I stopped by this place during a day of running errands. It was towards the end of the day, and I think there were going to close soon by the time I ordered. Ube latte: it was really good. I'm usually a little skeptical when non Filipino places claim they have an ube flavored item, but their latte has the distinctive flavor. It was pretty tasty. I liked it! 4.5 stars. Crispy chicken sandwich: the chicken was decent but it tasted like it was fried in old oil. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I could tell it would have been amazing if it were fried in fresh oil. Given I arrived about 30 mins before closing I'm going to cut them some slack. 3 stars Anyway if I were in the area again, I'd give them another shot.
The ambiance here is very unique, clean and spacious. The staff is nice and helpful if it's your first time here. I got the Matcha Latte and I believe one of their classic latte's. It was water based which is perfect for my stomach and didn't hurt it at all. The cream top made my matcha super creamy and enjoyable since I am not a fan of the strong earthy taste. For food, I got the prosciutto arugula burrata with truffle oil toast and I added avocado. This is my dream toast and I am so happy to discover this place. It was HUGE so I couldn't finish it in one sitting, it filled me up for half of the day with only eating half of it. Nothing was overpowering and all the ingredients balanced well with each other. My boyfriend's ube toast was delicious. Not too sweet and had a nice crunch/ube flavor to it. Hoping to return here when we visit LA again!
Such a cute little spot with clean aesthetic and relaxing vibe. The coffee is delicious , and food as well. For me , they have pretty generous portions, I could finish mine. Also, I like the service , always welcoming. Definitely one of the cafes i recommend to visit whether you want a good coffee, catch up with friends or get work done
A question that I find myself (unfortunately) asking often these days is: why does east side LA have all the best coffee shops? Laveta is a coffeeshop in Echo Park that had been on my list of coffeeshops to try for some time. I was finally able to visit on Boxing Day. Laveta was pretty quiet around 9 am when we arrived, which I thought was because of Christmas. The staff were really nice and our drinks came out quickly. I got the matcha misto here, which I really enjoyed. This consisted of an iced matcha latte with cream sweetened with agave. The matcha was good and the cream wasn't overly sweet. My favorite thing about this place is the aesthetic, which is minimal and neutral. I'd be a regular here if it wasn't on the other side of town.
Really good coffee and breakfast sandwich was really delicious. I see why it's a favorite for this coffee shop. Love the patio got some good work done while enjoying the LA skyscrapers. Thank you Laveta I will be back!
The inside is so cute and simple! They have seats and mini tables around but I wouldn't come here w more than 2-3+ in your party if you want to sit, drink/eat and talk. Laveta latte (left) was surprisingly good. I thought it would be too sweet just based on the color bc I like my coffee strong. Def recommend adding an extra shot for those who are the same. Andante (right) too sweet for my liking bc of the sweet cream but to each their own! Breakfast sandwich with sour dough is so good, just a tiny bit too salty on some bites. Small parking area + street parking
this is like private equity matcha. i swear Stagger in ktown has the same exact powdery taste - super unappealing and really sweet, even at 50% sugar. açaí bowl is okay. Yall whatever like this is another generic "aesthetic" cafe frequented by 20/30 year olds there are better quality places in the area. guy who made my matcha was nice to me, as a person
Laveta is a cool spot with a nice atmosphere and plenty of space to hang out. The food looked good, and honestly, this feels more like a place to visit for their food, or one of their iced drinks rather than for a coffee-focused experience. As for the cortado, it was pretty average and not something I'd recommend if you're trying to get a feel for the quality of their coffee program. The drink lacked a lot and I couldn't even identify any of the notes. They also don't offer any mugs either which is a major negative for me especially at a nice place like that. I'd possibly come back to try the food or an iced drink, but if your goal is to evaluate their coffee through a cortado, this probably isn't the place I'd point people toward. Service was pretty straightforward.
If the city of LA were a restaurant or cafe, it would be this: the earthen and industrial aesthetic, people clad in athleisure and designer clothes, overpriced but yummy. The chicken sandwich was a little saucy, but the slaw was a unique, bright touch and a good contrast to the crunchy, juicy chicken. The andante was an overall unmemorable but otherwise enjoyable sweet coffee. I got it less sweet, and for someone who doesn't like sweet things, it ensured with the cream I didn't think it was too sweet. The seating area outside is clean and spacious but inside was a little overstimulating. I wouldn't necessary work here even with the free WiFi, but it's a great place to catch up with friends. Their parking lot is super unoptimized, though.
This is such a unique coffee shop. It feels like a social club with the intimate setting of stone rock seating and people gathered around in a circle. People are chatting, studying, reading, etc. This coffee shop is small but beautiful. The look and feel of this coffee shop is like being in RH, the upscale furniture store. I loved the jazz music in the background as well; it was a real vibe. I ordered the Laveta latte which is espresso mixed with maple syrup and milk. It was delicious and tasted so unique. I like that the syrup was the main sweetener here and not sugar/simple syrup. It's natural and provides a different taste. I actually want to copy this drink myself! I'll definitely come back again!
I was really looking forward to the ube latte and have a couple thoughts: I loved the ube latte with a shot of espresso and cold foam. The espresso balances out the sweetness because by itself it's a very sweet cereal milk. Knowing the espresso was good I would assume their other coffee and lattes would be really good as well. The other drinks we got were a chai latte and Hojicha tea and they were not very good. The chai just tasted like milk with warm spices and the Hojicha was ok not great. I know these are just non-coffee options to offer on the menu but they are not good enough to order in place of coffee. The staff was very cool and nice, drinks came out fairly fast for the crowd we had too. Main point is come for the coffee and not the other drinks. Also, they have a whole food menu and seating outside that we haven't explored yet!
We arrived in LA late Friday night and we're staying in the Echo Park area... On Saturday morning we hit Yelp looking for a great place to get coffee and breakfast. Laveta did not disappoint! I almost missed it entirely as I went inside and it looked like a cool daytime club more than an eatery. The coffee was spectacular, the service was great and the food was really delicious. Highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches! Don't be intimidated by how cool it looks inside... They're very friendly and happy to help you have a spectacular meal!
Laveta is a super cute minimalistic cafe located close to echo park lake in Los Angeles. They have their own parking lot, which already is an A+. But since it is a small lot, there is street parking all around. They have really cool inside seating as well as outdoor seating. They offer coffee, matcha and teas. But let's not ignore the food they offer, which I highly recommend you try out! I've heard the burger is delicious but haven't tried it because I'm obsessed with their Avacado toast! It's literally the best Avacado I've had! Their coffee is good as well. I've had their iced vanilla latte, which you can't go wrong with. I also enjoyed one of their signature coffee, the laveta. Check it out!

Tried their honey latte with oat milk for the first time and loved it. Im still savoring it! Their interior is so beautiful with touches of nature. It's definitely a place to check out for great coffee and food (and also for Instagram worthy pictures! Who doesn't love that?) A friend I ran into told me that the burger is super tasty as well. Can't wait to try other coffee drinks and food next time. :) read more

SO GOOD! Love the rustic minimalist decor. Plus they have a parking lot! Super dope spot. Definitely coming back!! Got the Ube Latte w/ a single shot of Espresso. I feel like the Espresso balanced out the sweetness. It was not overly sweet, just right! Unlike most things with Ube in them it tasted very natural. Didn't have an after taste of purple dye. Loved it. read more

Everything about this place is aesthetically pleasing. The exterior, the interior, their food and drinks. The iced Laveta has been my go to (comes with oat milk of course). The cauliflower bowl was one of the best veggie bowls I've had in awhile. There's also a small parking lot that makes it convenient. Weekends are already busy! read more

Sophisticated. Sublime. Beautiful space. Excellent coffee (and why not, since this is a concept place of Andante Coffee Roasters). Ube waffles and cauliflower bowl were grand. The interior had a vibe of intimacy and peopleness at the same time. And there was parking!! We will be back for more. UPDATE: Went back for more. You have to try the Laveta burger (angus beef) and the kim chee fried rice. read more

This place is such a vibe! The staff is always friendly and the coffee is so tasty. The ube latte is my favorite. A hidden gem in Echo Park! read more
Cutest coffee shop in all the land! So minimalist and so chic. Best part- so friendly and nice!! I always get intimidated going to new coffee shops because I never know what to expect from the baristas since more often than not, they're not warm, welcoming or friendly. Luckily, the nice girl who helped as at Laveta was all of those. She was patient and helpful offering suggestions when we were deciding what to order since it was our first time. I just made a rookie mistake by ordering two drinks that didn't have coffee and I assumed it did just because it had "latte" in the title lol so if you want caffeine, be sure to add espresso to the Ube latte and horchata lattes. Even without caffeine, both drinks are SO good! Their food looks really good we can't wait to try soon and they have a cute outdoor patio and their own parking lot which made it convenient. read more

Very good overall. The ube drink is out of this world. It taste like a taro drink but with their little twist. The service and the energy in there is really nice. 10/10 experience read more

Kimchi fried rice- ingredients work well together; smaller portion size than expected Ube waffle- wonderful mix of crunchy and soft; sweet, but not too sweet; delicious & a generous serving of fresh and yummy fruit (not flavorless like some places that don't know how to pick fruit) Berry mojito fizz- surprisingly well balanced (not overly fizzy) and uses fresh berries Has a spacious parking lot, which is basically golden in LA. Decent outdoor seating with a nice breeze, though there is the sound of traffic if that matters to you Employees quite standoffish and seem unhappy, which brings down the vibe a bit. Interior design is way too minimalist... Minimalism is awesome, but not to this extent. Just looks lazy. Excited to go back and try the mango pesto rice read more

My favorite cafe in the world. Vibes are ~immaculate~. Outdoor seating is great. Food and drinks were amazing and fairly priced for similar businesses in LA. Highly recommend all of the items I tried. Avocado toast: SO MUCH AVOCADO, bread was amazing, super filling Chicken sandwich: chicken was the perfect texture, tomatoes were super flavorful, bread also amazing Ube waffle: crispy outside texture, soft inside texture, perfect pairing with syrup and lemon Ube latte/horchata: highly recommend if u have a sweet tooth read more

Im so glad my friend recommended this place, and loved all the ube-flavored treats. The waffles are the perfect texture of fluffy and sweet with the right amount of ube flavoring! Will definitely be back again. read more
Came here for Sunday morning early breakfast around 8:30 am (yep, I like to beat the crowds! ) I had already scoped out the menu and had a good idea about what I wanted to order but I always like to get recs directly from staff :) Per the super nice employee Kay's rec I got my Ube Iced Latte with coconut milk and a shot of espresso....Soooooooo good. You can still taste the specialness of the Ube latte while also getting a hint of coffee flavor, neither overpowering the other. Her sweet/ friendly demeanor and enthusiasm about the drinks immediately made me like the place. Cool staff! and yes, the place is really beautiful. My companion ordered the Laveta hot and enjoyed it. We tried the breakfast plate and the french toast, both solid! They do a great job plating the to-go stuff considering covid restrictions are still in place, everything looks appetizing still. Looking forward to coming back to try the matcha. read more

I'm so glad I discovered this place through the delivery app "caviar". It's so close to my apartment and actually has a private parking lot. I ordered a vanilla late and the breakfast plate for to go. It was super tasty and came with a cute little jar of jam :) I can't wait to eat in once the pandemic is over. read more

One of my favorite cafes in LA! I love the ambience and aesthetics of this cafe, there's cement blocks where you used to be able to study before COVID. I ordered an iced Laveta latte with oatmilk (one of their most popular drinks) and I loved it so much. The flavor was like a vanilla latte but so much better! The hot drink was good as well but I personally prefer my coffee iced. I highly recommend, one of the best cafes I've been to in the LA area! read more

Laveta iced coffee was the best iced coffee dialed perfectly to my liking. The store decor is minimal and clean with private parking. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. Also bought Ethiopia roast to try. Highly recommended! read more

I liked the place, but the service seemed not very friendly, possibly due to the large flow of people. Waffles with lemon curd are not bad. the coffee is good. read more

Laveta is a nice hidden cafe with neutral earthy vibes. I was recommended their Ube Latte from a friend and I added a shot of espresso -- SO GOOD! I always find it hard to distinguish the taste of ube but this was delicious. Get it with oat milk! We also ordered the matcha Misto -- it was good but I realized it was just a simple iced matcha with some foam on top. It's not really sweetened at all but it was very smooth and light. read more

What is the seating situation? I see little benches but no table. Was this just for Covid times or is it still like that?
Hey! They have a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating with tables. I had no issue finding a table when I was there recently. I'd say a small group is best.
Is there an easier way to read the menu besides the customer photos which are not very clear?
Do they have outlets available?
Is there wifi available to work in the patio?
There is wifi offered, would think it is available outside as well
