- As a Chicago resident, I definitely appreciate Intelligentsia in LA. Great coffee, obviously. This location also has a nice outdoor seating area and wifi.
- Fantastic iced mocha. Rich Strauss milk with nutty chocolate, balanced with great espresso. The in house made-from-scratch ganache chocolate they're using stays dissolved beautifully once iced.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
- Robbie SironJuly 13, 2016The tile floor of this is the most eye catching part. But the coffee is why you should go. A lively, and usually busy place. Try one of the seasonal espressos.
- Gregol GratisNovember 4, 2014Uber-trendy. The coffee is prepared with fanatisme, but the success of the place makes it hard for the time pressured baristas to reach perfection. Try to find the moment when it's less crowded. Enjoy
- Gustav Von SydowJanuary 7, 2019One of the best editions of Intelligentsia out there, possibly with one of the shortest lines too. If only they could get rid of the tons of atmosphere killing amounts of swag they put on display.
- Sam SolakyanJuly 17, 2017Cozy atmosphere. The baristas here are so nice and highly recommend the lavender hot chocolate. The staff was good. I can't wait to come back again next time.
- One of the best coffee places in LA. Cold brew on a summer day is the best. Limited seating. Make sure to check out the cheese store next door for free samples.
- Vu LeFebruary 12, 2014I must say this coffee shops simply rocks, with vast range of delicious coffees to choose out from. But intake of too much of coffee or tea does have their bad repercussion on our oral health.
- Zach AaronsMay 18, 2012Best coffee in Los Angeles in the cool Silver Lake Junction area. Sit outside with an iced coffee and pastry while you watch attractive hipsters scurry by. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
- Joseph CAugust 17, 2014Come in the late afternoon. Grab something from The Cheese Store of Silverlake, a cup of Joe here, grab a seat & enjoy the scenery & WiFi. ☕📡💻🎧📱😎👍
- Watch out for the dive bombing pigeons! I actually had one fly right into my head. Can kind of ruin a cool coffee experience... Love the cold brew coffee. Best ever.
- Noah WeissOctober 13, 2014Drink fancy coffees and espresso and chai lattes from hipster baristas in the hipster heartland of LA: silver lake.
- Lauren MacApril 3, 2017Love the well-lit interiors and clean patterns here! The caffeine and carbs are wonderful too ...
- Jo LetkeOctober 22, 2014Well obviously the coffee is amazing. But I like mine at home too. BeanGenius mails me intelligentsia personalized to my tastes. Options!
- Andrew ChoiJanuary 19, 2014Their americano has a unique flavor. Get it iced if you don't want to go down the traditional iced coffee route.
- Pocket SunAugust 14, 2014Very sunny, flowers near the stairs, nice vibe around. Quality coffee for sure.
- Chris LJune 19, 2018People watching is good. Though despite the free WiFi, it’s hard to be productive because of how loud the area is.
- ***FREE STREET PARKING ON SANBORN ST. WATCH THE SIGNS! PARKING ENFORCEMENT IS REALLY ON METER PARKING SPACES weekends*** !!ANGELENO & ICE MOCHA! !!
- KCRWMay 15, 2012Bring the gourmet-iest of gourmet coffees home with you by Stopping into Intelligentsia and picking up some organic Fair-Trade beans. Bring your KCRW Fringe Benefits Card to sweeten the deal!
- diana huangMay 2, 2013Angeleno is an iced latte with an extra shot of espresso, some simple syrup all shaken on ice... Wonderful!
- Jessie ForerDecember 3, 2014Definitely a scene here, but it's a damn fine cup of coffee, perfect for sipping while window shopping in all of the fancy boutiques.
- Billy AmpOctober 20, 2014The Super Over-Hyped coffee shop that all the hipsters talk about! And I must say, they know their coffee. Well done hipsters. well done.
- Patricia ZhouAugust 27, 2017Coffee is good, although maybe a bit overhyped... Don't think it's worth the price, but service is good and the atmosphere is still pretty cute. The pastries look pretty amazing though.
- Michael MiraulaSeptember 5, 2013Cool place with a European air. The espressos are served with a glass of soda water...something done in Italy.
- Be ready for coffee greatness. I've been to almost every killer coffee spot. Stumptown and more. This place is legit! Best coffee served in the US and possibly the world. BUT, it will cost you :) $$$$
- Michael David DavisOctober 12, 2013Say hello to Sadie, the four legged beauty who is a personal greeter and will alway make you smile, unless you don't have a soul.
- Travis DiesingMarch 19, 2015Tres Santos: Fresh-roasted coffee from Columbia. Have only been there once, though.
- Rebecca TrouweeJuly 14, 2015Nice iced coffee outside. With your legs in the sun and your head in the shade!
- RJ DuganAugust 12, 2014Open surprisingly late - great spot for an after dinner cafe au lait - plus, no crazy long line late afternoon-evenings
- Savor every sip, right down to the red star at the bottom of the cup. This is coffee as God intended it (literally -- best espresso I've found since Rome).
- Ask for a side of sparkling water. Best in town. Served just at the right temp, at the peak of effervescence.
- If you're trying to miss the crowd, go when most people get coffee, before 10am or after 6 for that all nighter. Otherwise anything in between is when to go if you wanna be seen.
- Juan A.January 5, 2015Reminds me of the one back home in Chicago. It is great to have one nearby. Great tea and coffee.
- Saarim ZamanMarch 9, 2016The iced green tea is a completely reasonable alternative if you're not in the mood for coffee
- Buzz AndersenMarch 28, 2012Great place to see celebrities getting lattes. I'm a fan of the rather frightening Iced Angeleno (four pulled espresso shots shaken with agave nectar, milk, and ice).
- Coffee is always satisfying and the mosaic floors are the best on this side of town.
- Dress up to grab a coffee. Ideal wardrobe: Military boots, skinny dark denim jeans, white-tee, plaid shirt and/or MacBook Pro with iPhone 5 or newer. J/k
- LA Home & StyleMarch 11, 2013The long lines are part of the experience, and the iced Angelo will give you all the jolt you'll need says Ali.
- Iknow ThisgirlfromsomewhereAugust 24, 2015Coffee strong enough to have you shaking like this chihuahua. Good stuff man.
- MazdaNovember 17, 2010These baristas are well-trained in the art of pulling a quality espresso shot and steaming milk. They also know a lot about coffee, just ask them.
- It can get kind of crowded so come early. Take a photo of the floor like everyone else.
- Brandon HDecember 19, 2012A bit to pretentious for my taste. Tea is fine. Don't expect a great customer service experience. Everyone is far to hip here. Don't fight the cool. Just be judged and drink your coffee.
- Jinnefer DeBejare CabreraApril 26, 2016Espresso and anything your little hearts desires to nibble on....mmm so tasty
- Erik RowleyJanuary 25, 2017Perfect spot for that morning caffeine boost, loved walking this beautiful neighborhood and relaxing here.
- Just lurve the vibe here! My fave one is the Vanilla Latte 👌🏻
