Maru Coffee

Hands down the best beans & most consistent coffee in Los Feliz. I know the line can get a bit massive on the weekends but its worth it in my opinion. My favorite drinks are the iced cap, cream top and iced matcha.

Whenever people ask me where to get matcha in East LA, Canyon is always the first cafe I recommend! I must note it does get rather packed on weekends. This is the perfect place to catch up with friends.

Some of the best toast/jam you will ever have! I honestly have never had a bad meal here. You can't go wrong with anything here. Fantastic matcha & coffee as well. Mostly outdoor dining but they have a section inside as well.

Very spacious cafe - both indoor and outdoor options. There's plenty of shade if you want to do your work outdoors which is something I really appreciate when going. They have a phenomenal coffee/food menu.  I'm obsessed with their pancakes & iced lattes.

The Iced Laveta is my favorite drink here! I honestly crave it once a week, along with their avocado toast + chicken & waffles. It's mostly outdoor seating with an awning above. Love the industrial vibe here.

Cafe Nindo is the perfect outdoor spot. My favorite thing to get here is their Iced Matcha. At night it turns into Tenants of the Trees - a fun bar as well! Love being able to go here from morning to night (:

A newer addition to the LA coffee scene! Their coffee/matcha is 10 out of 10 (: The line gets line on the weekends but another cafe that is definitely worth the wait. I love their signature Iced Camel Coffee and matcha!
