    First things first, parking. No matter where you go in LA, the parking is god awful!! This part of town felt like San Francisco because of the lack of parking, small streets, and very hilly lol. Gorgeous though! This coffee shop is located right in the middle of the intersection so you can't miss it. We managed to find street parking that was free, a few blocks down and then just walked on over. They have a few little tables and seating outside and some inside. Gorgeous vintage feel inside and got super busy after we ordered so looks like we got there just in time. The young lady working wasn't smiling and seemed like she didn't feel like being there but at least my order got taken care of lol. No issues and came out pretty quickly. For whatever reason their straws were on the other side/end of the pickup counter so I was definitely lost and confused at first. Also, thankfully they don't use plastic or paper straws but instead they're like these bamboo straws? I'm not quite sure but they are sturdy and worked well! We ordered the Shamrock (iced matcha latte) and an iced Salted Butterscotch latte. Both were fantastic and super delicious! Strong and perfectly sweet, would definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area! Great prices as well for what you get. IG: @ammysalamii

    Cute coffee spot with a great espresso. I got the salted butterscotch and although it was a little on the milker side, it was good. Always hope shops add more shots to multiple sizes but this one was smaller (1 shot - 12oz) and small (2 shots 16oz). Baristas were nice and bathroom was clean.

    Yummy Salted Butterscotch Latte on the left  And on the right hazelnut shaken espresso

    Coming from a real coffee addict the ice butterscotch latte was everything. It is my favorite and I am definitely coming back. The baristas were so sweet and helped us. It was our first time there. It's is really nice inside and calm just good vibes !

    Pumpkin Matcha

    I came here to get some work done while I was visiting a friend in Cali. Definitely great cafe ambience, and I loved the jazz music they were playing! There was plenty of natural light. It was pretty easy to do work, but it does get a little loud when the workers are making drinks, but that's to be expected. Especially in a smaller cafe like this. As for my drink, there was definitely pumpkin and matcha, but it tasted too weak in my opinion. Overall, definitely a cute place! Thanks for having me :-)

    Fantastic small neighborhood sidewalk spot. There may be few reasons to come to Adams Square Mini Park, but this coffee shop is high on the list. PARKING No dedicated lot but there is plenty of free street parking everywhere. LOCATION Directly across from gallery and cute mini park for kids. (Be careful crossing the street) SEATING Inside seating on hot days Sidewalk and Park seating on temperate days. DRINKS Many regularly brewed menu items as well as seasonal favorites. My friends are regular here and recommend that you stray from your "regular order" and try something new. FOOD didn't try anything, but some vegan pastries to choose from. SERVICE I've been here only in the morning when the place is usually quite busy, but service is prompt and coffee is hot.

    Salter Butterscotch
    Tyler J.

    Iced salted butterscotch was pretty solid. Coffee flavor was nice and strong, no need for an extra shot. I would order again.

    First time coming here. This is the first time I encounter switching milk to half&half is $1.50 and the serve said "half&half milk is expensive thats why". I think that's too much other places they charge .50-1.00 I got cheeky matcha got regular milk because server said half&half cost them a lot. The drink taste like milk with rose flavor which is I like the rose flavor. But I couldn't taste the matcha. Also, got another drink Brown sugar shaken espresso the milk for that is oat milk if we change the milk to regular is $1. The drink is very light. It felt like drink ing milk with water down. Couldn't taste the coffee. I love coffee and I've been to a lot of coffee shop and I think this is the worst coffee shop I have been to in Glendale.

    Mean Matcha

    The mean matcha is delicious! It's a latte with vanilla so it tastes like ice cream. I worked from here once. The music was really loud so do bring headphones. There's tables outside too so I was able to take a meeting outside where it was much quieter. Free street parking. Staff are nice.

    Iced mocha with oatmilk; Salted Caramel Latte
    Caryl Keith B.

    Such a hidden gem! I love unsuspecting coffee spots, and KAFN totally surprised me in the best way possible. Walked in to find it buzzing with happy caffeine lovers. The salted caramel latte made my husband swoon. My iced mocha, mellow and oat-milky, was a little sip of happiness. Bonus points for the charming neighborhood. 10/10 would caffeinate again

    Cute store
    Julie N.

    This coffee shop was out of the way for me and there is no parking lot, but I will definitely go back because their coffee was so good. Here's what we ordered... Vintage Vanilla latte: Excellent Salted Caramel latte: Excellent The lady who helped us was very friendly at this cute store and our coffees came out quickly. We were there early in the morning on a weekend, so we were able to find a seat indoors to enjoy our coffee. They also had seating outside as well.

    Kafn is one of the few explicitly LGBTQ-friendly spaces in Glendale, and for that, I love them. The coffee is pretty good, too. I would love a second location, ideally in downtown Glendale.

    Laid back vibe, friendly staff and delicious beverages. Needed someplace to hang while waiting for my mom while she had a doc visit. Found this little neighborhood cafe. Commandeered a high top for my desk, ordered a croissant and a matcha latte. Just what I expected. Available WiFi to connect the laptop to and music to work to. If I'm ever back in the area I would revisit. Thanks Kafn.

    Is it an ideal place to study?

    It's difficult to answer someone else's "ideal". But I found it fine for filling out job applications and writing cover letters. It can get a little noisy like any coffee shop and there are not a ton of tables.… 

    How do you pronounce "kafn"?

    "Caffeine" but wife calls it "coffin" " lol

    Is there currently indoor seating?

    Yes, as of October 2022!

    Do you have AC?

    Yes, a new system installed when we opened. Even so on the hottest days it can work pretty hard to keep up but is never uncomfortable. It’s a vintage building and sitting by the window facing the sun can still get a little warm.

    Do they roast their own espresso?

    Not yet. It is roasted in the Bay Area by Manufatory. We are looking into setup a roasting operation in a warehouse in montrose since one of our Baristas also has a small roasting business.

    Is there a seasonal drink menu this fall and winter?

    In addition to our special menu, we have a few things off book that are pretty cool. We are trying to avoid a “secret menu” ala In and Out Burger, but thing are changing faster than the printer.… 

    Does Kafn offer any decaf coffee drinks/lattes?

    Absolutely! All of our drinks are available as decaf and we offer decaf Americanos for brewed coffee. We can't brew a carafe of decaf and guarantee it's freshness, hence the espresso based solution. When we introduce the pour over station we can…

    Surprisingly I have one been to a Philz Coffee a couple of times before and it's been years since…read moreI've been! This was also my very first time at this location, and I must say it was quite a treat! The coffee shop is conveniently located right across from the Americana, so you can easily street park or park at the mall and walk over. It was busy when I arrived on a Friday afternoon, but there were still tables available both inside had outside. The chairs are not the comfiest, but the shop is still very clean and well maintained! When I approached the counter, I was greeted by the friendly employees who were busy preparing orders. This gave me the opportunity to peruse their unique menu and settle upon a latte to order. My sweet tooth was in effect and I opted for the Tiramisu latte with oat milk and was asked if sweet was ok! I thought it was so cool how you're able to customize the drink as you please and bonus points for no charge for nondairy milk. It was very affordable at $6.85. My latte came out pretty quickly and I marveled at the cocoa powdered topping. It truly tasted like a dessert and was so rich and indulgent yet somehow I didn't feel gross after drinking it. The oat milk was creamy and perfectly frothed and the espresso was well balanced. I had a dance class that night and it gave me just the right amount of energy to make it through the class yet still manage to sleep fine that night! I will definitely return next time I'm in the area as a few other menu items sounded equally enticing and the customer service was so impeccable!

    This was my first time trying Philz Coffee. It didn't disappoint. Coffee tasted good, it was…read moreperfectly made. It was not too sweet and had the perfect amount of creamer. Since it was my first time, I placed the order online. So I don't mess up the order and hold the line by deciding what to order. The pick up process was kind of confusing cause there were no sign for online order pick up. I had to go to the register and ask about the pick up. The young lady who helped was nice and explained how pick up works. Appreciate the helpfulness. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating area. There are several tables inside and I notice couple of tables outside. Store was very clean and well maintained. They also had sample cookies by the register for customers to try which was a nice gesture . This coffee shop is located in walking distance from Americana which makes it a great spot to grab coffee after shopping. There is street parking available and Americana/ Glendale Galleria are another option for parking. I will be back to try different coffees , since the menu looks different than other coffee places.

We luckily found street parking up front, otherwise they have a small street nearby that you can probably park in as well. Only two people were ahead of us when we walked in but shortly after, the place filled up with the line almost out the door! There was only one worker but she made it work and she was fast! Cute decor and vibes inside. I wanted to try the pistachio bliss that everyone seemed to rave about but since their seasonal menu was out, I went for the toffee nut iced latte. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, cute cups though! Something about the drink I got was a little off putting. Idk if it was whatever spice they used but I was not crazy about it. I definitely want to come back and try the pistachio at some point though! Getting out of my parking spot was rough. Busy street but also some annoying guy parked in the red zone behind me, basically bumper to bumper and then another girl in front had A LOT of room in front of her and just didn't give me enough room. I luckily made it out but very annoying! Anyway, still looking forward to coming back to try their pistachio bliss! IG: @ammysalamii
