Great coffee. Most of the time the staff is generally upbeat and friendly. Drinks are made rapidly and delicious. I have also tried their teas which I'm slightly less impressed with. The shop itself is very cute, with outdoor seating. However if I'm paying $6 for my latte I would have liked the employee to have lost the attitude. I was picking up coffee for the office, my boss doesn't like foam so I asked if they could make it foam free, they said yes. Then they make it as usual I ask them to fix it the tall possibly Hispanic guy gets an attitude saying they cant fix it so I asked for milk on the side and fixed it myself. Knowing they have a standard I would if they'd told me that before I paid. What upset me the most was the attitude and unwillingness to try to fix it. I have 9 years of barista experience and it took me all of 15 seconds to remove the foam and top it off with milk.

Read moreThis place takes itself way too seriously. The coffee is tasty, but it's bordering on ridiculous the way they're trying to come off like an extremely expensive museum gift shop. I went there with my wife so she could try it. She got some fancy latte and I just asked for a cup of coffee, assuming that was an option. The graduate level dissertation I then began to receive about drip coffee and how long it takes and the process, etc etc etc was really just ridiculous. I ended up just sitting w/my wife while she had her latte.
My other problem is the seating. Nothing available inside and they have a few scattered outside on the sidewalk on Sunset Blvd. It feels like you're sitting on a busy road because that's exactly what you're doing. They've put a few planters and umbrellas out but it still feels pretty unpleasant.
overall I agree that the palisades loves new coffee shops but I'm more interested in Estate coffee on Via De La Paz or, dare I say it,...
Read moreThis is a really nice café right on Sunset Boulevard! We just recently stopped in for the first time and were very happy with everything. The inside was very nice and clean, service was great, and drinks tasted really good! We got an iced green tea and an iced caffé nico - espresso, candied orange, half & half, and cinnamon. The tea was pretty good, but the coffee really was the star of the show. I always like unique coffee drinks and the orange with cinnamon definitely satisfied! We were in and out nice and quickly, though this would be a great place to sit for a while and hang out with your friends. There is complimentary parking in a lot right outside, and overall no complaints! We will definitely return next time we’re...
