SO GOOD, seems like they use vanilla bean and not just crappy vanilla. I loved the cookie. read more

Compelling Coffee - Vanilla Latte snickerdoodle cookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Based on Uber eats order. Order was super quick to be delivered. Coffee was good but a bit pricey for the size. I was about the same as the oats. Oats were good. The avocado toast was okay. Bread was tough. Wasn't personally fond of the spread. read more

Found this place on Yelp after looking for a coffee shop in Hollywood. It's such a cute and small place but the toast is A1. Simple yet so delicious. I got the avocado toast with presccutio. So delicious. The coffee was ok but what really won me over was the toast. It's in a neighborhood with a lot of apartments around so it's quiet and cute. Hopefully I can come back one day. read more

I just stumbled across this place and let me tell you,, if you're a fan of avocado toast .. this place right here, they have , HANDS DOWN, the best avocado toast !!! they're chai & coffee is delicious , but their avocado toast is why I've gone back twice in a week ! lol AAAAAND is doesn't break the bank, that's unheard of in LA !! the bread is perfectly grilled/toasted so it doesn't fall apart, but still yummy & soft, the avocado is perfectly ripe & the creamy vegan romesco sauce , it's bomb ! lol and the prosciutto on top is the chefs kiss ! perfect combo of flavors ! all I have to say is Thank you Compelling Coffee ! read more

Compelling Coffee - Avocado & Prosciutto Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Absolute disappointment. The food looks nothing like the photos they are promoting..as you can see from the "French ham" photo I shared. There is literally nothing on this sandwich? it's all dry ham on dry bread? embarrassing. Also the coffee just tastes really watered down, no flavor whatsoever... Sad cause we were excited about a new coffee place on the block, but won't be coming back..save you $ there's better spots around. read more

Compelling Coffee - French ham - completely dry and terrible - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Small cute coffee shop with great and quick customer service. They make their own house made syrups which I'm a big fan of! Coffee is amazing, I even bought some of their beans to take home! read more

Compelling Coffee - Vanilla Latte w/ pistachio milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I got the breakfast sandwich and a latte. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in Hollywood. The latte was great. Too good, in fact. I drank it so fast that my body started shaking. That's due to my low impulse control, though, not their fault. Will definitely be back again soon. read more

This place is a gem in the neighborhood! I work right across from them and I feel so lucky to have them for my morning coffee. Coffee - Iced latte was strong and delicious but the hot vanilla latte was not strong enough in my opinion :( maybe I should add an extra shot Avocado toast - I tried the "plain" avocado toast with the romesco sauce and it really was one of the best avocado toast I ever had. It was light, fresh and simply delicious. Also, the owner Kian is super friendly! read more

The coffee was very tasty . Felt good and comfortable when I walked in . I love that the cashiers are so nice . It makes a big difference. Even though I got black coffee . I will be back read more

I keep coming back here hoping to get the same quality as the first time, but each time seems to disappoint. The first time I came here, the avocado prosciutto toast had plenty of avocado beautifully spread across a chewy sourdough. The sauce they use is delicious, and I applaud them for that. However, every time I've come back, I've gotten what's probably 1/4 of an avocado that's spread so thin I can barely taste it. The toast has empty spots where there is no avocado, and it seems like they're trying to use the prosciutto to cover up that they're skimping on the avocado. Moving onto the coffee, the espresso was underextracted and had an overly sour taste. It might have been unnoticeable if the drink was a sweetened latte/cappuccino, but with just milk, it was definitely noticeable. Customer service can also use some help. The staff doesn't seem super friendly. I don't believe employees need to always have smiles and be overly enthusiastic. But the combination of underwhelming food, drink, and service gives me little reason to return. read more

I am sure their espresso is great and the barista was very pleasant but my goodness is their drip coffee bad. It was extremely sour and oily. My guess is they don't clean the coffee urn regularly or thoroughly enough. read more

I have enjoyed Compelling's coffee since before they opened their brick and mortar cafes and sold beans online, but I was finally able to visit the Hollywood store on a trip from my home in San Francisco. Great service, pleasant ambiance, and a great location. read more

Had the club sandwich and it was awesome . Turkey bacon and avocado Little on the small side about the size of a bagel but it hit the spot. Ice coffee was ok. Forgot to take a picture before I finished it. read more

Yummy iced lattes with a great blend of coffee and sweet flavors. And fast, friendly service.

Coffee was extremely "compelling". Located in a residential neighborhood. Very friendly staff! Try the breakfast sandwiches!

Super friendly, delic and low key spot right down the street. I love how chill this place is.. feels like a community staple.

A little hidden gem just off Hollywood Blvd. The cafe is located on the first floor of the Line Lofts building on the northern part of La Palma. Their cold brew is only $4, the cheapest I've seen yet for LA. The coffee was also really good! Great price, excellent coffee, and a nice walk if you live in the neighborhood. read more

Compelling Coffee - Cold Brew $4 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was walking by and noticed a new coffee shop. I had to go inside and check it out. I had an iced latte and a cold brew. Both were great. You could tell the place was only into high quality coffee, which I later found out they roast themselves. Excellent place. Will make it a part of my new routine. read more

Saw this place pop up on yelp under "hot and new" so I decided to check it out since it was on my morning route to work... come to find out it's day 2 for them! Cool. I ordered what I always order: an americano black and it was pretty great, great flavor notes. My friend ordered a coffee and put almond milk and he loved it too. Both coffees were piping hot and delicious... Cool space in a nice location, the owner-operator was young and friendly and also seemed enthusiastic about serving a good product which I really appreciated. Will definitely come back to try other coffees and other things - I'm a big tea drinker too and they had a nice assortment of teas as well. read more

Calling coffee compelling is like calling tea gross. Gross Tea. That's a store I'm opening up. Let's put herbs and grass clippings in hot water to burn your tongue and call it a drink. Tea. Ugh. They put so much honey in it because it tastes horrible on its own. Horrible Honey Tea. That's my new store. Also Pooh is our mascot. read more

Was so happy when they opened, but unfortunately wouldn't go here anymore. Staff is super unfriendly. I was yelled at right after I've opened a door. I was trying to walk in with service animal. Awful experience. read more

Compelling Coffee is located near my partner's apartment in West Hollywood. While we have several spots to choose from-- this is a top choice on our list. We buy coffee from their website, too. Big fans here, thank you Compelling!!! read more

Great, cute coffee shop. Only down side is I wanted oat milk in my coffee. I'm lactose intolerant, and they did regular milk. The coffee was still great! read more

My favorite place in the neighborhood, the best coffee and sandwiches, the avocado toast is a must try!

Crazy high attention to quality, great coffee, cool atmosphere and space design. Honestly the best cafe in LA.

Me and my family were visiting the Los Angeles area and were in the mood for avocado toast. I jumped on Yelp and compelling coffee popped up a little down on the list, so we gave it a shot. We ordered the avocado toast to go, once me my wife and daughter took the first bite we all said it was the best AVOCADO TOAST WE EVER HAD, before we can finish I went back inside to order another round for my family. Yes the TOAST was that GOOD !!!!! that I went back inside to order more, the service was great and I'm glad I found this little gem. I highly recommend Compelling Coffee if your in the area , I definitely will be coming back when I'm in Hollywood. read more

Compelling Coffee - Avocado & Prosciutto Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here originally because I was on foot and they were right across the street from my hotel. Three days in a row because the first day was great, the next two did not disappoint. The only this that could be better they unfortunately do not have the option to increase sating outside. Will visit again when I am in town. read more

Ordered some drinks while we waited for our friend to bring the car around; ordered matcha drink and tea. Matcha was very tasty and creamy. The tea was extremely bitter, but my friend said it was palatable. read more

Ordered the PSL drink with pistachio milk which was okay. Would have liked to have tasted the espresso more than I did. Also ordered the avocado toast, which was toasted to the point where it was hard to eat the bread. The barista was extremely efficient as he was the only person working on our order between 3 customers. read more

We got lattes and overnight oats delivered in the morning. It was like excellent room service at a hotel. Lattes were still hot. Amazing coffee too and high quality oats. Can't wait to order from this place again. We are also vegan. read more

Chai latte was way way too sweet. Breakfast sandwich was OK. They had a little counter and chairs inside, so I sat down with my breakfast sandwich and they said no inside seating. There's a table or two outside, but it's not a great area. I didn't even feel comfortable parking my car on that street bc of the area. Honestly, I don't go to Hollywood often, so maybe that's just par for the course there. read more

A great little find in Hollywood for amazing coffee and roasts. The espresso is perfectly roasted and flavorful and you can even taste it in their iced latte. Not the same overly sweet generic stuff you find everywhere. It's criminal that this place is not busier. Just had our first visit but it won't be our last. read more

Good coffee definitely a little pricey but worth your buck. I would say they need to be a little more friendly but overall very pleasing.

This place is awesome! Their "Ethiopia" coffee was smooth and delicious. The matcha iced green tea was creamy. I also ordered the roasted veggie sandwich. It had beets, tomatoes, avocado, and chimichurri--not your typical veggie sandwich but it was still soo good. My boyfriend had the turkey sandwich and he loved it. The bread was fresh from a local bakery. Ended the meal with a buttery, soft chocolate chip cookie. Definitely check this place out! read more

I tried both their vanilla late and chai latte. The coffee flavor balanced with vanilla flavor was delicious. Also probably the best chai latte I've ever had, not too sweet and full of flavor. I'm excited this spot opened up here. The coffee beans are just ridiculous. read more

This place has the best avocado toast around! Super convenient walk up window that makes social distancing really easy! If you're in a rush, need caffeine and a quick snack, then this is a compelling place to go (you see what I did there ) read more

Went there the other day for a Croissant and an Espresso! Got my day going just right! Place is on point and then some it's fire!!!

7/10 for this chai. it smells very delicious good. very light in color which i was worried about but upon tasting it, i was pleasantly surprised. it's a subtle sweet with lots of flavor. the only thing missing is the classic spiciness, but it is very delicious and creamy! the brand of oat milk used for this was also amazing (minor figures) read more
