    Prosciutto Arugula toast and Ube toast
    Jessica L.

    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!

    Ube latte 4 stars

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Mango rice and waffle and fried chicken with iced latte!

    Another great visit!! I came back for the French Toast and Chicken Rice Bowl today. Both were delicious! The French toast was tasty (just wish the portion of the bread was slightly larger), and the Chicken Rice Bowl was perfectly balanced--from the rice to the fresh veggies and chicken. Everything was so flavorful and well-combined. Can't wait to come back again! :)

    you can't tell me not one gah damn bad thing about this place. i've only ever had their ube latte, maybe i should expand on the menu - open to any recs! BUT, in my defense that's literally all i've ever needed. it's joy in a cup, it's that extra pep in your step, the cherry on top of your day. i ask for an ube latte w/one shot of expresso w/almond milk and topped with cold foam. NEEEED the cold foam! their interior is super chic, sleek and there's seating available if you wanna chill for a sec. it doesn't appear like the coziest, but its done for the minimalistic aesthetic so i understand the assignment here. they do have their own lot, which fills up during busy peaks, try to find street parking if that's the case.

    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

On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.
