Comet over Delphi

A trendy and popular café. As expected, it was crowded on a Sunday afternoon, but I was lucky to find parking quickly. There were plenty of staff, so the drinks were served quite fast, which was nice. I don’t really remember the taste of the coffee, but the atmosphere and interior stood out. One downside is that due to its popularity, seating was very limited, and many people had to stand. Not sure if I would come back.

Service A+ amazing staff, Coffee A, Music and Sound system A+, is the wifi free? Decor ??? Uhhh. The decor is half luxury and half unfinished. And I know “industrial” is an aesthetic but i mean this place is literally unfinished. There has to be a way to let all the sunlight and breeze through the cafe while protecting the interior from some of the heat and glare. window shades? Canvas? Tinted Glass? Rattan? The bathroom looks like a luxury hotel on one side and a prison cell on the other. Lastly they need a sign out front or name painted onto an outer wall- because when the business is open the only place to see the name is on the glass door, which means “comet over delphi” is only visible written Backwards

I had such a lovely time at this cafe! The matcha latte was delicious and the pastries/bagels are a must-try. Everything was fresh and tasty. The staff are so incredibly nice and made the visit even better. A truly wonderful experience all around!

First impression, literally mind blown by how aesthetic the space was! Totally giving that Aussie cafe vibes for me with seatings by the large windows, sleek and clean interior, and just slow-living kinda ambiance. SUPER IN LOVE! Unfortunately no food options offered, but prolly compensated by quite rich selection of beverages. Per the reviews, people seemed to come for their matcha or espresso tonic. Nevertheless, not wanna placing my bet given the polarized reviews on their matcha, and also not a fan of espresso tonic, I opted for Simple Latte. To my surprise, I loved their bold aromatic coffee. It surely gave that strong wakeup kick and I requested mine to be slightly sweetened by simple syrup, which I was fond of. I initially didn't really set high expectations as I was guesstimating the crowd to just be intrigued by their instagenic space, but they prove me wrong.

There’s not enough praise in the world for this place. The coffee is outstanding, as well as the ambiance. Perhaps the only frustrating part can be finding a place to sit during busy hours however, it can be done!

Comet Over Delphi is such a beautiful, calm space. It feels intentional the second you walk in, bright, minimal, and honestly a perfect place to slow down for a bit. I tried the yuzu matcha and another drink, and both were really well done. The matcha was smooth and balanced, not overly sweet, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. The staff were friendly and relaxed, which made the experience even better. Definitely one of those coffee shops you want to come back to, not just for the drinks but for the overall vibe.

First time there. Great atmosphere, great people, really nice place! Our barista Irelynn was spot on. So friendly, and very professional. She took our order and then went and made it for us. From the swan, to the leaf on our coffees. Make sure you ask for her when you go.

Overall great experience. The gist: Variety of drink options, dog friendly, open layout, opportunity for productivity, street parking. The details: - Visuals: Minimalist vibes. Open layout. - Variety of drink options: No visible menu until your at the counter. I think that also contributes to there being somewhat of a wait time in line. People don't know what the options are until its your turn to order. Despite that, they had a "bubbly" coffee option and that had my interest. Ultimately, I got an iced "magic" coffee drink and it was strong but tasty if your into strong coffee. Dog Friendly: I was able to bring my senior dog in the dog stroller and sit awhile to enjoy my coffee. I saw other dogs come in and they were greeted by staff. Productivity Option: They have Wi-Fi so I was able to work on my laptop while there. There are various seating arrangements in the location, from sitting at a window, high tables/chairs, stools, and couches. You can sit at the couch and use the short stools as a small table. Service: Staff was very nice. If you were dining in, they'd bring you your drink to your seat. My coffee was in a clear glass cup so staff came and picked it up when they saw I was done. Otherwise, you'd have to take your cup to the counter before you leave. Parking: No designated parking. Only street parking is available. They're new so I'm sure there are adjustments to come. My only note for them right now is lack of menus. Otherwise, definitely worth a try!

Finally the door is open after being closed for awhile post the soft opening few weeks ago. First impression, literally mind blown by how aesthetic the space was! Totally giving that Aussie cafe vibes for me with seatings by the large windows, sleek and clean interior, and just slow-living kinda ambiance. SUPER IN LOVE! Unfortunately no food options offered, but prolly compensated by quite rich selection of beverages. Per the reviews, people seemed to come for their matcha or espresso tonic.

Went during their soft opening. Cute aesthetics and has nearby parking lot which is a plus! The drinks however need a lot of work. It's way overpriced for what it is. The matcha is very milky and bland. The color should have been a sign for me to not get it. The orange cold brew was ok. Not worth the price.

Really confused about the hype of this spot. My wife and I try a different matcha spot every weekend so we wanted to try out this new location. We waited in line for a long time, which we expected so that part was fine. The quality of the matcha is where we weren't very impressed. Is it terrible? No. Is it good? Not really. For serving matcha from some of the better Japanese farms, we were surprised the taste didn't meet our expectations. I didn't get a chance to watch them make it so maybe they were busy and they couldn't meet the standard. Either way, I don't think we'll return. Note: They do not have any sort of artificial sweetener, whether it be syrup or Splenda, Sweet n Low, etc. I heard a girl ask for it and they said they don't provide any. So be prepared if you want yours sweetened. Parking - street parking, lot across the street Prices - fair Ambiance - very nice, open windows in the front with benches

Before I get to the actual review- this new yelp recognitions thing is weird. Why does it showcase one of my lower recognitions vs. the 50+ DAMN reviews I have for the coffee & tea category lmao. I wonder if this is too new of a place, so it's category is still in flux? No idea, anyway- Great space, pretty spacious. Nothing too pretentious, not a try hard, no furniture that looks like it's obviously Temu, all tasteful. I had two drinks- cold brew was great, nothing crazy flavorful or funky but still sensible and balanced. The matcha I had was small (and I was told that beforehand, so it was fine), and it was made well, contrary to some earlier reviews here. Good consistency and I got the bold flavor that I was looking for in that type of matcha; but if you don't want matcha, they have a few espresso soda drinks and other coffee options too. Service was also polite, brought my drinks to me, gave me a complimentary cookie! If we were to compare to other recent cafes that have opened in the past year or two, this is a very, very welcome addition and I'd absolutely drive out to get a drink and chill here.

Food - 3.75/5 Matcha latte - 3.5/5 They call this A grade matcha and it was just ok. They do mention when ordering that it was just regular low grade matcha and that the S and SOM matcha (not latte) are more "rare" with SOM being the rarest. The person who took our order was right that the matcha latte was ok and nothing really note worthy. SOM Matcha - 4/5 taste - 2/5 price The SOM matcha is basically a shot of matcha with a earthy taste and smooth texture and finish. It was delicious, but definitely not worth the steep $10 cost. Latte - 3.75/5 The latte was good but not something I would say is note worthy that I'd go back specifically for. Service - 3.75/5 The staff is super friendly and what I assume was one (if not the owner) of this coffee shop were super helpful and passionate about coffee and matcha. I understand that at the time of this visit it was during their soft opening so I'm sure they are figuring out flow, staffing and logistics of the sort but it felt slow. They do have only 1 coffee machine, but it seemed like some patrons who ordered before us had been waiting a while for drinks. Ambiance - 4.5/5 I can appreciate the attention to detail of the space. The mix of industrial and mid century modern is pretty well done with a fair amount of seating. I did find it odd they had multiple copies of coffee table books but not sure if they were actually for sale or if it was just for decor. It definitely is a vibe spot to get photos for social or just wanna have cute cafe photos. Overall it's a vibe space, but feels more of a spot because of the vibe vs the coffee is anything super amazing. The menu feels a bit complex (they don't really have descriptions for items (unless you ask, you'd never really know the differences in matcha, what a magic latte is etc) but if you want a spot that's a vibe and a chill place to chat this would be a good spot for that. Maybe, I'll go back after the soft opening to see if things are different, but for now it's a pass for me. Also parking is tough like everything in highland park

Newest coffee/matcha shop in town! I am not sure how people found out about this place already but this place was packed & had a line when I went. The price difference (6/10 or 16/20) is for the grade of matcha & not for the size of drinks. Inside is nice & minimal. Good vibes. Even espresso machine looks extra fancy. They do take their time to make drinks so gotta be patient. I noticed a small price discrepancy on the menu on the table compared to the menu posted outside & in front of the register. Not sure if the matcha is strong enough for latte because all I could taste was milk. I would come for ambience but not sure if I would come for just their drinks.

The space is thoughtfully designed. There's plenty of seating, but it doesn't feel cramped or stuffy at all. I really liked how they incorporated the beams in the middle to create a natural standing area without disrupting the flow. Even though the line was pretty long when we arrived, it moved quickly and efficiently, which I appreciated. When we got to ordering the owner thanked us for being patient and even took a little time to explain how his wife designed the space. We ordered the Spanish latte and the matcha. The Spanish latte was excellent! Perfectly balanced, smooth, and not overly sweet. The matcha, however, leaned a little too bitter for my taste and could have used a touch more creaminess or sweetness to round it out. They're in their soft opening era so I'm sure it'll be tweaked more. Overall I definitely would come back if the line dies down but it's not something I would line up for

New neighborhood coffee shop alert!! Coffee shop is in its soft opening. It was kind of busy as I expected it to be since it just opened this week. The space is very beautiful and has plenty of tables. Had some good music playing in the background which was enjoyable as we stood in line to get our drinks. There was a good variety of espresso and Matcha drinks. I got the Matcha coconut, which was delicious and refreshing. My friends and I had to take our drinks to go because all the tables were filled. They have a limited pastry menu, which is displayed at the register. I will definitely be coming back to try more drinks and even a pastry.

I love the shaken here, Ive had it a few times and the texture is amazing as they have it whipped. I get mine half sweet. Friendly service nice minimalist atmosphere inside. Looking forward to coming here on a regular basis.

A bit pretentious looking, but everyone working was very nice. Such a PRETTY and lovely space. Coffee was great, and a beautiful interior with lots of light.

Everything is great about this place except the coffee itself (ambiance, service, comfy furniture all solid). They clearly invested the time in the design, they should invest in the coffee/baristas too!

Stumbled upon this place during the soft opening and loved it. Great coffee, great ambiance, friendly baristas... what's not to love?! I really enjoyed the "magic" coffee, like a flat white but better.

Trendy, aesthetic and modern. A mixture of wooden accents, art and natural light glimmering through large open windows. Space to be yourself, be with friends or enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Meet people or just chill. Plenty of room and an open space. Customer service was on point. The Matcha Latte and Magic are unique and crafted with love. A must visit!

Had the shaken espresso. It was good! Would recommend. Very balanced with the oat milk. I asked what the drink was, and the barista told me the history of where it came from which is Australia. Love hearing more about the origin of where the drinks come from. The vibes were cool and inviting. Reminded me back when I would be in Vietnam and people are just casually living and talking and enjoying the space.

iced latte with simple syrup was perfect! friendly staff and service! ambiance was great and not too loud on a Sunday morning! I will be back here, thanks

I've been a few times since it opened. I visited Comet over memorial weekend. When I arrived, we saw folks outside the patio and patrons still inside and the door was unlocked. At the time, we did not realize the coffee shop was closed at 2. We arrived 45 minutes after. When we entered, it was lively, music was going and folks were still making drinks. We approach the register and there was an employee making a drink. They had their back to us. We waiting for 10 minutes in front of the register without a single acknowledgement. During those 10 minutes a couple employees looked at us but did not acknowledge our presence or even let us know that they were closed. We left with a bad taste in our mouths. Overall, I think the coffee is great but the service is something that could be improved. It's disappointing to enter an establishment, even given the user error on not checking the hours online, to receive so much as a, "hey, sorry we're closed." A place that makes you feel stupid or unwelcome is not a space I want to be in. This is how I felt today. I will not be coming back.

The space itself is beautiful & grand. It's open and welcoming, seems like a great location to study, get work done, or just chill out. I went a few days ago and was excited to try their iced matcha latte. I was very disappointed because I had heard they partnered with a reputable matcha brand. However, the matcha was tasteless and was overpowered by the milk. It also wasn't blended properly as I could see there was some chunks still & although matcha can come in different shades, it was off (yellowish green). I'll come back to try again in a few weeks to give it another shot. However, as far as matcha goes, there's a lot of competition in highland park & LA in general.

The general vibe and aesthetic is really nice. The drinks I had were just ok. I'll come back in a few months once the menu is streamlined. Definitely very chic for the areA.
