The music though! Good playlist at the time. The staff was super kind and helpful walking me thru the menu. I ended up getting the peach cortado and loved it. She also gave me a sample of their cold brew, which I ended up buying beans to take home. Parking is metered, so just something to keep in mind. I'd def come back again when I'm in town.

Is this possibly the bougiest coffee shop in L.A. (bougie defined as pretentious)? Yah, it's…read moredefinitely in the running. The patrons include bicyclists whose bikes cost more than my car, folks driving Porsches (the bougiest car of all imho), lots of performative tattoos, and more athleisurewear than I've seen in my life. And this is in Cypress Park, which to me is most famous as the location of my favorite King Taco (not bougie at all). So, is gentrification happening here? That's a big yes. When the word "elevated" gets used to describe menu items, that's a dead giveaway. And yet....that Mascarpone latte is a work of art. Per their website, it's a "Tiramisu inspired drink layered with espresso, mascarpone cheese foam, and muscovado milk." It's just as good as it sounds. And honestly, these days, $8 was a bargain. Shocking how many young people were up and ordering their custom drinks at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. I'm guessing the line gets really long on weekends. So order early! Five stars for creative drinks and free street parking.

Was able to revisit LOQUAT COFFEE a few times since my last review. A couple of times with…read morecoworkers and another couple of times with fam. In each and every visit, I know I am boring, I ordered the same thing - CORTADO. The benefit of being boring and visiting several times is that I can definitively say that they churn out consistently GREAT cortados. I was able to finagle some of the following as well: - HOT LATTE. Not "watery", or should I say "milky". Strong and creamy. - FONDRY KOUIGN AMMAN. Sooo good. Of course. And without the Fondry line. Staff is always awesome. Parking looks challenging but I've never had a problem. There was always space for me to sit and down my bean drug.

The cafe shares space with a film lab, and there was a good amount of seating available. The vibe had a chic industrial aesthetic, and while it was not the coziest environment I found it comfortable enough to sit for a while. I enjoyed my espresso con panna, and I could see myself coming back to check out the film lab during a future visit!

I was driving around my old neighborhood and found this coffee shop and saw reviews and I just…read more had to go on and try it for my self. After I went inside and asked for some recommendations, I felt a little weird because it seemed like they were bothered by me. I asked about an item, and the interaction just felt a little awkward. Maybe it was just bad timing when I went, so I don't want to judge the whole experience based on that one interaction. As for the ambiance, the place had a nice coffee shop feel and was a decent spot to stop by and enjoy a drink. The overall atmosphere was pretty comfortable, although the experience could have felt a little more welcoming. Anyway, I ordered the iced latte, and it was actually really good. It wasn't too sweet at all, which I really liked because sometimes iced lattes can have way too much sweetness. The balance of the espresso and milk was good, and the latte had a nice, smooth taste. The espresso was on point and didn't have a bitter taste, which made the drink even more enjoyable. Overall, I definitely give them points for the latte. Even though my first interaction felt a little awkward, the coffee itself was good enough that I'd consider giving them another try. Maybe next time the experience will be a little different. I might go back later and try something else from their menu.

Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their coffee. I shall return to try their cold coffee. I recommend them.

You're greeted by relaxing music, a minimalist interior, and a kind of quiet that's rare for a coffee shop. The sound insulation deserves a special mention -- you can actually sit down, slow down, and enjoy your coffee without unnecessary background noise. The simple, understated design complements the atmosphere perfectly. Just one look at the equipment and the way the person behind the bar approaches his craft is enough to know you don't have to worry about the quality of the drinks. During my visit, I tried the espresso, V60, cold brew . The espresso was balanced and pleasantly fruity, the pour-over was excellent, and the cold brew was properly made. Everything was prepared with care and respect for the coffee itself. Perhaps the most surprising part is how modest the prices are for coffee of this quality. Special respect for the house rules. They clearly know how to respect themselves, their craft, and the product they serve. Thank you again for the warm and welcoming service!

The cafe is very minamalist. I didn't realize there's a sign of no photo taking inside. Also, no laptop use and oustide food allowed.

PREVIOUS REVIEW2 It's been a while since I've been here the previous time. In addition to being very nice last time (except for the logistics of ordering and the non-functioning power outlets), the please remains a peaceful oasis and the ordering process has improved since. Most importantly, the coffee remains delicious, and the tomato basil tart was a wonderful quick lunch followed by a multi berry muffin. PREVIOUS REVIEW1 Cute little place in Atwater Village!! So cute with peaceful, relaxing and quiet atmosphere (inside/outside) that I thought I could get some work done (free WiFi). The concept is a bit confusing: There are a bunch of "menu items" such as sandwiches and wraps etc, but while they are listed on a big board behind the counter, you have to actually grab them premade/prepacked from a fridge ... The Vegan Smokey BBQ Wrap was very good except for the short and transient moment when I opened the container, but after all it was actually fresh, juicy and had a great flavor mix. The Mex Mocha with Almond milk (alternatives are available) was delicious, and I paired it with a GF Orange Chia Bread Loaf. PS: I'm neither Vegan nor GF fanatic... What really defied the purpose of coming here was the non-working power outlets, and the manager not taking care of it. My laptop unfortunately does not have a TESLA battery and hence I did not last for 2 hours... PS: I neither have a TESLA nor a Prius either ... Tip: Parking on this side of the street can be tough, look on the other side ...
