Trophy Coffee — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

I am an alumni of TMU (back when it was TMC). I came in to meet with a friend in the area and ordered a pour over coffee and cheese danish. The barista was not nice to me at all. Clearly I have not ordered here in a while so I had questions about drink sizes and add-one. Basic questions. But she scoffed at me like I was supposed to know the answers.

I originally asked for a peanut butter latte since I had seen that on someone else’s review, however, that drink was no longer being offered. Bummer! The barista helped me decide on a drink and I went for the Merrygold Mocha. What a great choice!! I’ll...

Trophy Coffee is easily (by a mile) the only serious coffee space in the Santa Clarita Valley. A multi roaster, they offer a small but decent selection of roasters, but they focus their single origin offerings on adventurous roasts which is such a nice rare treat for this part of the county. In addition to their very good filtered coffee menu, their espresso menu is thoughtful and creative. It’s refreshing to see a cafe in the SCV treat craft coffee with this level of excellence and intentionality. Definitely worth the extra effort to get there, as it is tucked away in the masters...
