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.

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!

Hip new coffee shop in Highland Park. I got lucky and found parking right in front. I love the bright and airy refreshed warehouse look and feel. It’s a welcoming vibe and it makes the space feel so inviting. I love anything matcha! I ordered the Matcha coconut and it was very refreshing, especially on a hot day.

Comet Over Delphi: A Sanctuary of Light, Taste, and Possibly Surveillance Comet Over Delphi is what happens when a coffee shop gets really into self-actualization. The space is spare but warm, flooded with natural light from gloriously wide wooden windows that make even your most boring emails feel cinematic. It's minimalist, yes -- but with intention, not sterility. The service is outstanding. Baristas are attentive without affect, happy to walk you through the difference between Usucha and Koicha (hint: it's about viscosity and existential commitment). The espresso is excellent, and the "Magic" -- a Melbourne-style split shot with milk -- lives up to its name. The menu reads like a quiet flex: turmeric lattes, "Kaiserwasser" sparkling water infused with Austrian elderflower nectar, and a $22 matcha "Sidecar" that sounds like something a Kyoto monk might serve a demigod. The atmosphere leans monkish too -- serene, contemplative, a little austere. Seating, though, can be scarce: The layout prioritizes elegance over density, which may leave some regulars orbiting like planets looking for a perch. The music -- everything from Brazilian funk to obscure Zamrock -- sets a sonic tone that says this is not a place for rush or noise. In short, it's a sanctuary. But sanctuaries have trade-offs: The beautifully crafted mugs often arrive too hot to hold, while beautiful -- more sculpture than vessel, more form over function. At times, the entire experience feels so immaculately curated that you half-expect Nathan Fielder to step out from behind the brushed steel wall, clipboard in hand, quietly noting how long you'll wait for a cortado without shifting your aesthetic posture. So: is Comet Over Delphi a community café? A lifestyle shrine? A soft experiment in aspirational capitalism? It's hard to say. But with light like that and coffee this good, you'll probably come back -- even if you suspect you're part of the pilot episode.

This shop is exquisite! The staff are friendly and can make one amazing cup of coffee. The design inside is incredibly considered and minimalist. There’s even newspapers hanging on the wall to read!

This cafe is still in soft opening so keep this in mind! ⏰Currently their hours are Wednesday - Sunday 7am to 5pm 🪴 Atmosphere is great, it’s very airy and open. There is a decent amount of seating. It is a nice area for the vibes, and it is perfect for a social media photos. 🍽️Service is kind, they were very nice and did what they could as they are not at their “full capacity”, again, soft opening! That being said, I did wait 30 minutes in line. There were about 8-10 people in front of me. So the wait was a bit longer than I expected. 🍵 I tried their matcha… it was unfortunately unpleasant :( - Their matcha was a bit stale, and earthy. - The color was pale, yellowish-green. This dull color indicates low quality matcha. - it is unsweetened. I personally don’t mind that but it was unfortunately their downfall as it leaves room to taste the lower quality. ⭐️ 4/10 Matcha Latte It’s called Grade A matcha in their description, but I would take that with a grain of salt. Matcha should be vibrant green, closer in color to the trees in the background of my photo :) My partner had a latte, he said it was alright. 🚮 Another little gripe— no visible trash cans! There were people leaving their trash at their table because of this. I’m assuming you have to take your cups back up to the counter, but there was a good amount of people just leaving their trash at their tables. For the price, normally I would not go back. But maybe I’ll try them again once they’re fully open!

I noticed this place a few weeks ago when I was on my way to yoga, today my partner and I decided to go check it out but upon arrival we noticed a couple of people lounging on the window with their BARE FEET on the ledge. How is this even acceptable in a place that serves food? People put their food and drinks there and I doubt the window ledge is sanitized each time someone gets up to leave. Ewww no!

Ok. This place is super cute. BUT. It’s the most expensive coffee shop in highland park, 7.50 for a cold brew that tasted like regular coffee. I got the matcha today… bitter. Also got the driest guava pastry I’ve ever had in my life. I dunno what to say the place is cute and wait staff is great but :/

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!

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.

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.

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.
