Los Angeles Is Now America's No. 1 City for Coffee

Avoid the salmon bagel. Took 15 minutes and wasn't even a bagel - the bread most closely resembles a fluffy hot dog bun and came in the shape of a U instead of an O. I'm not a bagel snob but this wasn't it.

Great way to begin the day. A Nicaraguan Espresso blend gives the latte a smooth balanced flavour!

Super planty and cute. Some of the seating was kinda uncomfortable, but the vibe was great

I got the yoghurt (12$, with fruits, granola, cacao nibs, and dates) and the daily brew (4$). The only good thing about it was that there are free refills for the daily brew. The yoghurt came in a to-go container (despite me sitting in the cafe to avoid waste) and it was rather small. There were only 3 raspberries and a few blueberries and also barely any dates or granola. So I pretty much paid 12$ for a maybe 12oz bucket of yoghurt. Way too overpriced and absolutely not worth it! The waiter is nice and service was good. However they disappeared for more than 30 minutes with no one at the counter. I saw people come in and wait only to leave again. Would be great if they had enough staff to have the counter running.

Vibey cafe with tasty coffee drinks and matcha. Comfortable seating, calm, quiet with soft lighting. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow at 10/3. Live music Wednesday nights in the same space under a different name.

Overpriced, rude staff, stop serving breakfast at 10:30am. Ridiculous! And they call themselves a 4 star hotel

Yesterday the staff of Integral coffee were very friendly, but this morning the two ladies serving coffee made me feel so awful. They laughed at me and called my hair "disgusting" as I walked up to the counter. As I ordered, one of them quickly left. When we sat down on the sofa, my husband then noticed the other one turning around to take a selfie facing *outward* into the lobby, right where we were sitting. I was a guest of Freehand Hotel for two nights and really enjoyed the lobby before this moment.
