Amazing spot to get some work or studying done. The prices are more reasonable than at a lot of places in LA. And the atmosphere is simply wonderful. Relaxing music, gorgeous decor, and attentive staff. I love the variety of seating, and that there’s even sidewalk tables. I ordered the Iced Matcha, which was blended to perfection. Jay was a fantastic barista!

Quite perfect for studying, very peaceful and quiet with relaxing music in the background. Should be easy to find parking in nearby streets My fresh brew coffee was EXCELLENT, flavorful, but not bold or acidic. Perfect temperature

Matcha latte was prepared properly and sweetness was appropriate. Service was great and the environment was excellent. It's more of a true cafe ambience. Not too many tables, open spacing, nice decor. It's fairly quiet as well. I really enjoyed being there. Nice to find a quiet local cafe and not the crazy loud environment of a Starbucks. Check it out.

Very quiet. I believe it’s a great place to study. I ordered a caramel latte. It was good! Mood is also very nice. I would definitely come back to study 😎

Cool coffee vibe. Distressed tables and exposed brick. Chilled background music. Decent cappuccino and flat white. Solitary students frowning over laptops with headphones on. Peaceful.

I need to get out of my house more and decided to drop in to see if my pour over could be topped. Very impressed and happy I made the choice to try this place out. I'll be back for a relaxing plave to work or read and get a proper caffeine fix!

This is my new favorite coffee shop!! The drinks were so good and I love how big, open, and comfy the shop is. There’s plenty of space to talk and work. The service was also amazing!

This coffee shop has serene setup with calm, peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The coffee was one of the best I have had in recent times. We had a Flat white and Latte and both the coffees were simple awesome. It reminded me of RAW coffee from Dubai. Keep up the awesome work.

Espressoteric Coffee Co. might be my new happy place. It’s like someone combined a productivity zone with a caffeine sanctuary and gave it great lighting and reliable Wi-Fi. The vibes? Immaculate. The ambiance is perfect — chill enough to focus, comfortable enough to settle in for a while, and just busy enough that you don’t feel like you’re the last person on Earth. Now let’s talk about Justice, my barista, who crushed it. Super friendly, quick with the drinks, and somehow made a latte that tasted like it had its life together more than I do. If you’re looking for a place to work, relax, or question your life choices over a really good espresso — this is it. 10/10 would caffeinate here again.

Cozy coffee shop with warm ambient lighting. Perfect place to study or get some work done. Ordered an Iced Coffee w/ Almond Milk. The coffee was a little acidic for my liking, so the barista kindly fixed my drink, and tasted much better!

Food is amazing and the service is always great. I love the vibe here and when the owner makes the coffee it’s always perfect which is why we come here a lot. The only reason for four stars is consistency. A few times now when I’ve ordered a vanilla latte and it wasn’t made by him, the coffee had no flavor. Everything else keeps me coming back and I just wish the coffee was more consistent.

So I order a single espresso and they gave me a big cup with the precious liquid. Calling yourself espressoteric you should know how to serve espresso. Sorry but kind of disappointed.

Love the look of the place, but the vibe and drinks were not it. The cashier stared at us blankly while I looked at the menu and didn’t greet us. The chai was so hot I had to wait 40 minutes to drink it, and the taste was terrible. Felt like the spices were burning my throat. Every customer was on a laptop and glared at you if you made a peep. The bathroom window doesn’t have a curtain and you can see right into the neighboring buildings. Will not return.

I used to love this place, but this morning I had a really disappointing experience. I went in for a cappuccino, and the staff member — who should’ve been attentive to customers — was on his phone and visibly upset about something. He made the coffee with zero motivation, and since it was to-go, I didn’t notice until I got home that the milk tasted off, like it was old or spoiled. Unfortunately, it was a terrible experience, and I don’t plan on coming back anytime soon.

I love supporting local businesses, but unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. During our first visit, the staff was extremely rude. After spending two hours in the café—and despite purchasing drinks—we were loudly told by an employee that we should "go to a library." My drink cup had already been thrown away, so perhaps they didn’t realize we had made a purchase, but regardless, the way we were approached was unprofessional and disrespectful. This is not the kind of customer service I would expect or support.
