    Cute little spot to get your morning coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the architecture and art on the building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small seating areas in front and to the side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking. Employees are very nice. I'm Going to come back and try other things next time I'm in the area.

    My friend and I went by Lumen Coffee today and had a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Rose cardamom latte with artsy kiosk
    Rebecca T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lumen is a small, but colorful kiosk serving up a curated collection of coffee to try out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the building! I also like the style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grab and go, or you can go to the back and sit down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Pain au chocolat
    Ton H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A very smartly designed artsy coffee stand with awesome coffee and pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A pleasant experience all around.

    Welcome to Lumen Coffee. #highlandpark #bnw

    Today, I start the Fall season with a cup of coffee and an adventure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lumen Coffee is a tiny to-go coffee bar in the heart of HP neighborhood of LA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are very few tables and seats out front and rear shaded area where you can enjoy and relax with your coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking only. Overall, I enjoyed my Cold Brew. And I cannot wait to try their hot drinks.

    Wow!! Coffee was delicious. Great customer service, answered all of our questions. The vanilla bean latte is great, with syrup made in house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a small seating area along the side of the building with a bathroom for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking around the area.

    Iced  rose cardamon latte..

    This establishment is conveniently located down the street ,from my sister's house.[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the look of the cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]I ordered the iced rose cardamom latte.It was was so good!It had little petals of roses on top of it.I also got a little Armenian cookie.It was of orange flavor.Again really good!I really like that this cafe doesn't have your normal flavors.Very unique and great tasting!The customer service is good as well!The associate there was very nice and informative.I will definitely be back!

    My sibling hand and coffee
    Jade L.

    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

    Mocha iced
    Andres T.

    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. As far as food options is mostly pastries that I've seen available when I've gone. It's a nice chill place to enjoy some coffee and relax.

    Pumpkin spice latte
    Diane M.

    Great coffee! I got the pumpkin spice and it was slightly sweet, with pumpkin taste that was not overbearing. The pumpkin even tasted a bit more in the natural side. The barista was super nice and answered all my questions. There a little outdoor seating section to the side that is very cute, but if it's busy I would recommend just grabbing and going One of my fav spots around town!

    Hot vanilla latte

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute coffee spot with the most beautiful artwork decorating the outside (you can't miss it unless you're trying to).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful outdoor patio seating with the most fragrant and visually stunning passion fruit blossoms lining the space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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)

Their barrel-aged cold brew is what first caught my attention, and it's unlike anything I've had elsewhere. It has a smooth, complex flavor with subtle notes from the barrel aging that make it feel more like a craft beverage than just another cold brew. It's definitely worth ordering if it's your first visit. Beyond that, they also have an excellent lineup of creative specialty drinks that are thoughtfully crafted without being overly sweet or gimmicky. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the coffee and the overall experience. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations, which makes trying something new even more enjoyable. When you're surrounded by so many great coffee options, it's not easy to separate yourself from the competition. This shop has managed to do exactly that with creativity, quality, and a menu that keeps me wanting to come back to try something different each visit.

    A late review to the trend, but this coffee shop is literally one of the few must recommended…read morespecialty shop around the greater LA region. Highly sophisticated and quality driven, Loquat offers exceptional coffee in every cup. The interior is minimal and clean, though seating space is very limited, as the space is quite small. There is a small counter that seats 4 people and a bench seat along the window that fits maybe 3 more? There are outdoor patio seats that can fit up to 3-4 small groups. The guest capacity can quickly get full. Plus, the shop is usually very busy in the AM. You can expect it to be emptier in the noon though. What I love about this shop can be a bit of bias. I enjoy light roast, single origin coffee, and this place is a perfect spot for it. Loquat usually has at least one or two rare coffee offering like Gesha and processing such as anaerobic fermentation. I always like the presentation of the drinks that are being served, and Loquat has one of the exceptional ones for their espresso. It comes in a mini chilled glass and a 'bougie' tiny spoon. Their signature beverage is the Mascarpone Latte, which is a shot of espresso with muscovado milk, topped with a thick, cloud of house made mascarpone cheese foam. Delicious! As for the parking, it is all street and neighborhood parking. The shop is situated on the corner of the Main Street and a neighborhood road. Usually, you would probably have to expect a bit of distance when looking for parking. It gets little challenging. But the place around it isn't nearly as crowded. Just a lot of residents taking up space.

The cafe, with its unassuming facade, is a hidden gem nestled on the outskirts of the Arts District. It offers a comforting escape from the bustling city. I ordered their signature Cortado with whole milk. The rich, creamy texture of the whole milk perfectly complemented the robust flavor of the coffee, making it an ideal choice for a cold morning. The cafe has two floors and plenty of seating. I love that they play classical music softly, adding life to the space. They are cashless. Free street and paid parking are both available around the area. I parked on 6th St. and just walked less than a block.

We parked on the streets a few blocks away and walked towards this cafe. The exterior was green with a very nice sign. When walking inside, you'll notice all the patrons working on the computers or hanging out with a friend. Towards the left side, you'll see the merchandise and the register where you'll order your coffee and food. The coffee bar was alongside the left side of the perimeter. I can't describe it enough - very studio Ghibli, speakeasy, jazzy, and coffee enthusiast themed. The barista greeted us with a smile and was gentle about it. We ordered their black sesame cortado and their signature cortado. We also ordered their breakfast sandwich with sausage. Their cortado was very strong, but had a great sweetness to it. It was decorated with orange citrus and the other one had black sesame seeds sprinkled across the top. It was quite delicious. Their breakfast sandwich was chef's kiss - it reminded me of a good sandwich my mom made me as a kid. It had a runny yolk, toasted bread, some melted cheese, and tomatoes in it.
