Choose between their two different pour-overs each day and snag a chocolate chip cookie while you’re there. In fact, get any pastry that’s available, because they are all delicious." - Onyx

"With four L.A. locations, you can count on this reliable coffee shop to be nearby no matter where you are. It's a very popular spot for work and study, which means they're used to having laptops—they also play a work-friendly soundtrack. Some locations have larger food menus than others, so make sure to check the website if you're hoping to stick around for lunch. In the coffee department, Coffee Commissary brings in a different guest roaster every few weeks, which mixes things up a bit. There are also locations in Burbank, Hollywood, and Culver City."

The coffee might be good but the staff is just not happy to be working here. The barista didn't even attempt to pour the milk he just dropped the espresso onto the milk with the most dissatisfying face to be working here. I do not wish to come back to a place where the staff is miserable and overworked.

A nice place with solid seating and atmosphere. This is legit one of the better drips I've had in the city... But $4 for a small drip hurts a bit not gonna lie.

I really like this space. I like that it's a bit tucked away with lots of table space. The staff was very friendly and talked us through getting the perfect coffee. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed the coffee here.

Fantastic spot. The morning bun and espresso tonic I got were A+. The bun was gloriously crispy on the outside and beautifully tender on the inside, and both the dough and sugar mixture were unusually flavorful. The espresso was also exceptionally tasty and well balanced. Neither was overwhelmingly sweet: the characteristic flavors were on top and supported rather than hidden by sweetness.

My favorite place for coffee. The beans they have there are rare and amazing. I usually get a pound of a mild roasted bean ground to espresso dust. It works well in my espresso machine. Their beans yield a coffee shop taste at home. Don't sleep on their food either. Everything is on point.

Super friendly staff & great environment! I got an iced chai tea latte and it is really good. It’s about half as sweet as that of starbucks and a bit more spicy. They were quick and has a cute outdoor seating area.

Pretty good stuff, didn't except that. The vegetarian Burrito was bomb, truly (and we are not even vegetarians)! The coffee was good, though was not freshly brewed (I ordered a simple black coffee), the.Mocha was better. We enjoyed our time here!! Would come again!

Nice spot with indoor and lots of outdoor seating. This place isn't as busy as other coffee places I've been to. Even during coffee rush hour there were seats available. Plenty of outlets however the internet was ok -- tested 5mb down and 2mb up.

Such good coffee and great staff as well! Food truck is great when it's there as well.

Came here Saturday morning and saw breakfast food truck right outside, part of Coffee Commissary. Their drinks and pastries are a tad overpriced but otherwise, solid spot. They have some interesting options on the menu such as orange creamsicle drink. The place is kept clean and several seats, reminiscent of an old school classroom with those chairs.

Mary N.

Yelp

Great breakfast burritos from the food truck outside. The food truck is only around on certain days so just be mindful of that. I got the veggie burrito which had super crispy potatoes and slightly runny sunny side up eggs. Super good & great with a side of hot sauce.

Craig W.

Yelp

Good coffee, good baked goods. My iced Americano was nice and the onion scone was wonderfully soft and fresh. The patio seating is lovely except you have to listen to the traffic noise. It is what it is. Parking is still rough but the street and neighborhood parking seems to turnover fairly quickly.

Nora G.

Yelp

The campfire latte is a MUST TRY! Baristas were super kind, beautiful seating area, calm and pleasant day!

Mich W.

Yelp

This place looked good online however it was a bit lackluster for me. I got a simple iced vanilla latte which came out to be sickly sweet, tasting strongly of syrupy sweetness. For the price it should've been the best coffee. Minimal seating indoors but there have a decent patio with seating on the street, however it was extremely busy and slightly difficult to get a table around 11 am. There's residential parking around the area if you're okay with walking a block or two. Wouldn't really come back here for a coffee.

Judy T.

Cute place to grab a beverage or a snack. We all just had drinks today. All good. The service was lovely. It's a nice roomy place with a sweet chill patio. I loved my matcha latte made with care and quite the barista flair!

Peggy D.

Great coffee. Great people. If the truck is open, grab a delicious breakfast sandwich.

LA is packed with coffee shops, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. When I visited around noon, the line was quite long, giving me an idea of how busy it must be earlier in the day. Despite that, the service was quick, and the coffee was excellent.

The Angeleno Breakfast burrito in their little pink food truck rivals Cofax as the best breakfast burrito in the area. Don't sleep on it.

Todd G.

Yelp

This is a must-stop whenever I am in the area. Their cubano is sublime. (I prefer it hot over cold.) They've got a nice selection of bakery items, including a few revolving items which often prove quite pleasing. Nice vibe, pleasant feel, great staff. And a nice shaded seating area out front. There's usually plenty of space to sit there unless the Commissary Truck is out front. Then it's packed. Street parking, so sometimes timing is everything.

Kateryna S.

Yelp

The only coffee in Los Angeles I like! Also great stuff! Always clean. I wish they would have the delivery.

Kristi T.

Yelp

I actually had such a good drink from here (it was a special it seems--the mint julep). Would buy again, 100%. And it makes me hopeful for their regular drinks. Especially since a ton of people were here grabbing coffee as well. That's promising. The avo toast I had was just ok, it was way more arugula than avo in my opinion haha. And not that that's bad, but I've just had better avocado toast at other places. Still a solid spot. A good chunk of seating options and great parking availability too! The workers were also very nice. It was a beautiful day when I went.

Nicole D.

Yelp

Coffee Commissary's decor is such a vibe, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place as a study or chill spot unless you bring your noise-cancelling headphones. They were playing what sounded like video game instrumentals a little too loud to hold conversations comfortably. I ordered a steamed oatmilk earl grey tea with honey, and they delivered with relatively quick service. The tea itself was good, though it tasted more like an English blend and wasn't as hot as I would typically like. I didn't bother asking why the difference, but the tea was yummy.

Esha J.

Yelp

Finished my drink in less than a minute and I was thrown off. Realized it was cause then literally just poured a green syrup into oat milk and called it a matcha. Could not even taste the matcha.

Petrina K.

Yelp

This is a pretty cute coffee shop with a nice atmosphere, there are a few tables to sit inside and a nice outdoor patio area with seating as well. There is only street parking but it wasn't that hard to find on a Saturday morning. I got the matcha latte with oat milk which was $7, and honestly it was one of the most mediocre matchas I've had in a while. It tasted very watered down and felt very overpriced for the drink, which was a bit disappointing after reading many good reviews about it. But maybe I just have a really particular preference when it comes to matcha. My friend got the vanilla bean frozen latte which was also $7, but was definitely more worth it in my opinion. Her drink was really creamy and delicious. Perhaps Coffee Commissary is more renowned for their coffee!

Niree S.

Yelp

I've heard a lot about Coffee Commissary and I was excited to try it out. There seasonal lavender iota latte looked very appealing so I ordered it along with the vanilla iced latte and I was impressed! The drink was perfectly smooth, the coffee didn't taste bitter and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet either. The coffee shop itself has a theme of pops of hot pink which I loved! They also sell some goodies in a case and accessories like mugs and shirts. I would definitely come back if this place was closer to my house! Please come to Pasadena!

O D.

Yelp

Came in need of an afternoon pick-me-up Got the iced cubano frozen drink I'm sure I butchered the name but it's like a Frappuccino at the other place... It was perfect Only issue was the two girls in front of me who were taking forever to figure out what they wanted... It felt like they were taking a test or really enjoying their experience Either way- would go back as long as those two aren't already in line....

- Locale Destination - It's on N Fairfax Ave and Waring Ave in Fairfax, West Hollywood. Across street from Blue Bottle. It's sorta hard to see from the street. They have a small outside seating area share with some sort of Japanese place next to it. Menu: Simple coffee menu, pastries Service: quick Parking: behind the building (supposedly), street meter, street meter within a block - Gluttony Expedition - Cappuccino: Very creamy, smooth, a bit light in body but mild coffee flavor. It's hard to find the creamy coffee like this - besides "BlueBottle". Great! Latte: Very creamy, milk forward, and almost lost touch of coffee flavor. I'm not a fan. - Conqueror's Deduction - Slightly lighter version of blue bottle coffee. Great cappuccino! *** Coffee Ranking *** Updated 3/28/22. Cappuccino w whole milk 1. Gnarwhal coffee co 2. Bluebottle 3. Coffee Memes 4. Cognoscenti coffee

blended matcha with oat milk is soooo fire if u don't like how the starbucks matcha is too sweet this is the drink for u! it's not too sweet but also earthy like matcha! it doesn't taste anything like ceremonial grade matcha if ur a matcha enthusiast but still a good drink.

Valentina C.

Yelp

My vibe was totally killed by one of the baristas here, i'm not exaggerating when I say it was the most laughably straight up mean & rude service i've ever received .. anywhere. I made my order & was greeted with an almost spiteful attitude.. I didn't do anything to deserve that treatment I was polite & just wanted some coffee, I was thinking about the interaction for like an hour afterwards lol .. :/

Courtney S.

Yelp

The staff here are really nice. Cute little coffee shop, sometimes it's pretty busy and hard to find a place to sit though. I love their chai.

Shirley W.

Yelp

Loved the aesthetics of the cup and everything! I really liked the hot pink straw that goes with their design too. There seems to be their own food truck right outside of the coffee shop, so make sure to check that out too! It doesn't seem too busy, so I guess that's a good sign that you can easily just grab and go your food items too. I ordered today's special of the month, which is their Lavender Latte! I don't often get floral drinks, but that just sounded pretty good that day, so I was curious to try. When I took my first sip, it was almost a bit overwhelmingly floral? It was nice at first, but as you drink it, it just tastes pretty sweet. I also wished they put more ice in the drink cause my drink easily got lukewarm after a 10 minute walk. Also, my bf ordered a "premium cold brew". I asked him if it tasted more "premium", he said it just tasted like regular cold brew tbh lol. Overall, it seems like the drinks were just okay? The aesthetics were pretty nice and appealing, but the drinks are not too much to fancy over. This place also turns up their music, so it's not really an ideal place to do work and study here, unless you bring your own headphones and such.

Josh T.

I came here specifically to buy a chocolate chip cookie because the cravings were real and I ended up buying a latte as well. Overall I was pretty pleased. Coffee shop is located on the 6th floor of the Beverly Center and right outside the ordering area there are plenty of tables and you can get a nice view of Beverly Hills. The shop is super cute. It's pink themed. My cookie was warmed up and tasted delicious. It was also quite big. I cut it in half and the chocolate was soft and melty. Also very pleased with the latte I ordered, it paired well with the cookie I got. I'd come back for sure when I'm at the mall again.

Regine Anne L.

Yelp

I ordered Hazelnut Latte and it's just the right amount of sweetness that I like. Only 4 stars because they forgot my order, but I understand and it's ok because there were a rush of people who ordered and I think they just forgot about me.. because I went to hangout with my friends on the side. They promptly made my drink after I asked them for it. So it's all good in the hood! Lol There were tables and chairs on the side and people were working on their laptops, and also an outside patio. Free parking in the backlot of the building

Bill S.

Yelp

Was very fortunate to come across such a public gem. A very relaxing and mellow cafe/coffee shop. With such a dope mobile food truck on the outside to deliver such an amazing breakfast. Not to many people there, believe it or not. Highly recommend to make this your local stop before getting the day started.

Sam A.

Yelp

It's okay. Sorta small and not really a place to work or study. Good for catching up with friends if you're in the area. Food and drinks are just okay in relation to the prices you pay. Service is decent, nothing much to say about that.

Wendy L.

Yelp

Coffee Commissary is located in the Beverly Center on the 6th Floor. I was in the area one morning with another person and we made our way to this small shop at the mall. We ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Morning Buns, and a regular hot Coffee (I don't remember the flavor she got). Their iced vanilla latte was smooth and perfect for a summer morning. I had the chocolate chip cookie and it was one of the best cookies I had in a while. My favorite was the shared dining space with the large window. It overlooks the street below and the Sofitel across the street. Overall, I enjoyed my time in LA having an iced coffee with a lovely view of the mountains (and the hotel, lol).

Alessandra A.

Yelp

Just tried their iced cubano and wow. I am very impressed. I consider myself an avid coffee drinker and I have tried plenty of spots around the area and I can honestly say, this was definitely up there based on the iced cubano alone. Can't wait to try others. This place is worth a second visit or more, absolutely!

Zaid D.

Yelp

Commissary did not disappoint! I held my craving for coffee over an hour drive to LA. I found Coffee Commissary on Yelp, and saw the 700+ reviews so had to come out and try it. I ordered an Iced Cubano ($5.50). I normally order my coffee with Breve, but decided to go with whole milk for the Cubano. It had a similar taste to a Spanish Latte. They have their food truck outside as well. I ordered their breakfast burrito ($12). Everything was all reasonably priced. You can't go wrong with the coffee nor food

Seven G.

Okay this pains me to drop the star rating this low.. But I have an urgent Commissary food truck update. It turns out the one 'vegan' dish on menu isn't really. I ate the avocado toast a couple of days again (having been told it can be made vegan with oil instead of butter) and I'm now v annoyed to discover their (tasty) homemade boule bread ISN'T actually vegan - it has eggs in it. So there are 0 vegan options on a very full menu of meat/eggs etc. This is the second restaurant that has miss-sold me a vegan dish in the 3 days of January - a month I'm supposed to be 100% plant based for. It's lucky I'm doing this for eco/ethical/ issues- not food intolerances. This is LA - restaurant owners it's not OK to it feed vegans & to tell us something is plant-based- for your convenience/profit- when it actually isn't. PS the coffee is 5 star and I'm hoping this updated review will lead to a rethink & proper vegan options ASAP!!

Emma G.

Yelp

Cute little place that I stopped by today. Love the aesthetic and vibe! They have a good amount of seating which I appreciate. I got an iced chai with oat milk and their banana loaf. The chai was good, I wouldn't say super memorable, but I liked the balance of sweet and spice. The banana loaf was very good! I can tell they don't add a ton of sugar and keep it simple which makes for a great snack in my opinion. I'd be back if I'm around the area.

Matthew C.

Yelp

Good coffee, hip but occasionally "too cool for skool" staff, great baked goods. Solid community hub with good working tables, outlets, wifi, bathroom. Spacious. CC branded food truck out front with solid yupscale fair. I also like that they dropped their masks and non-sense as soon as possible despite being in the middle of one of the most "woke" areas in the country. It goes to show that EVERYONE loves freedom and we can all make our own decisions. We need more leadership from businesses and customers and less from out of touch government.

Nancy G.

Yelp

New location for me. The coffee is always amazing at every location. That's what keeps me coming back and checking out different locations. Its hard to find an establishment that gets it right at all their locations. I get my usual iced vanilla latte with whole milk and easy ice. Always so refreshing. The espresso shaken with their secret vanilla syrup is amazing. I think the fact that they shake their drinks helps really blend all the flavors so your first sip isn't straight vanilla. Parking is a bit difficult, but with patience something usually comes up or you can always park up the street and take a stroll. They have a small outdoor patio area where you can chill or get some work done.

Donna S.

Yelp

I love Coffee Commissary. Some of the best coffee in LA. I always grab an iced Cubano. I highly recommend it if you need some major caffeine but you also like sweet + cinnamon. The Melrose/Fairfax location is awesome. Lots of outdoor space to sit, and there's a cute Commissary food truck parked outside (it's pink!). Baristas are very nice. Parking is available in the structure behind the shop and there's also street parking.

Peter L.

Yelp

The staff is always really nice here. I typically only go for coffee so I'm not sure about the food, but coffee and tea is always great. And lots of great places to sit inside and out.

Isabel B.

Yelp

Coffee Commissary is a chain of coffee shops located in the LA area. I've had their coffee from multiple locations and to be quite honest, its not the most consistent. I muse say the Fairfax location is definitely one of the better ones. I've realized that the quality differs depending on where you are and I enjoy this location the most. As usual -- I always for for my latte w/regular milk and i would rate it a solid 7/10. LA is a hot spot for coffee shops and its difficult market to compete in but I guess if you are not the most critical coffee fanatic, anything would work. However, if you are truly in it for the taste and quality of the beans, you would 100% care where you put your money, which is how I judge the quality of what I am drinking. However, if you're comparing this to a Starbucks or Coffee Bean -- this would be an obvious step-up and you will definitely enjoy!

Got a drip coffee with oatmilk and it was really good... noteworthy actually! I never feel this way about a drip coffee. Also love that there's a taco truck outside with all the breakfast burritos/crunchwraps/tacos!!! So good. The fresh OJ hits and Great ambiance. Service is friendly

Carolina M.

Yelp

Tbh, I was expecting way more of Commissary since I hear the name a lot. Coffee: my bf and I had the same oat milk latte and it was average. Not amazing, not bad. Vegan banana bread: taste is good but they only serve it cold. Staff: ok, it was a Sunday afternoon. I get it that might not be the best day to be working, but if you are, please at least pretend you like what you do. Not even a smile or "how are you" was asked.

coffee tasted good. the service sucked. such attitude from the person that took my order, and for no good reason. immediate bad vibes when i approached the counter! yikes. ambiance was cute, lots of people on their laptops and chillin. the service overshadowed the quality of the coffee and vibes though- the chick at the counter was super rude, the epitome of what's wrong with LA.

Darlene D.

Yelp

My husband and I are always on the hunt for new coffee spots. Yes, it's an addiction. What can I say? We love coffee! We were out and about on Fairfax and decided to stop by. I got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. It's so delicious! I highly recommend it! They had some nibbles and seating. I loved the pink decor!

Skander Y.

Have gone here a few times. Drinks are just OK. The Americanos taste bad. Service is just OK as well, not the most upbeat staff/environment. Would recommend going elsewhere.
