Coffee Commissary is a great stop, especially if you are out on a ride. It is bike-friendly, easy to get to, and has a welcoming feel. The staff was friendly, and the cappuccino was solid. Well made, balanced, and definitely worth ordering. The morning bun was just okay. It was crispier than expected and reminded me more of a funnel cake than a soft, doughy pastry. Overall, a good coffee spot with friendly service and a cappuccino I would come back for. read more

If you're trying to focus and have a study/work session try somewhere else. I've visited this spot a few times and don't have many great things to say! The energy in this cafe feels charged like a high school cafeteria, the staff set such a weird uninviting vibe and makes you feel like you're interrupting them when trying to place an order. During my most recent visit I came on a weekday afternoon to get some work done and I sat at the bar. The atmosphere would've been chill because most people were there to do the same .. except the employees were almost yelling to each other telling stories and gossiping about previous customers. It was super distracting and uncomfortable. The drinks are unmemorable and the pastries sit out behind the counter, I saw flies land on them. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend! read more

Coffee Commissary is your cute typical neighborhood cafe. The vibe is stylish yet relaxed with plenty of seating inside and outside. They have brunch food, pastry options and coffee. I really enjoyed the coffee here. It's smooth, well-made, and it's obvious that a great deal of care goes into both their sourcing. That said, I'm not a fan of the brunch options, the tater tots were very good but the brisket burrito didn't hit it for me. It salsa they used felt to acidic and ruined the burrito. I'll surely be back for drip coffee and lattes though! read more

The coffee shop doesn't have half and half. I saw they had heavy cream. I asked for some of that. They said that they couldn't offer that because it was for a specific recipe only. The coffee just tasted stale and old. What kind of coffee shop does not have a cream option. I've been to vegan coffee shops that don't have cream options but their coffee was amazing black. McDonald's has better coffee than this. I ordered a biscuit also. It was warmed but not warm? I would not recommend coming here. There are better places close by. Little Ground is open during the week and has great coffee. Basecamp is a couple miles away and has better options and ambiance. read more

I had a double shot iced espresso topped with vanilla foam. The coffee tasted sour. Would not come back.

The grilled cheese sandwich is amazing--it plays like a brilliant American diner take on a Japanese egg sando. The egg is incredibly fluffy, making for a truly delicious dish. The chocolate chip cookie is another personal favorite, and I quite enjoy their cubano coffee as well. To top it off, the space is modern and parking is decently easy. read more

Visited: 1/27/26 Parking: This place has no designated parking lot, and street parking is pretty limited, so keep that in mind before you go. I ended up parking a few blocks away and walking about four minutes to get there. Atmosphere: They offer seasonal menu items each month, which is a fun touch and gives you something new to try if you visit often. The shop itself is very popular and gets crowded, so expect some noise and possibly a short wait for your order, although the line moved fairly quickly when I went. They do have Wi-Fi, so it can still work as a study spot. One thing to note is that the music inside is very loud. I couldn't hear my name being called when my drink was ready, so I didn't pick it up in time. Either it was tossed or someone else grabbed it, but the staff kindly made me a new matcha latte, which I really appreciated. If you plan to study or need a quieter environment, you will probably want noise-canceling headphones. The booth I sat at had an outlet, but it did not work at all. It might have just been that specific one, but it is something to keep in mind if you need to charge your devices. Utensils: There is a self-serve utensil station with metal spoons and forks as well as plastic ones. They also have cup lids, straws, napkins, and a designated bin for used utensils, which was very convenient and well organized. Order: Smoked Salmon Toast ($15): 8.5/10 It came with a generous amount of toppings, so even though the price is on the higher side, it felt slightly worth it because of how loaded it was. Matcha Latte ($7): 8/10 It was really good and exactly what I needed for my study session. The latte art on top was also a nice touch! You can get it iced or hot, but I ordered it hot. That probably enhanced the flavor, so I would need to try the iced version to really judge the quality of the matcha. Bathroom: The bathroom requires a code, so you just have to ask the staff. It was a bit dirty when I went, but it was close to closing time, so that might have been part of the reason. The shop also had a slight bathroom smell at that time. read more

Cozy and busy coffee spot, particularly on a Sunday. Their breakfast burrito really hits the spot and they make a really nice latte. read more

Been a patron since opening and this spot has remained a great neighborhood staple! Have to commend Jonathan for being a renaissance man of this cafe... delicious and beautiful latte work, making sure the patio and interior keeps polished and clean, and even keeping the vibe upbeat and welcoming. It so refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work and service. Yummy single sourced coffee and delicious creative lattes just a walk away from home. Food is served warm and beautiful presented for a nice morning or afternoon bite. Pastries are always an exciting treat for the kiddos too. read more

In a very crowded area, but there is free street parking. Ambince was chill as it was around 6pm and the music wasn't too loud. It is a work friendly cafe so there is a charging station in every other table I believe. The staff were very friendly! I got the matcha latte that had a fishy taste... it seemed like low-quality as it didn't taste well. Though the sweetness was just right. I got the brisket burrito thinking it was going to be a burrito- it wasn't. It was a bowl of veggies and couldn't find the brisket.. My friend got the vanilla latte and the fried chicken sandwich which he thought were both alright. Throughout my 3 hour stay, it smelled like pee time to time. I'm really bummed as I have been looking forward to visit this cafe, but did not have a good experience. read more

One of the worst coffees Iv had .. watered down and doesn't taste like anything close to a cup of coffee for $4.50 on top of that while waiting for my drink one of the baristas was sitting on the countertop in front of all the customers! Never going back read more

I recently visited Commissary Coffee and overall it was just okay. The shop itself has a nice atmosphere and a good location, but the coffee was a bit watery and didn't have the strong flavor I was expecting. For the price, I honestly expected better quality. The experience at the counter also felt a little off since the cashier didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. Service wasn't terrible, just not very warm. On the positive side, the place is clean and has a nice vibe to sit and relax for a while. It's not a bad café, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

So much charm and flavor at this cafe! Hidden in Kenneth village, this was such a great find! A few things that set them apart, is how fresh everything seemed. I mean, the whole place smelled like the fresh churro buns! They called everyone by name- they remember all their customers! It has a homey feel, yet very spacious (great for studying or work) and decorated beautifully. I ordered the veggie burrito and the churro buns and both were delicious! Coffee was fresh and I believe brewed in house. I'll def be back next time I'm in the area! read more

This place was crowded and we had to wait in line for about 15 minutes. The employees seemed to have a nice system in place to knock out the orders. My friend and I ordered the Mocha Latte, I had mine iced and my friend got it hot. They served the drinks fairly quick. I would say the consensus is that the latte wasn't anything spectacular for the price and the mocha they used was cheap chocolate. We wouldn't come back unless we are in the area and even then, there probably are better options to try out. read more

Pretty good coffee, yummy food/pastries, and really great servers. The vibes in there are good. I think if you're stopping just for a coffee fix it's not necessarily "top tier" choice, but if you're going to sit with friends or to work or study it's an awesome spot. read more

Coffee commissary is what you would imagine a coffee shop in LA to be. The Glendale location is in an old town area of small shops. The shop is really hip, with very fashionable people. One thing I like about this place is ample seating both outside and inside. It is a cool place to get some work done or get something to eat & drink coffee. I mainly came here to try the breakfast burritos and get my coffee fix. One cool thing is you can get breakfast in the pm. I got the brisket burrito, I would say about 4.5 stars. I liked the rub of the brisket that gives it flavor, you could go without salsa if you really wanted to. The tortilla chips that come with it are delicious and fresh. This place breaks the mold as far as coffee shops having good food. Few coffee shops can pull it, but Coffee Commissary does. Now for the coffee how good is it? I would say not top tier best of LA good, but good. I had a Cubano cinnamon latte, which was good. My wife had a Vanilla latte which, taste more like a sweet latte. Overall I think it's a four to five star place depending upon how picky you are when it comes to coffee. The food, seating and ambiance and pretty good coffee makes coffee commissary a great place to visit. read more

I ordered an iced Matcha latte, and usually it's good and vibrant green but this last time I ordered the matcha looked like a chai. I even asked them what it was bc the color was so off but it looks like they were using matcha that was old and oxidized so it was no longer the green color it naturally is but instead a dull creamish color. I didn't let myself judge it on the color but once I tasted it, it was so gross. I couldn't drink it and ended up throwing it away. Only giving it 3 stars because I've had their matcha before multiple times, otherwise I would've given it a 1 star. Hoping it was just a fluke but I would recommend being wary of the matcha since it looks like they use old or expired matcha powder read more

My boyfriend stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop one morning and was so excited to take me. Parking gets a little dense depending on what time you go-- weekend morning's... good luck! We typically park across the street in the parking lot next to the bakery. There's typically a line out the door (expected because this place has amazing coffee and breakfast items!) the line moves fairly quickly and the wait for your order will take from 5-15 minutes depending on how busy it is. This cute hipster coffee shop has seating areas but be prepared to possibly sit outdoors. It can get crowded! That's the only downfall about this place. Even on busy weekend mornings the wait is worth it!! I usually get an iced American, amazing flavor without tasting watered down. My boyfriend always gets the Chai Latte, it has the perfect amount of spiced flavor. On the weekends before 3pm they serve the best Brisket Hash, me and my boyfriend share the bowl! The potatoes are so crispy-- never soggy. The brisket is seasoned well, eggs are still runny, the hollandaise sauce is my favorite. It adds such a nice contrast to the food. read more

Friend recommended this place to me for a good matcha & study place. Both times I came here, minimal seats were available inside--shows how popular this place is! The cafe plays pretty loud music so if you're looking for a quieter cafe, this isn't for you. Otherwise, bring your headphones or enjoy the background music and chatter. Outside seating is available and honestly a nice, breezy option for when it's not too hot. Their matcha isn't my favorite, but it's good enough. (+) street parking available, not hard to find (+) has large food & drink menu (+) wifi & sockets available (+) open later than most cafes ( ) can get full & loud during peak hours ( ) matcha wasn't quite flavorful/rich ( ) brisket burrito was yummy, but very $$$ read more

I visit this coffee shop regularly. My go-to order is the Austin Tacos--they have just the right amount of kick and are super flavorful. I always make them gluten-free by subbing in corn tortillas, and even though it's just two tacos, the side of chips and salsa makes it a surprisingly filling meal. That said, not everything hits the mark. I'd personally skip the salmon toast--it didn't wow me--and the golden milk latte wasn't my favorite either. The rest of the drinks I've tried have been solid, and I like their coffee beans enough to sometimes grab a bag to take home. Most of my favorite coffee shops lean into festive, rotating drinks--especially around the holidays. Aside from a solid pumpkin spice latte last fall, I haven't seen much in terms of limited-time or creative flavors. Occasionally they offer something new, but it's often a tea or something that just doesn't sound that exciting. There's indoor and outdoor seating, Wi-Fi, and plenty of outlets--so it's a decent place to work if you can grab a spot. It can get busy though, and seating fills up fast. It's street parking, so that can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. One small note: sometimes the music can be a little too loud to fully focus if you're trying to work or take a call. All in all, this is a reliable neighborhood café with a few standout menu items and a cozy atmosphere, though I do wish they'd shake things up with more seasonal drinks. read more

Rude staff, the owner is so cheap that they never turn on the AC no matter how hot it is inside. Even if it's 100 degrees they still don't turn it on. They are no seat covers and paper towels in the bathrooms. They are being cheap in every possible way they can. That's not how you run a business. Super pricy food and drinks. Not going back and not recommending it read more

Great spot. Parking can be a problem. A neighborhood staple. Plenty of seating or a nice stroll for a few blocks

Cool vibes, yummy food, free WiFi/water, and plugs to work and charge your laptop/phone. Everyone is friendly and the service is cool. I always get the cubano hot and the brisket burrito. Never disappoints. read more

Very popular neighborhood place. Outdoor seating is nice and highly prized. Lots of people bring dogs and on the weekends, the place will be packed indoor and out with sports teams and groups of friends and neighbors. A real locals joint. Parking can be tough. Cookies for the table are a must. read more

I ordered the avocado toast. The bread was nicely toasted. It had the crunch on the outside and it was soft inside. The toast itself tasted earthy and healthy. It had arugula on top of the avocado. By not adding salt and pepper, it tasted delicious when you are controlling your salt intake for high blood pressure. The service was warm and friendly. They made sure that my order was correct. The ambiance is very Metro and clean. It has street parking for 2hours on the weekend. Make sure your cars have both plates on especially on your tesla. You will be ticketed if you don't. I ordered a decaf americano and it didn't taste burnt, which I like!!! read more

I come here a lot, and have since they opened in Kenneth Village. Today I experienced so much rudeness from several employees. The attitude was that they don't care about the customer and you should just deal with their bad mood. The one is who especially rude was a man at the payment counter who had curly black hair, glasses, and a black t-shirt. If a manager is reading this, please have a talk with him and other employees about how they treat the customers. Also the drink I got was very watery and tasted horrible , and after paying for it I didn't end up drinking it. read more

I have been coming here for a while. Usually will pick up coffee once or twice during the week and on Sundays come in for coffee and a burrito! SERVICE - 3 STARS This is me being generous. I do have to give it to say the people working the counter have gotten nicer but it was pretty bad about a year ago. This place gets pretty busy on the weekends so service can be kind of slow. LOCATION - 4 STARS Parking can be tricky especially on the weekends. The lots are pretty small and Kenneth street parking fills up pretty quickly because of all the other businesses. However, there is so much parking on the residential streets. The inside has plenty of tables and counter space for you to work out of, eat your meal and and hang out. There are also tables outside. FOOD & DRINKS - 4 STARS Iced Latte - 5 STARS The taste and consistency is what keeps me coming back. Plain and simple Brisket Burrito - 5 STARS In my opinión this is the best thing on the menu. You must try it. Full over flavor and well portioned. Meat, egg and pico de gallo - we get a side of their habanero salsa to enjoy with this burrito Angeleno Burrito - 4 STARS The cheese on the outside of the tortilla is game changer. The burrito itself is good but it a typical breakfast burrito. It was good I tried it but I don't think I'll order it again. Cinnamon French Toast - 4 STARS Pretty good but was over them pretty quickly. Felt kinda dry. This plate is good to share with the table. Smoked Salmon Toast - 3 STARS This is something I wanted to really like but I felt like there was too much going on and had a hard time eating it. I think I'm hooked on the brisket burrito and their coffee. As long as they keep this on the menu I will be here! read more

I wasn't overly impressed with this place for how busy it always is. The service was good but the menu had fairly limited options and was a bit pricey for a coffee shop. I found the seating to be a bit crammed and overall ambience to be a bit chaotic for my liking. Lastly I wasn't overly impressed with the chai tea that I got, it was good but did feel small for the price. read more

Kenneth village is a cute spot with a few places to eat mixed in with hair salons and fitness studios. Parking can be mixed as there are a lot of people that like to come enjoy this area. There are a few things to note about the Commissary. 1. You are practically an employee while there. They punch your order into the IPad and flip it for you to make payment, add tip, sign, and specify receipt delivery method. 2. They try to call your name when your order is ready. But it's hit or miss. Recommend hanging around the pick up counter as they don't call out names very loudly. 3. After eating, you bus your own table into a yucky bin of dirty dishes and a really gross trash can. I should not have given a 20% tip since I did most of the work. Ordered black coffee, no price listed on menu board. Found there were plenty of grounds in the bottom of the cup. Taste was decent though. Not what I would call great coffee. Pastry items looked good, tried out a cheddar ranch biscuit but it would have been nice if they could have popped it into a hot oven for a minute to revive it. We had the weekend avocado Benedict and the veggie burrito. Both were cold since we never heard them call out our name and after 20 minutes went to the counter to check on things. They had a huge stack of boxes on the counter and we had to sort through them to find our order. read more

Food: holy mothers of the grail- GET THE BRISKET BURRITO. I have gotten it at least 6 times by this point and it NEVER disappoints (and I'm from the south so, that's saying something!) It's always so good. Coffee: I get a honey latte and the drinks here (as well as everything else other than the potatoes) seems to be super consistent. If you like it once, you'll like it again. So far I've only had a honey latte and the brisket burrito and I get that every time I come. It's worth it (trust the stranger telling you this) ATMOSPHERE: Sometimes it's a little tough to find seats because it's always busy. The staff is great. Give this one dude a raise! He's great! (The one in the pic) some outlets don't work (booo!) but it's okay. The only thing that seems to be a tad bit much is how loud the music is but if you have headphones it should be good. Sometimes the songs are a bop- other times they have cussing in them so, it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you have kids. But it's every now and then that I've heard songs like that. Over all, great place and best burrito in all of LA in my opinion. read more

Went in one afternoon and the place felt criminally understaffed. There was a line out the door and the person taking orders was also making coffee - no wonder there's a massive line. The glass the espresso came in was visibly dirty - like actually filthy from sitting on top of the espresso machine. The bussing area was overflowing with dirty dishes. They need more people working to keep the quality up. Overall the feel of this coffee shop is a bit overwhelming. Music is loud and it's messy and chaotic in there. I prefer a quaint place. It's lost a lot of the charm of its early days. read more

I was enjoying my walk in Kenneth village and I walked into the commissary because I've had their cookies before and they were really good. While in line I see a box of cookies and there were about 3 flies sitting on them and moving. I ask the lady who was at the register which was a young lady that there are flies on the cookies that customers will be eating and she said with the most attitude there is nothing I can do I don't control this universe and rolled her eyes at me and went to the next customer. She could've put a lid on it at least! I immediately walked out and will never return. STAY AWAY! read more

This is cute little neighborhood coffee shop! There is plenty of parking in the back and in the neighborhood. I came on a Thursday night and it was packed with people hanging out, chatting, studying/on their computers, etc. There is plenty of space inside and outside and it's quite spacious. A great little study environment. (But~ maybe not the best reading environment since there weren't any plushy chairs to cozy up on. hahah~ but that's just my personal quirk!) Overall, a cute little space with yummy drinks. A little on the pricey side, but I guess that's how all coffee places are nowadays. read more

This used to be my favorite place to study but every time I ask them to turn the music down they say they can't. They're always playing music on FULL BLAST, like can I know how anyone is supposed to get any work done? God Forbid you want to get an assignment done KANYE WEST or rock music is yelling in your ears. One time I tried recording a video to submit for an assignment and my professor gave me a zero because the music was so loud. The owners need to get a grip on these employees because they think they're DJs at a rave or something. read more
