LAMILL Coffee - Silverlake

I come here every Saturday and have tried a variety of tea, coffee, and food. They are very busy on weekends, but I love the atmosphere and food!!!

Super friendly staff. I recommend the Silver Lake vegetarian breakfast burrito. The coffee was really good too. Highly recommend this place.

Adorable cafe in Silverlake - the interior was cute with nice framed pictures on the wall, good seating, indoor and outdoor, and the service was good. There’s a free water station but the water tasted like tap water and it didn’t taste as appetizing, they have a limited gluten free menu but I tried the arugula peach salad and my friend had their nachos dish (forgot what it’s called but it’s also GF) and it was okay. The salad was good but it was a salad; not mind blowing by any means but healthy and light. It’s a typical coffee / cafe shop and fun to stop by if you’re visiting in the area!!

The coffee here is always skillfully brewed. They never disappoint. The seasonal quiche is a must. I don’t know what dressing they use on the side salad but it’s so light and zesty. I love it.

I had some time to kill before a Pilates class across the street and ordered a decaf cappuccino and butter croissant, dine in. The price was 13 dollars including tip which is a little steep but for the location, to be expected. My croissant was perfection. Flaky and golden on the outside and a nice chew on the inside. My cappuccino took a while and arrived rather cold. I enjoyed the service and music selection (music also wasn’t too loud) but the banquette seating was literally falling apart. For such a posh establishment with the prices to match, my seat shouldn’t be coming apart beneath me.

Great spot with a wide variety of breakfast and brunch options. Casual atmosphere however finding a parking spot could be challenging. Always packed on the weekend however the line moves quickly.

its a typical basic white girl place with very tacky interior. the coffee is overpriced and is not good. rule 1 - dont overheat the milk so it becomes undrinkable for the next 10 minutes. a very rookie mistake. i tried some of their pastry and those were great!

Love the vibe, coffee and pastries here, but it is PRICEY! Be prepared to pay $9.00 for a large flavored iced latte with milk substitute PLUS 7.5% surcharge (for staff wages and benefits) added on top of that! Ouch. Pastries are around $5.00 each and they are worth trying! I personally recommend blueberry pistachio pastry. They have a private free parking lot in the back as well as plenty of free street parking available. Huge outdoor patio seating area with a lot of shade. Dog friendly cafe.

The ***best*** quiche anywhere Savory with excellent thin crust. Very friendly staff

Great place for a chat and a bite. First, there is some parking in the back but it's likely full. It's more of a hassle to go into the lot and get turned around and then back out onto the street so I would recommend grabbing a two hour spot on the street. All the tables and chairs were occupied inside but it was easy to find a table outside. They all had sun protection. It seems like a place people hang out and do some laptop camping. It has a good vibe so maybe they feel it and get some good work done! The food: Chicken Ceasar Salad. $19.50. First of all, I don't even like it, but my friend does and we each picked something to split. This was her choice, and you know what? It was really good! I was afraid the chicken would be dry but it wasn't. It was moist and tasty. Thumbs up! I ordered avocado toast. $15.50. It was delicious. It was a little difficult to cut. I actually would have preferred something other than a bread knife to cut it. Still, it was excellent and so was the presentation. They really prettied it up! Big yes on the avo toast! This is a great place if you want to get a feel for the Silverlake scene. If you have a friend from out of town, this would be a place where they can get a slice of LA life. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Loved it and you will too!

Somehow this place has become our go-to spot for weekend mornings with me and my five year old. It's cute and food is pretty good, but as others have mentioned, it's incredibly expensive. I'm sure their rent isn't cheap, but the prices are crazy for what you get. The service is ... ok. All I'm saying is that if you change an arm and a leg for three slices of bacon, maybe don't forget to bring it.

The salmon toast was absolutely . So very well spiced and presented as well as super YUMMY! Got this thru UberEats, but didn't let me rate chai and toast. Chai was brown watered down nonfat.

Just got a 7 dollar iced coffee black and then a dog peed inside. I'm not sure what was worst to be honest.

The pastries? Legit. The quiche? Delicious. Coffee? It's brown go juice that tastes good. Service was friendly, team seems to work well together. Tons of seating inside with some out front as well. Banana Nutella pop tart was ridiculous.

My boyfriend and I tried the Avocado Toast and Breakfast Sandwich through Doordash, and it was one of the best Avocado Toasts and Breakfast Sandwiches I've had. The Breakfast Sandwich reminds me of a sandwich version of the Wake and Late Burrito because the potato added a perfect crunch and the eggs were fluffy. There was a perfect balance of all the ingredients. So unfortunate that the prices are high ($17 for an Avocado Toast is crazy) because otherwise this place would've gotten 5 stars from me.

LAMILL Coffee in Silver Lake is a gem. The breakfast burrito is hearty and the salsa is spot-on. Great food, good vibes--definitely worth a visit.

Starting the day with pleasant smiles, fresh aromas, positive greetings and new friendships!!

What's not to love? Great coffee and drinks , food, and ambiance. You can people watch and bring your dog. Great spot close to the house that is always working their hardest. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing and then had a cinnamon roll for dessert. So good I forgot to take my photo !

Lamill is a beloved spot for LA natives, and it's easy to see why. Their coffee, even for someone like me who's not a connoisseur, is simply fantastic. It's the perfect place to unwind after a jog around the lake. You'll find people soaking up the sunshine, reading books, and enjoying the laid-back atmosphere.

A great place to chat or do work, but definitely not the best coffee out there. My iced salted caramel latte was much too salty for my taste, and I didn't finish the drink. It was also super expensive, even relative to other LA coffee shops.

This morning my friend and I stopped to have breakfast after trying to locate the "Hidden Stairway in Silverlake". This place is amazing. Everything was so freshly prepared. We had the veggie quiche, banana walnut chia muffin and a ube coconut cream matcha. So delicious. We will definitely be back. Definitely made up after walking the stairs.

I love this place. The baked goods are incredible, chocolate pistachio croissant is amazing. You need to be prepared to publicly shame yourself to eat it because when it say that b is messy, she messy. As a self proclaimed black cold brew d-bag, I can confidently say that it is easier to make a $40 million dollar withdrawal from an English Bank on Christmas morning than it is to leave LAMILL with a cold brew in hand. I have been here over a dozen times, sometimes first thing. Too early for the cold brew to be ready. Sometimes I've shown up at 11:00am, too late. lol. This place has friendly and professional staff, amazing pastries and is exceptionally clean...but I don't like obtaining a cold brew to feel like a game of "Where's Waldo?". I will seek out an employee and bribe them to save me a cup of cold brew if that's what it takes. I will camp out the night before. I will do what it takes. Please, LAMILL, I want to love you. I am confident that with my horrible credit and pathetic income I could qualify for a 6 bed/5 bath home loan a block away from this shop before I could get the coveted liquid gold known as LAMILL cold brew. I shall not rest until this matter is resolved. No pets allowed inside (but one time I was there this mf had a CAT on his table). 4.5/5

The Poblano and cheese pastry was adored by my partner. I had the weird sounding french toast which tasted like a normal good french toast without hits of rooibos and enough cinnamon for me to not get it again. Register lady was super nice but they did get our order wrong and we had to get it right. Cool crowd. Nice inside and outside. Lots of and writers chilling as they're in strike. Pretty flours blooming. Limited parking in the back.

Lamill is a great work/study spot with comfy chairs and quick, friendly service. It's in a fun part of Silverlake and just down the street from an auto shop I had dropped my car off at, so it made for the perfect spot to hang out while I waited. Unfortunately, pricing here is sooo expensive, even compared to other spots in Silverlake/Echo Park area. It was almost $12 for a black tea and pastry - the pastries are super tiny as well. I also was never told that there was a service charge added, which would have influenced my tip, so that was another $1 needlessly added on.

Just ok! The line was long and I didn't get the hype but in a cute area that's up and coming. Also when we went there were a bunch of bees flying around it was scary. The scrambled eggs and lattes weren't anything to go crazy about

Came for a quick bite and study session after a run around the reservoir. It was a short and pleasant walk. Almond croissant was amazing and was incredibly flaky and balanced. Latte was also excellent. Inside is a wait service and you get a number and choose your own seat. Couldn't figure out the WiFi situation but there are other outlets inside. Also an abundance of outdoor seating.

Lamill has new menu items you must try! Today, we tried the Adobo Fried Rice and the Ancient Grains Salad; both were delicious! I got the Roasted Pablano and Oaxaca cheese croissant to go; also delicious. They have new breakfast items that I would like to try, but they start serving breakfast at 11:30 am so get there early. Service is good as usual. Ambiance is always bright and beautiful. They have outside seating, which is a plus. Will have to come back to try more new menu items especially the breakfast items.

This café is a fantastic spot for getting work done, whether you prefer sitting indoors or outside. Their menu offers a delightful selection of drinks, including turmeric and matcha lattes that cater to various tastes. I couldn't resist trying their pumpkin scone, which, although on the smaller side, was a delightful treat. With a variety of pastries and a cozy atmosphere, it's a great place to settle in and be productive

This is my favorite place to have a lunch meeting. Great outdoor space, coffee and food !

Coffee makes me user friendly. Lol. With that said let's begin this new cafe review. LAMILL Coffee is a modern full-service café that serve great coffee and tea. As well as fresh pastries, donuts and breakfast/lunch. They're located in the trendy area of Silverlake along Silverlake boulevard. Their eclectic interior decor and layout were modern and spaciously well conceived. The large leather colorful lounge chairs makes this cafe imbues a classy restaurant. Atmosphere was quite relaxing. Moreover, their splendid menus make this cafe a favorite hangout destination among locals. And their outdoor street patio has good view of Silverlake boulevard. I came here on a rainy Thursday morning (12/29) to grab a hot drink. I was perfunctorily greeted by a male barista. I perused their menu and ordered a Valrhona Mocha - a dark hot chocolate mix with milk and double shot of espresso topped with foam. It was delightful and perfect way to treat yourself on a rainy day. Staff was cordial and professional. Service was bloody excellent. Prices were fair and match the quality. Plenty of street parking. Overall, I highly enjoyed my hot drink and service. I recommend this cafe.

This place deserves every single star. To me, it operated like a full service restaurant once we found our seats. The people who took our orders, brought us our food, checked on us, and cleared our table were wildly warm and genuinely nice. As a service s*ut, I fell in love. I met a friend here to just relax and chit chat. Our drinks were perfectly made and our quiche and salad orders were divine. I purchased coffee beans that they ground for me-espresso grade. The coffee tastes like enchanted chocolate with whispers of charity and thick and lusty rhododendron honey. Parking: It may be a bit challenging. We found parking along the street in front of the shop.

The salad was good but it was a salad; not mind blowing by any means but healthy and light. It's a typical coffee / cafe shop and fun to stop by if you're visiting in the area!!

I am truly baffled by why this place only has 3.5 stars on yelp. The ambience is fantastic, the cashier was friendly, the coffee was great. It's no skin off my back anyway since I'll be returning and that means more room for me .

Five stars for the coconut ube matcha latte. Not too sweet, perfect blend of flavors and it's refreshing. I'd drink it everyday if I could!

Love the service food and ambiance! They're a great parking lot too. I especially enjoy the coffee and pastries.

The quiche is AMAZING!! The salad is a perfect touch. Their mocha cappuccino is delicious as well. One of my favorite breakfast spots

Lamill Coffee is an old favorite of mine. I've always been a fan of their coffee, their pastries, and their menu in general. So, I was excited to make a return visit after several years to try what was new. Parking is still not terrible. Often I've parked in the street, but if you're lucky, you might be able to snag a spot in the back parking lot. For lunch, I got the Italian sandwich, which was so good and I really loved the inclusion of giardiniera. I also got a really delicious coffee as well! It was just as I remember it. Still a must-visit place if you're in Silver Lake!

A bit pricey but consistently friendly service and good food every time I've been (which is about 5-6 times over the last few months). I've had the avocado toast, the burger, coffee, pop tart, croissant, and probably more that I can't remember. Parking can be difficult in the small lot they have, though I've been able to find a spot more often than not. There is also street parking available, and you can usually find a spot out there. They have ample seating inside, though sometimes it can get a little noisy and crowded so I prefer to sit outside if the weather allows. The outdoor seating is to the side of the establishment and spills into their small parking lot. A lot of it is shaded so that's a bonus as well during warmer days. I appreciate the service, the spaciousness, and the consistency. I've already been here multiple times, so obviously would return. Give it a try!

I haven't been there in person, so I can't speak to that. But regarding their delivery capabilities- they will basically pack up to deliver you whatever they feel like in the moment. I ordered off doordash a few weeks ago and they shorted me a pastry. Eh, fine. I didn't even go through the effort to get it refunded. I decided to give them another shot today, and this time was even worse. They left out 3 items, and somehow gave me 1 random ones that I didn't order. No chips with the sandwich. It was a disaster. This wasn't a case of a wrong order, but clearly a "he'll take what is left over and we won't refund what is out of stock." They actually staple the delivery bags closed quite well, so neither instance was the driver. They've officially lost my business.

Great study or work spot with good bites and coffee. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I had the seasonal quiche and it was amazing.

As a Yelp Elite and a dedicated food enthusiast and an ex-food columnist, I've been around the block a time or two. A decade ago, I had the pleasure of introducing many of my readers to LAMill's unparalleled coffee right here in Silver Lake. The memory is as aromatic and delightful as their brews. Revisiting LAMill after all these years was like meeting an old friend; comforting, familiar, and just as exciting. It's truly a testament to their consistent excellence that they remain firmly among my top 10 LA coffee/café/roasteries. - A fun fact: My initial pilgrimage to this coffee haven was inspired by the words of my idol, Jonathan Gold. And, of course, when a Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic points you in a direction, you follow. - What strikes me is their evolution. They've moved beyond just a coffee shop in Silver Lake. Capsule coffee, a bustling roastery, and organic imported tea (thanks to their family roots in the tea trade) have broadened their horizons. They've even stamped their mark in OC's Anaheim and LAX. - Returning to their Silver Lake establishment, the dishes were a nostalgic melody of flavors, and the coffee? Oh, as heartwarming as ever! Craig Min, the owner, once said that tasting different coffees should be akin to savoring fine wines, sans the regrettable morning-after photos. This philosophy shines brightly in every cup they serve. - It's not just about the beans, though. Talking to their baristas, it's clear their secret ingredient is hospitality. Everything, from the water they use (meticulously filtered, by the way) to ensuring every daily brew and pastry meets their high standards, speaks volumes about their commitment to quality. I particularly adored the Ethiopia Wush Wush on my last visit - a fragrant adventure with notes of raspberry, cherry, and a hint of floral grace. - Recommendations: Drinks: Dive into their Cold Brew & Pour Over. Brunch: Go for their Salads, Avocado Toast, Quiche, Sandwiches, and don't forget to indulge in the pastry.

The coffee is normal, nothing good or bad to say about it. But discovered that they automatically charge a 5% "employee surcharge" on whatever you order, whether you sit in or take your order to go. Then they have the system that asks you for a tip when you pay, and then they have a physical tip jar right next to that as well. While they're at it why don't they just charge a cup fee, ice fee, straw fee, sleeve fee, napkin fee, and what the hell a water fee as well? Just simply raise your menu prices 5% instead of making up BS reasons.

A very aesthetically pleasing place that serves good coffee. Everything is a bit over priced though, so I would think twice before going here again.

Oh Lamill, how I used to love you completely. They used to have superb coffee and they changed the beans ( translation: buying cheaper ones) and their coffee tastes over-roasted and burnt like Starbucks. It pains me to say their coffee is not worth the price. :(

Such a nice atmosphere. We were lucky enough to find parking in the back. - good coffee! - really interesting pastries / breakfast. Nice little L.A. coffee shop.

Great coffee shop, but if you're in the mood for a full meal they provide some solid options. Try the chicken Caesar salad - fresh & delicious! PS - there's a parking lot in the back

Lamill has either been hit or miss with my orders. Either the food is REALLY GOOD or it's pretty disappointing at its price point. This coffee shop has an adorable interior and dog friendly outdoor area! Very cute brunch date spot for sure. The coffee was a little to acidic and sour for me, I would save the $7 next time and get coffee elsewhere. But the pastries are always on point! The cinnamon roll, monkey bread, and coffee cake were lovely and the hokkaido french toast is always a sweet fluffy treat. The Lamill breakfast was a little to basic to warrant the $18 price tag. I would come back for the breakfast sandwich because who doesn't love fluffy scrambled eggs on brioche??

- Locale Destination - It's on Silver Lake Blvd and Effie St in Silver Lake. Ambiance: Simple, modern. Lots of seating outside. Menu: Coffee, tea, pastries, some American food. Service: They don't know much about their products. Parking: parking behind the building, street parking - Gluttony Expedition - Cappuccino: coffee is smooth, light/medium body with a touch of acidity. I prefer creamier and heavier coffee than this. Froth milk quality isn't good because of barista. I asked her some questions about their products but she didn't even understand my coffee questions. When I saw my drink, I could tell the quality wasn't there. But the decaf looked better than mine - barista makes big difference. It's a fact. Very disappointed. Decaf latte: very light, smooth. Almost too light. Japanese iced coffee: it's supposed to be stronger in Japanese style. The coffee was bolder, puncher, stronger & more bitter ground coffee taste. If you like something stronger, you might like it. Mushroom omelette: overcooked, a bit under seasoning. Food pics looked great, but this was meh. Ricotta cake: this was really good though it was a bit sweeter side. - Conqueror's Deduction - My buddy said it used to be better. Pasty is good, coffee isn't something I wanna come back for. Quality of froth milk is one of the most important things for me when it comes to coffee/cappuccino.

Don't come here. Overpriced and terrible parking. The coffee is average, and the price is insane. An iced coffee runs about 7 dollars here and it's flavored with just empty words. They also charge 7.5 percent for an employee surcharge on every order. In terms of studying, there are a lot of tables but it's filled with people so I am not sure how you will get much work done or find a seat on a busy day.

Negatives: 1. $7 for honestly pretty terrible cold brew. Pricey for at best mediocre coffee 2. 7.5% extra charge for "employee benefits" 3. Bad parking Positives: 1. Looks like all LA models hangout here

Saturday morning coffee done right! We tried their Japanase Iced Coffee and Kyoto Style Drip coffee, both are so refreshing! They are quite unique, if you're a cold brew fan or love iced coffee gives them both a try. The Japanese Iced coffee is lighter but also has a smoky after taste while Kyoto Style Drip (iced) is a little more fruity. They have a wide range of lovely pastries selection, we went for their croissant bread pudding with lots of fresh berries on top! The pudding is very lovely, I can taste vanilla, and caramelised crust, topped with fresh berries... what more can I ask for? They have some parking at the back, but there is also more street parking in the area. Great service, clean bathroom, I love their chill outdoor patio. A perfect spot to grab a coffee and read a book! I'm coming back for more pastries!

Great food and service. Parking is street parking so at brunch and weekends it can get BUSY. But partly because the food is great. Also, the setting / inside is lovey. A great spot with good coffee.

The chai latte wasn't as sweet as I was used to so I asked the girl if I could throw some honey in it and she made me a completely new one. Very kind of her. They even turned the music down a tad because I wanted to read. Very appreciative of the nice staff!

Early morning open, good parking. Love all unique combinations of pastries. Good coffee, good food.mice fruendly staff

Sorry to say but this coffee shop has left a poor taste in my mouth. This review has nothing to do with the coffee but rather the customer service. There was a homeless gentleman in front of me and he asked for water and food and the barista refused service. I felt bad couldn't they offer him even a cup of water? As I ordered I asked what he needed and the barista told me he comes in everyday to ask for water and food but they refuse. I got him a drink and was surprised at the lack of empathy from the staff. What happened to serving our community? This is a gentrified neighborhood the least they could do is serve water to everyone. So sad to say but I won't be coming back....

So I went again to LAMILL Coffee with my friend Bernhard (he's leaving town in a few days and wanted to taste again their awesome dishes) after doing a photoshoot from 6am to 11:30am because I was craving for a yummy, delicious late breakfast. And guess what... yes it was again so good!! We both had the Avocado Toast with a fried egg sleeping on top. Let me tell you... that was so tasty, both of us were so happy. The combination of the avocado, the dressing, the radish, oh and the bread... so good. All this with a latte and a almond croissant to finish it in a bliss of happiness. And don't forget about the guy behind the counter, Blake with his awesome attitude and super welcoming smile. He knows his stuff and can guide you into a so appetizing description of the pastries YUMMY!!! Well see you guys next time!

Yummmm. Their pastries are all incredible and they make a mean coffee. Their seasonal matcha ube drink is to die for! 10/10 recommend.
