I am back! It's…read moredifficult to come back to this land locked location but it is so worth it. The vibe... The stairs with the view of DTLA... it all adds up to a coffee outing that is worth the extra time and effort to drive and look for parking here. Even on street sweeping day which was a pain. The vibe is not the only thing that makes it worth it, though. Their CORTADO has the right amount of tartness if you're in the mood for it. Their LATTE is appropriately strong. And the staff is always therapeutic. It's their rhythm while working with and around each other - very harmonious.

The shop itself gets quite busy but the line went by rather quickly and we got our drinks pretty fast as well. Service was great! There is some limited seating available both indoor and outdoors.

The milk complemented the espresso without covering it up, allowing the coffee's character to come through. It was a well-executed drink that showed real attention to detail. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, and I had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly knowledgeable about coffee. After talking with him, it was clear he cares about sourcing high-quality beans and getting the most out of them. That passion shows in the cup. I'll definitely be back.

I had been looking forward to trying this spot but must admit I was pretty disappointed with this…read morevisit. Given all of the coffee competition in the area, I was expecting a higher bar. Pro: a good amount of umbrella/covered outdoor seating on the back patio, which has a relaxing ambiance. Cons: the baristas were not super friendly. Barely acknowledged me when I walked into the shop. It's extremely small so it's not really ideal to sit inside. I ordered a cold brew with a non-dairy cream top, and the "top" immediately sank to the bottom in curdling chunks. The cold brew itself wasn't bad but they really shouldn't serve that cream top. Maybe I'd return to try something else if I happened to be in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Is this possibly the bougiest coffee shop in L.A. (bougie defined as pretentious)? Yah, it's…read moredefinitely in the running. The patrons include bicyclists whose bikes cost more than my car, folks driving Porsches (the bougiest car of all imho), lots of performative tattoos, and more athleisurewear than I've seen in my life. And this is in Cypress Park, which to me is most famous as the location of my favorite King Taco (not bougie at all). So, is gentrification happening here? That's a big yes. When the word "elevated" gets used to describe menu items, that's a dead giveaway. And yet....that Mascarpone latte is a work of art. Per their website, it's a "Tiramisu inspired drink layered with espresso, mascarpone cheese foam, and muscovado milk." It's just as good as it sounds. And honestly, these days, $8 was a bargain. Shocking how many young people were up and ordering their custom drinks at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning. I'm guessing the line gets really long on weekends. So order early! Five stars for creative drinks and free street parking.

Was able to revisit LOQUAT COFFEE a few times since my last review. A couple of times with…read morecoworkers and another couple of times with fam. In each and every visit, I know I am boring, I ordered the same thing - CORTADO. The benefit of being boring and visiting several times is that I can definitively say that they churn out consistently GREAT cortados. I was able to finagle some of the following as well: - HOT LATTE. Not "watery", or should I say "milky". Strong and creamy. - FONDRY KOUIGN AMMAN. Sooo good. Of course. And without the Fondry line. Staff is always awesome. Parking looks challenging but I've never had a problem. There was always space for me to sit and down my bean drug.

He actually seemed kind of bothered that I came back to asked for it. All the other items I got were okay but the almond crossaint that he gave me was super stale.

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.

Located along the LA River bicycle path, 10 Speed Coffee is located in Frog Town. Parking is limited to their small parking lot or neighborhood streets. Of course, the focus is on the bicycle. The decor is modern and architecturally impressive. This is a nice location to enjoy your favorite coffee or tea or other refreshments. Whether with a laptop or a favorite book, the ambiance is inviting and peaceful, with a good amount of outdoor seating and limited indoor seating in the air conditioning. There are some creative drinks on their menu. Including an Earl Grey and coffee item. The menu also includes some pastries, a breakfast burrito, and vegan options. The espresso here is on the average side. Smooth in taste and weak in their lattes and cappuccinos. For a boutique coffee place, their coffee selection is mediocre compared to other nearby places.

From the moment you walk in, the space makes an impression. The minimalist industrial design, soaring ceilings, and massive retractable windows flood the space with natural light, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, airy, and effortlessly modern. Whether you're meeting a friend, reading a book, or spending a few hours working, it's the kind of place that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The coffee program is equally impressive. It's clear that quality is the priority. Every drink is crafted with precision, and you can taste the attention to detail in each cup. We got their malt tonic and an ice blue ginger, both were amazing. The staff deserves recognition as well. The staff at the POS I interacted with was welcoming, knowledgeable, and was great at navigating some of my questions. One thing to keep in mind is that this place has become extremely popular, especially on weekends. Seating can fill up quickly, and parking in Highland Park always requires a little patience. That said, the popularity is well deserved and speaks to the quality of the experience.
