Verve Coffee Roasters

Terrific pastries and rich chai lattes! I came here after walking past many times and boy was I happily surprised. The vibe here is very much social with the outdoor space being a bit more relaxed. The staff is very kind and attentive. The drinks and food are averagely priced, but the quality is absolutely great. Definitely plan to visit this shop again!

Friendly service and outstanding drinks! I loved the matcha latte, simple but solid flavor. The chocolate croissant was fresh and tasty. Love it!

Exceptional espresso pulled from a custom Kees van der Westen double-Spirit machine. What more could you ask for? The espresso style is quite modern - fruity, high acid, but not sour. And they have a great selection of beans on offer too!

Amazing service and great vibes Love the caffè mocha

Very nice place to sit and study/talk over coffee. Good natural light and good music. Didn’t try any coffee but based on the involuntary eavesdropping I did, it seems to be very good. There’s also very cute outdoor seating but is underneath some trees so seems like it could get dusty with falling leaves & whatnot. No complaints.

Excellent vegan options. I’d say about 1/3 of the Foods on the menu are vegan friendly. Many tasty gluten-free and vegan sweets such as the delicious cinnamon coffee cake. Lots of fresh tea options and not a huge dent in the pocket. I can get used to this place. If you’re looking for a spot to post up and do some work with WiFi, there are quite a few people doing that so you won’t feel out of place. There are a decent amount of power outlets, but not many. All of the outlets are against the wall with bar seating facing the wall so you’ll be a little isolated from people viewing while working.

Tried a draft brew for the first time, and it was so good! Tons of options for different types of brewed coffee and vegan snacks. There was a fair amount of seating indoors and outdoors.

This place is exceptional! Service. Quality. Freshness. People. Location. Price point. I could keep going. Hands down an absolutely incredible space with incredible coffee & pastries (food too I just did it get any). Bravo. Can’t wait to visit again.

Could be the best coffee spot to hang out or work in Weho. I just wish they had gluten free bread. Still a 5 star.

Was so excited that Verve had reopened. I remember a few years ago this was such a hip, cool place to have coffee. I have a friend visiting from New York and he wanted to try it and as it was open we gave it a go. It still looks the same; it's bright and airy and a great place for working on your laptop. Fun people watching as it's the nice part of Melrose in WeHo, near Maxfield's. I had a few disappointments today, though. It was about 4 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and when I ordered an almond croissant and a muffin, they said they could not heat anything up. They also had a very limited menu as it was the afternoon. So no mascarpone toast or sandwiches. 2 iced teas and 2 baked goods with tip was over $20. I'm not complaining, but I almost would've rather gone to a nearby commercial chain where they could heat up my pastry for me. All the drinks came in sippy cups. The following isn't the restaurant's fault. They have a nice free water dispenser at the end of the counter, and a man came in and washed his hands in the water dispenser, then splashed water all over the counter trying to shake the water off his hands. That sort of grossed me out. Bad manners! But again that's not Verve's fault. Maybe I'm being picky or maybe they just aren't up to speed yet but no option to heat the baked goods was just so odd to me. At the very least I would expect a really nice coffee place like this to be able to heat up a muffin. I know in France you are not supposed to reheat a croissant. It's a faux pas. But I like them warm. The employee at the checkout said that "it's ok they taste good cold". It's still better warm. I must say that the quality of the baked goods are excellent. Super cute patio and a nice buzz of people. There is a lot of metered parking up and down the surrounding streets. Check the signs carefully because sometimes on days like Thursdays, you're not allowed to park or some of them are loading zones during some parts of the day.

Delicious latte with coconut milk. The building is stunning, I'd come here all the time if I lived in LA!!

A very positive atmosphere, vibe, and really good pastries and drinks. I have been to the Melrose (recently remodeled) and 3rd street locations.

I've been here a few times already and it never fails. The space is nicely designed and great for coffee and snack. The pasteries are fresh and fluffy. The croissants are fresh and crunchy as I like them and the coffee/tea is made very well. I love that they serve the coffee with the top off to showcase the milk art the barista creates. Wait is normally short and doable even if your in a rush. I would recommend trying it out if your in the area.

I got food poisoning at Verve and wondered why until I saw the black mold underneath the countertop, disgusting!! It's a miracle this place ever passed a health inspection...

TLDR; Gorgeous cafe with beautiful indoor and outdoor space, variety of parking options, and great menu. This is the perfect place to get some remote work done or catch up with a friend. The staff here is super friendly and nice as well, which always adds to the vibe of the coffeeshop. There are solid food items on the menu as well, such as a selection of fresh pastries and breakfast items. The indoor seating area is filled with light, as the entire shop is made of ample glass. You can also walk outside to the back patio, where there are tables and cushions you can sit at. There is metered parking all around the street, but you can also park in the residential Bev Hills neighborhood if you don't mind a little walking.

Coffee is always top notch and service team is super sweet, always a West Hollywood favorite! The seating area indoors is stylish and comfortable, great for networking if you're feeling up to it.

A great spot to catch up with friends. Matcha latte is excellent as are their baked goods. It can be hard to find a seat.

I ordered some sort of iced pumpkin drink. The menu said it was supposed to have a bunch of stuff in it. When I got it, it tasted of nothing really. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't taste of pumpkin at all. The vibes are great, so if you're looking for cute, I guess this is the place to go.

Verve has plentiful outdoor patio and indoor seating, and is a good place to study with solid drinks and a relaxing ambience. The staff make drinks very quickly, and they have plenty of food options as well. Note that there are no outlets available inside the cafe. Parking is mainly metered street parking, and it can be difficult to find a spot when it's busy. Of all the drinks I tried, the best one was the Missile Coffee -- it was smooth, creamy, and overall delicious. It combines iced coffee with housemade syrup and cream for a satisfying cup. However, the matcha had a bit of a strange aftertaste, so I would probably skip that one.

I got the lavender honey latte and my friend got the peppermint mocha, both tasted great! (not too sweet) I didn't stay for long, but the cafe interior seemed like a nice place to study. Prices for select drinks seemed a bit steep but mine was ok - maybe I'll try the food next time. I was lucky and got one of the actual parking spots, but otherwise mostly street parking.

This place is a fair mix of good and bad. After my experience I'll definitely return but hope that things improve. The good: Service was great from everyone I interacted with. The vibe is fantastic, so many seating options from cushions and tables on the stairs, an outdoor deck to people watch, outdoor patio and indoor seating. The fair: My drink was okay, I ordered a hot mocha and it was just a basic mocha. I don't feel like the menu showcases any unique drinks to this place unless I missed it or there was some special menu not visible. I wouldn't mind getting a coffee here again. The bad: The bathroom was absolutely filthy. Overflowing trash, floor wet with who knows what, dirty toilet, soap dispenser barely working - it was in desperate need of attention. And the music was absurdly loud both inside AND outside. I don't understand why the outside speakers need to be blaring on top of the vehicle and foot traffic. Indoors you can barely hear each other speak.

The vibe: The height of pretension colliding with the privilege of unbridled curiosity and the placid energy that effuses from the security of never having ever been concerned about paying a bill on time...or at all. I belong here. In general: You get the usual great coffee and service that one would expect from Verve.

Seasonal Toast: **** If I remember it correctly, it has cheese, tomatoes, and garlic on top The ingredients are so simple yet the flavors are there, very tasty! Coffee: **** Good but not memorable Parking: street parking but there are plenty Environment: got indoor and outdoor seating, tho limited Service: good

came here on a saturday later in the morning and it was super packed. the coffee was really sweet and watered down and the matcha latte was very milky. i asked for more sweetner for the matcha and that helped the flavor a bit. we also got the overnight oats which was surprisingly delicious and very filling. this location is hard to find parking but we lucked out with finding meter parking nearby.

It's closed. Update Yelp! Made a special trip here and so much for coffee while visiting.

Went here for a quick expresso and a croissant. The espresso was great and the croissant was even better! They were packed so unfortunately I could not have my coffee there so I took it Togo instead. But still very good!

This place is exceptional! Service. Quality. Freshness. People. Location. Price point. I could keep going. Hands down an absolutely incredible space with incredible coffee & pastries (food too I just did it get any). Bravo. Can't wait to visit again.

The verve is great! Busy bustling coffee shop on any given day, there's nice bar seating outside but it's pretty sunny with little shade. I've been here a couple times now and the ambience, the vibe and energy is great. It's a great place to meet up and catch up with friends or catch up on some work. I had the iced matcha latte with oat milk, the iced chai latte, their lemon olive oil bread, the chia seed pudding, avocado toast, and their scone. The pastries do look amazing and fresh, I'm less of a scone person and thought it was dry but I feel like warmed up it would've tasted better. The lemon bread was really good and sweet though. The chia seed pudding was good but it was made ready to go in the fridge and felt expensive / overpriced for what it was, the avocado toast was pretty good too. The drinks were also good, not the best chai or matcha I've had but decent as a coffee shop!

Great place to meet friends or do work from. Also loved that there was free WiFi that was actually good! Rare for LA!

Solid 3. Overpriced mediocre coffee - place is always dirty. La Colombe is ten times better.

// Summary Excellent coffee with somewhat limited indoor seating that would be a great place to work or to meet one-on-one for a coffee date or social. // Experience I ordered a pourover and a croissant, and they were great. I've always been a big fan of Verve, and this is no exception. // Service My pourover came out when it should have - there were a couple of orders ahead of me and it took a bit of time as it was relatively busy. It did kind of make me want to get a latte or some kind of espresso drink as I waited, but that's kind of what you should expect if you order a pourover and other folks are ordering pourovers before you. I was trying to bus my dishes cause it wasn't clear whether or not I was supposed to, but I went up near the bar and it was a bit odd that I had to wait a bit for one of the guys to stop socializing with one of his friends to get him to notice that he should probably take my dishes. // Ambiance As with other Verve shops I've visited, this shop had a clean aesthetic. Seating is somewhat limited inside, they do have a couple of small tables and I think two sets of counter seating, one that has a weird mirror along with it. They do seem to have some outdoor seating, but I didn't really pay attention to whether or not it was plentiful. The music choice was interesting, but I was digging the jazzed-up versions of Disney songs. It's a great place to work, and maybe a great place for a 1:1 social or coffee date, but is probably not suitable for a group setting unless you want to sit outside. // Convenience I Ubered here, but the parking situation didn't seem terrible. The bathrooms were relatively clean. The wifi wasn't an issue, but I wasn't doing anything particularly demanding.

Decent coffee shop with ample amount of indoor seating, but it could have used some outlets available for use. The coffee was fine, nothing spectacular. Would have wished if they had presented it more nicely, such as in a ceramic mug (for the macchiato), but given that it was after 4, they must have stopped using those dishes, which I understand. The latte was very sweet, it didn't taste as much coffee as it did vanilla syrup. They also have a limited selection of syrups being chocolate, vanilla, and honey. The macchiato was small (the traditional size) and very strong. It definitely caffeinated me. I would maybe come back to try some pastries and hopefully find a drink that I find more interesting. I would probably come if my laptop was charged fully.

I have always driven by this coffee shop and never had the chance to try, when the traffic started to die down during the Holidays, it was my chance! The coffee shop is right in the corner of the street and it's around small business and constructions. Parking is mainly on the street but you would need to pay the meter. There are plenty of space on the patio and indoor. I really enjoyed their Nitro Flash Cold Brew, one of the best Nitro coffee. Not to mention, they also have quick grab breakfast and pastries. Service: All the staffs are really nice and helpful. They also take ONLINE ORDERS. If you do not want to wait in line or just want to grab it quick and get out, there's that offer. Will be coming back more often to try their food!

Verve Coffee is a must stop on the weekends. Their coffee is one of a kind and the service is also top notch. The ambiance is my favorite, great place to just sit and work or even read a bit. I highly recommend their missile. But be careful, it's super strong!

Took advantage of having the day off and checking out Verve. Right of the bat it was overly packed,that we had to form a line outside to get in. I ordered a regular iced vanilla latte with oat milk & a almond croissant. The latte was alright nothing super fancy but I figured because it was super busy it was probably made rushed which happens.The almond croissant tho was very tasty.

I love the vibe. Plenty seating inside. Outdoor patio is beautiful! Came here once for a quick pastry and a drink. Left satisfied!

This place has gone downhill. No wonder it was slow at noon on a Friday. It used to always be busy during lunch. Let's start with the drinks. I wish I took a photo of the latte that was poured for me. A latte first and foremost must have little bubbles, not burnt, and creamy. Next it should have at least some form of latte art on it specially if you are paying nearly $7. My latte did not have check any of those. It was bubbly, and was served like a Starbucks latte- no art and watery. the employees all look disheveled and greasy. The barista seemed over worked and untrained in pouring. Space is good and beautiful. Nice decor. Nice unique style. Several small tables for people to chat, drink, work, or study- yet they get snatched up quick. parking sucks big time now that they are doing construction and that 2 new restaurants showed up. I hope that management re trains the baristas and enforces some kind of appearance upkeep. This place use to be good.

My all time favorite coffee shop! This place is a hit no matter the location. I first found out about Verve in Santa Cruz and have now been to two locations in Hollywood and the consistency of great coffees no matter the location makes Verve a must stop coffee shop for me

Nice location and good coffee when visiting the area. Melrose is also a great walking street. Their service is mostly attentive but can at times be slow. Cortado was excellent

Parking: Street metered parking and sometimes it can get packed so you might have to circle around until someone leaves. There are also metered parking on Santa Monica just a block from the cafe. Seating/ambiance: there's indoor, outdoor, and patio seating. Availabilities really just depend on what day and time you come. Seats are decently comfortable and the table and counter space has been enough for me to comfortably work on my laptop while sipping some coffee. There is free Wifi though there are no outlets. My laptop has a pretty good battery life so I'm able to work here for two hours without charging. It can get pretty loud inside with the people talking around you as well as the music in the background so if you're looking for a quiet place, this might not be the place for you. Drinks: I've only gotten the vanilla and matcha lattes here and they're pretty solid. The matcha latte is actually one of the better matcha lattes I've had in LA, decent matcha flavor that's sweet but not drowning in ice or milk. The lattes are a bit pricey around $7.

quick & friendly service! there is plenty of seating, options both inside and outside. it was a nice day, so we were able to sit on the outside patio, which was still pretty peaceful for being located right on melrose! i got the iced lavender latte with oat milk, which tasted quite different than other lavender lattes i've gotten before, but i really enjoyed its uniqueness! also had to pick up beans :)

If you like coffee shops with modern feel, minimalist look and friendly staff? This is the place for you. I decided to get the mocha extra sweet and it's was delicious. I bought my son a croissant, he definitely liked it as he didn't even leave on piece for me to try lol. I like to rate my places from 1 to 10. 1 through 3 - will never comeback 4 through 5.8 - will come back if someone I'm with wants to try the spot 5.9 though 7.0 -will come back 7.1 through 9.9 will make an effort to come back and I would recommend the spot 10.0 is the best place! (Haven't had a 10 because there is always a better place out there. My rating for this place is 8.9 (Will you come back? Duh!) My Yelp rating is regarding the service, the experience and the quality of food or beverage.

Great ambiance, very clean and efficient. Parking sucks but employees offer great customer service. I called ahead to pick something slightly obscure up for a Christmas gift because I didn't have time to wait for shipping and unfortunately when I got there, they did not have it in stock like they thought they did. They comped my coffee for my trouble which they didn't have to do and speaks to the level of service that verve has consistently provided throughout my time frequenting this location

Amazing Coffee and Super cute vibe indoor and outdoor. Surprisingly more seating than expected. Staff was great! Loud inside, not my ideal place to work but some people might like a little noisy work vibe. No outlets ... looked all over (only reason for losing a star) but I'd def come back, just not to work :)

If you want a coffee shop for the vibes and quality this is it. I came in for a study sesh on a Thursday morning and it was quite packed. Took some time to find a spot and they had good wifi/outlets. My latte was one of the best I have had in quite some time and the art was on point. Croissant was delicious and I would def recommended dipping it in your coffee. A major con of the area is the parking as it is limited and about $2 a hour up to two hours.

Got the iced chai latte. It was a little watered down but overall was pretty good. The atmosphere of Verve is really calm. Nice spot but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Verve is a nice spot, with good coffee and even better pastries. I had the Gibraltar and an almond croissant while reading a book on the patio.

First time to this CA native chain and quite impressed by their precision and quality of product. My coffee's complicated since I've been on Whole 30 - an iced almond milk latte made of 2/3 decaf beans It was the most delicious one I've had of many! I also ordered a breakfast egg sandwich (with modifications of course:) that was perfect, with super high quality bacon. Did I forget the great vibe? Substantial indoor and outdoor seating at a great location on Melrose.

My fiancé and I are low key trying to hit up every verve! We have been to this one and another in LA along with 1 in Santa Cruz. What a cute location in NOHO. It was poppin'- people studying in the cafe or just hanging out on the outdoor patio. The drinks were divine and we love that they have coffee wear and gear for purchase- we always buy v60 filters.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon 4pm. There were quite a few people inside but there's ample seating inside and outside, so easily found a place to sit. That's the best thing about this place. The seating area doesn't really have outlets though so probably can't work on a laptop for an extremely long time (maybe there are some tucked in a corner somewhere but there weren't any where I sat on the left side of the shop). This place has true coffee shop vibes, it's spacious and great interior. There are a lot of Hollywood/LA hipsters coming here as it's directly in the center of the nice and expensive Melrose shopping and dining streets. A complaint is the place plays really loud music - and not even coffee shop music. They were blasting hiphop/pop when I first arrived, then later on played some classical. So may need to be aware of that loudness if deciding to do some work here. People also talk very loudly (prob because the music is so loud). Additionally, as mask mandates are over, some businesses still have their staff wearing masks (for their safety or also sanitary reasons), but the baristas here, a few of them didn't wear masks anymore. The coffee itself, they started in North Cal and are very popular there, and apparently also very popular in Japan (3 branches). The coffee is definitely nice and flavorful. It's not the best I've had or good enough that I want to especially make the trip to get coffee from here (Blue Bottle tastes better to me), but that's a personal preference and probably differs per each person's tastes. I like more of a nutty note (less acidity), they didn't have too many options here, and only 1 coffee that was somewhat close to what I wanted (still ended up having sour tones from the fruit though). They only had 3 coffee bean options here, with 2 of them being all fruit tones. The other downside is the parking. No free parking options (or I couldn't find any), just street meters at $2 an hour.

I remembered why I don't come here often. You'd think it'd make it a pleasant experience given the nicely designed space but it's pretty hectic. -Needs and can fit more shade and seating -Loud music plus the loud Great White next door plus dogs barking at each other all melt into a cacophany while my chocolate chip cookie melts on my face -My mocha did not feel like 8 oz. Other reviews say the outlets are gone. I dont get it - the space is inviting but it seems like they're trying to get people in and out

I heard a lot about this place and im an avid coffee lover. But an $8 lavender honey latte w oat was not worth the $8 :( I get $6-7 drinks at other spots with their own speciality twists and its sooo yummy and creamy. It's full of flavor and delicious. The drink to me here was PERSONALLY very basic and nothing special for $8.

Perfect location and beautiful café. I used to love this place, and go out of my way to get my coffee when I'm in another city if I know there is a Verve...but man has this specific Verve gone downhill. Some of the baristas seem to have no idea how to make a decent mocha, or even Americano (hot water, and espresso). The orders get screwed up at the cash register, and then some of the barista act as if it's the customers fault. One of the female baristas can't be bothered. So disappointing, especially since so many of my business meetings and social coffee dates took place here, at my suggestion. I want to love you again Verve! Please hire some better employees that care about your good name.

I initially came to visit this location because I loved the arts district verve. This one on melrose is a lot smaller. Parking is okay, it's paid meter parking with a max of 2 hours. As of right now (jan 2022) there is no indoor seating, but they do have a lot of outdoor seating. There are a couple issues, one being the wifi isn't very good. There is also a lot of construction going on around the cafe. So if you're coming here to do some work, it might be hard to even do so without any wifi and the loud construction.

Very very nice customer service. Pastries and the kale chicken Caesar wrap were both fresh. The lovely barista Anaya gave me a great recommendation for a vanilla matcha with pistachio milk!

Tried the chai latte and the peach black tea kombucha! Both drinks were really strong (especially the chai, which had a strong spicy kick to it, which I really liked). There's really nice and bright lighting inside and the environment is perfect for doing work and studying if you like having background noise! It can get pretty crowded though and it's hard to find a place to park if their parking lot is filled up.

I love almost everything about Verve except for one very important feature--the staff. A few are extraordinarily pleasant and polite, however, far too many are surly and dismissive. It sometimes feels like expecting someone to do their job is too much for folks who would rather stretch, yawn, check their phones, and otherwise socialize with their colleagues whilst customers await their simple orders. Other than that minor detail, the coffee is the best in town, the food is tasty (when it doesn't take upwards of 30 minutes to make an avocado toast), and the space is stunning (indoors and outdoors!). A person serious about management needs to go in and clean house on the staff that make even the most simple interactions into cause to go back to Starbucks. Staff interaction will ruin even the best businesses.
