Iced vanilla coffee
Bayan M.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating when I was trying to decide what to order! Needed up getting the cold brew made with some vanilla syrup and splash of milk since I didn't want a latte. Plenty of seating and street parking wasn't too hard to find on a Saturday. Loved the ambient music they were playing in the background and enjoyed my experience here ! Perfect place to get some work done.

This is one of the largest coffee shops I've ever been in so it's very spacious. Plenty of seating for indoor and outdoor. Parking is not easy to find but possible in this area. the ice vanilla lattes are fine but it's expensive like everywhere else. You come here for the vibes and the giant space. Good if you want to meet multiple people.

coffee and cake

nice place with good vibe. Love hanging out with friends here. We were here on a weekday, pretty busy. People obviously love here.

Plain pizza slice
Jesse B.

The good: atmosphere is nice, plenty of seating and tons of natural light. Gets busy but there's a good crowd energy with people having conversations and also a fair amount of people working on laptops. Productive vibe. The fine: food is decent. Went with a plain slice of pizza today and it was good. $8 for a slice is a bit steep though. The bad: you order at the counter, pay at the counter and then get prompted for a tip. Before it was no issue, but now you also have to come back to the counter to pick up your food and drinks, you are expected to bus your own table and most tables are out of silverware or napkins so you have to "bother" the staff for that. Why are we defaulting to 20% tip on a screen if there's no service? Oh and also I waited 15 minutes for them to heat up a slice of pizza. Sightglass is good to hit for the vibe or just to be in a space that feels productive, but middle of the road when it comes to service.

Run don't walk to Sightglass Coffee! I'm OBSESSED with this place! I went for the first time today and it's so cute! There is outdoor and indoor seating, communal spaces and booths. The set up is great and the aesthetic is 10/10. The food was AMAZING! I will be back for the chocolate chip cookie and almond croissant and the brown butter miso coffee! Sandwich and burrito were also amazing my but the pastries stole the show. Food was ready quickly and everyone was so kind, can't want to come back!

Outdoor signage

Phenomenal coffee and the atmosphere makes you feel just at home Their chocolate Chip cookie is truly one of the best I've had in LA Highly recommend! One thing I'd mention if you're coming here to work, is that there aren't any plugs for your devices

I visited Sightglass for the first time this morning. The line was long but wait time was pretty short. The employee at the register was nice. I purchased a croissant which was okay. Didn't try the coffee, maybe next time. The sandwiches looked great but out of my budget at $14 Jesus cristos. Think I'll go back to el pollo loco and get my brc burrito for a couple bucks . The atmosphere is nice, the eating area is ample and clean. It appears they brew their own coffee on the spot? They also sell locally made crafts and chocolates. Love it. Next time I'll come with my sugar daddy so I can buy a coffee and sandwich.

ICED BROWN BUTTER MISO CARAMEL LATTE w/ Cold Foam and espresso tonic
Taylor J.

The perfect start to our glorious girls day! I had a wonderful time hanging out here with my girlie pop! I'm currently on a farewell tour of seeing all of my girlies before I head up north. Sightglass coffee was an excellent place to start our day! Arrived at around 11am on a Saturday and this place was filled with beautiful people (very LA)! We stood in line while perusing the menu and so many things jumped out. Our mouths also watered when we saw all of the yummy pastries on display as well! For drinks, I got the iced caramel miso latte while my friend grabbed the espresso tonic. Mine was super yummy! It was creamy, sweet, and a little umami, soooooo good! I loved that we dined in and our drinks were served in glass cups. We also shared a French onion danish and oh my word! It was so incredible. I knew I wanted something to nosh on and this was perfect. Flakey and delicious with onion and cheese. Good thing I was sharing because the fat kid within me wanted the whole thing and another. I expect to have dreams about this danish. Definitely the highlight of the visit! Also the staff were super sweet and kind! They checked on us a few times. Really great customer service. Very nice 45 minutes spent here! It was the best start to our day in Melrose shopping! When I'm back in town, I'll definitely want to visit again for another yummy drink and a danish.

Muffin
Chrissy L.

Sightglass Coffee in Hollywood is beautiful, spacious, and has a great relaxed atmosphere. The Muffin was fresh, soft, and delicious.

Ryna D.

Wonderful space and fantastic coffee, albeit a bit expensive over all. Can't stay away from those perfect flat whites though..

Richie D.

I first tried sightglass in SF and I really liked it. I finally tried their LA location and it did not disappoint. I tried their hot latte with oat milk and then their iced latte with oat milk. Both very good, solid choices! Plenty of seating inside and some outside in the back and in front. Pastries and coffee beans are available as well.

Reviews are mixed. Many enjoy the spacious, welcoming atmosphere, quality coffee and drinks, and fresh pastries.

Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors. The coffee itself was smooth, with no harsh or overly bitter aftertaste. I also liked that the flavors complemented the coffee rather than overpowering it. Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

This was my second time visiting Memory Look. They have plenty of seating options both indoors and…read moreoutdoors, which is definitely a plus. Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

It pains me to give this 5-stars but truth be told, they deserve it…read more Let me preface: I am not from LA, I don't live in LA, I am not an LA POS. But Community Goods is often touted as staple POS behavior. Naturally, I scoff at the idea of driving to a ritzy part of town to wait an hour in line for coffee and Hawaiian roll sandwiches. And yet, that's exactly what we did. Given my preconceived notions of LA culture, I envisaged biting into a gluten-free, flavor-free, low-carb, lean protein, overpriced slider. I'd walk away disappointed, a bit poorer, and still hungry. Yeah, nope. First off, they had espresso tonics. Dead ass simple item but surprisingly hard to find on café menus. I absolutely love them. Note to self: look into making them at home. On a hot day like today, their espresso tonic hit heavy, almost made me want to grab a 2nd one (if it weren't for the line). But their slider stole the show. The photos don't really do it justice, and yeah it's not the fattest thing in the world. But bacon, eggs, and cheese on a roll is so simple, so greasy, so delicious that you really can't go wrong. Ok yeah you can get that literally anywhere. But something about how haphazardly and dgaf it's assembled, plus whatever the hell sauce it comes with, makes this slider just a touch elevated. The inside had fun little trinkets to window shop. Once you're in the little shack, the line doesn't feel as daunting. There are benches, you can look at the menu, you can shop a bit. The workers all had these sick black canvas (or was it denim?) overalls. I wonder if those are for sale? Seating is sparse, they've got tables along the sides and back, or you could eat in your car. The shack is small, don't expect to linger after getting your order. I probably won't be back. but all things considered, yeah this spot is hyped up heavy, but now I understand why.

I got the matcha einspanner and it was really good! Leans more on the sweet side in my opinion…read more(makes sense given the cream top). Staff was very welcoming and line moved quickly - I would recommend going on a weekday if you can. There's limited seating in the back but customers came and went quickly so no one was standing around waiting for too long. The best thing we had was the egg sliders - the brioche bread was amazing and the sweet sauce and side aioli (?) went really well together. Make sure to get there before 12pm on the weekdays if you want to order it, as they switch menus offerings. The chicken sandwich was also really good but would recommend the egg sliders if you had to choose.
