ignore the rest of the menu and your default latte or americano order and get a cup from their pour over bar. This is how coffee should be made. The guatemala coffee is the best of the current crop.

These guys know how to make a latte! Single origin beans and a daft hand at the espresso machine mean you'll get a smooth and delicious coffee. Come here and support local business.

The only good coffee in an area that is full of chains and fast food. Cold brew is solid here as well as their espresso drinks. It's not visible from the street, you have to head into the office park.

It is nice to find a relaxing coffee shop like Elabrew in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Take some time to sit down and enjoy that first sip.

A wonderful find inside an office park near Universal Music Group. Free valet parking! Third-wave aggregator of great roasters.

If you're looking for a place that served up excellent beans from third-wave roasters, this is it. Great pour-over!

Sure, it's a bit pricier than Starbucks. But it's way better. Think Intelligentsia. You don't come here for drip coffee. If drip's your thing, try an Americano. For the experience: espresso/latter/cap

Very good hot chocolate which is hot. Grab a pastry if any are available.

Don't expect to order your typical Venti macchiato here. They make it the classic Italian way- a dash of milk on a shot of espresso, not a 20 oz. cup in site.

Kyoto-style cold brew = rocket fuel for my day. Make sure to order it before it sells out around 2 PM.

Pour over made me say oh snap! The girl at the counter is the perkiness broad ever!

Use your FiveStars card for a free beverage or pastry! Ask for a card if you don't already have one.

Brews and juices. Sit outside in the office garden to enjoy.

They validate if you park in the visitor parking-up to 3hrs. Otherwise, it's $2.50 EVERY 15 MINUTES. yikes.

The Mocha, even when you ask for it with soy, still has dairy.

GF brownies are legit. Much better than the usual GF goodie.

The baked products are delicious.

The espresso is always excellent, very rich, and with sweet caramel notes.

Lots of non dairy options like almond and soy milk

Cool place but it's not inexpensive 2.50 for a medium coffee that's 12oz cup.

I miss Tully's. This place is too expensive! Tully's Vanilla Latte = $3.50. Brew Coffee Bar Vanilla Latte = $5.50. YIKES.

The mocha isn't sweet or all that chocolate-y.
