Killer vibe! Such a rad little shop. The employees and owner are super friendly. They make all baked goods in house (minus the croissants) and support other local businesses in the products they sell. The coffee and cookies are on point!

Came in and had an ice coffee. Staff was friendly, quick, and made a great coffee. Thanks!

Worst experience Ive ever had at a coffee shop hands down. It was my first time there and my friend and I had questions. We asked about items but the cashier just looked at us with a blank face. We ordered two cold brews. Both people behind the counter looked at us like we were speaking a language they didnt understand and as though we didnt belong. The coffee itself didnt taste fresh. Extremely bitter. Overall, will not return. And I will definitely let other people know about the horrible service at this hipster over priced coffee shop. Gentrification is real...

You just cannot beat it! Solid and delicious coffee every time I’ve gone, cookies that are absolutely to die for, and a staff that rounds this place out to be one of the best coffee shops of all times. Puts a smile on your face and warms the cockles of the heart.

I had the vegan breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. If I was local, this would be my new go to spot for coffee every morning though! It was perfectly brewed 👌

Great service and AMAZING vegan GF salted chocolate chip cookies. Melt-your-face-off good. Also loved my english breakfast lavender latte with hemp milk.

Love this place, the owner really makes you feel like your part of a community. His wife makes really delicious sourdough bread fresh everyday. And theyre breakfast sandwiches are a great way to start the day..

Very friend and interesting cafe owner.Beautiful picture hang near the front entrance, just you stop and stare for a minutes, it really make you want to jump on your bike and start riding.Good coffee and nice place to enjoy the caffeine.

Stopped in today on a whim and was so impressed! The marinated mushroom sandwich was delicious (bread made in-house was especially great!), as was the chocolate chip cookie— but the best part was the incredible service! Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come again soon!

Jackfruit sandwich great! Vegan jerky and latte too. Nice owners who are into biking. Love this neighborhood and this is business is quality

Thoughtful service, GREAT coffee from local roasters, invested in the community and their customers. Excited to return.

Decent enough coffee and pastries, and on par with most of the other shops in the area. The people running it are very friendly and pleasant.

My Highland Park friend took me here on a walk. (His review is pending the availability of more than 5 stars.) He purchased me a Unicorn Matcha, which was super good with cow milk, but I suspect might be better with soy. The baristas were very kind, and the bidon were on point.I say bidon because they sell water bottles for bicycles, and thats what the French call them. This caught my eye, and then I realized that the back of the shop contained a bicycle repair shop, which is one of my favorite kinds of places.I could have known, since à bloc is French for balls-to-the-walls bicycling. But my French, like my bicycle, is built from overused scraps picked up from the street, and is thus rusty and disjointed, and I sometimes find a box of parts I forgot I had.This is to say, Thank you, à bloc, for combining so many things I love so much: small business, friendly people, coffee, bicycles, and words for things that I love but for which my native language neglects to express. It adds up to je ne sais quoi. Or in internet English, 👍.

Ive been walking a lot since the gyms have been closed in the mornings usually for tea and N goes for a Latte. We have been passing this place far too often and I am so glad we decided to stop in.We just felt the love, and genuine craftsmanship that goes into all the things they do, from the bike shop component to the collection of baked goods made for shop each day by the wife.We tried the gluten free banana bread. N loved it and I liked it. Flavor was there, I just prefer banana bread to be more moist. N had a latte or a mocha... And loved it, while I had a perfectly Unsweetened Matcha with Almond Milk which was more than likely finished 3 blocks from the shop, so thank God for trash day because I was able to toss the empty container right away.Totally going to walk here again!

Solid cup of coffee. Abloc is part bicycle shop too. Awesome progressive vibe and warm, friendly host. Lovely seating out front. Delicious croissants and breakfast sandwiches etc.

Friendly owner, good coffee plus tasty and varied gluten-free and vegan options from artichoke hummus to sweet & salty chocolate chip cookies.

I really love this coffee shop! I am happy that they got a new branch which was near my place. It was already convenient for my part to buy my favorite coffee every morning and evening.

Go with bacon/cheese croissant. It’s awesome. Sourdough bread loaf a meal in itself. Coffee super fresh!!

That. Chocolate. Chip. Cookie.🤯

We crave for some muffins, we tried this coffee shop because they have muffins, too. We ordered their muffin and coffee, and it was so delicious!

Abloc is a favorite! Genuine team of staff and employees that make you feel family the first time you walk in. Great coffee, amazing small bites + homemade sourdough.Also, if you ride - dont bother taking your bike anywhere else. Freddie is quick, excellent, and very generous with pricing. Hes worked on a few of my bikes and always done a phenomenal job. Other shops are quoting you a 1-2 week wait time right now for repairs. I love abloc!

Fab cafe with excellent coffee and food! Perfect place to start or end a bike ride, talk to one of the owners (Kjeld) he knows his cycling stuff and is a brilliant cyclist. You can even pick up fresh cycling kit or accessories for your ride here. Jenny makes delicious food including treats like fresh (vegan friendly) cookies and bakes her own sourdough bread, its so good. We will be back!

It is a great bicycle stop (or walk-in) for coffee and pastry, reasonable prices, probably the thickest (size wise) and the most elegantly decadent chocolate chip cookie you will ever have (I mean it) and great tasting americano. The owner serves you himself, and he is a great guy! You can get your bike taken care off too. There is a little shop in the back. NMRK

Amazing food and service! Kjeld and Jenny are running the show and what a great show it is. They are very nice and knowledgeable about whats in their food. They go as far as making their own bread. If you pass by York blvd you must stop by. Visiting from New York Im so glad I found out about this place.

à bloc might just be the friendliest business on York. Its a family business where every customer is met with a genuine smile. The cafe bites are delicious and there are always vegan options. The coffee stands out in a crowded field. While à bloc caters to some pretty serious cycling jocks, riders of all levels are warmly welcomed

Best coffee shop in Highland Park. The owner is extremely friendly, and the drinks/food are both excellent. When it first opened, I assumed it was only a bicycle cafe, and I wouldnt really fit in because Im not a cyclist. However, its a great coffee shop for anyone!

My moms friend recommended this coffee shop when in North Hollywood. I stopped in yesterday and ordered the avocado toast. It only took a few minutes to arrive at my table and it was very good. I wasnt in the mood for an iced latte but I made a mental note that they have some of my favorite flavors (matcha, horchata, and rose lavender!) so I will definitely have to stop in again to try one of those. Ive only seen rose lavender coffee drinks in Ktown so its nice to know I can now get one closer to home in the SFV. Service was very friendly and parking was easy to find on the street a couple of storefronts down.

THIS WAS THE MOST LOVELY COFFEE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. The amazingly-spirited man who took our order took his time with each customer, having genuine conversation and honestly just charming the pants of off all. The coffee itself is good, the food is out of this woooorld, full of vegan and gluten free options, and the general atmosphere is so kitsch, half bike shop, half café. Come here for warm drinks and souls!

Great coffee stop to chat all things cycling in great friendly atmosphere.

I got the bra-vo toast and lavender latte. Very delicious and filling. My friends got the truffle toast and avo cuddle and were also very satisfied. The atmosphere and decor is also very cute and the staff was friendly

The food and coffee are nothing short of amazing. Also the best customer service I have experienced in such a long time. Cheers!

We stumbled upon à Bloc as my daughters and I were looking for a late breakfast place. The food was really good. The vegan sandwich flavor was amazing, although a tad too salty. My daughters eyes lit up when she tasted it and said, I did not expect that! Thats amazing!One daughter had the vegetarian burrito. While I later enjoyed it as dinner leftovers, it was a little too healthy for her. Large chunks of brussel sprouts and eggplant, while tasty, were a bit tough to chew for a kid who has braces.My other daughter had granola, yogurt and fruit. The granola was incredible. Made by a friend of the owner. Keep that friend!A note for people wanting to reduce waste: They do use plastic cups, straws and waxed paper bowls, so bring your own and ask them to use your reusable stuff. Unfortunately, the granola is pre-measured into the waxed paper bowls, so that one is a loss. I do give them high marks, though, for providing proper metal utensils and their use of paper and aluminum on their to-go food was admirable. I probably wouldnt come back of theyd used plastic or styrofoam.One suggestion I have for the owners is this: Since a lot of your hot food requires heating by toaster oven, I think another oven is in order. Or, make them fresh. If its going to take 10 minutes anyway, making the food to order might be better. Either way, though, well be back.

I always come here whenever I want to relax. This is the best place for me when it comes to relaxing. Awesome coffee and best service.

I may have scoffed a bit at the vegan/gluten-free chocolate chip cookie being called the best in LA but by God they may have done it.

I’m not cyclists but do enjoy a good cup of coffee. I had a cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich both were very good. Excellent customer service!

Awesome coffee shop that leans towards bicycle shop. The coffee is great, all the food and pastries are delicious especially the vegan breakfast sandwich. I am in no way a vegan but I love that little sandwich. You can also get cycling clothing and they have a bike mechanic in the back.

Delicious coffee and food, and super friendly place to sit and relax. Got to try the sourdough bread that is fresh baked in house, it is fantastic!

Excellent coffee and eats. Very friendly and passionate owner

We also stopped by for afternoon cakes which were gorgeous, the chocolate brownies and the banana and pineapple muffins were to die for!

Great space. Wonderfully friendly staff. Very inclusive and engaging especially if youre into cycling of any kind. The coffee is quite good and pastries are better then most in the area.

If you’re looking for a coffee that tastes like those in Europe (not super bitter, delicious, smooth and easy to drink) but with the kick of American expectations (i.e. 2 shots of espresso) this is the place! Easily the best Americano I’ve had in LA.I had the 2.0 mushroom sandwich today at it did not disappoint! The mushrooms were piled up so high that I thought it was a brisket sandwich from far away. The filling was a pile of mushrooms and homemade hummus - YUM. While I loved the homemade sourdough I think the texture of the bread is too dense to be 1 inch thick on either side of the sandwich. I think the slices of bread on the sandwich should be half as thick. Save the big chunks of bread w/ this texture for dipping in soups or open faced sandwiches. Or change the texture of the bread to be lighter. Another random idea (vegan brisket?!) -- get some crispy/charred sections on the mushrooms to add some variety in texture to the filling.Really appreciate their openness about making iterations and improvement on their already delicious food, makes me want to check in every week to see whats been tried. Cant wait to try to jackfruit sandwich sometime!

Came in for a coffee, came back and got my bike fixed. Great coffee good service. I recommend it.

Passion meets people for the betterment of the community

Great coffee in the area. The shop caters towards cyclists and the coffee is quite good. The cold brew is smooth and the espresso has a nice roast to it.

The coffee and the pastries are perfect match. Everything is delicious!

Great place for Coffee and Food, great place to meet people into cycling, see a lot groups meeting here for rides

Tasty grub and good coffee. Really helpful introduction to the area for cycling with regular group rides and relaxed atmosphere. Happy to let me park the bike inside and chat.

Very friendly and personable staff.. also had an incredible Korean bbq jackfruit sandwich

The coffee is great and the service very friendly and welcoming. I love meeting friends here.

Great tasty products, awesome atmosphere and great customer service!!!

Johnny and Kat are super cool and friendly! They also organize rides and have a small selection of apparel. A great addition to the HP community!

I was first introduced to this coffee shop through a ride that they hosted, which was followed up by a crawfish boil. Awesome, friendly owners, and they’ve created something really amazing for the cycling community. Delicious food and a really creative, thoughtful menu. It’s the kind of hybrid bike shop / coffee shop that cyclists dream of.

The selection of generally healthy foods is great and the employees are really nice and helpful!!

This place seems a bit schizophrenic at first. Is it a coffee bar? A restaurant? A bike shop? A bike club? A retail store? After grabbing a coffee, the sweet british guy was kind enough to tell us where the beans came from and who roasted, I think it was a 50/50 from Ethipoia, btw- the best cup of coffee Ive had. It was not bitter at all and didnt need my usual splash of half & half to mask any bitterness.I wasnt sure what to order so he suggested to try their famous vegan breakfast sandwich. For $6, it was an easy sell, even though Im not vegan. OMG, I can see why its famous! The meat replacement patty tasted like a real sausage! They nailed it. The hubs grabbed a ham and swiss croissant sandwich(also $6) and a cold brew. I took a bite of his sandwich and Im shocked you can get something this delicious for this price in LA.As we waited for our food to heat up, we walked around and noticed you could bring your bike into the store and that most of the motif was bike related. They also have a bike mechanic who was in the corner working on someones bike. Im not a bike rider, but my hubby is so he was geeking out over the clothes and accessories. Im a Target shopper so the sticker shock on the bike shirts was for real.Overall, we both really liked this little shop and the identity crisis is not an issue because all of it works together nicely. I loved the coffee, the food and the prices, my hubby liked the bike related stuff and loved his croissant sandwich and cold brew. We will definitely be back. And now we know where to go when it gets stupid hot again this summer.

Good coffee with nice atmosphere. Sandwich I got there was pretty good. Bike themed, so lots people in spandex there.

Great coffee, service and food. Would be there every morning if we lived here!

Great coffee. Great grab and go food made fresh every day. Great people working there.

Always a friendly staff and they know me by name.

A cool little cyclist themed coffee shop in trendy Highland Park. Minimal in design, they offer up tasty baked treats and a mean cup of joe.

Good all around. Im a bike rider and they have group bike rides all week round. Friendly and solid food and coffee or course.

This is such a cute spot! Super friendly staff, really cool cycling gear and the Veggie Hummus sandwich was excellent!

Excellent coffee. Super friendly barista!

Owner is fantastic. Cold brew is delicious.

They have great coffee and wonderful customer service!

Outrageously cool spot. Probably the best coffee in highland park

Take it easy at a place where the name is French for go hard.

My favorite coffee shop. Johnny leads the best rides!

Great coffee shop and spot for cyclists! Food is great!

Dope spot. Great high ceilings and primo coffee.

Excellent coffee and owner. Delicious snacks with a cycling theme.

Must go for a quick Vegan breakfast bite.
