Blue Bottle Coffee

I came here because it's on my way to work and thought of giving it a try. I got a hot chocolate and their breakfast sandwich, I was truly disappointed. I paid $14 total for a basic hot coco I can make at home way better. The breakfast sandwich only had egg and their "special" salsa that tasted like Sriracha sauce. You're pretty much paying for the hip atmosphere. I feel upset I got ripped off but what can I do, now I know.

I was looking for a good cup of Joe & this was nearby. I ordered a hot “Nola”with almond milk & it was delicious. Solid flavor and perfect temperature. Their cold brew half can was also refreshing and energizing. I also had their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.

I’ve been coming to this Blue Bottle for years now, and it’s stayed consistent all throughout. The vibe is blight and nice, but there’s limited (and not very comfortable) seating. It’s definitely not where you want to come to get a good amount of work done. The service is hit or miss, with a range from nice and welcoming to aloof indifference (as it was when I came this last time). In the end it’s mainly about the coffee, and BB always delivers. While I’m an espresso nut, the iced NOLA is a must try if you haven’t already.

The cafe here is smaller than the other Blue Bottle. But they are promised for the same style as the factory style decoration and full of special fancy design. Except the cafe, the merchants with the classic blue bottle logo are also sold here. I would definitely recommend the pin and the limited summer edition drink: Nola Shakerato!!! The parking nearby costs but ones can find the free street parking nearby

Good coffee at a very good location. On the pricier side but to be expected in this area

Spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This location has merch and baked goods. Lots of seating available

Lovely location in Pasadena. The staff is welcoming and the coffee tastes great. Also loving the new winter set of beans. They taste great after making them in my Aeropress.

This Blue Bottle location has great friendly baristas and staff. Love the Nola Shakerato but my goto is cappuccino. There is parking just off of Willow but is not free. Street parking can be tough.

The Blue Bottle fall menu has arrived ! I decided to try the Spiced NOLA for the first time & it has been one of the smoothest yet flavorful latte that I have had in a while. Although they were extremely busy, I noticed that they continued to offer wonderful quality service with each guest. They were also very timely to get drinks to customers which I appreciated. Parking is limited, so be sure to plan accordingly. There are multiple paid parking lots near the cafe. The interior is a beautiful industrial design with open space seating. Overall, I was pleasantly impressed with the experience as I had a delicious drink, pastry & atmosphere all in one. I look forward to trying the Spiced NOLA again !!!

So good. Just go. Modern interior. Service was super friendly and educational. We were looking to buy their beans and the person helping us came out behind the register to go over some of the bean types. Look out for their special. I had the Samran Latte. So good.

We stopped by here before the APC sample sale which was nearby. It's a good coffee spot. Service is good too. I like the interior because it was sleek and clean. I ordered the Nola and it was good, but not memorable. I'll be down to come back again to try the other drinks. Till next time.

First time at this location and love that drinks have such a great consistency no matter the location. The matcha is so smooth and creamy, with the option to add simple syrup at their counter for sweetness. What really makes this place stand out is the seating area and the staff. I went this last sunday and the two workers who helped us around 12pm were so kind and helpful. Drinks were made perfectly and there's plenty of parking nearby!

Sunday morning are best spend in blue bottle starting with delicious egg bites and if your in mood for some sweet then Banana bread is great with plenty of walnuts in every bite . They carry almond milk which is house made and their Hayes Valley is the Italian blend which is a great way to start your morning after some yummy brekkie .

$22 for this... small ass sandwich and a not so sweet iced mocha no lid. Never stopping for coffee again in LA. Expansive just to be basic and lack luster.

I love the waffles here because they are freshly made and make for a nice sweet treat. Also enjoy their coffee. Service here is friendly and there is some free street parking. I had no trouble finding parking on a weekday midday.

Love this spot. As always you get a great cup of coffee. I do wish they have better non-coffee drinks for those who aren't coffee drinkers! Street parking only.

Rude service, high prices, but good waffles. I wish they gave everyone the same level of respect as we had to wait almost 20 mins for a waffle and other people came and were served immediately. No apology or anything, they didn't even call our name to let us know when the item is ready.

the NOLA is amazing, not too sweet and very flavorful. Coffee is particularly tasty. the music played is great, however the stool seating isn't very comfortable. the service was outstanding too.

Ordered the New Orleans (NOLA) style Iced Coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee in the Arts District and it was spot on. The coffee was delivered chilled, flavorful, and just as good as getting it in the cafe. It's refreshing to find a delivery that maintains the quality you'd expect sitting right at the coffee shop. For anyone in the Downtown Los Angeles area looking for a solid coffee choice, Blue Bottle delivers--literally and figuratively. Can't wait to sip on this again!

Love Blue Bottle coffee at home so super excited to finally try one of their brick and mortar locations. This location was justifiably very busy when we were there, but they made drinks efficiently and we found a place to sit without issue. We tried their iced NOLA and matcha latte. Kind of disappointed in the iced NOLA because there wasn't nearly enough chickory in it. And their matcha latte was good, but I've had better. I don't know if there was too much powder in it, but it had a powdery texture to it. However, I would still love to come back and try the other drinks they have to offer. Staff are friendly. Parking was a little difficult. Recommend stopping by when you're in the area.

Clean, minimal and modern shop with a simple menu offering of what they do best: coffee (with a side of delicious pastries). They specialize in single origin beans and the baristas take the time to make sure each brew is made perfectly. There is plenty of seating for those who are looking for a place to work or relax for a moment to enjoy their drink. The only challenging thing about this location is the parking, which is expected in this part of town: cross your fingers and hope the metered street parking gods are on your side!

After stopping by Zinc cafe, my SO and I came across this Blue Bottle location, which as a Bay Area native in origin, I had to stop in! This chain originated in Oakland, Ca, and then established stores in San Francisco. Only last year did I visit another Blue Bottle location in Culver City, so I'm definitely excited to see that they've expanded to more locations in Los Angeles. It just tastes like home! My absolute favorite thing to drink here is their New Orleans style iced coffee - prepared by a 12 hour cold brewing process - not only does it taste great it has an awesome caffeine kick! My SO ordered the mocha, and a cookie to go, and he enjoyed them both. And because I can't get enough of the New Orleans style iced coffee, I purchased a couple of pre-packaged cartons to-go as well.

Fist time here and I enjoyed my latte and waffle. Great service and they were pretty quick. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The had good music in the background. The only problem is parking. But they were filming a movie down the street.

My coffee and pastry was good. Haven't tired the actual food but I will next time. It's definitely pricy, but I don't really care if the taste is there. Service is definitely on the slow side...

I've had blue bottle a few times now and it hasn't been bad once. This is only about their coffee being most shops don't make their own sweet treats. As a coffee connoisseur I really enjoyed their different roast and Lattes. As for the baristas they're super great and attentive. Not only are they nice but everyone here can brew up a great tasting coffee of all types. The ambience is a lovely modern look with a touch of European. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because parking is a nightmare if their lot is full. -___-

I checked out Blue Bottle after a pottery class in the area and it was the perfect drink I needed. I got their matcha latte which was great and just the right amount of sweetness. My friend got their NOLA drink and she said it was wonderful. Although they don't have much seating available here, I definitely think this is a great place to do work. The atmosphere here is great -- modern coffee shop with great coffee. Will definitely be back!

A decent coffee shop with many helpful and friendly baristas. They give this cafe the extra bump of stars to an otherwise average coffee. The coffee is good here, but there are plenty of other alternative choices. I usually don't visit this location as a standalone experience. Usually I'm here to grab a coffee before or after a visit to the Arts district. With that said, I would rate this spot a 3/5. The real stars are the helpful baristas that will gladly give you suggestions or advice on brewing coffee at home. The shelves have coffee drip and cold brew at-home devices and pots. Parking is on the street or a close lot at 6th and Mateo.

Blue Bottle coffee has a clean and sleek interior and branding, the menu is simple with no frills. I come here for the New Orleans iced coffee, when I'm feeling like a splurge. And I really mean *splurge.* It's about $7 for a cup. I think the prices are ridiculous, but the New Orleans is really delicious when you want something subtly sweet.

Blue Bottle is definitely for those who like the taste of coffee. No thrills, frills, and/or surprises. Just coffee with straightforward ingredients. Also for those who don't mind waiting a bit as it's being prepared. Because the coffee preparation does take awhile - it allows for each cup to be crafted carefully. So that's appreciated. The menu offered is short and concise, with only a few items to choose from. Disclosure: the servings are small for the price. (Think a Short or Tall from Starbs but with a Venti price) Drinks I've tried: - Caffè Latte (3.5/5) - Cappuccino (3/5) Service: made with love Ambiance: modern, simplistic, clean Side note: I think the Bradbury location is a bit better. Hence, why the extra star*

Suck a cool and clean place: First time here and service was fast. The service was good and the guy who took my order was helpful in selecting pastries. They all look so delicious. We got the banana bread, so moist and the blonde brownie. They also make the waffles in-house fresh to order. Ordered the oat milk latte which was really light and not much coffee flavor, but warm and good for a cold rainy day like today. Wish it had more of a coffee flavor. Tasted like warm oat-milk and a hint of coffee. The Chocolate NOLA WAS DELICIOUS. Looking forward to going again and trying other drinks.

You know I'd consider myself somewhat of a coffee addict. I enjoy a hot or iced cup of black coffee. And for the longest time now I've always wanted to give Blue Bottle a try. Since I was just next door at Zinc Cafe I decided it was finally time. I walk in and the staff was very nice! I tell the guy taking my order that it's my first time here and I enjoy black coffee, so he recommended one of their pour over coffee. The environment was very mellow and the staff at this location was very welcoming too. Their pour over coffee was good. Nothing too crazy but I just wish I'd have had more coffee in my cup. The cup size was a little smaller than what I imagined. I'd probably go back again to try their lattes. A little part of me did kind of hype this place too much. It's okay. Let me know what drink I should probably try next.

Thought there would be parking since there's a lot, but only has 4 spaces. Basic blue bottle decor but needs some artwork. There are so many artist in the arts district, give someone local a shot. Service and coffee were cool.

Also solid. Nothing I go out of my way for, but a solid choice. There are just too many other great coffee shops in the area for this to be my first choice. Solid almond croissant though!

- Locale Destination - It's on Mateo street and Willow street in DTLA. Ambiance: Clean, modern and roomy. Very little seating outside. Menu: Very small but that's all you need. They do bring the quality, so no fuss is needed here. Some pasties. Merchandise: Insanely expensive. Mug for $35? Service: I guess many coffee shops stop offering the sugar packages and here is one of those, too. If you want sugar, you got to ask when you order. Parking: street parking but really pain in the butt to find it, so carpool! - Gluttony Expedition - Cappuccino: Wow. Even though I'm not a coffee lover, this taste quality is insanely good. Very smooth, well balanced, with a full body. Good quality froth milk, but wanted more foam for my cappuccino. You don't need sugar to appreciate the sweetness of coffee, though I prefer with it for any coffee in general. Just try! It'll make you love coffee. - Conqueror's Deduction - I'm not a coffee lover, but lately start tasting many coffee shops to research coffee. I'm a certified sommelier, so I do taste coffee like any other liquors and wine. This coffee reminds you that it's not just a coffee - good coffee is really addictive and makes you wanna come back here for more. It doesn't matter how expensive it is. You just can't go back to the bad coffee if you like coffee. This coffee truly wowed me, changed my perspective on coffee, and made me think I wanted to drink THIS coffee when I drink coffee. Try this! You'll love this coffee. *** My Coffee ranking *** (cappuccino w/whole milk comparison since no one offers soy milk anymore). Updated 1/30/22 1. Blue Bottle (DTLA) 2.

I passed by this coffee shop every day to go to work in the city of Vernon and today I decided stopped by and was very delighted with the great environment and great help by JC friendly got me a cold brew was very good.

#93 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I decided to check out this Blue Bottle location after heading back to my car from Verve. It was one of those long days where another hit of caffeine seemed to be a good idea. And since I just had my daily dose of coffee at Verve, it was impossible not to compare. Sadly, the iced sweet latte I ordered to go at Blue Bottle fell short. The coffee just wasn't as rich or smooth as I would have expected from a higher end chain coffeeshop/brand like blue bottle. If I really had to compare, I would say my sweet latte was as lackluster and bland as a basic latte from Starbucks, but with a higher price tag. Suffice to say, I'll be sticking to the other, better (at least in my opinion), coffeeshops in the area - like Verve, Stumptown, or Maru. ******************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

Amazing first experience here at blue bottle. The food was great, the drink was amazing, and the team was warm and welcoming. Definitely made my first experience here a great one. Will be back

I love blue bottle for their coffee, obviously. Just ordered DOORDASH & I'm furious on their butter blondie & teacake. I paid $3 for butter blondie and $4.50 and they are before tax. Do you see how small they are???? I thought I'm ordering my breakfast not one bite snack! I'll never order their pastry over photos. They don't taste any fancy to deserve that price either. Such a waste of money.

This place never lets me down , they always have the best coffee, much better than Starbucks. I tried verve down the street and my hot cappuccino was cold. Thankfully blue bottle saved the day! Always great service

Sooooo happy there is my San Francisco coffee place here ! People are sooooo nice and finally have a piece of home .

Had an americano. Very smooth and the perfect balance of acid and bitterness with cream combination. I wish the had heavy cream as an option.

It was hot outside this weekend. Was going to check out 6th street and came by here afterward. Got an order of the New Orleans style coffee and it was pleasantly refreshing for the hot day. It's a cute little shop and also bustling. Not a bad place to cool down and enjoy a cup of coffee.

I'm use to a more friendly atmosphere coming from the mid west , my iced tea was just that. Nothing special, a smile or kind word would of been nice.

I tried the sweet latte and almond butter. The week latte is really good. I didn't like the almond butter. It's has a really strong flavor of almond butter. Super nice coffee shop. The total was around 15 dollars.

Sorry guys, not a fan. First thing I noticed as I walked in was that the coffee shop was missing smell of coffee inside. That made sense later but for now second thing I saw were several smiling faces and extremely friendly ladies who greeted me from behind the register. Great! My first time here, I wonder how is their coffee? Ordered a latte and right as I was about to add a pastry noticed flies buzzing and crawling inside of the counter. Ehhh... pass. A girl at the register completely ignored my comment about the insects. I guess there was nothing else she could say about it really. Going back to the coffee smell though. The drink was absolutely terrible. I watched the barista put so much effort into making the drink, carefully steam milk and in art-like form pour it into the cup as I stared with anticipation, that it was going to be something truly unique. The latte tasted as if someone soaked sunflower seed shells in my cup for a day and then diluted it with water. Didn't even smell like coffee. I thought that the beans were the worst sort I've ever had. I added a star to the review for the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff but I will never come back for their coffee.

Really good quality matcha latte. It was flavorful and not too sweet. It can get pretty crowded here. There is limited outdoor seating with a few benches. Street parking can be difficult to find.

Feb 2022 Post Lunch IN SHORT: Solid coffee, quiet, and clean Will I be back? - Yes ------ Staff is very friendly and the facility is nice to wait around in, though you can't sit inside yet. I just got a regular medium drip coffee and it tasted pretty good. My friends wanted sweater ones and the staff helped out very nicely

Blue Bottle is where I go if I want a good cup of coffee, whether it's the espresso drinks or their iced coffee. Staff is solid here and now with online ordering, super fast in & out. There's also a roasting area in this location and sometimes the smell would be amazing from down the street, although I haven't really seen any staff in there since the pandemic!

I was in the area and stopped in for a quick coffee. I went with the iced sweet latte and it was good, but it was a bit too roasted tasting for my liking. I think it could have used more ice as it wasn't super cold. Overall, it was a cute place with friendly employees.

Dropped by for an early morning coffee fix. Disclaimer I am not a coffee connoisseur nor am I a coffee snob. I am not a fan of Starbucks--but I enjoy a good cup of coffee as much as anyone else. I ordered a sweet latte and I was happy and enjoyed my selection. Prices were a little steep but nothing outrageous. Varied selection of baked goods. Some seating...not very comfortable though perhaps to keep folks from just lingering around too long. Service was courteous.

I will never say no to Blue Bottle, even if it's 9pm at night. I just love their New Orleans that much. Set near Arts District, you can enjoy a nice coffee before walking to 6th street bridge (well not right now since it's under construction) for your photoshoot. Or enjoy a nice brunch. Or I dunno, go to Arts District. Anyway, my go to is New Orleans, and call me narrow minded but I have not tried anything else here. Maybe I will buy their beans one day when I'm not in crippling student debt but hey, one can dream right? Anyway, it's all street parking so good luck!

Not just a coffee shop, but a full-size roasting facility with roastery/distillery tours. How cool is it to order coffee from the place that roasts their beans in-house? I'm no expert, but I am amazed by the quality of their drinks, they're one of the best in the Arts District. Probably one of the best chains as well. Location was previously Handsome Coffee Roasters, which was acquired and absorbed into the brand. There's a good amount of seating, but the absence of WiFi and power outlets is disappointing. On the flip-side, the lack of Internet connectivity is an opportunity to unplug and connect with people, so it is a nice place to come with friends and catch up. I'm always satisfied with a caffe latte paired with a baked item. Liège wafels are especially a sweet treat, with a delicate balance of crisp and fluffiness. New Orleans with roasted chicory and cane sugar is an experience in and of itself! The tour could be a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon, but the Arts District location is just like the other shops scattered throughout LA. Just a tiny bit more special. Expect the same quality of coffee as you will find elsewhere.

The lady who was working was very friendly and the new orleans cold brew here always hit!

I love coffe so much... this brand is so delicious, taste is amezing, the smell mmmmmm lovely and I will try the instanteo coffe. Let see...

Came in on a weekday morning for some coffee. I ordered the NOLA iced coffee, and to be honest nothing special. She poured it from some big container didn't brew anything and in 1 minute it was ready. I expected her to brew something and for it to be made fresh. If you want some nesquik chocolate milk with only a hint of coffee come here. Coffee flavor was not strong whatsoever and tasted watered down. Ambiance is very busy and loud.

Blue Bottle is always great and this location is no exception. Great coffee, attentive staff, and quick service if you're picking up coffee before work!

Not really a fan of their coffee- I usually go for more flavors and being able to make more modifications this place doesn't really offer a variety of flavors
