Wifi: fast Seating: good amount indoors, a couple outdoors, crowded but not uncomfortable Outlets: did not see Coffee: Quite good! Other things: broad pastry selection, parking situation is excellent (free on the curb, small lot in the back), coffee comes in to-go cups or dine-in mugs read more

I have history with Lamill Coffee--like real history. Back in 2008, this place felt like a quiet luxury before I even had the words for it. Coming back now... it feels familiar, just with a few shifts. The lavender coffee is still beautifully made--smooth, fragrant, and intentional. They haven't lost their touch when it comes to quality. But at around $10, it definitely made me pause for a second. That said, there's still a lot to love. The food and drinks are consistently solid, and the space itself remains one of the highlights. Plenty of outdoor seating in both the front and back, and it still gives that calm, tucked-away feeling. One thing that was a bit of a bummer though-no outlets. For a place you want to sit, stay, and maybe get a little work or journaling done, that absence stands out more than I expected. Parking is manageable-street or behind the building if you catch a spot. I still have a soft spot for Lamill. It's just one of those places I come back to with a little more intention now, and still appreciate for what it is. read more

I've been a regular here for 20+ years now, continuing to frequent them through changes in the management, covid, and countless menu changes...however it's becoming more and more a cold transactional experience one would expect from Starbucks rather than what used to be a warm and inviting neighborhood coffee shop, and that's the anthesis of what a neighborhood shop should be. Sure, the coffee is good and it's convenient, but that only goes so far... Employees are constantly being turning over instead of rewarded with raises for getting to know their customers. They've also gotten rid of ceramic cups, instead going to an all to-go paper cup model...which discourages sitting and enjoying the coffee, and instead suggests they just want you to take the order and go despite the large dining area. What really took the cake was when a new cashier misheard my order, which has been the same for I don't know how many years. I realized the mistake as she handed me my order and as what I wanted was $0.50 more, she proceeded to charge me again for the $0.50 difference. Meanwhile, another local restaurant empowers its longtime employees to comp drinks or side dishes for regulars, and there's always a line out the door. 20+ years of loyalty, ruined because current ownership learned restaurant management from a book, and has decided to treat its customers as a number, and not as the neighbors who have patronized them for decades. I'm now going next door to Botanica for my morning coffee now where they treat me as a neighbor first, and as a customer second. read more

Saturday morning must visit, fresh pastries and drinks is what I was told. The hot chocolate was frothy, sweet and delicious. Croissants were cold... the bacon cheddar and chive scone was highly anticipated but fell flat. Very salty and unimpressive. It is fragrant and cozy aspect to the lobby/sitting area. Outdoor seating options and plenty of choices. Clean one stall restrooms. read more

My wife needed to use the restroom, so we stopped in. I ordered a coffee at the counter while she went inside. I told the barista it was my first time there and asked for recommendations, as I was looking for an iced latte. They suggested I could have any drink made as a latte, so I went with the Vanilla Bean Latte, which they said was a popular choice. We visited during the week around lunchtime and it was very busy inside and out. We managed to find a recently vacated table, but it wasn't cleared, so it remained messy for the duration of our visit. We didn't stay long because we had other things to do. I would come back for a latte! read more

I have never been here before; only enjoying their teas at a spa that I was familiar with. I had swiped an Earl Grey from there to give to an associate, and they loved it so much that they came here to buy their own box, in addition to getting me one of my favorites, Moroccan Mint. I know this has nothing to do with the taste of the tea, but the box design is beautiful. Long overdue, I wanted to return the favor, and knew I'd have to make my way over to their shop to do so. I do not go into this neighborhood often, so I tried to map everything out prior, including checking out yelp. One thing I was immediately put off by was the fee that is added to the checks. It didn't appear as though this could have the option of being removed either. Either way, this was one of the rare times I'll just take one for the team. Parking is tricky, but I found a spot just past the light on the corner. Walking over, I encountered a tiny line, but glad I checked out photos on here as I knew exactly where to find the boxes of hot tea. Once I arrived to the front, a friendly girl greeted me and asked if I wanted anything else. Of course, I gave into a chocolate croissant since I saw it sitting there, so I might as well. Offered me a bag after ringing me up, and handed me the requested receipt. I hate to say, but the croissant was pretty darn good. Quite flaky where pieces were falling off (but if you know me, I still ate those fallen pieces). Pleasantly surprised as I checked out my receipt, there was no fee tacked onto this purchase; perhaps since it was a retail one (although the croissant was not, but it was to go?), it was just the appropriate tax charged, and that was it. I still wanted to kick myself for spending nearly $30 for those three items, but it was a trip that was worth it after all. Due to the nice girl, selection of items being in stock, and the really good chocolate croissant, I won't mind visiting again. read more

Surprised to see so many mixed reviews about this Silverlake coffee shop. I thought it was great, and the menu featured a few very cool, unique options I knew I had to try. For this first visit, I went with their Hong Kong milk tea. Now, I was initially looking for a lower caffeine option, and it is only after I ordered that I decided to look up the caffeine content online and I saw it's actually very loaded with caffeine. But, that's on me. The actual drink itself was great. Actually, one of my favorite drinks that I tried during my trip. I will say the top is loaded with a lot of froth, but the actual tea itself is wonderful. Nicely creamy, perfect balance of sweetness, tea flavor is still strong, and just hits the spot in every way I wanted. Really recommend trying it even as a first timer like myself. read more

After a run around the reservoir it's the perfect stop to hydrate. Friendly service and solid food

Vibes here are always fantastic, thanks to staff and managers, a chill place to catch up with a friend over brunch. They've got a limited batch of pastries with fun combos like blue corn cake loaves and a fairly affordable brunch menu. I loved my veggie quiche, though I wish it had more veggies beyond celery and artichoke (?). The side salad though made up for it. Light, fresh, bright. read more

The line took so long, we probably waited around 30min on a Saturday at 11:00am. The staff was really nice though. They greeted us with such fun and upbeat energy, which is an amazing feat thinking about how many people he had to interact with. I ordered the spinach feta danish pastry, and then the mixed berry pop tart. Spinach feta pastry -- delicious. Yum! The pastry part was so buttery and flaky and well baked. So delicious, I would definitely get it again. The mixed berry pop tart was good... I wouldn't get it again though. I don't know. Nothing to write home about. What I was most excited about: The Ube Cream Coconut Matcha Latte -- it was okay. The matcha latte part was meh, the ube part was meh. It just didn't hit that well. I miss Porto's ube matcha. I don't know. Flavors just didn't go crazy, so yeah. It was a wonderful vibe, but I don't think I'd necessarily come back. Although I might because it's kind of the only coffee place nearby the reservoir and I love walking around. read more

Six months has passed and I came back to see if there were any improvements. To my surprise, the place has officially, and unfortunately gone completely downhill; definitely not what it used to be. What once felt like an elite, and comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, now feels like a fast-food joint/takeout-style place. I am not sure how long they are willing to serve their drinks in paper or plastic cups only, but whoever's idea was to ditch regular ceramic cups and go paper/plastic only is terrible. In addition, the food menu has cut down completely, they do not have a lot of things they used to. I understand times for businesses are currently tough and supplies are expensive with the current economy, but that should not be an excuse for getting rid of the way the drinks and foods are presented. The last time Lamill felt terrible like this was right after the pandemic, but then they got back to a little normalcy. Things were great after that, especially spring of last year, then around fall of last year I don't know why things started to go downhill. I don't know when I will come back here next, but I hope when I do things would be back to how it used to be. read more

I'm probably not cool enough to be here but as a coffee snob this is the sweet spot. Walkable. Waitable. Drinkable

I used to love going to Lamill every morning for several years. I would tell all my friends how amazing their drinks and food were. The ambiance was great, and it's located in such a wonderful neighborhood. The servers were friendly, and everything just felt right in the world. I'm not sure what happened over the last six months, but everything has changed. It started with the premixed matcha--after that, I stopped coming in regularly. Then I remembered they used to have some great loose-leaf teas, but again I was disappointed, receiving bitter tea leaves that were nearly undrinkable. I also remember coming in on weekends and enjoying a breakfast sandwich or avocado toast. That's gone too. Now, they only offer the same pastries over and over again--uninspired and bland. There are better cafés in this neighborhood now. I'm sad to see how far Lamill has fallen. Would not recommend. read more

Lamill Coffee - matcha latte and vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great place for a chat and a bite. First, there is some parking in the back but it's likely full. It's more of a hassle to go into the lot and get turned around and then back out onto the street so I would recommend grabbing a two hour spot on the street. All the tables and chairs were occupied inside but it was easy to find a table outside. They all had sun protection. It seems like a place people hang out and do some laptop camping. It has a good vibe so maybe they feel it and get some good work done! The food: Chicken Ceasar Salad. $19.50. First of all, I don't even like it, but my friend does and we each picked something to split. This was her choice, and you know what? It was really good! I was afraid the chicken would be dry but it wasn't. It was moist and tasty. Thumbs up! I ordered avocado toast. $15.50. It was delicious. It was a little difficult to cut. I actually would have preferred something other than a bread knife to cut it. Still, it was excellent and so was the presentation. They really prettied it up! Big yes on the avo toast! This is a great place if you want to get a feel for the Silverlake scene. If you have a friend from out of town, this would be a place where they can get a slice of LA life. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Loved it and you will too! read more

it would be nice to have the option of proper plates and ceramic cups as an option if you are eating at the restaurant. I can't justify spending $30 for a cup of coffee in a paper cup and throw away plates (although sustainable) it seems like they're going down with this option. read more

Amazing place for a meeting, or for a personal read. It has my favorite outdoor patio. All the pastries are to die for. But Lamill, I beg you, please bring back glass teapots - we have enough microplastic in our lives. read more

Lamill has my favorite tea. I ordered one iced tea delivered. No frills, no special order. One item. Tell me why this location delivered a coffee with a slip that says ICED TEA? For $15!? Ruby girl this is my 13th reason. Tried calling for an hour before giving up- they don't answer. I don't want to make a second order or drive down there if they're not going to make this right. read more

Long overdue review.. I don't even think they still serve the ube matcha latte.. but when I had it it was delicious.. I also had the tomato tart.. warmed up.. and it was great too.. I usually park by the lake and just walk over.. it's never been a problem and honestly makes the visit feel even nicer.. only thing I'd love to see is a tofu or vegan food option on the menu.. would be awesome to have something savory for plant-based folks.. it's a cute spot with good drinks and food.. definitely one of those places I recommend to friends when they're in the area read more

Such a cute vibe!!!! Had such a nice time at LAMILL Coffee! The pastries were fresh out of the oven--warm, soft, and so good.

This place is pretty nice, but the inside is pretty packed. I wish they had more seating indoors. However, they do have extra seating outside, and they have water cups inside and outside, which makes it super convenient. I got the BLT and I loved it. The sourdough was really good, and I enjoyed it a lot. I feel like they added some kind of chipotle sauce on it, which was amazing. read more

This is an oddly specific review, but, coffee doesn't have to be burnt to bitterness. The line was all the way out the door and down the sidewalk and took a really long time. I understand it's busy that's fine but I wrongly assumed it must mean the coffee is worth the wait. I saw they had Ethiopian coffee and was soo excited as that is one of my favorite beans. I got my coffee to go only to leave and try it to find it was incredibly bitter. So sad :( read more

Been going here for years. Overall experience great! One of the only places I've found around this area that actually froth an Iced Oat Capp. =) I've had several of their pastries , yogurt, chia parfait, breakfast Sandwich, breakfast Silverlake burrito, side bacon, Arnold Palmer and lunch sandwiches. Room for improvement: food handling and consistent quality, more gluten free "easy to go" items, better Chia Tea, new or seasonal food items! That is all and thank you for all you do! read more

Felt more like a trap than a café experience. I ordered three avocado toasts at LaMill. When I got to the counter, the cashier asked, "How would you like your egg?"which, in literally every context I've ever experienced, means the egg is included. No mention of it being extra. No upsell. Just a casual assumption that you'd obviously want an egg on your toast (because... who doesn't, right?). So imagine my surprise when I went to pay and found a $9 surcharge for eggs $3 extra per toast. This kind of thing drives me nuts. It's emblematic of everything I can't stand about LA coffee shop culture: the smiley, curated minimalism that disguises a quiet little ambush on your wallet. If they'd simply asked, "Would you like to add an egg for $3?" I could make an informed choice. But instead, it's phrased in a way that assumes it's part of the dish like asking how you want your toast toasted. I'm not mad about paying for good food. I'm mad about being misled. LaMille, you're too good for shady tactics like this. Either be transparent with your pricing or at least train your staff to communicate it clearly. End of the day it's the cashiers responsibility for playing along with this tactic and taking a job where the staff trains you to be a robot and not genuine which comes out of the tip in turn the owner taxes the barista on as well. Don't be lame and lose Until then, I'll be spending my $13+3 elsewhere. read more

I tried their seasonal drink, Ube Coconut Cream Matcha Latte. The Matcha flavor isn't evident (although I requested an extra scoop but I was told that they make it by batch).

Nice place, happy they have many bathrooms, large space with many seating areas. Good coffee. Good bakery, nice place to sit down and get some work done. Street parking. WiFi yes. Soft seats.

Given their 3.5 rating do not go to this establishment :/ I was handed a flimsy HOT coffee and was barely told to be careful. When simply picking it up it went everywhere and on my hand. My hand is burned and the barista had the audacity to say " I told you to be careful" he then complained to his coworkers because I made him pour another coffee... essentially his job....unacceptable service completely unprofessional and I truly don't like the entitled atmosphere! Go to Tierra Mia or any other coffee read more

My boyfriend and I tried the Avocado Toast and Breakfast Sandwich through Doordash, and it was one of the best Avocado Toasts and Breakfast Sandwiches I've had. The Breakfast Sandwich reminds me of a sandwich version of the Wake and Late Burrito because the potato added a perfect crunch and the eggs were fluffy. There was a perfect balance of all the ingredients. So unfortunate that the prices are high ($17 for an Avocado Toast is crazy) because otherwise this place would've gotten 5 stars from me. read more

Came here for an early morning breakfast on a Sunday and there was a line! But they were pretty quick with our to-go order which was nice. I got a latte, vegetarian breakfast burrito, almond croissant, vanilla latte, mocha, sausage breakfast sandwich. The vegetarian breakfast burrito was AMAZING! As a vegetarian breakfast burritos are a hit or miss but this was really good. The almond croissant was also incredible! My BF said it was probably that best one he has ever had and we get almond croissants almost anywhere we can so that's quite high praise. The coffees/breakfast sandwich were pretty underwhelming. Everything here is REALLY expensive so I was hoping the coffee at least would be good but unfortunately it was really watery and just not good. The sandwich was a little dry and lacking in flavor. Overall, while some of the food we got was really good, overall for the price, I would just expect a little more. read more

All I'm saying is that if you change an arm and a leg for three slices of bacon, maybe don't forget to bring it. read more

Lamill has lost a customer.. When I think of Lamill, I think of a great work space, consistent coffee and friendly staff.
