My #1 favorite, best freaking coffee shop in all of CA. I cant recommend this place enough. Try the Chai, Texas Tacos, Avocado Toast, Brisket Burrito, EVERYTHING! The vibe here, the baristas, the food, the coffee, the tea, it is all unbeatable. I love the Gendale location where there is a little downtown area to walk around with fun outside seating. 11/10 spot. I wish I still lived close enough to go every Sunday like we used to!

I hear great things about the coffee but my experience there didnt work out. I stood in line for 15 minutes behind only 3 people and they never called up another person to take any orders. Nothing was moving and I couldnt for the life of me fathom what was going on. I wasnt in a terrible hurry, but it seemed like they dont have their system together. There were also a bunch of people waiting for orders... So perhaps this was just a moment, but I left before ordering.

First time trying this place and I got double charged, had horrible coffee, this place never answers your calls and its been over a month to get my refund back. Like I never had trouble getting a refund back, yet they make it so complicated.P.S. Im still waiting on my refundAnything is possible, yet they wanna give me a gift card. Im not even going back to this place and it was the employees fault.

Came here with my wife and baby daughter today for the first time since ore pandemic days and it did not disappoint. They were very helpful and kind and allowed to take my time to order. I wanted the brisket hash brunch meal but i got there after 3 pm so I settled for other items. The BLTA (Pastrami bacon lettuce tomato avocado) sandwich was great. The pastrami bacon was delicious and crispy with the heat if both worlds of pastrami and bacon. My wife got the fried chicken sandwich with condiments on the side and it was very filling. The chicken was tasty and juicy and the breading of the chicken was crispy and not soggy at all considering we took our food go. The house made potato chips were light and salty and delicious, mine picked up some of the pastrami peppery flavory for an added kick. The jalapeño coleslaw for the fried chicken Sandwich I had as a side and it was fresh and with a bit of heat.We also ordered a few pastries and coffee to go. Chocolate croissants thats were still soft plus toffee walnut cookies and zucchini vegan chocolate chip bread. That cookie though..... Wow.Cold brew coffee and Cuban coffee were very tasty. Cuban coffee wasnt too sweet which i prefer and is good for my wife. A single espresso shot was also very good. I enjoyed it to the point I bought a bag of coffee.Will definitely be back again soon

Ive been visiting the Burbank location for the past few months as an alternative to Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Almost every credit card Ive used at this location has been skimmed/stolen/hacked and used to purchase items across Los Angeles. Ive brought the issue up to Tyler King and Eric Peters (owners of Coffee Commissary) and they have virtually done nothing to address the problem. Please do not use your credit card at this location as its guaranteed to be stolen!! Instead, pay them by cash or visit another coffee location where your security is important. Ill no longer be visiting this location or any other Coffee Commissary.

Scored a parking spot in the back and made it before closing time with my friend to get hot Irish cream coffee. They also had at patty’s day cookies so I had to snag it. Indoor seating was allowed and it was rainy outside so we sat diagonally from each other. Coffee was good, a tad too sweet for me. The music was very loud and with the mask on, I had to shout to talk to my friend. All pandemic issues I’m sure. I love all the coffee commissaries around town - I used to frequent the one in Weho and Culver City a lot so I’m sure I’ll be back again. Close to chil filet and Wiener schnitzel and Whole Foods and all the studios.

The cappuccinos are amazing & the latte art is on point! The ambiance is lovely, especially sitting outside. There are outlets & its a nice place to study. However, the music inside is too loud in my opinion.

Cute place - the lavender matcha lemonade was delicious although a little grainy. Parking was a mess at the time of day I went and we were lucky to snag the last remaining seats inside as the only other seats were outside during one of those hotter than hell days.

Was looking forward to trying this place out. It has plenty of parking around back and it was easy to access.Ordered an iced oat milk latte and it was pretty good. Super balanced and milky enough. The place was clean, organized and well maintained overall.Unfortunately the service isnt that good and the music inside is way too loud. Chose this place to meet with a supplier and we could barely talk. Outside seating area feels better but it was full during our visit.If you just want to grab a coffee and work, it is a great option. If youre meeting other people or using this place for a professional scenario, dont.Guys, please train your staff a bit better on service. Im tired of visiting good coffee places where baristas have an attitude.

Review №26

This place is awesome. It has become my quotidian stop in the morning while Im here in the LA area. There are several locations I frequent the one on all of and the other one in Kenneth Village. This is one of the few places that really cooks eggs in a pan instead of on the grill so you really can get fluffy runny soft scrambled eggs as they are supposed to be done. The bread from Clarks bakery is awesome and they toast it up on the grill with homemade preserves or comes in one of their many sandwiches. Decent price point and a full coffee barrister nice location with good seatings at the two that I go to parking is never an issue can always find something nearby if not directly by the building

Review №28

Most likely one of the better coffee spots in Hollywood ~ Coffee Commissary has a welcoming counter style bar in a studio smack in the center of a whole sleu of other studios on Sunset Blvd 🌅 They source all their coffees by trying every seasonal offering from the best micro roasters they can find and this is one location of a few. Prices are very manageable and thematic inspirations from film sketch culture breathes life into wall designs, backed by minimalistic, waving paint stripes, fluorescent lighting, a bathroom full of fun Hollywood history infographics, and cool colors, plus an outdoor seating arrangement that is very inviting. If you are walking Hollywood BLVD and are looking for quality coffee and a great spot to recharge, this should be your go to!

This place was really good. Like, reallyyyy good. Their space for parking is... Limited. But other than that,- their internet works well enough that you can have music playing in your headphones while you work- their honey habanero sandwich is LITERALLY the stuff dreams are made of. Oh my goodness it was good. And it came with potato wedges.- the workers overall were pretty niceThis is my new favorite coffeeshop in Burbank

Watch out! Nearly $5 for a drip coffee. The line is long (see photo). The atmosphere really is like a cafeteria (plastic chairs, cement floor, chipped paint). The wi-fi is iffy. It’s one of those shops that not-so-subtly encourages people to leave. But the coffee is great.

I went to the Commissary to pick up client lunch, so I DIDNT ACTUALLY TASTE THE FOOD. This was my first time at the commissary and Ive always wondered what it was like. They were very busy but the staff was also quite fast. I gave it 2 stars because the Pick Up section was not pleasant for me. Its a bit messy and confusing. So much so that another person took my order instead of her own. I overheard her say I guess I grabbed the wrong one and then she said her name to the staff member, and I heard the staff member say Oh, yeah you did, this one was yours, it says her name . She was already eating the food, that wasnt hers, while waiting for her coffee, not caring/or realizing that shes eating what someone else is waiting for. I thought I heard my name at one point, but it was a little loud and since I didnt see a receipt with my name on it I figured I was hearing things. Im pretty patient, especially when it comes to restaurants since I understand how it can be. But, I didnt know right then and there that she took my order. The staff member didnt say anything to anyone waiting about the food order just sitting there with that persons name on it, but knew it wasnt hers. So I just waited to hear my name. I got tired of waiting while everyone behind me was hearing their names being called, so I asked if that one sitting there is mine and did that person take my order. The staff member said Yes but they are exactly the same meal. Um...Okay...I know he was busy but he could have said something. She definitely could have said something knowing that she had the wrong one. I was right there next to her. As she left I finally saw my name on the receipt she was holding. Perhaps it was a bit more confusing since I had never been there before, but there were a few people who had that look of, is that mine?, on their faces, and hesitated to pick up their order right away. I also hesitated to touch the receipts on the open food boxes because it didnt seem sanitary in case it wasnt mine. (I know some people who would be upset about that). I think the Pick Up section might keep me from wanting to try this place for a little bit longer. It sort of turned me off from the whole experience.

Went there about two weeks ago to meet up with an old friend. Nice high ceilings with great light, good coffee, and amazing looking (killer!) baked goods. I wished for a little more space indoors-- it was pretty crowded, and the seating was really packed in. There is a lovely area for outdoor seating that was also taken at the time. For as crowded as it was, I was surprised that it wasnt louder in there. I could carry on a conversation without struggling to hear my friend. I ordered a julep and an espresso, both well done. Decent flavor in the mixed drink, and flavor in the espresso was as expected. Courteous service in a moderate amount of time. Would go back when in L.A.

An espresso bar some right !We all love good espresso drinks, these guys have combined it with a great breakfast menu that allow to have both and not compromise. I found the pour over coffee along an avocado toast on their yummy bread to be a power breakfast, washed down with an espresso and some sparkling water !

Went here for my 30 minute lunch break and ordered one drink. I asked how long the wait was and I was told not that long. So I take a seat and wait and wait and wait and I see more and more people coming in and out. After 15 minutes I finally ask why the long wait and realize there is only ONE person working and making all the drinks. The cashier did not make drinks but was only taking orders. After 25 minutes pass I ask if I’m coming up soon (my lunch was only 30 mins and I’m 5 away from clocking back in) he then tells me there is still 6 ahead of me due to call in orders I couldn’t believe it I just spent my entire lunch waiting for ONE drink I spent $7 on and had to leave to make it back to work. Worst experience of my life. I will be disputing with my bank to get my funds back for an item I never received. 0 stars!

Review №75

Great place, great food, great speed, good coffee.The way these guys can get to the next level is increasing their floor space and expanding their staff. I noticed when it starts to get crowded and a line gets close to being out the door its pretty much impossible to get your food in under a half hour. Thats an awesome problem to have but when youre in a business sector and a small coffee place, you need to serve fast so you can afford to grow more as a restaurant

Review №83

Great b-fast burrito, but with a parking lot the size of a postage stamp youre forced to park on the street, where the residents had the city put up no parking signs during business hours. So, youre side dish is a $43 ticket, which is considerably less palatable. I dont know about you but no burrito Ive ever eaten is worth $55. Edit: Just gave this place another star back...Their burrito just hit the spot in my empty cold heart.Edit 2: Burrito, why do I love you so?

Review №88

This place has a certain vibe and avocado toast. Baristas do latte art and every customer has a laptop and/or camera. What was really awesome about this place was the baguettes! They are not rock-hard, but soft while still crunchy. The Egg and Cheese sandwich is divine. Its not an everyday splurge, because the food and coffee are a little pricey, but its nice for every once-in-a-while.

Overall I would call this the perfect coffee place. Coffee is perfect, pastry was superb. Yay to their courage to let stuff caramelize properly.Ambience is nice inside, parking is limited.I would give this place five stars if I was a millionaire.

Review №93

Very pricey for what you get. I got the pork belly burrito. It was just an average breakfast burrito with pork belly in it. Very greasy. It tasted bland because there was no sauce of any kind. They also have a few other Mexican options but dont carry hot sauce of any kind in the store. They offered to give me a little side container of home made salsa. The portion was so small i used it all a 1/4 the way through my burrito. They wanted to charge me for more. No drip coffee options just a $5 cold brew that tastes like cold drip coffee. It seemed like a popular spot but I think its just because there is not much around it. They need to step up their food game for sure.

The Chicken Sandwich was really good, the wifes BLT-E was amazing, and so was the Avocado Toast!I had the Cold Brew, my wife the Vanilla Latte, and we sampled each others drinks, and they were both really great!Process are about 20% higher than comparable food and coffee at other places, but its worth a visit every so often.Line was almost non-existent at 11:45 AM on a Thursday, which is not what I expected at all, given the stories and reviews.

As far as a coffee shop would go The coffee commissary is not that bad they have a lot of different coffee bean flavors there which is cool but they dont do anything that really knocks your socks off I mean I will take definitely better than a Starbucks but its not really a place that you need to go out of your way to check out to get a grand experience theyre fine and the food there is not bad either I do like that they have a nice outdoor area to chill with friends

This place is very hipster, but its so good.Right across the way from NBC Studios is Coffee Commissary. Quaint little coffee shop that is very much hipster, but in a good way. The ambiance is relaxing, friendly. The music is great, classy 50s music. Theyre also dog friendly! At least nobody said anything to us when we sat outside.We got the Cubano iced coffee and the breakfast burrito with potatoes on the side. Everything was delicious! The coffee was so good, very rich and on the sweet side. The burrito was very tasty as well, not the best Ive had, but great nonetheless.If you want some great coffee with good food, you cant go wrong with coffee comm.
