LAMILL Coffee - Silverlake

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

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!!!

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 vibes are fun and busy, nice for people watching and to meet with friends or work on something. Also perfect location for taking a lap around the reservoir and getting a little treat. The coffee is pretty bitter. I’ve ordered a mocha and their s’mores latte (I like my coffee as milk and sugar with a hint of coffee). Felt super caffeinated and jittery halfway through my drink. Somewhere to come back to - especially if you need a strong caffeine boost.

This place is over-rated. The prices are insultingly high, even by LA standards. My latte cost $9 and it was the worst latte I've had in a while. The bare bones egg and sausage breakfast cost $20. The pictures of the breakfast show sausage LINKS but I'm pretty sure the "sausage" they gave me was actually the smash paddy from the hamburgers they serve, the eggs were unimpressively cooked, and the potatoes were so over fried that you were basically eating balls of burnt, black, fried crisp (there was no potato left of it). The portion was small too for the price. Perhaps their high prices would be understandable if the ambience was nice, but it looks roadside diner, temperature is very cold, and is very loud/echoey with foot traffic and barking dogs. I really do not know what people like about this place. I won't be inspired to come back. Again, it's the prices that are truly insulting for the low quality you get.

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.

Service is aloof, the lines are long, cleanliness could be improved. Vibe is meh. The actual coffee is solid but the overall experience here is so unpleasant now. This place has been around for a long time compared to some of the other hipster spots in LA and I’ve been coming here on and off for the last 10+ years but I will not be back any time soon. Oh and they stopped taking cash so have your digital payment at the ready.

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.

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

This is an oddly specific review, but, coffee doesn't have to be burnt to bitterness. The line was all the way out the door and down the sidewalk and took a really long time. I understand it's busy that's fine but I wrongly assumed it must mean the coffee is worth the wait. I saw they had Ethiopian coffee and was soo excited as that is one of my favorite beans. I got my coffee to go only to leave and try it to find it was incredibly bitter. So sad :(

I tried their seasonal drink, Ube Coconut Cream Matcha Latte. The Matcha flavor isn't evident (although I requested an extra scoop but I was told that they make it by batch). Ube flavor is evident though which I love! (because I love anything Ube). The staff are welcoming and the place is pretty nice and neat. Looking forward to our next visit to try out other specialty drinks as well as their coffee and the food!

Lamill is the perfect semi-upscale neighborhood coffee spot. There's something for everyone on the drink menu, as well as a bountiful pastry case. There's lots of indoor seating, as well as side patio tables. Street parking where you can find it is the name of the game here.

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!

Came here for an early morning breakfast on a Sunday and there was a line! But they were pretty quick with our to-go order which was nice. I got a latte, vegetarian breakfast burrito, almond croissant, vanilla latte, mocha, sausage breakfast sandwich. The vegetarian breakfast burrito was AMAZING! As a vegetarian breakfast burritos are a hit or miss but this was really good. The almond croissant was also incredible! My BF said it was probably that best one he has ever had and we get almond croissants almost anywhere we can so that's quite high praise. The coffees/breakfast sandwich were pretty underwhelming. Everything here is REALLY expensive so I was hoping the coffee at least would be good but unfortunately it was really watery and just not good. The sandwich was a little dry and lacking in flavor. Overall, while some of the food we got was really good, overall for the price, I would just expect a little more.

I like their coffee. I like their pastries. But DON'T expect items you order for delivery to be available. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant. It was on the menu and they accepted the order. The dasher had to inform me they only had chocolate. I canceled because I couldn't get what I ordered. Couldn't get a refund. $20 out of pocket for nothing.

Love Lamill! Such a nice space to hang out and their drinks and food are amazing. I love the matcha and the banana date cake, but you can't go wrong. The staff is always kind and quick. Highly recommend!

Ruined UBE matcha by a new guy working there who loaded half the cup with ice. Seriously disappointing and to tip someone who wasn't trained properly. ‍

The bacon cheddar chive scone was delicious!! So good and fluffy. The actual shop was also very cute and bustling. The coffee itself was...not good. Like really not good. Stopped by while I waited for my car at the mechanic and will return for scone.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Matcha girlies, this place is a skip. An iced matcha with almond milk is almost 10 bucks and it comes in a pre-mixed jug in the fridge. Immediately no. I enjoy treating myself to a matcha at a cute shop and I'll pay over 6/7 bucks but this one sadly missed the mark for me.

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.

A good place for work lunches. Good coffee and I've enjoyed everything I've tried on the menu so far. Really love the breakfast burrito and their potatoes are excellent!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 .

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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. :(
