Of all the newly opened shops AND the older ones (maybe besides Local Fixture) out here, in and around uptown this one stuck out for their FAST and ATTENTIVE service & attention to DETAIL. The team had my order ready before I paid and even answer a few questions I had. I've been in coffee for over 13 years now and I don't believe in judging an entire business then, leaving a significant review after one visit --especially not for a freshly opened spot. I like to try em out a few times bc you never know if it's just an off day, or maybe you got the only good worker that day, etc. It's not snobby and yet it's not basic. Seems like a great spot to bring the experienced or inexperienced. Quick enough to grab and go, nice enough for a date, big enough for a family sized table, quite enough to study at the bar. Hopefully they remain great enough to build that special regular-relationship with the locals. These are all things I would want for my own shop. Wishing your self built biz well. Cheers! read more

I am officially a new Interlude regular I highly recommend this shop to everyone. The coffee is great and the pastries are also a hit. I recommend trying the Honey Piloncillo Shaken Latte or the Interlude house specialty drink, my daughter recommends the Strawberry Matcha. The staff and atmosphere is very inviting and friendly. The owner was very polite and dare I say easy on the eyes. The Interlude is a great addition to Uptown!! read more

Great service and drinks! And I like the look and feel better than Lyft! The staff are really nice too read more

Great service, Great Coffee, Cool atmosphere! 2nd time coming in and both times we had great service and great coffee. Order: We ordered Honey Piloncillo shaken latte. It's the right amount of sweet and coffee balance. This is my go to order, I get 1/2 the sweetness. Their house cold brew is one of our new favorites. Stong foral flavor with a smooth finish. Very easy to drink black. Their banana bread is delicious! Try it, it's worth it. Service: Quick and friendly. Weekends, we coffee shop hop, and so far Interlude is easy to be in and out. Even when there was a line out the door everyone got their coffee fairly quick. They have several baristas on staff and they are all helpful and friendly. Both times we went the owner helped us out and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back read more

Stopped by Interlude Coffee and ordered the cortado--excellent choice. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced with a great espresso flavor and just the right amount of steamed milk. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere made it a great place to relax. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Interlude Coffee - Strawberry Matcha and Cortado coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Whittier, California

The coffee is good, but I didn't like how slow the service was. I was waiting in line a long time (15 mins) and than standing at the cash register they had me waiting even more. They also told me part of what I was ordering wasn't ready and so I might have to wait longer! I think for it being so early, it doesn't make sense to be out or not have someone just dedicated to making the foam on the signature drink. Also, I think for a small my total was $9! At that price I expect my drink much quicker!! I understand they are new but I'm not motivated to return, I'll have to give them another try in a few months read more

Interlude Coffee - Iced Honey Piloncillo Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Whittier, California

Newly opened coffee shop in Uptown Whittier. Came on a Saturday around noon. Place was busy as everyone seemed to want to try it out. Line went quickly and plenty of places to sit. Younger guy at the cashier was very helpful and friendly. Place was very nicely decorated and welcoming. It is dog friendly and there was a couple of tables outside to sit and enjoy with your pup. I ordered their specialty "The Interlude" which was an iced 12oz latte. Had a very nice coffee forward flavor with a cream topper that was not too sweet. It is only available in the 12oz size and did seem a bit pricey at $8.50. They had pastries available which I skipped as they were also pricy at $6-8 each , appears be from an outside bakery. Given the prices would not likely be a place i stop by regularly to grab a coffee to go but would be a great place to meet friends or have a coffee date. read more

Interlude is a high end coffee shop located in Uptown Whittier. The owner, Sam, put a ton of care into renovating this spot (previously Lift) and it shows. He cares a lot about this town and his community. The coffee is high quality and I encourage anyone to try the drip first! The fancy lattes are great too, but nothing beats pure roasted bean juice imo. read more

First week being open! With a full house the vibes were still very mellow. Lots of people working/studying or having quiet conversations. Plenty of tables and additional seating at the bar. Drinks I ordered: (From Left to Right) Cortado, Berries & Cream Matcha and The Interlude. The menu shows their house espresso has notes of chocolate and you can definitely pick up on that in their drinks. *Do note that their menu does have a typo and The Berries & Cream Matcha is not strawberry but it's actually Blueberry!* Cortado & Matcha were good. The interlude unfortunately was just alright. The warm baking spice was nice but I felt everything else lacked. There also wasn't really any sweetness to it and I don't think the cream top really added anything. I'll give this drink another shot at a later date. I'll still be going back to try their other specialty drinks in hopes that maybe the flavors land a little bit better. read more

I took my daughter here for a croissant (for her) and coffee (for me) before work, and I was immensely impressed by the hospitality. I was greeted with such friendly service, and we had a miscommunication about an order, but it was rectified so quickly. As for the order, the pastries seemed outsourced, no big deal; they were fine. The coffee was good though. I ordered an iced Americano and it was a smooth espresso that didn't come across overly bitter. If I could take off half a star, I'd give them a 4.5 because I find it personally frustrating when coffee shops don't open until 7, but that's a nitpick on my end. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Excellent coffee here. Sam the owner let us come in to try the goods. Luis executed the best coffee options. I had 2 of their specialty drinks, 1 iced latte that had cinnamon and other warming spices, 1 hot latte that was made with a house made orange syrup that was incredible and a plain latte that will compete against the very best. This place went from a regular coffee shop to a top notch coffee contender. The renovations are an upgrade for sure. Clean and contemporary. This is the new coffee shop for us in uptown. Good luck guys, Godspeed. read more

Great coffee and I spoke with the owner! So nice he even asked me for my thoughts on placing the new menu screen in different spots. Was totally willing to listen and wanted a customers advice :-)! Lift was to long to make thee drinks this place is already better speed. Plus the taste is amazing. The space is beautiful inside and calming music and playlist. Lots of seating!! read more

First off customer service was great which is what I look for whenever I go anywhere. Second the coffee was delicious. It was my second time coming and I def enjoyed my matcha, tried my friends drink and it was great aswell. Thank you for experience and the coffee. read more

Their Interlude coffee is AMAZING. Aesthetically, it's beautiful. The seats are so comfortable There are plenty of outlets. This is now my favorite coffee shop in Whittier. The owner is also a Whittier local. read more

Don't know who I dealt with but serious attitude. Asking about the pastries I was told a bakery in LA. There was a ride with basically everything read more

I went to interlude today with my two toddlers. I usually don't take my kids to coffee shops because some aren't very kid friendly (understandable) but my experience here was great. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a man which I wasn't sure if he was the manager or owner but he was very friendly and made conversation with my kids. He made coffee suggestions and I went with the Honey Piloncillo Shaken Latte and the Berries and Cream Matcha. I was a big fan of the Honey latte will order again. The Matcha was also good but I expected it a bit more sweeter. Before leaving the same man asked if I would be taking my drinks to go or to enjoy there because of time I took them to go but he did say that they offer coloring pages for kids sooo with that being said I will go back with my kids to enjoy my latte there :) read more

The coffee was ok. But I refuse to pay 9 for an iced coffee and 8.50 for a pastry Total with taxes, 1 iced coffee and 1 pastry $19.56 No Thank You Your large coffees and small coffees include the same amount of espresso shots...so in other words if you want a large it's just extra milk and ice. I will pass on this spot read more

Came here and had the berries and cream matcha, it was solid but I didn't really feel wowed yet. To be fair no coffee shop in Whittier really has a cozy vibe yet, they don't feel like a part of the community and they deserve time to get there. But the decor seems kind of dull compared to the first iteration of Lift, its predecessor. I guess we'll see. read more

I was nearby and figured let me stop by: parking was not the greatest. I was given my drinks and I wasn't offered a carrier I had to ask for one. The carrier was flimsy material. I ordered 3 drinks but was only charged for 2. I think the owner was the one who told me but he gave me no energy. He checked and I wasnt charged. No, "sorry let me ring you up". He was just like anyway....he just said the cashier would ring me up. There was a line so I don't know if he expected me to wait in line again. I told the cashier and he ran me up. If your reading this and saying "what's the problem?" The problem is the energy. Even the cashier was confused cuz he heard me say 3 drinks. I understood it happens but not taking the initiative to make it right annoys me. I was the one who spoke up. I see other people saying the owner introduced themself. I got nothing if that was him. I didn't like the energy from him. The cashier was so sweet and kind. For a $9 matcha your better off going elsewhere. There's Bark Coffee nearby and others. read more

Great for a new coffee shop! Homemade syrups and strong coffee flavor were awesome. Just a little disappointed I didn't know the Interlude drink was going to be unsweetened or perhaps the girls on bar forgot my sweet and condensed milk they seemed a little confused as the crowd of customers poured in. $8 for a basically short Spanish latte is crazy work but again the flavor was fine and better than the average place. the description of the Interlude latte expectation had me trying to justify the price to myself. read more

Tried Interlude Coffee today, June 5th, 2026. At first I was hesitant to go back into this place because it was Lift's old building, yet as soon as you step in you can tell the vibe is much different. Friendlier, cleaner, and better ambiance. The cashier was super attentive and friendly, and had great interaction. I ordered a pour over which ofcourse took a little minute but it was much worth the wait. They said the pastries are for Friday - Sundays, but the warmed cinnamon roll was impressively good. Definetly feels like an aesthically pleasing spot that you can enjoy your coffee and get some work done. read more

Interlude Coffee - strawberry matcha and matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Whittier, California

Coffee latte was good but underwhelming, though I saw someone order the matcha it looked really good. So I'm going to have to come back to try that next time. read more

Pretty underwhelming matcha. I paid $9 for a 16 oz and it definitely wasn't worth the price. The employee who took my order seemed pretty uninterested, which honestly should've been my first clue. Unfortunately, the drink didn't make up for the experience either. read more

Americans was refreshing yet bold. Perfect afternoon iced espresso. Would I go again? Absolutely.

mediocre for the price, coffee was lacking flavor. Staff was okay but would not go back. Space is lacking any personality just another "modern hipster" coffee shop read more

I went to Interlude today June 4, and I have to say it was well worth coming from Montebello to enjoy a great Flat White with almond milk. I also treated myself to a chocolate croissant. The ambience was so warm and inviting. The staff were great friendly and they all had a smile. I will be coming again. Congratulations Sam and Monica. read more
