Ordered the sweet n spicy pizza slice. Also had the breakfast pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their Roman pizza were. Now you can come get your pizza, coffee, wine and beer all in one place. I think they have happy hour where pizza comes with beer or wine for a super low price. Their coffee is also really good. I have purchased their whole bag beans.

Keep your head up!

What a beautiful hidden gem, discovered with a little help from AI!!! The staff is exceptionally warm, welcoming, and friendly, even when some patrons aren't quite as gracious. There's a place and space for everyone here, even if it means asking a stranger whether you can share their table. I actually came hoping to network because ChatGPT recommended this spot as an environment conducive to casual conversations between work sessions. Well, apparently everyone got the memo about the WORK, but not so much the NETWORKING! Most seemed deeply immersed in their own worlds, with few making eye contact or even acknowledging a friendly nod. Nevertheless, 10s ACROSS THE BOARD for the coffee, cinnamon roll, atmosphere, and wonderful staff! One word of advice: Come fully charged! There aren't any outlets, so your laptop battery needs to be as prepared for the experience as you are! A delightful discovery, and definitely a place I'd visit again!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful Ambiance, perfect for studying lots of open spaces, Food was delicious I recommend getting the breakfast burrito. Pricing is on the more expensive side but you get what you pay. Service is also great and the workers are very nice.

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.

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

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.

It seems the other options for matcha and hojica were not popular - tonics, regular matcha with sweet cream, dirty matcha, etc But it was the perfect combination of creamy and bright, that's putting it lightly :). I got the hojicha latte by its house special, choice and recommended hojicha powder with oatmilk and absolute no fuss customer service. I would like to repeat this order with a foam so that the upcharge is worth it though. Not to mention, that variety of hojicha is definitely Korean whereas the matcha shifts recommendations season-to-season and depends upon the syrups of the shifting preferences in-house.

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.

Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted.

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!

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 won't bore you with the wait (but yes, we waited 40ish minutes). We got the typical matcha latte, and also the hojicha latte. I actually liked the hojicha one more! It held onto its hojicha essence, I feel like some places dilute it so much or add so much sugar. Here, you could taste the nuttiness of the hojicha, and I think there was a touch of maple syrup added. I liked the drink so much, I ordered hojicha powder online after (not the same, obviously!) Would I come back again? Yes.... but only during truly off-peak times because I don't think I can get myself to wait in line again lol.
