    I have history with Lamill Coffee--like real history. Back in 2008, this place felt like a quiet luxury before I even had the words for it. Coming back now... it feels familiar, just with a few shifts. The lavender coffee is still beautifully made--smooth, fragrant, and intentional. They haven't lost their touch when it comes to quality. But at around $10, it definitely made me pause for a second. That said, there's still a lot to love. The food and drinks are consistently solid, and the space itself remains one of the highlights. Plenty of outdoor seating in both the front and back, and it still gives that calm, tucked-away feeling. One thing that was a bit of a bummer though-no outlets. For a place you want to sit, stay, and maybe get a little work or journaling done, that absence stands out more than I expected. Parking is manageable-street or behind the building if you catch a spot. I still have a soft spot for Lamill. It's just one of those places I come back to with a little more intention now, and still appreciate for what it is.

    I wouldn't waste your time here when you have so many other great options in the area. Such a bummer as this was my go to spot 5 years ago. Stopped in around 8:30am and took a few minutes for anyone to acknowledge me. There was someone standing at the register and just avoided eye contact as I guess they weren't on register so instead of saying "hey someone will be with you soon" they just ignored me. Started to order but they were out of cold brew (at 8:30am...) so got an iced Americano and a pastry. They stayed consistently busy but I was able to snag a table inside. Overall feels like this place is more for the aesthetic than the actual coffee like it used to be. I will say the pastry was delicious, but for the high price point I wouldn't go back.

    Saturday morning must visit, fresh pastries and drinks is what I was told. The hot chocolate was frothy, sweet and delicious. Croissants were cold... the bacon cheddar and chive scone was highly anticipated but fell flat. Very salty and unimpressive. It is fragrant and cozy aspect to the lobby/sitting area. Outdoor seating options and plenty of choices. Clean one stall restrooms.

    My wife needed to use the restroom, so we stopped in. I ordered a coffee at the counter while she went inside. I told the barista it was my first time there and asked for recommendations, as I was looking for an iced latte. They suggested I could have any drink made as a latte, so I went with the Vanilla Bean Latte, which they said was a popular choice. We visited during the week around lunchtime and it was very busy inside and out. We managed to find a recently vacated table, but it wasn't cleared, so it remained messy for the duration of our visit. We didn't stay long because we had other things to do. I would come back for a latte!

    Pretty boxes their tea comes in (Earl Grey on top, Moroccan Mint below)

    I have never been here before; only enjoying their teas at a spa that I was familiar with. I had swiped an Earl Grey from there to give to an associate, and they loved it so much that they came here to buy their own box, in addition to getting me one of my favorites, Moroccan Mint. I know this has nothing to do with the taste of the tea, but the box design is beautiful. Long overdue, I wanted to return the favor, and knew I'd have to make my way over to their shop to do so. I do not go into this neighborhood often, so I tried to map everything out prior, including checking out yelp. One thing I was immediately put off by was the fee that is added to the checks. It didn't appear as though this could have the option of being removed either. Either way, this was one of the rare times I'll just take one for the team. Parking is tricky, but I found a spot just past the light on the corner. Walking over, I encountered a tiny line, but glad I checked out photos on here as I knew exactly where to find the boxes of hot tea. Once I arrived to the front, a friendly girl greeted me and asked if I wanted anything else. Of course, I gave into a chocolate croissant since I saw it sitting there, so I might as well. Offered me a bag after ringing me up, and handed me the requested receipt. I hate to say, but the croissant was pretty darn good. Quite flaky where pieces were falling off (but if you know me, I still ate those fallen pieces). Pleasantly surprised as I checked out my receipt, there was no fee tacked onto this purchase; perhaps since it was a retail one (although the croissant was not, but it was to go?), it was just the appropriate tax charged, and that was it. I still wanted to kick myself for spending nearly $30 for those three items, but it was a trip that was worth it after all. Due to the nice girl, selection of items being in stock, and the really good chocolate croissant, I won't mind visiting again.

    Surprised to see so many mixed reviews about this Silverlake coffee shop. I thought it was great, and the menu featured a few very cool, unique options I knew I had to try. For this first visit, I went with their Hong Kong milk tea. Now, I was initially looking for a lower caffeine option, and it is only after I ordered that I decided to look up the caffeine content online and I saw it's actually very loaded with caffeine. But, that's on me. The actual drink itself was great. Actually, one of my favorite drinks that I tried during my trip. I will say the top is loaded with a lot of froth, but the actual tea itself is wonderful. Nicely creamy, perfect balance of sweetness, tea flavor is still strong, and just hits the spot in every way I wanted. Really recommend trying it even as a first timer like myself.

    Vibes here are always fantastic, thanks to staff and managers, a chill place to catch up with a friend over brunch. They've got a limited batch of pastries with fun combos like blue corn cake loaves and a fairly affordable brunch menu. I loved my veggie quiche, though I wish it had more veggies beyond celery and artichoke (?). The side salad though made up for it. Light, fresh, bright.

    The line took so long, we probably waited around 30min on a Saturday at 11:00am. The staff was really nice though. They greeted us with such fun and upbeat energy, which is an amazing feat thinking about how many people he had to interact with. I ordered the spinach feta danish pastry, and then the mixed berry pop tart. Spinach feta pastry -- delicious. Yum! The pastry part was so buttery and flaky and well baked. So delicious, I would definitely get it again. The mixed berry pop tart was good... I wouldn't get it again though. I don't know. Nothing to write home about. What I was most excited about: The Ube Cream Coconut Matcha Latte -- it was okay. The matcha latte part was meh, the ube part was meh. It just didn't hit that well. I miss Porto's ube matcha. I don't know. Flavors just didn't go crazy, so yeah. It was a wonderful vibe, but I don't think I'd necessarily come back. Although I might because it's kind of the only coffee place nearby the reservoir and I love walking around.

    I used to love going to Lamill every morning for several years. I would tell all my friends how amazing their drinks and food were. The ambiance was great, and it's located in such a wonderful neighborhood. The servers were friendly, and everything just felt right in the world. I'm not sure what happened over the last six months, but everything has changed. It started with the premixed matcha--after that, I stopped coming in regularly. Then I remembered they used to have some great loose-leaf teas, but again I was disappointed, receiving bitter tea leaves that were nearly undrinkable. I also remember coming in on weekends and enjoying a breakfast sandwich or avocado toast. That's gone too. Now, they only offer the same pastries over and over again--uninspired and bland. There are better cafés in this neighborhood now. I'm sad to see how far Lamill has fallen. Would not recommend.

    Good coffee, pastries are fresh. They have gluten and vegan options. Lots of space to hang out and do work or homework.

    Love it. I actually tried to get here in Friday morning afterstopping at Maury's, but was a little tight on timing. Finally tried it during lunch time. I got the iced seasonal drink and it was splendid. My coworker got the orange blossom latte and he said that one was too milky.

    Love this coffee spot! Staff is always super friendly and it's my top 3 matcha places. There is…read morealso lots of street parking and a nearby 7/11 you can also park at which makes this convenient since west la parking usually sucks! I always get the matcha with extra cream top:) Definitely should be on everyone's matcha spots to try!

    Stopped by Stereoscope for a cortado and had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that…read moreimmediately stood out was the barista's knowledge. She was genuinely engaged in talking about coffee, understood the beans she was serving, and was able to answer questions without hesitation. That's becoming harder to find these days, and it definitely added to the overall experience. The cortado itself was well executed. The temperature was right where it should be, allowing the flavors to come through immediately without having to wait for the drink to cool down. I was able to clearly taste the notes in the coffee, and the balance between the espresso and milk was excellent. The body held together nicely throughout the drink and never felt thin or watered down. My only critique would be that the crema and microfoam leaned a little more matte and foamy than glossy. It wasn't enough to take away from the drink, but a slightly silkier, shinier texture would have elevated it even further. That said, this was an Ethiopian natural, which can be a bit trickier to dial in and pair with milk while still preserving the character of the coffee, so it's a fairly minor criticism. Overall, a very good cortado from a shop that clearly cares about coffee. Good execution, proper temperature, clear flavor separation, and knowledgeable staff always make for a better coffee experience.
