Like it's fully in a church village kind of thing. While drinking my coffee, little kids were brought out on their recess to play. So be aware of that, but there's also an inside section if you want a bit more quiet. The interior is really cute with free WiFi and fun drinks. The staff was very friendly and nice. I ordered the banana cold brew which was really good and my friend had the matcha latte. The chocolate croissant was also really good! Delicious! :)

She ordered her usual Matcha which she really liked and I tried their Iced Ube Latte which was very good! I just wish they had a larger version, ofc:) ELNO is located off of Van Nuys Blvd. in a "Food Hall" type of place. It was a little confusing at first to find it.

Inicio Coffee review: Parking is small and limited, but due…read moreto most people coming and going, a spot opens up somewhat quickly. Wait times when things got a bit busy, grew longer. I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.

From the moment I arrived, both baristas the RED HAIR young woman and the BRUNETTE demonstrated a level of professionalism, attentiveness, and interpersonal awareness that elevated what could have been an ordinary coffee stop into a genuinely memorable experience. Their ability to create a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining efficiency reflects a strong understanding that hospitality extends beyond simply preparing beverages it is about cultivating an environment where customers feel acknowledged and valued. Their communication was warm yet polished, and their positive demeanor was clearly authentic rather than performative. The coffee itself was equally impressive. It exhibited a well balanced flavor profile with remarkable depth, smoothness, and freshness, evidencing both technical proficiency and careful attention to preparation. Every detail suggested that quality is treated as a standard rather than an aspiration. In an industry where consistency often distinguishes exceptional establishments from average ones, these two baristas exemplify the caliber of service that fosters lasting customer loyalty. Their professionalism, coupled with the outstanding quality of the coffee, leaves little doubt that I will be returning. Experiences of this standard deserve both recognition and appreciation.

I approached the counter and looked at them, but the girl at the register just stared at me. So I just browse the menu, and she still says nothing. The only time she spoke was when I finally asked questions regarding some of the drinks. My drink wasn't bad -- it was a hazelnut iced latte. Parking is plentiful. Lots of space to sit, games available to play while you're there. However it was just so awkward coming in, no one greets you at all, and just stares at you silently at the register.

A cute neighborhood spot. Got a matcha americano and a cappuccino…read more Their matcha was decent but not fully mixed--had some matcha clumps at the bottom. Also, the cashier rang it up as a matcha latte ($6.75), and I just thought it to be a little silly to charge the same price as a latte which has milk when I'm getting it with water. Whatever, it's ceremonial grade. Partner's cappuccino was good, a little too milky and less coffee-forward than I like but pretty smooth. The interior of the space is super cute! Small and intimate, well decorated, has wifi. Not a ton of tables so I'm not sure I'd post up and work here, but certainly nice for a moment to enjoy your drink. Parking situation: free lot! I might come back if I were walking around the neighborhood, but if I'm driving I'd rather drive somewhere else.
