    Ube latte 4 stars
    Coco V.

    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.

    Prosciutto Arugula toast and Ube toast

    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!

    Breakfast Sandwich with SourDough
    Laila R.

    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

    açaí bowl and matcha
    Jana R.

    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

    Cortado
    Origin H.

    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.

    andante
    Anna H.

    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!

    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 this place cashless?

    They accept cash.

    Is there wifi available to work in the patio?

    There is wifi offered, would think it is available outside as well

    This was my second time visiting Stagger, and they're definitely a great spot for matcha lovers!…read more Last time I tried their Double Matcha, and this time I went with the Matcha Coconut. It was refreshing, smooth, and not overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. Price-wise, it's pretty comparable to other popular matcha spots. The interior was clean, tidy, and had a nice modern feel, and the staff were friendly as well. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn't a lot of seating, so it may be better for grabbing a drink to go when it gets busy. Overall, another good experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha drinks!

    What I Ordered: Cream Top Coffee ($6.75)…read moreDouble Matcha ($7.75) Food: Double Matcha was absolutely amazing! One of the best matcha drinks I have ever had. It is definitely on the sweeter end, so make sure you ask to change the sweetness level if that's not what you prefer. The Matcha Cream top was creamy, foamy, and sweet. Make sure you drink from the sippy lid so that you can get the cream top and the matcha latte at the same time through each sip. The barista also recommended that I use the sippy lid and not the straw. Cream Top Coffee was an americano with a vanilla cream top. To be honest, I didn't really enjoy this drink too much. I think that the cream top coffees should be made with lattes and not americanos as they tend to not mix well together. It tasted like a watered down vanilla latte for me. Everyone has different taste buds, and that was what I personally felt! Staff: Service was quick and staff members were friendly. Ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating available. Valet parking for the plaza is available, but you may be able to find street parking for free as well.

I explained that Yelp has an "Order" section that directs customers to DoorDash, where a chai is listed as an available item. Instead of simply explaining the situation, he was condescending and insisted that they were not affiliated with DoorDash. The employee making the coffee eventually had to step in and explain that they used to accept DoorDash orders but stopped about a year ago. If that's the case, this is clearly something the business needs to address. Their Yelp listing is still directing customers to DoorDash, creating confusion about what they actually offer and where they can order from. Mistakes happen, but there was absolutely no reason for the front employee to be so dismissive or condescending when I was simply trying to order something that their own Yelp listing indicated was available. Updating the DoorDash information would be a good start, and so would treating customers with a little more courtesy.

The beef and asada empanadas disappeared embarrassingly fast. We probably should've ordered more. And can we take a moment to appreciate the parking lot? Finding parking in Silver Lake without circling the block 47 times feels like winning a small lottery. We had no trouble finding a spot. Come for the ube latte, stay for the ensaymada, and leave wondering why you didn't order a second empanada.

Unfortunately, it seemed like they forgot about my dish as 30 minutes passed without it being served. I checked and indeed they didn't realize there was an order for it. Took about 15 more minutes to prepare it. The rice / beans were a little salty, and the meat was a bit too clumped up and over cooked for me. Plantains and the bread that comes with it were both good. The bread is def good, but probably would opt for a sandwich if getting a meal here.
