  “I came here on 5/14/26 for a meeting with a client. Had it not been for that meeting, I probably never would’ve visited this location — and after this experience, I likely won’t return. For context: I’m a social media strategist, event planner, photographer, and videographer. My client specifically chose this spot because she loved the atmosphere. Pros: * Parking available * Nice overall atmosphere * They make their own house syrups * Free WiFi Cons: * No greeting when entering * The space is small, so when staff ignores you, it becomes awkward immediately * I came around 10 AM and there was an older Black man working who was extremely unapproachable * He didn’t explain anything, acknowledge customers, or provide any sort of welcoming energy I even said out loud that I was going to put my stuff down first and come back to order. When I came back to purchase, he STILL didn’t speak. At that point, I walked away. I live in Koreatown — literally coffee mecca territory. I’m not wasting money somewhere that acts bothered by customers. I used their free WiFi for an hour and didn’t buy a single thing because the service completely turned me off. What stood out most was how disconnected the staff seemed from the customers. In the entire hour I was there: * Nobody checked on customers * Nobody worked the room * Nobody asked how food or drinks were * Staff seemed more focused on their regulars than creating a welcoming environment And that’s fine — but in LA, there are WAY too many coffee shops to spend money at one with poor customer service. Honestly, this is why chains like Starbucks stay lucrative. consistency and customer interaction. For the prices, the service should absolutely be better: * They charge for water * They charge for extra syrups * They charge for milk substitutions *They charge for every single add on, you could walk out with a $10 drink, easily. (Go to starbucks at that point) * Drinks average around $8 * Food looked lackluster My suggestion: customer service training. If customers are paying $8+ per drink — plus expected tips — staff should at minimum acknowledge people, speak, and check in occasionally. There were at least 8 people sitting outside for over an hour with zero staff interaction. Overall: not worth the commute or the money. I can’t even comment on the food or coffee because the attitude alone made me not want to order. wifi is fast so thats a plus. I would've offered to film, professional grade content, if literally anyone would have said "hello".”

  “WOW WOW WOW. We were in the area and looking for a quality coffee place. Upon stopping in we were greeted with three wonderful baristas (didn’t catch their names, but the were sooooo sweet to my orange tabby who I was taking for a walk) I’m a coffee snob and it takes a lot for me to love a cafe, but this place hits. You can tell they are using high quality roasts. And at the price point? Unbeatable. This hidden gem deserves your hard earned coin. Also try their humongous cheddar croissant. I wish I took pictures, but easily one of the Top 5 croissants in LA.”

  “Stopped here for a quick drink and pastry and enjoyed the relaxing outdoor seating and friendly staff. I got an iced chai tea latte which was amazing - I’m usually pretty picky about chai tea lattes but this was the perfect balance of milk, tea and sweetness. Also ate a delicious brown sugar homemade pop tart. Would definitely recommend!”

  “Atmosphere is lit. Service is cold and judgmental. And I said I didn't want my croissant warmed up but it was handed to me hot. Soooo..... if you find yourself in this pocket of town it's good in a pinch but not a destination like cafecito organico or even your run of the mill Blue Bottle.”

  “Never ever have I had such a wonderful coffee drinking experience. Here I was, lost and alone, not a drop of coffee in sight. And then I saw it: House Coffee Co., like an oasis in a desert of mediocre lattes. I walked in, greeted by the most beautiful barista goddess. I looked into her mesmerizing green eyes, and within those emerald pools I saw the perfect cortado, and just like that, there it was. Wow. Rich flavors. Excellent vibes. The frequency of everything in this establishment healed my being. I will think about this place and this barista for the rest of my life.”

  “Amanda was very friendly in showing me the ropes for my first visit. I was passing through for work and luckily find this gem conveniently located on my way downtown. The milk varieties were mind boggling! I loved the maple walnut variation without any added sweetners for my latté. Can’t wait to return for more. Looks like a great place to post up and work if you can find a parking spot, which they had a few for customers.”

  “It feels like the cafe name perfectly represents the ambiance. The petite shop does feel super homey that it gives the vibe of having coffee at your friend's living room. One simple long communal table at the center complemented with plugs for the guests to use. I really love how the background music is slow and chill - not being too loud, and all the guests also mostly focus on their own thing, making it perfect 'quiet' space regardless you're working or just seeking some peaceful space to relax. Being a first timer doesn't make me feel alienated as the barista's super welcoming. Asking for her reco, I end up with their house signature's Maple Walnut Latte. Interestingly the Maple Walnut was actually the dairy-free milk and the default sweetener is house-made brown sugar cinnamon syrup. She does call out that they make all their syrups in house so I'm pretty impressed by how many selections they carry. They do have a handful of non-coffee options if coffee isn't your cup of tea. I see plenty of guests go for their Strawberry Matcha, which indeed is their top one from non-coffee selections. I love my cup of joe, coming just at the right sweetness level, and the flavor's peculiar yet amiable. I request mine to be served extra hot, and it does come like a warm hug amidst the all-day-long pouring rain.”
