They opened earlier this year and have been such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The coffee is amazing, the shop is super cute and cozy, and I'm obsessed with the little details from the cup designs to the beautiful finishing touches on each drink. Service is always fast, which makes it even better. The Einspanner is my personal favorite so far, but honestly every drink I've tried has been great, and I fully plan on working my way through the entire menu over time. Highly recommend stopping by!

First new coffee shop of the year! We were in the area so I picked one that stood out to me per…read moreYelp recs and this was the one! We luckily found street parking up front, otherwise they have a small street nearby that you can probably park in as well. Only two people were ahead of us when we walked in but shortly after, the place filled up with the line almost out the door! There was only one worker but she made it work and she was fast! Cute decor and vibes inside. I wanted to try the pistachio bliss that everyone seemed to rave about but since their seasonal menu was out, I went for the toffee nut iced latte. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, cute cups though! Something about the drink I got was a little off putting. Idk if it was whatever spice they used but I was not crazy about it. I definitely want to come back and try the pistachio at some point though! Getting out of my parking spot was rough. Busy street but also some annoying guy parked in the red zone behind me, basically bumper to bumper and then another girl in front had A LOT of room in front of her and just didn't give me enough room. I luckily made it out but very annoying! Anyway, still looking forward to coming back to try their pistachio bliss! IG: @ammysalamii

Stopped by Reborn Coffee on a Sunday morning. First time at Reborn Coffee and we were just driving…read moreby and noticed it. The coffee shop is a good size with many tables available for seating inside. It has huge windows so it's nice that the natural light shines through. Really welcoming vibe and excellent customer service. During this visit we ordered the Coconut Mocha Latte and Honey Hojicha Latte. Both lattes were delicious and hot, freshly made and brewed just how I like them. The coconut and mocha were a perfect blend. It wasn't too sweet and the espresso balanced out the taste of the coconut and mocha. The Honey Hojicha is also on point as it's not too sweet. The honey didn't over power the taste of espresso. We can't wait to come back and try other coffee drinks on Reborn Coffee's menu.

Have you ever gone to a pastry shop such as William Greenberg's Desserts in NY, NY that has a…read moretime-honored tradition of using the same recipe for generations for their beloved chocolate cake or cheesecake? Well this place ISN'T Greenbergs! I enjoyed for weeks their raspberry muffins only to have their store pull it off their shelf saying I was the only customer who liked it. Next came their bacon burritos, which were delicious and popular. Then of course the store told me last week that they won't carry them anymore. A good way to lose a loyal custome, but here the preferences of the loyal customers apparently don't warrant that much consideration. As for the coffee, it is served in paper cups that quickly dissipate the heat so that by the time you finish a cup, it is ice cold. And they refuse to reheat it. No longer recommend.

I tried the mushroom coffee drink - they told me it tastes like a mocha but with way more antioxidants. And they were right! It tastes like a strong mocha, I needed the ice to melt a little bit to calm down the flavor, but that was just my personal preference. I was able to get a lot of work done and my friends came to visit at one point. It's smaller inside but there are probably 8-10 tables for customers. If I lived closer, I would definitely be here more often!

We got lucky lol! They have some nice seating and tables on the side of their building down that same residential street and they also have umbrellas for shade which is nice. Walked in and what a beautiful cafe! You immediately notice all the musical instruments which makes me think they have live music some times. Ordered at the counter and asked what their "RAF Latte" was and the guy mentioned it was for the customers who wanted them to be more on the sweeter side and less strong so I went for their Horchata latte. Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it. Still strong enough for my liking so I would definitely come back and get it again! IG: @ammysalamii

They have tables inside and outside as well and the outside tables have umbrellas which is great during the summer hot days. Menu is not that big or extensive but enough. They have coffee and matcha options. They offer pastries as well and even have a few breakfast options. Service is good, staff is friendly. I got a lavender matcha with almond milk. I don't specify sweetness levels and it turned out it was perfect. Lavender was not overpowering and once mixed it was perfect. My husband liked his mocha as well. We got a guava pastry but it tasted much like the ones from Portos so not sure if they buy it from there. But otherwise great coffee spot.

This place is the…read moreantithesis of Starbucks and every other extra-large-size-offering-full-of-sugar-and-colors type place. The reviews mention minimal flavor, sweetness, etc. Take a look at this place. It's minimalistic. Hence, it follows that the drinks are minimalistic. In other words you're not going to get a ton of chocolate, vanilla, sugar, etc. in your drinks. Yes: it's expensive. I paid nine dollars for an iced oat milk mocha. Ouch! However, I have a feeling that the employees are paid well, and all ingredients are of the highest quality. Again, this place is not Starbucks. If that's your cup of Joe, then stay away.

You could see some separation developing between the top layer of foam and the rest of the drink rather than everything staying completely integrated. Tightening up the microfoam and creating a silkier, more uniform texture would make the cortado feel more cohesive and refined. It was still an enjoyable drink and the coffee program definitely has potential. The space itself is very cool and well designed, and there's a lot of potential here, but I think the shop is missing one of the most important ingredients for a great coffee shop: a genuinely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Right now, the experience can feel a little cold and soulless, and I think a lot of that comes down to the service. Looking through other reviews, service seems to be a recurring complaint, and I think ownership should really take that feedback seriously. During my experience, it felt like the staff were more engaged with each other and with very specific customers they already knew, while interactions with everyone else felt noticeably colder. A great coffee shop isn't only about serving good coffee or having a beautiful space. The best shops create a sense of community where regulars and first-time customers both feel welcomed. You shouldn't have to already know someone behind the bar to feel like you're part of the atmosphere. That's what makes this somewhat frustrating, because How It's Going to End? has a lot going for it. The space is unique, the coffee is solid, and the concept has plenty of potential. With more attention toward hospitality, customer interaction, and building a genuine community atmosphere, I think this could become a very successful coffee shop. The coffee can always be refined, but creating an environment where people genuinely feel welcome is just as important.

Ok, this is a particularly sad one -- one that may even make it to become the #1 poster boy in my…read moreupcoming business lecture tour and book. Coffee. So many people define themselves as experts. Sadly, many of those same people will walk in and say things like, "Gosh, I'm tired, could you make me a double espresso?", clearly assuming that stronger taste automatically means more caffeine. My wife and I simply like a good coffee in the morning. Which leads to the obvious question: what do we define as "good coffee"? For us, it helps us get into the day, tastes pleasant, and does not leave a bitter note. We are absolutely not coffee experts and can discuss coffee, at best, at what we Germans would call "Thekenniveau" -- bar-counter level. I do understand, however, that it may make a difference whether beans were roasted weeks or even months ago somewhere remote, then shipped and stored, or whether they were roasted locally and recently. So we asked ChatGPT, and one of the recommendations was REGENT Coffee in our neighborhood. We went. Our directive was very clear: we explained that we knew little to nothing about coffee, which was precisely why we had come in and were looking for advice. The lady helping us started with: "Well, it all comes down to the settings of your coffee machine when you pour your espresso." I responded that we are not really espresso drinkers -- we drink Americano. She gave us "the look" and explained that an Americano is espresso with more water. The information: fair enough. The way it was communicated: not ideal if your goal is to win me as a customer. From there, the conversation did not really lead anywhere. We were asked questions such as whether we preferred nutty or fruity coffee. That may be a perfectly reasonable question for someone who already knows what those terms mean in practical taste terms. But we had just told her that we did not. That was the entire reason we were there. We were not looking to prove our coffee knowledge. We were looking for someone who had the expertise to guide us. In the end, we bought an Americano. It was served so hot that my wife burned her mouth in the car, and it took almost the entire 45-minute drive to Santa Monica before it had reached what we considered a comfortable drinking temperature. It cost $5. And we did not even particularly like it. Would I go again? No. Would I recommend REGENT based on this experience? No. What makes this particularly disappointing is that this was a tremendous lost opportunity to turn us into long-term customers. We like expert advice. We drive to Farmers Markets to buy fresh produce knowing full well that we may pay 200% more for something that is perhaps only 15% better. But we can taste the difference, and that makes it worthwhile to us. Coffee could have been exactly the same. If I specialized in coffee, I would make it incredibly easy for people like us to enter that world. I would offer tastings. I would explain, in simple language, what "nutty", "fruity", "chocolatey", "bright", "smooth" or "low acidity" actually mean in the cup. I might offer a short class on how to set up a home coffee machine properly. Maybe even machine-specific sessions. Maybe in the shop. Maybe at the customer's home. Because there are customers walking through the door saying, quite literally: "We know very little. We want advice. We are willing to spend money." And even better from a business perspective: Not just money once. Continuous money. Imagine if the conversation had instead started with: "I totally understand where you are coming from. Coffee can become unnecessarily complicated very quickly. Since you mostly drink Americano and want something smooth rather than bitter, let me give you two small tastes so you can understand the difference. Then I'll recommend one bean to start with." We would almost certainly have bought a bag. Possibly two. And if we had liked them, we might have bought beans there for years. Instead, they sold us one tiny cup for $5 over the counter, while the payment screen suggested an 18-25% tip. And two potentially very loyal customers walked out frustrated. That, to me, is the real business lesson here. It is not about whether REGENT makes good or bad coffee. Taste is subjective. It is about recognizing the customer who is standing right in front of you. Especially when that customer is effectively saying: "Please teach me how to spend more money with you." And then making sure you do not send them home without doing exactly that. Small caffeine footnote: espresso is more concentrated in caffeine per ounce, but a normal serving of drip coffee usually contains more total caffeine than a single espresso because the serving is much larger. Stronger taste does not automatically mean more caffeine.
