    Rose cardamom latte with artsy kiosk
    Rebecca T.

    Lumen is a small, but colorful kiosk serving up a curated collection of coffee to try out. I opted for a rose cardamom latte (iced), as it was quite a warm day. My drink was nice and refreshing, although the cardamom did overpower the rose flavor; I would've loved to have had the rose shine a bit more. Glad I tried it!

    I love the building! I also like the style. Grab and go, or you can go to the back and sit down. The service was friendly! Their menu is a bit more traditional and limited, but once I tasted my coffee I understood why. They have great espresso! When you have great espresso, you don't need much else in a drink. They also had vegan bakery items. Parking may be difficult around this location. Shout out to LA Coffee Passport for introducing me to this gem. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Pain au chocolat
    Ton H.

    A very smartly designed artsy coffee stand with awesome coffee and pastries. The espressos are deep and rich. I had an espresso fizz and it was super refreshing. With our Indian summer going I needed something cool and refreshing and this hit the spot. What I didn't need was the pain au chocolat but I'm so glad I did because it was delicious. The staff was as nice as it's allowed and still got the aloof air that's needed at the cool coffee spot. The outside of the building is a true work of art and there's a small patio seating area with a tells full of passion fruit. A pleasant experience all around.

    Today, I start the Fall season with a cup of coffee and an adventure. Lumen Coffee is a tiny to-go coffee bar in the heart of HP neighborhood of LA. There are very few tables and seats out front and rear shaded area where you can enjoy and relax with your coffee. I perused their modest menu; they have all the basic coffee and tea drinks as well as signatures. Moreover, they sell coffee bags. Staff were diligent, affable and competent. Atmosphere was chill. Street parking only. Overall, I enjoyed my Cold Brew. And I cannot wait to try their hot drinks.

    Wow!! Coffee was delicious. Great customer service, answered all of our questions. The vanilla bean latte is great, with syrup made in house. There is a small seating area along the side of the building with a bathroom for customers. Street parking around the area.

    Hot vanilla latte

    I have been meaning to try this place ever since it's opening and FINALLY got the chance to pop over and oh my goodness am I so glad to have. It's a cute coffee spot with the most beautiful artwork decorating the outside (you can't miss it unless you're trying to). Wonderful outdoor patio seating with the most fragrant and visually stunning passion fruit blossoms lining the space. I have the sweetest tooth for coffee while my husband cringes at any sugar touching his cup so I was a little hesitant to see which one of our pallets this would cater too. Well I shouldn't have been worried because the barista heard our preferences and recommended the most perfect drinks for each of our tastes. My husbands coffee came with a little informational card that you can scan and order the beans to make at home (which yes we did). Super quick service and incrediblly friendly staff made the whole experience even better. Vibes 10/10 Aesthetic 10/10 Service 10/10 Drinks 10/10 All around phenomenal experience and will be coming back (very soon)

    My sibling hand and coffee
    Jade L.

    Coffee here is good. My sibling got a rose cardamom latte, it was pretty subtle but a nice additional flavor. The barista was super nice (didn't spit on me or yell at me idk my bar for service is low but also he was friendly so this is a tangent) No indoor seating and limited outdoor. Ambiance so superb though the flowers and design is fun. Also seemed like a lot of people just hung out and talked with each other which is nice (I did not talk to them besides saying excuse me to try to use the bathroom) one bathroom available but someone was in it so I ended up going across the street to food4less. Shout out food4less' toilet woooo There is street parking all around I'm not sure about any designated parking for this place

    Mocha iced
    Andres T.

    The coffee shop is located on a main street and there is some street parking available. Their iced Mocha has a lot of flavor but it doesn't taste too sweet. As far as food options is mostly pastries that I've seen available when I've gone. It's a nice chill place to enjoy some coffee and relax.

    Love love love the freddo con panna. Not too sweet just perfect balance of cream and espresso.

    Matcha latte

    I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was so bland and watered down. I could hardly taste any matcha. Cute exterior. That's about it.

    Pumpkin spice latte
    Diane M.

    Great coffee! I got the pumpkin spice and it was slightly sweet, with pumpkin taste that was not overbearing. The pumpkin even tasted a bit more in the natural side. The barista was super nice and answered all my questions. There a little outdoor seating section to the side that is very cute, but if it's busy I would recommend just grabbing and going One of my fav spots around town!

We went on a weekday around 11am and there was still a good selection of pastries, but sadly some were sold out already. elderflower rhubarb danish (4.5/5): one of their brunch specials and it was delightfully tart but sweet at the same time. the flavors really balanced each other out. passion fruit cruffin (4.8/5): my favorite from this visit. you can really taste the passion fruit and it was tart and sweet but not too sweet. very balanced flavor. if anything I wish they had added more passion fruit. garlic chive knot (4/5): another one of their brunch specials. also pretty good but I just wish there was more garlic and chives. the flavor was more mild than I'd prefer but it was still good. parking: small parking lot but there is street parking options available. seating: good amount of outdoor seating I think shared with the rest of the plaza but it wasn't too busy when I went. **when adding an update to my 2025 review I accidentally removed the original pastry photo from then so I had to add it back in **

Neighborhood residential street might be a good option for parking on Avenue 47 but street sweeping (No Parking) is from 8-10am Wednesday on one side and Thursday on the other side. Orange Blossom Almond Croissant -personally was disgusting, orange blossom was extremely strong. Too fragrant that it tasted like a floral bath bomb or soap. Some do like this but it wasn't for me. Tofu Cloud Croissant Toast -cream on top was pretty salted, to help balance the caramelized sugar that helps press the croissant into a toast. Overall, it wasn't wasn't bad but wasn't good and slightly too salted. Passionfruit Croiffin- texture of the croissant/muffin was great! Buttery, flaky and light. Passionfruit cream filling wasn't too sweet. I loved the tart passionfruit seeds. But you might want to scoop some out if you don't enjoy too much sourness. Elderflower Rhubarb Danish - way too crunchy, would prefer it to be crispy instead of a crunch. Filling was good, not too sweet. Black Sesame Parisian Flan -if you love black sesame, this would be right up your alley. Perfect sweet treat to bring to any auntie's home! Blueberry Tea Scone -not too dense. Surprisingly not too sweet even with the demerara sugar coating. It wasn't really crunchy but more sticky and caramelized from sitting.
