A slight reprieve from our high temps led us to make the decision today to venture out to Quat. Came here off a recommendation that someone I trust swore by so, here we were. Best way to describe this place is a campus tucked away. They have a place for classes, a large open meet up spot with seating, and it seems like it is surrounded by art or art adjacent studios. Their shop is definitely a coffee nerds dream come true. The actual coffee shop has a nice mix of drinks. The pour overs we got were served in these beautiful mugs and they really go out of their way to make their place distinct and set apart so you can just focus on your drink and your company if you made the visit with others or if you have a journal or good book. As a Baldwin Park resident there are many great coffee shops in the SGV so I don't know if I would make the trek out here again unless I decide to go splurge on some expensive equipment or take one of their classes. But for a one time visit it was awesome read more

Nice place to meet up. Seems popular with families. All outdoor seating. My matcha drink looks like a cocktail. LIke's the canele pastry that was flavored with rum and is crispy on outside. They brought out more pastries later in the afternoon. I'm aware they have coffee tastings here from time to time. read more

Easily my favorite of the Kumquat & Loquat locations. The retail shop alone is worth the visit--a great selection of coffee beans, matcha and brewing gear to browse through. I've stopped by a handful of times, and every visit has been great. Their drinks are consistently well-made, whether it's the cold brew or the iced matcha with cold foam. They are on the pricier side (the Costa Rica SIL Honey Geisha cold brew is $11), but the quality matches the cost. The staff are welcoming, the wait isn't bad and while there's no indoor seating, there plenty of space outside. Bonus: free parking in their lot! read more

Talk about trendy coffee shops -- this is one of them. Tucked away in a hidden industrial area, when you map it, it'll actually be a bit hard to find. Once you actually find it (pro-tip: it's not by the parking), you'll enter a beautiful oasis. The drinks are beautiful and quite tasty as well. My husband got the mascarpone and I got the marble. Both drinks were fantastic. You can actually taste the delicious roast of the coffee. This could make a great spot to meet with a friend or get a few hours of work done with your doggy. read more

So Quat is basically an expansion from the Kumquat / Loquat coffee group, so I'm thinking it's a connected sister/umbrella brand situation. I'm also not sure if Wynd is part of it as well (they were located on Virgil but moved elsewhere in the Arts District), but I did notice there was some sort of pop-up happening here too. I really love the location it's in, it's sort of hidden, and you might actually miss it if you're not looking for it. You park in the lot adjacent to it, and there's a sign that leads you to walk in. It really does feel like an oasis, like some people have described, tucked away from everything. Anyways, the coffee is amazing. The attention to detail these coffee shops put into everything is the cherry on top of it all. I'm a simple gal with my iced lattes with whole milk and no sweetener, and this place just knows how to get the ratio right, smooth, balanced, and not overpowering at all. Aside from it all, this location is definitely promising and I can see a lot of other businesses flourishing here. The vibe is so Zen. read more

I've really enjoyed all the other Loquat locations. Now that this opened up by our place, we had to check it out. The location has a very nice quiet minimalist aesthetic, tucked in the corner of a cul de sac. Great space to get some work/writing done. However, currently there is no Wifi. Service was friendly and the wait time for drinks is fairly quick. The drinks we got tasted smooth and well balanced. The pastries are good and would love to come back and try their breakfast burritos. The retail store next door is great and has a wide variety of coffee beans and matcha to purchase. read more

I visited on a Saturday, and parking was easy. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but not all of it is shaded, so be prepared for some sun if the covered spots are taken. The shop and coffee area have separate entrances, and drinks aren't allowed inside the store. There's a cart/rack near the entrance where you can leave your drinks while you shop, which is convenient. I've been looking for a matcha bowl for a while and came across one from Origami. It was labeled $26, which seemed like a great deal given the quality. Unfortunately, at checkout, the staff told me it had been mislabeled and was actually $45, and they couldn't honor the marked price. I understand mistakes happen, and I did overhear them saying it was someone else's error--they weren't sure how the $26 tag ended up there. It sounded like that price might have been the original Japanese yen price without markup. I guess it really was too good to be true. Still, it was a bit disappointing since I was excited to find it at that price in the U.S. Make sure you are charged the correct price during checkout in case they made the same mistake on other products and you get charged more than what you expect. Other than that, the staff was friendly. The coffee was decent, and the seating area had a really nice vibe. I would recommend this place if you are in the area and wanted to enjoy coffee without parking hassle. It's not exceptionally good coffee but it's still decent. read more

This place feels like a hidden secret garden. Minimalist and intentional with strong Japan-meets-Copenhagen energy. Calm, quiet, and beautifully restrained. It feels more like a curated space or small museum than a typical cafe. Order Highlights: We ordered several drinks and loved all of them. Standouts were the Matcha Latte and Cloudy With a Chance of Peanuts. Balanced, thoughtful, and clearly quality-driven. The Mocha is high on our list for next time. Service: Wait times vary wildly depending on when you come. We've experienced everything from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Mornings move fast, afternoons can back up. Regardless, service is efficient and you can tell each drink is made with serious care and attention to detail. Good For: A quiet coffee break, design lovers, and anyone who appreciates intentional spaces. The retail area is beautifully curated with unique items you do not see everywhere, which helps explain the higher price point. Price and Value: Comparable to other specialty cafes in Los Angeles. You are paying for quality, atmosphere, and the overall experience, not just a drink. Parking: Dedicated parking lot on site, which is rare in LA and a huge reason we keep coming back. Pro Tip: Come early if you want pastries. The case is often empty by afternoon. Seating is mostly outdoors and on dirt, so dress accordingly. read more

If you love trying specialty coffees and willing to spend a bit more for it, come try QUAT. Known for their other successful locations Loquat and Kumquat, Quat is constantly buzzing in the LA coffee scene. Expect a line, especially in the mornings. We waited in line for about 25 minutes and they had ran out of whole milk by the time we got to the front. The cafe is majority outdoor seating so very much weather dependent location. The private parking lot is right outside which is convenient. My matcha cloud latte was decent, not mindblowing or memorable in any way though. The topping was really rich and milky. The matcha wasn't strong or earthy forward. The whole drink was pretty mild in taste and mostly was creamy rather than matcha. My husband's latte was enjoyable but the cup was really small for the price. Its best to drink it immediately before it even has the chance to water down. With that said, I think the coffee here is better than the matcha. They have some nice merchandise, coffee tools, beans, matcha powder, and coffee books for sale. read more

very cute third wave coffee shop! They have a ton of outdoor seating if you're looking to catch up with a friend or get some work done (no outlets that I noticed). My friend got their golden mule and it was balanced and refreshing. I got their single origin pour over and it was well extracted and balanced. The service was quick and the prices were reasonable! They have a parking lot outside and street parking as well. They have a coffee club you could join if you like trying new espresso beans and a separate retail shop that I didn't get the chance to check out. read more

Admittedly, we haven't been to Loquat or Kumquat yet - and have heard only great things about both coffee shops, but have been to Fondry! And so with a free Sunday morning, we made the trek out to Glassell Park to check out Quat LA - and we loved everything about it! When we arrived around 11:30am, there were about 3 parties in front of us, and the line moved quickly. We ordered the latte (hot) and cloudy with a chance of peanuts, along with the kouign amann (from Fondry). The drinks were good, nothing crazy, but solidly good. Although I should note that the cloudy drink is on the smaller side and I wish the peanut butter flavor was stronger. But what we appreciated even more was the space and the complex and being able to just sit and rest with our dog, who probably loved his experience the most. The retail store is also cute with an assortment of coffee related items, merch, and a number of beans. In total, we spent about two hours here, sitting, sipping, people watching, reading - just trying to enjoy a perfect LA day. It can get sunny though, so make sure to bring sunglasses/a hat. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the biggest perk of all - the free parking in the lot adjacent to the complex! Even though Glassell Park is furthest from us, in comparison to the other coffee shops, we'd probably return here most often because of the parking and the spacious seating. We'll be back soon! read more

We had a hot drink and a cold one. Both very delicious. Marble-drink had just the right amount of sweetness. Will try other items in my next stops for sure. I just wish there were more shaded arias to seat and enjoy. read more

Taking advantage of LA's more decent traffic right after Thanksgiving, I finally paid a visit to Quat. Not only the road, the venue itself was at least less busy during this period. I've been hearing at least 30 minutes queue before even able to either place your order or enjoy your drink, but this weekend was much quieter (not like the venue was empty for sure, there's still quite a crowd there!). You could really tell the slow and chill vibes right by the time you enter the venue. People just sit and relax, mostly within their groups or with their pets; yep the venue was really suitable to do so! Don't be surprise that there will be tons of dog-barking to hear! Despite the huge open-air seating space to let you get sun-kissed, the indoor order area was quite tiny. They offered handful selections of drinks as well as the coffee beans. My visit was the last collab day with Wynd, which got me so excited being A HUGE FAN of it! As expected, very impressed by their signature Tres Leches. Decadently bold coffee, well balanced by the mascarpone cream top and cinnamon hint. It's kind of like dessert coffee, but not overly creamy that giving you 'too much' feeling #IYKYK. Really looking forward to seeing what they're going to carry out next post this collab and I'd surely be a happy returning customer! read more

I've came here twice now with my brother who is a regular. From what it sounds like, this place is popular among coffee lovers. As someone who doesn't really drink coffee, I still enjoyed this place. On the menu, they list the different notes you can taste and even for me I was able to taste it. They also partner with a bakery to sell baked goods which are tasty as well. read more

Quat is a coffee compound, while I mainly came here to drink coffee, this location offers the best retail shop for coffee I've ever seen. There are so many accessories for coffee including an expansive offering of beans. I do plan on coming back and getting some coffee items. Onsite aside from the store is the roastery for quat and retail shop. Seating is all outside but there is a nice outside area to enjoy your coffee. I tired two of their signature coffee Yuzu coffee punch and Muscuvado latte. First the punch has to be the most unique coffee concoction ever. I was told they make the milk clear. It is a unique citrus taste with coffee flavor very hard to describe. The latte I had was pretty solid, I think next time I'll get my coffee hot. Coming here makes me want to try both the other Loquat & Quat locations , I can't wait to come back. If you're a craft coffee lover you have to visit this place. read more

I am a huge fan of both kumquat and loquat so I was very excited to see they were opening this location. They are still currently in their soft opening phase but are doing a collaboration with wynd for a bit so their general menu is not available. Park in the designated lot to the left of the street and walk across to the warehouse studios. Inside they have two buildings, one for retail and the other for the cafe. The retail side has a wide variety of coffee, tea, barista tools and misc items. Seating for the cafe is only outside. read more

Total scam. They gave me a smaller cup on the weekday from what they gave me on the weekend for the same high price - they don't list the amounts of coffee on the menu so they can act innocent. But I kept my cup and can prove it. I won't return, I'll support honest local coffee shops that focus on the REAL community and not ones trying to scale a brand which always have these kinds of deceptive business practices behind them. Makes me wonder what else they do behind the scenes to vendors, suppliers, working-class support staff, etc. says a lot about who they are. read more

A coffee place with big patio, parking and is dog friendly. I think this would be a perfect co-working area if they expands their opening hours. Service was quick. I ordered a matcha latte and it was good, but not memorable, just your typical $7 LA matcha latte. Love that they have an open space so my pup can chill by my side and the jazzy music is definitely a plus. read more

It is Spring, a day before Easter and time for something new. Went to try Quat after having the tried and trues in NELA... Kumquat and Loquat, for years. And, what a treat it was to take the extra drive to the border of LA and Glendale (it's a big commitment to be so close to the SFV ...maybe it is the heat, the traffic, or the stress of dealing with the magnetic pull of the North ; p). This place is a beautiful location, very secluded from the hustle and bustling streets leading to Glendale and Atwater. There are lots of seating for groups or solo caffeine dosing. Without a doubt, pastries are going to be excellent since Fondry is the purveyor of anything carby at this spot. So, with that addressed and out of the way, the main reason for visiting Quat is the coffee, like Loquat, the roast and espresso is top notch. I love the drip, its so beautiful, flavorful and fruity. It's my top 3 for weekend coffee. Smooth!!! If you got a lil extra coin in the digital wallet, a must try is the Mascarpone. A cold latte like espresso drink that is so nice it can be under appreciated. The drink has a straight cold milk base with espresso topped with a mascarpone foam, bitter nibs, and coco powder. There are a few ice cubes to keep things cool, but not too many that the drinks integrity starts to change when you pick it up. With the ratio and ingredients, this drink has a wonderful mouthfeel and flavor experience. Once mixed evenly, per the barista's advice, the first impression is the velvety texture of the drink... then, you get a sweet cream taste that is wrapped by a toasty coffee flavor from the espresso. What brings it to the next level is the little bitter nibs floating in the drink, it provides a crunchy coco contrast to the drink. Just amazing. This drink alone makes it worth the wait in line and for the order to be made. The baristas are top notch, service is so good, and location is beautiful ...3 more reasons to visit Quat besides excellent coffee roast. read more

I got the Muscovado latte because the drink sounds different. I was here 10 mins early and there was already a line and it took 40 mins before I got to order and get my drink. When I left with my latte, the line was longer than ever. Dogs, kids, everyone! Little shade, so I would suggest an umbrella or sunhat and sunscreens. read more

absolutely obsessed with this new space! i looooove kumquat and loquat so much. seeing this new space makes me so happy bc of how far they've gone and how big they've become. i love the private tasting room and the retail space. the coffee is always amazing. baristas are the best, especially shenina! the outdoor space is so beautiful! & parking is easy!! read more

QUAT, the HQ of Kumquat and Loquat Coffee, is now open. It's where they roast the coffee. It's also a showroom/tasting room, a retail shop, and cafe with a shared garden space. Over the years, Kumquat/QUAT has been developing the brand to bring more items in-house. They opened their own bakery, Fondry, started roasting their own coffee bean under the Loquat brand, and now have a line of private label tea as well. The focus has been on quality since the beginning. QUAT is part of a new development with a garden in the center. There's even a shared parking lot. Look for the PARC sign on the left of the parking entrance (assuming you're facing away from the entrance towards Rosslyn St.) on Dolores St. The cafe is small but nice. Choose from Fondry pastries (different types of croissants), espresso drinks, cold brew, and teas. Pour over coffee is not offered. There is no indoor seating. The outdoor patio seating is lovely, but there are only a few sunbrellas, so it's not comfortable. Flat white ($5): consistent with what I've had at other locations, good foam art, well made, a bit on the weaker side but not bitter Fondry is well-respected as a bakery. I didn't get a croissant this time. Wish there were a wider variety of food offerings. The retail store feels like an art gallery with calm music and gorgeous boxes of some of the rare coffees they won at auction. You'll find coffee beans, tea, and brewing accessories on the shelves. Service was very kind. read more

I waited an hour and a half for these drinks, but it was worth it. The mascarpone cream top made the drinks taste unique and the matcha quality is amazing. This is one of my new favorite LA drinks, coming from a coffee shop lover. I'll definitely be back when there's a shorter line! read more

They're in a test run now. The cafe is small but has beautiful outdoor seating. The menu is small, as well, and only has a few signature drinks from the other locations. I got the last chocolate croissant from the Foundry; it's one of the best I've ever had! My latte had a few flaws. This location is easier than the others with the free parking lot across the street. Go now before the influencers come! The shop next door has beautiful items but they seem pricey. Great spot just to hang which is unlike the other locations that are packed. read more

QUAT was such a cute coffee shop. I loved the outdoor area and can definitely see myself coming again to read or just enjoy another cup of coffee.

Really like the space it's in. I've been a fan of the Kumquat guys since they opened in HLP. Appreciated that it was an enclosed outdoor area with different places to sit. I went on a Friday around 11am and it felt very mellow. I have an issue with the prices. I ordered the Yuzu Coffee Punch which was very good and refreshing. However it was $9 with tip and it was served to me in a small cup. The most egregious part is that half the cup was a giant ice cube. I don't mind paying for good coffee but it made me feel like I'd been taken advantage of. I'm sure making it is a very long process but at the very least, the size should have been communicated when I asked the guy taking my order about the drink. read more

I really like the place, it's very spacious with plenty of seating. However, it's a bit hidden and kind of out of the way, so you'd probably need to look it up on maps to find it.

Love the outdoor ambience and industrial garden setting. No indoor seating tho, so a few more tables or chairs and more shade would be nice. I love loquat, so I had high hopes for this place, but I ended up not getting anything, because I hate drinking coffee out of plastic cups, and that's all they have. It ruins the whole experience, imho. Just my personal preference. I'll be back, if they decide to invest in some proper cups and glassware. read more
