carrera cafe

Great place to work from or hang out with a friend! We got the hot chocolate and iced latte, both were good, and since we were there during the end of day, we both got a free pastry! They also have free WiFi and outlets and lots of parking around. Really liked my experience at Carrera cafe!

We've been coming to Carrera for a long time now. We come with the family and always enjoy the warm hospitality, great espresso and energy. I always try something new and this time I had the strawberry infused matcha latte. It is absolutely divine!

This place is a gem! The food is always delicious, everything is prepared super quickly, and the custom latte art is out of this world. Seriously — the designs are so cute and detailed, they make my day every time. I’m obsessed! Highly recommend if you love great taste and a touch of creativity in your coffee.

Very chick and stylish cafe on Melrose Ave next to the tourist attraction, Paul Smith Pink Wall. Open, bright and cozy, with beautiful black and white floor. It offers espresso, famous lattes with ripple effect, salads, sandwiches, snacks and sweets. It has both indoor and outdoor sitting. You can see many influencers visiting this charming place.

This cafe needs more credit! I have been to LA 6 times now, and the lattes here are by far the best. On the pricier side, but I would pay every time for their coffee. I typically get a decaf vanilla latte with soy milk, and it is perfect. The decor is cute, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating.

Located on Melrose, the Cafe was clean and had great customer service. I had a large arugula salad with grilled chicken, goat cheese, sliced almonds, dried fig, cherry tomatoes, and avocado with a lemon vinegarette dressing. I also had a cappuccino with a picture of my grandmother on the foam. What a great idea! They have a cute little patio off to the side where you can eat and people watch.

Joanna was my barista and she was absolutely fantastic! I came home to LA to visit for the weekend and brought my mom here. We were so excited about the personalized photos that can be put on top of your lattes. Great vibes, great coffee, a must try!

Mitchell not sure if he was the manager or not but he should be did an amazing job helping out me and my hungover friends figure out what we wanted. He didnt even get upset when I politely told him that the drink I ordered was gross he helped me find something I actually liked. Will definitely stop back in

This cafe is super chic! Really good dirty chai, beautiful donuts and great customer service. It’s right by the “pink wall” so grab a drink and snap some pics !

Lovely cafe, was really impressed with the meatball sandwich and the red velvet doughnut had a great flavour to it. Very clean and good food options, fruit bowl was amazing and was so fresh. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

I stumbled upon such a hidden gem of a café I hadn’t known about before. The staff were genuinely kind, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. They even offer the option to print any logo you want on your coffee or matcha for just three dollars extra, which is such a fun touch. The sandwich was fresh and paired nicely with the side salad. It’s a great place to get work done or meet a friend—clean, convenient, and well-organized. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Nice cafe across from the Pink Wall. Their signature dishes are the egg sandwich and cookie butter latte

Carrera Cafe on Melrose is a great spot for coffee and people-watching. I ordered an iced latte, and it came out really good smooth and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. My only concern is about their can-style drink cups; they look cool but tend to leak a bit from the top, which can get messy. Overall, though, it’s a solid cafe with good vibes and quality drinks.

Was amazed with having printed pic on my cup of coffee. Got caramel latte it tasted good. 😊 Had a cute vibe

The location is nice and filled with natural light. I had the lavender flavored coffee and it was good. The waffle however was given to me in a plastic cup and I found that cheap. I got the berries and walnuts waffle which ended up being too sweet because of the syrup, iced sugar and whipped cream they add.

cute cafe in a GREAT location ! unfortunately , may not be for me when I saw that I was up-charged $1.25 for coconut milk without notice while placing order , as I could’ve easily had any other plant-based milk substitute (or are they all an additional dollar-twenty-five??) ..idk e-receipt caught me off guard , wasn’t what I was expecting from displayed menu prices .. also , FIVE bucks for a plain butter croissant ?! …yeah , this is definitely not a daily stop café , not for my current tax bracket at least , haha . the baristas behind the counter were pleasant though ! (the only reason that I gave “service” 3 stars is b/c transparency in pricing is important .

Coffee tastes like water. I ordered cappuccino and it was not even close. You’d think for this amount of money they’d figure it out 🤷🏻‍♀️ Avo toast was okay but definitely not “loaded” as they claim it is. Owners of this place should go to Blue bottle, Ideology coffee or dialog cafe and try how coffee & avo toast should really taste before selling this.

Horrible customer service. Paid the extra for a flavored syrup. Politely told the barista there was no syrup in the coffee. Barista tried to argue that there was. This cafe was great pre pandemic but it seems like customer service is non existent now. Since the business wants to respond, I can confirm there was NOT one drop of syrup it’s okay to make mistakes but own up to them. I mixed the coffee very well, there was no syrup at all it was bitter. To add, I was not greeted when I walked in, barista was on the screen attempting to fiddle with something. Then rudely looked up and asked if I was ready to order a few minutes later. Horrible customer service!!!!

Just got a $8 strawberry matcha and its really not good. Watery barely tasted like anything with globs of strawberry on the bottom. Staff was also not really friendly, was relatively empty 3-4 people behind the counter not doing much all with faces like theyd rather be anywhere other than there. Wont return.
