About Verve Coffee Roasters

A two-level space with huge windows and a woody interior houses Verve Coffee Roasters, a coffee shop on Mateo Street in the Arts District of Los Angeles. Espresso drinks, lattes, cold brew, drip and Americanos form the mainstay of a list that runs to 79 items, and the honey lavender draft gives regulars a sweeter, floral option alongside the standard lineup. A pastry case holds croissants, with biscuits and jam served here, and breakfast extends to a breakfast burrito and açaí bowls. Seating is plentiful, with tables at a height suited to working or studying and more room upstairs, though there are no power outlets in sight and the music often plays very loud. Dogs are welcome. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the doors open daily. Parking is tight, limited to a small lot reached by wrapping around after the bridge plus whatever the street offers.

Customer Review Summary

The recurring complaint is that there are no outlets. Loud music is also raised more than once as distracting, and a few mention tight, hard-to-find parking and a small lot reached by wrapping around after the bridge. One reviewer found a latte bitter, smoky, and very salty. Staff are called friendly and hard working, though one reviewer found them dismissive until asked more directly, and another says they struggled to keep up when busy. One reviewer notes a staffer could not answer questions about drinks, though the drink itself was great.

    “My favorite of all the verve locations in LA. Plenty of space to work with lots of natural light and good vibes. Food is really good and pretty consistent. I've always loved coming here for a cold-brew and breakfast burrito to-go. Also since switching pastry vendors - love the new croissants! Only bummer (minor) is that there are no outlets to plug in. Sometimes they also play music really loud which is distracting, but I get it's more of a vibe environment vs. coffee shop work culture. They have also hosted pop-up events in the past with local artists which I love. Staff are 100/10 the best! Very hard working, extremely friendly and helpful. Love them.”

    “Good vibe and good coffee. Many coffee shops make Americanos too watery but Verve makes it just right!”

    “Verve is one of my coffee roasters, but it’s based in Santa Cruz. I was super happy to find out that they expanded to LA, great move! As usual the coffee is excellent, perfect pour each time (I did come back several times for research). The …”

    “Love this bright Arts District cafe with great espresso and a lively buzz. The latte art was on point and the pastry case is tempting. Staff was friendly although it struggled to be efficient when it got busy, plenty of seating but it fills …”

    “I work in the area and have been coming to Verve Coffee for over a year now. The coffee is consistently excellent. I usually get the iced Americano, which is always smooth and perfectly balanced, and my wife loves their iced mocha. The pastries are also fantastic and pair perfectly with the coffee. Beyond the drinks and food, the vibe and environment really set this place apart. It is welcoming, comfortable, and a great spot to start the day or take a break. The service is always outstanding. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about the experience. I may be missing a name or two, but Anthony, Gabe, Abby, Ed, Matt, Jason, and Brian have all been consistently excellent. Thank you for being such a great part of the neighborhood. Cheers.”
