This coffee shop here in Beverly Hills, called MARU ESPRESSO BAR is always packed, there's no day that I've passed here that there is no long line. I got intrigued, what's the Hype? I went inside and it's a very small area, so that could be the reason why there's always a long line, but maybe not 'coz it's still like a never ending line here every time we pass by. I lined up and tried their SIGNATURE COFFEE the CREAM TOP. Got my drink quickly since they have many employees making the drinks. So I finally tried it and the hype is real, I can taste the good quality of their coffee here. Parking is tough here, it's one of the busiest areas of Beverly Hills since there are plenty of restaurants nearby. But they do have a couple of Parking structures around, parking that offers valet parking, but mostly Street parking. read more

My friends and I love this place. Best coffee place in the area. The best part about this place is very close to the rodeo drive and Beverly Hills sign. You can walk around Beverly Hills and have the best time going to this place. It's also incorporated at the corner of Maybourne hotel. read more

I LOOOVE this place soooo much! I always get the espresso con panna which is a shot of espresso with the cream of the panna cotta. All these pictures are the different times I've been there. Employees are really nice and friendly and will help you out. Line is always really long, can't sit there but still highly recommend! Place is a bit small. read more

Nice rich double shot Espresso with delicious cream top and cacao powder that gives a perfectly blended sweetness to compliment the bitterness (bitter but much needed). A big fan! read more

Cream top is a must-try if you like sweet coffees- it did not overshadow the aromatic coffee at all. Service was great and line moved pretty fast, so don't let that turn you away! read more

Best coffee in LA hands down. Espresso Con Panna was amazing. Great location. Tough parking but worth it

Maybe I didn't order the right drink, but I thought my drink was ok. I got the cream top and the cream top is definitely delicious, but once the cream top is not there, that's when the drink starts to downfall. Friendly service. There was a line but to be honest if there wasn't a line, I probably wouldn't have found it so quickly. This place is small. The line moved fast. It was about twenty minutes in total - walking there (short distance), standing in line, ordering, getting the drinks and walking back to the car. Finding a parking spot was difficult, but I'm glad I finally got to try this place. read more

Maru Coffee Bar is a solid stop if you're in the area and want something strong and well-made. Street parking was surprisingly easy, and even though it was a bit busy, the wait wasn't long at all. The cashier wasn't the friendliest, but the baristas definitely made up for it--they clearly know what they're doing. The cream top was so good, and the coffee itself was bold and smooth. Just don't expect to hang out for long, there's no seating. Overall, clean aesthetic and quick in-and-out vibes. read more

I've been to this coffee shop twice last month -- and that says a lot considering I live over 20 miles away! It's absolutely worth the drive. The coffee is top quality -- rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted every time. The cream top is fresh and complements the coffee so well. You can truly taste the care and attention in every cup. On top of that, the customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming. The staff makes you feel appreciated and remembered, which makes the whole experience even better. Great coffee, and genuinely kind service -- I'll definitely keep making the drive back. read more

Great coffee option in BH. I got the famed cream top (iced), which was tasty. The sesame pretzel croissant was possibly even better. Would try the vanilla bean flat white next time. They also just opened a location of Maru in NYC, so I'll have to check that out soon. 4.5 stars. read more

The BEST coffee in LA! Finally great crafted coffee. I got the Iced Breve Macchiato and my husband had the Light roast drip coffee (which you rarely see). We went 2x in one day it was so good! Small line, but it moves quickly. They staff are great and efficient. read more

My sister and I recently stumbled upon this place on a trip to Beverly Hills and we loved it so much we went twice. The first time we went, she got a cream top and I got an iced vanilla bean flat white. We both agreed that my drink was better, and we were really impressed with the quality. We kept seeing people with small cups and were wondering that drink that was since so many people had it. Since it was so good, we decided to go back the next day. My sister got an iced vanilla bean flat white, and I got the elusive iced breve macchiato in the small cup. WOW the iced breve macchiato blew us away it was so amazing. One of the best coffee drinks we have ever had. The small size is perfect because it is so rich. If you come here, you need to get the iced breve macchiato for sure. read more

As far as quality goes, Maru has probably the best espresso I've ever consumed in my life. It's so smooth and the flavors are perfect. I find most places overheat their espresso or don't brew at all constant temperature causing the espresso to burn even a little. The espresso here is so delicious and worth standing in a long line for. The aesthetic for this location is minimalist which I love, there are a couple spots to sit down while you wait. The staff works pretty fast considering the demand they deal with as the line is constantly out the door and wrapped around the corner. This location has metered parking so be prepared for that. read more

Such a cute coffee spot, with a line out the door, and I can see why. We waited a good 10 min on a Saturday morning, but it was so worth it. I got the Iced Breve Macchiato, and hubby got the Cream Top and the Espresso. ALL were great coffees and really yummy. That cream thing they put on top is seriously unforgettable. I'll come back for sure! read more

Small coffee shop with a minimalistic modern vibe. The cream top ($6.75) is their signature drink. It can come hot or iced, and as the name suggests, it's a creamy sweetened foam that sits atop the coffee. I'm personally a big fan of vanilla, so opted for the vanilla bean flat white ($6.75). Drink wasn't super sweet and the vanilla flavor was distinct. I also liked seeing the flecks of vanilla bean! Would highly recommend either drink. read more

One of the best coffees I've had in a while. I got the signature cream top and the ice breve macchiato. I definitely enjoyed the macchiato more and it tasted so good. Reminded me of coffee I've had in Korea. Definitely will be craving it and coming back here when I'm in the area. I came on a Sunday and there was a line out the door. It does move fast though. The staff makes the coffee as fast as possible as well. It's a small espresso bar so there's not much space for you to enjoy the coffee inside. It's more of a place to get your coffee and go. read more

Sadly this location didn't have matcha so I opted for their signature cream top- I'm so glad I did because it was amazing!! Simple and sweet! The cream top added a perfect level of sweetness. I came on a late weekday morning so I was able to find street parking easily a couple blocks away. Waited about 5 minutes in line. read more

The cream top by itself is so good!! Took awhile for it to mix with my coffee so I was enjoying it by itself for a while. But mixed it is really good but who doesn't like sweetened heavy cream. The drink size is a 12 oz so not the biggest serving but price wise it wasn't a $7 cup. There is a structure next to it that is free for up to 2 hours. read more

Pls tell your Manager at the BEVERLY HILLS MARU we have mothers with babies ,handicap people who all wait in line for our turn , every morning there is a certain few and the manager knows who they are who by pass everyone. and step up to the front of the line it's not fair to the rest of us who wait .

We decided to come to Maru Expresso Bar & wauuu the line was so long. We waited 20ish minutes to get to the front. Maru Expresso Bar only serves expresso/ coffee drinks & is an overall aesthetically pleasing coffee shop right off of Rodeo Drive.

Okay I wasn't expecting it to live up to the hype but... it did. The coffee is rich, smooth, and the iced vanilla latte I got was perfectly balanced with the espresso and milk. I only wish they did their famous cloud cream in a non dairy version because it looked great. They charge .75 for oat milk which feels tacky for a fancier cafe since nowadays many places don't upcharge and all the milks are pretty much the same price. No bells and whistles here - just a very thoughtfully made lattes. And lots of men packed behind the coffee bar working away! I'd definitely go back! read more

Maru Coffee has been in my bookmarks for a long time so I was really looking forward when I saw this cafe while being in the area. They didn't have any matcha latte though We ordered Vanilla Bean Flat White with extra milk on the side and Cream Top. The cream was so delicious. The coffee on my Cream Top wa very smooth. We definitely loved our drinks. We were so excited that we didn't get to take photos of our drinks. The queue was somewhat long when we got there. We were in line for 10 minutes and our drinks came in less than 5 minutes or so. There were only limited seats inside the cafe. read more

from the first sip, the quality of the beans is evident. i really loved the espresso con panna! a very small cup but every sip was delightful and packed a punch. the cream top wasn't my favorite because the coffee itself didn't taste that strong. the cream itself at Maru is absolutely delicious!! read more

Definitely a gem in the heart of Beverly Hills! I visited for the first time this afternoon with a family member and ordered a Vanilla Bean Flat White and a Cream Top. They both were delicious, had a strong coffee flavor and sweetness level was perfect for my liking. The barista at the register was super friendly and the rest of the staff were kind as well. It does get very crowded inside and the shop is pretty tiny, however there is a plentiful seating area around outside to lounge. read more

We went for their cream tops but didn't end up trying any! I got the espresso con panna- the cream part was an 11/10 and the espresso beneath it was fruity and strong. I'd get it again! We also tried the vanilla bean flat white and it didn't peak my interest as much. The real star of the show was the chocolate donut which I was not at all expecting to be as moist, rich, and chocolatey. 10/10. Service was average nothing special. There was a long line but the wait was not bad at all and the drinks came out in a decent time. Ambiance was chill, the place was nice but very small so no seating inside but plenty of seating down the block. read more

I love walking my dog here on the weekends. It's the best coffee in the area! There's always a line but it moves fairly quickly. The inside of the cafe is tiny and usually really crowded so you'll have to take your stuff to go, but it's in walking distance of the farmer's markets and a bunch of other cute plazas in BH. read more

Such a cute expresso bar! They have fine crafted expresso! The drinks are simple but soooooooo good Just no seating available but I like to sit at the lawn next door and get some sun. Parking is also only metered street parking! Can't wait to come back. Such great coffee I got the iced macchiato (2 shots expresso and cream) Friend got a flat white! We both loved ours read more

After working across the street and living a few minutes away I just learned about this place a few weeks ago. Sadly! Haha because I've come to love them. Amazing, bold and fresh espresso drinks. Super friendly customer service. This place always has a line out the door but the staff works incredibly fast and really well together to make drinks at a decent pace. I highly recommend this coffee shop for an amazing cup of joe. read more

Great experience, excellent coffee. Cream top is their signature drink and it was recommended by their frequent patrons. It wasn't super sweet once mixed into the coffee base, and as someone who doesn't care for sugar, I thought it was really good. read more

Quick service that doesn't miss quality or attention to your drinks. I ordered the cream top with light ice. I'm glad they know what "light ice" means! I appreciated it so my coffee isn't watered down. Coffee is smooth with a good flavor. Cream top is perfectly sweet, creamy, and pairs well with the coffee overall, a good coffee shop read more

My favorite coffee shop. They haven't different location and this one is near rodeo dr. All their coffee drinks are amazing. Can't go wrong with it. Of course, with anything, it's also base on preference and taste buds...for me, I have never had a bad drink from them-even their matcha is quality. We got one of their cookie(pastry?) and it goes amazingly well with their coffee. The shop is small so there isn't much room for seating and don't expect a chat with their cashier or barista-they are busy. read more

This is my favorite espresso bar ever. They are known for their foam, the Foam Top drink. I came everyday and without a doubt will be back everyday the next time I'm in LA. They have THE best "queen amon" as how you pronounce it but I won't try to spell it. It's the same one that they sell at the well know grocery store in BH that starts with "E". There's always a line but often it's quick. read more

So my daughter tried convincing me to come to this place and get a coffee cause apparently it's supposed to be really good. What she was thinking.

Maru Espresso Bar is what every coffee shop in Los Angeles should aim to be. It's clean, calm, and focused on quality. The baristas care about what they're doing, the drinks are consistently excellent, and the atmosphere feels intentional without being pretentious. Just a heads up for anyone new to the area. Do not confuse Maru Espresso Bar with Mauro Cafe. The names may sound similar, but they are worlds apart. Maru delivers perfection in a cup. Mauro Cafe is messy, loud, and filled with staff who act like you're bothering them by showing up. One takes pride in every detail. The other can't be bothered to wipe down a table or get your order right. At Maru, I've never had a bad drink or a negative experience. The service is respectful, the environment is peaceful, and the quality speaks for itself. Meanwhile, Mauro feels like a place that survives on hype, not substance. If you want a real coffee experience made with care, skip the nonsense and go straight to Maru. read more

Maru Espresso Bar - Long line waiting to try this coffee. Let's see how it goes wait for the review - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

10/14/2024 Second time coming here and Maru has not let me down. Okay, maybe only the long lines. ;) ESPRESSO CON PANNA Deep, smoky, bitter double espresso with cool whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder on top and around their demitasse cup. There wasn't a sharp contrast of hot and cold temperatures between the espresso and whipped cream. It starts with a bitter double espresso and ends with a sweet brown sugar flavor waiting at the bottom of the cup. That end flavor was very pleasant. I recommend that you drink this at Maru to get that full experience. ICED BREVE MACCHIATO Made exclusively for Maru Espresso Bar, THIS espresso is a must-try! This is the second time I've tried it and I love it even more than the first time I've tried it! Anyone who likes a slightly more sweeter drink would truly enjoy this! Not only was it delicious, but the marbling in their 8oz cup is so pretty! Stir everything together and enjoy every sip! This goes great with a buttery croissant! Highly, highly recommend! CUSTOMER SERVICE Like the first time, service was good. Everyone was friendly. However, my complaint is that the line moves at a snail's pace. Each espresso is undoubtedly made with care, but that means standing longer out the door and on the sidewalk. Got here a little after 11:00am and I just stood there on the side of the street, which is pretty awkward. But hey, coffee's great! I do wish Maru Espresso Bar was bigger; adding more tables and chairs. Each espresso needs to be enjoyed sitting down, not drank from to-go cups! Also, more pastry options and chocolates need to be added for that extra something that makes your day go even better. Having said all that, will be coming back! Wish Maru Espresso Bar came to Orange County because the coffee scene here is quite sad. read more

Cream tops are unmatched!!! The line can get pretty long, waited about 20 min but it was very worth it! Love grabbing a coffee here and walking around the area. If you're not into cream tops the spicey coffee is also delicious. They really care about the craftsmanship of each coffee. Can't rush art! read more

I came to Maru Espresso Bar on a weekend about 15mins after they opened. There was already a short line. The location is right next to a hotel at a dead end street. Plenty of street parking if you are quick. I got the Cream Top and it was good but I would definitely not wait in a long line for. I see people getting a shot of espresso and just sipping it there. The place is small so it wouldn't be ideal to hang around there. read more
