    Vanilla latte
    Till W.

    Staff was friendly and efficient! No wi-fi password needed here for working remotely which made it much easier for me to plug in after ordering a vanilla latte and a Lil burrito! They have regulars who come here in the morning and there is ample space for indoor and outdoor seating. I liked the hooks underneath the counters.

    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!

    Food (Smoked Salmon Toast & Matcha Latte)

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    The outside

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coffee and pastry
    Odelia S.

    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.

    Brisket burrito yum!
    Garett S.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Coffee Commissary

    Does Coffee Commissary accept EBT?

    no offended tho, this shouldn't be a place for EBT ( Food assistance for in needed). This is a fancy place for who could through some cash gratis to baristas who are working their assoff in minimum wages.

    Do they have different sizes for their coffee?

    Yes two different sizes

    Do they offer gluten free bread?

    No (the only option is gluten free chocolate cake per the barista)

    Are we allowed to sit outside even after hours?

    Probably, just depends on the neighbors. And if they bring in the tables and chairs. Either way, there's a built in bench on the street facing sidewalk.

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!

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

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.

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.
