    Orange blossom matcha
    Margarita W.

    Tiny little Australian owned coffee shop with delicious drinks. Good quality coffee/matcha with friendly service. Not a lot of space to sit, but there's three chairs inside and a bench outside I think. No bathroom.

    Cafe de olla

    Tectonic is a tiny cafe serving up the best Cafe de olla that I've tried. You can tell the baristas are meticulous in how they make coffee. Very delicious and I'll come back

    Such a cute and hidden Aussie owned little coffee shop! Literally we were driving by and only because of the bright blues and wavy ocean vibes did it catch our attention! Definitely a hole in the wall shop, but they do have a couple of parking spots, a few seats inside and a bench outside for seating. My friend and I walked in to warm greetings yesterday as we popped in for some afternoon caffeination. I had an iced nitro cold brew which was tasty for $7 and my friend had a tonic, we were both pleased with our drinks. Such a cute shop that I will surely pop into to try more of on their menu in the future! As I walked out I joked that I, too, am Australian owned much like this coffee shop - working for an Australian tech comp for 16 years. Har har! I should mention, they did have a vegemite caramel latte drink for $8 on their menu keeping to that line! That will absolutely be what I try next time~ Taaaaaaa!

    This is an Australian owned coffee shop and the coffee was amazing! Highly recommend if you want a good cup of coffee! Staff is always so friendly which is always a plus! Its small little place so it does get crowded but its totally worth it! My favourite is their vanilla past iced latte. So good!

    Milo Mocha

    Expensive but great Australian coffee shop in the West Hollywood area! I visited this small coffee shop during Pride weekend on a Sunday and it was decently busy. The small space was adorned with Aussie décor and there was a small table and seating area by the window. As a Southeast Asian, I had to order the Milo Mocha as it was a nostalgic part of my childhood and this did not disappoint! The ice drink was chocolatey and yummy! The milo combined well with the coffee. I also absolutely loved the crunch milo bits on the top. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because of the size relative to the price. It comes in a really small plastic cup for $9!!! It was very expensive for what you get. However, if price and size isn't a big component for you, it leaves this as a coffee shop serving up some great drinks. I would visit again if I wasn't trying to save too much.

    My husband and I randomly stumbled upon this place after eating at Mamie across the street. It's a cute Aussie-owned cafe with a little outdoor patio. The indoor space is tiny with no seating (basically just a counter to order) and a few tables outside. I got an iced Cafe de Olla Latte and my husband got a hot Vanilla Latte. I liked the cinnamon and star anise flavors in my well-balanced latte. I was hoping for a bit more of that orange peel flavor though but it was super subtle. The latte art on the vanilla latte was beautiful. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks although it was a bit pricey for $7.70 per drink but then again, this is LA! Parking: free in small lot with limited spaces, or you can find street/meter parking nearby.

    Love this place!! Coffee is consistently delicious and I love all of their flavors. Would come every day if I wasn't so far! It's a small shop but filled out well, seating and merch/beans available in a cute display. Baristas are always super nice, friendly and knowledgeable! Exactly what you want from a roaster's shop. I've loved everything I've ever had from here

    Matcha Latte w Oatmilk
    Tyler S.

    Tectonic Coffee nails the balance of quality and vibe. My Matcha Latte with Oatmilk (hot) was smooth, earthy, and perfectly crafted. The space is clean and minimalist, making it easy to relax or focus. Service was quick and friendly--ideal for a morning boost or mid-day reset.

    This was my first time stopping by, decided to try it out for a quick breakfast. I was lucky to get parking right up front! I ordered the golden Tumeric w/oat milk and it has to be the best I've had, no joke! Also tried their ham & cheese croissant which was a hearty size ( I saved half for later). I didn't catch the girls name that helped me out but she was super welcoming & very sweet. Amazing customer service, pretty small inside but they do have an outdoor covered area to enjoy your coffee/pastry. I will definitely be stopping by again when in the area!!

    Fairy Latte
    Zachary L.

    The service here is always excellent. They have some really fun drinks that I really enjoy trying. If you're looking for new fun coffee or tea, this is the place! The fairy latte was fun and tasty.

    Tectonic Coffee Cafe is a small business whose products are just as good as the big players. If you want some coffee while driving around West Hollywood and don't want the corporate flavor, check this joint out.

    Just happened to walk by this place to try it. It was really cute and love that it's Aussie owned. Great coffee flavor and service. I'd come back when in the area.

Last Sunday the line was a little bit shorter, and I was craving coffee so I decided to try it for the first time.

But after taking my first sip... I completely understood the hype. The Matcha einspanner is absolutely heavenly. It's rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had. We also ordered the pistachio bread and the sliders for breakfast, and both were delicious. The pistachio bread was soft and flavorful, and the sliders made for a satisfying breakfast. Yes, you'll probably have to wait, but in my opinion, it's worth experiencing at least once. If you're a matcha lover, this place definitely deserves a spot on your list.

I am always on the search for breakfast burritos. Their breakfast burrito made it on my top 3. I have not tried their other food items, but I will be back to try them. I have not heard one bad thing about their food. If you are thinking about getting a breakfast burrito, please go with the Dialog breakfast burrito. The egg is so fluffy, the sausage is thick and tasty, and the spicy ketchup gives it a kick of heat. You can also help yourself to an unlimited amount of aji verde and chiptotle aioli sauce! I really enjoyed both options on the burrito. Their beverages all look delicious. My friend tried the Wake N Date and described it to be a perfect balance of sweetness. It was filling but did not leave her bloated after. The protein also did not have a weird aftertaste like others may have. I had the triple cin latte and I could not get over how delicious and creamy this was. Parking can be tricky because it's West Hollywood (metered parking). They have indoor and outdoor seating - pet friendly. I will be back soon!!

When I tried to take a sip, the lid shifted and the hot tea spilled onto my leg, burning my lip and causing a significant burn on my leg. Over the next several days, the burn blistered and the skin peeled. I contacted the café privately and sent photos because I wanted to give them an opportunity to respond before posting publicly. Unfortunately, I never received a reply. I'm sharing this so others can be aware. Hot beverages should be served safely, lids should be secure, and customers should be warned when a drink is hot enough to cause burns. I hope the café takes this seriously and improves its safety practices.

This point is key as this neighborhood can be tricky to park in during peak business hours even though there are several metered spots available in front of the shop and on surrounding streets. I recently visited on a Friday morning and found nearby parking within walking distance, and you could also park at the nearby library and walk if the cafe if circling around for a spot is getting you nowhere. Now, on to the cafe itself! Verve offers a variety of drinks along with pastries for sale, and they even hosted a cookbook popup during my recent visit. I usually get espresso-based drinks or their cold brew, and I've never been disappointed by the drink quality or the time it takes to prepare my beverages. There's ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and I could see why this would be a popular spot for reading or getting work on your laptop done.

    Incredible Matcha in all of USA. Heard a lot of hype about community goods on social media, but…read morehonestly wasn't expecting much. However, for once the rumors were true. This place makes the best Matcha latte! Tried the regular Matcha with almond milk, which was spectacular. The Matcha Einspanner with sweet cream was also phenomenal. The sweet cream has a slight corn flavor to it, which is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend both for all matcha lovers. Depending on how much sweetness you prefer. Also,m for light bites, the pistachio toast was absolutely splendid. Also tried their famous breakfast sliders were just mediocre in my opinion. Personally, I do not like the Hawaiian rolls due to a slight sweetness in their bun which may have been reason for my lower rating when it comes to this order.

Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!
