This cafe is wonderful and has delicious lattes! I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and kind cashiers/baristas. I would definitely come back! And there is free street parking nearby, outlets, and fast and free WiFi! read more

Ideology Coffee - Menu 5/16/25 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

As a business owner myself, I can confidently say that if any of my employees ever behaved the way one of your baristas did today, they'd be fired on the spot. I'm not sure of his name, but the wannabe Justin Bieber look-alike with dark hair, short and has tattoos is in desperate need of a career change. He clearly does not belong in the service industry. We've been loyal customers of Ideology for about four years now, especially since we work nearby. In the past, whenever we've had to bring a drink back, the staff has always been polite and accommodating--which is exactly why we've continued to return despite multiple mistakes. But today was unacceptable. We ordered an iced latte and were instead handed what was essentially a full cup of milk. When we asked politely for it to be fixed, he responded with attitude instead of accountability. Rather than simply remaking the drink, he came back at us with passive-aggressive, under-his-breath comments, as if we wouldn't notice. When I called him out, his smug response was, "If you want, I can give you the email to management so you can file a complaint." First of all, the coffee he made was awful. Second, his attitude was worse. We actually had to return two drinks he prepared today, and both times he acted as though we were the inconvenience. That's not customer service that's arrogance and incompetence. Frankly, if Ideology values keeping loyal customers, this employee's behavior should be addressed immediately. Otherwise, he'll continue to drive people away one snarky remark at a time because this wasn't his first time, just the first time with us but has acted the same with one of my other employees read more

I've been coming here for years, and everything is so yummy. The service is also great! Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just amazing coffee, but also a place that truly feels like home. read more

I really like this place! Close to my home, great coffee, maybe the best cappuccino in Glendale. Friendly baristas. Only thing I wish for is a, hmm, normal bagel, especially since bagels are hard to come by around here. The first time I ordered a bagel here, it had cream cheese on only one side. I've since asked for it cream cheesed on both sides which they politely oblige, but each time I've had to scrape off a mountain of cream cheese for it to be anywhere near edible, even today when I said I don't need extra, just spread on both sides please. Would love it if a standard bagel with cream cheese just meant a normal amount of cream cheese on each side of the bagel. read more

Ideology Coffee - The amount of cream cheese scraped off today. There was still a generous amount on the actual bagel! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

cute place, baristas were nice and attentive. i only ran in to get a caprese sandwich but it was delicious :)

Great spot for coffee in Glendale! Service is friendly and helpful, and space is not bad to sit down! Had their vanilla latte and their blue jasmine matcha latte! Their vanilla latte was pretty good!! One of the better ones I had! We parked at a nearby parking structure to come here! Recommended! :) read more

Ideology Coffee - Vanilla latte and Blue jasmine matcha almond latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

One of my favorite coffee shops in LA area! I'm a regular visitor since 2019 and here are my favorite things: - cappuccino on any plant based milk (especially soy) - matcha is phenomenal! - avo toast - always good bread & avocado quality They also have sweets (bocce balls are to die for) and raf coffee which I'm not sure if you can find elsewhere in town. Additionally, always pleasant service, friendly folks making your coffee & comfy tables & chairs to dine in if you want to take a bite in there. Cute design and amazingly good coffee! I love them and prefer them over 90% of coffee shops. read more

Beautiful and cozy coffee spot on central! My favorite spot to get a pastry & a latte and just enjoy their front glass window! Very friendly staff and amazing coffee/pastries/atmosphere. read more

The iced lavender latte was so yummy! The syrup is made in house, so the taste was so good. If I come back, I will definitely order this drink again. The hot vanilla latte was really yummy too. We asked for a bit more vanilla syrup and the barista was really nice about adding more. The cup designs were super cute! The only downside is that they don't have lids for the iced coffee that don't require a straw. Interior was nice for studying too. We were lucky to have a table that was big enough and had chairs with back support. Parking is of course a hassle because it's Glendale, so it's not the coffee shop's fault. But we parked on the side street for free unlimited because it was Sunday. read more

Cute little spot with a bunch of unique drink options. I ended up choosing this mushroom drink that was pretty good at first but the flavor got weird towards the end. Food was not good at all. read more

i understand it can be busy but i waited 15 minutes at the register before the 2 staff who were right next to it even acknowledged that i was standing there. poor customer service read more

Just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to check out some of the local coffee shops. I tried this spot first and it was a great find! The inside is super cute and comfortable. Great place to hang out, study, or do work. My boyfriend and I got a Chagaccino, a vanilla iced latte and a blueberry muffin. Everything was fresh and tasty and I really appreciated that they have a free water station! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Ideology Coffee - One of the tables where you can sit ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Small little place near the Glendale Galleria. Feature coffee and bagel sandwiches. No eggs on sandwiches available but you can get avo or lox and bagels. Other choices too. They also have pastries too. Lox and bagel sandwich was good. Good solid bagel with plenty of cream cheese and lox. Sandwich was about 14 dollars. Coffee good but about 3.75 dollars. Not cheap, but the going rate for coffee these days. Good to support local shops! read more

The food is good no doubt, but the service... I ordered food but employees were just talking and laughing for literally 10 min

While I was in Glendale earlier today I decided to get a cup of coffee. I like trying places I haven't been before so when I searched Yelp this coffee shop came up. So I decided to give it a try. Very spacious and nicely designed coffee shop. I was greeted by the friendly cashier and also the barista. I ordered a cold brew and asked for easy whole milk, the barista placed the whole milk in a separate cup and told me to add as much as I want. Now that's a wow service. Cause sometimes they add so much milk that you can't drink your coffee. I really enjoyed my coffee. Delicious ... Now let me tell you about this peanut butter cookie I bought. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it thinking it's just a cookie but I regret it. I wish I could have posted a picture so you can see how good this cookie looks. And how great it tasted. I can honestly say it's the best cookie I ever had. And I had many trust me..... if you ever stop by please try this cookie. You won't want it to finish. That's how I felt. And I'm not even a peanut butter cookie kind of person. I love chocolate chip cookies.... But I'll choose this over that anytime. They were having a toy drive at the shop and luckily I had a few unopened boxes of toys that I was planning to donate so it ended up here at this coffee shop. Overall a great place to stop by for coffee and chill time. read more

Ambiance is really chill, and the service is friendly. They made the vanilla latte with oatmilk good, but the mocha is straight up milk with no chocolate flavoring. As a coffee itself, it's pretty good, but as a mocha, it has no flavor. Parking is also pretty difficult for this spot, but I don't blame them as it isn't their fault. Overall a good experience. read more

My husband and I are staying in the area for a few days. We need good coffee every morning and I found this place on Yelp. The ladies staff are super friendly and they work fast to get out coffee ready. Love the space and the casual vibe here. Will definitely come back if you're in town again. read more

Good coffee! I came here on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. I decided to get something different than I usually get and I am glad I did. I got the blue jasmine matcha and it was so good! I drank it so fast and was sad I did not get a bigger one. I also got the almond butter toast and it was like a PB&J. read more

Quality latte, and quick service. Lots of tables are occupied with writers who stay for a while, but there's usually seating options.

so the 4 star review is for the bathroom. had a great mirror/lighting for selfies. i got an iced latte. was just ok. tasted weak and milky. came out fast. i also go avocado toast with lox. very tasty. i always do errands in the area so this is a great spot to grab a quick breakfast to go. read more

Ideology Coffee - my coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

I needed some coffee and instead of going into the local Starbucks, I chose this local coffee house. It was very nice, clean, and had Wi-Fi. They also had a limited assortments of pastries. However, for me all I wanted was a cafe Americano I was able to have it with 2 sugars in the raw and my order came out quickly. This coffee house is quiet to wear. If you wanted to get work done, it's the perfect place to go. read more

Came in for a quick iced americano after lunch because we wanted to walk a bit to fight off the food coma. Interior is decorated nicely. Ample seating and well lit. Staff is extremely friendly. The barista even drew little "latte art" on our iced americano lids when she saw me admiring someone's drink that was waiting on the counter. Will definitely be coming back to study here if I'm ever in the area! read more

Cozy place, you can sit quietly and drink coffee. Very tasty coffee. Employees are friendly.

I've been coming to Ideology Coffee weekly and have always supported this business--until today, when I experienced blatant discrimination. I came in with my fully trained, ADA-compliant service dog, as I've done many times before. But today, a female staff member insisted she was "just a pet," despite me clearly explaining otherwise. I was told we couldn't stay in the café. They poured our drinks into to-go cups without asking and then spilled the coffee while handing it over--no apology, just a dismissive attitude. This is unacceptable behavior, especially toward someone with a disability. It's disappointing and frankly shocking to be treated this way by a place I've supported for so long. A business that claims to be inclusive should know the law and treat people with basic respect. I won't be coming back. read more

Ideology Coffee is located on the ground floor of an office building in downtown Glendale so it's probably targeted for the weekday office crowd. But we came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed! We were lucky to grab the last table :) I had a Cortado and my son decided on an Arnold Palmer because it was such a warm day. Both were good and the friendly barista made them quickly. You enter right into the coffee bar with all the seating to the right. It's nice and clean with a soothing decor that gave the place a positive vibe. No outdoor seating but quite a few different indoor options depending on what you're there for. I saw people studying/working and meeting friends, there was even a couple with a dog. Really nice mix of people that weren't silent but it was quiet enough to read. Not a lot of parking except for metered street parking. But it was Sunday so we found a spot half a block down for free :) read more

#80 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I loved Ideology's chic decor that includes pastel tone furniture and a foliage painted wall. With plentiful tables inside, the coffeeshop seems like a great spot for a coffee date or if you're just looking to get some work done. Service was friendly and my drink was pretty good too. I had ordered one of their seasonal specials, the Blue Jasmine Matcha, which they make by soaking jasmine tea in almond milk overnight and adding matcha and simple syrup to it. All in all, seems like a great spot. Note: Ideology is located in the heart of Glendale, where parking is often an issue. Luckily I was able to grab one of the metered spots around the corner. ******************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Bomb ass coffee in Glendale. Today, I tried a iced caramel latte and my friend got a hot hazelnut latte. We both loved our drinks. The drinks were made fast, but the food took a bit. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. It was fantastic. I'm literally still thinking about it. A coffee shop with good food is just... chefs kiss. I would definitely return when I'm in the area. Parking is metered that's my only pet peeve. read more

This place was rated really well, which is why I suggested meeting my friend here for coffee. She got there first and ordered a green tea latte and a lox bagel. I ordered the same drink with skim milk and the avocado bagel. My bagel came out before hers but only had cream cheese. I went up to the counter and the lady told me I ordered the cream cheese. I specifically remembered ordering the avocado because she asked if I wanted to avocado toast or bagel. They corrected my order. My friend's lox bagel never came out or maybe they gave it to someone else? So they had to remake it. Overall the drinks were good. The way they do the bagels is a bit inefficient as they put them together like a sandwich, rather them eating them with the toppings, on top. Overall this place was okay - maybe an off day with ordering/service. read more

Good study space, however the baristas were rude and the matcha tasted like straight up milk. I went today around 9am when there was a tall blonde guy and asian girl who were making and calling out drinks. The guy on register was very nice, welcomed us and said goodbye when leaving the cafe. However, my matcha was chunky, tasted mostly like milk, and the baristas' attitudes were disappointing. I asked for the WiFi password, took a quick picture of it to show my friend as we were both planning to study for a couple hours. After taking the picture, the guy seemed annoyed for some reason. He mentioned it to the girl he was with, and she made a sarcastic comment--'not the paparazzi.' I didn't want a picture of you on my phone thank you. It felt unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. It was never that serious lol read more

Perfect place for a slow morning to sit and enjoy your breakfast. The coffee here is great.

A bit of a let down because I was exciting to check this place out. The vibes inside are kind of awkward and service is very short and not very friendly. The matcha was also a bit of a letdown for the price- phenomenal jasmine syrup but the matcha was pretty bitter. read more
