Alina SharokhinaAugust 19, 2016People watching, great coffee & matcha tea, nice place for working or recharge.
Sebastian GroebnerFebruary 24, 2013Superb coffee. Great interior. Try the Curry Raisin Scones if you get the chance.
Just so you know, the soy mocha is great iced on a hot day as well. It's one of the most delicious things ever created by human hands.
Alfredo AponteDecember 15, 2014I don't doubt their passion, but I do feel they're losing their touch. The espresso has been inconsistent and often more bitter then usual. It's time to move on, been good while it lasted.
Michelle OlenoskiJuly 8, 2013Grab a cushion and sit anywhere on the concrete steps. One of the smartest designs I have ever seen.
In a city of amazing coffee, Intelligentsia leads the way👌
Scott BooneAugust 8, 2016Fantastic coffee but pretty cramped if you are looking for a place to camp out.
Elena IavaroneAugust 26, 2014This cafè is sooo cool! The coffee is nothing special but the place is amazing!
Grab a cortado and lounge with a friend. No better way to spend a lazy afternoon.
the best coffee in los angeles. order the soy latte, even if you can have regular milk. love the dirty-thirties clothing the staff wears.
Kristin Flip PolidoroJuly 6, 2012Followed the tips and the Angeleno is the best iced latte I've ever had.
As always everything is better in ceramic... Slow down and enjoy your coffee and strike up a conversation with someone.
jan krekanJanuary 17, 2015Great coffee. If you are going to order latte anyway, get out of the line!
HemangAugust 7, 2011The lines may be long but the coffee makes your day! Get the Angeleno if you want to try something new!
- Greg LoudonOctober 25, 2019Fantastic Single origin espressos. Mad barista skills and great latte art.
LaurennJanuary 6, 2014Long line, über pretentious, crowded, one unisex bathroom....but the hot chocolate and chai are worth it.
Eatosaurus RexDecember 21, 2014Does Intelligentsia coffee make me more intelligent or just more pretentious? No complaints either way.
ascalixNovember 19, 2012Best coffee ever...I never had something like that before, even at the best coffee bars in Brazil or Italy.
If youre a coffee extraordinaire :) - drip coffee selection are great!
Still my favorite coffee place ever!! Try latte w/ soy milk 👌🏼😉
Lauren GSeptember 5, 2011Great coffee...but be aware they don't offer any skim/non-fat milk if that's what you usually add to your mug.
Any place that place My Morning Jacket from start to finish is fine by me. All the coffee is excellent too.- Slow Bar at the back coffee bar weekdays 8am-2pm. Skip the line, grab a seat, prepare to be treated by a barista!
Food & WineApril 21, 2011Low-key Intelligentsia is one of the most respected roasters in America and now has five cafes around the country.
Jess NikolaiNovember 27, 2010The hot chocolate here is amazing, unlike any other I've ever had. The mocha powder at the end of the cup is the best part. ;)
- The weekday Slow Bar (8am-2pm) is a treat - skip the line, sit down for a few minutes and treat yourself to anything the weekly barista has planned!
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013What to Order: Classic cappuccinos are made using rich 5 percent milk.
ashtonJune 14, 2010Need a really fantastically brewed cup of coffee or a delish espresso drink, I'll see you here. Especially on First Fridays on Abbot Kinney!
Apparently these guys don't allow you to have your dog on the patio. You have to tie them up on the street...
Still surprised this hasn't spread like wildfire across LA. The coffee is so good.
Erin MichelleOctober 2, 2010The lattes are almost too artfully made to drink at times... but the best coffee drink is awaiting you with the first sip!
Cherith ZanghiMarch 5, 2017Every coffee is a pour over so it takes forever. Line is ridiculously long, but scared to run to the also ridiculously long restroom line for fear of losing my place
Allison GarlickDecember 7, 2011a caffeinated experience! The staff is so knowledgable when it comes to all things coffee.

"The milkshake. You have to try the milkshake. Made with a ton of tasty vanilla ice cream and 4 shots of espresso, it's pretty incredible."

"My breakfast here was wonderful and impressive! The foods and coffee were delicate and delicious. Besides, I greatly loved it. The ambiance was also quiet, fragrant, and comfortable."
Annette Griffin - 8.8
"Jacob Wonderbar is my fave - a dark, rich roast named for Philz CEO Jacob Jaber and recommended by Phil himself. If you're not up for the mint, the regular Ecstatic Iced Coffee is great + strong."
