LA COFFEE SHOP GUIDE

As I mentioned in my last post, coffee shops are my jam. So much so that I've created a bucket list of all the trendy, Instagram worthy spots. While some days I love working from home, staying in my pajamas well past noon, and pouring up my own home made cold brew, theres something so delightful about going out to get your ol' cup of joe.

If you live in LA, this coffee shop bucket list is the mecca of all things cute and coffee. Some are known simply for their killer lattes, whereas others are known for their killer aesthetics. Regardless of the reason, they made the list. While I still have a long way to go, I've managed to cross of a good chunk in the year and a half I've been here and now you can chop away at it too. If you don't live in LA, I still urge you to create your own coffee shop bucket list. Its such a simple and fun way to explore your surroundings and find inspiration in the little things.

PS. The ones with the * next to it are my favorites!

1. Eightfold Coffee* - I mean come on, look at those white brick walls.

2. Alfred in the Alley - Alfred's is the cutest for so many reasons. While this location doesn't have seating inside, they offer a lot of outdoor seating in the little alleyway they're located in.

3. Alfred Beverly Hills - This is one of the new Alfred locations, but what is so cool about Alfred's is that while each interior is slightly different than the next, the theme remains the same. Also, they coined the term, "But First., Coffee" which is pretty cool if you ask me.

4. Alfred Tea Room- Only offering matcha, tea, and kombucha, this place is the mecca of all things pink. The interior is a blogger's dream and the merchandise for sale is equally as cute.

5. Verve (DTLA and West Hollywood)*- Verve in DTLA is the first coffee shop I went to when visiting LA and I immediately fell in love with the city. Everyone there was so artsy and effortlessly cool. Also, I can't say no to a wall of greens.

6. The Assembly- You gotta love a clean, white sleek wall with minimalist decor.

7. Blue Bottle Coffee - Bomb coffee but no wifi (at least in Weho location)

8. TOM's Coffee* - One of my absolute favorite coffee shops. The people who frequent this place give it such a great sense of community and on top of that, proceeds go towards a great cause.

9. Demitasse - Weekly fun events are hosted here including avocado toast topping parties and delicious special drink options.

10. Smith & Tait- This cute Weho coffee shop has the most quirky interior and some great coffee.

11.il Cafe- A cute Swedish coffee shop (complete with tons of delicious Swedish sweets) with sleek and modern interior designs.

12. Dialogue Cafe - great food, great lattes, and lots of outdoor seating options right on Sunset Blvd.

13. Primo Cafe - A simple, restaurant style cafe with lots of outdoor seating and a relaxing atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of Sunset Blvd.

14. Ace Hotel - To be honest, the coffee is just alright but the hotel is stunning and definitely worth a visit.

15. Deus Ex Machina* - Possibly one of my favorite coffee shops in all of LA. It has the coolest vibe and interior. Its full of dogs, bikes, and hipster vibes with plenty of seating and tons of delicious drink and food options.

16. Love Coffee Bar - Cute coffee shop in Santa Monica. Not a lot of seating options, but definitely in a good location surrounded by little boutiques and spots to grab a bite.

17.Honey Hi* - Definitely a trendy, hot spot in LA but for good reason. Tons of healthy food and drink options, all very unique but equally delicious. Also, how cute is their branding?

18. Intelligentsia

19. Coffee Commissary

20. Groundworks

21. Bar Nine

22. Bulletproof Coffee

23. Dinosaur Coffee - This place gets 5 stars for the amount of seating, but their lack of wifi is a huge disappointment. However, points for this cute wall decor.

24. Document Coffee Bar

25. The Daily Dose

26. Stumptown Coffee

27. Moon Juice

28. Joe & The Juice (weho)*- Even though this is a chain, I loved the vibe inside. It was energetic and a great place to people watch, as its right on Melrose Ave.

29. The Flowerboy Project

30. Carrera Cafe* - Cool latte art and even cooler aesthetics.
