    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.

In the non-matcha realm, the Madagascar Vanilla Latte is one of their most popular drinks so I had to try that. Also the Jacobsen's Salted Caramel was a seasonal special that sounded delish. I loved them both! The drinks are great, the staff is excellent, the parking is metered on the street so can be difficult. But whenever I can find a spot, I pop in!

The service is always excellent, and the drinks are outstanding.

Their matcha is also fantastic: smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Between the beautiful atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and friendly service, it's easy to see why this place has become a favorite of mine. I highly recommend it and will definitely keep coming back!

Sure they have only a gazillion awards, from best coffee shops to competition rankings, but it's their ability to curate and rotate excellent coffee beans from around the world that remains unmatched. The baristas are knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to guide you, if you so choose. Their coffee is priced reasonably, esp. beans, and the space is inviting. The minimalist decor, bathroom art ('butt' of course, insider joke when you partake in the porcelain palace) and quick turnaround is a recommended template for other coffee shops. What I love is their consistency. They follow a recipe that is dialed in to the nuances of the particular coffee beans and it tastes great every single time. My go-to is their pour over coffee. While the kid swears by their hot chocolate. Even their cappuccino (with non dairy milk) is next level. The food (made to order fresh, sandwiches) and pastries are excellent. The staff are kind enough to share their personal stash of hot sauce. Tip: Kid friendly, with a dedicated enclosed space for toys, books and kids to hang out, while parents get their caffeine buzz. Tip: Plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood, especially. on weekends. If you are looking for insanely good coffee in LA, head over to Melrose for a pilgrimage that you will not regret. Tip: Walk later to Oui Melrose for Tony's Khachapuri that is in a masterclass of its own.

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.
