This was truly an experience. From the outside spots to sit leisurely to the inside wonderment of a fun place for coffee. I have to say if you are vegan or gluten free look no further. If you want just a regular latte with whole milk I’d be weary and branch out to order a truly strange-seeming drink. The notorious black was a hit!!! It was awesome! My friends had the matcha madness drink and they truly enjoyed. I love Harry Potter and you will too after this stop! Thanks!

An absolutely wonderful experience, not to be missed! The whole menu is full of fun and playful offerings. The amount of thought and creativity makes the entire visit such a great experience. I can’t emphasize enough that this is a destination in enough itself. The themed drinks are incredible, we had the “Poison Apple Cider” which comes with a hand scooped toasted marshmallow; the “Mischief Macarooned” latte, topped with a cute pink meringue and sparkles; and the Notorious Black coffee with added charcoal and rosemary. That last one was a really fun experience it has a kind of roasted taste the rosemary is definitely there so make sure that you like rosemary. I’ve never had anything like that before, personally I loved the charcoal it’s good for your body! The atmosphere is absolutely charming and there is so much detail to take in, such a fun place to get your coffee. Definitely not one to miss. I would definitely take friends or harry potter obsessed kids here, it’s such a treat.

Quaint, charming and comfy are three words I would describe this Wizardly coffee shop. It was busy when we were there, but the food is legit good and the drinks, although quirky, are still tasty or interesting enough to draw you in. If your a Harry Potter fan or just want to see what good execution on a themed coffee shop looks like; look no further.

Incredible coffee and pastries! Really fun Harry Potter themed decor, too. I got a latte and a chocolate hazelnut pastry. Only negative is that they don’t open till 8 AM.

Any Harry Potter fan needs to put this on their must visit lists. I’ll never forget my first time walking in here and just having so many wow moments. The coffee tastes so fresh, the staff are friendly and the pastries tastes yummy! The shop is also done up so well and just a nice place to spend time. Definitely, definitely recommend!

Magically delicious beverages that are Instagram worthy. The drinks average $6-$8 which is too high for me on a regular basis, but for a special treat it's worth it, plus they're a cute wizard themed Black owned business so even more worth it.

The coffee is fantastic as is the food. A must-visit for Harry Potter fans, the atmosphere will transport you into that realm. But even non Potterheads will love this chill atmosphere, great location and yummy treats and beverages. Good spot for lunch or coffee and a snack. I highly recommend it!

*If you read any of my other reviews I’m very lenient on my reviews or I’m easily impressed but this place truly blew my mind* My hopes were not high walking into this spot being that they have a more creative theme and I was expecting to be judged for not being a creative. Total opposite! Everyone here were so friendly! We all know I’m a lemonade connoisseur so this drink was perfect for me! It looked super cool and taste AMAZING!! Then the vegan breakfast sandwich was unbelievable. I honestly would never have known this was not actually meat had they not told me when I ordered it 🤓 If you are walking, biking or driving pass Nimbus please stop in! It’s cool looking inside and outside with amazing drinks and food to match!!

Brace yourself for some magical mischief and caffeinated adventures at Missing Nimbus Coffee in DTLA! While our beloved wizardly haunt might be temporarily closed (cue the tears of caffeine-deprived sorcerers everywhere), fear not, for there's much to ponder and praise. Sure, the Notorious Black might not have cast the spell we were hoping for, but let's be real, not every potion hits the mark. However, the rest of the menu? Pure enchantment! Picture this: Stumptown coffee, double shot lattes that could awaken even the sleepiest house elf, and plant-based shakes crafted with almond milk and spices fit for a potions master. And oh, let's not forget about the mysterious "Giggle Waters" - a concoction of fruits and herbs that promises to unleash giggles and grins faster than a tickling charm. But wait, there's more! For all you lemon-loving muggles out there, the Lemon Poppy bread is an absolute delight. One bite and you'll be transported to a sunny, citrus-filled paradise faster than you can say "Accio pastry!" So, whether you're a caffeine-deficient wizard, a witch in need of a potion fix, or a magical creature searching for your next indulgence, Missing Nimbus Coffee has got you covered. Just remember, even in the absence of our favorite haunt, the magic of good coffee and tasty treats lives on. Until next time, fellow Yelpers!

For Harry Potter Fans that are up to no good. Nimbus Coffee shop will have you feeling like your'e in an Urban set of Wizarding.... Located in downtown Los Angeles, in between a cigar shop & smoke shop. There's definitely an LA Vibe going on here with murals & framed artwork of celebrities. Love all the Potter Decor, Theme, Feels, & Potter themed drinks... Yass Women Owned Business!! They have some food & if you're lucky there's still some sweet treats. I ordered the Accio Avocado Toast & it was yummy! Pretty filling & I was starving. Peep the pics. I also tried a cold Notorious Black Latte & it was delicious. I freaking devoured it... I came on a very busy day. My drink orders did take about 25-30 mins but my food was ready in about 20 mins.... Yes it is pricier than what you would normally pay for coffee, food & sweets, but it's all in the ambiance that does it for me.... The lady that took the orders was still sweet even though it got pretty busy & the baristas seemed overwhelmed but still held it down. Hope you gals continue all your hard work when you open back up again!!... "Don't let the muggles get you down." You'll want to visit Nimbus before they close at this location on December 11, 2022. Im glad I was able to visit before they close their doors. Their next location is still in the works, so until then "I solemnly swear I am up to no good!" Just an Fyi. It's downtown LA. There's some metered street parking, nearby parking lots & parking garages. I wasn't familiar with the area & ended parking in the attached parking garage for $20. It was all day parking, but it worked out for me Bec I ended up walking around & checked out LA Live, Crypto Arena & grabbed a drink at Tom's. 'Twas a good Day in LA!

I was in DTLA and Nimbus was a decent walk from where I was out. I decided to hoof it. When I got there there was a a small line but I think it was mostly from people just using their wait time to take a look at all the decor and take photos. I had no idea there was a theme to it so I had some trepidation about the drinks here; I figured if it's themed then the food/drinks won't be good. I will say though that it's hard NOT to won over by the Hogwart's/Wonderland-ish decor. It's got a whimsy to it that's hard not to be won over by. What's more I saw that they had a variety of non-coffee drinks that could easily venture into mocktail category at a bar. While I was ordering that I was told they have a pup cup with whipped cream AND bacon. I ended up managing to find a seat and while I sat there I couldn't help but end up taking pictures as well-the punnery alone was enough to document. My drink, the Sorcerer's Tears was good-but even with the lite ice it was over far to quickly, but that's about the only gripe I have. Enjoy the pictures!

NIMBUS COFFEE, as you may have guessed, is a Harry Potter, or Wizarding World, themed cafe. The theme is very well executed. The decor, the portraits and the drinks reflect this. More importantly, the theme wasn't just a schtick - there's substance too because the drinks taste GREAT! Metered parking is available on the street in front and there always seem to be available ones. There are a few tables inside for you to enjoy your drinks inside.

Had a magical experience despite the unwecomed guest that had to be escorted out by security. The interior is fully decorated. Newspaper wall with moving displays. Wand wall. Potions bookcase. An amazing pastry display. Yes the drinks are on the higher end but totally worth it. Ordered the Notorious Black (Iced) and it was amazing! Rosemary syrup They are relocating on Dec 11 with no new location determined yet so get it now! Not a promoter just super sad I don't live closer.

Such a lovely coffee place. I loved all the interior decors. Staffs were very nice, friendly and helpful with the menu. Coffee were a tat pricey but it was well worth the experience. The coffee were good.

Loved the decor and attention to detail, names of the drinks and food, and of course the taste. I got the Notorious Black and it was delicious. The food may seem a little pricey but honestly it fills you up and tastes so good it is worth it. I would come back here again to try their pastries and other drinks. Worth checking out especially if you are into Harry Potter.

This may just be the BEST coffee shop in LA! If you love Harry Potter (like me!) or are just generally into wizards, witches and warlocks - you will love Nimbus Coffee. The way they've decorated the shop just can't be beat. It's as if you're stepping into a theme park with details so intricately done perfectly. I took photos of every nook and cranny, it was just SO cool. My friend and I chilled there for over an hour just chilling and chatting. Really nice enviornment for a catch up session with a friend, a date, shoot why not just sit in there alone. It works for any situation. Staff was very nice and patient while we decided what to have. I was sooooo sad the peanut butter brownie and Notorious Black people rave about were not available the day I went. Womp, wompppppppppppp. What I ended up getting is completely slipping my mind but I loved it. I'll absolutely be back to Nimbus Coffee and hope they have those mysterious items I wasn't able to try last time!

Day 1: Saw Nimbus Coffee on Yelp and saw they were closed on Mondays. Day 2: Walked over with my bf and dog and they were closed on Tuesdays too (crying emoji). Day 3: Finally made it! And it was worth the wait. First off, the decor is so cute and you're going to wanna take pics for the Gram. The employees were super nice as well. Because it was close to closing time, I ordered two avocado toasts with bacon to go. As I waited, I had the witches cold brew which was made with oat milk, condensed milk and spices. It was delicious and my only regret was that there wasn't more of it. Super size me on that next time! Walked home and we enjoyed the avocado toasts. I love that they didn't skimp on the avocado, or the bacon either! Great flavor and the toast held up well after a 10 minute walk, in to go packaging. Kinda pricey, but I'm a fan! 5.0

Overall: 3.4/5 We were looking at apartments around this area in January 2022 and stumbled upon this Harry Potter themed coffee shop (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRAdT4nF/?k=1). They have seasonal drinks so the one I found on their Yelp page (Mandrake Matcha) wasn't available anymore. Mischief Macaroon Latte Iced ($8): This is pricey for a latte but it came with a huge meringue-like topping which adds a nice texture contrast. The coconut almond latte was pretty good but there was too much ice and not enough liquid so it wasn't worth it. Almond Croissant ($4.50): This was just okay. It didn't have enough sweetness.

This a super cute place with a fun theme. I know there are super fans out there who would definitely geek out over this place. I know my sister, who is a Harry Potter fan, would love to check this place out. I actually told a couple of my friends about this spot, as well. I tried their Mischief Macaroon Latte. According to the employee who was taking my order, this is a popular drink that many people like. I wanted to give it a try so, I ordered it. Yeah, not for me. Too much going on and I felt that the ingredients were battling each other. Loved the presentation but it's not something I would reorder. It did start tasting better half way in, and after I thoroughly mixed it, however, it's still a drink I would not reorder.

Fun Harry Potter-inspired cafe! If you love Harry Potter you'll for sure get a kick out of the decor and menu offerings! Located in DTLA there's a decent amount of street parking and public parking lots in the area which makes it pretty easy to get there. Sundays have free parking at the meters, so that's also a plus! I came in the late morning with a group of friends who all love Harry Potter, and it was so fun to see the decor! We came around Christmastime so there were some Christmas holiday decor as well. My favorite part was all the fun murals and paintings throughout the store. The drinks menu had a pretty good variety all with really fun names and ideas, and they also had some holiday seasonal drinks as well! My one hesitation is that the drinks are quite expensive. The drinks were tasty and fun, but I think pretty standard, so the cost for value was not the best in my opinion. My group and I ordered the Ginny Gingerbread, the Poison Apple Cider (seasonal drinks), Notorious Black, Mischief Macaroon, and the Dark Chocolate Mocha. The Ginny Gingerbread was pretty good, though there wasn't too much gingerbread flavor in it. The Poison Apple Cider had a toasted marshmallow at the top which made the drink way too sweet, and the marshmallow didn't really go all that well with the apple cider. The Notorious Black was pretty good, though the rosemary wasn't that strong so it tasted mostly like a regular latte. The Mischief Macaroon was pretty good and had a light coconut flavor. The iced drink came with a pink meringue cookie-like topping. It looked cute, but was a bit hard to eat. The dark chocolate mocha was also good, but tasted like a pretty standard mocha drink. The pastry offerings looked pretty good too! They had some pastries made in house that looked very delicious but I didn't get a chance to try them.

If you like Harry Potter then this is a super cute coffee shop to stop by. They have decorations inspired by the movie and I love how they made a wall that looks like the daily prophet with their TVs. We came here on a Saturday morning around 10am and there was a small line. You have to scan the QR code for their menu and if the line is too long you can also place your order online. The wait did take a bit of time so prepare to wait a bit. I ordered their Ginny Gingerbread and really liked it. It's a nice sweet and creamy drink that isn't too sugary. My bf got their Notorious Black and it's not something we would get again. Like others have mentioned, the staff didn't seem too friendly. I had asked one of them for the bathroom code and she didn't acknowledged me so I wasn't sure if she heard me, but she did glance over and replied. FYI, the code is 0934 which I thought was super cute. Overall, I think this is a cute place to visit especially if you're a HP fan, just choose your drinks wisely.

This place is no longer there.. would be nice if the location was updated or the status was updated. Luckily, Ideaology Coffee was located here and open.

I'm so disappointed in this place, I really wanted to enjoy it aside from the amazing Harry Potter decorations. Sadly the food and drink were just not up to par. I stopped by Saturday around 8:30 and it was not too busy but a few tables taken and some people waiting for orders. I scoured the menu and pastry selection, asking the friendly cashier what was recommended and how some items are made. I settled upon the blueberry earl grey scone and a notorious black latte. These two came to $15. I took some time to walk around the shop and admire the amazing displays of Harry Potter/magical decorations and decor. They did an absolutely amazing job with the set up! While I waited I could not help but be extremely annoyed at the barista screaming at the top of her lungs for orders. Reading through reviews, I'm not the first to notice the obnoxiousness of her deliverance. And I waited a while. A good while. Another customer who was there before me and only received her order a moment before I, simply had an avocado toast. I'm not sure why an avocado toast took that long but given my wait time for my coffee, it's clear that wait times are longer than expected here. I finally had my latte and was immediately underwhelmed by both the drink and scone. The scone looks pretty and has a good blueberry taste, it's soft but there isn't much to it. It tasted more like a wheat scone and no earl grey flavors, and although it wasn't too sweet, it was just boring. It definitely looks better than it tastes. As for the drink, I asked for it to be made with whole milk but it tasted like water and the rosemary, or lack there of, was the only flavor I sensed throughout the cup. Slightly bitter but herby, there really was no other flavor to be tasted. For an almost $8 cup, it's quite ridiculous to price it at something not even worthwhile. And for all I know, they just have a bad barista who can't make a decent drink. I thought about wanting to return to try something else, but nothing about this first time experience makes me even want to chance it again.

They're currently closed for construction, I believe. But let me tell you: when they reopen... jump on your Nimbus 2000 and GO!! The pastries are so delicious! I had the Earl Grey Blueberry Scone. I devoured it before I could take a photo. It had some delicious lemon drizzle on top. Man oh man. It's what my dreams are made of! The baristas all welcomed you in and it's such a diverse group of people! It truly was so beautiful to see. They actually helped us out with ordering some drinks. My daughter had their hot chocolate, which she LOVED. My boyfriend had a cold brew that he enjoyed. I however, was feeling like an "Adventurous Wizard" (as they call it online) and ordered a Mischief Macaroon. It was almost too pretty to drink. I really enjoyed my drink. You can sit inside and listen to amazing music or enjoy your drink outdoors on their tables and admire the artwork.

10/10 ! That tuna salad sandwich is the best I've ever had, truly. The bread has a perfect crunch on the outside & nice and soft in the inside. Now that tuna salad is truly packed with flavor, extremely flavorful and hardy. I could eat this weekly tbh. I had the Notorious Black w almond milk and it was so delicious. Nimbus is a perfect spot for working, meetings and grab n go too. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful too, pointing out some of their favorites. The decor and interior design is stellar of course as well. My new favorite coffee spot!

Yelp
This is by far the most expensive coffee place I have EVER been to. Two coffees came out to almost 18 dollars, about $9 each... I got the orange one the cashier recommended and it was absolutely VILE. the coffee itself was fine, but the orange flavor mixed in with the milk was revolting. The awful taste almost sent me into anaphylactic shock! The interior is kinda cool I guess, and the coffee isn't bad, but for $9 a cup, it is definitely not worth it at all. Like are the coffee beans handpicked by Beyonce herself and wrapped in gold leaf or something???? Nimbus Coffee, yall got A LOT of explaining to do to justify ur crazy a$$ prices!!

Perfect place to get coffee on Halloween. I haven't been to LA in several years, but had to giver this place a try after seeing fellow Yelper, Leonard A's review. It's almost an adventure coming here because of its witch/wizard theme. This is the kind of place where I want to enjoy my coffee inside rather than getting it to go. It has regular coffee drinks, but I came here mainly for its unique elixirs and libations, like Notorious Black and Dragon's Breath. Notorious Black is a latte drink made with charcoal, rosemary, and two shots of espresso. Rosemary in a latte drink didn't sound appealing to me, but still had to give it a try because it's so different. It wasn't bad, but this isn't something I would order again. The rosemary taste was too overwhelming for me. Dragon Breath is basically a fancy looking dark cherry soda. It was refreshing and tart, just the way I like it. Sweetness level was just right as well. I also tried two of its pastry items. The strawberry pop tart was good but strawberry filling was a bit skimpy. Early Grey Blueberry scone was excellent, and didn't taste dry and stale like most places. It had more of a muffin-like texture. Earl grey was more of a subtle aftertaste, but I thought it worked well. Service was friendly. Price is very high, especially on its specialty drinks. Since I haven't been in this area in a while, I'm not sure if this is the standard, but paying close to $9 for any drink (other than alcohol) seems too steep. I still like this place enough to return, but probably not on a regular basis. Please note, this place doesn't have a printed menu. You have to scan its barcode or go to its website nimbuscoffeela.com to view the menu.

Such a unique coffee shop. I'm not even a Harry Potter fan, but I'm digging the vibe. So creative! Charcoal Rosemary matcha latte was so yum, originally with espresso, got matcha instead. Definitely going back to try more and get the full experience.

Would highly recommend this Harry Potter themed coffee shop. They really stick to the theme and make it modern. The pastries are amazing, the drinks as well. I was impressed by the black hex latte's flavor and presentation. Really festive drinks and atmosphere. It's near the crypto arena and all those downtown venues, and a short walk from the hotels around there as well.

Super cute Harry Potter themed cafe with touches on LA too. Food and drink is a little pricey but you are paying for the experience of it all! Found free street parking nearby on a Sunday morning.

This was everything I expected and more!!! My husband found this place and as a fan of Harry Potter, I had to come. It's a small place so if you're coming with a large group, they might not have enough space. They do, however, offer plenty of seating. As far as drinks go, I enjoyed mine. (Mischief Macaroon Latte) It's made with coconut milk, cinnamon, hazelnut, and double espresso. I definitely want to go back and try out their other drinks and maybe order some food. Great service. The staff was efficient and friendly.

I've heard about this cafe for a while now, but never got a chance to go. My new friend Leonard finally put some fire under me and motivated me to finally make my way out there and give it a shot! We came on a Sunday afternoon, and we were both able to find parking quite easily. The shop is wonderfully decorated, and the Witches and Wizards aesthetics are lovely. Actually a perfect place to visit when you're in the Halloween spirit! You can find their updated menu online, which consists of some desserts, lattes, cold brew coffee and giggle water (fruit soda) and hot chocolate for those who don't like coffee or are too young to drink it! I tried some of their desserts and actually really enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake. It has a nice tart flavor and some chocolate bits that helped balance out the sour. The brownie was also good, but I recommend sharing that one because it does get overwhelming unless you really like chocolate! The giggle water I had was really yummy. The Sorcerer's Tears had a nice raspberry compote which added a nice texture as you drank (like boba). And the pineapple flavors made for a deliciously fruity drink! Plus the mint made it super refreshing. Lovely little themed cafe, perfect for meeting up with friends or a quick photo op with your drinks.

Ok besides the fact that we are Harry Potter fans and the place was totally cute, the coffee here was legit! We had caramel lattes and teas and it was delicious!! We didn't get to try their pastries since we just had breakfast prior but I can tell already that it had to be tasty! It drinks weren't too overly sweet and artificially flavored so I'm a fan! It wasn't too touristy so if you're in the area, definitely give it a try!! Good job Nimbus Cafe staff! You guys are amazing

Yelp
Always wanted to try this place, love Harry Potter, and really wanted to like this place. Ordered the sorcerer's tears, taste kind of like club soda to me, nothing special. So for the pricing, to me it's overpriced drinks for the photo op. The inside is cool, a little small and compact to maneuver if you ask me. Hard to find parking, either street parking or find a parking garage. The worst part is customer service was so blah, the one who helped us was not helpful at all, I'm not going to say she was rude, but it's like she didn't want to be there. I don't think I'll come back, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Yelp
Only complaint is slow service for not being that busy , but personally didn't mind the wait because there is plenty of cute decor to look at. Including some cool and very creepy pictures in the restrooms haha . As for the pros ! The vanilla latte was solid, not overly sweet but still some sweetness to it . The place itself has a very cute vibe . The baristas were friendly and helpful . The plain warmed croissant was satisfying . If you're into Harry Potter or sorcery or witchcraft this is the spot for you lol I would come back if in the area and not in a rush .

Yelp
I love this place!! Such a cool and wizardly vibe! Instantly brightened my day to walk in here. Very friendly staff and fun drink menu. I would guess that this is the most popular coffee shop in South Park, downtown Los Angeles, and I can see why. I ordered the special of the day, called the Mandrake Matcha, and it was this gorgeous espresso drink, filled with dark chocolate fudge, vanilla chocolate milk, and sprinkled with matcha and cocoa powder. There is also a white chocolate mandrake inside, and a huge sprig of mint on top. Wow! Gorgeous drink! Note to self: Always order the special of the day. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Wizard theme throughout the place and really fun decor. They have a food menu that looks delicious too, so I'll have to return for more drinks and try the food too. This is a place I would like to try everything on the menu.

Nimbus Nimbus Nimbus. Such a great coffee shop. This place has such a great vibe, well crafted drinks and a variety of fare that does not disappoint. I have been here several times now with friends and family and have taken to dropping by at least once a week (coming from the Pasadena area) For you Harry Potter fans you will love their take on the Wizarding world. I love the decor and the creativity demonstrated throughout the shop. They have daily specials and the staff are happy to guide or help you make your coffee or specialty drink suggestions. My fave is the Sorcerers Tears. Their Avocado Toast is another good item if you want to enjoy a breakfast item I mentioned the decor, be certain to look around for various photo ops and you Potter Heads will appreciate their take on the Daily Prophet

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I am sooo freaking happy that this place exists!!! My friend and I were really excited to stop by here to grab some coffee, and we absolutely geeked out while we were there. I love the decor here and all the attention to detail, especially the witty little puns that related to both coffee and Harry Potter. I ordered the Mischief Macaroon, which is a coconut almond milk and hazelnut latte topped with a cute pink merengue. This tasted sooo good! I'm usually a little skeptical about novelty drinks because they tend to fall short of my expectations, but this went above and beyond! I especially liked that it wasn't too sweet. The sweetness came from the merengue as it slowly dissolved into the drink. My friend ordered the Orange is the New Hex, which is an orange blossom creamsicle latte. The flavor reminded me of an Orange Bang with some espresso. If you're around the LA Live area in DTLA, I highly recommend checking out this coffee shop!

Nimbus Coffee is a harry potter themed local coffee shop that serves delicious and sweet drinks. The coffee shop is super awesome with their decorations and harry potter themed menu as well. The drinks are slightly pricey but they're super worth it! For parking you can park on the streets. A cute spot to check out!

I kept seeing these delicious drinks on my IG newsfeed so I knew I had to try them. This shop is in downtown LA so parking can be complicated but when I went on a Wednesday afternoon there was plenty of meter parking. I tried the mischief macaroon latte and it was delicious. I was not expecting a macaroon to be included but I guess that's why it's in the name. The drink is colorful and delicious. They have outdoor seating available for you to enjoy your drinks and pastries. Don't forget to check out the mural they have.

Have you been to this hidden gem in LA? Harry Potter Themed Cafe!! ‍Iced Mischief Macaroon 8/10 ‍Mandrake Matcha 7/10 Both drinks were unique and cool. I personally liked the Iced Mischief Macaroon more because it was an iced coffee drink with a macaroon on top. The Mandrake Matcha my friends enjoyed it! They liked how the matcha, chocolate, white chocolate with green and oat milk mixed perfectly. The drinks were expensive it was about $10 for a cup and it was a regular size. It's a cute place to go for pics if you're a fan of Harry Potter. Staff was very friendly and funny!

If you're a HP fan then this is the place to go. Drinks are mad sweet so if you are looking for something not, don't go here. Not only that but it's super pricey for what it's worth. They use stumpton beans so it made my $10 even less worth it. Cool experience I suppose but the drinks just look cool over taste

Place was kinda dirty and theres not much seating. I don't really care much about that, but the staff was rude which is annoying because I had never been there before and I wasn't sure wtf I was ordering. They weren't even in a rush it was just my sister and I in there or else I would've understood. Coffee was whatever. I can see why it had no customers when I went

Being huge HP fans, we've been wanting to visit this spot since we saw it on IG. It did not disappoint! We ordered food and drinks. Mine was the Matcha Mandrake... so good with a sweet surprise! A friend ordered the BLT another delicious choice. We got some giggle waters and pastries all good! We paid $10 parking in the structure next door but there's probably street parking. We walked around the area afterwards so parking was worth it... Crypto.com/Microsoft arena are both couple blocks away.

A must for any Wizarding World Fans or Boutique Coffee lovers. Orange is the New Hex with Oatmilk - YUM! Dragons Breath- Delicious! Avocado Toast - Delectable and filling. Glutten Free Chocolate Cake - Good and not too sweet. This place is pricey but it is a fun experience and a nice treat.

Absolutely delicious , I can't wait to go again . I ordered a Mischief Macaroon which I enjoyed it was so good, my son ordered the monkey cure and he absolutely loved it I was a little skeptical at first since it was vegan but he enjoyed it and the banana candies on top were so cute it's the little details for me. Costumer service was nice. They helped us with our choices of drinks.

Absolutely lovely staff with decadent desserts and drinks. The decor inside is so reminiscent of our beloved Wizarding World, it really was a treat being there. I would absolutely come back again and try other things!

I am a big Harry Potter fan so when I saw this place during my stroll, I knew I had to order something. The theme was really well thought out with smart menu items and interesting drinks. My sister ordered the cold brew and absolutely hated it. I tried a sip and it tasted overly acidic and ridiculously sour. Hoping that it was just a bad roast... The flat white that I ordered tasted fine. It's very standard so not much to comment on. Overall, cute neighborhood coffee shop that serves average but pricey coffee!

My partner and I stopped by before heading to the California Science center. As someone who loved the Harry Potter movies growing up, I loved the entire theme of this location. My partner never saw the movies growing up, I know what a shame lol, Even without knowing the theme, he found the place to be really cute. I got a Witches Cold Brew and, luckily because it was the weekend, a matcha scone. I loved my coffee. It was brewed perfectly and had the right hints of literally everything. It was the perfect morning pick me up. I'll be honest, I wasn't hungry and scones are not my favorite thing to eat. I ordered it though because the customer before me ordered one and the cashier totally got me by saying it was a weekend only item. I am so glad that I tried the scone! I usually find scones really dense and heavy, which is why I don't enjoy them. The scone was perfect density and super filling! I finished only half before being full. Not pictured is what my partner ordered, I forgot the coffee but he also got a blueberry scone that was also really good.

Had been wanting to checkout this coffee shop since forever. Finally had the chance. Unfortunately the indoor is still not open but that's for everyone's safety. I loved the decor I could see from outside and Olán to support them once it's safe. They are being very covid safe and have the menu available through a QR code. Once you order you play through card or Apple Pay making it easy for customers. I ordered a Mischief Macaroon and it was delicious. I loved how they added the colorful macaroon on top of my drink. The mural on the side is also a perfect photo op. They have plenty of seating outside and are very pet friendly which I loved. Will be coming back for sure to try more of their drinks.

Being a college student, I had a lot of homework to do but was extremely tired of the seriousness of on-campus libraries. I was in search of a coffee shop near the USC area, and happened to stumble upon Nimbus! Being a Harry Potter fan, I just knew I had to try it out. Parking is always difficult in Los Angeles, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a parking garage right next to the coffee shop. Although they do charge, Nimbus Coffee was able to validate my parking spot, which was awesome! Going into the café, there was plenty of seating, which was perfect given I had work to do. Although I didn't spot any outlets where I sat, there was free WIFI (just ask them for the password)! The ambience noise was the perfect level for me to get all of my work done. It was one of my most productive sessions of the semester! And of course, hard work calls for fuel. Luckily Nimbus had the most delicious of food assortments. I got the blueberry scone, which was soft and incredibly delicious. The icing on top added a nice level of sweetness which was not overpowering. The milk chocolate mocha was my favorite - not too strong, just how I like it. The chocolate curls on top were a sweet touch. Overall, Nimbus Coffee was an amazing experience and a great choice for any USC student and Angeleno to get their coffee fix!

Okay for an obey priced coffee shop....it worth it. The mocha was made from actual chocolate...bomb...the other drink I had...I forgot it was also bomb . Yes not the usual coffee spot, they mix things with cool looking stuff. Oh yeah I had the matcha that' was delicious. Great matcha taste mixed with some white chocolate..yes.. It mixed well. Going to try their special matcha drink when it becomes available. Can't wait!

It was a stop by during a morning walk. Interesting coffee options and was unsure how these weird combinations would taste with coffee. First time trying I'd say go for the Orange Hex latte it will surprise you with its flavor profile and not very sweet at all . Liquid love is tumeric and beet based coffee , the turmeric is very strong if that is something you don't like then this is not for you . They do make all their coffee in almond /oat milk . They bake 2 scones a blueberry sweet and chives savory scones. For anyone from India having eaten the Kara bun( savory bun) this scone would remind of the evening chai time standing by the bakery stand .
