Best coffee in Mid-City hands-down. I have been many times and have never been disappointed. It's clear that the intention of this place is in its name, to form community and socialize. It is a cafe, meets gallery meets casting studio meets event space. There is a very cute outdoor patio around the back, accessible from the sidewalk on Palm Grove Ave. In the summer, they have monthly wine socials which are always a lot of fun, and they occasionally have rotating art exhibits in the gallery space. It draws in lot of creatives for that reason. Also everyone on the staff, from the manager, to the baristas, are all gorgeous. You're bound to get your heart stolen by at least two of the people that work here. Luckily, I like my coffee how I like the people who make it, hot af. Shout out to the baddie with the piercings. I see you. Good coffee, pretty people, cool art-- what more could you ask for? 5/5 read more

We stumbled upon PGS during a local festival they had in the area. The line was a bit of a wait, but it made sense due to how many customers they had that day. We tried the Cold Brew and Iced Brown Sugar Latte. Both drinks were pretty good! read more

Found Palm Grove when looking for a quiet coffee shop with Wifi. Their drinks are good, and the space is big and airy with wifi. Indoors there is one large communal table. It was very quiet on a weekday afternoon, so our group of 3 parked ourselves in the outdoor courtyard around the corner. I personally had the brown sugar hojicha latte, which was very good. Street parking available, read more

Some construction work were on going so it's loud and prolly not the most enjoyable space to sit and chill over your cup of joe. If it's not because of that, the space was actually cool, featuring some artworks around several corners, nice greenery, and some seats for brief chilling moments. The menu went beyond just basic ones and even featured seasonal specials. I got intrigued by the Miso Butterscotch Latte , which I would 1000% recommend, being not overly sweet, letting the bold coffee stood out, and perfected with the creamy caramel-ly butterscotch with a salty savory hint from the miso. read more

Cute spot! It's got solid drip coffee. I have tried the fancy drinks. The baristas are helpful and try to get thru the morning rush fast. It always has open seating when I'm there if you want a place to work. read more

Palm Grove Social is a very interesting cafe. Part cafe. Part art space. And most importantly, it is a place for the local community to gather. In the time we spent there today we saw all of this. Our speciality lattes were very good. We had the lavender and the miso butterscotch. Both very enjoyable. They were completely out of anything pastry related when we arrived so the 5th star will have to wait;) But the feeling of community was by far the most tangible component at Palm Grove and I'm sure that's exactly how it's supposed to be. The space is very open with lots of light. It has a bit of a gallery feel to it but certainly not in a pretentious way. Very comfortable. Nice seating along the wall on the west side. And a nice long table in the center with chairs and benches. The two proprietors were very nice and helpful. I regret that I didn't ask if they do roasting. I had a sense that they do. Well, something else for next time. read more

Palm Grove Social - Barista in action. Everything hanging on the wall was nicely placed. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Mid city coffee shop gem! The whole vibe of the shop inside and out is very calming, creative and LA coded. The coffee and match options are spot on with what's trending. The service was friendly and professional very your friends work at a coffee shop and your there to hang out. The music was so good a mix of 90s R&B and today's trending neo soul songs. I ordered the passion fruit matcha tonic. 7/10 for me I wish it was more sweeter with a stronger passion fruit taste. I sat outside on the patio and got lost in work for two hours. Weather and vibes were just right on a Saturday afternoon. read more

I just moved into the neighborhood and had to check out the local coffee spot. Their drink offerings all sound so yummy, the vibes are high, the staff is kind, and the space is inviting. There's a few areas to sit and chill or work or look at great art. An outdoor patio surrounded by plants that I can't wait to sit on. And they're dog friendly! Will be back, many many times. I got the lavender latte and the hazelnut loaf. Both 10/10. Also, shouts out to the gal who left a review with the name SM. I was literally LOLing at what you had to say about liking your people and your coffee 'HOT af'. If humor like that is a testament to the kind of people who hang out here, then that adds even more value to this place. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop, where I truly enjoy the best cappuccino in the city, friendly employees, delicious pastries, and a wonderful community of customers... minus that one person who left a 1-star review just because they didn't get cold foam on their hot drink!!-- other than that one customer, it's the best place to enjoy your coffee read more

palm grove social is my go to coffee spot! I've tried multiple of their lattes, iced and hot and the flavors have always been consistently GOOD! I've never had a bad coffee or matcha! Super sweet and friendly baristas (Maxine is a gem) 10/10 would recommend read more

I have been coming to this shop since it opened. I am a huge vanilla latte drinker, and the iced vanilla latte at PGS is by far the best I have ever had. More than the coffee, I love the kindness of the staff. Not only do they remember me personally, but they ask about details of my life and even about my kids. They truly are the best around. read more

One of the best coffee shops in Mid City! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, the coffee is amazing, but my personal favorite is the blueberry matcha. The drinks aren't the only thing that makes me come back, it's the art and the zines. I love walking into the shop and seeing all of the gorgeous photographs and being introduced to new artists! I could go on and on about this shop, but if you're ever in the neighborhood make sure to check this gem out! read more

They make good coffee and have a good bakery source. However, I stopped coming here because they "made a new rule" that they couldn't add cold foam to hot drinks. Which is how I always ordered and they consistently would argue with me about the combination although that's how I liked my drink. After a while of being a regular they refused to continue to make my order. I tried their suggestion and it was disgusting to me and I could no longer enjoy my favorite combination. I'm rating them sooo low because making up rules to alienate loyal patrons is just a poor business move. I always paid the up charge for the cold foam so I don't understand why it's their business. read more

Great roast! I had the Americano and it's a hit. My first time here and I'm hyped to come back to try other drinks. They have a cool setup inside. Somewhat limited seating but open space. Service was good. Very brief interaction in the am. Ambiance: A Drinks: A Parking: B- Location: C Service: A read more

I was thrilled when this coffee shop opened a few years ago. They have a small selection but the staples. The baristas are friendly and they carry a variety of pastries. If you're here for lunch they do carry salads and sandwiches as well. Their patio are is so cute and feels like a little oasis outside of the busy city. read more

I am so lucky PGS opened nearby. It's part of my Sunday routine to stop in for a cappuccino and a pastry. The beans are independently sourced and the whole milk is with Clover brand leaving the coffee drinks smooth and creamy. I don't know how PGS does it but a drink is still under $5 which is rare nowadays. The pastries are from a local vendor, serving some of the other small coffee shops around here, such as Neighborhood. Everything is delicious, including the croissants (if you go early enough you can get a kimchi spam one), cookies, muffins and donuts. Follow PGS on Instagram. They have pop up events with local vendors, donation based yoga, and more. read more

Yummy coffee and pastries. Beautiful space that was housing a fabulous photo exhibit when I visited. Will return to this spot again and again now that I found it!! read more

Honest opinion, While the inside and outside are beautifully decorated and designed i must say, it's very over priced and I believe they have one size for drinks. The ham and cheese croissant was also dry and seemed to be more on the stale side. Did not taste fresh and felt like this before on a previous trip. It's a small size croissant and it felt like it wasn't worth it. Lovely magazines, and other reading novelty that they curated on display, but the drink and breakfast was not it. I've been a midcity resident all my life, and I think about our community and it's clearly going to bring a different crowd. The old crowd knows they can get something else, elsewhere. Price reference: a drink and sandwich 17 bux. Yikes. read more

I live right around the corner from Palm Grove Social and come here about once a week. It's not usually very busy and the staff are super nice. Very unassuming, quiet, low-key place. Nice little patio in the back to sit and they also expanded the inside of the cafe and have extra seating now. Most importantly, the coffee is great, regular pours as well as espresso drinks. Good matcha drinks too. read more

This is a relatively new coffee spot in Mid City, and it has one of the cutest outdoor patio areas I've seen for a coffee shop! Note that it isn't directly connected to the shop, which itself is actually a small room at the corner of the intersection, but you can walk a couple steps down Palm Grove Ave to get to their patio area (stop at the gate). It was empty when I arrived around 10:30 on Sunday, but it was perfect for enjoying my cappuccino ($4.75) and croissant ($5.15). It felt like a nice little oasis, and I ended staying for an extra hour reading an e book on my phone. The cappuccino and croissant weren't anything special, I'm afraid, but I would definitely come back just for the pure vibes of the patio. Great for groups! read more

Vegan cream top! Very excited about this. I would come here more often if their WiFi could load :( it's extremely slow and honestly not worth connecting to it. If they resolved this I would be here more frequently. read more

Easiest yes of my life. I would abbbbbsolutely come back and it was based on my first five minutes in their shop. Aesthetic? Cute and curated. Hospitality? Warm and gracious. Coffee? Smooth and creamy. Pastries? Fresh and flavorful. Loved that it's unassuming and a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. My husband and I took ourselves out on a coffee date and it was oh. so. blissful. Wish I caught our barista's name because she was top tier! Thank you, Palm Grove! We'll be back! ALSO coffee was pleasantly and surprisingly affordable? Like, I said. Easiest yes, we'll be back of my life. read more

This location just opened up a couple of months and what a gem it is in the community. The coffee is delicious and well crafted. The people are very personable and excited to be there. There's a patio that I missed which I'll have to check out next time. Pastry selection was good and average priced read more

Love the smooth coffee, sandwiches, space, and staff! The discouraging factor is that there is someone smoking in the patio - yuk. They should have non-smoking signs. read more

i had the butterscotch miso latte and it changed my life. i hope they never take it off their menu. the shop is small but is a very cute creative space with vinyls and stuff. and the staff are super nice! read more

Some of the best lattes I've ever had. Super nice folks. Really great interior and patio area.

Overall a peaceful coffee shop/patio with reasonably priced, delicious drinks! Drink: I had a chai latte with oatmilk that came out to be $5.50, very reasonable for LA. It tasted great and had the perfect sweetness level (sweet but not overbearing). Service: Quick and friendly service. I was the only one there at the time. Ambience: Inside is small with cute decor but not much seating. Their patio behind their shop is big with many tables and umbrellas to shield you from the sun. The plants and greenery make the patio a peaceful environment. The area is kept clean. read more

Nice coffee shop taking shape here. I really enjoyed their outdoor patio out back it was very nice. Their menu could use an upgrade. I got the vanilla latte and it was delicious but not filled all the way to top. Also it's a small size need a bigger coffee. read more

Had a terrible experience first time coming, stood at the register, waiting to be helped and one of the baristas is coming back from her break. Allowed a guest to step directly in front of me not acknowledging me and then proceeded to ring her out and when I walked away in a bit of a disbelief with my relative about the customer service barista attempted to blame it on the customer she was willing to help without Acknowledging me at all, and then wanted to blame the customer for her lack of social awareness and not the barista poor customer service will never be back. read more

Cute spot and all the baristas are nice but it's soooo expensive. I got a matcha latte, a lavender latte, and 2 of the premade sandwiches in their fridge and my bill came out to $46 dollars... $52 with tip. I understand that everything is more expensive now but I don't think that the two drinks and sandwiches were worth the hefty price. read more

Best coffeeshop in mid city! The coffee here is excellent, whether you just want a nice espresso or a fun treat. Everyone's super nice, the seasonal drinks are always lovely, and the patio is such a hidden gem. Some other spots have opened up nearby and they just can't compare. I live within walking distance so I pop in a little too much, but I've always had exceptional coffee here and friends always fall in love with this spot when we hang on the palm patio! read more

pretty decent iced latte, but not so "wow". the pastries were yummy, i got a ham and cheese croissant. i did really dislike that on their lovely patio, there were people smoking cigarettes. never see that in LA. sigh. would be cool if they had a "no smoking" sign, at least in the morning when i'm just tryna chill and drink my coffee! they do have a multitude of other events, at night. i appreciate that they are attempting to create a little enclave in midcity. looking forward to what's to come to this new place - read more

Amazing coffee, great breakfast and lunch options sandwiches great drink selection. Beautiful patio area highly recommend

Solid americano? Check. Yummy chai? Check. Cute vibes? Check. A new spot in Mid-City hiding on an unassuming corner off of Washington Blvd. Their menu is straightforward and located on the wall next to the door as you walk in. They even sell merch, books, and zines! A really cute spot! Tried it on the way to the Wellington Square Farmers Market. It was well worth the drive over. 10/10!! read more
