OAT MILK LATTE ICED: -- nice balance of creaminess and boldness, maybe just a tad bolder than I like but very good -- quality java, nearly bought a sack -- very smooth -- not sour, nor bitter RATING = A Great interior design inside. So very modern LA. Street parking is vague and leaves you wondering if you will earn a ticket. There is a reference to "permit", but nothing was crystal clear as I recall. read more

Hello! Just updating my previous review. My wife and I live and work in the neighborhood and we've been coming here for almost 2 years. The coffee is incredible. I get the Purple Fruit and Wilder Blend pour over and my wife gets the Purple Fruit as well. She also drinks the mocha, peppermint tea or Moroccan ice tea... About a month ago, one of the managers here Jason introduced me to these drinks so I bought the Purple Fruit beans and a pour over kit and started drinking it at home in the mornings since we both get up early. My wife tried it and she loved it. She asked me to get a few bags incase they run out so I did! I buy Verve coffee for my team and people in our building all the time. I enjoy buying good coffee for others as much as I enjoy drinking it myself. Their lattes and mochas are really good too. I also bought some beans for my mother in law so she can share it with her friends back home in Seoul and she said they loved it! My coffee game has been elevated and I loveeee it! Bonnie, thank you soo much for the thoughtful birthday message on the cup. She gave me the Wilder leftover on a shot cup and it was the first time I took a "shot" in 4 years. I had a nice chat with Ed about gratitude and counting our blessings. Jason and Brian have a lot of deep knowledge and experience with coffee. The team here really work hard and really know and enjoy their coffee. We are not perfect but they still strive to serve us everyday. We are truly lucky to be served by you and you make our day better whether we realize it or not. It's an experience and an adventure. It is personable and natural. Really excellent and exceptional service all around. Thank you to everyone. Jason, Brian, Ed, Matt, Anthony, Daniel, Agia, Pars, Ale, Bonnie, Kayla, Alex, Ozy and the rest of the crew. Cheers! read more

One star for the great customer service and ample seating. However, my coffee and matcha were so disgusting my party and I did not drink them and tossed them in the trash. Nearly $50 on drinks down the drain The coffee was extremely sour. Which means 1 of 2 things and an experienced barista should know... I understand they were busy and maybe the barista on duty wasn't paying attention to the quality, but it was (and truly no exaggeration) the worst coffee of my life. I'm saying plain Kroger's was better than whatever we had here. The matcha... now messing up matcha is an easy feat. However, it's a new experience for me to have a "green" matcha drink and for it to taste of no matcha and only oat milk HOW? Truly I'm asking. How does that happen? The most green drink, you'd think I'd be heavy on matcha and too bitter. No. That's not the taste you got at all. Straight milk. HOW? Overpriced and disgusting? Hard pass. I have never wanted to pull a "Karen" in my life until that moment. Because wtf. But I have issues with standing up for myself and my earned money, so I simply left rather than bringing it up to an employee. And I will say the lady who was at the cashier that day and took our order was friendly and sweet. I think she tried to warn us on what was actually good to order, clearly I did not heed. read more

Verve is a great coffee spot for brunch or working. Very friendly staff, delicious coffee (although I only get Americano). Large open space with plenty of seating and greenery. It's nicely separated in sections so it still feels cozy. We tried their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. The Portuguese muffin was sooo tasty with the slightly spiced sausage patty. 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

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

Pretty good coffee! The food is really good too! I've tried a few items like the BLT sandwich, chilaquiles, breakfast burrito & their heirloom toast and all have been delicious.

Friendly service. Good drinks. Great for working remotely. I ordered the raspberry spritz which was perfect in this summer heat. Refreshing and not coyingly sweet. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Extra seating upstairs. Bonus: as a sensitive human, I appreciated the subtle and pleasant scent of the bathrooom hand soap. Not the usual pink, drying generic soaps. Didn't stay long enough to order from the food menu. But it's good to know they have a number of options. I'm told the breakfast burrito is a good go-to. Would love to visit again when in the arts district. read more

We really enjoyed this coffee spot. We came in for breakfast and we got a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito which were both delicious. The girl who took our order was very patient and accommodating, as the sandwich I wanted was no longer available but she took the time to make some substitutions to the current breakfast sandwich to make it more to my liking. The ambiance is amazing, we sat right by the window where we could see a lot of greenery. We will definitely be returning. 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

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

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

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

But i do like their chai latte and acai bowl. so i'll cut them the slack. 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'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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had a great time here overall. My drink was refreshing, and I really enjoyed the seating area. It was my first time visiting, and everything was going well until I had an unpleasant interaction with one of the employees. I had parked my car in the parking lot without realizing that customers weren't allowed to park there. When the employee informed me, I immediately apologized. Unfortunately, she was very rude and seemed frustrated with me, even though it was an honest mistake. The interaction left a bad impression and took away from what had been a great experience. Because of the way I was treated, I won't be returning. 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

Verve Coffee Roasters - Breakfast burrito, really good! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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
