what a hidden gem! was skeptical at first but it now it is one of our favorite coffee spots in the eagle rock area. there's only one worker behind the counter and they do a really good job of making the drinks by themselves. ooo! another plus is their cool cups. i went home and washed out the cup just so i could reuse the cool cup once more read more

It is a small cute coffee shop located at an apartment complex, and they have one of the best Einspanners in LA! Definitely worth a visit. The staff is also very friendly. read more

PDA Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

PDA Coffee's drinks are stellar! Their shop is quite small and located at the corner of a little apartment community, but it's a great addition to the Eagle Rock area. Great to stop by and grab a drink to-go, as there isn't much seating (just a bench to wait for your drinks, and a few outdoor tables and chairs). I loved their little Mexican and Japanese-inspired art and book nook adorning their large open window! We ordered their Lavender latte and Matcha latte, and both were great. They were perfectly proportioned, as I could really taste their lavender syrup (which I dare say is homemade?) come through the espresso, and their matcha was slightly sweet and perfectly balanced (I love when a shop gets it right)! They know what they're doing here. I also loved their cute wide-mouth cups with their own logo and address printed on the back! I imagine they have a very small team, as the one barista was holding up shop and making drinks for us on the spot. I feel when one person is operating, they know how to do things right. He was proportioning his ingredients and espresso diligently, and kept things fairly clean and simple. I appreciate their attention to detail in making their drinks! As for their pastries... I love a good lemon poppyseed muffin, but theirs was a bit too sweet and too thick of a lemony topping for my liking (if it was less frosting and less sweet, it'd be perfect!). I'm not sure where they source their pastries from, but I imagine they're local vendors! Overall, a solid spot to stop by and pick up a quick drink and pastry to-go. Wishing them some luck to stay in the neighborhood! I can tell they put great care into their coffee and drinks, which makes the biggest difference, and a fan out of me. read more

Great spot for no frills coffee. Great taste. Friendly and clean. Challenging parking spot.

I was in the area, open to trying a new cafe for matcha and i came across PDA Coffee! I had a pretty good experience. Wasn't a wait. The barista was friendly and i did not feel rushed at all. The cafe is pretty small, so it's more of a grab and go. They did have seating outside but it was nice experience. The pastry i got looks better than it tastes. The matcha was good! I can't complain. :-) read more

PDA Coffee is a charming little spot with a minimalist, almost clinical aesthetic. Super clean and modern. I've been here twice now and both times it's been the same sweet lady behind the counter running the show solo. Just a heads up: if there's a line, it might take a bit to get your order since she makes each drink after taking them. But honestly, it's worth the wait. On my first visit, I tried their mocha. Solid and satisfying. Came back recently and noticed they updated their menu, so I went for the matcha einspanner this time and oh my god... hands down the best matcha drink I've had in the area. Milky, smooth, and perfectly balanced between the earthy matcha and just the right amount of sweetness. Prices are on the steeper side, but it's pretty standard for the area. Only thing to note: it's street parking only, and I had to circle the block twice before finding a spot. I'll definitely be back especially for that matcha. read more

PDA Coffee is one of those rare spots where you feel genuinely appreciated every time you walk in. The staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming no matter how busy it gets. You can really tell they put care and attention into every drink. The coffee is consistently excellent, balanced, smooth, and made with intention. It is clear they take pride in what they do and it shows in both the service and the quality. Always a comforting experience. Great coffee, great people, and a place that feels like a little daily reset. read more

I've had PDA Coffee bookmarked for weeks, so I'm glad that I got to visit last Sunday afternoon! The shop's in a quiet area with nearby street parking. It seems like a casual, grab-and-go spot since there's limited seating with some stools and umbrellas outside. I arrived near closing time and there was only one staff member at the front, and they were friendly and quick to prep my order. The main reason for my visit was to pick-up a Too Good To Go baked goods bag, which included four random pastries (croissant, cruffin (?), donut, and muffin). The pastries were stale, but they could be reheated at home. I liked the chocolate-filled croissant the most; albeit dry, it was actually visually appealing and had a good amount of Nutella-like filling. With daylight savings time in effect, I also ordered a small Iced Matcha Latte with almond milk and no sweetener for a little pick-me-up. The drink had a beautiful color, but tasted alright. It was more milky than I expected, but didn't dilute the matcha too much. read more

For being such an incredibly small space, almost everything about the place seemed extremely inviting. The coffee was also really good and the matcha drinks looked extremely appetizing as well. The barista was very friendly and took really good care of us. Parking might be a bit difficult, especially since the cafe is on Eagle Rock Blvd., but it wasn't too bad when I went. The fact that they open at 7:00 is also a huge perk. Definitely would love to try the matcha drinks the next time I am there! read more

You have to try the Double Matcha -- it's sooo good! The sweetness was just right, and the milk-to-matcha ratio was perfect. I'm honestly obsessed and will definitely be coming back. I even got lucky with parking right in front (they also have a little parking lot, which is a plus!). As soon as I walked in, I was greeted right away. I didn't catch the server's name, but she was super sweet. The shop itself is small, but honestly really cute and cozy. Loved the whole vibe! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning, only one person ahead of me, so wait wasn't too long. The space is very small and minimalist but clean. I got the matcha and my boyfriend got an oat latte. Their cups are super cute and the drinks were good. I'm really picky with matcha and this is a coffee shop I'd go back and get matcha from! Plenty of street parking, might need to walk a little bit. Def would come back and people should give this place a try! read more

Love the sleek, minimalist decor! After a Cycling Pigeon class, I reward myself with a delicious latte at PDA- their caramel latte has been my go to. They also have delicious pastries. Friendly service, too! read more

Truly, one of my favorite coffee shops of all time. The coffee is smooth and not too bitter or acidic. I personally always get an almond milk latte, but have had friends and family try the other options, and have heard they're all great. The baristas are amazing and friendly. PDA is truly the place where everybody knows your name (or, especially, your coffee order). It's a cozy space with some limited outdoor seating, perfect for a grab and go coffee to on a walk or before a long work day. For a nice, trendy but also neighborhood vibe, definitely go to PDA. read more

Cute place to grab a coffee togo! There are small short stools outside for sitting but no tables. Located on a medium-busy street, there are street parking options. Minimalist vibes, pretty simplistic menu with a few unique things. The lavender latte was pretty good, milder coffee taste (1 shot of espresso) but good lavender flavor with mild sweetness. Recommend! Matcha was decent, good color, matcha wasn't super strong but decent for a coffee shop. My expectations for a matcha is usually low at non-Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese cafes that are specialized in coffee. Can't say it's super up there in general but for the Eagle Rock area it's definitely above average. Wouldn't go out of the way for it but if I happen to be here, I wouldn't be mad about the drink. The staff seem friendly and I find the way they make their drinks really cool. Everything is by weight so the recipes seem pretty precise! I will give them props for the intention and time put into each drink. read more

Super chill coffee shop located in Eagle Rock. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Vanilla Latte- 10/10 Simple but smooth espresso. Lavender Latte- 10/10 Not overpowering on flavor. Very tasty. If you like a boba milk tea type of flavor check this out. read more

PDA Coffee - Inside - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not only does PDA Coffee serve my FAVORITE latte I've ever had (the espresso they use is so delicious. It doesn't leave a tangy flavor. It doesn't taste like electricity like some coffee shop espressos do), but now they serve the most amazing matcha in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area. I've had Kumquat matcha, I've had Modu matcha, and the matcha from PDA supersedes the matcha from these places. They use an ample amount of matcha, I mean check out the green!!! Also, the staff is so friendly and cool and make every customer feel welcomed! The inside of this shop is beautiful. The color choices are so funky and fresh! The equipment itself is also stunning and clean! This is my favorite coffee shop for a reason. I'll be a customer for life. read more

PDA Coffee - NEW AND IMPROVED MATCHA LATTE. LOOK AT THAT GREEN!!!!! - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

While running errands in the area, we decided to try out this new cafe. The calming lavender blue decor, accented with pops of orange and yellow, immediately made us feel relaxed. The space is a bit small, with a capacity for three customers. There are indoor and outdoor seating options, which is perfect for waiting. We ordered an iced dirty chai with oat milk and an iced cold brew (black). I appreciated the spiciness of the chai, which had just the right amount of sweetness. The cold brew was very refreshing! The barista was quick and welcoming. They accept cash and credit. Street parking is available nearby. They also sell whole coffee beans and bottled/canned beverages such as Topo Chico, Liquid Death, and Olipop. This cafe is a great new addition to the neighborhood! read more

Honestly I was taken aback at how good their double matcha latte was! I haven't been able to find a decent matcha latte in the area until I saw this cafe on TikTok. I'm sure it's going to go viral because this drink is very similar to Bonsai on the west side! read more

PDA Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Quaint coffee shop that offers a small menu with all the classics and a few specialty drinks. I've had the lavender latte which was pretty standard. 5/5 I also tried the mocha which was tasty as well, definitely on the sweeter side 4/5. Drinks are on the price, your side compared to some of the other coffee shops in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but it's a good spot if it's convenient for you. Parking is limited as they only have street parking available. Staff is friendly and works fast. Limited seating if there is any, sometimes they don't bring out the benches. read more

You must try their lavender latte! The syrup they use tastes very natural, and not overall sweet. There isn't much seating at the cafe, so this might be a better grab and go spot. If you can grab a seat, the vibes are immaculate (almost retro). The coffee cups are so cute as well; I've never seen something like them before. Definitely a solid coffee joint to check out. read more

Love having this cute little coffee shop in the neighborhood! Previously there were multiple times I tried going during their opening hours and they wouldn't be open. After a few times this became too frustrating and I stopped going. However, the past few months things seem to be back on track and they're always open when I go I only get matcha from here and it's really good, especially when the owner makes it. Speaking of the owner, she is so sweet and remembers my order... it's the little things that keep someone coming back! My only suggestion would be to get a little jar of dog treats. My dog expects a treat every time we go in any coffee shop, girl just knows thankfully I almost always have treats on me, but would be such a nice touch if they offered some. No seating inside, but they do have a few umbrellas outside with stools to sit on. read more

this is one of my favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood. my fave drink is the luchador, but they just expanded their menu and i'm here for it! there could be a bit of a wait bc it's usually just one person working but it's worth it. cute little spot where you grab and go but they have tables and chairs outside. def recommend! read more

PDA Coffee - First time trying out this coffee spot I loved the matcha with the cream top - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a cute setup, this! PDA Coffee--short for Public Display of Affection--is a tiny, stylish gem with just two seats inside and two out. It's the small setup, but it feels gigantic with energy. The two baristas were wonderful--friendly, engaging, and full of positive energy. The cortado was fantastic: neat, strong, and a solid staple of the coffee quality. We also had a cinnamon-style roll that hit the spot. Atmosphere! Chill music, fantastic coffee, and warm service--I'm digging this scene! I will return, even from Riverside County. I can go on. Highly recommend. read more

PDA Coffee just opened on the border of Eagle Rock/Glassell Park/Highland Park - not far from lots of other coffeehouses. It's on the ground level of a residential complex. No dedicated parking and no indoor seating. They have a few tables with stools and sunbrellas set up on the sidewalk, but it's clearly set up for takeout. The shop is small with no indoor seating or kitchen. Pastries are sourced from Cake Monkey and include muffins, croissants, morning buns, and donuts. The pastries weren't labeled. For drinks, they have drip coffee, cold brew, espresso drinks, and tea (matcha, hojicha, chai). No pour over (sorry, Mr. Froyo). Some of the drinks come in three sizes, small, medium, and large. Spice donut ($5): it's like a crumb donut, the texture was strange. The interior of the donut was dry and dense but the exterior seemed moist but grainy. It was a large cake donut. Cappuccino (12 oz, $5.75, 2% milk, $6): A bit bitter but flavorful, tasted a bit better when it cooled down Prices are a bit higher even though there's no place to sit inside or park outside. I noticed they're serving coffee from Mother Tongue. Didn't see anything else for sale (merch, beans, etc.). Warning, the floor is not flat, so watch your step. read more

Great coffee and friendly service! Pretty new so it's clean, minimal. If the weather were less hot, siting outside would be nice. We got two cold brews and they were great- kinda light, not sure how long it was brewing for or if the beans were just a light roast, light on the flavors kind of beans. That said, I do agree with another review here- the prices are a bit more than most other coffee places in east LA/DTLA. With tax and tip, the average drink comes out to more than $8. I wouldn't mind that if the drinks had a bunch of ingredients and other flavors, but the menu is pretty standard. Anyway, great coffee for a grab and go or if you live in the area! read more

This place has very good quality drinks but they are never open on time. I was standing in front of the shop for 20 minutes waiting for them to open and one of the guys that works there comes out from the side door and says nothing to me about them not being open for the day. It was not posted anywhere on the front that they were closed so I was waiting there for half an hour trying to be understanding that they might be running behind. Nope, turns out they posted it on their instagram story 10 minutes before they were supposed to be open that they were closed that day and that was after the guy walked right by me. Another customer came up to me while I was waiting and had the same complaint about them being unreliable for hours. I drive out of my way to support them and they can't even communicate to their customers appropriately. I will not be coming back as this is the 3rd time something like this has happened. read more

This place serves consistently delicious cappuccinos and cold brews, the only two drinks I've ordered as yet. The baristas are always friendly and make the drinks with precision, which (along with whatever beans they use here) accounts for their dependable quality. It's a small but really mellow spot and I hope it's in the Eagle Rock area for many years to come. read more

Usually love this place for their well done matchas however I came to visit on 9/23 around 11:30 in the morning and they were closed? Doors locked and blinds down, the whole shabang :( what really made me sad is that there were no signs out posted as to why they were closed for the day. Hopefully they're good but was really disappointed on the no signage or updates to Yelp/google read more

The best local coffee shop in eagle rock . All the baristas are amazing and super friendly . The coffee and matcha is great especially when they release new things in their menu . They excel in making do with the space they have . A great space that I hope continues to prosper and grow as the years go by .!!! read more

I love that it's a really clean space and minimal but still have fun bright pop of colors. The baristas are friendly + quick service. Their matcha is pretty high quality and isn't too sweet. I'll try the Luchador coffee one next time! Parking wise there are a lot of neighborhood and street parking. This coffee shop seems more of a to-go coffee shop (vs. one you bring your laptop to work), but they still have a couple stools inside and outside. Better for single people or smaller groups like 3 max if you want to chill and hang. It's a good pit stop when you need good coffee in the area though! Talked to the baristas and loved to learn this shop is Latino owned. It feels good to support small business and real people!! read more

Very underrated coffee shop! I think because they're so small and lowkey folks don't know about it, and maybe I should gatekeep, but I won't. Both their matcha and coffee einspanners are incredible; def for those who like a creamy drink. The cream foam on top is soooo good. Their regular matcha is also great. The Mexican mocha is super good, with a subtle kick of spice. It's tiny inside so you won't be sitting inside, but there are usually a few spots to sit outside. Overall I highly recommend. I know they're small and it's usually the owner working, so definitely go support these folks. read more

I really love it here! I live in the area and noticed it was open. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk. It was delicious and creamy! It's a cute coffee spot and it also Latino owned which makes me feel welcomed! I can't wait to come back and try more of their drinks. read more

PDA Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

PDA Coffee has opened in Eagle Rock after a long-awaited opening, and I have to say I'm quite pleased with the result. I was fortunate enough to be one of the first customers they had to try them out, and not only are the owners very kind and friendly, but they also make a mean latte. The coffee is very creamy and delicious, with plenty of dairy and non-dairy options to choose from, and the overall atmosphere is bright and friendly. It's a great pit stop while you're going about your day. It's designed to be a stop-off for a great cup of coffee and not necessarily a coffee house to hang out in. They are there to get down to business and make you a delicious coffee pick-me-up. The location couldn't be better, being right on Eagle Rock Blvd. There are a few coffee places in town, and this one adds a fresh, vibrant vibe to the neighborhood. read more
