    First things first, parking. No matter where you go in LA, the parking is god awful!! This part of town felt like San Francisco because of the lack of parking, small streets, and very hilly lol. Gorgeous though! This coffee shop is located right in the middle of the intersection so you can't miss it. We managed to find street parking that was free, a few blocks down and then just walked on over. They have a few little tables and seating outside and some inside. Gorgeous vintage feel inside and got super busy after we ordered so looks like we got there just in time. The young lady working wasn't smiling and seemed like she didn't feel like being there but at least my order got taken care of lol. No issues and came out pretty quickly. For whatever reason their straws were on the other side/end of the pickup counter so I was definitely lost and confused at first. Also, thankfully they don't use plastic or paper straws but instead they're like these bamboo straws? I'm not quite sure but they are sturdy and worked well! We ordered the Shamrock (iced matcha latte) and an iced Salted Butterscotch latte. Both were fantastic and super delicious! Strong and perfectly sweet, would definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area! Great prices as well for what you get. IG: @ammysalamii

    Pumpkin Matcha

    I came here to get some work done while I was visiting a friend in Cali. Definitely great cafe ambience, and I loved the jazz music they were playing! There was plenty of natural light. It was pretty easy to do work, but it does get a little loud when the workers are making drinks, but that's to be expected. Especially in a smaller cafe like this. As for my drink, there was definitely pumpkin and matcha, but it tasted too weak in my opinion. Overall, definitely a cute place! Thanks for having me :-)

    Salter Butterscotch

    Iced salted butterscotch was pretty solid. Coffee flavor was nice and strong, no need for an extra shot. I would order again.

    Fantastic small neighborhood sidewalk spot. There may be few reasons to come to Adams Square Mini Park, but this coffee shop is high on the list. PARKING No dedicated lot but there is plenty of free street parking everywhere. LOCATION Directly across from gallery and cute mini park for kids. (Be careful crossing the street) SEATING Inside seating on hot days Sidewalk and Park seating on temperate days. DRINKS Many regularly brewed menu items as well as seasonal favorites. My friends are regular here and recommend that you stray from your "regular order" and try something new. FOOD didn't try anything, but some vegan pastries to choose from. SERVICE I've been here only in the morning when the place is usually quite busy, but service is prompt and coffee is hot.

    Fantastic coffee! Got the house made salted caramel latte recommended by the coffee passport! Loved it! Very smooth

    First time coming here. This is the first time I encounter switching milk to half&half is $1.50 and the serve said "half&half milk is expensive thats why". I think that's too much other places they charge .50-1.00 I got cheeky matcha got regular milk because server said half&half cost them a lot. The drink taste like milk with rose flavor which is I like the rose flavor. But I couldn't taste the matcha. Also, got another drink Brown sugar shaken espresso the milk for that is oat milk if we change the milk to regular is $1. The drink is very light. It felt like drink ing milk with water down. Couldn't taste the coffee. I love coffee and I've been to a lot of coffee shop and I think this is the worst coffee shop I have been to in Glendale.

    The mean matcha is delicious! It's a latte with vanilla so it tastes like ice cream. I worked from here once. The music was really loud so do bring headphones. There's tables outside too so I was able to take a meeting outside where it was much quieter. Free street parking. Staff are nice.

    Iced mocha with oatmilk; Salted Caramel Latte

    Such a hidden gem! I love unsuspecting coffee spots, and KAFN totally surprised me in the best way possible. Walked in to find it buzzing with happy caffeine lovers. The salted caramel latte made my husband swoon. My iced mocha, mellow and oat-milky, was a little sip of happiness. Bonus points for the charming neighborhood. 10/10 would caffeinate again

    Cute store
    Julie N.

    This coffee shop was out of the way for me and there is no parking lot, but I will definitely go back because their coffee was so good. Here's what we ordered... Vintage Vanilla latte: Excellent Salted Caramel latte: Excellent The lady who helped us was very friendly at this cute store and our coffees came out quickly. We were there early in the morning on a weekend, so we were able to find a seat indoors to enjoy our coffee. They also had seating outside as well.

    Kafn is one of the few explicitly LGBTQ-friendly spaces in Glendale, and for that, I love them. The coffee is pretty good, too. I would love a second location, ideally in downtown Glendale.

    Laid back vibe, friendly staff and delicious beverages. Needed someplace to hang while waiting for my mom while she had a doc visit. Found this little neighborhood cafe. Commandeered a high top for my desk, ordered a croissant and a matcha latte. Just what I expected. Available WiFi to connect the laptop to and music to work to. If I'm ever back in the area I would revisit. Thanks Kafn.

    Pleasant place for caffeine and lounge or take the brew to-go. Walking into the coffee house I enjoyed the peaceful well lit atmosphere and sweet that there was almost no line. My girlfriend and I were able to read their menu above the bar and select a couple different lattes. We tried a maple latte with an extra shot of espresso for me and lavender latte for my lady. We hung out for a couple minutes by the front window until the barista called our orders. The 16oz iced latte size was great! For my maple, I liked the extra shot of espresso, it gave the drink a slightly more rich brew taste and not too bitter; The subtle sweet maple was still very consistent. My girlfriend's lavender latte was also enjoyable, yes i stole a few sips.. worth it. We finished our coffees in the small park across the street since it was a bright cool Sunday morning. For Kafn Coffee bar, I'd easily come back if I'm in the area again. The coffees were perfect for a Sunday morning treat. i loved the area, and inside of the coffee bar, plus service was good!

    Is there currently indoor seating?

    Yes, as of October 2022!

    Do you have AC?

    Yes, a new system installed when we opened. Even so on the hottest days it can work pretty hard to keep up but is never uncomfortable. It’s a vintage building and sitting by the window facing the sun can still get a little warm.

    Do they roast their own espresso?

    Not yet. It is roasted in the Bay Area by Manufatory. We are looking into setup a roasting operation in a warehouse in montrose since one of our Baristas also has a small roasting business.

    Is there a seasonal drink menu this fall and winter?

    In addition to our special menu, we have a few things off book that are pretty cool. We are trying to avoid a “secret menu” ala In and Out Burger, but thing are changing faster than the printer.… Read more

    Does Kafn offer any decaf coffee drinks/lattes?

    Absolutely! All of our drinks are available as decaf and we offer decaf Americanos for brewed coffee. We can't brew a carafe of decaf and guarantee it's freshness, hence the espresso based solution. When we introduce the pour over station we can… Read more

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Walking back to the mall, it didn't last long at all. The drink was so warm and not cold whatsoever. The ice didn't do anything and it was very disappointing.

This was also my very first time at this location, and I must say it was quite a treat! The coffee shop is conveniently located right across from the Americana, so you can easily street park or park at the mall and walk over. It was busy when I arrived on a Friday afternoon, but there were still tables available both inside had outside. The chairs are not the comfiest, but the shop is still very clean and well maintained! When I approached the counter, I was greeted by the friendly employees who were busy preparing orders. This gave me the opportunity to peruse their unique menu and settle upon a latte to order. My sweet tooth was in effect and I opted for the Tiramisu latte with oat milk and was asked if sweet was ok! I thought it was so cool how you're able to customize the drink as you please and bonus points for no charge for nondairy milk. It was very affordable at $6.85. My latte came out pretty quickly and I marveled at the cocoa powdered topping. It truly tasted like a dessert and was so rich and indulgent yet somehow I didn't feel gross after drinking it. The oat milk was creamy and perfectly frothed and the espresso was well balanced. I had a dance class that night and it gave me just the right amount of energy to make it through the class yet still manage to sleep fine that night!

There are several tables inside and I notice couple of tables outside. Store was very clean and well maintained. They also had sample cookies by the register for customers to try which was a nice gesture . This coffee shop is located in walking distance from Americana which makes it a great spot to grab coffee after shopping. There is street parking available and Americana/ Glendale Galleria are another option for parking. I will be back to try different coffees , since the menu looks different than other coffee places.
