    Cute lil spot with cute lil drinkies. Love that they have crafty creative lattes for you to choose from. It's small, don't expect to come in here and use as a workspace - it's more of a pick up and go situation. The workers are friendly and they put up with all my questions lol. Lovely spot, I'll be back!

    Tiny little Australian owned coffee shop with delicious drinks. Good quality coffee/matcha with friendly service. Not a lot of space to sit, but there's three chairs inside and a bench outside I think. No bathroom.

    Tectonic is a tiny cafe serving up the best Cafe de olla that I've tried. You can tell the baristas are meticulous in how they make coffee. Very delicious and I'll come back

    Such a cute and hidden Aussie owned little coffee shop! Literally we were driving by and only because of the bright blues and wavy ocean vibes did it catch our attention! Definitely a hole in the wall shop, but they do have a couple of parking spots, a few seats inside and a bench outside for seating. My friend and I walked in to warm greetings yesterday as we popped in for some afternoon caffeination. I had an iced nitro cold brew which was tasty for $7 and my friend had a tonic, we were both pleased with our drinks. Such a cute shop that I will surely pop into to try more of on their menu in the future! As I walked out I joked that I, too, am Australian owned much like this coffee shop - working for an Australian tech comp for 16 years. Har har! I should mention, they did have a vegemite caramel latte drink for $8 on their menu keeping to that line! That will absolutely be what I try next time~ Taaaaaaa!

    This is an Australian owned coffee shop and the coffee was amazing! Highly recommend if you want a good cup of coffee! Staff is always so friendly which is always a plus! Its small little place so it does get crowded but its totally worth it! My favourite is their vanilla past iced latte. So good!

    Expensive but great Australian coffee shop in the West Hollywood area! I visited this small coffee shop during Pride weekend on a Sunday and it was decently busy. The small space was adorned with Aussie décor and there was a small table and seating area by the window. As a Southeast Asian, I had to order the Milo Mocha as it was a nostalgic part of my childhood and this did not disappoint! The ice drink was chocolatey and yummy! The milo combined well with the coffee. I also absolutely loved the crunch milo bits on the top. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because of the size relative to the price. It comes in a really small plastic cup for $9!!! It was very expensive for what you get. However, if price and size isn't a big component for you, it leaves this as a coffee shop serving up some great drinks. I would visit again if I wasn't trying to save too much.

    My husband and I randomly stumbled upon this place after eating at Mamie across the street. It's a cute Aussie-owned cafe with a little outdoor patio. The indoor space is tiny with no seating (basically just a counter to order) and a few tables outside. I got an iced Cafe de Olla Latte and my husband got a hot Vanilla Latte. I liked the cinnamon and star anise flavors in my well-balanced latte. I was hoping for a bit more of that orange peel flavor though but it was super subtle. The latte art on the vanilla latte was beautiful. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks although it was a bit pricey for $7.70 per drink but then again, this is LA! Parking: free in small lot with limited spaces, or you can find street/meter parking nearby.

    Love this place!! Coffee is consistently delicious and I love all of their flavors. Would come every day if I wasn't so far! It's a small shop but filled out well, seating and merch/beans available in a cute display. Baristas are always super nice, friendly and knowledgeable! Exactly what you want from a roaster's shop. I've loved everything I've ever had from here

    Matcha Latte w Oatmilk

    Tectonic Coffee nails the balance of quality and vibe. My Matcha Latte with Oatmilk (hot) was smooth, earthy, and perfectly crafted. The space is clean and minimalist, making it easy to relax or focus. Service was quick and friendly--ideal for a morning boost or mid-day reset.

    This was my first time stopping by, decided to try it out for a quick breakfast. I was lucky to get parking right up front! I ordered the golden Tumeric w/oat milk and it has to be the best I've had, no joke! Also tried their ham & cheese croissant which was a hearty size ( I saved half for later). I didn't catch the girls name that helped me out but she was super welcoming & very sweet. Amazing customer service, pretty small inside but they do have an outdoor covered area to enjoy your coffee/pastry. I will definitely be stopping by again when in the area!!

    Fairy Latte

    The service here is always excellent. They have some really fun drinks that I really enjoy trying. If you're looking for new fun coffee or tea, this is the place! The fairy latte was fun and tasty.

    Tectonic Coffee Cafe is a small business whose products are just as good as the big players. If you want some coffee while driving around West Hollywood and don't want the corporate flavor, check this joint out.

    Just happened to walk by this place to try it. It was really cute and love that it's Aussie owned. Great coffee flavor and service. I'd come back when in the area.

It has a cozy, tucked-away feel with plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to relax with a coffee. We ordered a mocha and a latte, and both were solid. They were well balanced and not overly sweet, which I always appreciate since you can actually taste the quality of the espresso. We spent some time enjoying the outdoor seating and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the visit. If you're in the Melrose area and looking for a good coffee shop to unwind, this is definitely worth stopping by.

This place is so cute that I've driven by it a million times thinking it was a fancy restaurant - not a cute hidden gem coffee shop! This particular shop is incredibly popular and always full but if you're lucky you'll get a seat in their adorable little outdoor area. They have some belly up counter style seats along the sidewalk and also a side garden with a few tables & chairs, plus some cute cushions on the steps for ground seating. Once again, I'm obsessed with the aesthetics at a Verve location. They really seem to focus on rustic wood vibes inside and incorporating nature in a fun way. I always love their flash nitro cold brew here. It's so smooth and refreshing! I also tried their matcha and loved it. Plus their chocolate chip sea salt cookie was money. I'm sure I'll be back to Verve in WeHo! Really enjoyed it yesterday.

We waited in line for about 45 minutes to an hour, only to find out that they ran out of sliders. We were incredibly disappointed. I wish they could have put up a sign of some sort to let everyone know they ran out. However, the place itself was nice, and I did end up getting a latte. I loved the latte, so that made up for the missing sliders to some degree. Although the latte was good, I don't see myself coming back due to the long wait and them being prone to running out of goods.

Do be aware that the cup is on the smaller side than most places. Unfortunately did not get to try the breakfast sliders everyone has talked about so I will be back to try those another time. The overall cafe is pretty small but it's a got a cool aesthetic. Has a nice seating area around the outside with shade. Do expect to wait in line and parking can be a challenge as most spots in the area are usually taken as it's street parking. Went on a Saturday afternoon and waited about 25 minutes. I don't think I would wait anymore than that for this place but it's worth checking out. The staff are very kind too.

    I've been here a couple of times and thought it was time to review this establishment. Located at…read morethe busy intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Fairfax in West Hollywood; you won't be disappointed. It's a small space with a few tables inside with multiple large sliding glass doors that open onto the intersection on one side and a courtyard on the other side. It gives the place a nice urban feel with plenty of foot traffic outside and people watching. You order from one of the two kiosks outside of the kitchen. You select from the menu, make your payment, and assigned a number to notify you when your order is ready. They send messages to you via text. I was with a friend mid-afternoon on a Saturday. There was just a couple of people inside when we arrived. The evenings are usually busier with several people inside and on the outdoor courtyard which has a few tables. We both ordered cheesecake and we loved them. Very fresh, flavorful, and creamy in texture. I had the Oreo Cheesecake and my friend had the Mocha Cheesecake. My friend also had a Fusion Mocha Shake which he said tasted great with the right amount of mocha flavoring for his taste. We spoke to the owner/baker after we ate to compliment his desserts. I asked how business was and he said unfortunately slow. He mentioned how restaurants in general were having a hard time in the current uncertain economy. It has nothing to do with his products. The desserts and treats are great. If you can, give this spot a try. And the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the desserts. There's a promotion for new customers. Whatever amount you spend on your first visit, you earn that amount in credits towards your next purchase. It's all automated through your phone number. Open everyday until midnight. There are complimentary board games to play while dining. Limited parking in the plaza or street parking. It's great to have a quality dessert café in my neighborhood.

It's a petit venue with comfy couch seating, chairs and cute table that you can connect. We did that since there were about 7 of us. You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment. There's so many fun options on the menus from scrumptious desserts, hot and cold beverages like teas and coffees. I had to have an iced boba beverage. So yummy. Our server who may also be the owner was very nice. Quick service, like we received text messages that your order has been placed and it was brought to our table within minutes. Incredible and he was very cheerful. While conversations were happening I noticed a cool shelf and on the shelf were games! Fun board and card games that continued the our mini party! This place was open until 11pm so it cool to have a coffee shop that stays open late. I took public transportation but there is underground parking at the venue, there are tons of parking meters and parking in the residential area. This place is YUMMY!
