Places filled with good memories are always worth revisiting. I remember attending the Yelp Elite All-Star Party at Lee's Coffee back in February. At that time, they made a special Valentine's Day coffee, and the taste was absolutely amazing. Ever since then, I've been thinking I should come back. Since this café is quite far from my usual areas--Burbank, Glendale, and LA--and I've been very busy lately, I hadn't had a chance to return. But today, after getting a car wash nearby, I decided to drive about 20 minutes just to come here and enjoy their coffee again. Today, I ordered an Einspänner Latte--decaf, non-fat, and no ice--and they made it perfectly, exactly how I requested. The taste was truly incredible. If this place were closer, I would come here every single day. On top of that, the café is beautifully decorated--completely my style. It has a great vibe, a nice ambience, amazing coffee, a cozy atmosphere, and even a place to charge your phone. It really has everything I want: especially a perfect afternoon coffee option with decaf and non-fat milk. And all the staff are incredibly kind. This is truly a coffee shop where everything feels just perfect.
Lee's Coffee first caught my attention during a Yelp event, and since then, I've been back about four times which already says a lot. Right now, I'd solidly rate it 4 stars. First off, the menu is extensive. They have a ton of drink options, which can feel a little overwhelming at first but also fun if you're someone who likes variety. So far, I've tried a vanilla latte and keep going back to the upside-down rose latte (originally a Valentine's special, but thankfully still on the menu). It's honestly one of my favorite drinks here. They also have a punch card, which is a nice touch if you're a regular, always love a little reward system. Now for my only real critique: consistency. The very first time I had the upside-down rose latte, it was perfect; beautiful, vibrant, and clearly made with care. The flavor was balanced and rich. The next couple of times, though, it tasted a bit off more watered down, and even the color looked different (more pale pink instead of that rich coffee-meets-rose look). I did mention it once, and adjusting the milk helped a bit, but it's still been a little hit or miss. Not a dealbreaker, but something I hope gets dialed in. That said, where this place really shines is the ambiance and attention to detail. It's easily a 5-star vibe. From the heart-shaped straws to the fresh flowers, everything feels thoughtful, cute, and elevated. It's one of those spots that just makes you feel good being there. Service is always warm and welcoming the staff is consistently kind, and you can tell they care. Huge shoutout to the owner, Liama, for creating such a beautiful, woman-owned space. Overall, it's a great spot that I genuinely enjoy and keep coming back to. I'd love to branch out and try more of the menu (maybe even a coffee flight if they add one), and I'm definitely curious about their food next time. Happy to support this business and looking forward to seeing them grow, I'm excited for their 2nd location to open up. They are located in the strip mall, never had any issues with parking. Great place for a date, hang out with friends, or even studying. The personalized touches here are my absolute favorite.
It's rare to find a coffee shop with everything, but Lee's Coffee House has it all. The coffee was wonderful, there's ample free parking, the staff were kind, there's WiFi, and the vibes were great. Perfect spot to get work done. I'll have to go back another time with friends to try the espresso flight, but the shaken vanilla latte was delicious. The whole menu looked awesome.
Cutest little coffee shop west of the Mississippi. Love the ambiance, the service was kind, and the coffee was delicious. I love the attention to detail!
Such a cute coffee shop with plenty of space to relax or study. Great service, quick and kind. Good pricing for a really great latte. I will definitely be back!
While I can't remember the name of the latte I won't forget how insanely good it was. The flavor profile had macadamia nut and chocolate- basically perfection. I had this place saved for a while and I'm really glad I finally got the chance to try it out
I usually don't update a review so quickly but honestly everything I've tried here so far has been amazing! My second visit yesterday and I got a matcha creation called "the gabby" and it tasted so good!! Not watered down like other places, you can taste the matcha. It was creamy and delicious. The staff is also so friendly and nice, such a welcoming feeling. And of course I'm in love with the decor and all the pink!!!
I already wrote a review. I hope the other one didn't delete. I gave this place five stars. All the drinks are amazing from their matches to their coffees. It's very creamy and very cute touches like the pink straw that's shaped like a heart to their seasonal drinks. I love that they have flights that you can do with Matcha coffees or mixed so many flavors with your friends. Quick reviews just for you
Don't be dissuaded by the modest exterior of the location; as soon as you enter you'll find a charmingly decorated and comfortable gathering place with a few shelves of knickknacks and apparel for sale, some packaged treats (like candy bars), and a case filled with baked pastries, some sweet, some savory, all looking very yummy. But the star of the show here is the vast menu of drinks with names like The Gabby, The Zee and The Moody, among dozens of others. They've got cold, they've got hot, they've got coffee and tea, matcha and refreshers, frappes and even "flights" of drinks that invite you to take your time, explore and introduce yourself to new flavors. My choice was a Valentine's weekend special: The Upsidedown Rose, an iced combination of Marshmallow Latte and Rose Foam. The sweetness of the marshmallow was a nice foil for the pleasant punch of fresh-brewed coffee. The Rose Foam may have been named more for its color than its flavor, as I didn't really detect any real taste of "rose," but that's perfectly fine -- in fact, since this is Valentine's Weekend, I'll say I loved it just the way it was. I didn't eat this time, but the selection of bites they have, including breakfast sandwiches and burritos, all sound excellent, and I'll be returning soon to try much of what they have to offer. This is a wonderfully planned and executed coffee shop with a terrifically friendly staff, and they deserve plenty of support. Luckily, Lee's is the kind of place you want to visit again and again.
Omg yall I think I might have found my new favorite coffee shop! Okay, so this place is SO ADORABLE! It's definitely extremely feminine and aesthetic I LOVE the cozy vibe and there's plenty of seating. This is the perfect place for a date, to work solo, to take a few cute pics, etc. you can tell the owner really takes pride in this place and moves in EXCELLENCE. There's so many cute little details that are pleasing and only add to the already delightful atmosphere. They have an extensive menu with tons of options and reasonably priced food and drinks as well. A TON of options to choose from. A few gluten free options. (I had a warm muffin) Parking is free and plentiful. The drinks are AMAZING. I got the Lee's vanilla espresso. So goooood. You wouldn't notice this place at first glance because it doesn't really stand out on the outside, but it's definitely a gem. Go see for yourself! You're welcome!
Lees special latte was absolutely delicious I love the coffee! The interior of this place is also super cute and the staff is very helpful and kind. The poptart tasted great. Over all, everything was super cute and tasty!
I'm loving this coffee shop! It's nice, brite and nicely decorated with plenty of seating. The baristas are friendly and happy to answer any questions about the menu. We ordered the Espresso Specials House Flight! 4 drinks big enough for us to share :) Lees, Shaken Espresso, Ellas & Einspanner! OMG they were all so good :) I def recommend this especially your first time. Lee's is located in strip mall so there is a decent sized shared parking lot. We had no trouble finding a spot in a Saturday afternoon. They also have a great selection of pastries & donuts. Plus breakfast sandwiches & burritos :)
Lee's Coffee House has great coffee and the best muffins. They also have cold drinks. It is all great. we love their cold brew. The service is exceptional. You will not be waiting forever for your order and they will get it right the first time, no matter how long it is. They are just so nice. The place is spotless and super cute. There is great bench seating that I like. You will love their blueberry muffins, their banana chocolate loaf and their mixed berry muffin. I have had them all. As to their coffee my favorite today is their cold brew, but they also have great espresso and their milk chocolate is great. Their prices are fair as the price of coffee has gone up. You will really like this place.
I've been trying to cut down my coffee spending lately and really love when going out for coffee is worth the price. I got the lees special with extra ice and it was DELISH. The drink is so creamy and the service is so quick. I came on a Saturday and though the line was getting long, I didn't feel rushed at all while ordering and asking questions (I swear I didn't ask a million questions tho lol). The inside is so cute and I love that they always do the heart straws and there is ample seating everywhere. I can't wait for more of their locations to open up so they can be closer to my area!! read more
Congrats on the new location!! My absolute favorite coffee shop in the San Fernando Valley, now has a Burbank location. Dropped by over the weekend to see this new and absolutely beautiful location. Parking lot is tiny and has specific ones for the other shops next door so do be aware of where you park! Not sure how strict they are. The classic logo up front, beautiful decor and smells as soon as you walk in, greeted by the loveliest staff and even got to see familiar faces like Liana (owner) and Salma (my favorite Barista). The layout is similar to their original location in Balboa so it felt like we were right at home. Menu is easy to read, love that it has descriptions and photos for a lot of the drinks. I stick to my usual: Small Iced Moody Latte (pistachio latte with strawberry cream top) and they perfect it every time. Perfect amount of sweetness with the strong taste of espresso. The Lee's Special is definitely another must try if you haven't had it before! If I am feeling like a sweeter drink kinda mood, I would get that. Drinks come out quick as well so you're not waiting long at all. Love this spot and can't wait to visit more if I'm in the area!! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Hubs went into here after a Costco run after he sweetly let me sleep in. He let the staff know I like caramel and they picked out The Zee which was caramel sweet and great! Hubs had a blueberry matcha which he really liked. It is a very cute shop and I LOVE their straws are heart shaped. read more

I am in LOVE. We have visited here a handful of times. Customer service always has great vibes. Foot traffic seems to be consistent... not too crazy busy and never empty. The aesthetics is super cute and comfy! I've seen all kinds of people visit here, definitely a place to either get work done or chat it up with friends. My most fave thing is that drinks and food are always consistent and everything I've had is good! Banana split latte has been my go to! read more
I can tell this place is run with a lot of love because packaging even for an Uber Eats order was so cute and personal. I love that they put stickers of their branding over the holes of the cups, and maybe because it was only a few days after Valentine's Day but the drinks all had heart straws. Their coffee was really strong--just how I like it! I ordered a few for my friends and me for the week to drink at home, and we all really enjoyed their different lattes. I highly recommend! read more
Very cute ambiance with lots of tables / outlets for studying. The drinks are a hefty price of around $8-- i opted for "The Jenny" which is a Honey caramel matcha with banana foam and cinnamon. it was a bit cinnamon heavy and the matcha flavor seemed more muted and more of the banana sweetness and milk taking the forefront of the taste. Service was good with nothing outstanding to write home about. read more

I absolutely adored the vibes in Lee's Coffee House. The decor is lovely and it's a great place to study with comfy seating and plenty of outlets. It was a little busy when I went so it took a minute to find a spot, but overall it was a good space to get some work done. I knocked a star off because the drinks were just okay, but the presentation was super cute and I loved the pink heart straws. I got the Jenny and thought it could have used a little more banana flavor, but the matcha itself was solid. The pastries hit the spot and were served on cute Lee's Coffee House cutting boards. Staff were very friendly and I could definitely see myself coming back to try the coffee and do some work again. read more

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, love. Truly appreciate…
After getting a chance to come here last week, I stopped by here this time for breakfast as it was a perfect spot for a quick snack in between my day!!! I wanted to get myself a breakfast sandwich and drink, and in total it costed me about $13 for those two items!!! I got the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich and did ask to switch out the hamburger brioche bun with a plain bagel, but they unfortunately couldn't carry out my request and said that it came like that. Which did make me wonder if the sandwiches here are prepackaged and just warmed up similarly to how Starbucks does it. The Lee's Special had delicious espresso and white mocha flavor, and was definitely and especially helpful on a rainy day. The interior is cozy with furniture to sit at and a great spot to relax inside of while waiting for your drink!! It was nice to come back here!! *solo bathroom in the back *free parking in small lot read more

Finally tried Lee's after quite a few recommendations & was not disappointed. Tucked away in a local strip mall- once you step foot in the door- you are transformed into a paradise of all things chill & honestly- you'll feel like the ultimate girly pop. Got a round of drinks, including cold brew, matcha, espresso and tea. All drinks were made in a reasonable time and with care. Pros: - Selection (there are so many things to choose from- everyone will have something that meets their tastes.) - Vibes (it's so chill, quiet music, space to sit at the "bar", blankets, cozy seating), you'll groan when it's time to go. - Matcha is delicious. - SUGAR-FREE SWEETENER OPTIONS! Cons: - With such a large selection, menu can be overwhelming- give yourself some extra time to read through and understand what's going on there. - The pastries (around 5p, Saturday) were a bit stale, but with a couple of hkurs until close , it wouldn't make sense for new pastries to be stocked. Not absolute definites that would prevent a return visit. They even have cute drinks named after the employees of you want a quick guide on what they recommend. It's important to spread the word on local favorites, to keep the conglomerate coffee giants out! Bring a book and enjoy your time. Absolute gem. read more

As a long time coffee connoisseur.. Lee's Coffee House absolutely deserves a 5 star rating!! The ambience is super girlie and fun. The decor and chairs look expensive. Fresh roses on the counter. It's definitely a top tier shop without insane prices. My coffee was about $7 and only a dollar more for a large. That's a great price for an upscale fancy latte in LA in my opinion. I got the Zee latte and it was so delicious. My boyfriend got the brown sugar latte (I forget the name) and also the bacon egg and cheese. Sandwich is a little on the smaller side but tasted great. I will say the flavored lattes are definitely on the sweeter side, more like a decadent dessert drink. If you don't like sweet coffee the Zee probably wouldn't be for you. My whole order came out in less than 5 minutes. All the ladies working were so helpful, sweet, gorgeous, and fast!! Whether you want to work on your laptop and have a cute coffee date with a friend, this is absolutely a great choice! read more

Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate it!
Well came back after so long not being here and like always delicious coffee! Since the last time I was here it has changed, as in remodeled and if I remember correctly more menu options which is an extra plus! The ambiance here is of a cute little coffee shop for those that enjoy a lively and very colorful environment to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Service as always very good. Seating has increased, so plenty of space to sit and enjoy your breakfast and coffee. Will not be disappointed with the product and prices are very competitive in regards to other coffee shops. Coffee very good. I like it sweet and if you do order your shaken expresso! read more

It was a matcha and yap kinda day at Lee's coffee house with one of my girl friends. I got the salma with almond milk, it's a vanilla strawberry matcha with coconut creme. The matcha mixture was really good, definitely a must try! My friend got a latte and a croissant on the side. I didn't end up grabbing any bakery items today but they do have a gluten free banana bread I may have to try out next time. **Service was great, all the baristas were friendly! Drink didn't take long to come out, even with a few people ahead of me. read more

I discovered this place on yelp and I have to say it has quickly become my go-to cafe!! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with friendliness and a beautiful pink setting! They have a great menu filled with many drinks to choose from! As well as food too, and so far from what I've had its all been amazing! Id also like to note that when I ordered my drink the barista asked me how sweet do I like my matcha, and checked in with me after I got my drink to ensure I was satisfied, I've never experienced great customers service at a coffee shop! 10/10 staff, drinks, ambiance 10/10 everything! read more

I ordered 4 things from Lee's and I got to enjoy their Lee's special and Cookie Butter Eispanner. I saved Lee's special for the next day and had the cookie one the day of, and it gave me the energy boost I was looking for. It wasn't too strong but the bitter and sweetness I always crave, it got it! ^___^ Looking forward to visiting this place in person. I can't talk about the ambiance yet, or the service. It took 40 minutes for me to receive my order, compared to the 20min original quoted time, but the driver took another order before me so I won't hold it against Lee's. read more
