Consistently good coffee tucked in the corner of a salon. Outside seating only on street and small back patio for non-salon customers. Some food and pastry options. Cute, edgy (be careful where you take the coffee cup with their PG 13 snippets), but friendly vibes.

For this place having gone viral multiple times, the vibe was just not there.1st, it’s inside a salon, making it incredibly awkward to walk into when people are getting serviced feet away from you AND it makes it so cluttered and way too many people in the tight space.2nd, the customer service is absolute trash here. I get the whole aesthetic is “anti-b!tch” but the workers were opposite of that. Weren’t really helpful at all, looked at me like i was stupid when i ordered, and just overall were not friendly. My friend and I both ordered a version of peach tea, they looked exactly the same and we asked which one is which and the girl goes “that ones the peach”… my friend and i looked at each other confused because we both ordered a type of peach tea. She looked at us like we were idiots and finally said that one had the peach jelly in it.3rd, the drinks were fine but definitely not worth the $5+ price tag.I’m visiting from out of state but i know my local friend won’t be back and i won’t be going out of my way again to come here.Overall disappointing

Eclectic coffee shop. Great spot to grab a coffee, some pastries and get a haircut. You have to see it for yourself. Lots of cool gift items too. One of the best things of all...They say “no” to Karens. I really enjoyed my time here.

Okay, the finest coffee place, plus I can bring my pet here. Ive been to this coffee shop several times and have always loved the coffee, and the variety of pastries always tempts us. The cat, who still gets a lot of attention from other diners, is pleasant to see and then settles peacefully under the table. This is a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast!

Keto fans pay attention. They have keto coffee, keto cookie dough, keto donuts and more... the space is fun but small. There’s seating in the alley in the back and also on the sidewalk.It’s in a salon too

What a nice place to relax! Your Coffee Shop was one of the best places that I want to study and focus and it was very relaxing. The place was also very quiet and pleasant. I really like to come back here again and again. Thankful to use your service for the first time! Strongly recommended Coffee Shop to everyone!

I Just love how they joke about Karens...If your name is Karen and you are offended by this they proved their point and you are a joke:D:D:D. Karens opinion does not matter !!

Review №19

I had an iced mocha and pumpkin bread which are both good. I know they dont care about my review, but it slightly weirds me out that this location is inside a hair salon.

Review №20

I just want the world to know. This coffee shop got a customer out of me simply because they are original and they have the most welcoming staff! I don’t drink coffee but I love sandwiches and snacks that my friends and I loved, and their selection is superb! They have different teas, different muffins, donuts, you name it! Definitely check them out if you’re in ur LA area!!

So, a sign outside said that they dont care about a bad review, but I wanted to give a great review. Unique coffee drinks, including a nice refreshing, iced mint coffee, especially when its hot af. I wasnt expecting to head in there, but Im glad I did.

Review №29

Great.... I enjoyed be told to wait outside for 20 minutes to finally walk in and out in 10 seconds and my order has been sitting on the table for who knows how long. Please change your policy for pick-ups. There was no point in me sitting out that long for something that was already made.....

No business should have to be attacked and bullied by a group of entitled, miserable people who consistently make work life stressful for any working class. No Karen, we don’t care about your opinion.

Review №31

This place is unbelievable! From the branding to the funny, creative stamped cups to the absolutely incredible service. They deserve more than five stars. We used their catering cart for a community event and we were blown away by the service, professionalism, and their coffee is seriously amazing. We loved their creative latte options and to die for pastries. Thank you!!

Review №35

Although I have only been here one time, I would definitely come back. It is quite far from where I live, so I would plan on doing a little day trip in the area next time I go. The inside is very cute and there is a nice little patio area in the back with tables and chairs set up. The coffee is pretty good (though Ive only tried 1 drink), but a little pricey and they sell different bakery items with vegan options, however, the main attraction of visiting Coffe Dose is the fun cups that your coffee comes in. They also sell reusable tumblers and coffee mugs with the well known taglines on them (I believe mine was around $26).

Review №37

The drinks are honestly not that good. Our party had the rose latte, the dulce, and a vanilla bean latte. Pretty mediocre for all and definitely not worth the price. The decor and cups are pretty cute tho.

Review №40

Coffee Dose has really good coffee, espresso, and matcha drinks and is a fun cafe with Instagramable drinks, but I knock it a star for very limited seating since it is located inside a hair salon. Therefore, if salon and hair colorant fumes bother you, that could be an issue too.

Al
Review №41

Amazing place!!!!! The service was amazing, how they treat you was amazing. I loved their memes about Karen’s!!!! And to read all these reviews is even better the owner should print the bad reviews from Karen’s and add them to the wall!!! The prices are excellent and responsible. She should also add to the wall “Karen’s caught on camera” and the wall will have photos of people who acted like Karen’s!!!!! People can’t take jokes clearly from lookin at these comments.

A very fun place with tons of variety for your taste and aesthetically adorable! It’s a shame that people can’t take a joke and will poorly review somewhere without even trying their products! Love this business and hope to see it thrive 🤩

Love this coffee shop! Great service and great options on the menu. Saw the manager handle a literal “Karen situation” and they handled it very gracefully. If your name is Karen and you’re offended by the signs or memes, please know that you’re proving why pop cultures refer to the worst kind of customers as Karens. Move along, Karen’s. This coffee shop is here for the rest of us who can take a great joke and enjoy their amazing atmosphere.

Review №51

Literally every one star review is just a Karen upset about the “Karen meme”. This place is amazing, the coffee is great, atmosphere is great. Not every store has to be “child” friendly, this place is great. Cant wait to come back! Amazing lattes, great merchandise, funny and nice workers, love it there.

Review №52

What a cute, much needed concept. Looking forward to your growth and hope to see one in JAX, Florida some day. Love the idea and the catch phase, they are hilarious and much needed, in a time like this. Oh yeah, they are called Karen for a reason and clearly they are living up to their name but no worries, we gotcha!

Review №53

I didnt order any coffee, but I did get the overnight oats after seeing them blow-up on tiktok for their Karen marketing (honestly really funny. And if you dont get it, Id suggest using urban dictionary to look up what a Karen is. Welcome to English slang guys). As someone who is picky about the texture of overnight oats, these were great! Cant wait till Im back in the area and try some coffee.

Review №58

I’ve never actually been here, but after seeing all of the offended Karen’s posting their nasty reviews, I felt the need to leave a positive one. Obviously this is just a joke, and by leaving these negative reviews because of how sensitive you are about it honestly proves why we make the jokes to begin with. Anyways, hope business goes well for you guys! Will definitely be making the drive to actually visit this place soon :)

The fact that it’s Karen oriented makes this place 100 times better cause we all KNOW A KAREN! And boy do we all need an anti serum from them. It’s great down to the typical Karens commenting 😂😂

This place is AMAZING! I love everything about it but mostly the perfect way they handle KARENS! Lol... if youre at all offended by anything at this place, you are exactly the reason for anything Karen related at this establishment and anywhere else. IF THE SHOE FITS!

I actually don’t even know where their building is at, but what they’re selling looks SOOOO good. It caters to young people’s style and what they connect with.

Review №94

Saw this place on TikTok, and looking at all the reviews from women literally named Karen who are pressed about this shops marketing really makes me roll my eyes. Listen ladies, youre only proving the point of why the Karen meme is even a thing. No ones bullying you, no ones targeting you. Your attitude is the problem and is the entire reason No, Karen is even a common response. Check yourself, get over it, enjoy some coffee. Maybe itll help you relax :D

Im a Karen and while Im sick of the Karen memes and being made fun of for my name, I also appreciate the irony of being a Karen, while also being a Karen. Lighten up. Life is too short to have fun. Theyre a fun coffee shop. In fact they just made it high in my bucket list to visit ASAP (curse you covid!) And I hope to take a Karen selfie with their Karen sign. I love it!!!!

Love it and I like how they are in tune with the woke culture. FYI the idea of Karen is to make fun of a type of person not the literal name. But I guess when you dont have many brain cells, its hard to understand the difference. /:

My favorite drink is the anti Karen drink. Delicious and tastes like wokeness and memes. It was so crazy, after I had my first sip I had the confidence to time travel to my former waitress self and tell a Karen NO you can’t speak to the manager.
