    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

    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

    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).

    Their desserts are good! Unfortunately the matcha latte has to be the worst I've had (I normally…read moredon't write reviews but this had to be done). For one, the matcha powder was not properly whisked with the water (or the water wasn't hot enough) so there were visible clumps of powder throughout the drink. At the bottom of the cup there were small black particles, not sure if that was also the powder or something else. The drink itself tasted mainly like milk a little minty and fishy though. The drink was ready within 3 minutes of orders so I'm not sure what their process of making drinks is. This could've been an off-day but I don't really want to try again to find out. Stick to the desserts!

We've seen all the viral fruit pastries online, and were so excited to try them. When we got in, we were able to see all of the options on display and they had a big menu telling you exactly what was in each one. You order off of a kiosk, which makes it incredibly easy to order. Almost all of our pastries were ready before we had even left the kiosk, which was great! I went with the mango and the peach, both of which were fantastic! The shortbread cookie underneath both was delicious, the mango mousse and filling tasted so fresh and amazing. The peach had an Earl Grey cream and fresh peach chunks as well. Both were in the classic white chocolate shell. These are so cute, fun to eat, very refreshing, and not overly sweet.

They make daily, from-scratch pastries in small batches, ranging from mochi donuts, butter croissants, and custard-filled donuts to fresh baguette sandwiches, salads, and tons of drink selections like fresh juices, mineral waters, and lattes. The service is super friendly and incredibly fast. The system is so fun and easy: you just walk in, grab a tray and a pair of tongs, handpick your desired pastries, and head to the front. You can eat there or take them to go in a box. If you order a sandwich, they can heat it up on-site for you so you get a cheesy, warm, toasty meal. For this visit, we tried: World Cup Special Donut: A custard-filled donut topped with chocolate and shaped like a soccer ball in honor of the World Cup going on right now. The egg custard filling was so addictive and creamy--absolutely amazing! Almond Croissant: Stuffed with almond paste, covered in buttery, toasted almond slices, and dusted with powdered sugar. The flavor was fantastic! The inside could have been just a tiny bit more moist, and I always wish for more of that delicious almond filling, but it was still extremely flavorful. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Sitting outside is especially nice since you're facing busy Ventura Boulevard, making it a perfect spot to shade-sit and people-watch. Plus, it's located in a great shopping plaza, so there's plenty of parking. My only critique is that it is definitely a little overpriced, making it more of a "once-in-a-while" treat rather than a daily habit. Still, it's a truly fantastic spot if you want high-quality, fresh-baked bread and pastries~~~
