every time i visit a coffee shop on ventura i feel like im cosplaying the super ultra wealthy botox infested influencers (im a broke college student on ebt) ANYYYYWAAAAAYS.... does that mean I should spend $9 on a cup with milk and ice? YEA!!! the LA cafe culture is NOT ur regular latte... they're desserts that spike ur blood sugar that we use the "coffee" as a guise for excuse. almond milk is healthy, duh. bad financial decisions mean trying all the homemade syrups and unique flavors combos and UGH CREAMY FOAMS??? the praline coffee was so hazelnutty and ugh i love toffee/caramel flavors. the brown sugar syrup added the perfect sweetness and they even had decaf YASSS (5pm latte). The snow matcha was also perfectly potent, smooth, and THE VANILLA FLAVOR DOESNT PLAY!! And don't even get me started on the SERVICE. the staff are INCREDIBLY SWEET and made me feel so welcomed i wanted to stay there forever. will be back to buy a latte instead of using EBT on food!! :P read more

I bought a very expensive bag of coffee here -- $26 for just 8 ounces of beans -- and it ended up clogging my Spinn coffee maker. The guy that sold it to me had no clue what a Spinn was and therefore didn't tell me to adjust my settings. What surprised me was that none of these guys (yes, they are all guys there which is odd) had any knowledge of the brand Spinn. When selling premium coffee at premium prices, I'd expect at least a working knowledge of the major high-end coffee makers your customers are using. When I brought the issue up, I asked if they could at least offer a complimentary coffee for the inconvenience, but they refused to do anything. Disappointing experience overall. Expensive coffee without the expertise or customer service to match. read more

Today's coffee adventure brought us to Lynx Coffee. We've been hearing for a while that they have amazing drinks, so since we started our morning early, we decided to stop by right when they opened. I ordered the praline iced coffee, and my boyfriend ordered "The Snow" a matcha topped with Mexican vanilla cream. Let me tell you... these drinks are not only beautiful to look at, they taste just as good too. Both were creamy, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. You can really tell they put care into every drink. One thing to keep in mind it gets busy quickly, and street parking can be limited. Other than that, the drinks are absolutely worth checking out if you're looking for a cute coffee spot with quality drinks. read more

Cool interior and nice details. I love the variety of matcha that they offer. They had jeju, hinata, kao, and uji hamare as their matcha options and had Asamiya hojicha as well. I got the hojicha without any sweetener and regular milk (they have lactaid tablets next to the napkin station - love the thoughtfulness although I don't need it)! The hojicha was decent, but a bit powdery. Seems like not a lot of people order the hojicha, and they had to make a new batch. I would probably try their matcha next time! Overall, cute spot and what stood out was the ambiance/interior! I street parked (metered). read more

I've been hearing a lot about this place and wanted to try it out. I went here on a Friday afternoon and there was a lot of street parking that was close by. It was a bit crowded but customer service was great and got my drink quickly. I got the balboa with oat milk and it was delicious. Perfect amount of sweetness and saltiness that I enjoy in a matcha. There are some seating inside but also outside if you wanted to do work here. I read more

Great coffee spot in Sherman Oaks. The coffee is high quality and you can tell they really care about their beans and drinks. I tried one of their iced specialty drinks and it was excellent. The place itself is very clean with a nice modern vibe, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. They also have pastries and light food if you want something to eat, and there's seating outside if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee there. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Stopped by Lynx Coffee this morning to check it out and had a really nice first experience. I grabbed a mocha latte and a blueberry muffin --both were solid and definitely hit the spot for a quick start to the day. What stood out most, though, was the ambiance. The space has a really cool, inviting vibe that makes you want to hang out and stay awhile. I was just in and out this time, but next visit I'm planning to sit down, relax, and take it all in a bit more. Overall, a great first impression. Looking forward to going back and trying more before giving a full stamp of approval! read more

Lynx Coffee - The Snow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Snow Matcha 8.2/10 -- as a strong matcha lover, the matcha was just a bit too milky for me. But I would get it again if I'm feeling my sweet tooth come on. Snow Praline 8/10 -- definitely that nutty flavor takes the forefront on the palate. The ambiance and the intentional spirit of this shop is why I'll come back. The baristas are dressed like Masterchef, there's free lactaids next to the sugar and napkins, and the baristas show exceptional care to each beverage they curate. read more

Finally got to check out this coffee shop. I was afraid of the parking but I did find one spot on the street in the residential area but it was still packed. There is valet parking in the back alley though. We went inside and it was crowded outside and inside. I noticed it's always packed when I pass by and this time was no different. We ordered our drinks and the girl in front was nice enough to let us take our time and choose what we wanted. However, took a minute to get my drink while my friend got her matcha pretty quick hence why the picture shows her drink is almost gone lol. I almost got the praline but the girl said it's on the sweeter side and it only comes in 12oz so I got the latte instead with the Mexican vanilla 16oz which I'm sure tasted like the praline since that was has Mexican vanilla as well. We got to sit down inside even though it was crowded. Really cool spot to sit down at to hang out but idk if I'd do work here since it's loud and not much space. There are tables outside as well. Some people just stand around inside and outside so it's almost like a bar spot lol but it's a coffee shop. Am I dying to come back? Not really. But good to check it finally and the coffee was just fine. read more

Usually it's not that easy to find a good matcha spot. A lot of matchas I've had are either overly sweet or too light/too much milk. I think Lynx Coffee has it right on the nose. They offer a variety of different matcha drinks (along as coffee, etc) I tried their Kettl Himata Iced Matcha with honey and almond milk. It was so worth it. I actually asked the man at the register his opinion on what I should get as far as a matcha but not too sweet and this is what he says he usually sticks to. I unfortunately didn't get his name but he has great taste and recommended exactly what I was looking for! :) This cafe was pretty busy inside and out. The inside isn't too big but they have seating outside as well. The workers making and serving the coffee have a great flow going amongst themselves. As busy as it was they got out everyone's orders pretty quick. Shoutout to the workers for handling the rush so gracefully. Lynx Coffee is definitely at the top of my list and I will be visiting again! read more

This coffee queen finally made it over here and I am glad I did! There was a long line but it moved quickly. The Barista's were very friendly and helpful in explaining each drink to the customers. It was a warm & sunny day so I went with an Ice Coffee...I wasn't sure which one to get so I decided to go with the "Magnolia," after reading my fellow YE Angela's review. Glad I did because it was perfection! Strong, full bodied and flavorful! It was a little pricey but I find most "mom & pop" coffee shops are now. At least the cup wasn't teeny tiny like many of them are. There is limited seating inside and a few tables out front. I want to go back for a hot coffee next time. *Parking on the streets only. Meters and side streets (Read the signs to avoid a ticket) ~ and that's all I have to say about that ~ read more

We their matcha latte with no sweetener, matcha with light mexican vanilla, and a mocha latte and they were sooo good. My unsweetened matcha was so good on its own because of the quality of the matcha!! In my opinion the mexican vanilla syrup kind of tasted too bourbon-y but my sister really liked it. The mocha was amazing too!! Not too sweet but just right Super study friendly with plenty of seating both inside and outside. Street parking but it should be easy to find a spot around the area read more

If you know me, I'm always checking out new coffee shops to try locally! This one is located on Ventura so parking was a bit rough as per usual. We luckily got parking right in front as a guy was leaving. It was also on a weekend so it felt busier than usual. Walked up to the front and definitely missed the line out the door when I pulled up lol! It was crazy. Super tiny coffee shop but extremely busy!! Everyone had their family and kids for whatever reason. 45 minute wait and finally got in to order!! The business owner, Ari, was very friendly and greeted us with kindness. He explained the menu and thanked us for our patience. My bf and I ordered The Praline and Magnolia both iced and waited awkwardly by the bar. It is super crowded and literally seats all filled up. People had to squeeze by because we were kinda just there in the middle. Drinks came out quickly thankfully and we enjoyed our drinks! Definitely loved the praline one more but we both genuinely really enjoyed them. Pricing is a bit high but the drinks are also of high quality and flavor. Definitely give them a try!

Of course, another coffee shop I found on TikTok caught my attention, so I had to see if it lived up to the hype. I got there around 9:50 a.m there was a short line out the door (about three people), but it started getting crowded soon after. I do wish they had a menu outside since the only one is inside by the straws, lids, and register. Luckily, I already knew what I wanted: the Praline Latte and a Matcha Latte. It took a bit of time at first, but once you order, the line moves pretty quickly. The shop itself is small and can feel a little crowded, but they do have an outdoor seating area. It's a popular spot, so finding a seat can be tricky. The Praline Latte was my favorite creamy, slightly nutty, and delicious. The Matcha Latte was okay, a bit on the sweeter side for my taste, but overall, I'd definitely come back! read more

Our favorite coffee shop in the valley by far. Their espresso and coffee are top notch. My go to's are their vanilla latte, the woodman or the magnolia. Their staff is incredible and friendly! It makes our morning each time we stop by. read more

Lynx Coffee has easily become one of my favorite coffee shops in Los Angeles. The quality of their coffee is outstanding, but what really sets them apart is their consistency. Every visit, every drink, every shot it's always dialed in. You can tell the baristas genuinely care about their craft. They pay close attention to every espresso shot that comes out, and if something isn't up to their standards, they don't hesitate to remake it. That level of pride and attention to detail is rare and speaks volumes about how much they value the customer experience. I've traveled extensively throughout Asia and explored some of the best coffee scenes there, and Lynx Coffee truly reminds me of those specialty cafés where precision and effort go into every single drink. It's not just coffee here it's a passion. Without a doubt, one of the best coffee shops in Los Angeles. Highly recommended. read more

A very solid specialty coffee spot! I tried both of their signature drinks, the Praline and Snow. The Praline was good, but nothing to rave about. The Snow was really good: great matcha taste with a unique blend of Mexican vanilla cream. They also have your traditional coffee drinks with single origin and matcha options. They also sell specialty coffee beans, and I picked up a bag from Prodigal roasters. The ambiance is clean and open, with small seating inside. I liked their open coffee bar where you can see staff make drinks. There was a line out the door, but it moves fairly quickly. Overall, glad to have another solid specialty coffee shop in the SFV! read more

First impression- huge line out the door Parking - you can find metered parking on the street but it's pretty busy on the weekend so it's better to park further and walk Drinks - hot cappuccino with vanilla - beautiful latte art Magnolia latte- vanilla latte with sweet cream Service - Great coffee and the baristas were super knowledgeable and willing to educate me on the various roasts and notes of the many available! The bar was the best spot to get into the feel of the place. Seating- there's a few tables outside Overall- nice place would definitely go back read more

If you're into cold brew flavored water then this place is for you. For an added bonus of paying more for vanilla syrup, you may taste some sweetness, depending on how sensitive your taste buds are. Lastly, all of this could be yours after waiting in line for over 15 minutes. Enjoy. read more

My only complaint is that it isn't closer! What a great place! I got the matcha and my partner got the cold brew. The matcha is from Kettl which is such high quality Japanese matcha. The cold brew was full bodied and not acidic at all. The service was exceptionally friendly with personal recommendations. Fast service despite a long line. Will definitely be making the drive to go back. 10/10. read more

I was very surprised by Lynx. I had heard about the shop through a friend and also seen it as a new-er shop in the area on social media, so I decided to check it out for a morning drink and spend some time knitting at the cafe. Parking is available on the side streets that border the shop for 2 free hours. I came in on a Friday morning and the line was so long that I was outside the door. There is far more outdoor seating than indoor but it was cold that morning so I wanted to try and find indoor seating. Most patrons get their drinks to-go which I would recommend for this location as I will get into shortly. The menu has several drinks and types of coffees and matcha though it is pricy for what you order. Alternative milks (oat, almond) are 50 cents extra as well as sweetener. Simply put, the most off putting part of my visit to Lynx was the ambiance. The decor of the shop is minimalistic (fine) but the layout of how seating is arranged must be awful feng shui as if you sit in the shop and enjoy your order for even just 45 minutes (like myself) you will begin to experience a strange almost hostile architecture-like environment. Just typing this sounds strange to me and I was literally there but they desperately need to reorder their interior. Other reviewers have also noted that this place feels eerie and has a strange vibe. Snow (iced matcha) 3.5/5, this was okay. It appears to be predominantly white prior to mixing (stirring sticks available) and the matcha is overpowered by the chocolate mixes involved, making it a very sweet drink. I would recommend trying out their matcha latte over this as it didn't satisfy the matcha craving I was trying to fix. Furthermore; for $8.5 + 0.5 for alternate milk, this was exceptionally pricy for what it is. read more

As a matcha connoisseur, I can confidently say this is absolutely the best matcha I've ever had. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth the splurge.

Pleasantly surprised by the matcha latte at this cafe! Definitely worth coming back for!

Really enjoyed the Magnolia latte but they did not have the Mexican Vanilla cream top so it was subbed for standard iirc, would love to go back and give it a try again. The chai was also good, not too sweet& more on the spicy side. The presentation was just standard with no garnish or latte art (considering the fact it was $7.00) but the taste was great! Would love to go back and try more drinks off the menu. read more

Parking is a little hard to find since it's on a Main Street (Ventura) Long wait as well; there was literally a line out the door But if you want to try some gourmet coffee, definitely recommend! It is on the pricier side so I suggest trying one of their specialty drinks to make it worth it: Their specialty Praline coffee has a very distinct nutty taste & I like that it has tiny chunks towards the bottom of the drink & it also has a bold coffee flavor which I love 10/10 The Oro is their mocha coffee drink & it tastes just like an authentic hot Spanish chocolate but not much of a coffee taste The shop itself is pretty small with limited indoor seating but I love that you can sit right in front of the open space coffee bar while they make your espresso read more

Lynx Coffee - Iced matcha latte + cream top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Hurray for another local coffee shop! Stopped by for an afternoon pick me up and ordered an iced latte with the muscovado syrup and an iced matcha latte with the cream foam. The muscovado syrup was so unique! Such a good flavor. It's basically just a brown sugar syrup but it was a really nice addition to the latte. The matcha latte was good. I was a little confused at first because I saw them make it and it was a giant cup of almond milk and then they topped it off with the matcha from a squeeze bottle. I asked about what that was, and they said they use matcha concentrate. I was concerned the ratio of match and milk was weird, but once I shook it up it blended nicely. Also the cream foam on top is an amazing touch. So delicious! Lots of unique flavorings and syrups on the menu. Not a ton of seating inside, but they do have a few tables outside. The shop is super minimalistic so it was hard to get like the overall vibe of the place. Had a hard time reading the menu because it was taped in front of the cashier, so unless you were ordering you can't see it. Later I noticed they had another menu taped up on the wall but it was easy to miss. They have a couple menu items but I didn't try them this time. Great place to meet with friends or grab a coffee on the go! read more

Quality coffee spot! I stumbled upon this shop driving down Ventura and decided to check it out. I got the praline which is made with house made syrup and it was absolutely delicious.

Amazing new coffee shop in Sherman oaks! I came here twice over the weekend and was so happy with the drinks I got. Their espressos are really good and strong while their matcha is balanced. I'm picky with matcha, but it seems like they use high quality stuff here where you can actually taste the matcha (kettl based on what I saw selling in the tins?) Most importantly, the drinks are not too sweet! It is a bit on the pricy side, but I don't mind paying slightly more for quality drinks. Can't wait to try the other drinks next time. Service was relatively fast despite looking busy. read more

Lynx Coffee - The snow and matcha latte with espresso! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I was craving and crafted coffee on Sunday morning, and I keep seeing this place when I'm driving down Ventura, and I'm glad we took the opportunity to stop in. If you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you, even if they're not busy it's almost like 7 to 10 minutes to get a coffee . The staff was super friendly and very welcoming. We sat at the part of the coffee bar to watch the barista finish drinks. . It's a really cute modern bright coffee shop . My husband had the chai and the green watch of snow, and he liked them both very much but the snow is his favorite . I have d the Oro which is a seasoned mocha, and it was good and not very sweet. I can't remember where they said they got their pastries at, but we had the turkey and cheese croissant and it was absolutely delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was good and they warmed it up for us but for me it needs more salt. . read more

Great coffee shop in the valley with good quality coffee & matcha! It's not too big but there's some seating inside and a few tables outside. I like the ambiance, it's clean and bright inside, some green leather furniture. They make their drinks using beakers so it feels like they take it seriously. They have espresso drinks but they also several matcha drinks on their menu which you don't find too often. This time, I decided to go with an espresso drink. I wanted the praline signature drink but I can't have the cream top (dairy-free) so they suggested I go with an iced flat white with the muscovado sugar syrup added. I went with that, with almond milk. It was really good! Not too heavily sweet but I probably could have done with slightly less syrup. I'm curious to try their other drinks including their matchas. I'll definitely be back! read more

No coffee is worth waiting 35 minutes for. I've never seen baristas work so slow in my life, zero sense of urgency or awareness of the line and with such attitude. Do not go here. How there is a line out the door is beyond my understanding...it's coffee. read more
