Early morning coffee cravings deserve better than the generic spots on every corner. This place stands out. If you're in a rush, ordering online for pickup makes everything seamless and efficient. Metered parking right out front makes it even easier. The coffee? Just right. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what I needed to start the day. One small note: for online orders, I'd request it extra hot next time. Easy. Convenient. Good coffee. I'm in.

Such a gem in Glendale!! Amazing coffee, a nice place with tables and outlets, its perfect for studying or grabbing a coffee on the go. I loved Ani, huge thanks for my cortado.

Love the for here mugs.
Janet G.

Wow. Oh wow. What a great little gem. This place was amazing and the prices even more amazing. Must stop in if you get the chance. Great atmosphere and great staff. The cute coffee art is an awesome added touch to my beverage. We tried a few different drinks and let's just say it is "chefs kiss". Or barista kiss. Ha ha. If you get the chance to try it let me know how you liked it. I just love coffee.

Salmon Toast w/Mashed Avocado Blue Jasmine Matcha Latte
Kristina A.

Visited: 1/9/26 Salmon Toast w/Mashed Avocado: 9.5/10 Absolutely delicious! This is the best salmon toast I've ever had. They were out of their usual bread, so I got ciabatta instead, and it was great. The portion of salmon was very generous and super fresh with a fantastic flavor and perfect seasoning. There was also plenty of avocado, so much that both the salmon and avocado were spilling out of the ciabatta. However, the more I ate, the more I wished there had been a little more bread or less avocado, as the ratio became somewhat overwhelming. Iced Blue Jasmine Matcha: 6/10 It was an ok drink, but I wish the matcha flavor was stronger. The butterfly pea tea overpowered it, and the drink tasted a bit watered down as a whole.

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

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
Куаныш С.

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.

I had a rose latte with 1% milk. It was delicious! The rose flavor was subtle but fragrant, the milk is foamy.

Nice enough place, but they stop brewing coffee in the afternoon. As in, they don't offer it. No, an Americano isn't a good substitute.

WHEN: Sun Dec 14th @11am…read more We have just arrived to SoCal by car, and before checking into our Airbnb, we figure we swing by this spot located in a ghost kitchen to pick up some lunch. After placing an order on their website, you would park in the back lot where it's free parking, and enter a tempt room of lockers. I wish they included this in the text where you are to CALL THEM to let them know you've arrived so they can bring your order out to you. It's not like the other establishment in this shared kitchen where they just leave it in one of the order cubbies to pick up. So here I am like an idiot just standing and waiting in the empty room for my order. I didn't know until I checked my email and it said to call them in my receipt. Oh well. Anyway, here's what I ordered: BASTURMA BRISKET - $29 Hand Carved Basturma Brisket, Pickled Persian Cucumber, Chaman Spread, and Swiss Cheese. Served in freshly baked pita bread. I know, what kind of sandwich costs nearly $30!? But let me tell you, you are getting both quality and quantity in this bad boy. This reads 2 people, and those 2 will enjoy this thoroughly. Yes, it's a bit on the saltier side, but that's why you have the cucumber to balance it out a bit and the warm and soft pita bread. The brisket was tender and I loved the spread (which you can buy!). It's such a unique take on the common pastrami sandwich. So remember: 1. Order online (no phone calls) 2. Park in the back 3. CALL THEM, letting you know you have arrived. 4. Enter through the big doors (its unlocked) 5. Wait for them to come out to retrieve order. 6. Enjoy!

Having heard about this place for years, when it was a backyard operation, I was excited to give it…read morea try. I placed my order online and headed to their ghost kitchen to pick it up. I ordered the Basturma Brisket Sandwich which is their most popular item. I am a big fan of both Basturma and Brisket so this sounded like a match made in heaven. And I was right!!! This sandwich was epic!! The meat was tender and smoky. The spices were perfectly balanced. It had a delicious Chaman Spread, a slice of Swiss cheese and housemade pickled Persian cucumbers. The acidity of the pickles helped to balance out the rich meat. It all came together like magic. The sandwich is quite large, which justifies the $29 price. I only ate half and saved the rest for later. It was just as good cold as it was hot. I can't wait for my friends to try it. They will love it!! Great job III Mas!

In a time where just about everything has gotten so expensive, isn't it time we change our habits to support local businesses that are doing incredible work?

I only wish they could expand to have some real seating as this place is tiny and really a grab and go kind of spot. Kudos to your dedication and hard work in providing Burbank a dedicated meat market and high quality food. P.S. do NOT sleep on the banana pudding in the fridge.

I completely understand that places get busy, but customers should be told upfront if the wait is going to be that long before their order is taken and payment is accepted. At least then you can decide whether you have the time to wait. The waiting area inside is pretty small, but there is some seating outside. Overall, the food was good and I'd consider coming back, but the lack of communication about the wait time really hurt the experience. If you're running over an hour behind, customers should be told before ordering and paying.

I had heard really good things about this place and finally decided to give it a try, especially…read moresince they have a rewards program. I decided to build my own hot sandwich and went with the XL size since I planned on sharing it. For the price, I thought it was a great value! The sandwich was absolutely stuffed with ingredients and definitely filling. I got Dutch Crunch bread with seasoned avocado spread, oven-roasted turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, sprouts, and cucumbers. Everything came together really well and I loved how generous they were with the fillings. The XL size was definitely worth it. I may have just found my new favorite sandwich spot and already looking forward to coming back and trying another combination. Parking can be a little tricky around lunchtime. I had to drive around for a bit before finding a spot in the residential area across the street, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Overall, a great first experience with a generously portioned sandwich and good value for the price.

My food was ready when I arrived so it was a quick in and out. My kid and I loved the Howdy. We each ate one half. I didn't like the Melrose. It was just too salty. That's where I deducted 1.5 stars. Portion size was on the smaller size. Their large is not a large. Probably more like a medium. Definitely smaller than Capriotti large. Gotta try the other sandos but Melrose was a huge miss. Really disappointed as it was their most popular sando. So I'm rounding up from 3.5 stars.
