    This spot is great! I really loved their coffee/matcha and the tomato and cheese pastry was yummy too! The staff were nice and helpful. Inside there's decent amount of seats and tables. The only downside is the parking. The street gets full and you might have to go around the area to find street parking.

    Another day and another amazing coffee experience at Black Elephant. On this occasion I took the time to sit and sip in the coffee shop. Love the way they craft their drinks and the relaxed vibe of this place lends itself to a good respite on an otherwise hectic day. Today we were serenaded by a variety of light jazz courtesy of Mr Nat King Cole

    I've had this place bookmarked for a while! the coffee is good, and really smooth, but it's too watered down for my liking. I ordered the peanut butter latte and it also didn't taste much like peanut butter. I'm not sure if they just didn't put in enough syrup or what happened. The cost is also way too high for the amount of coffee/vs ice they give you in my opinion. They have a small size, comparable to a tall at Starbucks and it's still over $7 for the smallest size of coffee. I'm not sure what the regular sizing costs. I would go back to try more flavors, but it wouldn't be my go-to! The inside is also really cute! they have a nice waiting area. I also wish they had more table space outside to sit as well since there was no seating when we went.

    Chagaccino
    Stephanie B.

    Best chagaccino I've ever tried! Usually they don't taste like coffee to me at all but this one was strong & flavorful. Would definitely come back for another one or to try something else. Long lines but not a long wait at all & friendly service 10/10 recommend if you're in the area

    I was driving by and decided to stop by for coffee, while it was busy they were fast with getting orders ready. The ambiance was cozy and cute, and the latte i had was really tasty. Will for sure stop by again if I'm in the neighborhood again.

    This the Charcoal Rose Latte

    Black Elephant Café has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Atwater. The vibe is cozy, creative, and just the right amount of quirky. The matcha lavender latte is the star of the show. It's beautifully balanced: earthy matcha, a gentle floral note from the lavender, and just enough sweetness to tie everything together. It's the kind of drink you think about later in the day and wish you had another. And then there's the chocolate cake . The small ugly one that comes in a mini loaf, it was rich, moist, and deeply chocolatey without being overly heavy. It pairs perfectly with their drinks and feels like a little reward every time you order it.

    The coffee was so good. I wish that they had larger sizes. If you're looking for a good cup of coffee, this is the place to go.

    Mexican Mocha Coffee

    Try the Mexican Mocha coffee! One of our favorite coffee is from this coffee shop. We happened upon this cafe while we were just taking a walk and browsing the stores. The barista recommended the Mexican Mocha coffee and we were hooked. It has a deep rich mocha taste without being overly sweet. The mocha also doesn't overpower the taste of the expresso so both really come through in this drink. You can usually find seating and there is a bathroom for customers. Service is pretty quick and pleasant. Street parking available. Usually park and explore some of the cute stores near by.

    This place has the worst customer service! I came in on Sunday morning with my partner. I ordered an iced matcha latte, and my partner got a hot mocha latte. When we placed our order, the cashier seemed like she had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. She asked what I wanted, and when I said "matcha," she responded with an attitude: "Okay? So what do you want in it?! What kind of milk? Do you want it sweetened or what?!" Her tone was unnecessary. Their menu clearly lists an iced matcha latte, so I was simply reading what they offer. She could have asked me nicely. My partner had the same experience when he ordered his mocha. If we're ordering items directly from the menu, they should be made as listed. I'm not the type of person who likes to modify drinks, but if I needed a specific type of milk, I would mention it. People go to coffee shops to relax, hang out with friends, or enjoy drinks they can't make at home. There's absolutely no need for such an attitude. The matcha drink was too sweet, and I could barely taste the matcha. The mocha latte was just okay--it tasted like regular hot cocoa. I will not be coming back to this café.

    I have passed by this coffee shop many times and never noticed it until today. I have been to their Burbank shop before but not here. The service was friendly and quick, beautiful interiors with plenty of tables and chairs, some outdoor seating. Great place to hang out with friends and grab some coffee I ordered the cold brew with easy milk and enjoyed it much. I will try other drinks next time I'm nearby. The only bad thing is the parking situation.

    Chai latte and poppyseed muffin
    Veronique B.

    Food is delicious! I had a poppy seed blueberry muffin that was just the right level of sweetness, with the perfect amount of blueberries. My friend tried the tomato basil tart and absolutely loved it. I went with a chai latte, but now I'm really eager to come back and try the white chocolate latte. The service was great, and the ambiance was lovely. It's located on a busy street, but there are so many cute little LA shops and restaurants nearby, making it a nice spot to visit.

    Elise B.

    They still have their valentine specials- I ordered the dark chocolate strawberry latte. That is a perfect combo in a drink! There was a small line, but it moved quickly & the staff were friendly. They have lots of indoor seating & outdoor seating. Great place to do work or meet up with friends! They're dog friendly too!

    Matcha Latte (Organic) UNSWEETENED
    Stella C.

    Went here on a trip with my friends, decent ceremonial grade matcha, offers default no sweetener which is appreciated. Their horchata coffee is great too. Beautiful ambiance and quick service! After the ice melts you can't taste the matcha, ask for lite ice

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

She especially mentioned Natalie Portman as one of the celebrities who loves their cakes. I definitely want to try that amazing cake again and buy one for myself someday. It was super delicious.

Personally, I like it when the baristas are good at their jobs and chatty, but let this be a warning to those looking for a quick pick me up. Plan to wait a little longer than a Starbucks after ordering. The part I don't like about this coffee bar is its design. It's intentionally uncomfortable. It's designed for people to have a quick coffee chat in hard chairs/benches and leave. The tables are very small, so there isn't much space for anything except your coffee and snack. You can tell that the people who designed this cafe don't want customers to stay long.
