Good Intentions Coffee

Ken Wong

December 2025: Was at the Academy of Motion Pictures museum and craved a place with good coffee. Searched around and stumbled upon Good Intentions Coffee. Stopped by for afternoon coffee and ordered a pour over coffee. They were nice enough to provide a side of oat milk that I love with my coffee. Really enjoyed my pour over. Service was very friendly. I'd definitely come back again!

Such a cute and delicious spot! Espresso is great, cold brew amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was a great lil sweet treat. Staff is always very kind, vibes inside are cozy and sweet. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with the owner Sarah who's passionate about her craft. The coffee is 10/10. Very smooth and tasty. Great place to get work done too! This coffee is made with love and staff makes you feel loved. I will be coming back!🤩☕️

Amazing coffee and matcha spot that gets a LOT of regulars for good reason. I tried the bad apple matcha latte, which was the perfect combination of hot apple cider x matcha ever. It’s honestly the best cafe drink I’ve had all year, and I’ve visited a LOT to the detriment of my wallet :(. Their chamoy espresso tonic was also STELLAR. Whoever thought of chamoy with espresso is a genius. Try it!

I have to hold myself back from visiting every day. An unpretentious 3rd-wave coffee shop, serving their own small-batch roasts and other local roasteries. Add in the nicest staff in the business, excellent pastries, and reasonable prices and you have the best coffee shop in the area.

Coffee is excellent and the staff are so sweet! The interior is small with a few tables but so cute. I’ll definitely be back!

Really nice service and delicious coffee and pastries! The cappuccino and chocolate croissant were sublime. Will definitely be back

Hands down the BEST small coffee shop experience in LA! Tasty coffee and matcha lattes alike, coupled with a super friendly owner + employees as well as a wall full pictures of dogs who’ve visited (of which my cavapoo is proudly featured), makes a welcoming experience I will frequently go back to.

I’ve been here twice. the first time i went the espresso was 100/10 amazing!! the second time it wasn’t as good very average and maybe they needed to clean the machine? i wish it was consistent. the staff is super nice and i love the small coffee shop feel. very sweet people!

Neighborhood coffee shop with a really warm and inviting atmosphere driven by the service from the staff. They’re all really lovely and kind people who are making really good espresso drinks. They do a great job executing on classic espresso drinks. They also like to experiment with creative flavors for specialty drinks — I think they hit more than they miss, but I also want to say that I appreciate that they want to push the envelope and try some drinks you aren’t going to find everywhere (I’m thinking of the chamoy apple latte as an example). The space is a little small but whaddyagonnado. I really appreciate the love they bring to the drinks! They have a small case of pastries but AFAIK they aren’t doing like food options.

Absolutely wonderful. The best espresso in Los Angeles. Great little spot. I highly recommend visiting

Being across the street from us, our staff is always getting their morning joe here. Great coffee and service! Highly recommend!

They are always excellent at choosing food brand and brands for their coffees. I am not an expert taster but the New Yirgacheffe Koke Honey beans were delicious as a pour over! Vibrant smell with hints of fruit, you get a hit of zesty brightness, simmers into a milky not too dark chocolate note and ends CLEAN with no lingering bitterness or darkness on the tongue. Try the new beans, try all the beans, wonderful coffee as always :)

Delicious coffee for a standard LA price. Better to take to-go than to eat in since it’s a bit tight. If you’re close by looking for coffee it’s probably the best option in walking distance.

Wow!! Absolutely amazed by my experience here. Unassuming coffee shop on the ground floor of an office building with the best coffee I’ve had in a LONG time. I got the Mocha Glow, a seasonal drink, that combined blood orange and chocolate and it was delicious. I also got a very tasty blueberry muffin and nothing disappointed. The space is small but they have cute artwork and some tables/WiFi for working. The staff was incredibly helpful, kind, personable, and you can tell they really care about your experience and their craft. Would recommend to anybody!!

New Cafe Alert! This cozy, homey coffee shop is a must-visit. The owner is incredibly kind and attentive, even accommodating my best friend’s gluten-free needs by adding gluten-free items to the menu. I highly recommend trying the gluten-free brownie—it’s absolutely delicious! Plus, their lattes are fantastic. Don’t miss out!

This is a cute little coffee spot with friendly service and seriously good pastries. I grabbed a cinnamon roll made with croissant dough, and it was flaky, buttery perfection—definitely worth a return trip. The coffee was just as solid. Bonus: while you wait, you can check out a wall of photos featuring all the sweet dogs that visit. A great place to swing by for a quick coffee and a treat.

We love it here so much! Great coffee, super nice people

Nice quaint coffee shop. The owner is a very nice, kind and caring person. The coffee is pretty good as well. Definitely worth a try.

Michelle

Amazing service, and small but a great atmosphere. This coffee shop is situated at an odd spot and there is no parking available directly. So, I got my $80 worth of a parking ticket.
