"Estimated Wait: Usually around 30 minutes on weekdays, and up to an hour on weekends The Payoff: Very good cream-topped lattes, soft-scrambled breakfast sliders, and peak LA people-watching “Don’t get me wrong—I love the matcha at Community Goods as much as the next person, but what I’m less excited about is standing in an hour-long line next to people filming their morning vlogs. The thing is, LA has almost as many trendy cafes as gas stations at this point, and plenty of them make great drinks and won’t cost you your Saturday. They just might not have the Hailey Bieber endorsement.”" - bryan kim, team infatuation, will hartman, bryan kim, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nick allen, sylvio martins, cathy park, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, candis mclean, aimee rizzo
"Breakfast sliders sound like something from Dave & Buster's brunch menu, but we have to admit: the use of toasted hawaiian sweet rolls in these handheld, easily shareable eggy sandwiches is a smart move. They come in orders of two or four— four is a surprisingly filling $10 breakfast—and are best when you add avocado and/or bacon for $2. They don't skimp on the fluffly eggs, and two side sauces add excitement: a vinegary house hot sauce and a cooling chive aioli. Just know you'll have to brave the infamous Community Goods line to get them." - garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox, cathy park
"Community Goods is what happens when a coffee shop becomes a lifestyle brand. The scene at this West Hollywood cafe looks like a casting call for a wellness ad: people with brand deals in wide-leg jeans, models reapplying lip balm using their phone screens, and someone in an Erewhon sweater who won’t shut up about adaptogens “rewiring their brain.” By 10am, the line wraps around the block. The matcha is strong and the breakfast sliders are good, but you’re mostly here to loiter in big sunglasses and keep a lookout for Hailey Bieber." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"This wildly popular WeHo coffee shop always has a line. At EEEEEATSCON, the wait will inevitably be shorter. Homemade vanilla bean syrup with a double shot of espresso Your choice of whole or oat milk Double espresso and sweet cream dusted with cocoa powder and sea salt Your choice of whole or oat milk Your choice of whole or oat milk (add vanilla +$0.75). Yuzu mango syrup, pasilla, spirulina, and sparkling water" - team infatuation
"If headed to Community Goods during busy hours, settle into the line with a book or a podcast. The queue is consistent, as are the stellar coffee drinks like the einspänner latte with sweetened cream, cocoa powder, double espresso, and a pinch of salt. Regulars in the know always order the breakfast sliders to share. It will take some time to get a drink, but this is one of the few lines in town that is actually worth it." - Mona Holmes
