I'm so glad I stumbled upon this spot. They had the most equipped barista, she was amazing, super knowledgeable and kept the cleanliness of cafe on its toes okay!

What an absolutely charming coffee shop! I saw their advertisement for quality matcha when driving by and had to pop in. Scott provided me with excellent customer service. He was kind, professional and informative. The space has such good vibes... clean, orderly and serene. Loved my latte too :) Love that they have signs up for no loud talking, nothing like a coffee shop designed for the chill souls. read more

I really enjoyed the coffee and pastries. I had a Latte (as usual!) and a jalapeño/cheese croissant and it was fantastic. It was my first time there with my coworker, she ordered a matcha. The service was amazing! They took the time to tell us about the menu and had recommendations. Great ambiance! Good place to go and do some work or just enjoy you coffee. read more

Surprised I haven't written a review of this place. This is about my 3rd time here in the past couple of years. Place is quiet and perfect for getting work done, reading, etc. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The barista I had yesterday was very friendly. I ended up with a dark roast Brazil pour over and a sage and cheddar croissant. The croissant was really savory and strong in flavor. It got a bit greasy halfway through it but I know that's the bakery issue and not the coffee shop. The pour over coffee had a nice, bold and subtle kick to it that I liked. The only thing I disliked is that they provide you with the Land o Lakes half and half creamer packs. I prefer that if I'm going to use dairy creamer it's a better quality. I'll still be back but maybe will just order a mixed coffee drink or use an alternative milk option. read more

I had a great first visit at The History Coffee! From the relaxing jazz music to a 10/10 iced banana latte, I recommend! COFFEE I tried the cold Banana Latte (with almond milk) and it was delicious!! I liked how it came with real banana chunks + it seemed to have a decent amount of caffeine from how productive I was able to be lol AMBIENCE/SERVICE The service was great - they even bring out your items to your table. I came here to work and chose the place because of the amount of seating inside. I was not disappointed as I found a seat immediately and connected to wifi quickly. It was a little hot inside but may be just my personal preference. Overall, this spot is clean, had calming jazz music playing (not too loud), and was a great spot for people who came for a chat as well as for people like me who had a laptop and came to get stuff done. (note: I didn't see too many outlets, so try to come with your laptop/phone charged) PARKING I found a metered spot right in front of the shop - it was a few dollars for a couple hours as expected. I heard there is also more parking at the nearby residential area. read more

This place is located on the corner on the bottom floor of a living quarter. There is plenty of free street parking, just pay attention to the street signs. This shop is very quiet with people working/studying on their laptops. I ordered an iced matcha latte with a cream top and it was quite delicious. I also ordered a chocolate and banana bread and a lemon poppy muffin which were moist and tasty. read more

I wanted to try a new coffee shop, and this was right by my friends place so we decided to check it out. First thing I noticed on the menu was a photo from Squid Games (the main character holding the cookie from one of the challenges). The cookie from the show is a Korean cookie called Dalgona, and they make them handmade at this cafe. Their signature drinks have crumbled Dalgona on top of the drinks which I thought was so cool. The cookie gives it a bittersweet taste, and melts into the coffee which tasted amazing. I got the Vanilla Iced Latte with the Dalgona on top. There is also a good amount of seating, and is a great place to get work done. I definitely will be back! read more

This place is super cute! If you're looking for a nice spot to come and chill, study or have a cute coffee date. This is it! The cashier was super friendly she went over all the question I had about the menu. The prices were pretty reasonable honestly. The only annoying part is parking, but then again what place in LA doesn't have bad parking now a days. Definitely give this place a try! read more

I had a great experience the first time I came to this coffee shop. The WiFi worked well, my matcha was good, and I found metered parking. This second time I went it was also great! I ordered a banana latte for the road and was honestly surprised at how yummy it was. The banana chunks made me love it. It took them about 5 minutes to give me my drink, so the wait wasn't terrible. Something new I did notice were signs around the cafe that there is "No Loud Talking" allowed- which I honestly love. It's very much a working cafe, people have their laptops and are doing their individual projects. It's a great set up to get things done. read more

Trying to find coffee shop in the area to make a stop and spend some time on my laptop, then finding History Coffee on Yelp with pretty high rating and great reviews. Parking was kinda tricky as expected around this area, but managed to find one of the last spots available. The couples serving that time were extremely friendly and helpful and I loved how their menu offered some peculiar options like their signature Banana Latte I went for, which seemed to be the most favorite one. Plenty of seats with power outlets and I could see not few of the guests did come to work, so you could expect the ambiance was pretty focus time friendly. They did offer some pastries and Chia Puddings but not heavier meals. My drink, which was only available in iced, turned out awesome. They even had small banana chunks on top. It was refreshing, not overly sweet, and the banana flavor surely didn't overpower the pretty bold coffee and even complemented it very well. Would recommend! read more

The History Coffee - Egg burger - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

RACIST! UNSAFE TO STAY IF YOU'RE BIPOC! (I think white and Asian people are the only ones who are safe here.) I found this place for my friend and me to meet. It was the first time she and I were patronizing this place. When I walked in, I immediately noticed that the clientele consisted only of Asian and white people. When I found my friend, an African American woman, I could tell something was up. Sure enough, she told me how the proprietor, an Asian man, refused to let her blend two teas into one, and instead made her buy two cups for each tea bag, naturally charging her for both teas. We dismissed it as a mom-and-pop place that needed the money. Then, after 5 minutes of talking fairly quietly because we were discussing personal things, the man came up to our table to tell us we were being too loud! And, while I'm not Black, I sure as heck know what he was really saying and the racist undercurrent. Especially because my friend rebutted the proprietor by recounting a call an Asian guy next to our table had before I arrived, where he was basically yelling into his phone -- to which they did nothing about! To save my friend from any more of that kind of racist crap, I told the man we're leaving, and he wouldn't be getting my business (I hadn't ordered yet). The man refunded my friend for her TWO teas, and we left. I guess you have to at least give it to him for being a racist with integrity. Moral of the story: don't patronize this business in solidarity and/or because it's unsafe for you to stay. read more

Another great coffee shop in K-Town! Quiet and clean on the inside, probably a great place to work - saw lots of people on laptops. I got a hot pistachio latte with almond milk and it was delicious! You can taste both the coffee and the pistachio flavor. Parking really wasn't that difficult - lots of 2 hour spaces, some metered, some not. Obviously the streets aren't wide open with parking spots but this is LA. I did notice the closest free street parking has street cleaning on Wednesdays 12-3 so def be ready for metered if that's the case! read more

Had a great work session at History Coffee there's street parking (be careful of the time and street cleaning) and meter parking. I like the layout because there's ample natural light and lots of seating options. They also have a lil patio and hella plugs inside for work sessions or meetings. The menu seemed pretty extensive but i only tried the americano. The espresso was fresh and smooth. The barista was very kind and helpful answering questions about the menu. Their credit card system was down that day but they were accepting Venmo and cash. Will definitely be back! read more

The ambiance here is so very beautiful and also they have a cool neon sign. Plays smooth jazz. No parking lot so street parking in a neighborhood. Shout out to the stranger whose house I parked in front of yippe. My sibling ordered a banana latte. She thinks it's kind of sour I think it's good. Definitely tastes like banana. The service is good and very nice very friendly. Despite the riches and wonder of this place the sorrow persists alas alas. Papa weeps forreal forreal read more

I got the Matcha Dalgona Latte and it was just okay. To drink it the best, you have to mix the Dalgona with the drink and wait for the Dalgona to infuse in the matcha to sweeten it since the matcha is a bit bitter. I found the mix of the matcha and Dalgona flavors to be unique and I'm not really used to that mix of flavors. The service here is good too, the staff were kind when I was ordering and directed me to a table and cleaned it off when I mentioned to my friend I wanted a table with outlets. Overall, this is a solid cafe to go work/study at. There's limited seating places and outlets, so I would plan for that. There is only street parking for this cafe I believe. read more

I had no idea this place existed until I was looking around at the map last week, but I thought: I NEED to come here!! upon walking in, I was greeted kindly. the atmosphere of the place is very modern and cozy, and it would be a good place to get work done for a job or school. the guy who took my order was very nice too. I ordered the MinCho latte because I had never tried that combination before with coffee!! I absolutely loved it!! the mint flavor at the bottom was a pretty green color and the flavor went so well with the coffee. the chocolate shavings on the top were a nice touch too!! I will definitely be back here, probably to try the banana latte (-: read more

I can't believe its been a year since my last review. I've been here periodically in the year but review wise its been a while. I'm happy to say that consistency and stability are green flags and the reason I will continue to come back. This is a beautiful clean well lit space, with friendly staff and consistently good flavored coffee. I bought a bag of their Brazilian roast beans to try at home when I can't make it in and the dalgona coffee with oat milk to take away today. Starting my day off right. read more

Cute little cafe. Ordered a hibiscus iced tea and a black sesame croissant filled with cream cheese jalapeno. Iced tea was good, sweetener was self added so I could adjust to my taste. The black sesame croissant was delicious! I loved that the filling had a whipped cream cheese texture as opposed to just a lob of cream. I love that they also open later compared to most cafes, so this is a great spot if you want to work remotely. The AC is great inside, and the interior is pretty modern. Wifi is also good. Only con for me is the limited amount of eletrical plugs, you'll have to fight if you want one. Other than that, the neighborhood has ample parking, bonus that my barber is also just down the street from here. read more

Came here for a mid-city meeting. There were maybe four other patrons inside. Once my other party arrived, we got our drinks and began talking. At one point, a woman came and sat down near us watching a video on her phone, no headphones. No. Headphones. Two minutes later, the owner comes over and interrupts my meeting and asks us to lower OUR voices. Our normal speaking voices. In a coffee shop. She doesn't say anything to the woman watching a video without headphones. My appointment and I were truly stunned. The sign on their door literally says "Study, Work, Meet." Clearly they should scratch off that last one. read more

We were in the area and want some good coffee. I am glad we decided to give this place a try. The banana latte is very delicious!! I don't even like banana, but the banana latte is amazing!! Coffee is very smooth, it was a perfect blend of everything!! Egg sandwich is also very good!! read more

My new favorite coffee spot! I've been here three times in a row already and I'm obsessed! I've mostly gotten their matcha but I did once try just an iced latte w vanilla and it was really good! I'm not big on caffeine but it was surprisingly good and didn't leave me jittery. The service is always so friendly. They immediately greet you as you walk and it's so welcoming. And as you're leaving they also give you their thanks. It's a very quiet space inside, if you need a place to study. Although sometimes when I walk in, there's people on their laptop and headphones so I sometimes feel like I have to tiptoe around lol! Love love love this place! TRY IT OUT! read more

Coffee shop tucked away in mid city. Street parking is a little tough here but you can always park in the neighborhood and enjoy the Victorian style homes on the walk to the cafe. This was my first time trying this place despite eyeing it for over a year now. I finally had a weekday off to make the drive during the day and not be faced with traffic. Customer service was great. It just happened to be their 3 year anniversary so I got a cute free coffee mug. I ordered the banana latte (iced as always) and an almond croissant. The almond croissant was a bit dry but the marzipan center was tasty. The banana latte was good. I loved that they used real bananas as a topping but sort of wish the actual banana flavor in the drink also came from real bananas. It is a banana flavor which made my latte taste like the runtz banana flavor which I'm personally not a fan of. Nonetheless, I recommend this place. It has its own unique drink flavor unlike other shops in la. read more

One of the Best Coffee Shops Around! I always order the iced Spanish latte with oat milk--hands down one of the best I've ever had. It's smooth, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. My boyfriend is obsessed with their banana latte (yes, banana!), and he swears it's the best coffee on the planet. You can really tell everything here is made with love. We've also tried a few of their pastries, and they're super fresh and clearly made in-house. You can taste the quality. We usually mobile order for convenience, and our drinks and snacks are always ready right on time. Love the vibe, the service, and most of all, the drinks. Highly recommend! read more

As a matcha connoisseur who has been to every popular and aesthetically pleasing cafe Los Angeles has to offer I must say this place is in my top 5! The apple pop tart is delicious leave one for me because they only get about 2 daily! The blueberry jam muffin is runner up sooo yummy! All the pastries are delicious. High quality ingredients. If you come with a friend get the breakfast sandwich to share. It thats big! It is sooo good. Matcha quality is through the roof. Definitely not a gimmick. I'm sure the matcha has a work visa straight from Japan! It's that legit. The staff here is so kind and helpful. So patient too and that matters during busy mornings when you're indecisive. Anywho if you want real matcha and you're hungry you should definitely try this place out. read more
