Pistachio latte
Nancy B.

This really is like 2.5 stars. Maybe it was just my order but I got an iced pistachio latte and it wasn't good at all. I usually love pistachio anything but this wasn't it at all. My husband agreed that it wasn't good at all. Maybe I'd have to try something else. But I won't be back. Got dropped off. Not sure of the parking situation.

On a whim, I came here with one of my friends and loved the horchata latte. I returned recently and loved it again. The staff is super friendly and the coffee hits a nice balance with sweetness and bitterness. I also had the pistachio cheesecake and it was lovely too!

Vanilla iced latte

I was exploring downtown Glendale when I stumbled upon La Goccia, tucked away under an office building. Their iced vanilla latte is delicious.

I stopped here for a latte after lunch and it was the perfect pick me up. They have plenty of seating on the patio. The seating inside is a bit more limited, but if the weather is good you should have no issues finding a seat outside. I ordered the pistachio latte and it was not too sweet, but sweet enough, and had a great flavor. The drink was ready quickly and the staff were super nice. I would come back!

Regular coffee MAY2025

I'm not a big fan of illy coffee but I thought I would give it another try. This coffee house has both indoor and outdoor seating, pick and choose your vibe. I ordered a regular drip coffee and if you order it for here they will serve it in a ceramic cup. The coffee was nice and hot and the flavor was better than in my past experiences.

Bagel, croissant, matcha latte

Great cafe with a nice owner. Got a bagel with cream cheese and they loaded it completely. Got a caramel latte and my friend got a matcha latte. They were both sweet enough and gave the little kick of energy we needed in the morning. The overall vibe is chill and relaxed.

The pistachio latte is one of the best drinks I've ever had in my life. I actually savored every last drop of that coffee haha and I don't even talk about coffee like that . Also, the café has such an artistic, cultural feel. You can tell you're supporting a small business, but in the best way . Support small business!! I felt like I was traveling somewhere else in the world when I went here and I couldn't eat the pastries because I'm vegan, but they looked so decadent. There's also a beautiful fountain right across the street. If you want to sit outside somewhere pretty after you get your drink. I will definitely be back. The service was sweet and efficient. I'm still dreaming about that pistachio latte.

went to check out this place for some coffee and heard they were known for their pistachio latte. Lately I've been into horchata lattes, and they had both ... so we got both! LMAO. both were really good, but I definitely liked the pistachio latte more (I can see why it's so popular). The pistachio flavor is really strong and they add in crushed pistachios to add a bit more texture to the drink. For both the horchata latte & the pistachio, they had good flavors, but I barely tasted coffee in the drink. For coffees with such strong flavors, I feel like it also needs to have a more stronger coffee flavor to have a better balance. Other than that, the service and place were very nice :)

Pistachio latte
Cecilia H.

Stopped by for some caffeine and ordered the iced pistachio latte. It was delicious and super creamy. The pistachio flavor is very prominent. It is a perfect mix of nutty and coffee flavor. It is definitely better than Philz and may be my new coffee spot whenever I'm in Glendale.

Food is delicious! Service is 100% fast and staff and owner are friendly. Feels like home! Ambience is cozy.

My cousin brought me here for the first time and omggggg the pistachio latte was sooo good!! Im not usually an ice coffee girlie but it was really good! Even the hot one was amazing! Owner was also really kind!

NY cheesecake
Katherine M.

Listen I am a sucker for pistachio lattes and this one by far has to be my favorite! It is so rich and creamy, you can taste the nuttiness and the richness of the coffee. I really enjoyed the little crushed pieces of pistachio as it gave it a nice crunch. I also tried the white mocha latte, but this one was TOO sweet for me. It didn't have a flavor that really stood out to me. As we ordered we also saw this lovely slice of NY cheesecake & couldn't resist. It was so smooth and delicious! It had the right texture of creaminess and it wasn't overly sweet! Only thing here was the price we spent $26 on two medium iced lattes and a slice of cheesecake! It was a little too much for three items, but if I do come back it'll be for a pistachio latte alone.

Menus
Aureli R.

Great service, they were very friendly and the Ham Sandwich was great! The bread was very soft and everything tasted very fresh. I got the chai tea latte iced which was good, and my friend got a soy latte and loved it. Will definitely be back! We studied for a while comfortably and the owner was super nice :-)

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

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

Upon looking at the menu, the team member didn't greet or ask if we had questions, it felt like he had to stop what he was doing because we walked in. Lately, I've been enjoying Matcha, specifically matcha lattes. While I understand that every shop makes their differently, when I order, its typically following up with questions such as asking dairy alternatives, sweetener, etc.. none of those were ask which left me feeling a little uncertain with what I ordered, but felt out of place so I didn't feel confident enough to speak up. Despite the lobby looking busy, there was only 1 person with a drink ahead of us and I get my item not long after someone gets their Lavender something. Get my matcha latte, looks nice, presentation is there as the milk and matcha have a nice gradient effect, however, upon the first sip, im met with clumps of unwhisked matcha. Unsweetened and unwhisked matcha. My husband and I bought two so it was either $14 or $16 dollars (he paid, not me). I took it home and tried to whisked it myself but didn't too good of a job. Wish I had photographed what it looked like before, but theres only a table or two outside which was occupied by someone holding an business meeting and not a lot of room to stand inside.

When we walked in, it was a quaint quiet cafe and had an inviting atmosphere. We didn't get his name, unfortunately, but at the register the very nice gentleman gave us recommendations on what sweet coffees we can try. He recommended the Spanish Latte as a sweet iced coffee and I, myself, love sweetened condensed milk and so we both ordered it. Just as promised it was nice and sweet. Had more of a milkyness to it and not much strong coffee flavor if what you desire is the flavor of the bean. As for food, we ordered the Smoked Salmon Croissant and Turkey Baguette. Both light and not too heavy and delicious. On the side, it came with a nicely portioned side mixed green salad and a very tasty tangy vinaigrette. It was not a long wait at all after we ordered and it was a nice and quiet lunch. The music was not too loud, so we were able to enjoy having a conversation. It was such a cute place and I would definitely love to go again.

One thing I appreciated immediately was the parking. There is plenty of street parking, a parking structure directly across the street, and additional parking nearby, so getting there was surprisingly easy. As soon as we walked in, the owner, who was sitting near the entrance, warmly welcomed us. We initially started walking toward the cozy booth section in the back, but were told that area is reserved for dinner service and wasn't open... We weren't the only ones confused, as another guest came in shortly after and tried to sit there as well. That left us deciding between a few café tables downstairs, outdoor seating, or the upstairs loft. We first tried upstairs, but there were only a couple of two-top tables available. One was occupied by guests working on laptops, and the seating felt a little close together. The remaining tables were reserved for larger parties, so we ended up heading back downstairs. One of the available booths faced the restroom, which isn't my favorite, but I simply sat on the opposite side and it worked out just fine. Once we got settled, everything improved. Our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. I ordered the French baguette turkey sandwich, while we also tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which both the server and the owner highly recommended. The owner even mentioned it's what he personally eats almost every day, and I can see why, it was delicious. We also ordered fries to share along with two hot lattes: a chai tea latte and a mocha. Both coffee drinks were excellent and easily some of the highlights of our meal. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a coffee date. Before dessert, the owner recommended the mini pancakes and the waffles, with ice cream. They both looked great, but I've had similar desserts at several other cafés recently, so I wanted to try something different. I ordered the brownie with ice cream instead, and I'm so glad I did. It was rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. One thing the owner emphasized was that they use fresh ingredients without preservatives and focus on quality. After our meal, I believe it. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with care. Our total for two people, including tip, came to about $120. It's a little on the pricier side for a café, but you're also paying for the ambiance, quality ingredients, attentive service, and the overall experience. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit. My only suggestion would be to make the seating situation a little clearer for first-time guests, since several of us naturally gravitated toward the closed dining section. Other than that, the welcoming hospitality, quality food, excellent coffee, and relaxing atmosphere made this a place I'd happily return to.

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 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.
