You can also tell that a lot of care and thought went into designing this space. I'm obsessed with the blue tile and the perfectly coordinated retail wall. While I was here, I saw such a wide variety of customers, which I loved. You can tell everyone is welcome and that people genuinely feel comfortable spending time here. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the two employees working on 7/31 around 8:00 a.m ("BigVee" & a gentleman with longer hair who made my avocado toast) They were both so friendly and welcoming. It was early, so I would've understood if they were still waking up, but they were both bubbly, kind, and made my morning a little brighter. If a manager sees this, please let them know how amazing they are!

COME HERE IF YOU LOVE SPECIALTY COFFEE…read more DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU LOOK FOR: PRETTY LOOKING/LAYERED SUGAR BOMB DRINKS (nothing wrong with that though! Just wanting to help with expectations if you've never been here.) This place serves purely traditional coffee. I'm new to living in this area in LA (I come from Orange County) and have been trying to visit the coffee shops out here. So far, this is THE BEST from what I've tried so far in terms of specialty coffee. (I don't have a long list that I've visited yet) It's quite refreshing actually, to see a coffee shop that's PURELY specialty coffee. No frills or thrills, just traditional basics done well. Decor is great. I tried the emerald series espresso as a flat white (two of them) which is marketed as rare and exotic. I didn't want to read much too much into it at the moment. I was just wanting my caffeine fix. Both together came out to around $17 (oof!) They at least handed us 2 oz samples of coffee. Presentation of the drinks were done well. You can tell that they really care about the craft because we were waiting unnecessarily long on a slow day. I over heard a 'How did that pull?' while waiting. I appreciate the care.

I was able to nab a spot almost out front for this shop. The workers are nice. Although, the issue I had was the guy making the drinks tried to give my pastry to another customer. Also, there was a female customer he knew that would not stop talking to him. She seemed to be flirting with him and distracting him. Like gurrrrrl, stop you are gonna make him mess up my order and wasting time because he's going slower to talk to you. He already seemed to be behind on orders.

The baristas are friendly, fast, and somehow always in a good mood, with good vibes. The crowd is a fun mix of students, remote workers, and mysterious characters who look like they're plotting their next great invention. The caramel macchiato is the star of the show, balanced, smooth, and sweet enough to make you feel good. The mocha, a flavorful sidekick with rich chocolate notes that punch through like a well‑timed flavor to the palate. And beware, the chocolate croissant is a rare artifact. If you don't get there early, it's gone, probably stolen by someone with excellent taste. A charming hideout for anyone who loves good drinks, good people, and a little everyday magic. Miguel C.

I usually don't like these spritzer coffee drinks but the coffee base was really nice and smooth. I liked it so much that I came back and bought some grounds as a birthday gift for my brother! You can buy their grounds online as well. The prices are fair. The menu is simple and straight forward. The bad: They're only located in farmer's market. They should open a store front! The interesting: There was a sign that explained what Haya meant (sorry, forgot what it was), but at the time, my Japanese nanny said that Haya didn't mean that in Japanese.

Wow that is some fresh coffee! I've been using Haya's medium roasts in my morning espresso routine…read morewhich has produced really tasty shots with great crema. I usually have at least two bags stocked at all times. I also really respect that Haya has kept the prices very reasonable given the economic climate and I really appreciate it.

Wow! Elegant design meets sophisticated vibe meets exquisite coffee here at TB+TB…read more I love a good pourover coffee and this is some of the best I've had. Ordering off their Emerald menu also gets you a free little shot of cold brew(?), and the coffee itself comes on a classy try with a pitcher, lovely cup, and a little card explaining the origin, rarity, and market price of the beans. This presentation really allows you to savor the coffee slowly as it cools and the flavors change - really making an exquisite experience out of a single order of coffee. :)

They had a really good pastry selection and seasonal drink menu. We tried the peach cobbler latte, raspberry mocha, 1+1+1, and Spanish latte. As well as 2 pastries. The 1+1+1 is for dine-in only since it comes all separate. Super cute little set, I have never seen a coffee shop with that on the menu! Their espresso is very light tasting. Favorite drink was probably the Spanish latte, the raspberry mocha was a close second but slightly too sweet for my preference. Favorite pastry was the everything croissant out of the two we ordered, mainly because it had a ton of fluffy whipped cream cheese inside!

At that event, I was a little bummed when there was a mix-up with my order. I had ordered an iced ube latte, but they ended up giving me a Mount Milo drink instead. Fast forward to now and I'm so happy that I'm back. It is Filipino American History Month and visiting this October made for the perfect time. This time I finally got to finally try a drink with ube! I This time, I went with their Halo Halo Latte. Their Halo Halo Latte is essentially Teofilo's coffee inspired take on the classic Halo Halo Filipino dessert. It features a strong Filipino coffee base with red bean, ube and ube cream! Wow! So masarap! I loved how the different flavors came together to capture that Halo Halo taste, with a delicious ube touch that made my drink extra special. It was sweet, creamy, and packed with Filipino inspired flavors. The one thing that I would have preferred was for it to be a little hotter. I ordered it hot, but it arrived more on the lukewarm side. It would have been even better served hot for the morning. That said, it was still a solid and an enjoyable drink overall. It was a bit on the pricey side, coming out to $8.84 with tax and close to $10 with tip. Nevertheless, it was definitely a treat! Overall, I was happy to be back here at Teofilo Coffee Company and finally get my ube fix. I would definitely come back again to try more of their Filipino inspired drinks!

There's a lot I want to say about this spot but I'm a try and keep it short lol…read more My first time visiting was this past Sunday, May 31st. I had my whole day planned out with a list of events to attend but first I wanted to stop by Patria and grab some coffee to start my morning off. Located in a parking lot next to Wilson Park on Compton Blvd and Alameda Street you'll find this nice cut lawn in front of this small white building, Patria Coffee Roaster. Depending on your time of arrival, the parking lot can be full but it's cool cuz there's also street parking available. I was able to park in the lot. After walking in I was welcomed and greeted with positive energy from 2 young ladies who I forgot their names but we'll just call them "A" and "C" lol. A guy to my right was sitting next to the window working on his laptop. And two others against the wall sipping their coffees and doing whatever on their phones. A customer was at the register ordering while another customer walked in to stand in line behind me. I let her go in front of me while I took pics and recorded footage. I like the atmosphere and space a lot. It has a very nice decor. Artwork, pictures and murals with history displayed along the walls. Grab and cold drinks available for purchase. Nice music playing that wasn't too loud but just right to complement a chill coffee shop vibe. "A" was friendly and patient as shared with her this was my first visit. As I browsed thru the coffee menu before making my selection I noticed more costumes coming in. I ordered a medium sized Americano which is $3.75 but I requested to add some hazelnut creamer as well as some almond milk which totaled out to $4.75 which was quite exceptional to me. Giving the location, the quality of service and the quality of the coffee. Not to mention to overall experience. I even thru in a $1 tip. I support the business and love the space. It feels welcoming and safe. The restroom was clean. They also have many different events held there. If you're ever in the area definitely pull up and check em' out. It's black owned as well. I actually ended up sitting there in the lot sipping my coffee while working on my video to post on social media. The coffee was good and tasteful. Didn't need any sugar. Great vibes and great coffee. You can even go the park right next door and get your steps in or just chill. I definitely recommend coming here. If you're passing thru the area or coming to the city, do yourself a favor and pull up. Check em' out. Grab you a coffee or something. Prices are reasonable and the community is welcoming to all individuals.
