Visited Trio today after going to 3 other coffee shops to sit and do homework. Trio was the only…read moreshop that had outlets (unbelievable, do better, other coffee shops). On top of that, their baristas were very personable. I ordered a triple shot over ice (my usual litmus test for coffee quality), and their espresso was very smooth without any bitter aftertaste, great pull. I also had their raspberry tea, also great! I didn't try any of their food this time but I will be back, given the outlet situation. Thanks for the great space and service!

My sister-in-law had a pretty disappointing experience at this location today. In a community like…read morethe Antelope Valley, local support really matters, so it's always surprising when a business doesn't seem to value the people who keep it running. Apparently taking a moment to decide what you'd like to order is considered an inconvenience here. The cashier made a gesture implying she needed to hurry up, which felt unnecessarily dismissive especially when someone is simply trying to decide how they'd like to spend their hard-earned money. It's a shame, because local businesses thrive on positive interactions with their customers. Experiences like this make it much easier to understand why so many other coffee spots are opening throughout the AV and gaining loyal support. Needless to say, my family and I will be taking our coffee runs elsewhere moving forward. There are plenty of places in the AV that manage to serve great coffee and treat their customers with courtesy. San Fernando Coffee Co. OVER Trio Coffee House any day of the week.

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

From the moment I…read morewalked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and helped orient me around the space -- small tables inside with cozy seating both in the front and back. It has that warm, neighborhood-coffee-shop feel that's getting harder to find. The cashier took the time to walk me through the menu and pastry options, which I really appreciated. I landed on the Lil Sumtin' flat white -- made with an herbal and floral honey blend -- and it was absolutely delightful. Paired it with their gluten-free pound cake, which was surprisingly moist and delicious. No compromises on flavor whatsoever. Bonus points: very dog friendly, street parking available, and a small shared lot with neighboring small businesses that I'm already planning to explore on my next visit. Altadena still has such a special energy that proves its motto Altadena Strong and Unincorporated fits right into it. Highly recommend stopping in!

After living nearby for several years I finally checked out Unincorporated on a Saturday afternoon, ordering an iced and regular lattes ($6.50 each). They were tasty and well made. Interior is clean and unassuming, staff friendly and approachable. Prices are a little high but not unreasonable for a local coffee shop experience. Parking in the back with a nice patio behind.

Brand new, clean, polished floors that don't stick to your shoes. The kind of place where the fluorescent lights don't hum like an interrogation room.

In the middle of nowhere, a hot coffee, a clean bathroom, and a cinnamon roll can feel like civilization itself.

Plenty of seating and free WiFi make it perfect for studying or getting work done, and it's clearly a favorite with APU students too. Only minor note: a few of the chairs were a bit wobbly, but that didn't take away from the experience at all. I'll definitely keep coming back!

The cup size we got was pretty small and even though everything was good I am not sure I can justify the extra charges for using almond milk or 1 pump of syrup.
