What a community staple! Woodcat coffee is amazing, the staff is always warm, helpful and kind, and the vibe is just right. Always playing the best tunes, plenty of seating and chill area since they also have the space next door which has tons of seating and if you come on the weekend, you might be lucky enough to be able to enjoy your coffee and snacks in a vintage VW Vanagon! Wha more could you ask for? Pastries you say??? They've got some of the very best BEST I've had with several compassionate plant based options too!!! I melted. I'm a pile of goop us g voice to text. Go to Woodcat! It rul read more

Love this spot on Sunset Blvd in Echo Park. Great coffee, especially the Dinocat espresso. They also have a Long Black on their menu, which I prefer to an Americano since the crema and flavor is more prominent. The inside seating isn't super comfortable but there are additional tables outside in front of their retail store, which is ideal on a nice day. Baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. There are some pastries for sale but no real substantial savory food items. Nonetheless, it's a go-to for me. read more

Stopped for coffee and chilled after catching breakfast with a friend. Very much a hipster vibe. This shop really thought she ate but unfortunately she did not :( This is a small coffee shop that has a home goods store right next to it. We accidentally went in there first because there was no signage. We were greeted by a friendly barista who did hype up the menu. The specialty section of their menu is pretty out there. I always try to order from there at coffee shops because it's their own creations that they have put thought into so you'd think they'd be good. Also they do have a restroom! We sat outside along the street and the chairs weren't too comfy and it was loud due to the street being right there but it's not their fault. I ordered the Burnt Sugar Latte and it legit just tasted like a chai latte. No coffee flavor at all. It was just oat milk with a slight taste of spices. Didn't taste anything like the description, was pretty disappointed. Portion was also tiny. 2/5 Overall, this place has a cool vibe and can definitely be a place to chill of you don't mind traffic noise BUT coffee was not it. read more

I came here for the first time on a weekend morning and was super impressed. The lattes are amazing-the balance of espresso taste and milk frothiness is AMAZING. The employees are super nice. I arrived by foot, weekend morning parking is easy but later on in the day best to come by foot or another way. Will visit again A+ coffee. read more

Horrible lol, Got my drink and a layer of cinnamon on top. Nothing better than gulping a clunk of cinnamon when drinking from your cup. My fault tho for not stirring or looking at first. Overrate coffee for the price. read more

What a cute coffee spot! Came here with my friends & our dogs. They do not allow pets, but on the bright side they do have outdoor seating. We just took turns ordering and watching each others dogs. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte & the Miso Butterscotch Cookie. That latte was nice, smooth, and refreshing. The COOKIE, struck the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and buttery richness that made it unforgettable. I honestly wish I bought 5 more. Oops, looks likes I need to go back again. Also a plus, the store next door is pretty awesome. Really unique items that are also ethically sourced. The owner, I believe he is the owner, was super chill & very welcoming. read more

small coffee shops, has small coffee cups for 8$, sorry not sorry, not my style to pay so much for a tiny sip and a hipster vibe

Nice place! The drinks were good we got a lavender latte and black tea. I have to admit the black tea was very much just black tea (high quality black tea) but to be honest I have a ton of black tea at home I should be drinking so I made a mistake ordering it. It was still very good (I like black tea) the service was very nice. Shout out to the uber fashionable baristas!! Also all the patrons (minus me) were fashionable so shout out to them too. Free parking in the neighborhood. Unfortunately I struggled to parallel park because I am simply losing my skills :( alas we shall persist. Also it was too hot outside (nothing to do with the cafe I just love complaining that's what yelp is for right?) booo the sun :( read more

Out of all the local coffee shops, this is my favorite. Sometimes when it's really early and i dont want to be the only one at my office, I come here. It doesn't have everything for everyone, but it does have the things that I love the most: - opens at 6 am hell yeah. i can park on the street for free! - has two standing shelf areas - yes for my old achey back - outlets - check - the curry puff pastry is vegan and really good - the employees are friendly - the coffee is solid - it's cozy and has locals. i love it. oh, i AM a local and i feel like i belong here. not in many other places. but here, yes. notable things ( good or bad) - i park in the neighborhood around the corner when there's no parking on sunset - they have wifi - they have cute stickers and cups - there's a CUTE chiuhuahua who is always sleeping smashed against the glass in the fitness studio next door. and a creepy woman that ogles it around 6 am (me) Come get coffee and get work done... or come to Studious down in chinatown. Tt's my coworking space! read more

I liked the vibes, very cozy but not much seating if you were to study there. Good for reading a book (saw some people doing that) or working on your laptop (other people doing that). I tried to do a mix of both but was unsuccessful, not because of the cafe but because of my own lack of work ethic. The lavender latte and black tea drink did keep me motivated to continue that grind tho. Would come back again I liked the vibes of the cafe and there's a good amount of street parking in a nearby neighborhood. Con it's parallel parking and I'm not epic at it read more

I've really grilled like this place. It's got a really wonderful environment to sit in with the other seatings my favorite super early in the morning. To check, the croissant has an addictive property that would require a 12 step program. The coffee had a wonderful flavor to it but the environment is very welcoming. I would recommend starting my day every day if I could. Shravan is a champ! Say hello to him! read more

I love this place so much. It reminds me of my favorite coffee shop from back home in Pittsburgh. This has really become a reliable go to for me since moving to the area. I've tried just about everything there at this point, and you can't go wrong. The beans are also excellent if you prefer home brews. I saw some previous negative reviews, but in my experience, all of the baristas there are great. I'm usually in and out but I have hung back to read. It has just enough seats and it quiet enough to get lost in my reading. I really appreciate the local neighborhood coffee shop feel and happy I have this place to go to when I'm missing home. read more

The best always my preferred coffee spot in echo park. Chill, unpretentious and great staff and coffee. Love these guys.

Stopped here thanks to a friend's recommendation. Cool earthy vibes. Espresso was delicious. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu.

I stopped by here with some friends on a Wednesday afternoon for a coffee. I had an almond milk latte, which was very good. There was some seating inside, but we opted to take our drinks to-go. Service was fine; I didn't think the barista was particularly friendly, but oh well. read more

Very chill! The best part is the outdoor seating around in front of the little shop next door that Carries lots of cute, small-business gifts. Got a chai latte that was probably equally spicy and sweet. Topped with cinnamon which was fun. Wifi was perfect, and there was lots of seating for getting work done at 7:30 am on a Monday. Staff was very patient with my menu questions at the beginning. J also got my best friend a sweet beanie with their logo for ~$35. Pricing is average for LA. read more

It was rainy winter day in LA and my friend and I were laying in the house all day, just enjoyng the greyness of LA. Nothing could really compare to the amount of joy and peace we were experiencing. But going to this little cozy coffee shop really was the only place that even could fit to that level of comfort. The coffee was delicious and the crossaint was perfect. The service was what could be expected at any coffee shop. read more

Awesome specialty coffee spot with good pulls and great vibes. Staff is very friendly and clearly have a passion for the craft. It's the kind of place that makes you wish you were a local. Service is prompt, and the team is generously staffed, so wait is minimal. Lots of seating thanks to an adjoining business with a patio. For-here serviceware is charming and aesthetic. Prices are reasonable. Shoutout to my baristas, Emma, Sam, and Shravan! read more

Coming back to realize that the coffee really isn't that good. There are many other better coffee shops in the area. Previously I reviewed this place as similar to the 'soup' episode of Seinfeld -you know the one- so don't expect any sort of kindness or customer service. This stays the same. If you are not familiar with my reference- Expect to be greeted with utter disdain. If that might throw off your day, simply go somewhere else read more

First I drink coffee and I know things. Lol. Without further ado let's begin this coffee bar review. Woodcat Coffee Bar (est 2014) is a neighborhood coffee shop & roaster in Echo Park, Los Angeles. They have dedicated & friendly team of baristas would love to serve you some good drinks and pastries. From the outside it looks small but once you enter it's quite spacious. Interior decor was very hip and cool with wooden bar stool chairs and tables. Upon my entry, I quickly looked for their menu which was posted high up in the wall and there are decent coffee drink and teas to choose from. I decided to order an Iced Latte. And it was perfectly concocted to my liking. Service was on point and prices were reasonable. Moreover, they sell merch and coffee bags. Staff was ebullient, energetic, amiable and professional. Customers were respectful and hippy. Free Wifi available. Parking is mostly metered but there are surrounding public lots. Overall, I had a good order experience and refreshing iced drink. I will definitely come back and I recommend this coffee spot. read more

Was glad to find this place since I wasn't having much luck finding a good place to grab a cup of coffee and work for a bit. Saw this was about a 10 minute walk from where I parked and decided to stop by. The vibes in this place are super chill and I noticed quite a few people there were on laptops. The cashier was very friendly and saw me with my computer and told me the wifi before I even ordered. With that being said the coffee and croissant I had were pretty good. I'm knocking off a star because after about an hour the wifi started going in and out which made it hard to finish my work. I still recommend this place though read more

Apple Maps told me that this coffee shop would be open until 6pm on Wednesdays, which was not true! We came in at 5:28pm thinking we had time but as we were walking in and saw their actual hours we realized we were wrong - totally our bad! I would usually hate to impose, but the barista was so nice and said she would still make our drinks. We ordered two Iced Matcha Lattes and they were so good! Wish we would have come earlier because I really liked the aesthetic of the store and especially loved the music they were playing (jazzy r&b). Will definitely have to come again at a more convenient time for the workers! read more

I love Woodcat because it is good. One of the reasons it's goodness is because of the yes good espresso and drip. and also one more of the reason is about the good service that is smart and nice too. A special place with good stuff and a good ambiance too. The name says it all! read more

so... I don't get it? I got a honey lavender latte that slightly tasted like honey and nothing else. The espresso wasn't bad but paying $8 for a latte flavored latte w no flavor was whack. the vibe felt very PNW, many patrons with handlebar mustaches so that could be entertaining? silver lining was the very kind staff. I wouldn't come again. read more

I really love the vibe of this place and my cortado was excellent. The Baristas who helped me were both welcoming and polite. I'll definitely be back. read more

Had a great experience today at Woodcat. I came in to ask about wholesale beans. I spoke with Eric who was so friendly and informative. He told me about the different blends that he would recommend for cold brew and I got an iced coffee to try. It was very tasty. I went across the street to Steroscope and the experience was opposite and the cold brew was very sour. I would definitely recommend going to Woodcat, inviting and quality coffee.

Woodcat Coffee Bar is found on a busy part of Sunset Blvd in Echo Park and it is awesome! Their Cortado is great. The beans came across as mild and not too acidic. The Latte is not so strong which is not so surprising if you imagine that they used the same beans for the Cortado. They use their own beans, by the way, in case you're interested. There was a bit of a line to order and a short line to get your drink. A POS is set up at what is normally the door to get in the coffee shop. It's now a window to order and to pick up your drink. No entry allowed. Aside from one bench, there is no place to sit and enjoy your drink. This is strictly an order-and-go spot. Taking that into consideration, it is pretty amazing that the block in front of the shop was never vacant for too long, people kept parking, grabbing their drink and then leaving. read more
