Matcha Latte
    Aureli R.

    The bagel with avocado, chives, cream cheese, and capers is excellent and I've enjoyed it the few times i've gone. The matcha here is a bit too bitter for me, and I make matcha lattes at home without sugar fairly often. The main reason I rated a bit lower is because I feel the service is always very brisk and the cafe's atmosphere itself is kind or cold and uninviting. I end up leaving immediately once i'm done eating, or sooner, because it feels very awkward inside.

    2 coffees and bagels

    We visited Ideology Coffee in Glendale Place today (09/25/25 around 1:00 pm) and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We ordered 2 coffees (latte and cappuccino) and 2 bagels. Not long after eating there, we both felt unwell and experienced food poisoning. We hadn't eaten anywhere else that day, so I suspect the milk may have been spoiled. The service was also unpleasant. The cashier (a young woman at the register) was very impolite -- when we asked about sandwiches, she rolled her eyes and didn't offer any helpful recommendations. The only positive I can mention is that the location and interior are very nice. You can tell that someone invested a lot into creating a beautiful space. Unfortunately, the service and food safety don't match the quality of the design. Sadly, between the poor service, questionable coffee quality, and the fact that we got sick afterward, I cannot recommend this place.

    Chicken Melt
    Leanna L.

    No line around 2:30 on a Tuesday. Place is very bright and clean, but it was rather warm inside due to the sun. I got the Iced Peach Blossom Matcha Latte with oat milk and honestly it didn't taste like much of anything. It didn't taste bad, it was just bland, and I could barely taste the peach blossom that they said was made in house. The chicken melt was crispy and warm, but similarly lacked flavor and I wish it had more sauce. 3/5 stars for okay tasting items and fast service. Will come back to try a coffee/latte at some point since I live nearby.

    Blue jasmine matcha
    Martin L.

    Was grabbing lunch across the street and decided to check out Ideology after seeing cool photos of the Blue Jasmine Matcha. It definitely looked better than it taste because it was lacking that strong matcha flavor you would normally get when ordering a matcha latte.

    Inside

    A great caffeine stop in downtown Glendale! I've been to this coffee shop a couple times now and have no complaints. This last time I ordered their cinnamon and clove iced latte accompanied by my favorite treat, an almond croissant, what a wondrous breakfast it was! The business itself is very clean and spacious. Well decorated and plenty of seating (inside) available. It's in a popular area so there might not be a table available if you go during peak times. The staff is nice and I overheard them chit-chatting with a regular customer which I thought was sweet. Parking-wise, its on the main busy street with metered parking so take that into consideration especially on busy weekend days. I will continue to come here when I'm in the area for my coffee and sweet treat fix. :)

    Cappuccino
    Mailani S.

    The cappuccino was very tasty and we loved the beautiful blue cup and saucer combo. The set up for the location itself was a bit interesting having a wall separating the space but overall it was cozy!

    Blue Jasmin Matcha Latte (iced)
    Brian V.

    A small coffee shop located in the downtown Glendale area with friendly service and some unique menu items. I came in here because I wanted a pick me up, but it was also hot. I ended up ordering the iced Blue Jasmin Matcha Latte. I usually get iced coffee but wanted to change it up a little bit since it looked fun as well. The drink was refreshing, and I had a good amount of caffeine that I was looking for. There's also a seating area inside where people were working on their computers or just hanging out. Looks like a fun place to be. Maybe next time, but this time I was just grabbing a quick drink to go. On a Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of metered street parking close by.

    Chagaccino
    Antonio R.

    Not as good as it used to be. I used to really enjoy this spot, especially for their Matcha Chaggacino, but lately it's been overwhelmingly sweet--so much so that I couldn't get through more than a few sips. When I brought it up to the cashier, I was told no sweetener is added. However, as someone who visits regularly, I can say with confidence that the flavor has noticeably changed. It's disappointing when feedback is met with a dismissal rather than a solution. I'm giving 3 stars because I believe a good establishment should be open to customer input instead of brushing it off. I hope they take this as constructive feedback.

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.
