"Cognoscenti started as a pop up inside of Eagle Rock’s Proof Bakery. They opened this standalone cafe a few years back in the center of Culver City’s Arts District. They’re known for their revolving selection of beans and tasty Proof Bakery pastries. If you’re looking for a low-key place to get some work done or a mid day break, this is your spot." - Rapt Studio
"Culver City’s modernist Cognoscenti Coffee started in 2009 and is staffed by friendly baristas who know everything about coffee. Cognoscenti doesn’t use fancy drink names and focuses on producing quality drip coffee, cappuccino, lattes, and cold brew in the Fashion District, Downtown LA, and Culver City. The banana sourced from Friends & Family always hits the spot, too." - Mona Holmes
"Though Cognoscenti has shops in Culver City, and Downtown LA, the work-friendliness of the Fashion District location has big tables, tall windows, and dependable Wi-Fi. And while this shop is busy, it’s never overly crowded and easy to find a seat." - Mona Holmes
"Cognoscenti is a local roaster with three shops around LA that stick to the standard lineup of espresso drinks, cold brews, and pour-overs—nothing overly fancy. The diversity lies in their daily roast rotation of spotlighting unique coffees. It’s the kind of place where granola people with morning “coffee rituals” go to taste a “clean” pour-over. And if you don’t know what that means, the ones at Cognoscenti are prime examples. You wait over five minutes for the barista to slowly brew your coffee, which is painstakingly long if you don’t care. But if you do, you’ll (hopefully) taste all the fancy flavor notes on the specials chalkboard. " - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
