This place is very unique. It's a historic part of the railyard that was once here. It's been turned into an amazing coffee house and let me tell you even if you wanted to sit outside and that historic patio you can in my case I came inside because the heat was incinerating me, but I was very lucky. I had to get myself a Boylan natural cane sugar soda, which was a Shirley Temple that sweet crisp liquid but so welcome given out parched I was the Service was super friendly. I recommend coming back and trying the coffee drinks. read more

After seeing this place recommended so many times, I finally gave Groundwork Coffee a try, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito, which comes packed with soyrizo, tofu, roasted potatoes, peppers, avocado, and vegan chipotle mayo. It was filling, flavorful, and satisfying from the first bite. The harissa hot sauce completely elevated the burrito and gave it the perfect amount of heat without overpowering everything else. I also grabbed the seasonal Strawberry Matcha Latte, which was light, refreshing, and a great balance of matcha and strawberry. If you're vegan or just looking for a great breakfast burrito, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. read more

The service was ok, the coffee is good. Just too bad the my sandwich came with two pieces of burned bacon.

I love groundworks coffee, they make some of my favorite beans and I love a good pour over. Their breakfast offerings are all tasty as well. The issue is this location is a bit sketchy with poor parking, but I like the interior and the way this is in a train depot a lot. The smell of coffee fills the room so pleasantly and the inside is a great place to work remotely. read more

I visited Groundwork Coffee in North Hollywood for the first time last month. This location is an old train depot, which is super cool and gave off warm and rustic vibes. I went around 3pm on a Friday and luckily, I found metered parking directly in front of the shop. Although parking is limited, the shop's very spacious with plenty of seating indoors & outdoors. The service was quick. I ordered the 16 oz, iced Beehive Matcha Latte with almond milk ($8.00) for an afternoon pick-me-up. It was floral, sweet, and cinnamon-y, but too milky for my taste. Also, I picked-up a Too Good To Go bag, containing a variety of pastries. One of my fave pastries was the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf because it was aromatic, nicely spiced, and had a good amount of chocolate chips. Another fave was the Bacon Cheddar Scone, which was salty, smoky, and paired well with hot tea. I'd like to return to this Groundwork Coffee location to try other drinks and spend more time, but the limited parking makes it difficult. read more

Pretty cool outdoor sitting area, coffee quality is great. Been coming here for years when I have time.

Quirky and laid-back coffee and pastry shop located in what appears to be a renovated train depot located at ground level just above the NoHo subway station. Indoor and outdoor seating are both readily available. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is good. It's easily to swing by when passing through the station en route to or from this and other areas. read more

Always drove pass but never tried them until now. Love the fact that it's in an old train station. Food a little on the pricey side but tasted great. Family loved it. My daughter said it's her new go-to for French toast. My son loved their sandwiches. We will definitely be back. Only issues would be parking (street only), and some of the sketchy and homeless elements that are nearby due to the NoHo MetroRail station and Green Line bus terminal right up against cafe. That being said, there is security around and a fairly large size police presence between the bus and subway terminal, so we didn't feel nervous. read more

A little bit harder to find when you're not from the location but I was happy to try out a groundwork's coffee bar. The horchata cold brew was very smooth and the food was very good as well. All around I was happy with this location for a well respected coffee company on my books! read more

For some reason, yelp took down my order of this place, suggesting it wasn't a review of the proper place. I contested but I have yet to see my review go back up, which to me, suggests some shady reporting activity. Though I have no proof of said matter. To be clear, I have been here, multiple times. The atmosphere is the exterior of a train station (it was one once) and the interior is sort of a boxy coffee shop with some indoor seating, and a lot more fenced off outdoor seating. The coffee is way overpriced and super mid compared to other offerings around town. The food is okay, but also very expensive. The biggest issue is the location is across the street from the NoHo Subway station, which, sadly, in this day and age, invites a lot of questionable people surrounding the environment. I've been acostsed in the front of this place before, and have seen numerous other issues arise. I don't blame the coffee shop for this specifically, but location is an important consideration in one's outings. The staff was - fine. They seemed like they didn't want to be there. Personally, I think NoHo has gotten super crowded. I'd recommend some coffee joints in Toluca Lake or neighboring areas. If not there, then go across the way to Republic of Pie. At least they are legacy old school NoHo at this point! read more

This location is very unique as it is a former train station turned coffee shop, very cool. I tried the matcha and was not a fan of the cinnamon, threw me off completely. I did enjoy the iced latte and would get the coffee again. Service was just okay, I would recommend if you enjoy working outdoors and don't mind noise. Inside is a little small. read more

I was sitting in the cafe working when i was told they were closing RIGHT NOW. On Apple Maps, it says it closes at 7pm. I went to the counter to tell the workers that there's a discrepancy and that they should fix that. One of the workers just chirped at me and said "There's the door!". Sorry for trying point you're falsely showing your hours. I get they've had a tiring shift but literally wtf is with the attitude with such an honest misunderstanding (a misunderstanding, mind you, that should be placed on the business and not on me). read more

This cafe was built into the NoHo historic train depot. Very cool atmosphere, plenty of seating, and as a plus for many people it's by the metro! The parking is street parking unless you're parking at the metro across the way! The service was fast and friendly. We ordered the horchata cold brew, hot vanilla latte, and the breakfast burrito. The horchata cold brew was DELICIOUS! You could taste the cinnamon and the flavors melted together making it a supreme drink! The hot vanilla latte was also amazing! It was creamy and you could taste the vanilla flavor! The breakfast burrito though....EXCELLENT-DELICIOUS-MARVELOUS! As you can see we scarfed it down before snapping a picture, but the burrito was pretty big! It had eggs, potatoes, cheese, avocado, peppers and onions. On the side, they served a salsa and a chipotle aioli sauce so you could try them both out with the burrito! This was an excellent place to stop and grab a bite and a coffee. If you're in NoHo definitely stop by! read more

Great neighborhood coffee shop right next to the Noho station. Very big location with plenty of seating distributed throughout the front, middle, and their large back patio. Great spot to catch up on some work or do some reading, while also being able to have a conversation with a friend. We ordered the Beehive matcha latte ($7.50) and the Horchata cold brew ($6.50), along with a breakfast burrito ($14.50). The burrito definitely caught me by surprise and got me curious for the rest of their menu. It was really good! Would definitely stop by again. read more

I was in the area and was looking for a unique coffee/tea spot and came up on groundwork coffee. It's in what looks like an old train building, right in the metro parking area. There is meter street parking out front or you can park in the metro area and walk over. I walked in and orders the beehive matcha. Honestly a honey matcha sound intriguing so I wanted to try it. I asked for it iced and it didn't take long before it was ready. I walked upstairs to the seating area which had old chairs from an elementary school and vintage vibes all over. They also have a big patio outside as well, but I just wanted to chill in the ac for a moment. Drink 10/10 that honey matcha made it sweet but not overly sweet and the texture of the matcha itself was really good. I would def be stopping by again and grabbing another one! read more

Everyone here is friendly and helpful. I was unsure about the Horchata Latte cold brew and they let me sample it. I'm so glad they did because it was too strong for me. I went with a Vanilla latte and it was perfect. A good balance of coffee and vanilla flavors. My sister got the Beehive Matcha and really liked it too. I also ordered the avocado toast without onion and it was delish on the sourdough. The location is spacious with plenty of seating and cute plants. read more

The train depot Groundwork NoHo location is a quaint, quiet spot to enjoy quality coffee and pastries. Both the indoor and outdoor areas have enough space to provide a peaceful work area or intimate setting for chatting with your companions, and the vintage aesthetic is a welcome change from personality-free, cookie-cutter Starbucks. There's free parking a couple blocks past the metered streets around the post office. They're open till 4pm on weekdays only. We arrived about half an hour before 4 on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised with the offer of free pastries, as they needed to clear the trays before closing. They have Groundwork products available for sale as well, to stock up for yourself or secure a nice local gift for an out-of-towner. read more

Dropped by today for the first time! Haven't heard of this place till now. We had brunch down the street over at Bruxie's and I needed my coffee fix but wanted to try a coffee spot I haven't tried yet and this peaked my interest! We walked on over since parking out here is horrendous. Wasn't a bad walk, maybe like 2 blocks down. It's like an old railroad station converted into this coffee shop which is really neat! I went for a small Vietnamese iced coffee and it came almost immediately! There was one person ahead of us in line with the cutest and sweetest dog that we got to pet while waiting to order. They only have paper straws so I passed and just drank from the spout lid which is very convenient. Wish more spots had these lids! The sweetness and strongness of the coffee was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Definitely on the stronger side but that's how a Vietnamese iced coffee should be and what they are known for! It also uses condensed milk which is typical for this drink. It's one of my favorites and glad they made it perfect! Looking forward to coming back! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Went there to meet client for work. The place is very quaint, it's an old train depot. It's right by the Lankershim metro station. Parking is street only. There is a post office parking lot that you can use (pay). There are quite a bit of the "unhouse" milling outside though. When you get in, all is good. Coffee was good, plenty of seating and also a big outside patio. It's good. read more

Day Visited: Friday at 12:15 PM Price Range: $5-$7 Parking: Street parking near the bus station Ordered: Iced Mocha with vanilla syrup I ordered an iced mocha with vanilla syrup and it was smooth and comforting. The coffee shop is located right near the bus station, but there is a lot of seating inside, so if you want to hangout and catch up with friends or have your own study session, this is a solid place to try. The baristas and staff were also super friendly and I received my drink quickly and efficiently. Although I ordered my drink to go and didn't stay long, I would love to come back and sit outside on their patio for a few hours and bask in the sun! read more

I came here during the weekday during brunch to get some work done and now this is going to be one of my go-to study/ work cafes. The ambiance and noise-level is great for working as they provide wifi, provide free fresh water, outlets, and spacious tables indoor/outdoor The food and drinks are great to order while you are catching up with a friend or getting some work done. I have tried their Iced Matcha Latte and Cold Brew and they are both refreshing, flavorful and bold. I like how the drinks are not too watered down. Their Breakfast Burrito was so good! Feel free to ask them what foods and drinks they recommend as they are open to giving suggestions. Giving 4 stars as I had only come here one time and their bathroom cleanliness could be improved read more

Clutch Groundwork Coffee location. I greatly appreciate (forgive me if I'm misspelling names) Kaypri and Kennedy. They make remarkable flavorful beverages and are such kind souls. The location is iconic and definitely worth a visit!!! Gorgeous generous covered patio in the back, wonderful thoughtful teak interior, excellent location just steps away from the metro and other nearby businesses. Come and lounge, walk, mingle. There are tons of wonderful beverages available at Groundwork. read more

Cold Brew please! Groundwork Coffee - North Hollywood is location next to the Metro G (Orange Line) on Chandler Blvd & Lankershim inside the South Pacific Electric Station (goldenrod/sandy yellowish building). They have parking on the street as well as a small shared lot with LA Metro (along Chandler / Tujunga). There's lots of seating on their open air deck covered patio. Free Wi-Fi, pet friendly and restrooms for customers (don't forget to ask for the code - they'll write it on your receipt). Life most cafe/coffee spots they have a few snacks and miscellaneous items for sale as well. They also offer some meals here as well. The coffee is amazing as well as their other beverage offerings and the service is always a win for me. Stop in for your Groundwork fix! read more

The latte was incredible, breakfast burrito was delicious and hefty, employees were an absolute delight. We'll definitely be back!

Trying this place for the first time. Didn't even know the place existed. Croissant was very yummy and the coffee was delicious. The two guys behind the counter were super friendly and I love the experience. Parking is a challenge since location and is right down the street from the metro station so the area is not pretty cool but their outdoor seating is very cute. We got to enjoy our coffee in our pastries sitting out there. It was very enjoyable. After having a couple of bad experiences recently, we think we found our spot .Will for sure be returning to this little gem read more

It's been awhile since I have been here. Stopped by for coffee after a morning of running errands for work. I got a cold brew with milk and enjoyed it much. Their coffee is pretty good but not their service. Very unprofessional staff talking and not acknowledging your presence.

This restaurant is inside the train station. The walkway to get to the front door is very dirty and has a very strong urine smell. Inside is pretty ran down. I was at least hoping to like the food and drinks but was disappointed. The iced matcha was overly sweet and had a weird aftertaste. The avocado toast was burnt and barely had any avocado on it. The burrito was ok. I think this place can be something really cool but they need to put some work into it. read more

Nice place and great location, staff were pretty chill. Just can't bring myself to buy another $8 latte

This is a Review for Too Good to Go: First of all the location looks awesome. Second of.all super big 5 stars! Great customer service. 24 total items in my Too Good to Go bag, see pictures. Parking is a little difficult, but worth it. The food quality is fresh and amazing. These guys know how to rock the Too Good to Go world. I ordered coffee and a wrap, both were excellent, so highly recommend placing an order while here. read more

Wasn't very fond of the service today. I showed up closer towards opening. You should treat every customer like it's their first time visiting and this was my first time. Baristas shouldn't work morning shift if they're not morning people because I didn't feel welcome at all. I ordered an iced matcha with their house cashew milk but I only tasted the milk. I asked for light ice and still got a cup full of ice. I also ordered two pastries (blueberry muffin and banana walnut loaf) and nobody offered to heat them up; loaf was stiff and tastes like it's been sitting for days. This cafe is not easy to find and the only reason why I stopped by is because I was already nearby + saw TikTok reviews. Very sketch area since it's by the subway station, the employees don't even want to work and pricey considering I didn't enjoy anything about this experience. This cafe needs more friendly, detail-oriented individuals. read more

I'm obsessed with their Ava ado toast. Service is fast and efficient. Ambiance is nice too. I will definitely return :)
