I do love Groundworks Coffee and this location in the heart of Hollywood is no exception. We were early for the Freda show across the street and this was a perfect spot to pass some time. Nice clean shop with plenty of seating inside. The staff was friendly and made our drinks quickly especially considering they were pretty busy. I had a Red Eye, my Son had a Latte and both were very good. This was just a quick pitstop so we didn't have anything to eat but what I saw sure looked good. There is only street parking by the store but we were already parked in a nearby parking structure. read more

Groundwork Coffee - Vanilla latte Chai latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Overall, the coffee is okay. The matcha croissant is good. I've been here twice and as I was here this morning, I remembered what rubbed me the wrong way on my last visit..the customer service. The cashier was a bit rude in our ordering interaction. As someone who has only visited Groundwork twice, I took a double glance at the menu before ordering my drink/pastries and he seemed annoyed. It's unfortunate that both times I was left with the same feeling. read more

Tried their pour over coffee which was decent. I didn't add any creamer or sugar so I could see how it tastes just black. It was a good cup of coffee but standard. The service though was a bit lacking. They were professional but not that friendly. I like the interior and there's plenty of seating which is a plus. Not sure if id be back though with so many other cafes around. read more

Amazing breakfast tacos. The best nitro cold brew. Down to earth staff. Went here many times.

Best breakfast tacos, burrito and service in hollywood. I go there often and love the food and latte

Been a while since I've been here. Based on delivery. Ordered a Vietnamese coffee which was really good. Not too sweet but sweet enough. Ordered the bitches brew hash. Not bad. I added some ketchup and siracha to add more flavor. Could use a bit more beef read more

Great food & service... loved it. Only here for work but it's my "everday"breakfast & coffee spot.

Groundwork Coffee - Vietnamese Iced Coffee - 16 oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Coffee and food are good, but the fact that you can't order online at this location (system has been down for over a year) and they refuse to pick up the phone for phone orders means it's impossible to order ahead. For folks who work in the area and don't have time to wait in line and then wait for food to be prepared this is a deal-breaker. Bye, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Wauuu so good! I've seen Groundwork throughout LA and never really took the time to visit but I wish I did sooner. Food, drinks and service were phenomenal! My friend and I ordered: -- Avocado Toast 5/5 Might be the most elite avo toast I've ever had. I loveee the toasted sesame seeds on the side of the bread. The addition of corn and cotija cheese just works so well together. -- Iced Beehive Matcha Latte 5/5 I've had some bad matcha lattes in my day and this was delicious. Mild matcha flavor, slight sweetness from the honey, and some warm cinnamon spice. You'll love this if you're into horchata or that leftover milk from a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Service 5/5: An anti masker was getting a little testy but the workers held their ground and I really appreciated that! read more

Groundwork Coffee - empty - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Whenever I am in the area, at farmers markets I make a point of getting my vanilla latte with oat milk here. I buy vanilla lattes everywhere, besides Starbucks, and hands down theirs are in the top 2 in the taste category. Sadly, the closest location to me is 18 miles in traffic. Please open one in the beach cities or South Bay. Service is friendly too. A no cash buisness. read more

Cool place!! Industrial vibe in the interior. I got the horchata cold brew - unique and sweet! I also ordered the avocado toast (7/10): corn and the sweet chili was super yummy and my only critique would be I wished the poached egg was warm (it came out chilled). The blueberry lemon scone had great flavor but was a bit dry. read more

My bf got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and Daybreaker sandwich. I got Goddess Bowl with no bacon cuz I felt like a light breakfast. He liked the coffee, it was perfect sweetness for him. I tasted it too, eventhough I'm not a coffee drinker, it was not bad. His sandwich was good, there was some surprising flavors from each bite. Not sure what they put in there but it was good & interesting! My bowl was full of leaves, 2 poached eggs, avocado, sliced parm cheese, and lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegraitte dressing. It felt healthy and good. Could've used more flavors though, but good overall. read more

Groundwork Coffee - Drinking Cappuccino - 8 oz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The breakfast sandwich with bacon was so good! the tomato tasted like one. The nitro cold brew and had a wonderful coffee taste not a burnt taste like you get with Pete's or the water down version of Starbucks. Also they had an option to sweet it with a guava and I highly recommend that. There's nothing fancy about the place and they're a little bit slow so if you can order ahead I'd recommend it. read more

I've been coming to Groundworks coffee for quite a while. Their coffee is fantastic. It always has been. The reason for this review is this delicious breakfast burrito I just ate. I normally don't order breakfast burritos from a place like this because it will come out a little too "gringo" for my taste but I decided to try it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. I've had breakfast burritos from Mexican joints around town, and I will say that this one is not a letdown and packed with flavor! read more

Groundwork was 3 mins from the airbnb, so my friends and I stopped by. I think the space is beautiful and well planned. I had just walked in and noticed a barista doing a coffee cupping with someone. Recommendation: Would definitely come back to try the other coffees and possibly food (it looked good). Cleanliness (5/5): to be fair I didn't do a thorough "inspection " but everything from the customer perpective seemed clean. The condiment bar, food case and retail walls were clean and organized. Customer Connection (4/5): cashier was nice and friendly. Not a 5/5 because it wasn't extraordinary. Just a basic transaction. Service/Product Quality (4/5): we ordered a vietnamese iced coffee, iced mocha with soy milk, and nitro cold brew. These were really a mixed bag. We all enjoyed the vietnamese coffee, two of my friends liked the iced mocha (for me the chocolate flavor was good but the soy threw me off because of the varietals in soy milk), and the nitro cold brew was the most disappointing. The flavor just wasn't there. Lack of depth and lack of body. read more

Had a latte and breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread that did not disappoint. Friendly staff; it was just hard to communicate through the plastic partition. Not very crowded on a Tuesday morning. read more

First off, the fact that they recognized me a day after coming in shows that their customer rapport is on point. As someone who uses a french press at home and considering a Chemex, they were able to offer tips on making the correct brew and what roasts I would like. Day one: On shift my partner and I went with the Breakfast Burrito with chorizo made fresh in the kitchen and paired well with their chipotle sauce. Right amount of kick and was able to fill me up and satisfied without feeling too heavy for the day ahead. Day two: Went in for their Horchata Cold Brew not too sweet and kept me going for that afternoon crash. My partner had their light roast ready to go but was able to get the job done for the day ahead. With a new hospital contract and how busy we have been, I look forward to enjoying another great cup of coffee and restocking on bags for the house (for dark roast people: get Bitches Brew) read more

Alas, GOOD coffee in Hollywood! It's been a mission to find an almost two-digit costing cup of coffee worth it, however Groundwork does it justice. An iced cashew milk latte is all you need read more

Great service, awesome environment, yummy food and savory coffee! Came here on a Sunday morning around 8AM, first time here and it was a great experience from beginning to end. The coffee shop is very nicely decorated with an industrial vibe. I had the Vietnamese iced coffee and the house granola, my girlfriend had the fried egg sandwich and a vanilla latte. Everything was very yummy and fresh and the barista was very friendly and helpful! I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Groundwork Coffee - House Granola, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Lovely place in a nice area of Los Angeles. We went here for breakfast (I had the French Toast) and a cappuccino. The cafe looks great, with nice colors, an industrial look and plenty of seating available. The coffee was served quite quickly, even though the cafe was pretty much full. After a little wait (definitely not too long) we got the food, which tasted amazing. The French Toast looked a little dark, but tasted great. It was topped with fresh fruit that also was of good quality. Syrup came in a small plastic container, which, given this meal was also possible as a take out, was a good solution. read more

This place super slaps . Great people great coffee great snacks. Truly a place worth stopping by to try

Called before heading out asked what time the kitchen closed a girl said at 3pm got there and a sign read kitchen closed asked the girl and said it was probably the Larchmont location walked out and found out the number I called was indeed this cuhuenga location came back in then told the guy the number matches to this location and then he said "the cook wasn't feeling good and went home early " clearly they both lied Drove from the valley too smh Just left it as that read more

I very recently moved to LA (right before covid) so didn't have time to find my coffee spot before the lockdown... luckily groundwork does pickup. I get the large iced latte with oat milk, honestly it hits different. $6 for a 24 oz, I think this is a deal in LA considering most places do $6 for 16oz. Their coffee is deliciously smooth and the oat milk adds a subtle sweetness with creamy texture that oat milk has. Would love to know what kind they use. Overall this is my new coffee spot. Apparently it's local and organic so that's a major plus. Also conveniently next to mmd Hollywood... iykyk. I'll be back weekly on Saturday's to pickup my iced latte. Makes for a nice walk as well. read more

I've been wanting to try Groundwork Coffee for about a year now but only recently, did, I finally pay them a visit. I have gone back twice, since, and both experiences were superb. 1st visit - I ordered an Iced Latte with Oat Milk (as recommended by a few other reviewers) and a breakfast burrito with chorizo. My drink and food were delicious. 2nd visit - I ordered a Horchata Cold Brew and breakfast sandwich. The cold brew was delicious, however, the sandwich was just okay (dry). The five stars is based off on my first visit. I shall be back to try other things from the menu. read more

Best Mocha I've had in a very long time. The staff is awesome, and I always feel welcome here. Highly recommend this location.

I was fan from the original Venice beach days. Have gone to the Hollywood store since they opened. I moved away and have not been back for a few years. Not the same friendly place. I went in about 8am to a grumpy guy taking my order. Not sure why he seemed so unhappy in his job but then the coffee girl was rude and short when I asked after 25 min 2 people in the shop how much longer a egg and bacon burrito would take Rude, unhappy employees & really slow food service makes me bummed for a place that was so great to stop into. I'm back traveling and near the store when in town. Will look for a friendlier place to start my morning so it's not started with such unhappy people read more

Daybreaker sandwich is incredible. It's a busy little spot and certainly the best thing for several blocks.

Water the plants and cLean the bathroom! 5 employees behind the counter waiting to do stuff. All the plants are dying ladies and gents and the bathroom needs towels and a proper sweep. Take pride in your environment. Everything reflects everything else! I come from a hospitality, customer service background AND living wall business (PACiFIC VERTICAL GARDENS) and noticed the single succulent by the window and I grabbed the plant because it was crying for some bloody water! I walked over to one of five employees and asked they water their own plants. They still carry on in conversation and have not picked up on the hint. There is always something to do. Also was a barista overseas. Work ethic is dwindling and no one wants to work. I don't write many reviews and don't complain often. This is one of the few times in the last couple months I've grabbed a quick bite from this location and nothing has changed. Spoke to someone the last time and I was dismissed. read more

Was in the area and needed some caffeine fix, the sis and I decided to give this place a try since it was around the order. Ordering was quick, got the drink super fast as well. Staff was very nice and patient. I ordered a iced match latte with soy milk, I enjoyed it til the end, I know from my pic you can't really tell, but they added a lot of ice to my drink. When i was done, I had 1/2 cup of ice, I found that a bit annoying. Price: reasonable, close to high, depending on your replacements and add on Parking: street, but during that time i went there was construction read more

Finally found a cafe in la that serves Vietnamese coffee! I've been craving it for the longest time, and I was stoked to try the one at Groundwork! It wasn't too strong, and it tasted better than I expected. I also like how they're eco friendly and use sippy cups instead. They're breakfast burrito was pretty good! It was packed with potatoes, cheese, avocado, scrambled eggs, with this spicy aioli on the side. The ingredients were really fresh, and I was stuffed after eating half of it! I love how they have a lot of healthy options, this place is perfect for a coffee/lunch run! My only problem with this place was their WiFi. I was hoping to get some studying done, but I couldn't because their WiFi wasn't working.. hopefully they get it fixed soon! read more

Oh man...the coffee here is like crack + meth, AT THE SAME TIME! I've been to Groundwork many times, and I seriously love their iced coffee. I recently stopped by for some coffee before the gym; drank half of it before my workout and then the other half after. I was up until 2am....cleaning my apartment lol. Great coffee, friendly baristas, and good vibe. So glad that it's on my way to the gym now. As a coffee addict, I'm grateful for this awesome place. So happy that I can walk here and not have to deal with all the traffic in Hollywood, especially on Cahuenga. Their other location on Larchmont definitely has easier parking. I look forward to trying some of their other items on the menu. Definitely have a lot to choose from, not just iced coffee. I need to try other drinks once in a while. I love the vibe....I'll bring my laptop and reading material and chill her for a while. Need to test out their WiFi. I was enrolled into their rewards program on my last visit. Yay to drinking coffee, to get free coffee. read more

Stopped in for a cappuccino and had some avocado toast ~ both which were quite good! The reason for only 2 stars? The guy behind the cash register was a jerk!!! Maybe he had a bad morning? But come on dude..... there was an item in the Avo toast description that I asked about Tokorashi (sp?) his response "it's a seasoning!" No definition like, it's a spicy seasoning or it's Asian like seaweed or it's a seed ..... nothing just "it's a seasoning. The toast was fine, nice thin whole grain bread also came with a soft boiled egg which I omitted & sweet chili sauce was a nice touch however it's avocado toast that was applied sparingly....Go figure Parking is in front or on the side street both are metered, BTW ~ read more

I wanted to visit Sunset Blvd. on this weekend trip to Los Angeles. I wanted to visit my old stomping ground Amoeba Music. I decided to have a cafe trip. I decided on this one across the street from Amoeba. I decided on the espresso shot to have a taste and it was cheaper than the other drinks. This drink list is expensive. You can use the bathroom, but you have to make a purchase and they give you the code on a receipt. I checked-in and got 10% off to redeem! Yay. So I paid maybe $2 somethin for an espresso. I love Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles and I am happy I had a coffee drink. read more
