    After adding more espresso
    Ana G.

    As much as I have loved enigma i recently stopped at the Tarzana location To get myself a Lovers Addict Well the cup was so white with so much milk it was more milk than anything .... Like if I ordered a cup of milk I know it has milk but not when it's super white and tastes like milk only. The barista saw how white it was he added another half a shot of espresso it was still so milky/white but I didn't want to say more I took it like that. I've had so many in the past they were perfect not so milky lately the milk portions are out of hand. Last week I stopped at this location Sherman Oaks Was there at 3:20 pm to get me another Lovers Addict. I said let me try again... Barista said the espresso machine was closed he could do my lovers addict with cold brew.... I needed caffeine bad I told him go ahead I'm not a fan of cold brew ... And yup sure thing I wasn't pleased but I had paid for it I was not going to throw it away. 2 not so great experiences back to back Makes me double think if I should stop throwing away my money like that. In the picture posted it's a cold brew "lovers addict"

    Make sure to get your parking stamp

    This coffee place is inside a building so you might have to either park at verizon or get your parking stamp in :) Taste: YUM YUM they do know how to make delicious coffee. The extraction was perfect. This location is smaller but cute. Thumbs up because is not crowded and you get your coffee quickly. Service was good too!!

    $5.50 for a "blueberry" muffin.... Where are the blueberries?

    " . . . Their coffee is absolutely delicious!" "Some of the best coffee in SFV" "Greatest coffee shop in Van Nuys" Yup, these are actual comments made by other reviewers for what is possibly not just the saddest coffee in SFV, but one of the blandest and most overpriced I've had anywhere. When you order a "Mexican Spiced Mocha" you should expect a little chocolate, a little spice, some bitterness from the coffee, richness from the milk . . . What you should not be drinking is just hot milk with grainy espresso throughout the cup and absolutely no "mocha" flavor let alone any spice. And that cup of milk was $6.75. $5.50 for a blueberry muffin that hardly has any blueberries except for maybe the 2 used to garnish it? I can't fault them entirely since it's clear the pastries aren't made in house, but cmon source them from somewhere decent. Hell I'd be happy paying for a single muffin from Costco instead of wherever this came from.

    While it has taken me a few tries to figure out where the coffee shop was due to the way parking looks, I'm so glad I just took a risk and went in today! I went in thinking I would get a mocha....but the gentleman working suggested the Monday special which was a Salted Vanilla Oat-milk iced latte and pastry for 9$. Since I was trying the place for the first time I just said yes and happy I did. The SOMVL is delightful, blueberry muffin very nice, will try a croissant next time! Heads up to get your parking ticket validated. They make their own syrups which is a huge difference compared to others. Service was excellent 10/10!

    Good drinks This location is tiny but great! It is located in a big building that has different offices. Parking is a bit strange, it is in a structure but you can get it validated. The coffee itself was good. The iced chai was refreshing and sweetened perfectly.

    Too many shops charging a steep price for "one size" small coffee. Probably won't be back

    Loved their espresso! Quick & easy service. A little small and the parking wasn't the greatest though.

It's right…read moreoff Ventura Boulevard, conveniently located near my Pilates studio, so it's become my go-to stop before or after a workout. I've been here at least a dozen times, and the coffee is consistently outstanding. Whether I'm grabbing a couple of espresso shots or a regular cup of coffee, it's always fresh, smooth, and exactly what I need. Their desserts are also phenomenal and definitely worth trying. The hospitality is always warm and welcoming, service is quick, and it's the perfect grab-and-go spot when you're on the move. Plus, there's plenty of street parking, which is a huge bonus on Ventura. If you're looking for exceptional coffee, friendly service, and a local spot you'll keep coming back to, I highly recommend The Coffee Roaster (Steve's Coffee Roaster). It's become one of my absolute favorites.

The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

I tried Master Joe's Medium and Dark Roast, made with 100% Colombian Arabica, and it instantly stood out. Smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced, it was the kind of coffee that makes you slow down and really enjoy the moment. I met the Master Joe's team at an event, and they were just as impressive as their coffee -- genuine, passionate, and clearly focused on quality. Their steampunk-inspired setup created a full experience, and everything they served was crafted with care. The standout for me was the Espresso Martini. Rich, velvety, and unforgettable. I picked up a bag of their beans to enjoy at home and also bought their coffee pods for my Keurig at work. I've been enjoying both ever since. You can tell they care about every detail, and it absolutely shows in every sip.

First and foremost, the bar itself is spectacular - adds a certain ambiance to any event with any design. Second, the drinks they serve are delicious - I guarantee that you will never drink another espresso martini as good as Master Joe's espresso martini. They also serve any type of coffee drink you desire and if you are not a coffee drinker they also serve variety of teas. The staff is amazing and they are so easy to work with. My favorite drink is the Espresito Martini. Book the bar for your events - you will not be disappointed.
