The weekday Slow Bar (8am-2pm) is a treat - skip the line, sit down for a few minutes and treat yourself to anything the weekly barista has planned!
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013What to Order: Classic cappuccinos are made using rich 5 percent milk.
If you like sweet ice coffee get the off the menu "Angeleno". 3 shots of espresso, milk, and simple syrup. So good.
Ronan McCoyApril 27, 2013Pretentious, hipstery (or just filled with hipster wannabees), pricey, slow internet. But awesome coffee and awesome space.
Still my favorite coffee place ever!! Try latte w/ soy milk 👌🏼😉
Iced or hot, they probably make the best chai late in the state.
jan krekanJanuary 17, 2015Great coffee. If you are going to order latte anyway, get out of the line!
yonerSeptember 30, 2018Come in through the rear alley entrance; there’s a lot less foot traffic that way.
Sebastian GroebnerFebruary 24, 2013Superb coffee. Great interior. Try the Curry Raisin Scones if you get the chance.
Just so you know, the soy mocha is great iced on a hot day as well. It's one of the most delicious things ever created by human hands.
- miriam zikraJanuary 9, 2017great coffee and matcha, but your baristas are super snobby. can't stand the attitude.
Scott BooneAugust 8, 2016Fantastic coffee but pretty cramped if you are looking for a place to camp out.
Elena IavaroneAugust 26, 2014This cafè is sooo cool! The coffee is nothing special but the place is amazing!
In a city of amazing coffee, Intelligentsia leads the way👌
Kristin Flip PolidoroJuly 6, 2012Followed the tips and the Angeleno is the best iced latte I've ever had.
If you're going to stick around anyway, skip the long line and head to the slow bar in the bar. It's open 10AM to 5PM daily. Fascinating to watch some of the preparations.
Charley ToddAugust 14, 2015Good coffee, cool vibes, try a specialty drink and check out the mugs for sale
Michelle OlenoskiJuly 8, 2013Grab a cushion and sit anywhere on the concrete steps. One of the smartest designs I have ever seen.
JoannaAugust 8, 2014The coffee is strong and the wifi is plentiful but make sure your laptop is fully charged bc there's no outlets 😓
the best coffee in los angeles. order the soy latte, even if you can have regular milk. love the dirty-thirties clothing the staff wears.
Eatosaurus RexDecember 21, 2014Does Intelligentsia coffee make me more intelligent or just more pretentious? No complaints either way.
Ian ThongSeptember 19, 2011Finally a real coffee...! Non of that half & half milk...! Has to be full cream milk all the way and not frothed boiling hot...!!!
Food & WineApril 21, 2011Low-key Intelligentsia is one of the most respected roasters in America and now has five cafes around the country.
Any place that place My Morning Jacket from start to finish is fine by me. All the coffee is excellent too.
Still surprised this hasn't spread like wildfire across LA. The coffee is so good.
Angelica CerdeiraMay 25, 2011Best coffee I had so far in CA. Maybe the best I had in my life. The place is also really cool!
E ZFebruary 21, 2014Listen to the rest of the reviews, it's worth the line wait and you want an Angeleno!
As always everything is better in ceramic... Slow down and enjoy your coffee and strike up a conversation with someone.
Jessica IpApril 22, 2013Finally some good coffee in LA. head here if you're a picky Aussie coffee drinker.
Cherith ZanghiMarch 5, 2017Every coffee is a pour over so it takes forever. Line is ridiculously long, but scared to run to the also ridiculously long restroom line for fear of losing my place
"It's like being at tha club, but instead of shots of patron, I'm having shots of espresso"
Anouk RayJuly 19, 2018The atmosphere is ok but there are not many tables which is not ideal for working on a laptop.
LaurennJanuary 6, 2014Long line, über pretentious, crowded, one unisex bathroom....but the hot chocolate and chai are worth it.
hannah parkDecember 28, 2011Lovely spot to sit and do work, unlike the one on Sunset. Sidenote: Witnessed Tobey Maguire today... and made me smile.
If youre a coffee extraordinaire :) - drip coffee selection are great!
