The one star is for the complete PoS owner/manager who doesn't want to fix their AC. Always disappointing when negligent owner's put their staff under illegal work conditions. Coffee is good and staff were trying their best despite the owner's selfishness. Would have loved to sit down with my girlfriend and have our coffee, but the place reeked of body odor. Some very simple advice, spend money to fix your AC = make a lot more money than running a swamp cafe. read more

It's what you'd expect in a specialty coffee shop. Broad choices of high quality drinks & snacks without an encyclopedic list of additives and whatsitnots. The baristas are engaging while keeping a brisk pace on the often long lines of eager patrons. Speaking of patrons, this place is always busy which can make finding a seat a little challenge but not onerous. The vibe is electric with plenty of studying, working and moderate conversation. It's not a megachain nor a church of coffee, it ain't a library and it ain't da clerb. All in all, I dig it and come here often. read more

Service is great, all staff are super friendly. This place is usually always busy. I feel like service is very slow, especially for food.

Updating my review to a 2. I went in today to order two Angeleno burritos, a mocha, and a matcha latte. Nothing complicated, but service today was terrible. The barista taking my order looked impatient and was very rude. After receiving my order they forgot my pastry and I went to go ask for it along with a cup carrier. Same barista assisted me with an attitude and when I asked for the cup carrier she ignored me and gave it to me on the counter instead of handling it directly to me. Bummer I'm giving this review; Coffee and food is really good however staff is horrible here. read more

PROS: We stopped by on Mother's Day Sunday to enjoy a quick breakfast. The place was busy we waited in line and ordered an egg sandwich with triple fried potatoes, pancakes, and an iced mocha. The pancakes were delicious, my girl stated they were the best she ever had. The iced mocha was okay it wasn't that great. CONS: Like any restaurant there's limited seating. We needed a table for two and many A-HOLES were sitting with their laptops taking up a four seat table by themselves with no food in front of them. These self centered jerks should go to the library or go home to do their so called work. This is a restaurant and not your private living room. You know who you are and F U with a middle finger. Sorry I had to rant I wish the manager would step in and tell them to pack up. read more

I have been in here a couple of times. This is probably my last time. First, they leave all the pastries on the counter uncovered. Flys really enjoy the pastries as well. Not a big deal for staff to sell you a pastry that a fly was on. We ordered a chicken sandwich. See photos, disgusting. The potatoes were not fresh. They may have been cooked hours before. Pass on the coffee. This is my personal opinion. read more

Always love it here, the coffee is superb! And as a place that isn't fully vegan, they offer some really tasty vegan baked goods! Like, as good as the full-on vegan places are. And I appreciate that they always have some options. The staff is always very friendly and helpful too. For those who haven't been, it can get busy, but they have a good deal of indoor and outdoor seating. So, if you are good with sitting outside you can usually find a great place to sit. read more

This place is really good! We live close and it's always a great and easy walk! I recommend!

10/10 recommend! The food is amazing, the coffee is outstanding, and the people are great. Great place for a breakfast date or to sit and work. This is my and my fiancé's Sunday ritual. read more

Grabbed an iced vanilla coffee today and a cookie for my daughter. They never disappoint, coffee was delicious as always and my daughter enjoyed her cookie as well. Although, I was a little disappointed with the wait seemed like it took a long time for the coffee to be ready even though they weren't busy at the moment. But staffing I'm sure isn't the same due to safety guidelines. read more

This review is solely about the avocado toast because it was a top notch toast. I LOVE the combo of avocado and chiles, but the pickled green tomato really threw this over the top. I wish I could come here every day of my life and eat this, no joke. Should I learn how to pickle my own tomatoes? Probably read more

My friend and I stopped by here for coffee over the weekend. They have some small tables and seating outside and inside the coffee shop. They have a pretty standard coffee menu with the basics, but some specialty drinks. They also have pastries behind the counter and a food menu as well. When we were waiting for our drinks, I noticed the food that was going out and it looked pretty good! I just got a latte with an extra shot of espresso and my friend got the Winter Spiced White Chai. They have many non-dairy milk alternatives which I appreciate, including oat milk. I really enjoyed my latte and my friend enjoyed his chai too, it tasted like a lighter/creamier/mellower version of a regular chai. The staff was incredibly helpful and sweet. Great customer service and great coffee! Would definitely come here again. read more

We haven't been to the Coffee Commissary since pre-pandemic.  We visited recently on Christmas Eve and everything was still delicious.  We were ordering for a late lunch and the worker was very friendly and explained the menu to us. Weekend brunch items are available Sat & Sun til 3PM.  For a late lunch the 3 of us ordered: Coronado burrito, Angeleno burrito, Cinnamon French toast crunch,truffle tater tots, chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant, an ice coffee and a bottle of sparkling water.  My friend said her Angeleno burrito would have been good had the habanero hot sauce been on the side as requested.   But we did enjoy everything else, especially the cookie and the croissant! The tatar tots were a huge portion and the french toast was tasty.  Love how they have outdoor seating so you can hang out with friends. There are also plenty of seating inside with plugs and you can set up a laptop. read more

Two out of the three girls working there were busy talking to friends on the side while one blonde girl was unpacking/restocking and was left to do the drinks by herself... my order was a simple hot tea. I didn't need to wait 10 minutes for that poor worker to unpack everything by herself then pour the hot water with my teabag. The manager should make sure workers are doing their jobs and not talking during busy hours. read more

Got both of our drinks wrong and didnt even make them right the 2nd time. We only stopped by here cuz it was nearby. We asked for iced pumpkin chai + pumpkin latte and neither of them had pumpkin puree. One was hot and both were just chai, milk and watered down espresso and pumpkin spice seasoning on top. I asked which one was which and i just sorta got silence from the barista. I usually dont like knocking people down but i even apologized to her for prompting any possible inconvenience. Just not good lol (ex-barista) read more

My friend and I stopped by here yesterday to pick up some delicious coffees and veggie burritos before trekking to Brand Park for a picnic catch-up session. I've gotta say, the veggie burrito is CONSTANTLY on point here. Please get it with the habanero sauce (ask for it) if you like a little vinegary kick. For some reason, I was unable to eat the second half as much as I'd like so I gave it to my dad and he absolutely loved it too. Major props. Also, another new favorite drink from here is the golden milk latte with oat milk. I got it iced and it was just as delicious. I especially enjoyed this one because it had cardamom along with the turmeric, cinnamon and other flavors. Thank you Coffee Commissary for your seriously good service and quality of drinks and food.

Great coffee but AMAZING breakfast burritos. The brisket and California are sooooo good. Tacos are also excellent. But spicy! The morning buns are exceptional. I highly recommend! read more

Its not always I log into Yelp to post but this had me yearning to post I order a brisket hash, that came with dry potatoes So what goes well with dry potatoes, in my opinion some ketchup would suffice I go back to counter to get ketchup and a guy says ok, then a girl comes and says its $1. Excuse me? $1 for ketchup, I get it charge for ranch or aioli or any sauce that you want extra of Ketchup that should have already been provided, it is a brunch spot? Or is it not? I don't know anymore. All I know is I rather go elsewhere Ketchalater read more

The coffee and syrups they use are are sooo good! We got iced vanilla lattes (their oat milk is yummy too!) and an ANGELINOS BURRITO.... Umm YUM. Sooo bomb and they staff is so awesome!

It's a nice hang out place esp on weekends. Little overpriced and I feel like the employees are intentionally working slow and they all have a very mean and condescending demeanor. Coffees are ok, tried the cinnamon pastry wasn't good and tried the avocado toast few times and it's nothing special. read more

I know why this place has 3 stars. I waited 20 minutes for a coffee then had to go. I told the woman at the register to cancel my coffee and she said "ok". Don't offer a refund or anything. Yeah. Just don't go. Very slow. Don't seem to care. read more

Coffee Commissary - Roobias iced tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glendale, California

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

Their iced vanilla latte with almond milk was the smoothest I've had so far! So delicious! I got a few of the fried chicken sandwiches (about $14/each) too and mine was great but the others complained that it was too dry and missing the spread that I had. We went back for a side of the aioli and got a tiny amount for that big sandwich, which was a bit disappointing. The gentleman working the register was hilarious and remembers customers (even the new ones) by their names!! Will be back for their iced latte for sure! 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

I was happy to hear that Coffee Commissary opened an outpost in Glendale. I've been to the Burbank location several times, but this one is much closer to my office. I went during lunchtime with a couple coworkers. I ordered the smoked salmon and avocado toast plus a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate loaf for later. My coworkers each ordered a breakfast wrap. While I liked what I ordered, my companions weren't as enthused about their choices. One found the veggie wrap to be on the bland side and both didn't like the salsa that came with the wraps. There was no hot sauce available other than sriracha. Service was friendly and they brought out pico de gallo and sriracha and explained that they usually also offer habanero salsa but were still in the process of making more at the moment. We found free street parking easily. It's in a cute part of North Glendale next to boutiques and restaurants. read more

I wish I could give this place no stars. As others have mentioned, there is not even an attempt at COVID mask enforcement. When I brought it up to the cashier (including saying that masks are required by the county inside all public spaces when people are not actively eating), all she could do is nod and say okay. I did not eat there. For those who have the same concerns, I recommend reporting this to the county public health department. That's what I'll be doing. read more

This is by far my favorite Coffee Commissary location. Not only is it bigger than the Burbank one that I'm used to but the quality of the drinks are far superior. We ordered an Almond Matcha Latte, Oat Milk Latte, and the Breakfast Tacos. All of it was great. The tacos are large and can be split between two people. Just a heads up if you're a tater tot fan like me... they're INSIDE the taco, not on the side. Regardless, the tacos were wonderful. There's a decent amount of seating inside and out. Gender Neutral Bathrooms. Plenty of street parking available during the week, which is when I visited. 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

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

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

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
