Had the opportunity and privilege to come back and try their CORTADO and their LATTE again. Whatever they are using for their espresso drinks are smooth and tastes great as a CORTADO. It really was as a great as I remember. There was no line to get in. No line to order. As soon as I gave my order to the cashier, the barista started making the drinks cutting down on the wait time. The indoor and outdoor spaces are chill. Some people were working and some people were catching up with friends. Plenty of street parking in this section of Ventura Blvd. read more

Red Window Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

The Red Window is a quirky spot, with only a couple caveats. The location is cute, theming is great and there is plenty of seating, inside and outside. The red window motif is seen throughout the cafe, inside, outside, and even in the bathroom as well. The coffee and tea were very good and at a great price too! I got a hot earl grey and my partner got a hot flat white and we enjoyed both our drinks very much. On the day we visited the music was broken for the first time in 2 years, according to the employee, but despite this, the cafe still had an alright atmosphere. Lots of outlets plus the free wifi had no limit and was very speedy!! Main downsides: I guess they keep the door and sliding window open all day, which allows for a nice breeze but means there is a lot of street noise and on a day when it's cold, such as the day I visited, makes for a chilly room. The bathroom definitely needed a refresh as well and was a bit dirty and missing some items. The floors def needed a sweep and they have limited food options, just some bags of chips, a few pastries and egg and cheese sandwiches. There is no designated parking lot so it's tough, given the area, but if you look on the nearby streets you should be all good. Overall, I'd give this a 3.5 overall- would likely back again. Maybe on a day that's a little warmer and when I make sure to bring headphones. Such a cute spot! read more

I came in the late afternoon so it was pretty quiet here. There were a couple people working on their laptops or writing in notebooks. Definitely seems like it gathers an artsy/hip crowd. It's pretty no frills and even looks like maybe they haven't fully set up the interior yet. I like that the shop is super open air, but it does mean flies and it can get a little warm inside the shop. Service was okay. I ordered a dirty chai and a cold brew and both of the drinks were super solid! The chai had just the right amount of spice and the and the two shots of espresso definitely did the trick to keep me going for the rest of the afternoon. My husband said he really enjoyed the cold brew as well. Overall, solid drinks and a super casual environment, no frills. I would come back to grab a quick coffee in the future! read more

This place is usually my favorite coffee place in the valley. Amazing tectonic beans and Aussie strong shots. Outlets, WiFi, clean bathroom and plenty of street parking. I've met the friendly owner, his sweet little kids, and I adore every part of this establishment. I had one of the worst coffee shop experience on July 28, unfortunately. Despite of being the store supposed to be open until 5pm, they kicked me out at 4:40pm because the barista said he has to "go to work". He also mentioned there is a plumbing issue with the espresso machine, but what does it have to do with him leaving early for his other "work"? I went to Red Window and bought a cup of coffee, because I had an online meeting from 4-5pm. If they were going to shorten the time, they should have informed customers. Also, his friend was staying at the store as well, and his phone was connected to the store's speaker systems. I don't know if he was another barista just off duties, but him keeping changing the volume of music here and there was very distracting. The barista was not aware of some of the items on the menu when I asked what they were, so maybe he was new or just helping out. I understand that emergencies can happen- but a little heads up like "we are going to close in 5 min" or so would be nice. I love this store and come here 2-4 times a week, whenever I stop by at work nearby, but this experience was definitely something that makes me reconsider my go-to place in the area. They have built such a good community with a high quality coffee selections. It is such a shame that they hire someone who doesn't seem to be professional in customer service. read more

Red Window Coffee is a true neighborhood favorite. The coffee is consistently great--smooth, strong, and made with care. They've recently added matcha to the menu and it's excellent--balanced, not overly sweet, and thoughtfully prepared. Bella, the new owner, is an amazing baker. The pastries are always fresh and clearly made with real skill and attention to detail. You can tell quality matters here. Dan is one of the friendliest baristas around. He works quickly but never makes you feel rushed, and everything comes out just right. The vibe is relaxed with good music, free WiFi, and plenty of outlets if you want to hang out and get some work done. It's the kind of local spot you're happy to support. My only complaint? I wish they were open later! read more

The cold brew I got was not good at all. It's been a while since I bought coffee that tasted like this. Very disappointed. I didn't drink it. I also got a stuffed croissant which was delicous. The service was unfriendly, no welcome or any acknowledgement. The vibes here aren't for me. It was my first time here. I like supporting local businesses and trying spots I haven't been to. read more

Like some have mentioned, I used to also go to the location down the street that was just a tiny window and this place the best! So I'm happy they are back with this larger space. I'm more of a simple gal with my iced lattes, whole milk and no sweetener or a cappuccino. Its always so tasty! Highly recommend. read more

I didn't get food , just got a Kenya base coffee shot espresso. Definitely a strong coffee, tasted exactly what I thought it would taste like. The service was nice . Normal customer service, had a nice chat with them. The ambiance is chill, the theme is simple . I do like the small seating outside . It's just a chill local coffee with typical regular coffee it is what it is . They play music at night . It's pretty cool, I know some people review about it and complain, but if it's not your scene , just don't go. Don't bash on businesses because it doesn't cater to you. You look at their vibe and decide if it's for you. Overall: 4 out of 5 Coffee: 4 out of 5 Vibe: 4 out of 5 Customer service: 4 out of 5 read more

The Customer Service by the barista, Bella was organically five star excellence!!!!! When greeting me, she had a very warm and friendly smile, she actually remembered my drink order from the last time I was there, which is extremely impressive, Bella never made me feel rushed while taking my order, and she did the drink flawlessly perfectly .. Whoever the owners are of this coffee shop, they should consider themselves very lucky and blessed to have Bella as their team member ... read more

Red Window Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I loved the beans here and would love to come back when I'm feeling like treating myself! It was $6.50 for a 8oz. hot oatmilk latte, but it was the tastiest 8oz of espresso+milk I've had in months! The quality really shows although I wish the prices could be a tiny bit lower. There is seating inside and outside, and the staff were warm and friendly. Wonderful place to stop by for some great vibes! read more

I just stumbled upon this great coffee spot on Ventura Blvd this past week This coffee shop has a wonderful atmosphere. I immediately felt at home upon entering.-- The best part is of course the coffee! The quality was perfect (not bitter at all!), The staff is very welcoming! I will definitely be back! read more

I love Tectonic coffee, so Red Window was never going to disappoint. The new shop is bigger, with cool decor and seats to sit down and enjoy their coffee. One thing I just don't get, is why I have always gotten iced americanos and the ice comes 80% melted. So I always need to add additional ice after getting home. But the coffee is good so it's ok. Baristas here are always friendly. It's def one of the better coffee shops in the SFV. Parking does suck during peak hours cause Ventura is a crazy busy area. Cool spot, should try them! read more

Waitttttt absolutely love this place!! It's cute and small but gets the job done. I ordered the iced maple oat latte and it was so tasty. Perfect amount of espresso, cream, sugar, etc. etc. Staff were all soo sweet and the music was bumpin! What a vibe read more

I really use to like this place when it was just it was on Coldwater and Ventura. I was so wrong to come here. I don't think I'd ever come here again!!! The vibes from the very beginning were off. The guy behind the bar was just playing on his phone, it seemed like we were bothering him. He didn't wash his hands when he started. His friend stop by with a dog,petted the dog and kept making drinks. Over all the hygiene and cleanliness wasn't there... the pastry case was dirty,grease and covered in smudges. I was too embarrassed to ask for a refund, but I wasn't about to drink the dirty latte. My bf went back in for a refund and the guy totally lost it on him... he was telling him to fuck off and get the fuck out. That he didn't agree with the way he lived and threw a receipt paper roll at him. Terrible customer service!!!! terrible way to start a morning read more

Glad I came here on a whim. I couldn't read the menu (forgot my glasses) and the staff explained everything they had and gave me recommendations based on my preferences. The coffee was made super fast and they asked me if I wanted any changes. When I asked to make it a little sweeter, they immediately helped and it tasted great. The vibe was very aesthetic and would be a great place just to hangout. read more

Very lively coffee joint on Ventura. Typical modern tart espresso, but somehow I did enjoy it more than other examples of this genre. I usually prefer roasty-toasty espresso, but this had appeal. My wife liked her Americano. Expect an airy environment, loud-ish up-tempo music, and service with a smile. Worth returning to if in the mood. read more

Best vanilla latte I've had in the valley! They make the syrup in-house. Love the smell of the incense when I'm here!

First time at Red Window Coffee today! Cool little spot with a chill vibe. The girl who helped me was super friendly and makes a mean latte. In Arnold's voice: "I'll be back." read more

Aussies do it better!. Wait... do you need more from me?!?! Vinyl! There's vinyl. The best iced oat lattes in town. Thrilled that the owners have their own store front now. Always a vibe. Loved the old spot, grateful for their expansion. Run! Don't walk - open 7a-5p. I do wish it were 6a for work specific reasons but my fav coffee spot that I'm frequenting as often as possible lately. read more

Ive lived in this area for awhile now and have been looking for a neighborhood coffee place to try out, this place did not disappoint. The lovely lady at the counter (Katie i believe her name was) was so helpfull. I was debating between matcha or latte and she advised me to get the vanilla latte and it w3as one of the best ive tried! If your in the area i would 100% check this place out and shout out to Katie's amazing customer service! read more

Excellent coffee and the most inexplicably drop-dead gorgeous baristas I've ever seen. Not trying to objectify them, but I'm honestly offended. I got my nails did, a blowout, a spray tan, and I had to leave because the absolutely undeniable and intoxicating sexiness emanating from these anointed young individuals was making me feel equal parts insecure and aroused. I highly recommend the airmaricano, and gazing into the long haired brunette boy's soft sea-green eyes until you're lost in a daydream of a gentle soul-shaking lover's embrace reminiscent of a more passionate and sensual world. read more

I used to go to the location down the street that was just a tiny window and this place stole my heart with their delicious beans. I'm so so happy they are back with this larger space to serve the community. As always the coffee was delicious.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming. 10/10 recommend! read more

I've been a customer of Red Window since they opened their new location and it's one of my favorite coffee shops! They have excellent espresso and use high quality organic ingredients and Clover Milk, which is really important to me! Plus all the employees are so friendly and it's really cozy inside! read more

Red window generally is a lovely experience going into the store if you happen to have one of the workers who is old enough to understand how to behave in public. I know the ownership has recently changed and the former owner was trying to give a too cool for school vibe that, let's be real, isn't Sherman oaks...but I hope the new owner realizes that in the land of celebrity and wealth, having your baristas give an attitude is small fish and kind of embarrassing, this isn't urban outfitters in 2004. The coffee is good and would be wonderful to have regularly but they aren't consistently available on uber eats at the same time and sometimes you show in up in person well into business hours and no one's managed to open the place yet. So I'd say good coffee if you can get it when they're available and awake! read more

The coffee is truly amazing here. Unfortunately I didn't take photos but the service was quick and the ambiance set the tone for a nice day out with delicious coffee. I enjoyed my coffee with milk (usually do coconut milk) but the milk here is yummy so I enjoyed it with regular milk. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area. read more

Great coffee and pastries! I came with a friend early one weekend morning to grab and go, but next time I'd hang out and enjoy the ambiance.

Dog friendly with a cute couple of chairs and tables inside but the owner themselves came over to welcome me and say hi to my doggies. The vanilla latte was high key the best I've ever had no joke -- usually I opt for something funky, since vanilla lattes are like a basic. But it actually was SO good, the syrup is made in house which made sense. Also the coffee itself was incredible, smooth and I was really pleasantly surprised. read more

The coffee is just ok. But the price for what you get is absurd. With a tip it was almost $9. Supposed to be a latte but it was more cappuccino size. Would not return. read more

I really like the drip coffee but the last THREE times I went to RW. The coffee maker was broken . RW Tell me something different .. is the coffee machine broken or not ? Is the Margin on drip coffee not the percentage you are looking for ? I get it .. but please don't tell me that the machine isn't working when it might not really be the case . I really like your coffee but you know Alfred's has a drip machine that works . I might just stick with them .. it's a shame too because I like supporting local business . read more

I think a few reviewers are missing the point with Red Window : the music, the delicious smell, the great coffee, the ambiance and the interior style of the place is the vibe - the most unique spot on the blvd; everything's always delicious; the service is super warm, friendly and hardworking. quite noteworthy is Matteo, who manages all the orders skillfully and single-handedly, like a pro, whenever I'm there. read more

Would love to say I tried the coffee, but unfortunately, I stood in line to order and was ignored while the barista proceeded to flirt with a someone who didn't se to be ordering...for long enough that I got annoyed and decided to leave. If you have to ask the person behind the counter to acknowledge you first, as a customer, that's a big turn off. read more

Let's get the bad out of the way - Red Window is overpriced. $8 cups of coffee shouldn't exist. That said, we love the Red Window. Great coffee - love the AirMaricano personally and daughters love their syrupy drinks. Music and ambiance is a step above. read more

This place is a nuisance to the neighborhood. They open late in the night for what seems to be a club atmosphere; playing loud music and selling alcoholic beverages, $15 espresso martini (no record of a liquor license). One morning, they were still open at 2:40am, thankfully, they closed their doors as to limit the noise. read more

Place looks great, but the staff were aloof and didn't acknowledge my existence until I announced to them I was present and in need of service. Then they took fifteen goddamn minutes to make my drink. My latte tasted like bean juice--won't be back, but hey, at least I can say I tried Red Window Coffee. read more
