From mini macchiatos to giant mugs of dark roast coffee, Jason and I have sipped it all! In fact, we are some serious coffee drinkers and definitely have our opinions about where to find the Best Coffee around Los Angeles. Personally, I like a lighter roast cup of coffee with cream and sugar while Jason drinks his dark roast black. I drink cappuccinos and Jason drinks double macchiato. But regardless of our coffee taste differences, we have a few favorites we frequent. A while back Jason started to keep a little list of the best places to grab a cup of coffee around the city.

Some win for their roasts and some for their atmosphere but here are all 21 of our favorite places to grab a cup of coffee in Los Angeles (in no particular order):

Nice! Though I'm not a coffee drinker (sad I know), i do search high & low for the best coffee shops to work at an that have great chai lattes. One you might want to try (I hear their coffee's pretty good) is Coffee Commissary around Fairfax & Melrose. Great little spot!
And nice list btw, will def be checking out a few of these soon!

LOVE, love, love LAMILL coffee! I use to go (sometimes multiple times per day) when I was visiting my best friend in LA. Still dream about their coffee...and doughnuts...and soft scrambled eggs. Mmm!

My Co-worker brings me coffee from Coffee Commissary is its a solid, bold cup of coffee. I also enjoy Jones' Coffee in Pasadena every Friday ( Almond Mlik Latte). Thanks for the post, I can't wait to explore a little more!

Out of all on your list I have only been to one known as Bourgeois Pig...! I haven't had a coffee there since my days in LA......obviously I am out of touch with coffee in LA but to add to your fab list is OC's Portola coffee at SoCo! I am a macchiato and cappuccino gal myself!
Ana says
This post comes right on time! We are leaving for LA this Sunday and I will definitely check out some of these spots. Merci! 🙂

M Street Coffee in Sherman Oaks. You have to try it. Love the women who run it and the java brews.
