Eightfold Coffee — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Saw this place working nearby figured I'd try it based on all the good reviews. Sadly my experience does not match everyone else's.

I wanted to get a little treat so stopped by on my way home, batista was very blase but I don't care as much about attitude if they can do a good job. I asked if they can do a flat white to which the person said yes, I asked for soymilk and they said they have non-fat and whole... Then 6 seconds of silence later as I contemplated my options due to being lactose-intolerant they said they have oat and almond. I asked for oat with some lavender. I got something that didn't taste like it had oatmilk in either flavor or consistency, part of me thinks they used non-fat regular milk anyway, as the drink itself was very watery, and they must have gone to the Lacroix flavor school for how much lavender they put in.

Didn't even finish it, cause now I'm worried it'll give me stomach issues.

And I get that flat white isn't on the menu, but if I ask and get told yes, I'm going to expect it to be decent unless they say they're not sure and they'll try or something to that extent.

The coffee itself outside of whatever milk they ended up using and the barely there lavender flavor seemed pretty decent, shame everything around it...

VERY LOW VIBES

I don’t leave bad reviews especially when a business has quality products!

If you’ve seen my other post I’ve been on a quest to find the best coffee and the vibes at most spots are amazing I didn’t feel welcome at this spot! They seem tailored more towards the artistic types because the vibes went up every time a regular came in!

On to the coffee! The coffee was great! I loved the coffee great flavor! I even tried the one with the orange peel inside kind of different but in a great way! I would highly recommend trying this place based on the coffee alone!

Parking seems to be...

I love this place. Enough that I'm hesitant to tell people about it because I like being about to get a place to sit, and I don't want it to blow up and be overrun, but also I love them and want them to do well and get good business so here we are. Great coffee, fantastic pastries. Easy location, nice atmosphere. Inexplicably a hub for attractive people of all natures?!?! Lots of dogs. Blue on blue monochrome. Treats to eat. Indoor seating. Outdoor seating. All the things.

Update: Still great 👍🏻

2nd update: Still great with new decor that feels like a Danish Preschool in the best...
