Very unassuming little place, but well worth a stop for coffee lovers who are looking for well-pulled espresso and others who like milk/flavored drinks. The menu boasted a variety of great single-origins for espresso and pour overs. The espresso was great! The pour over was a little watery, but might have been influenced by having the great espresso first. Others in our group loved their cortado and cardamom rose latte. Also a great little side garden seating area! Would go back and would recommend. read more

My friend and I went by Lumen Coffee today and had a great experience. It's such a cute shop with really creative gold tiles artistically laid with dope cats intertwined throughout the design. Eye-catching and cool vibes for sure. The staff was really nice to us on our visit in, explaining their flash brew cold coffees to us. Interesting technique to lock in more flavors and I found it really tasty. We got a flash brewed blend and a standard cold brew, and could totally tell the difference. Also had a savory ham and cheese croissant which they warmed up for us. It was sooooo~ buttery and just melted in my mouth with a good amount of protein inside. Loved it! We got lucky to find a parking spot right out front so it can be done! Great coffee shop in Highland Park that I will definitely come back to. read more

Came here for the first time and unfortunately will most likely not be returning. The shop itself has a nice aesthetic, but the customer service really missed the mark. While we were in line, the barista took an order in front of us and then walked to the back without saying anything--no acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. We stood there waiting for about 4 minutes without any communication before deciding to leave. I've heard the coffee here is good, but we didn't even get the chance to try it. Customer service is a big part of the experience for me, and this just didn't feel welcoming or attentive. Hoping this was just an off moment, but based on this visit, it wasn't a great first impression. read more

Lumen is a small, but colorful kiosk serving up a curated collection of coffee to try out. I opted for a rose cardamom latte (iced), as it was quite a warm day. My drink was nice and refreshing, although the cardamom did overpower the rose flavor; I would've loved to have had the rose shine a bit more. Glad I tried it! read more

I love the building! I also like the style. Grab and go, or you can go to the back and sit down. The service was friendly! Their menu is a bit more traditional and limited, but once I tasted my coffee I understood why. They have great espresso! When you have great espresso, you don't need much else in a drink. They also had vegan bakery items. Parking may be difficult around this location. Shout out to LA Coffee Passport for introducing me to this gem. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

A very smartly designed artsy coffee stand with awesome coffee and pastries. The espressos are deep and rich. I had an espresso fizz and it was super refreshing. With our Indian summer going I needed something cool and refreshing and this hit the spot. What I didn't need was the pain au chocolat but I'm so glad I did because it was delicious. The staff was as nice as it's allowed and still got the aloof air that's needed at the cool coffee spot. The outside of the building is a true work of art and there's a small patio seating area with a tells full of passion fruit. A pleasant experience all around. read more

Today, I start the Fall season with a cup of coffee and an adventure. Lumen Coffee is a tiny to-go coffee bar in the heart of HP neighborhood of LA. There are very few tables and seats out front and rear shaded area where you can enjoy and relax with your coffee. I perused their modest menu; they have all the basic coffee and tea drinks as well as signatures. Moreover, they sell coffee bags. Staff were diligent, affable and competent. Atmosphere was chill. Street parking only. Overall, I enjoyed my Cold Brew. And I cannot wait to try their hot drinks. read more

I don't usually post reviews, but this definitely needed one. I have had many matcha drinks, but this one is by far the worst iced matcha latte that i have ever had. Tastes like water down milk with green food dye. Service was sub par, no warm greeting, just a stare at the face. Coffee might be good, but do not come for matcha, might as well go to starbucks. read more

Coffee here is good. My sibling got a rose cardamom latte, it was pretty subtle but a nice additional flavor. The barista was super nice (didn't spit on me or yell at me idk my bar for service is low but also he was friendly so this is a tangent) No indoor seating and limited outdoor. Ambiance so superb though the flowers and design is fun. Also seemed like a lot of people just hung out and talked with each other which is nice (I did not talk to them besides saying excuse me to try to use the bathroom) one bathroom available but someone was in it so I ended up going across the street to food4less. Shout out food4less' toilet woooo There is street parking all around I'm not sure about any designated parking for this place read more

I have been meaning to try this place ever since it's opening and FINALLY got the chance to pop over and oh my goodness am I so glad to have. It's a cute coffee spot with the most beautiful artwork decorating the outside (you can't miss it unless you're trying to). Wonderful outdoor patio seating with the most fragrant and visually stunning passion fruit blossoms lining the space. I have the sweetest tooth for coffee while my husband cringes at any sugar touching his cup so I was a little hesitant to see which one of our pallets this would cater too. Well I shouldn't have been worried because the barista heard our preferences and recommended the most perfect drinks for each of our tastes. My husbands coffee came with a little informational card that you can scan and order the beans to make at home (which yes we did). Super quick service and incrediblly friendly staff made the whole experience even better. Vibes 10/10 Aesthetic 10/10 Service 10/10 Drinks 10/10 All around phenomenal experience and will be coming back (very soon) read more

The coffee shop is located on a main street and there is some street parking available. Their iced Mocha has a lot of flavor but it doesn't taste too sweet.

My absolute favorite drink right now: Freddo con panna. It's an Italian style iced espresso topped with whipped cream. The best thing on a hot (or cold) day! I really like this drink because it hits the spot when I want caffeine (or just coffee in general) without having too much milk (like a latte). The whipped cream isn't overly sweet like some places and it's literally a dream in a cup. Not sure if you're supposed to mix in the cream but it I like drinking it as it, without mixing it. You get some sweetness from the cream and then hit with the strong espresso flavor. Street parking only (free) and there are some seats on the side in the back of the cafe. read more

I ordered a decaf iced vanilla oat latte with mascarpone cold foam, and it ended up being one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. The mascarpone cold foam is what really makes it stand out. It's thick, creamy, almost velvety, with a rich, slightly sweet flavor that feels genuinely indulgent. I'll admit, I didn't expect much at first. The shop itself is a small hut with minimal seating and no indoor space, so just something to keep in mind. They do get busy and there's usually a line, but it moves quickly and I didn't have to wait long for my drink at all. That latte completely exceeded expectations. I found myself thinking about it all week afterward. I'm honestly curious how the latte would taste without the mascarpone foam, since it plays such a big role, but either way, it's absolutely worth trying. I can't recommend it enough. read more

Cool spot for a good cup of coffee! I made a pit stop here after running an errand. The space is small and intimate and the latte here is really good. There is no designated parking lot and street parking is a bit tough, but if you can find it, definitely give this place a visit! read more

I was walking in the area and the brightly colored building caught my attention. The business was closed but I peaked in to see what it was. It looked like a coffee shop, so I came back on a Sunday Morning. Lumen is a walk-up espresso bar. There are a few tables out front and a shaded side area where you can sit and enjoy your beverage, or you can get it to go. The menu is simple and basic: Espresso, tea, iced coffee & pastries. They offer a few lattes but nothing fancy or extravagant. However, their espresso is really good. I got a Cortado with almond milk. It was bold & rich. The perfect pick me up, especially because I was tired that morning and had a busy day. The gal who took my order was darling and the barista was friendly. I'd come back. Street parking only, which can be difficult depending on the time of day. read more

A very cute coffee spot at the end of Figueroa Street. The coffee is great, but it is a little pricey as you would expect from one of these more hipster and vibey locations. Service is great and the only thing stopping this from getting a perfect five stars is the fact that there isn't anywhere to sit down. Plan to grab something on the go and browse stores nearby read more

This place is super cute on the outside, but does not live up to the hype, granted I am only the 10th person to review it, so I know they are fairly new. The place: as mentioned, cute aesthetic but there is only a small patio area and some patio tables with only one umbrella up front. On a hot summer day, it's way too hot to be outside without any coverings. The service: the barista was nice and friendly, and I got my order very quickly. The coffee: I ordered the salted caramel iced latte, it was meh. Needed sugar and I don't even like sugary coffee. Once I added sugar it was better. Their menu is small and very limited amount of pastries. I don't think I'd come back here anytime soon. read more

I had noticed that a good amount of the reviews for this coffee place focused on the pretty building itself and not the coffee quality. I went to go try it regardless and as much as the location was super pretty...the coffee was amazing as well! I got a decaf vanilla latte with oat milk which had the perfect sweetness and creaminess. The espresso itself also tasted good as there was no strong acidity or sourness. The workers there were also so nice! Only street parking available read more

came in on a sunday afternoon right up the bat place has a really nice energy & vibe to this place! Place is super small and has limited seating in outdoor patio. The person that attended us was super patient in what we wanted to ordered. Now for the drinks they were okay but not my type of coffee I usually like to drink. I ordered the Freddo Con Panna drink which was actually a little pricy for the size & for the taste being really strong. RATE 5/10 My friend ordered the Chai Tea Latte which she RATE 6/10 The big highlight for this place was the Armenian Vanilla Gata RATE 10/10 I do see myself coming back to try there other drinka for sure! read more

Unique new coffee spot with delicious espresso! I absolutely love a good espresso with some house cream - I accidentally ordered the "espresso con panna" first which is hot but my husband really enjoyed it. I then ordered the Freddo con panna as I prefer iced! The espresso is strong but smooth and the cream top adds a pleasant sweetness - but not too sweet! It's street parking (which can be difficult to get in this area) , order at the window and there are a very shady spots to sit along the side of the building (kind of a secret garden). read more

Review is from my coffee Instagram @bricoffeereviews :) Vanilla latte: omg. It was such a pleasant surprise because when trying new coffee shops, I'm scared it's not gonna be good and Lumen totally hit the mark with this one. 9/10 well deserved! Matcha latte (with a little vanilla): kinda disappointing because the matcha was lacking, the color was a light green and I always hope for a deep green color. The flavor was really yummy though. 7/10 but if the matcha were stronger, my rating would be higher. Pain au chocolat: pretty good, not as flaky and "crunchy" as I'd like, but I can't complain. 7.5/10 Outdoor seating area is SO CUTE and relaxing and gorgeous and nature-y! I wanna go back! BYO cup discount!!!! Overall, highly recommend checking this place out!! Sooo cute! read more

This is the US outpost of an Armenian coffee shop, constructed in the corner of a trendy new development home to women's fast fashion company Dolls Kill and various stores catering to a very new kind of Highland Park resident. You'll see lots of strollers, dogs, and young people immersed in their phones. The coffee is fine. I recommend their flash brew coffee, which is basically a light roast pour over served in a cute little carafe with ice. I am normally a batch brew person, but they don't offer it. Instead they have individual pour overs for $7 -- let's fix that please! The pastries are so-so, influencer photo-ready at best. The croissant is too lightweight and turned to crumbs. They have Armenian pastries called nazook. I have had the apricot nazook and it is very, very sweet -- the kind of too-sweet that makes you wince. I live really close to it, so that's why I continue to go, but it is not my #1 choice for coffee in Highland Park -- but that could change if they served better pastries and offered batch brew. read more
