Is this possibly the bougiest coffee shop in L.A. (bougie defined as pretentious)? Yah, it's definitely in the running. The patrons include bicyclists whose bikes cost more than my car, folks driving Porsches (the bougiest car of all imho), lots of performative tattoos, and more athleisurewear than I've seen in my life. And this is in Cypress Park, which to me is most famous as the location of my favorite King Taco (not bougie at all). So, is gentrification happening here? That's a big yes. When the word "elevated" gets used to describe menu items, that's a dead giveaway. And yet....that Mascarpone latte is a work of art. Per their website, it's a "Tiramisu inspired drink layered with espresso, mascarpone cheese foam, and muscovado milk." It's just as good as it sounds. And honestly, these days, $8 was a bargain. Shocking how many young people were up and ordering their custom drinks at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. I'm guessing the line gets really long on weekends. So order early! Five stars for creative drinks and free street parking. read more

This review is specifically in reference to Loquat's coffee roasting operation. To the roasting team, you guys over develop your beans. First, I tried the Alto Quiel Bajareque Gesha from Panama, and then second the San Carlos Antigua Bourbon from Guatemala. Both ground on a Zerno Z2 and made with the finest pour over equipment and brew water. These beans were roasted to the point of medium roast, and you can no longer taste the terroir, just predominant caramel notes with only the slightest whiff of florality and fruits. I boggles my mind that Loquat would go through the effort of sourcing these single origin lots that could be amazing, then botching the roast. You guys might want to stick with being a great multi roaster (Kumquat) or seriously re-evaluate your roasting program. read more

Loquat Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was able to revisit LOQUAT COFFEE a few times since my last review. A couple of times with coworkers and another couple of times with fam. In each and every visit, I know I am boring, I ordered the same thing - CORTADO. The benefit of being boring and visiting several times is that I can definitively say that they churn out consistently GREAT cortados. I was able to finagle some of the following as well: - HOT LATTE. Not "watery", or should I say "milky". Strong and creamy. - FONDRY KOUIGN AMMAN. Sooo good. Of course. And without the Fondry line. Staff is always awesome. Parking looks challenging but I've never had a problem. There was always space for me to sit and down my bean drug. read more

Mascarpone! Coffee was not sour/astringent, and the mascarpone provided a nice light sweetness. Worth the $8 to be honest. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, and very attentive to their work. There was consistently a decent sized line (Fri morning 9 AM) the whole time I was there but the line moves quick! Dogs allowed so it was nice to see some cute doggies :-). read more

I stopped in today while waiting for another store to open. Adrien, the manager, was so nice! The shop is bright and pretty and very welcoming. I had a delicious pastry. A croissant presse, that I have not stopped thinking about all day! I love this coffee shop and if I lived closer it would be dangerous! read more

A late review to the trend, but this coffee shop is literally one of the few must recommended specialty shop around the greater LA region. Highly sophisticated and quality driven, Loquat offers exceptional coffee in every cup. The interior is minimal and clean, though seating space is very limited, as the space is quite small. There is a small counter that seats 4 people and a bench seat along the window that fits maybe 3 more? There are outdoor patio seats that can fit up to 3-4 small groups. The guest capacity can quickly get full. Plus, the shop is usually very busy in the AM. You can expect it to be emptier in the noon though. What I love about this shop can be a bit of bias. I enjoy light roast, single origin coffee, and this place is a perfect spot for it. Loquat usually has at least one or two rare coffee offering like Gesha and processing such as anaerobic fermentation. I always like the presentation of the drinks that are being served, and Loquat has one of the exceptional ones for their espresso. It comes in a mini chilled glass and a 'bougie' tiny spoon. Their signature beverage is the Mascarpone Latte, which is a shot of espresso with muscovado milk, topped with a thick, cloud of house made mascarpone cheese foam. Delicious! As for the parking, it is all street and neighborhood parking. The shop is situated on the corner of the Main Street and a neighborhood road. Usually, you would probably have to expect a bit of distance when looking for parking. It gets little challenging. But the place around it isn't nearly as crowded. Just a lot of residents taking up space. read more

Slightly expensive, but amazing coffee! We got the mascarpone to share, and it was incredible! The foam was super flavorful, but not too sweet, and had chocolate bits on top? Definitely would come back if in the area. My friend that loves coffee got us these beans last year as a gift and they were also very delicious. read more

My experience here was lovely! It was very quiet and had limited seating. My bestie and I went very early in the morning and were able to see their regulars trickle in. We got vanilla matcha lattes and we split a sweet treat. It was very pleasant and my matcha latte felt like it was made with love. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

I got the mascarpone latte. High quality coffee and specialty drinks here. The place is very chic and intentionally decorated. Price is pretty steep like 9 bucks for a 12oz iced latte. I think they do this intentionally because of their measurements but it comes out like an inch short in the plastic 12oz container for the iced latte. Kind of throws me off because it's already tiny like why is it a little short too read more

Love their mascarpone latte. Always tastes so good and never disappoints! Definitely worth going here read more

Loquat Coffee - Love the mascarpone latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Needed some caffeine after a long drive and wanted to check them out. Parking can be a bit of a struggle but be patient. Looking over the menu everything looks of high quality and carefully curated drinks. Each one made to serve a purpose. I've had an espresso tonic before and I like the idea of it. I saw one on the menu and decided to go with it. It's a more refreshing and lighter way to enjoy espresso. Caribbean Tonic ($7.50): espresso tonic with pineapple juice, coconut cream, and tonic syrup. Garnished with a dehydrated pineapple The marble (matcha/mascarpone/pistachio) and the mascarpone drinks (think tiramisu) are both $8 and popular. They look very pretty too. They also have some breakfast burritos and baked goods. read more

Loquat Coffee also owned by Kumquat Coffee and Fondry. I was excited to try Loquat located in Cypress Park ( around the 5 and 10 freeway) limited street parking only. We ordered the iced Lumiere $8.50 which is Mango Puree, organic pineapple juice, Mascarpone foam, cold milk. Odd taste. You need to like the idea of having a fruit juice mix with your coffee. Iced Mascarpone Expresso with oatmilk $8.75. The drinks are just OK imo. I've had better Mascarpone drinks in the OC. They have limited pasties from Fondry and Baker's kneeded. Not satisfied that they do not warm up the pastries for you because they were hard and cold. read more

Life isn't perfect but your iced coffee can be. That being said let's begin this ostentatious review. ;D ha! LOQUAT COFFEE (est 2024) is a corner specialty coffee shop in Cypress Park neighborhood of LA. It's a private label of Kumquat Coffee. LC's drink menu has an even distribution of espresso, pour-overs, cold brew, teas and signature drinks. Its interior is beautifully designed with an eye catching yellow & black color background scheme throughout the coffee shop. Furthermore, their seats were mixture of modern and classic design. Similarly, its high ceiling gives it more visual depth with natural light through their large windows. And the shop has that industrial exterior look with barely readable name. Anyways, Loquat's atmosphere was very relaxing. Staff were eloquent and competent. Prices were slightly higher than other coffee shops. Service was spot on. Coffee quality was great. Music background was soothing. As for drinks, I had a Brazilian Cold Brew. And it was bloody awesome! It's very refreshing really especially on a hot sunny day. Free wifi. Ample of street parking. Overall, I had a splendid experience and enjoyed my drink. I highly recommend you visit. See you next time. read more

Customer service was genuine from the Asian cashier to the girl baristas. There was no entitlement barista vibes here as you feel in LA coffee shops, which was such a comfort. I felt like o had gone back in time to when people were humanly nice. There almond latte was executed perfectly. The beans were a little light for my taste, but everything was perfect. read more

My cousin recommended this coffee place for me to try in Highland Park so I thought I'd go see for myself. The coffee shop color is very modern and pleasing to the eye. Parking on street only. I came for the Mascarpone Iced Latte since my cousin told me that is a must try. I ordered it with oat milk. The drink is very instagrammable. I was instructed to mix it up before drinking. I did and took the first sip. Okay, it's not sweet at all but a bit bitter from the cocoa powder, I mixed it some more, and although it wasn't as bitter upon start, it didn't get much sweeter for me. Keep in mind I love my coffee sweet and creamy and unfortunately this wasn't it. There was also a lot of (what I presume to be) coffee bean nibs in every sip I took. I did not like that at all and there was a lot of them, 2/5 for me. The Croissant Presse that I ordered looked really good as it was flat and had a caramel glaze on top. I was expecting it to be chewy and delicious. Instead, it was super crunchy. It was okay, 3.5/5 for me. Service was great, I just didn't enjoy the drink and pastry as I thought I would. read more

Been waiting to try this place for a while! Loquat Coffee is the sister coffee to Kumquat Coffee. It is such cute neighborhood coffee shop, perfect for early morning birds and those up for a quick coffee chat. The first thing I noticed was their friendly service. I ordered their mascarpone latte with the croissant. Loved how creamy and decadent the latte was. Truly layered to perfection. For coffee connoisseurs, you have to check this spot out! read more

Ordered a cold brew, I think they gave me rotten milk, or the brew was just bad, It had the strangest tangy flavor with a weird after taste. I've tried many cold brews but this one was just not it. read more

I love this location and its selection! I've been to different Kumquat locations but I love the vibe here. Parking is also much easier. The mascarpone is like a dessert in a cup and it's so delicate. It's my favorite. We also tried the tomato scone and it was really good. read more

Unfortunately, not as exciting as their sister store, Kumquat. It's very small with a few chairs outside and a bench inside. More of a take-out shop. Got the iced hojicha and it's exactly as I expected. Still refreshing and straightforward. There's some neighborhood parking across the street but otherwise I wouldn't make the trip unless you're in the area. read more

This place is great, very unique drinks. We tried the marble matcha with mascarpone cold foam and scattered crunchy pistachios on top - Wowowow this drink is unbelievable I could have finished it in seconds, then the classic Mascarpone which tastes just like tiramisu - also incredible - the two pair great together for alternate sips. Tried the banana bread mini loaf which was very dry, but it was late afternoon and had maybe gone past its best, also got an iced americano which was decent. Come here for the speciality drinks though they are so worth it read more

Intimate coffee shop located on the corner of the block. There's not a whole lot of seats, but they have about 4 barstools by the counter. Spacious waiting area though! The theme here is quite cute! I like their coffee bag packaging here since they're shaped like cars haha. I ordered the mascarpone coffee and it was pretty good! It reminds me of a mocha, but a bit more creamier. The chocolate bits(?) were hard, but presents light notes of chocolate as you drink. The drink looks like a dessert, but it's not that heavy! read more

Loquat Coffee - Mascarpone coffee (front) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A little small cute local coffee shop in the Cypress neighborhood. I would have loved to have this around when I used to lived in the area. Street parking is available. There is some outdoor seating but overall, seating is limited. Staff is super friendly!! My friend and I came here on a Monday morning after breakfast. There was no line and it was super busy but seats were all taken. I can only imagine how busy it is on the weekends. I wanted to try the Horizon signature but they no longer have that on the menu - super sadness since I am a hojicha/black sesame girly. Hope they bring this back as a seasonal or soemthing so I can come back to try it one day!! We both ended up getting the mascarpone signature - which is espresso, mascarpone foam, and milk. 10/10 would return for this one drink!! Absolutely loved the foam and espresso flavor. It was a good balance of sweetness from the foam and espresso coffee flavor. I'm so sad that I finished the drink so fast but it was just too good, I kept chugging it HAHA read more

everyone working there was moving at a snails pace. one person ahead of me and just wanted a drip coffee. had to leave it was taking so long with 4 people working read more

Drinks here are done at its finest and I would give more then 5 stars if I can. This is the second time I'm here and both times I feel so welcomed. The staffs here actually cared about me and my order by give me recommendations based on what I liked, explain to me the drinks and its notes and also about their brand journey. Absolutely attentive. First time I came was back in October (not pictured) and they don't have The Marble, which was the drink I wanted to try, but recommended me the Hojicha latte instead. I wasn't really into hojicha but I was so glad I got it because it was such an experience! The creaminess of the mascarpone cream melt into the nuttiness and toasted hojicha is just everything I was looking for to brighten my day. The Marble came back this month until August so I couldn't miss it this time! Again, never disappointed because look at how pretty this drink is! Nothing artificial which I love (because I've tried pistachio drinks a lot and artificial pistachio syrup is the worst thing you can taste), only fresh crumble pistachio on too of mascarpone cream and ceremonial matcha latte. I asked for light ice and they delivered, keeping the drink as cool and frothy as it should be. Drinks are $7.50-$8. No cash. Parking can be hard to find but plenty of parking in such a lovely neighborhood. 1 hour parking right in front. Also love the black and yellow tone and the buzzy music, so retro! Love love love and definitely will be back and bring my friends! read more

Always solid coffee at this family of coffee spots. It was a hot day so I skipped on my typical cappuccino order and got their mascarpone/tiramisu inspired drink. The drink was delicious but definitely not a sipper. It was delicious! Next time I will opt for the cold brew though so I can enjoy the drink longer. read more

Loquat Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was familiar with Kumquat and was curious to try their sister location. Loquat is located on a corner in Cypress Park, and while the interior is relatively small there is both indoor and outdoor seating available. During my most recent visit, I enjoyed the friendly service and learned that they offer pastries from Fondry and Proof Bakery depending on the day. I tried one of their signature drinks, the Mascarpone, during my first visit. It was a lush and creamy beverage topped with mascarpone foam, and it felt like I was having dessert during my afternoon break. When I went back again, I tried a standard cortado and thought it was well-made with a smooth espresso flavor. read more

Wow, just wow!! So good, I had to order a second round. I've bookmarked this place for a while, so I was excited to finally get to try it. First off, it's located on a corner with a lot of street parking available. It seems like they are always busy because we got there at 9am on a Sunday and there was already a line out the door. Service is fast though and we didn't have to wait that long. They have coffee, lates, drip, pour overs but you have to try their creations. Apparently they have seasonal offerings and they rotate through the special creations. The mascarpone is a must and it is so good!! It's like a tiramisu in a cup. However, portions are small, so if you're expecting Starbucks sizes, don't bother. The taste of the coffee is amazing, wanting you to try more. I also tried the horizon which is similar to the mascarpone but with green tea. No tables inside, just a bench but they do have some tables outside but again come early if you want to grab one. Will def be back! read more

No phone number. No way to call in an order if you want to make it any different like modify an item.

I liked the mascarpone coffee more than whatever other coffee we tried. Had some yummy chocolate bits inside which I enjoyed snacking on lol. Tasted like a tiramisu coffee. Unique & yummy. The other coffee was just plain so it didn't rlly "wow" us. Menu felt a little limited so we're giving it 4 stars as we were looking for more flavors to experience...but it was decent! That mascarpone coffee rlly held it down lol The servers & baristas were so friendly & helpful! They tried to help us find what we were looking for & we're so patient & flexible for us! Great way to start off the morning & leave happy. Thanks for the energy & kindness! read more

Some places are worth going back... With so many options, somehow, a place will come into mind when its time to go for a cup of coffee.... Well, this place come to my mind often.... lol I have been to Loquat multiple times..( that should tell you something)...why? The coffee is great... Staff have always been great, friendly and knowledgeable.... Im big on coffee, and im the type to ONLY order drip... so if i keep going back, then take my advice, its good!!... my wife has orderd the mascarapone, the combo in this drink is great... another drink my wife orderd had matcha and she also mentioned it was good. Pastries are just decent... not the best, but good enough to get something to go along with your morning cup... but skip if you can... Chill ambiance, outdoor sitting or about 3 seats inside... There may be a line, depending on the time you go... line moves, not as fast as you would like, but it moves... Street parking only, can get tricky so good luck... Definitely going back, enjoyable cup of coffee... So when you go.... Enjoy!!... read more

The Mascarpone is it. I always grab the Mascarpone. Their blueberry version is excellent as well. Wife likes to try any new or seasonal alternatives, which are always enjoyable, but the Mascarpone is the staple. I have legitimately purchased 2x at once to make sure I have enough of that good stuff. They carry pastries from Fondry which are delicacies. Always a great paring. Don't forget to check out Kumquat as it's the sister establishment. read more

Loquat Coffee - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm a huge fan of Kumquat coffee and was intrigued by their private label - Loquat. It's a super cute bright yellow cafe located on a neighborhood corner. Street parking / no inside seating. They serve normal coffee as well as speciality with some rotating seasonally. I ordered the "Geisha Old Fashioned" which is inspired by an old fashioned (never had) but I enjoy cherry and citrus which was pleasantly present in the cold brew. It was also the most expensive coffee on their menu ($11!) but I had to try it. Probably one of the smoothest and richest cold brews I've tasted. I was really interested in this place as some of their beans won competitions! And it was the best straight up coffee I've tasted. read more
