Amazing coffee place with a lovely outdoor and indoor space as well as a loft. Obviously it's a well-known place in Arts District but many people come here to work and drink delicious coffee and Matcha. I will also shout out their breakfast burrito, which is crispy, crunchy and filled with delicious inside. My only regret was not adding avocado, but it's a lovely place to catch up with friends and or do your work. I even saw some people bring some books to read outside in the sun on the benches and while I don't have that free time yet, it's definitely a goal to come back to do that. Shout out to the lovely cashier who is very patient with my order and everyone who was very kind. read more

Love the interior. It's so bright and airy with tall ceilings and there's a good amount of seating with two levels. Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick. I think there's only 4 or 5 dedicated parking spots available out front so you'll likely have to street park unless you get lucky. It can be difficult to find as the entrance is more on Santa Fe than it is on Mateo. I ordered an iced chai latte and my date ordered a pour over. I think he was pretty satisfied with his drink but my drink was mediocre. Chai lattes are my go-to so it's easy for me to compare and the drink here just doesn't have as much flavor as I expected and tasted watery. Not itching to return but if I did, I'd order an açaí bowl or a pastry as those seem pretty good. read more

my friend and i checked out this coffee place while browsing around - the interior was nice and very spacious. it's a nice place for chatting and studying but there were no outlets - we got the moroccan mint iced tea (1/5) and the seasonal drink, citrus bloom (1/5). in all honesty, both of these drinks were not our favorites. the mint iced tea was bitter and had a weird aftertaste. they also didn't let us do sugar adjustments for the drink. for the citrus bloom, i don't really know how to describe what it tastes like...it was first acidic then sweet and then a bitter aftertaste..it felt like the drink was all over the place, very unpleasant and hard to drink. the drinks were also on the pricey side in which based off our experience, it was not worth it. - we got our drinks in a moderate amount of time. there was no one at the front to take our order so we waited a bit. the server that took our order gave an attitude that made it seem like we were taking too long to order. it also took a while to do our transaction when we did cash. the parking was not the best, it was very small and tight. overall, i don't think i would come back to give this place another try but it was a place to try out in the area. read more

My 1st time at Verve, parking was kinda crazy (I found a spot on the street, my companion found a spot in the Verve parking lot!!! Unicorn status). She had a latte (it was visually beautiful) & I had the hojicha. The portion was very generous which I appreciated but it was a really wobbly situation (see pic, I thought the container was going to fall over, ppl were parting away from me when they saw me coming LOL.) the staff is really friendly & accommodating. I had no idea they had food! def want to try some eggs next time :) read more

The Verve is superb and a cool spot to chill and not be disturbed. But if you do you'll be getting on my nerve so just go and disappear and never return. When it comes to enjoying your Java and just thinking about nada this is a place you'll definitely want to visit. I ordered a One on One along with an Espresso Tonic. I really loved how they presented it and my tonic came in a glass which I'm really not use to so that was a treat. Both of my drinks were spot on and lit me up for the day. The service was great and I can see they take the coffee culture very serious when some don't. They have an upstairs area also if you want to be in that deep thought. Plus they have a cute little patio too for that alfresco vibe. My only gripe is the parking but that's to be expected in this area. Overall it's a cool spot to sip and chill. Oh! A quick fun fact alert! They filmed a clip of a show called Imperfect Women here! And that's my take on this dine in spot, Peace out... read more

Although the food was good, I don't particularly think it was worth the cost. I feel like I've had better breakfast sandwiches and coffees out there, or even equivalent for cheaper. It's definitely a tasty option but I'd probably choose somewhere else next time. Sandwich in the bag was very fluffy, didn't finish it tho just didn't hit the spot. There was a decent wait inside, but ordering and getting our orders didn't take too long. Not much space to sit, most spaces were taken up. Cool area tho read more

This is a nice little spot to grab coffee and do some work. There's ample of space and well lit inside. They have their own parking lot or you can find street parking. I recommend maybe parking in the street if you can find parking, since the inside parking seems very tight. The person that worked the front was amazing and gave recommendation. The only draw back that I have is the price. It is a bit more than other coffee places. read more

Great cafe to study/work at in the Fashion District! Spacious, modern interior with two stories and outdoor area. The decor is nice and bright with lots of windows. Their food menu also has many options to choose from. There is extremely limited parking in their lot and street parking is difficult so be aware of that. Their prices are very high, $9 for a latte and $20 for a pre-packaged salad. Staff was nice and they are open until 6PM which is later than many cafes, making it convenient. Overall I had a good experience, and would like to return. read more

I've been wanting to come here for awhile and it was everything that people said and more! Street parking is a bit tricky but not impossible. We came on a Saturday at around 11:00 and wound up on the 4th street bridge which was just a minute's walk away. Verve is bright and modern with plenty of seating. I ordered the matcha latte and hubs ordered the raspberry mocha. Mine came unsweetened but there is simple syrup available for adjustments. We also shared the Breakfast Burrito, which was delicious on its own, but came with 2 kinds of salsa. The burrito was tasty, with all sorts of textures from the egg, beans, and tater tots. Service was friendly and quick! Looking forward till the next time! read more

All Verve Coffee locations are great, but this one stands out -- easily one of my favorites in LA. The interior is beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs if you want to hang out, study, or get some work done. The breakfast sandwich is fantastic -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- and the coffee is always spot-on. You can tell they take real pride in their beans and preparation. Between the inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and consistently excellent drinks, this Verve location is an easy favorite and one I keep coming back to. read more

$9 for an ice coffee and a free attitude. I honestly don't think I've been here the last 5-10 times and been happy with my experience. Every single barista looks like they're having the worst day of their life! It's one thing for one person, but all? They never greet you, make eye contact, and just.. make you feel welcome. And to expect a tip is wild. This use to be my favorite to go spot.. but probably never coming back. The ick feeling I get each time I'm here leaves me feeling like I did something wrong. read more

I always recommend this place to people who wanna work remotely. This place has great inside seating and coffee drinks. Inside there's ample amount of room to work either first floor or upstairs to their more secluded areas. They also have an outdoor seating area. read more

I give it 4 stars because it covers the basics and quite more. The ambiance is really nice - or at least I happen to like it . - This industrial, minimal approach is something that I happen to like. The staff is always friendly and easy going. The music is for the most part good which is a huge plus. The quality of the coffee is good, not the best, but not garbage either. Above average. I have been going to a few of their locations and the Arts District one is one of my favs. I will keep going there, it's a nice hub. Cheers! read more

Verve in the Downtown LA Arts District is so much more than a coffee shop. The people behind that bar are not just baristas -- they are work concierges. Every single day they field the wildest, most specific drink requests, charging needs, and a million other needs with grace, speed, and genuine kindness. All so they can they host us -- for hours. Full workdays. Meetings. Calls. Creative sessions. All of it. It runs smoothly because they make it run smoothly, and a good design makes the space flow. If you love working from Verve the way I do, please remember: this is not just a café. It's a community space powered by real humans who work incredibly hard. Tip generously. Be courteous. Clean up after yourself. Make eye contact. Say thank you. Places like this don't stay magical by accident. read more

Verve Coffee Roasters - Classic Burger which sometimes has this lovely frilly cheese and sometimes it's more like a cheese burger but either way it's delicious. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I work in the area and have been coming to Verve Coffee Roasters for over a year now. The coffee is consistently excellent. I usually order the iced Americano, smooth and perfectly balanced every time. My wife loves both the iced mocha and the Moroccan Iced Tea. Everything is crafted with care and consistently delivers. The pastries are just as impressive. The cinnamon roll is my personal favorite, fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to a great cup of coffee. I bought some of their beans and drink espresso at home too. They also have a great points rewards program, which makes it even better as a regular. For larger orders, I appreciate being able to order online in advance. It makes the process seamless and efficient. The vibe and environment truly set this place apart. It is welcoming, relaxed, and a great space to start the morning or take a break during the workday. The service is consistently outstanding. I'm great with faces but not names. Agia, Anthony, Gabe, Matt, Jason, Brian, Ogie, Ed, Danielle? and others have all provided exceptional service over the past year. You can tell they care about both the craft and the customer experience. Thank you for being such a strong part of the neighborhood. Cheers. Ps. They are really good at taking photos! read more

What a beautiful coffee shop! This was my first time at Verve Coffee Roasters, and I was blown away by the setup of this location. With its high ceilings, earthy tones, open and airy layout, and clean, modern design, it's exactly the kind of place I love to live in. It definitely has that hipster vibe--and I'm totally into it. We ordered a Gibraltar ($5.50) and a Mocha ($7.25). The coffee was good, but a bit pricey for what it is. The Gibraltar didn't stand out with any particularly unique notes, and the Mocha was just okay. That said, if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd still stop by often. The vibe here is just that good, even though I've had better lattes elsewhere. Parking is super limited in the small lot out front. If you come early in the morning, you'll probably snag a spot. read more

Great corner coffee spot! It's super large and has many seats available, great for studying, catching up with friends and family, or reading a book. There's an outdoor area as well, which has ample space. The chocolate croissant was delicious. I highly recommend this coffee spot for those in the Arts District! read more

Aesthetic woody interior and lots of tables with good height for working but I wish the tables were bigger and more optimally shaped for studying, particularly in the upstairs area. There are no outlets in sight but the WiFi is pretty good and there's no password. My latte was a little bit bitter and smoky, but most of all probably the SALTIEST latte I have ever had. It did not have a sweet aftertaste at all -- not even the milk -- which I was surprised by since they use Clover milk and I had just had a latte somewhere else with Clover where I felt the milk made it feel very sweet. The honey lavender draft was really smooth, though; I was a big fan of the texture of that. read more

You call it coffee. I call it my emotional support drink. lol. Without further ado let's begin this Verve review. :D Verve Coffee Roasters (est 2007) is a modern coffee shop roaster founded by two passionate entrepreneurs, Ryan O'Donovan and Colby Barr. This location is at the Art District section of DTLA. Of all the cafe shops I have been to, this one stands out. I like their pulchritudinous decor and open layout - perfect for working or catching up with friends. Moreover, its atmosphere is charming and cozy with plenty of natural light. Their menu list is modest for coffee to pastries. After perusing their menu, I ordered a Cafe Au Lait and Avocado toast. Both items were good. Prices were a little pricey but match the quality. Staff were cordial & professional. Parking lot is very limited albeit plenty of side street parking. Overall, it's a lovely coffee roaster shop. I recommend you visit. read more

Retracting my previous review of friendly staff. I wanted to sit upstairs, but they weren't open yet. I asked several employees what time they would open. One said 8:30 another said another hour and another said someone was setting up the chairs and would open shortly. The food was ready prior to the second floor being ready. I asked if we can have the food when the upstairs was open since there was a lot to carry. We went upstairs to get a table and went back downstairs to ask if they can bring the food up. The person I was with went to the bathroom and while I was waiting for them I heard the staff talking smack about asking if they can bring the food upstairs since the restroom isn't far from the staff area. How difficult it is to fulfill a request by a customer when you are in customer service? DO NOT TALK ABOUT CUSTOMERS WHILE THEY ARE STILL THERE!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU AREN'T FAR FROM THE BATHROOMS. All this AFTER tipping them. I will no longer be a patron here. RUDE RUDE!! read more

Came by to try to reset my environment with a new coffee shop. Verve is nestled in Arts district about a block away from the girl and the goat. Parking is scarce as it is all street parking. Didn't notice any paid parking lots nearby but I don't doubt there is one in walking range. Glad to have tried this place. Free WiFi which is a plus and plenty of seating whether it be outdoor, indoor or upstairs in a loft style setting with a few stools. The only downside is there are no plugs- I searched upstairs and downstairs and with no avail just sat at the nearest open table. So just a heads up for people with the intention of getting work done on their screens- come with an already charged device- or bring a battery pack as I saw a few people equipped with them for their laptops, tablets and/or phones. The ambience here is calm and nicely lit with natural sunlight on a good clear day. Clean for the most part but no one came by to wipe down tables and lacked with restroom cleanliness. They sell pastries, food and obviously your choice of caffeinated or non caffeinated beverage: which then comes delivered to your table after you order by number system if you're dining in. We weren't impressed by the iced mocha and strawberry cold foam matcha we purchased. They were not only on the higher price point (which we don't really mind as we understand the area) but the flavors weren't really special and we didn't feel like it was strong enough. The strawberry cold foam matcha definitely lacked any strawberry flavor. read more

I was so in love with this location that I forgot to write about my matcha. I normally drink hot matcha latte with pistachio milk but since it's been so humid in LA recently I decided to give a try an ice matcha for the first time on my life ! I ordered the same matcha latte with pistachio milk with ice and it was absolutely delicious and refreshing l. The pistachio milk which is creamy made the consistency of drink to last longer. If you have not tried a drink either coffee or matcha with pistachio milk , you should definitely try this milk, you will thank me later. read more

One of my favorite cafes in LA. The two-floor open space is just so great and I love the variety of seats. Such an amazing environment with aesthetic interior design and great cup choices! The staff working there are also always so friendly. The only thing is that there are no outlets at all so it's a bit unfortunate. Parking is limited but I usually get lucky and find a spot when people are leaving, if not there are also quite a lot of free street parking spaces around. read more

Man this place is COOL! If you know the LA Arts District you know this place is perfect for it! The interior is huge with so much seating available and an overall very cool, inviting aesthetic! The staff was very friendly and the Americano I ordered was great! The person I was with tried 2 of their iced teas and was also not disappointed at all! They also have a bunch of outdoor seating. This place is perfect if you want to do some work or to meet up with someone! I feel 10x cooler having found this spot and anytime I have the opportunity to bring someone there I will (so I can look cool). read more

Their breakfast burrito is good! Lots of flavor, with crispy hash browns. I didn't do any modifications, but bacon and/or avocado would be perfect. The salsa is okay, I didn't love it. The portion size is good; it's a smaller burrito compared to some other breakfast spots, but still plenty of food IMO. The location is kind of tucked away. I got mine to go, but the coffee shop is a beautiful, bring space with lots of seating. read more

Stopped by Verve Coffee Roasters in LA and was genuinely impressed. The latte was perfectly dialed in smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. The breakfast burrito was a standout, especially when paired with the green salsa, which tasted authentic and full of flavor. I also tried the chilaquiles, which leaned on the bright and citrusy side, definitely authentic in profile, though I'd personally love to see a red sauce version added to the menu. Overall, portions were generous, and presentation was beautiful. Verve nails that balance between craft coffee and a thoughtful food menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're in LA. Staff was attentive and friendly! read more

The vibe inside is very calming and open, which was really nice. I had a chamomile tea so didn't have the chance to try their coffee but our group seemed to enjoy it.

What a beautiful space! I love the open concept with the high ceilings with 2nd floor loft. I love the patio. I love the vibe here. Service was not great. The person taking our order had no personality, super dry and it felt this was the worst place to be. We didn't feel welcome at all. When we got our food, it was just dropped off, not much interaction. Honey Lavender Draft Latte - I was expecting it to be creamier, but it tasted ok. Not too much lavender flavor. Caramelized Pear Toast - This was outstanding and delicious! I would definitely comeback for this, but it's a seasonal toast, so not sure how long it will be here. I was yum though. Loved the toast, thick and perfectly crisp. The mascapone was decent and the caramelized pear was great! Drip coffee - tasted sour to me... Maybe because it was just after I sipped the honey lavender Parking is street parking or paid lot, bring your patience. I so loved the space! The coffees were ok. Service was pretty bad and minimal.
