There's a lot I want to say about this spot but I'm a try and keep it short lol…read more My first time visiting was this past Sunday, May 31st. I had my whole day planned out with a list of events to attend but first I wanted to stop by Patria and grab some coffee to start my morning off. Located in a parking lot next to Wilson Park on Compton Blvd and Alameda Street you'll find this nice cut lawn in front of this small white building, Patria Coffee Roaster. Depending on your time of arrival, the parking lot can be full but it's cool cuz there's also street parking available. I was able to park in the lot. After walking in I was welcomed and greeted with positive energy from 2 young ladies who I forgot their names but we'll just call them "A" and "C" lol. A guy to my right was sitting next to the window working on his laptop. And two others against the wall sipping their coffees and doing whatever on their phones. A customer was at the register ordering while another customer walked in to stand in line behind me. I let her go in front of me while I took pics and recorded footage. I like the atmosphere and space a lot. It has a very nice decor. Artwork, pictures and murals with history displayed along the walls. Grab and cold drinks available for purchase. Nice music playing that wasn't too loud but just right to complement a chill coffee shop vibe. "A" was friendly and patient as shared with her this was my first visit. As I browsed thru the coffee menu before making my selection I noticed more costumes coming in. I ordered a medium sized Americano which is $3.75 but I requested to add some hazelnut creamer as well as some almond milk which totaled out to $4.75 which was quite exceptional to me. Giving the location, the quality of service and the quality of the coffee. Not to mention to overall experience. I even thru in a $1 tip. I support the business and love the space. It feels welcoming and safe. The restroom was clean. They also have many different events held there. If you're ever in the area definitely pull up and check em' out. It's black owned as well. I actually ended up sitting there in the lot sipping my coffee while working on my video to post on social media. The coffee was good and tasteful. Didn't need any sugar. Great vibes and great coffee. You can even go the park right next door and get your steps in or just chill. I definitely recommend coming here. If you're passing thru the area or coming to the city, do yourself a favor and pull up. Check em' out. Grab you a coffee or something. Prices are reasonable and the community is welcoming to all individuals.

While driving home, we noticed this coffee shop and I'm so happy we decided to stop by!…read more Coffee 8/10 We ordered an iced cafe de olla and a quad Ibarra mex mocha. Both were soo flavorful. I will say, the cafe de olla is very spice forward. I taste a lot of cloves and star anise. A bit different than others I've had but I really liked it. The mex mocha was smooth and rich. I did see that their slushies are highly rated and now that it's getting hot, we'll def be back to try them! Food 10/10 They don't have food items on their menu but there are baked goods! We ordered a cream croissant looking muffin and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were warmed up and were absolutely delicious. Vibes/Ambiance : 10/10 We came on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. There were people working there as they have free wifi and outlets. The decor and vibe is cute! They have art on the walls, pictures, plants, community flyers/events, and statements that make you feel safe and at home. The staff is so friendly and welcoming too! There is a little parking lot right next to the shop and we didn't find it hard to find a spot. There is a park next door so I can imagine on the weekends, parking might be a bit tricker. Loved that we found a local gem like Patria and will def be back!

Wow that is some fresh coffee! I've been using Haya's medium roasts in my morning espresso routine…read morewhich has produced really tasty shots with great crema. I usually have at least two bags stocked at all times. I also really respect that Haya has kept the prices very reasonable given the economic climate and I really appreciate it.

I usually don't like these spritzer coffee drinks but the coffee base was really nice and smooth. I liked it so much that I came back and bought some grounds as a birthday gift for my brother! You can buy their grounds online as well. The prices are fair. The menu is simple and straight forward. The bad: They're only located in farmer's market. They should open a store front! The interesting: There was a sign that explained what Haya meant (sorry, forgot what it was), but at the time, my Japanese nanny said that Haya didn't mean that in Japanese.

You can also tell that a lot of care and thought went into designing this space. I'm obsessed with the blue tile and the perfectly coordinated retail wall. While I was here, I saw such a wide variety of customers, which I loved. You can tell everyone is welcome and that people genuinely feel comfortable spending time here. Lastly, I wanted to shout out the two employees working on 7/31 around 8:00 a.m ("BigVee" & a gentleman with longer hair who made my avocado toast) They were both so friendly and welcoming. It was early, so I would've understood if they were still waking up, but they were both bubbly, kind, and made my morning a little brighter. If a manager sees this, please let them know how amazing they are!

The ambience leans cozy‑industrial, warm, and trendy, and that signature roastery aroma that hits you the second you walk in. It's calm, clean, and perfect for posting up with a laptop or just enjoying a slow morning. Service is consistently friendly without being overbearing. The baristas actually talk coffee here, they'll walk you through beans, roasts, and their seasonal drinks with genuine enthusiasm. The drinks are the star. Their Colombian‑forward menu is smooth, rich, and never bitter. The cold brew is velvety, the lattes are balanced, and their drinks always hit the . If you're into coffee that tastes like actual coffee (not dessert), this place is a great place to visit. Miguel C.

Fast forward to today, and it's become one of my favorite local coffee spots. My order is almost always the Whiskey Vanilla coffee--it's smooth, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent without being overly sweet. Every cup has been consistently good, which is probably why I keep coming back. The shop has a laid-back vibe, the staff is always welcoming, and it's the kind of place that makes supporting local businesses easy. Whether you're grabbing your daily caffeine fix or trying them for the first time, Black Ring Coffee is absolutely worth checking out.

They make a decent cup of hot brewed coffee. I take my coffee black and it is a good accompaniment to their avocado toast. The avocado toast is delightfully fancy and filling, but last time it was too salty - I wonder if I can ask for "no salt" next time. I have previously enjoyed the scones from the pastry case - it's supplied daily by a bakery, so go early for those because sometimes they run out. There are some standard flavors/sources of coffee beans, but they also mix it up by featuring different ones. You can buy a bag of beans that they can grind for you according to the way you brew your coffee at home. Note that they don't have decaf beans if you want that. Plenty of parking but just a few stools to sit inside, I usually just order to go. They will answer all your questions and give you recommendations. Due to a couple of nits I would score 4.5 but rounding up to 5 for the positive experiences I've had over a few years.

The baristas are friendly, fast, and somehow always in a good mood, with good vibes. The crowd is a fun mix of students, remote workers, and mysterious characters who look like they're plotting their next great invention. The caramel macchiato is the star of the show, balanced, smooth, and sweet enough to make you feel good. The mocha, a flavorful sidekick with rich chocolate notes that punch through like a well‑timed flavor to the palate. And beware, the chocolate croissant is a rare artifact. If you don't get there early, it's gone, probably stolen by someone with excellent taste. A charming hideout for anyone who loves good drinks, good people, and a little everyday magic. Miguel C.
