    Such a delicious cup of Americano here! You can tell a lot about a coffee shop based on their Espresso and Americano, distilling coffee to its purest unadulterated form, and not hiding behind sweet sugar, foamy milk, and flavored syrup. The House Roots Coffee Valley Blend that they use for their Espresso is rich and layered. It's not merely "coffee-tasting." Any good Americano that comes from excellent beans should be more than just that. The hints of peach and hazelnut is most noticeable at first, while the lingering taste evolves to unsweetened chocolate. The selection of whole beans are also really good, making it hard to choose from. I have had a few of their Single Origin bags before, and while they are honestly more difficult to wrangle consistency in flavor and taste when pulling a shot of espresso at home (Single Origin can be like this), the results are worth it. This time around, I'm going to try a new bag I have not tried, the Ethiopia Uraga Gogogu (Landraces Washed) from Guji. Tasting notes are Candied Melon Dried Cherry, and Oolong Tea. The aroma is already so good, so I can't wait to try this at home!

    Decided to try this spot after my friend recommended it to me. Absolutely BLOWN away. I'm not one to finish my bevs mostly because I get full quickly and some places serve their drinks terribly too sweet for me. But this one??? I could not get enough. Best coffee I've ever had!

    I went to this location during the soft opening and it was good! It's been awhile since I came back and I will say, I feel like they changed their recipes to some items or changed a manufacturer of some sort. I usually get an Iced Matcha Latte - sweetened with oat milk. When I used to get it, the latte with dull green and tasted yummy. I got a good mix of matcha and oat milk. When I got it this past week, it tasted much more grassy although the color was more vibrant. I will say I think I preferred the old way they used to make the drink. Also the scones they sell are still pretty good! I do look and taste just a tad different but they are overall good. They do have a good seating area to study if you are student going to CSUN. Also staff are very sweet.

    Tried this spot for the first time. Nice chill vibe. They have a few tables and bench seating. Parking is terrible but theres a close plaza with parking within walking distance. Staff was nice. No restroom though fyi. Theres complimentary water as well. Ordered orange truffle latte. Really good. Hot and the orange is subtle but it's a nice combination of flavor. Some might want the orange to be stronger but I liked it. Thank you!

    This is the third location location I've been to and I believe it's the newest. It's a much larger spot and right next to CSUN so good size for all the college students needing their caffeine fix or study session. Parking in the street seems hopeless but you can easily find parking at the shopping center next door. The coffee at House Roots is good- true to the bean and their drinks are consistently not too sweet. They have seasonal drinks as well which is always a fun surprise. Today I tried their toasted pecan latte and it was nutty and again not too sweet, good quality coffee here. I haven't tried any of their baked goods yet or hot food aka burritos but that's next on the list!

    Found about House Roots Coffee on a Sunday morning while running errands. So happy to run into House Roots Coffee and discover their menu and coffee drinks. Customer service here is also great. The young lady at the counter along with the barista were pleasant. House Roots Coffee is a pretty good size coffee shop and just a short walk to the next door parking lot. The shop has plenty of seating options both outside and inside the coffee shop. They also have a bar like seating inside. As soon as you walk into the shop the sweet smell of coffee greets you. The place is spacious and very nicely decorated for the holidays. There's a Christmas tree in the corner with ornaments and lights. The counter is also festively decorated with a banner that says Merry Christmas. You can definitely feel the warmth and spirit of the holidays once you walk in. Love the vibe and ambiance of House Roots Coffee. It's our first time at House Roots Coffee. We wanted to try their Signature Mocha Latte and Seasonal Orange Truffle Latte. Both coffee drinks were equally delicious and up to par. The Signature Mocha Latte was tasteful and you can taste the espresso and mocha blend. It was good and not too strong. My favorite is the Orange Truffle Latte. This was a tasteful coffee drink. Not many coffee houses can perfect an Orange Truffle Latte taste. It's late with orange cardamom chocolate syrup garnished with powdered cocoa. I will order this drink again and we look forward to trying other coffee drinks on House Roots Coffee menu.

    Sunday afternoon rainy weather what do I get ? An iced latte with cold foam. Rain or shine I love an iced coffee. My first time at this location and wow it's so big. The other two locations I have been to are smaller, this is great lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Right next to CSUN. I'm sure the students love it here. I sure did. Freshly baked goods (you serve yourself and take it to the register to pay) Delicious coffee and matcha drinks , good customer service.

    In my opinion I wasn't impressed with their regular coffee. I always try that first when I go to a new place most of the time. My house coffee was bitter and sour. Not sure I'd get that again. I might give it another chance and try something else. Service excellent. Ambiance is casual. Parking available in structure.

    Cute little spot tucked into a new apartment complex, easy to miss if you're not looking for it. I ordered the salted butterscotch latte and really enjoyed it. It was flavorful but not too sweet, which I appreciated. My husband got the choconana dream and said it was pretty light overall. He could really taste the banana toward the end, mostly because of the actual banana chunks mixed in. We also split the chorizo burrito, super tasty, great flavor. My only tip: be careful when you bite in. It was very hot temperature-wise (not spicy), so give it a minute to cool down unless you want to burn your mouth like we did! The one downside was the service. After taking our order, the guy pretty much ignored us when we tried to ask for a digital receipt. Not the friendliest vibe. Overall, the food and drinks were good, but the staff could be a bit more attentive.

    I ordered their ceremonial grade matcha latte w/ oatmilk, less sweet with extra matcha powder as I saw people mentioned how their standard matcha is too sweet and you weren't able to taste the matcha as much. Im glad I did because I can definitely taste more of the matcha umami notes, though I have had places with better matcha-to-milk ratio without having to alter the recipe so I would suggest tweaking the recipe if lots of customers express the same opinion. Fyi, They do charge you more for extra matcha & milk substitute. Overall, it is a minimalistic, clean cafe with few seats inside, but more seating outside! They had friendly workers who made our drinks pretty quick.

    Been getting their coffee for years! Started with their original location up in Granada Hills and then moved on to Chatsworth which was perfect for our daily commute to work. Parking lot is bigger there too. But I think this one takes the cake!! This location is absolutely beautiful! So much open space and love the amount of outdoor seating! They have seats out front and on the side in a kind of patio area. The staff are friendly and they make the drinks fast which is what they are known for. The quality of their drinks doesn't get compromised! Love their salted butterscotch latte but I decided to try their Einspanner Latte this time and was not disappointed!! Make sure to mix it well. Strong coffee with a hint of savory from their salted vanilla cold foam. Perfection and even have the biggest parking lol! They're right next to the shopping center where they have Panda, bb.q, and other shops. Easily walkable and convenient! Can't wait to visit again and try their other drinks. Really wish the Chatsworth location had the full menu of drinks. Maybe one day. IG: @ammysalamii

    My favorite of the 3 locations, lots of seating and super chill atmosphere. Quality across the board, care and craftsmanship go into each cup. Burritos are big enough to share, baked goods are amazing. The baristas seem extra nice too.

    I love the other locations so decided to check this one out. Service is friendly just like the others and drinks and pastries delicious This location the pastry case is self serve so that way you can snag what you want before waiting in line to order There is seating inside and out and outside was nice and relaxing. There is some parking on the street but it looks like on a busy day it may be tough to snag a spot Will definitely return

    Single origin drip coffee. Fruity notes. Very good coffee.

I am grateful that their style seems to be to use less sugar than other bakeries. You can enjoy the sweetness without being overwhelmed by the sugar content. Last weekend we were spending the day with our grandchildren. Adored Grandson was in town from points north for a long weekend. DH had prepared brunch for the family, then we hung out. Later, AG was craving a coffee drink, so the oldest and youngest generation hopped in to the car and went out to get drinks and desserts. Sweet Granddaughter was having a blast, getting attention from 3 of her favorite adults, PLUS getting to pick her own sweets. What more could a six year old want? She's pretty discerning about baked goods, and even got her own tray. We had to pare back some of her selections. AG got his java jolt, and I was able to order a decaf crafted beverage that satisfied my taste buds. $48, four drinks, and multiple pastries to go later, we were headed out the door. Whew! The layout of this particular location is a little odd. Though one can eat in, it doesn't feel like that welcoming of a space. It's mostly about the cases and shelves of baked goods, as far as how the floor plan is set. The counter service people were helpful with answering questions on the options for the drink orders. We did share some of our treats with the parentals at home. The prices at this bakery are very fair. We did get quite a few items.

Overall, my favorite drink ended up being the brown sugar coffee for sure, and I'd definitely give this spot another try. Pricing ranges around $3-$20, which is pretty decent. The lines move quickly, the space is super spacious inside, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions. Great attitude all around!

I've been to South Korea, where I've had some of the best coffee of my life, so my standards are pretty high. Re Coffee absolutely hits the spot.

Beyond the coffee, the shop has a warm neighborhood coffee shop vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff are always friendly and keep things moving despite how busy the shop gets. As for parking, there are a few spots in the back, and you can usually find street parking along Reseda as well. There are plenty of coffee shops around, but Re Coffee stands out for consistently delivering a great cup of coffee. The constant line isn't hype--it's well deserved.

Ambiance: This coffee shop is quaint and feels a little cramped when you finally get inside and through the line. There is a counter top with some chairs as well as one couch and desk where one can study although, I personally never would. It's clean and bright with a minimalistic vibe inside. With it being cramped, you basically just get in, order, and get out. It's rare to find seating inside and it can feel overwhelming just sitting there trying to enjoy your drink with so many people around. Drinks: We've been there multiple times and you can always expect the same- mid, slightly overpriced, oh- getting some post purchase clarity. But it's the type of slightly regretful decision we continue to make every time. We've gotten the matcha einspanner on several occasions, vanilla iced latte, caramel latte, and the most disgusting Americano known to man. Whether you get the dark or light roast Americano, you will not run away from the burnt and bitter flavor. Service: The line moves quickly, they take your order and get you in and out without a long wait. They also offer stamp cards, buy 10 get the 11th free. What a steal! Gimme 10 more! Overall: All this to say, it's oddly grown to be a valley staple, and represents some bordering LA values- overpriced, overhyped, but for some reason addicting in the fact you always seem to go back. I would say 3.5 but it doesn't allow it, so I'm feeling generous today.

I understand a bad day or a rude customer, but this didn't feel like that. The entire experience felt unwelcoming & unenjoyable.

There is a good amount of seating in the cafe, from normal tables to a couch to lounge on. The interior of the cafe is lined with brick and the warm lighting casts a soft cozy feeling. There is ample space to sit and enjoy your drink. I'd even say it's a good spot to study as it is spacious and does not get too loud. Drinks/food: We've tried the Iced Ube Matcha latte, Iced sea salt latte, Iced Ube Latte, as well as the Ube truffles. I love the ube flavor and it pairs perfectly with their matcha. They don't use the highest quality matcha but the ube flavor carries and still provides a nice tasty drink. The iced coffee was good, a little too sweet and kind of just an average latte, nothing to write home about. The ube truffles are something sweet that hit the spot if you have that sweet ube craving. They are soft and chewy and just the perfect bite. I am definitely biased in general because I really like ube so if you aren't the biggest fan you may not like it Overall this place does make their drinks on the sweeter side so going half sweet is smart if you don't want a blast of sugar. Service: Everyone thus far has been extremely friendly and welcoming! Overall: Cafe 86 is a solid spot if you are in the mood and have a craving for sweet, ube forward drinks and sweets. The menu is fun and unique, especially for anyone who enjoys ube flavors. The cafe itself offers a comfortable, inviting space that works well for hanging out or getting some work done. While the drinks can run on the sweeter side and some of the drinks are just average, the overall experience is still enjoyable. The friendly service and relaxed atmosphere is a calm choice for a new casual cafe stop, particularly if you are there for their ube specialties.
