    Finally made it during opening hours! I enjoyed the attention to detail and care/time the baristas took to make the drinks. Honestly, it shows as soon as you take a sip. I ordered one of the signature drinks- Snow : $8.50 (iced) Matcha, mexican vanilla cream top, house-made snow garnish The Mexican cream top was delicious and the matcha itself was great. It was a perfectly balanced drink. I really enjoyed it. Next time , I'll check out one of their espresso drinks.

    Magnolia & Balboa Cloud Drinks

    I'm a sucker for coffee shops that make everything in house and that's what this place does. I was intrigued by their Cloud Menu. I ordered the Magnolia which is their espresso cloud drink and my husband got the Balboa which is their matcha cloud drink. The coffee was good and I enjoyed the house made Mexican vanilla cream top. It was very creamy and not as sweet as I thought it would be. The staff were friendly and professional. Inside is nice and they have a little bar top area. This place gets very packed. There was a line out the door when we went. Parking isn't the best. We had to find a spot in one of the residential areas nearby.

    Came by around 8 AM on a Monday and was surprised that there was no line. I ordered the Balboa with almond milk, which brought my total to almost $10. My drink came out super fast. While it's definitely on the pricier side, I have to admit, it was really good. The drink was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Even though I can't justify spending that much regularly, I do think it's worth trying at least once. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other drinks. There isn't a ton of seating inside, but there is outdoor seating available. Parking is either street parking or in the surrounding neighborhood, so I can see it being a little tricky during peak hours. Overall, great service and a delicious drink. Price aside, I'd come back again.

    Stopped by after my yoga class and to my surprise the place was not busy as usual. I thought they would be fast considering there were only 2 people ahead of me but it took a long time to get my drink. I ordered a praline coffee, which was yummy but my drink which had milk and a praline cream top, sat in the to-go cup for at least 5 mins before the baristas poured the espresso in it. The odd thing about that is that the cream top wasn't at the top of the drink but at the bottom?

    The Praline Latte, Snow Matcha

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Yes, the line is sometimes long (but honestly show me a drink/food service where it is not amazing that is not long!). Yes, you will have questions about your order (because everything is fabulous:). Yes, you might need to find some parking on your own (that's city living in Los Angeles). Yes, you may experience a longer wait time for your drink (every drink is made with the highest amount of care and accuracy!). Yes, you will be greeted with a smile, given kindness when you place your order, and be asked for clarity about your item - because someone actually is invested in the quality of your drink. Pricey? I'm not so sure given all of the effort, the uniqueness, and special brightly lit/clean environment indoors and out...you get what you pay for: a magnificent coffee drink like you won't find anywhere else. I love it here...a special way to love myself in the way of a coffee drink.

    snow matcha and snow praline
    Izzy R.

    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.

    Im always excited to try a new spot, a love a bev and a sweet treat. This place is pretty good, but over priced in my opinion even in LA. $9 for a little matcha that is mainly filled with ice. I was also disappointed that they ran out of all their pastries. It's a pretty small place, but does also have outdoor seating. Overall nice, but not super impressed.

    Inside
    Sarah Y.

    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).

Dropped by on a weekend and had to park on the street like normal anywhere in LA. We walked down the street to find a very, very busy cafe and super packed but that's a sign, right? Absolutely. 100%. We hopped in line to order and a girl from afar complimented our pokemon shirts lol immediately put a smile on my face. We ordered and the drinks came out pretty quick! Got the Saint Latte and Pistachio Latte and let me tell you. This is hands down the best pistachio latte I've ever had!! Super creamy and the strongness was perfect.

    We live very close by and pass here all the time, but once I started seeing ads for it, I was…read morecurious to finally give it a try. My husband and I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, although almost all the pastries were already sold out, so I'm guessing the real rush is in the mornings. Overall, I personally wasn't a fan, mainly because the drinks and most of the food felt pretty underwhelming and lacked flavor. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was honestly the most bland matcha I've had, which is surprising considering there was strawberry puree in it. It didn't taste low quality, just very muted and not something I'd order again, especially since I get matcha (and strawberry matcha) pretty often elsewhere. My husband got the pistachio latte and liked it, but mentioned it leaned a bit too sweet for his taste. For food, we tried the breakfast bagel and I genuinely can't believe how bland it was. It had all the components you'd expect, everything bagel, eggs, cheese, aioli, bacon, and more, but somehow it just fell flat. I kept wanting to add salt or some kind of sauce to bring it to life. I actually stopped eating it because it didn't feel worth it to keep going for something so flavorless. The one highlight was the spinach quiche. I really enjoyed it and would come back for that specifically, although it did feel a little pricey for what it was. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if someone else wanted to go, I wouldn't object.

    I can't believe how many times I have passed by this coffee shop and never noticed it. Walked in…read morethis morning at 8:40AM and got a very nice welcome from Mary. Actually, all of their employees. Place was packed. Wanted to see and know the sizes of the cups for me to decide which one to go with and the price difference. I went with a medium size hot decaf (one shot) Vanilla Latte with Macadamia Milk. Also got a Blueberry Muffin and a plain butter Croissant. I thought that they would also have some breakfast items like egg, bacon, sausage, cheese etc..they didn't. They only had plain bagel and Cream Cheese. My Latte tasted very good, on the flip side the Croissant wasn't as warm and fresh as I wanted for it to be. I asked the ladies behind the counter to warm it up again. The muffin was very fresh and delicious. Lauren handed me the Latte and my goodies. I don't want to dock a star for the Croissant, but it could have been a lot more fresh. Place was clean, with one gender neutral restroom, inside and outside seating, and the price was right for the 3 items that I got. $14.00 in total plus my tip of $2.00. Street parking only, woman owned, beautiful art work on their walls by famous artists, merchandise for sale, and nice music from the 80's playing overhead. Last but not least, under the businesses amenities page it says, no dogs allowed. It was dogs galore inside and outside. No offense to people who have dogs, but outside is ok, not inside..

    This place is a hidden gem! I come here regularly for coffee, and it never disappoints. Not only is…read morethe coffee consistently delicious, but the pricing is surprisingly affordable compared to many other coffee shops. For two large iced coffees, I paid around $12.50, which is hard to beat for the quality. One of my favorite things about this spot is the atmosphere. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, and makes it a great place to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel valued as a customer. My go-to drinks are the Caramel Royale and the Vanilla Rose Latte over ice. Both are flavorful, well-balanced, and never overly sweet. I also appreciate that they offer a variety of milk options, including 2%, which isn't always easy to find at other coffee shops.. Overall, this place delivers on quality, affordability, and customer service. If you're looking for great coffee without the premium price tag, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely keep coming back! Thank you guys!
