    Went here with my sister. Plenty of room to sit and work. Coffee was cool. Music was a vibe. I'll be back.

    Went on Sunday, got a vanilla latte & my friend got an onyx. I enjoyed the latte, my friend had to add a bunch of sugar & cream for her to enjoy her onyx, it had charcoal in it so it was an acquired taste. It was pretty busy when I went. Loved the set up, there was a live DJ & plenty of seating. People were vibing to the DJ, some were studying, a lot of bicyclist can just to get a drink too. Also right when you walk in on the left there's like a community self with tons of information about upcoming events etc. definitely a nice vibe, got to come by and try the food next time.

    Visited with my partner a few weeks ago, and we were blown away. The baristas were really welcoming and kind and had great recommendations for us. Quick wait and delicious drinks, and my wife had a pesto sandwich, which was really, really good. Tons of seating, including couches, tables, and work stations. When we sat down, we were able to look at beautiful art made my local and independent creators (and we even bought a piece to take home!) and books about African and Black-diasporic experiences, art, and culture. We can't wait to return to Sip & Sonder for work dates, relaxing afternoons out, and coffee meetings with friends!

    The espresso beans are wonderfully balanced and made a delicious breve latte. I also like the stylish and comfortable seating area which resembles a high end lounge or hotel lobby. Great parking access and in a good location. I definitely recommend.

    I absolutely LOVE this coffee shop! Located in the heart of Inglewood, this black owned coffee shop bring all the vibes and soul! The ambiance was very lively! Almost all inside seating was taken. There's additional seating outside, where my friend and I chose to sit. The service was great! The girl who took my order was super friendly, and made good recommendations, as I was struggling to pick a beverage. I ended up going with the Onyx Vanilla latte at her suggestion. It was delicious! This neighborhood has so much soul. While sitting outside drinking my latte, we met an older veteran named Walter! He told us all about his life, and it turned out he's from the same small town in Louisiana as myself! It was the perfect morning, and I will DEFINITELY be back!

    Sip and Sonder is a cozy spot with a warm atmosphere and solid coffee. We ordered 2 cappuccinos. We really enjoyed our cappuccinos. They were delicious and flavorful, definitely a highlight of our visit. The pastries however were just ok. I had better elsewhere and for the price we were expecting a bit more compared to other coffee shops in the area. The pastries prices felt a little bit higher. The service was very good no issues with that. Overall it's a nice place to relax or catch up with a friend if you are more into coffee than sweets.

    I spent a day in Inglewood and stopped by Sip & Sonder, a Black-owned coffee shop. I really appreciated the sense of community investment I saw throughout Los Angeles during my visit. The atmosphere was vibrant, with eclectic decor and a great energy. I enjoyed my drink, and the space felt like a lively gathering spot, with people either working on their laptops or engaged in light conversation, all set to a great playlist.

    Ambiance is great, I tried two of their muffins . The blueberry one and the morning glory, Both delicious. I had their Onyx ( vanilla charcoal ) with an added shot. It was tasty, and delicious. Good book selection, and read some of " the color purple " while I was there. Service was good, friendly and gave good recommendation for coffee and pastries. Will definitely come back to try out more of their coffees and do some graphic design. They have plenty areas to work at. Nice art on walls, and also doggie friendly :)

    Sip & Sonder has a welcoming atmosphere with a spacious design that balances cozy chairs and large tables, making it perfect for work or larger groups. The flat white had good texture, and the coffee was well extracted. It would have been the best flat white near LAX if it had been served hot enough. The barista mentioned that the coffee machine is a bit old, but steaming the milk for a few more seconds would get it to the ideal temperature of 135-155°F (around 60-68°C). Still, I enjoyed the coffee and drank it all. I'd be happy to return again if I'm in the area.

    UGH. SO. GOOD. Where do I begin? The ambience is a vibe. Very cozy, urban, chill, lovely. They played my favouriteeee music, Raveena and Mac Ayres. Their music they play is just chefs kiss. Their coffee is quite good!! I got the iced Onyx Latte with macadamia nut milk. The charcoal, espresso, and sweetness were well balanced and tasty. The art in here is beautiful and unique. Perfect place to get work done, read, hang out, just a lovely lovely cafe. The baristas were very sweet and helpful too! I loved seeing the community and familial vibes that Sip & Sonder had. 10/10 would recommend, will be back.

I'm giving it a 1 star rating because the coffee I bought for myself and wife just tasted really bad. She ordered the Buna Miel and I ordered the Vietnamese Latte. Buna Miel was overly sprinkled with cinnamon. The taste was hard to put my taste buds on. It was just awful. My Vietnamese Latte was just as bad. It had a bit of a flavor of banana I mine. I took 3 sips and couldn't force myself to drink much more of it. Completely wasted money. But the service was friendly, lol. This place is not a coffee shop I would ever comeback to nor would I recommend to anyone else in my inner circle. OH! and why did they charge me .75 for ice in my latte and $1 for ice in my wife's drink if they were the same size cups?! I felt that was a rip-off. I didn't like this place.

I think the tea flavor could have been stronger, but the texture of the boba was good. I did think it was a bit odd that my iced drink was served in a paper cup while my friend got the usual plastic cup. The croissant was delicious. It had a nice guava filling, but the cream cheese was thinner, more like a condensed milk consistency. Still very good, just different from what I was expecting. My friend got the iced cheese coffee with biscoff, which was pretty strong and tasty. The restroom was not terrible, but could have been cleaner.

Inside, the communal table is packed with worker bees and moguls in the making. I don't hate on that. Plenty of shaded outdoor space to get work done or talk if you need to do so. The drinks tasted great! I had the maple walnut latte upon the recommendation of the super sweet and cute male barista. Later, I ordered the almond croissant and the Hojicha Latte. Incredibly tasty! The drinks didn't get overpowered by the sweetness, and the Hojicha Latte had a chocolate like earthiness that I adore (a lil' on the subtle side for hojicha, but I still loved it). When they completed my drinks, one of the sweetest baristas sang the Beatles' Michelle to let me know. She (beautiful as well, inside and out) made my day! Perhaps my month, lol! I highly recommend this place for the quality food, exceptional service and amazing vibe that welcomes all people. As for the parking? Park on Sycamore, the side street west of Sycamore, take the Metro Expo Line (I don't know the cot damn letter, I'm old school, lol) or ride the bus lines (212, 35/38) to get there. It's not that bad if you are willing to walk. I'm glad South LA finally re-attracts non-pretentious neighborhood gems like House Coffee Co. Better late than never in my eyes.

Opened in April 2024 after a 2.5-year struggle, this husband-wife-and-dog owned specialty cafe has quickly become a West Adams gem, bringing high-quality craft coffee to an underserved urban area. Housed in a charming building that was once a family home, House Coffee Co isn't just another coffee shop -- it's a labor of love creating the community space this neighborhood desperately needed. Coffee Program: They use Boxx Coffee for their drip coffee and No. 1, House Blend for their expresso beans. Pastries Program: They outsource their pastries from Cake Monkey. Location/Parking: Located on the SW corner of Jefferson and Sycamore.. Parking can be found on Sycamore and along Jefferson. Ambiance/Decor: Neat chill ambiance with interior and exterior furnishings to sit and have a snack on. You can also do some work or study. Entertainment: They have some board games to play with if you have time to play. Service: Service was great. The barista was welcoming and offered fun facts about the shop. Drink Of Choice: Had a drip coffee. They were brewing peruvian coffee beans. It was quite solid and went down the hatch quite nicely. House Coffee Co For Thought: Would like to patronize the shop again.
