I went to this coffee shop because I needed some energy for my day. Their apartment was nice, tidy, and appealing to the eye. Their staff was also extremely entertaining, friendly, and fun. I admired how he kept me amused. It was enthralling and knowledgeable. Aside from that, their coffee was excellent, with a nice aroma and a strong flavor. It was fantastic!

The White Cheddar Soft Scramble was delicious and the Cold Brew was yummy! 😋 They are super friendly and the coffee shop has a cool and modern vibe! And they offer a great variety of drinks and food. I can’t wait to try more items in their menu. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this place!

Spent $18 on a sandwich and iced latte when this guy walks in with two wet dogs. The cashier fed them near the kitchen after they walked passed me. I felt a hive on my leg since I’m allergic to dogs. I asked for a refund on the sandwich, Barista said he’s sorry that’s how I feel in a dgaf tone. He also said it was out of his control, so I left the coffee on the counter and walked out. If you can enforce a mask policy, you can enforce an animal policy.Why are wet dogs allowed in cafes where people eat and somehow I’m the problem?Gross.

Congratulations! I keep coming back because their coffee and cakes are so well priced and delicious. I still went to this coffee shop because I needed to take a break. I liked the location because it was both elegant and calming. They even easily serve my orders. It was the best experience Ive ever had!

Though I like drinks there, I am somewhat less than excited to get drinks there. The prices for same drink flex every time I get it. Not sure why. However, the drinks are super tasty, especially the blueberry matcha latte.

I had a great time at this coffee shop! I thought the atmosphere and setting were welcoming, humid, and friendly, and I appreciated the range of seating options. I really liked the separate room that could be used for groups. This coffee shop seemed to me to be a coffeehouse that caters to tourists who are trying to get work done, which I felt was commendable!

Excellent coffee and spot! Its a very cool place with relatively low prices in contrast to the other coffee shops. I recommend going there to connect to their fast internet or to read a book while sipping a delicious cup of coffee. Excellent place!

I dropped by at this coffee shop to have some hot drinks, and honestly, the taste was perfect! I did not have high expectations, but If this is the kind of coffee they served, I will surely come back! I would be just as satisfied! It is a great place which perfectly offers normal prices. I can absolutely recommend it!

The coffee shop was very organized and tidy! I am very pleased that my friend told me about your big and beautiful store. The staff greeted me with a beautiful smile when I went to the store. I also noticed that to have a meeting and to research if you are a student, the place was quite convenient. What a fun place, boys!

Im a 100% happy client here! I passed by this lovely and cozy coffee shop last Monday evening. When my favorite coffee was available in their store, I was so pleased. I was so pleased and happy with the overall service you had. Thanks, boys, to all of you! Only until next time! Cheers from more buyers!

We came here for coffee last week because we wanted to spend some time here. We enjoy talking over a cup of coffee. This location was chosen because it is one of the best coffee shops in the area. Maybe you think youre drinking hot chocolate because coffee is overshadowed by chocolate. Its definitely worth a shot!

She did a fantastic job with my hair. She really pays attention to what I want and gives me exactly what I want, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. She keeps me entertained throughout the service and never fails to satisfactorily answer any of my questions. Maintain your calm. Strongly recommended!

This is my all-time favorite coffee shop! Both the coffee and the food were tasty and moderately priced. A very pleasant ambiance and a very comfortable atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and went over and beyond to help me with all of my questions. The wi-fi connections are also really good. It comes with a strong recommendation!

If youre looking for a coffee shop with delicious desserts, this is the place to go! It offers free WiFi as well as a smoking area (if youre a smoker) inside the venue. The staff/waiters are often cheerful and polite. There was coffee on hand, and the food was outstanding. Its a good price and a nice atmosphere!

Urban gem! Great quick bites selection. Had an amazing pour over that brings it together a mellow acidity and a strong caramel sweetness, perhaps with a nutty undertone. Sweet and medium-bodied black symphony! Will come back again!

Its because I love reading books over a cup of coffee that I always choose this place. For me, this is the best place. Whenever you wanted to try different flavors in a day, they had a warm and welcoming team to support you and they would also recommend beautiful books to read. I loved this place for real!

When it comes to serving coffee and pastries, this coffee shop is really on top. When it comes to their coffee, they definitely have the best taste, and I have to say that these guys really are the best. Also, the atmosphere is truly awesome in this place, and I would be happy to recommend this coffee shop to everyone. Well, THANKS!

I was on a business trip to see where to go for breakfast and searched online. It seemed that this coffee shop was a good choice, and it was!

I absolutely love this place! Youll likely find me here on Sundays now. No joke....Ill be the bum in sweats and sandals with my coffee and reading material, scattered over 2 tables LOL. Ive had Blackwood Coffee Bar bookmarked for almost a year, but havent made time to swing by. I had a meeting and found the perfect opportunity to drop in. Huge fan of the décor, the space, location, and fantastic cold brew. Theres a nice selection of pastries as well. I didnt have the opportunity to try one, but theres always next time. While the space does look small from the outside, they have plenty of seating inside; along with outdoor seating.Street Metered parking in the area. However, no parking enforcement on Sundays. That why Ill be here on Sundays.Sidenote: Theyve already gone strawless, and have cute sippy cup type lids.

Review №35

I got the morningwood which was a fantastic drink but I wanted to share a review regarding the wifi situation. I was passing through LA and stopped to do some early morning writing. After I ordered my drink I inquired about the wifi. The barista kindly informed me that there was no wifi and this was to discourage people from lingering for too long. As someone who goes to coffee shops all over the country I wanted to share my perspective. There is an assumption that people who post up at a coffee shop only spend $3 on a cheap drip coffee and spend 8 hours hogging your wifi. That is not always the case. Its not uncommon to find a digital nomad buying two drinks and a pastry during a 3-4 hour work session. The lack of wifi (and outlets) signals this is not a welcoming space for visitors.

Very smooth coffee - the service was excellent and quick. Being on sunset you expect high prices but it was actually pretty normal for a latte and a americano. I would definitely come back.

Review №39

What can I say? A lot I suppose since I’m writing a review. Well, so be it. Blackwood delivers the most consistently exquisite oat cappuccino this side of LaBrea (stretching alllllll the way down towards the Monica’s of Santa). Hands down. It’s become a go-to stop after Runyon. Smooth, balanced, perfect temperature, it’s consumed far quicker than I’d prefer. If their cappity caps are this consistent then I can’t help but think every dang item offered is just as excellent. And they have a second location soon to open even closer to home! Bless. To live in a time. Check ‘em out, give ‘em some love.

I like the place and enjoyed coming here with friends.But. They charge extra +$1 for a few drops of almond milk. Where it should be vice versa - the dairy industry polutes the planet and tourhces animals.

Blackwood is your ideal neighborhood coffee shop. Its small, quaint and super chill. The space is narrow with indoor and outdoor seating and is decorated super cute. The outdoor seating is sprinkled with succulents and is set up with comfy chairs. Inside they have cozy seating and lots of little goodies to peruse through, my favorites being the cannabis confections. They offer flavorful coffee, yummy pastries and savory breakfast options. They also have a fridge with some breakfast items and drinks to go. Every single person that works here is so very kind and helpful. We loved our Latin cold brews and breakfast sandwiches. Im so thankful to have this gem in my neighborhood and will definitely be back.

Review №58

The neighborhood coffee bar! The folks that work here are really nice and I love the ambience - it is a small space though and sometimes very crowded. If you go at just the right time during the day you can find a good spot. They open pretty early but then also close early. I have enjoyed many productive work days here and like taking friends over too. They started with only drinks but soon offered pastries and then select breakfast items as well. Love the hot chocolate here and the avocado toast as well. Highly recommended!

The coffee shop itself is part arthouse, part coffee shop in a small town. They have coffee and some pastries and some small breakfast things like quiche.

Review №63

The ambience is nice. Service alright. Food looked good but we didnt get any. So this review is going to be more based on what we got which was thought to be freshly squeezed orange juice and iced coffee. Ice coffee was decent, different but not bad. The orange juice was awful and tasted like expired Tropicana juice.

Super good coffee. Love the outdoor seating where I can have my dog with me. First time there the manager, Ian Burnside, came by and offered breakfast suggestions. We had the avocado toast with egg. It was delicious. Went back the next day and had the same thing. Very clean, lovely decor, extra friendly staff. My new favorite!

Review №65

Five stars for the coffee. The coffee here is excellent. I got an americano and the crema was on point. Flavor was full. Just awesome. The decor is modern and nice. Good amount of seating for a smaller sized cafe.The ordering experience wasnt very pleasant. The woman behind the counter just stared at me waiting for me to order. No hi, hello, or what can I get you? I waited for a moment for her to say something but she just gave me a look of order already, lady. It was actually pretty bizarre.

I love this little spot! Great place for a Sunday morning latte and breakfast sandwich. I had their tacos as well (I can’t remember which) and they were delicious! The one drawback is no public WiFi during “normal working” hours but they don’t have the capacity for people staying for hours on end. All in all, a must visit if you’re in the area!

Stopped by for a cup of joe after hiking Runyon Canyon. This spot was a quick walk from the main park entrance so it was nice to be able to walk without having to worry about parking. The staff was fast and friendly and the ambiance was nice and casual. Unfortunately, the coffee was underwhelming. I got a regular pour over and it wasnt very good. I drink coffee black btw so others who take it with cream and sugar may like it better.

If I had to sum this place up it would have to be adult contemporary coffee. Basically what youd expect from a more boutique coffee place. Coffees. Espressos. Teas. Baked Goods. A few comfy chairs, tables, bench seating, a few outdoor seats. Bathroom was 4/4.5 out of 5.

The cashier from the mornings of 1/11/18 and 1/12/18 was super nice! Hes the main reason I came back. The latte was luke warm and the coffee wasnt hot enough. However, the taste was good and the atmosphere is clean and cool. One size cups is nice and simple, but makes things slightly overpriced. The yogurt with fruit and granola was amazing! Id rather support a local/small company like this so Ill go back.

First time I stopped by here I tried their Lavender Honey Latté and it did not disappoint. I also tried their breakfast sandwich, which was also delicious. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. My next visit I wanted to try something different so I got the Rose Cardamom Latté. While I am usually not a fan of roses in my food or drink it was a refreshing and tasty. Check this coffee shop out if you can.

One of the best coffee places in LA. Batistas definitely know what they are doing, great espresso, hip atmosphere, nice art, selection of magazines.Can get crowded, but thats what you get if you are one of few places serving really great coffee. Im a European coffee snob of course 😺
