This was my 2nd attempt coming to this coffee shop. I love coffee. I drink it continuously - probably more than I should. I admit that I got spoiled living in Seattle, indulging in the best coffee ever (no, not Starbucks) but I can be forgiving as my travels offer up inconsistency. I've lived in Glendale for many years and heard so many wonderful reviews about this place, so I was super excited to try it. I got a mocha and my partner got a drip coffee. The mocha tasted watered down and with muted flavor, this was not the problem - it was the drip coffee that failed. It was hands down the worst drip coffee we've ever had in our life - this is measuring up against traveling all over the country and Europe. It tasted sour, as if it had been sitting for days. We thought that we had maybe received an "off" day. We returned to try it again only to find the same result. Sour, rancid, acidic, old tasting - the way coffee tastes when it's been in the coffee pot all day. The problem is that I've had coffee that has sat for a while and it never tasted as rancid as this. We were super disappointed. I don't understand how anyone could call this coffee "amazing". I will say that the atmosphere has a typical cafe ambiance and customer service was pleasant but not pleasant enough to return. read more

This place was a go to study place, however the over priced and poorly made coffee ruined it. The staff is pretty rude when ordering, they have a slight attitude and and very condescending vibe. Unfortunately their oat milk was old upon drinking it, and by the time I noticed that the milk was tasting funky I had already driven off. I asked for a double shot and there was absolutely no coffee in my drink what so ever, all I tasted was the old milk and vanilla syrup overload. The parking is also highly terrible, it's a very nice place from the outside but not so great service or coffee! I'm extremely disappointed. read more

Best coffee spot in Glendale hands down! I had bookmarked Coffee Commissary forever and today I finally decided to give it a shot. I must say this place doesn't disappoint :) They put cute art on coffees which is always a plus!! Prices are a little towards high end ($6.75 for one latte.) Parking is a little difficult to find since it's located in the heart of Kenneth Village but at least street parking is free! Complimentary wifi with no password required to join :) Can't wait to come back and try their avocado toast! read more

The online order system has become such a hassle in ordering from here for over a year now, and whatever change they've made in their POS and CRM has just made it a nightmare to order. Moving on. Also, prices just keep rising here, but quality? Falling. read more

Good coffee with solid food and pastry options. But I was quite turned off by the utter lack of enforcement on Covid policies. The three people who ordered ahead of me were standing around by the bar unmasked. The five people who ordered after me all came in, maskless, ordered, then stood around. Not one was asked to put on a mask. I get Covid policies are no fun. But the complete disregard for the signage posted by their front door saying masks are required regardless of vaccination status, was unsettling. (I also get that indoor dining gets complicated for a coffee shop where everyone is there studying for much longer than it takes to consume a single coffee. Of the 20 or so people seated indoors, not one was wearing a mask, though many were far from anything reasonably considered dining or drinking.) Please take the health of your customers more seriously. Some of us have really vulnerable family members at home. read more

I would have to give the coffee 4 stars and the workers 2 on average. I came in on June 16th around 3:00 pm. I had gotten the vanilla iced late. The white guy at the register with the glasses was helpful and kind. I think the coffee had a creamy, not too sugary texture. It was enjoyable. However, when I went to get my coffee the white girl behind the bar who was dancing laughed at my name and when I repeated it she got irritated. I said, " Yes, Appolonia " she recited " um, yes I guess." I then asked her where the lids were since I had never been there before and she yelled, in a nasty-tone, "Right behind you!" I dont mind the dancing. I think that is a cool, chill vibe. I myself work in the food-service industry and I am a server. Even with the rudest customers, I don't talk like that let a lone a nice person. I don't know what set her off but it wasn't appreciated nor necessary. I wouldn't say don't come here but perhaps get a different barista. read more

This place has me addicted. I should never have come in because now I want to come every day. The place has an amazing staff and ambience. It's a great place to sit down and do work, meet with friends or just to grab a quick bite/drink. I love that it is just a walk away from my house on a cute/quieter street. They have great outdoor seating and their indoor space is so pretty too. Their lattes are amazing: the first time I came here I asked for a suggestion, and I went with the Cubano with oat milk, iced. I can't stop getting them now, and I NEVER used to be an iced coffee girl. I have also tried their winter chai, regular chai and vanilla latte which are also great options. But the Cubano is the best by Truly this is the best cafe ever, so glad it's my local place! read more

I've been to the Burbank location a lot, but this was only my second time at the Glendale spot. Friendly, helpful staff, but a little slow considering there weren't a lot of people waiting. Good coffee, a shade pricey, and no size options on the americano. read more

What a wonderful find! Such a cute coffee shop on a cute street near Burbank! After having dinner in Glendale with my boyfriend, we wanted to find a place nearby that we could stop it to get some work done at, and found Coffee Commissary! It's a cute little coffee shop on Kenneth Street, not far from Burbank. It's a very quaint and cute village-y sort of street. Coffee Commissary itself has a bit of an industrial vibe to it, and lots of seating at both counters along the mirror and booths. Very comfortable and relaxing! A lot of people just chatting or studying inside. We ordered a mocha and a chocolate chip cookie. I thought that they were quite reasonably priced, especially in contrast to a lot of the trendy coffee shops in Los Angeles. They both tasted delicious. I especially thought that the chocolate chip cookie was really yummy and delectable! They have fast, free WiFi, and it's a great place to work on your laptop and/or study, which is what we did! Nice music playing in the background, but not too loud, which I appreciate. An all around great vibe, great value, great food. I'll be back! I love its location and its atmosphere! read more

I love this place! I was initially only planning on being here for a little bit but ended up doing laptop remote work for a few hours. The atmosphere is hip yet chill. Very cute interior. I LOVED the sparkling peach tea I ordered. I didn't end up getting any food but the menu looks great. Highly recommend one of their locations in the LA area if you need to casually meet a friend or do some chill laptop work. read more

Exceptional design and a killer vanilla latte - my first thoughts at this new addition to Kenneth Village... On a particular Saturday morning, the neighborhood was pouring in for their morning fix and others for brunch. Family friendly environment, with plenty of pastries and crafty drinks. Seating is ample and the "coffee bar" setup is wonderful. Service was also great. They did well with a busy crowd. PS killer mirror selfie photo op read more

Coffee Commissary - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

I've been here before covid plenty of times and it was great. Outlets and wifi, 2-hr street parking or parking in surrounding neighborhoods, seating indoors and outdoors. Today I came in and decided to just go for their lemonade. Absolutely not worth $5 for a tart, yet almost tasteless drink. The lady who took my order was also unfriendly. Their music is ridiculously loud for a place that has consists mostly of people working on laptops. I'm a huge fan of coffee shops with good music playing overhead, but it's so loud that even music with the volume all the way up in my earbuds isn't able to drown it out. Overall, this is a solid place to get work done but it's such a bummer that the drinks are overpriced and the music is way too loud. If they turned down the volume and made drinks that tasted good enough for the price, then it would be a 5-star spot read more

What a cute breakfast spot! I've lived around here for about 4 years and never been here before until a friend introduced me to it! When you walk up to the register you order with the cashier and they call your name when it's ready. There's inside and outside seating available. We got seated at the booths which was nice and spacious. We ordered the avocado toast and the burrito and their lattes. So so good! There's plenty of parking and shops you can walk around once you're done eating. read more

Was excited to try out this new coffee shop in Glendale. It's definitely got the trendy/hipster vibe. They made a good flat white and seem to have a wide selection of pastries and a pretty full menu for breakfast and lunch. They have a pretty wide selection of seating from booths to tables to outdoor seating with umbrellas. My only complaint would be that the music is pretty loud and when it's gets full with people it gets even louder. read more

Coffee Commissary - Flat white - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Good place to grab some coffee/food, and get some work done. lots of seats inside, don't come during prime hours, it can get a bit busy. Coffee is about $4-6 dollars, but tastes great. Issa vibe inside for sure. They were playing the entire "Young Thug" album and people in line were dancing. I got the breakfast burrito, it was not bad, but not the best, just okay. parking can get a bit tough too. The line went a bit slow, they only had one register open and the line took about 20 minutes. read more

Coffee Commissary - Oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

Mid coffee, super crowded for no reason, and ok food. The cost and quality of the coffee and bakery items are questionable. It's about $7 a latte and all I taste is almond milk. I've gave it a shot more than a few times and it's just not for me. It's always so chaotic in there and too noisy to even sit down. Plus parking is always an issue. The only thing that saves this place is their patio seating which is nice because it's located in the center of the village. I would go for the patio seating but would bring my own coffee. read more

I really enjoy this coffee spot very much. Although I am no longer a coffee drinker I have to say their coffee beverages are very good. I've never been a Starbucks coffee person but I worked there for 4 years and would always take a local coffee spot over a Starbucks beverage any day. I believe their syrups here are homemade and their oatmilk vanilla latte was to die for. I haven't tried their food items yet but will be coming back soon to do so. FYI this place gets packed on the weekends so beware the long lines! read more

Their coffee is very similar to Starbucks coffee which I really dislike. Their iced coffees are super watery. And the main reason i don't recommend this place is because they are super slow. It takes forever to get your order. read more

Another update. This update is strictly how well they followed guidelines when this guy walks in without a mask and was told to put a mask on. He claims to have a medical condition and can't wear a mask. The chef told him that he needs to be outside and that the food can be delivered to him. The guy was a douche about it and was unapologetic. Bravo to the chef for enforcing masking during this raging pandemic! Everyone else is wearing a mask inside. Your freedom is not taken because you can still have a nice cup of coffee on a beautiful day. Wearing a mask is not a hard task. Just saying. I applaud what I just witnessed. read more

I like the layout of coffee commissary it has a warehouse feel. They are pricy. There is plenty of street parking. The vibe sort of sucks. Blasting music like club blasting loud. Not only is it blasting it's really bad. I have to sit outside so I can focus when working on my laptop. If I have to go inside I wear ear plugs. They also need to clean their tables and bathrooms. Giant bug in bathroom today, and I had to ask for a table to be wiped down for me. The guy took his sweet time getting there. I've gotten the matcha not bad. The banana bread is a huge slice but one side is always dried out every time I've been in there. They need to cover up the pastries so they stay fresh. read more

3.5 stars. All day breakfast and lunch is a big plus. Triple fried potatoes and other regulars are great, but the special at the time was just so-so. The chips seemed overcooked and underseasoned, whereas the tuna salad was a bit dry. Service is quite nice however and the atmosphere is pleasant. read more

Coffee Commissary - Cold brew+matcha+iced chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

The location is great - great vibes and relaxing atmosphere. No parking available but there's street parking in neighborhood all around. This place was really busy and packed the whole time I was there - some working on laptops & some dining in. Indoor seating and outdoor seating are available. I didn't get a coffee, however I did order a salad because there were no GF options and it was mediocre. Service is nothing great - woman at cashier wasn't that friendly. This spot is OK, probably wouldn't be jumping to come back. I'm sure most people come here to pick up coffee but to dine in, there are better food options elsewhere. read more

Cute shop with outdoor seating and lots of indoor seating ( not now due to covid). They rotate their coffee beans for espresso, but one of their roasts is from Unity which is one of my favorites! Had a single shot of espresso; dark, robust and a bit of fruity sharp after taste. I prefer my espresso more on the silky, creamy side but this one was actually very pleasant... there wasn't much of a bitter after taste. They pull shots on a Strada, solid espresso machine. Another plus; they give you a cup of sparkling water with your espresso just like in Italy :-) Staff: super friendly, engaging and welcoming Conclusion; great coffee shop and def be back when I am in the neighborhood. read more

Having worked in hospitality before, I pride myself on being patient and understandable when it comes to long wait times, especially during the weekend brunch rush. However, I don't understand why a latte took 30 minutes to prepare. I understand food taking that long, but a drink? I was also ignored by all the people working, including what looked to be the owner, when I tried to politely ask for an update 15 mins in. Maybe my order was erased off their board, maybe someone else took it, who knows? Best part of my visit was the cute dog that came in, I'm not even gonna lie. The reviews for this place are accurate when they talk about the long waits and non-responsive staff. This place has so much damn potential, too, if they got their shtuff together. read more

What's worse than a business who won't listen? One who pretends to like the copy/paste comment you wasted my time with. I did not visit you "today" and bottom line is you said nothing but just took advantage to show users here you reply. Sad. You can try harder for the people who come to your business and give you their hard earned money. Let me guess... copy/paste response coming again... read more

Coffee Commissary - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

I spied this joint last week when i had an ear lowering next door. Though i have lived in Glendale for a number of years i have really spent zero time on Kenneth Road and therefore did not really know what treasures or booby prizes there were here. Coffee Commissary is not a b prize for sure beginning with the drip coffee. Though they sell all manner of espresso drinks i always start, at any new coffee emporium with a drip. A drip coffee shows me where the company's head is situated: what beans they use, the quality of the beans and how much or little the roast is. I also surmise that most people order plain old coffee when it all boils down to it. Am i right? I think yes but if not let me know. In any event, today i ordered: A cup (only one size! why, why, why?) of Dark Roast drip An order of eggy Austin Tacos with chips and Habanero chili sauce Cinnamon Sugar Brioche (which i assume comes from the Valley bakery across the street) The Coffee served here (16-ish ozs?) is rich, fruity but too much water used in the brewing for my taste, Meaning: it is not strong enough. More beans, less water i'm guessing would produce a heartier product. I could also taste hints of blackberry and cherry...but just barely. This seems to be an industry-wide issue: a money saving one, maybe? Question to coffee commissary people: why only one size? I know that the actual beans are variable in cost but 4 bucks for 4 gulps of coffee is a little high but if the coffee itself were very rich and caffeinated...i would not be complaining. Larger sizes would give me a better caffeine high....to be honest. Good coffee, not strong enough. I had to buy 2. The so called Austin Tacos were pretty good. And this was after they spent about 40 minutes in my car. I like the use of flour tortillas for a change but the filling is nondescript though it all melds together as a cohesive whole. Yeah i know a lot of fancy words to put out there: this taco is tasty though room temp but i honestly could only taste the egg, a bit of bacon and a schmear of avocado. It seems to me that you need to cut the items, increase the portions and you will have a primo Taco...Austin or Tex-Mex style or not. The chips are hot, tasty, crispy and the Habanero sauce (more like a thick salsa) was tasty though not hot enough for something that bills itself as a Habanero item. The Cinnamon Sugar Brioche from the Valley Bakery across the street is delectable: a buttery, big fat Brioche roll with sweeter than sweet dusting of good cinnamon and sugar. (and yes there are qualities of cinnamon out there and they use a very good quality of one on this item). The service is informative and pleasant. They have a big menu here and i hope to try more soon. Cheers! read more

Always saw this place, never really came in until this year, but I'm so glad I did! The first time I tried their coffee it was actually at the Burbank location, and this one is significantly better. Their coffee (my order is an iced vanilla latte) isn't my favorite in the whole world. That's why I'm not giving them the full five stars, but it gets better every time I try it. I like mine with a little bit of liquid sweetener so it isn't too bitter and it tastes great! The main reason I go here is for their avocado toast. It is the best I've ever had. The bread is thick and fluffy. They use this really good tomato spread and put arugula on top. I crave it all the time. My friends have also tried their weekend breakfasts (the salmon Benedict) and they love it. They don't have their own parking lot and seating has never been available inside, so if those are things that bother you, perhaps the other location is a better option. I also read some other reviews saying the service was really unfriendly. I mean I wouldn't say they have the best customer service but I feel as though the employees are just shy, not mean. These are all things that never really bother me, but could be a drawback for some people. The one thing that always surprises me is how expensive my totals come out to be. Two lattes and two toasts were $29 once. If you're looking for something quick and inexpensive, perhaps this isn't the best place. Overall, it's a cute little shop in Kenneth Village. You can always walk around for a little after you're done at the coffee shop. I would definitely recommend coming at least once to try the avocado toast. read more

Delish iced oat latte! Stopped in because I needed a pick me up one evening when I was really dragging and had been in the area. The only place I typically frequent along this little stretch of Kenneth is the vegan fro yo spot but I've been a long time fan of Coffee Commissary and knew they'd do the trick and perk me right up!

Extremely disappointed in the service I received this morning. My cousin and I walked in to an empty coffee shop at 9:30am. We weren't greeted by the baraista. He was too busy making online orders to even say hello.. we waited literally for 8mins or so until someone acknowledged us. Anyways we got coffee. Mocha lattes. Not great. The fair fax breakfast sandwich was yummy but the avocado toast was extremely spicy and not edible read more
