Dayglow

Enjoyed an espresso in cafe which had a rich and smooth balance. Love that it is served with sparkling water as well. The barista who made it is excellently skilled and welcoming. Also loved the vibe of this place (including music: Misses by Dominic Fike played). Highly recommend checking out this place! I’ll be back to try speciality drinks.

This is a cute little coffee spot. The drinks are delicious. I had the Alyssa drink. It was a matcha tea with strawberry. So delicious. It's a nice place to grab a drink and chill for a bit. Definitely check them out if you are in the area.

Good coffee, interesting "creations". Seems to always be busy with a constant stream of clientele. Pretty nice place to chill and watch people for fashion ideas, haha. There's plenty of seating inside, less so outside, service seems to be relatively quick.

Good coffee, good vibes, plenty of seating. What’s not to like? Friendly staff and quick service. Great people watching!

Guys, if you go there, please try their specials. I’m absolutely in love with the Warhol coffee (the regular one). Very unusual and well-balanced combination of creamy, citrusy and coffee flavours (see the full description in the first photo). The coffee is pretty pricy (10-12$ for special drinks) but worth of trying! Only once it was made wrong by a guy with green hair. He put a lot of ice and there was barely any cream on the top. That’s why I usually order it when there are girls on the shift. They make it perfectly!

The Warhol latte is incredible. Such a cute little shop and very friendly staff. So happy to finally visit this spot!

I'm a certified "weird coffee person" and Dayglow has the best selection of world-class beans in the area, with only kumquat in highland Park being close. Their pourovers are really, really next level with a huge variety of awesome roasters from around the globe featured. They have everything from well executed traditional flavor profiles to the super avant-garde stuff like coferments and gnarly anaerobics. Their specialty drinks are also the best I've had anywhere in the world (shout-out to the the Warhol 2.0). Yes, they do have a premium price tag, but unlike a lot of places the product itself is very differentiated. Street parking is super hit and miss but usually it's not too bad. Also love the fact they're open a bit later than the usual 5pm cutoff a lot of shops have.

Overpriced hype. I don’t have a problem with paying for a good cup of coffee, but this isn’t that. Their popular Totoro is overly sweet and tastes as though there’s no coffee in it. The interior (as well as the exterior) is cute, but the seating isn’t very comfortable. Not a place to stay.

Had a great time here. One of my favorite bands decided to do a signing event here and it was just so well done. I got there earlier to enjoy my drink. I got a strawberry matcha. ( I cannot remember the actual name) the baristas were great and nice to chat with. Thanks for the experience

I come here specifically for their Totoro drink. I like to add a shot or two to make it stronger since it only has distilled coffee in it. Four stars cause it's a $10-11 drink - it's delicious and worth it, but definitely more of a special treat kind of thing. Service is friendly and pretty quick. Most times, it can be easy to find metered parking during off-peak hours, but expect a five minute walk or so, especially if you can't snag a spot in the new Sunset Row parking lot on the side. If you're planning on staying here long, the lighting is hot pink and definitely gave my sister and I a slight headache!

Cute coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Alyssa lynch which is Nekohama Matcha, strawberry, & pistachio milk- delicious! Service was quick, wasn't too busy when I went. Parking- street parking

My favorite coffee shop in Silver Lake! They have so many creative and unique drink creations, and the Alyssa Lynch (matcha with strawberry and pistachio milk) is to die for. The entire shop is pink from top to bottom and it's a dreamy aesthetic. There's a decent-sized parking lot for the Sunset Row shops which this is a part of, so that's a huge plus.

Easy, fun, and delectable coffee and drinks. Kind (and cute) staff, and a pinkish modern vibe all-around. My favorite drinks are the Totoro, which tastes like a black sesame mochi bomb in liquid form. The Warhol is also quite good--definitely on the sweeter side. Tastes like melted meringue. The Lynch was their strawberry matcha, and it was a bit lackluster compared to all the other drinks. Not bad at all, just not special. The blue chacha was also quite fun, less sweet, and not too coconuty. Overall a place I would recommend for good coffee and fun drinks.

4++ really cool little hangout/coffee spot in the Silverlake/Echo Park area. The service was friendly and the drink I ordered hit the spot. It was a little warm outside (and a little warm inside) so I ordered the iced military latte. I needed to do a little work and killed some time before I met up with the buddy close by so this was a great spot to set up for a little while. Not a large space but definitely a fun and efficient space. Parking was easier to find along the street.

Cute coffee spot in Silverlake. There's a limited menu, but it isn't displayed until you get to the register, which was a bit inconvenient. I got the Alyssa Lynch, and it was fine. I wasn't wowed by it. Service was kind, and they were helpful given my indecisiveness. I don't see myself going here again, but I can see how others might enjoy it.

A really cute coffee shop in Silverlake that always that has so many different and fun themed drinks! The first time I went here they had their studio ghibli selection and this time I went I got their Alyssa Lynch aka their strawberry matcha latte which was honestly really good and tasted different than most I've had. They used pistachio milk which I really enjoyed and it tasted a lot more roasted, thick, and creamy! It's not exactly pistachio flavored but it really elevates it!

Great service will come back when we're back in LA!! Great spot to relax and get a coffee

Follow my coffee adventure at @bricoffeereviews I looked at Food And Wine's list of top coffee shops in America and Dayglow was listed as one of the best in California, so I haaaad to check it out!!! Dayglow is so fit for pictures and they took the aesthetic seriously! I love the fun pink colors inside and outside the shop. I got my usual iced vanilla latte half sweet, and theirs was really good, 9/10! A taaaad too sweet for me but still good, espresso taste shines through. Such a cute coffee shop, would definitely be down to go back one day! Street or residential parking.

I came in looking for a matcha latte and got the Alyssa Lynch since it seemed like a special drink. It's a pretty creamy drink and you do get a nice strawberry flavor. I thought the drink got too sweet and overpowering after awhile.

A solid place to get a fun crafted drink. On the sweeter end. The 'Warhol' was amazing. Bursts of citrus, cinnamon, and sweet cream. Over espresso. Iced. What more could you want? Dayglow does get kind of buzzy sometimes, but on a Sunday afternoon stroll, this place was a great pitstop. Service was really fast. There's a decent amount of seating as well. Surprisingly peaceful outdoor seating despite being off of sunset.

Came in the morning to this Silver Lake coffee shop to get a buzz. Dayglow has more than just coffee. It also has a few pastries, many of which are vegan. Actually there's a lot here that's plant based on the menu. The prices are kind of high on some things, but that's expected for a hip place such as this. As expected, coffee is the main thing to get. It's about $8 for some things, and some are even more. The Cafe Coquito is one of the more interesting ones. Good and it looks cool. This is espresso with bourbon vanilla, cinnamon, condensed coconut milk, nutmeg, and with a coconut cloud on top. It's about $3 for a vegan donut. The one I got was cookies and cream flavored. Great place for coffee and some donuts. It's only a pretty small place with a few tables inside. The coffee and pastry menu has many options for vegans.

Really cute atmosphere (I love pink sm)! The cashier was really lovely and I felt welcome here. I got the Ponyo drink and my sister got the Coquito. Both were really good and creamy. I would definitely come back. My only wish would be that they had more Matcha based drinks. It seemed like almost everything was coffee or espresso based so not many options besides just a plain matcha. Other than that, I would come back. I will say that parking in this area sucks. So I would want to try another if their locations with better parking.

A very cute cafe in the Silver Lake area. My go-to at Dayglow tends to be their matcha drinks but this time I got the hojicha cream top and it was wonderful and I would definitely get it again. The barista was so friendly and very knowledgeable. Some of their drinks though do tend to be on the pricier side but their lattes and things like that are at the expected LA price point.

I've been to this location a few times and it never disappoints! The Warhol is a great drink that has the perfect balance of citrus and vanilla. I never thought I would like an espresso drink with citrus but this drink changed my perspective. Although I'll forever love the Warhol, the Totoro is a must! I love anything that is Black Sesame related and this drink does the perfect job. I particularly enjoy the coconut cream that tops the drink. It's a quite a small coffee shop and the line can get long fairly quickly. For a small shop, it has a good number of seats as well and seems like a fair location to get some work done.

This coffee shop is a very cute space, and has a ton of inventive and aesthetic drinks, however it is very pricey. I ordered an oat matcha latte with a coconut cream top and it came out to $10.50 before tip, which I think is a little excessive for a single drink that was not that big and also came with a lot of ice. They don't have the price for alt milk and the coconut cream top listed on their menu and had both a matcha with milk and a cream top matcha listed as $8, so I was a bit taken aback when I got the final price. I enjoyed the drink itself, and the matcha was good quality. The coconut cream was very coconutty, so if you are not super into coconut I would recommend sticking with the regular cream top. Overall, a cute spot and very LA but I would not spend $10.50 on a matcha here again. I would be open to trying a different drink, but this matcha was not worth it.

With three, soon to be four, Southern California locations plus spots in Chicago, Boston and New York Dayglow is not only a Roaster but also the importer of many international contemporaries, the Nordic influence evident in everything from Beans to interior design. Offering no less than twelve styles of Beans, most available as Pour-over but some as Espresso or Coldbrew plus Cocktails, guests are invited to sit inside or outdoors while enjoying their beverages with or without Pastries from the likes of Bakery By Jiyoon. Owned by Tohm Ifergan and priced appropriate to Silver Lake those who enjoy Colombian Beans will find Dayglow's "Decadent" smooth with lingering Chocolate notes well-suited to a Vegan Black Forest Hand Pie while the Kouign Amann tries to remedy its flaccid crumb with an exaggerated caramelized Sugar base.

I'm a regular at Dayglow, and it's always a great experience. I always get the Alyssa Lynch matcha, which is consistently delicious and refreshing. My boyfriend usually orders a cortado, and it always comes with a cute design on top. The vibe in the café is really welcoming. It's dog friendly, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The manager, Will, is always so courteous and always welcoming. He makes the drinks so well, and it's clear that he cares about the customer experience.

Reliable and friendly place for coffee if you're in the area. Everyone I've had as a barista was very kind when it cane to ordering and if I had any questions. I don't feel rushed here, it's relaxed. . If I stray away from Americanos or cold brew, I will get the Military Latte or the Elvis.

Had a hankering for a caffeinated beverage while walking on sunset and decided to give this place a shot. Wow. We were expecting your run of the mill coffee shop -- this place is in its own category! The signature drinks were so carefully crafted like a cocktail. We were overwhelmed by our options, each description sounded more delicious than the last! We chose the Military Matcha (husband wanted a kick of caffeine and this drink has espresso AND matcha) and I had a the strawberry-matcha-latte (unbelievably delicious). I wish I could say we slowly savored the flavors but... everything was so tasty, I think we slurped our drinks down in minutes! Will absolutely be back to try more!

Great, creative drinks you can't get anywhere else. I came here for a black sesame latte and it was amazing. Prices are high, however.

I've been to Dayglow about 4 times now hoping every time would be a better experience. The drinks are good, but overpriced. The aesthetic is super cute, however the vibe feels very exclusive. Staff is not as welcoming or friendly as I wish it would be.

Food: overall pretty unique tasting, it was pretty good. Service: incredibly helpful workers, they did get our order a bit wrong but it was no big deal and they fixed it very quickly, even giving us a free donut. Ambiance: very cool and funky feel.

absolutely loved my first time here! i pass by this coffee shop a few times and finally got the chance to order something. the inside is a bright pink and although it's a bit petite there's still some good seats. there's street parking also available on the block. there's tons of coffee bean bags available for sale! there's also a pretty long and diverse drink menu. i ordered the alyssa lunch which was a strawberry matcha with pistachio milk. the barista was super sweet and let me have a minute to look over the menu. my drink was done super fast and i loved it! the quality of the matcha was good, the strawberry flavor was not artificial or overpowering & the pistachio milk was so creamy. 10/10 for creativity on the drinks and i'm so happy i finally got to try dayglow

My drink was okay, nothing to complain about but once I took a sip of the Warhol it made me wanna finish my bf's drink. Mind you, we're both picky and we LOVED. Besides that, we loved the inside of the shop. It was cutesy, aesthetic, and all PINKKKK. Plus, I loved their seating area outside, inside and had a quiet/lonely seating area in the back. Update: Came back again to try another. I asked for the Cha Cha (you have to mix it to get the full taste or else you'll just taste the coffee) and my bf got the Warhol 2.0. Slight difference in the Warhol n somehow tastes better than the regular.

I paid $8 for a small coffee drink and they gave it to me in a plastic cup, "assuming" I'd take it to go. I think the point of overpaying for a drink is the experience--the cup is cheap, the experience was not worth the presentation.

Hipster coffee spot in the Echo Park area with a unique menu of iced and hot drinks. Definitely try one of the signature drinks instead of a regular cold brew or tea. Well worth the experience - Totoro was delicious and not too sweet. There are some seats but can fill up quickly. Staff is pleasant and helpful.

The coffee was really good, the barista was helpful and very competent. This is a very creative cafe. Their drink selection ranges from simple to complex and thought provoking. It was what I was looking for: a coffee elevated from a drink to an experience. There is nothing I could recommend to improve on the service or the coffee. I would recommend that the plants above the barista be changed out for some vibrant pink flowers. I think it would complete the look they have going a little better. I love the name, I love the logo, and I love the neon sign.

Dayglow is a must when in the Silver Lake area! We've tried several of their drinks and still keep coming back to their Totoro. Not the biggest coconut fan, but their coconut cold foam makes the coffee even better. All their locations feature their own unique color--this one being pink! The baristas are always so friendly and welcoming. Excited to see their Chinatown location also.

If you enjoy unique specialty coffee/tea drinks that are high quality AND aesthetic, look no further. Dayglow has one of the most impressive menus I've ever seen at a cafe (it's illustrated!). You almost feel as if you are in a nice cocktail bar. Their pastry case includes selections from Sugarbloom Bakery, and vegan donuts from Caffeinated Kitchen. The interior is filled with natural light, and has an open air feel. I got their popular Military Latte, which is a layered espresso/matcha drink, made with bourbon vanilla and dusted with cocoa powder. It was fantastic with oat milk. Both the espresso and matcha were rich in flavor, with balanced acidity. I expected "The Elvis" to be really sweet, but the silky banana cream seemed to be sweetened with just fruit, and the coffee and cacao nibs were wonderfully bitter. The baristas were genuinely friendly, and happy to make drink recommendations. I completed a few hours of work here on a Saturday, and had a lovely experience. The seats were comfortable, the wifi worked well, and there were plenty of outlets. I could have stayed here all day, sipping exciting drinks and getting things done. 10/10.

Day Glow's Coffee Coquito is like a tropical vacation in a cup--without the sunburn. This drink is a dreamy blend of rich, smooth coffee and just the right amount of coquito sweetness that'll have you wondering if you've stumbled into some secret, caffeine-infused paradise. And let me tell you about the barista (whose name I'm kicking myself for forgetting). This guy is a coffee rockstar! He's got that kind of laid-back, cool vibe that makes you feel like you're the most important customer of the day. With his Filipino flair and a smile that could warm even the coldest of L.A. mornings, he takes coffee-making to a whole new level. It's like he's brewing up good vibes along with your drink. So, if you're in Silverlake and need a little pick-me-up that feels more like a treat-yourself moment, swing by Day Glow. Trust me, you'll leave with a smile and maybe even a new favorite coffee crush.

Super cute and minimal but also SUPER PRICEY (at least for their specialty drinks). Dayglow in WeHo is just a small grab and go store right now with a few tables outside. My friends and I were bold enough to try their expensive specialty drinks such as... Totoro - supposed to have black sesame but we couldn't really taste it. If you like coconut, the flavor is good in this one. Warhol 2.0 - my fav out of the 3 we ordered. A good balance of orange flavor with a coconut cream. Elvis - literally $12 never had peanut cream before or a combo of that with banana milk and coffee but it wasn't too sweet. The cream is a bit thick so you have to mix it. Flavor wasn't out of this world or anything but it's definitely unique. I prolly wouldn't get it again tho but it was cool to try lol Overall the drinks are definitely overpriced but they're not bad. Parking is metered street for $2/hr (usually can get a spot down the neighborhood).

Pros: -Stunning ambiance -Unique array of drinks -Desks made for individuals to come and read, do work, etc. Cons: -Staff was apathetic and insipid -Pricer -Usually have to pay for parking

Warhol (5/5): loved the citrus flavor, the espresso quality and cream texture. Service was friendly and brought our drinks out to us too. The patio in front of the store has some shade and felt nice to sit outside. Bathroom was clean as well.

Best coffee shop in LA. They have beans from all over the world . Had the pleasure of trying a rare Dayglow pour over- tasted herbal with a ton of citrus and lime, top 5 best cup of coffee I've ever had. The barista was more than helpful and nerded out about coffee with me and enthusiastically answered all my questions. Would 100% go back. Opposite the exp I had at Kumquat where the barista was rude and seemed annoyed I asked about one of their pour over offerings.

First review of 2023, bringing the new year in with a FAV! Keep a shaker next to your french press? Dayglow might have you considering it! I'm a HUGE fan of mocktails (when done right) and coffee, though usually consumed separately Dayglow masters the art of combining the two perfectly! Coffee mocktail, need I say more? I'm in a LTR with Dayglow, the menu is forever evolving introducing new drinks! Usually based (and named) after movie titles, filmmakers or themes! Dayglow's commitment to quality isn't a mere coincidence, every cup is crafted with creative intent! I commend the baristas for not taking shortcuts and remaining dedicated to what seems to be the company's culture! Louis Sullivan said "form follows function". In our aesthetic driven society, the appeal of form cannot be denied. Similarly, trends should follow taste, ingredients and methods. Thankfully Dayglow is NOT eye candy alone, it has a strong mind, bright heart and a deep soul! So while I DO post photos of pretty drinks (no one likes an eye-sore), I guarantee that at Dayglow ALL that glitters IS gold. PROTIP: Not sure what to get? ASK THE BARISTA! DON'T BE SHY ~ There's a different barista behind the counter every time I stop by, yet EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has amazing, nonchalant energy. They're non imposing, yet super informative! Inquire about a specific drink or tell them your likes & dislikes, they'll make recommendations accordingly! Now that you understand WHY Dayglows is easily one of my top 3 favorite coffee shops in the city, let's get down to the nitty gritty. In an ocean of handbrew, distilled and "not coffee" (tea or sparkling alternatives), "CREATIONS" and "SIGNATURE" drinks are my safe haven! Hotel Chevalier, not based on frills alone! Every sip is like a bright summer day. The coconut cream is smooth, the lime and nutmeg balance out deliciously! Warhol & Warhol 2.0, chocolate orange cream in liquid form! This is like walking into a dark room with neon lights. It's rich, bright yet full bodied. Howling Princess, smooth, balanced and blue. Similar in taste to the Warhol. We love this one. Phantom Thread Watching the process of your drink being smoked is fun! Set my drink on fire, WooHoo! However, I detest what the flavors the infusion brought out in my drink! =( It tasted like someone emptied out an ashtray in my mouth. Skip! To be fair it could have been the day but I didn't dare try again! Otherwise I actually really like the ingredients used to make the drink. There Will Be Blood, Thicker consistency, think a frothy smoothie shake, charcoal activated and scrumptious! A total fan of the tiny, thin crunchy stuff on top? Reminiscent of an orange Julius. I love this drink and ditch the long, red, fun, impractical sipping straw it comes with! I get at-least like 2-3 drinks when I come by! Lol Some patrons at Dayglow go for the usual latte and coffee enthusiasts often indulge in simple black coffee (a variety of flavors from a world wide selection). There's something for everyone! Super excited to continue to enjoy the drinks crafted at DAYGLOW! Uhmm can I come up with a Halloween menu with you?

Coffee was very interesting and unique! Place was very chill and I liked the outside seating. They gave me an extra coffee too, I think I just got lucky but it was very good nontheless. I talked to a barista about pour overs for around 30 minutes so the service was very great as well. Just expensive for me as a lowly college boy.

If I had a penny for every time I talked about this shop after visiting I would be able to comfortably retire. Dayglow has been on my visit list for years and it's everything I dreamed it would be. The shop is bright, electric, fun and full of plants. What really caught my attention was the retail beans they offer, just WOW. Manhattan, April, Black and White, Nomad, Luna, DAK, just to name a few, are some of the best roasters in the world and they were all dangerously within reach. I could've easily lost all my theoretical penny's at this shop. I ended up ordering the last of an anaerobic from Nomad on espresso which tasted like straight strawberry juice, and the cha cha drink which had espresso, condensed coconut milk, blue algae and cinnamon which was quite fun. The baristas were very friendly, there were plenty of empty seats to choose from, and a few pastry options. Overall, this experience was 10/10. Everyone needs to visit. Thanks for existing Dayglow.

I've been on a latte kick lately. I usually get my coffee black and wanted to try Dayglow. If you read various reviews from media platforms, Dayglow has some great reviews. Unfortunately, I've cut back on carbs and sugars so I'm limited to simple lattes or lattes with alternative sweeteners. The drink menu here sounds divine and very appealing. I asked the barista if they had alternative sweeteners or if they could cut back on the sugar/sweetener level and they mentioned all their drinks were premade with sweetener. I opted for a simple latte with oat mlk. Tasty and simple and make with good quality products. Came here early morning before the city woke up during the weekend. So indoor seating and street parking was ample. There's also a few tables on the sidewalk. The bathroom is literally a party with a disco lazer light show. Cool to check out. Overall, a cool spot in the heart of Silverlake.

seen this place multiple times and finally tried it out. by far the cutest coffee shop. got a chai and it was probably one of the best iv had. pretty pricey but i would go again. rate: 8.7

Wow just wow, this is up there with some of the best coffee I've ever had. "The Warhol" sad to see my glass coming to empty. Definitely coming back and would recommend if in the area.

Took my parents here when they visited us recently in LA. It's such a cute cafe. I'm a sucker for pink neon. The drinks were delicious and the service was great. The interior was beautiful. Parking was right up front, we were lucky to find a meter close by.

I discovered this place a few years ago as their menu featuring ghibli characters caught my attention and haven't found a place like it. Their coffees taste amazing and are fragrant. I suggest trying a brew using Fritz! I'll typically order an iced oatmilk latte but have ordered something no longer on the menu I believe which was strange, complex, and delicious! This drink was a citrusy coffee with tonic. Perfect for the warmer days! Finding parking can be a bit of a challenge considering this location. You'd be lucky if you found street parking right outside the shop! I recommend parking in the residential area on Descanso. Also! If they run out of the cardamom buns (which I recommend), head over to Clark Street since this is where they get them :)

No notes! I really enjoyed the Moonrise Kingdom drink I had today on this rainy, cool day. It allowed me to get by caffeine kick, while also making it a yummy dessert-like drink. The roasted marshmallow on top was a lovely addition. This is a small location, and as other reviewers had mentioned, this place can fill up quick. It's funny, when I walked in there was one person ahead of me, some people sitting at the tables and that's it. But after I placed my order, I turned around and there was a small line behind me! Where did all these people come from!? How did they enter so quietly that I didn't even notice!? Regardless, the line went quick. The Moonrise Kingdom drink took a little longer to come out then two other easier-to-prepare drinks, but I could tell the barista was putting a lot of care into my drink-and it made me even more excited to try it. I had no idea this location had so many awesome caffeinated creations. I think I took things so literally I thought whatever was highlighted in neon on the wall was all the had to offer-wrong, LOL, I was so wrong. I'd definitely come back and try a different drink next time, it was hard to pick just one! As most places in this part of town, it was street parking. If you're not in a rush, I recommend parking a little further away and walking. It allows you to notice stores you maybe wouldn't have noticed if you were driving or parked closer. I parked a little less than a half mile away and really enjoyed the stroll.

This drink is like a party in a cup! It starts with a punch of sweet clementine, then hits you with a zesty kick from the house bitter tonic and dry juniper. Just when you think it can't get any better, the algae coffee adds a quirky twist that keeps your taste buds guessing. The bright blue and yellow layers are as fun to look at as they are to sip. It's the perfect pick-me-up for anyone craving a bold and adventurous flavor adventure!

Excellent selection of coffee beans at a sunny location on Sunset. A good place to catch up on some reading while drinking good coffee.

Super cute spot to grab some coffee or matcha! Service was quick and there's surprisingly more seating available than I would've expected from a smaller cafe.

Good coffee but $27 for two cups of coffee? Yeems, Alibi Coffee are excellent coffee shops without the crazy prices.
