This is a cool industrial style coffee shop. I walked over from my hotel after going to a concert the night before. I was in need of a little bit of quiet time and some caffeine. There is seating in the front alcove as you walk in, but it was a little loud for me. I opted to grab a stool at a window bar to sip my latte and wake up. There are options for crafter espresso drinks as well as pour over coffee. I got my usual, a vanilla latte. It was well made, and I enjoyed it. The size was a little small for the price, but this is in a touristy location. read more

The latte I got was nice afternoon pick me up. The cashier and barista who greeted me was very friendly! Can't say much about the environment since I didn't stay long - but it did look like a nice place to relax or do some work. It wasn't too busy when I visited, and for being a cafe on the walk of fame, there is a decent amount of indoor seating. read more

I got the iced matcha (with no milk and 50% sweet). I thought it was perfect. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. The inside was spacious, clean and cool. Service was fine. I recommend stepping in if you need to take a break from the heat and the throngs of people outside milling around Hollywood Blvd. read more

We sat for the Pride parade in front of this coffee shop. We scored! Great coffee, treats , and clean bathroom. Customer service was excellent, especially how busy it was. They all had smiles on their faces and greeted us kindly. Wouldn't hesitate to come here again when in the area. 6/12/25 read more

I'd never been to an Intelligentsia Coffee shop before, but after this experience I will search them out just for another chai latte with oat milk! Location is in Hollywood and it can be dicey with all the craziness of the walk of fame and unhoused folks. That being said, we dropped in on a Sunday afternoon to grab a hot bevvy after seeing a show at The Pantages. We both ordered the chai latte with oat milk, and hachi machi it was DELICIOUS. I've had many a chai latte before but this was hands down the creamiest, most perfectly spiced chai I've ever had. 20/10 would recommend! I only wish there were more Intelligentsia shops around. read more

My experience here was pretty bad!! I did not expect for the barista to grab his hair with hands and make other adjustments without even heading to the sink to wash his hands!! You're preparing food!!! Wash your hands, especially after rubbing your hands thru your hair!! Either you don't care, or your employees need a visit from the local health department! You need to train your employees on handling food!!! read more

Parking in this area is tough. Metered parking. The Swiss and ham croissant is a no. It was hard and cold and not worth the price. The coffee was good. A bit expensive for the size. Great area to people watch. read more

Terrible experience on my first visit. I had high expectations for this coffee shop, but it was a complete disappointment. My iced Americano was dull and weak so much so that I ended up going to Starbucks afterward just to get a proper one that actually hit the spot. The worst part, though, was the ham and cheese sandwich. It was served cold, and no one even offered to heat it up. I took one bite and instantly regretted it. I asked if it could be warmed, but was told no since I had already taken a bite which is understandable, but honestly, it should've been served warm in the first place. To make things worse, it was clearly a leftover from the day before. At 7 a.m., it's pretty obvious when something isn't fresh. I did get a refund, which I appreciate, but I definitely won't be back. read more

Cute spot with strong coffee & fast service Lots of places to sit inside or outside. My coffee was good but tasted too watered down even tho it had 4 shots of espresso. I didn't like the mocha; it had no coffee flavor. But overall the coffee effect was strong so it was worth it. Also a bit pricier than other coffee shops. & parking is a little hard to find since it's street parking in Hollywood. read more

Coffee taste great It's on a busy corner but plenty of seating on a Saturday afternoon. The ambiance is nice and quiet inside. But if you like to sit outside and people watch. There's a nice covered view to the Hollywood strip read more

Was around the Hollywood area and wanted to try a new coffee place! The coffee shop is super nice, has a lot of outlets. Definitely peaceful enough to get work done! The service was great, the baristas were super helpful and attentive. I had told them how I love a sweet coffee and they had recommended me Avena iced coffee. I think the coffee was decent... for all ingredients the coffee brought it wasn't as unique as I thought it would have been. I would say this place got stars for how welcoming the baristas were, unfortunately I wasn't fully sold on this coffee /: read more

It's all in the name... Intelligentsia Is it Italian, is it a status, is it something to strive for?!? The shop is sleek and modern in a place where nothing else is. Smack dab in the center of gritty Hollywood Blvd. is Intelligentsia and I had to think "what Dummy put this nice place here?' None the less I needed a bathroom break and a coffee shop seemed like a perfect respite. Upon asking, the bathroom lock code was expertly whispered. I found the restrooms just like the lobby sleek modern and very clean. The cursory purchase was a smart soda of some sort I chose lemon lime. The can promised it was not only wholesome but beneficial to my well-being. My cash was declined so a credit card it was for a simple can of soda. The soda was $5 bucks. So who's not so Intelligentsia now. I decided to sit and enjoy said well-being soda and a request for the Wifi pass word was expertly whispered. As I was leaving I noticed no garbage cans anywhere so I just set my empty can on the counter by the door. My takeaway was no cash and no trash. read more

Intelligentsia Coffee was a lovely reprieve from the chaos of the Hollywood strip. They had a nice balance of "trendy" coffee drinks on their menu as well as the classics. I tried an espresso tonic, which almost felt like I was drinking a cocktail with the additional of the orange bitters, but was still quite good. Seems like a very solid coffee shop in this part of LA read more

I've been using Intelligentsia black cat espresso at home for a while now so I was really excited to try a latte from their own coffee shop. The coffee shop was clean and very open, definitely a lot of space to work or hangout. They have a lot of merch too, so you can bring home coffee or espresso beans (I recommend it!). The two baristas were friendly and I ordered the avena latte. It was delicious! Definitely worth giving a try. read more

The burrito was a no-go the potatoes inside were literally still cold, and it definitely wasn't worth the price. We also tried the chai latte, which was just okay, and the signature vanilla coffee, which had a slightly sour taste and was also just alright. read more

Ive seen Intelligentsia in Whole Foods for quite some time and wasn't blown away with what I've purchased so I was a bit apprehensive visiting their coffee shop on Hollywood Blvd. the store sits on the corner with tons of windows in the modern decor. It's very clean inside and the baristas were incredibly friendly. The pastries looked a little blah to be honest so I didn't bother trying one. I looked through the specialty drink section of the menu and found the Avena Latte very interesting with oat milk, orange peel, ginger, vanilla and cinnamon but I'm not about that cayenne pepper so I ordered one without it. DAYUMMM was this a good drink! The cinnamon hits first then a taste that reminds me of panna cotta comes through with mild flavors of ginger are left on the tongue. This is a destination coffee for me and I will forever stop at Intelligentsia coffee to have it. I gave it four stars for the lackluster pasty selection but perhaps I'll try one and see if it changes my mind. Maybe there's more to the food menu than I realize? read more

Staff very rude, half full cup of sour coffee, you are better off at Dunkin Donuts. The guy with glasses cused me out from behind the counter after left our drinks behind stuff at the end of the counter for 10 min. read more

Cute coffee and pastry location in the heart of Hollywood right across the street from the Hollywood stars. Good coffee although I was dining in and wish they would have put the Lattes in a nice cozy mug. The presentation of the pastries in a bag and coffee in a cardboard cup could be better. I'd suggest putting pastries in a plate for dine in customers. Otherwise the coffee was hot and they heated up the almond croissant and cinnamon roll that tasted great. Average customer service, could be more friendly. read more

Expensive matcha latte and not great service. This place is super convenient and the matcha latte is decent but I wouldn't be back because it's overpriced and the staff, while friendly, were not super attentive. I waited a long time to be served and the staff were pretty unprofessional. The space itself if kind of nice. Plenty of indoor seating and on a weekday morning it wasn't terribly loud. Plenty of people with their laptops coming I. To do their thing. Great views of Hollywood Blvd so also good for people watching. read more

Location is right on Hollywood Blvd. Expensive but the cashier was friendly, explained what the new latte was, took my order, and my iced latte was ready soon after that.

I was making a few laps on Hollywood Blvd when I suddenly had a thirst. I was looking for somewhere, anywhere really to grab a quick beverage when all of a sudden, Intelligentsia appeared before me. It looked like the perfect spot, so I made my way inside to check out their selection. The Intelligentsia name was not foreign to me, as they have locations in several major metropolitan markets; I also remember seeing the name while browsing Yelp since they have a location in Manhattan. Walking in, I was pleasantly surprised to see a spacious interior with a large ordering counter, an open production area, and ample space to sit. They have mostly everything one would expect from a coffee shop, and since it was hot out I was looking at their cold tea selections. An iced black tea sounded perfect, and indeed it hit the spot. Service was friendly, and overall this was a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the boulevard. read more

my favorite iced coffee in LA. maple syrup and salt is the best combo. staff members are so nice and kind.

Had a great experience here today. The shop is clean and well put together. A great spot to grab a cup of coffee and people watch. The coffee itself was really good. Max at the counter was very helpful and provided great customer service. Honestly, he's the main reason I'll be coming back to this place. read more

Intelligentsia Coffee - Cold Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We planned to go to lunch nearby but the vendor was closed so we headed here for a quick coffee before lunch (and hoped to get a good clean bathroom too). The aesthetic is very modern and minimalist, which is nice and comfortable, especially in the summer heat (well air conditioned). The menu is simple but plentiful. My mom is relatively picky about her espressos and cappuccinos and she loved her cappuccino. I ordered an iced oat matcha latte with a dash of sweetener and it was great. Overall, a nice sweet spot in the middle of the Hollywood when you need a little break (or a bathroom stop -- if you're a paying customer). read more

Absolutely delicious coffee option and a little bit of respite on Hollywood Blvd. My friend and I were looking for a quick pit stop to catch up and warm up over a great cup of coffee. Intelligentsia definitely did the trick. My pistachio latte was rich, creamy, foamy and delicious. I would have licked my cup if I could have! I'm not a coffee snob but I can definitely say I really enjoy the coffee here! I will definitely be back and next time, perhaps with a laptop in hand to get some work done. read more
