Great tasting coffee and loved the way the set it up ordering on your phone. Scan the QR code and place your order. It said it would take 15 minutes, but it was actually ready in about 5. Well be glad to come back again soon to try other ones. Oh, they also sell beautiful plants from a local shop (Leaf and Spine) for a good price.

Customer service is A++! Mo is consistently sweet and takes the time to go questions without being impatient.I got a hot Mischief and love the cayenne and chocolate together. I also ordered the Cheezus and Mo recommended adding an egg. AMAZING.My friends both got the Noxi and the eggs were so perfect.Oh! I also got a plant! Im making her lil Mo

This place is rather quaint. Its an interesting space with a few wooden chairs. They have a bit of merchandise that looks like it supports local artists which is cool. The staff was super helpful and they dont charge extra for almond or soy milk!I drank their signature Kindness drink. It wasnt very strong at all. Tasted more like almond/coconut milk than coffee. However I like coffee relatively strong and power packed. Plenty of street meter parking.

Every single time I come im never disappointed. I dont mind the drive from south LA. First time trying butterbeer really good

CAN THIS BE THE CAFE ON THE BLOCK WITH THE BEST ESPRESSO PULLS?!?Letsssssgoooooo!!!

Great matcha and great staff. Cute merch too

Its an awesome little coffee shop. Also a good place to campout at to study/work

Beautiful interior. High ceilings and artistic. Serves breakfast but only had coffee and a matcha lemonade. Coffee was ok but the matcha lemonade was refreshing -- maybe a bit sweet. Service was fine but not very warm or friendly.

Iced coffee and a lemon-blueberry scone. Both were delicious and the service is friendly, quick, and with reasonable prices. The place is clean and bright, a good place for a quick stop or time with friends. There are lots of independent coffee places around here and this is among the best.

I love this coffee shop! Great coffee, delicious food and good prices. Not to mention, the customer service is always great!

This bright cheerful shop on Figueroa serves absolutely top-notch espresso and coffee, sourcing their beans, when I was there, from Onyx coffee out of Arkansas, a favorite third-wave roaster. There’s seating for around 20 inside, including a sun-filled window seat, and a couple tables on the sidewalk outside. Pastries were inconsistent when I was there. While a butter croissant was excellent, a scone was so dry it crumbled to dust. They also offer donuts and muffins. But the coffee and espresso are worth five stars. They also do a few signature drinks, with ingredients like turmeric or hot chili. A great spot.

Really amazing coffee and a huge variety of beans. I got the cold brew, but Id just get the Mischief if I were you.

Im quite surprised that I havent written a review here, considering this is my favorite coffee shop in the Highland Park area. Always not busy, always have great customer service and always has great coffee. Im usually a Kindness of Mischief kind of person, depending on my mood (like its fellow mascot), so I cant vouch for the other coffee drinks.And who else cant resist a fox mascot?

Love the coffee, love the shop, love the friendly staff; and they let me bring my well behaved dog and gave him a new name, Tito 🐶

First impressions mean alot and my first impression of this place was YUCK!The coffee was super bitter and the pastry that I selected was rubbery because it was undercooked. This is a charming little place with nice healthy houseplants for sale along with other nicknacks but my taste buds were very disappointed. I will not be returning.

This has become my new favorite coffee shop!Parking has been always super easy to find, always out in front in one of the meter spots.K&M has been observing strict COVID rules, calling out customers who arent adhering to their social-distant markers inside. They have plexiglass, and they even have a little microphone/speaker to make communicating with the baristas behind the counter easier to hear.They have seasonal menu items, and every item so far has been a hit. Right now, theyre still on their Winter menu (California in Winter which is like a coffee cocktail spritzer), but my favorite is their Miso Caramel Latte iced. Wow, its such an odd pairing that I was surprised how much I love it.The inside of the store has house plants for sale, and they have a lot of neat K&M branded merchandise, including a selection of their coffee beans.

Great espresso from Ethiopia, smooth and nutty.

No decaf, no wifi, and no bathroom :(

Great service. Super cute. Love the iced matcha! 10/10 would recommend.

Great coffee..Really enjoyed the sparkling matcha; reminded me of Ginza.

Super cute store and good coffee. However, an older lady there gave me some serious attitude when I, forgetting if I had ordered an iced or hot drink, approached her and asked to confirm. What I got in return was a nasty look, and without saying anything, she took a bigger clear plastic cup, poured the contents of my drink into it, filling it halfway, then touching the mouth piece of the lid as she put it on, walked away. I asked for more ice, wanting the cup to be a lil more full, and she begrudging took it, and gave me a few ice cubes, drink still half-full.Despite Leaf & Spine being the biggest pull for me there, Im not coming back. There are really great coffee places around the neighborhood and that passive negativity is not very welcoming. All the other baristas there, though, are awesome and friendly and I have had only good experiences with them. Hence, the 4 stars.

The coffee was great, some baristas seem to scoff at making Americanos but they made a delicious one with care.

My husband and I love this place! Awesome staff and customer service, coffee is perfect every time, and the food is delicious!!! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself!!!

This place has a delightful vibe, with brick walls, wood tables, and festive garlands! The staff were incredibly helpful and lived out the kindness aspect of the shops name. My friend and I both got pumpkin lattes made with rooibos tea and agreed that the cup was full of cozy, fall happiness. Almond and soy milk were both options. We also split the ube biscuit, which the staff warmed for us. Quite tasty and unique!

Delicious coffee and sweet staff!

Great coffee and super cool staff!

Got to get some coffee during lockdown. i havent had anything pro level in a while and this coffee lit me up! so tasty. thanks K&M

What a great place to drink coffee, study, work, relax!

Holy ish..... Get here immediately. Nice staff, amazing drinks with vegan options. Love it. Will be back.

Great service, great coffee. Loved it!

Cold service

This place has probably some of the friendliest and most uplifting people working. If you have a bad day or wake up cranky, just home here and they make you feel better with a lot of smiles. In addition to that, they serve some really good coffee. Its well balanced and they know how to do a real Flat White. The architecture and design of the place is great and bright. Ill certainly stop by here again when I am in the area. Keep up the great work guys!

Drinks are always good and the staff is friendly

Coffee was good, service was quick, and lots of seating inside and outside. I will have to try some of the baked goods the next time I go.

Really chill place to hang out. Coffee is good, I do prefer mine a bit stronger but good nonetheless. ☕

Popped in here on a rainy cold day and it was packed! Definitely a good sign that a shop is crowded, despite rainy weather.Parking - I parked on a side street about a block away (metered parking). Not really sure if they monitor the area or not, but it didnt look like too many people actually put money in their meters (lots of red flashing lights, haha).Greeted by all smiles and a warm room was definitely what I needed on a cold Wednesday afternoon.I opted to go with the cold brew and a vegan churro donut, probably one of my better life choices of 2019. The cold brew was an excellent price compared to other coffee shops Ive been too and the donut was right in the same ballpark. The brew was bright, fruity, and clean, extremely smooth! Top that off with a warm, churro donut, and I was perfectly content.Check them out and you wont be disappointed! Cant wait until I come back again!

Seems cool place, but no WiFi so was waste of my time and money as I didn’t realize until after I bought and sat down

Always make sure to stop here at least once when we visit. Amazing coffee and everyone is super friendly 💜🌟🦊

I was told to come here by a friend after I told him I visited Civil Coffee down the street. Nothing really wrong with civil, but Kindness & Mischief far surpassed my expectations. The staff greeted me the second I walked in and were so friendly. The cold brew was delicious, and the ambience was completely unpretentious and cozy. Im so happy I stopped by!

I love this place. Excellent coffee and ambiance. Trendy but sincere. Very comfortable atmosphere. Great food too. Great for socializing, contemplation, reading and web diving. Very close to Gold Line Station.

I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Kindness & Mischief on our interview date.Don’t let adorably compact storefronts fool you, because in the case of Kindness & Mischief, you really won’t understand why it’s one of Highland Park’s beloved coffeeshops until you take the chance to step inside. In an instant, you will be enveloped in the warmth of the fresh scent of roasted coffee as well as an obvious sense of community that spans from the ‘Mischief Library’ at the store’s entrance its patrons to its staff. Barstool-style tables give visitors a chance to meet someone new in their neighborhood, while bistro sets line its brick walls provide an intimate experience for duos and busy bees alike. A fun addition to the shop comes in the form is a dainty reading nook-like perch at the front of the store, in which its windows peer out to the two tables outside as well as being able to engage in a fun people watching session.In terms of their menu, Kindness & Mischief does their best to provide a menu that’s comprised of classic coffee favorites, choices for tea-lovers, seasonal and house specials (such as the Kindness Latte), and options for those who *gasp* might not want a caffeinated beverage. They also strive to introduce customers to yummy pastries provided by local bakeries like Creme Caramel LA and The Caffeinated Kitchen, which include vegan options so everyone can enjoy something scrumptious. A menu highlight for me, and anyone who may need or prefer milk alternatives, is the fact that they do not charge extra for a substitute, which normally costs at least $1 everywhere else. Its attention to menu options really shows the shop’s dedication to fulfill every type of customer’s needs, and as a coffee lover, entices me to want to come back again and again.

I accidentally came in here with my friend Jack. He thought it was a typewriter store and wanted to buy a paper reel so we could write a really long complaint letter to the white house and ask if we could hide in Trumps bed and spook him out by putting fake spiders on his pillow. Any way. Turns out its a coffee shop. So that was nice.

Incredible coffee shop we stumbled across on a recent trip to LA. Absolutely will be back the next time Im in town, and highly recommend you check it out! The coffee is strong and delicious with plenty of options for espresso drinks, nut milks, etc., and the food is great too - try the frittata for breakfast. Theres a good amount of small table seating, some low key music that isnt too loud to keep you from concentrating on a book or work, a bathroom, and lots of lovely natural light from the windows. The staff is super friendly, and theyve got a cool heart behind their business - for example, a leave one, take one book library just outside the front door, and a pay it forward type policy where you can pay them for a cup of coffee that theyll give to someone who later comes in and has forgotten their money or is homeless/cant pay for their coffee. Such a big fan and cant wait to come back!

Small simple place. Good if you want to to drink some coffee and sit on you laptop. Not really for food though and bring a hot spot because I dont believe they have wifi. But the nice thing about it is the simplicity.

Love this place, Mo and the whole team always remember who you are and they take care of their neighbors.

Cute spot for coffee. Everyone is friendly. Its small and its not cheap. But Id still say come here and support the place.

Great coffee spot to chill and read a book/study/have a nice conversation with company in. Check out their selection of coffee beans (including some that are roasted by them!), plenty of flavor profiles to choose from.

I LOVE that they don’t charge extra for non-dairy milks. That’s so great!

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area. Both their espresso and coffee drinks are very good. The cold brew is made with a great combination of spices and has low acidity.

Love love Mo and her staff. They do a fantastic job to ensure you have a good experience. Every detail from the beverage selection (ask about the Kind cup :)) to the perfectly sculpted, locally sourced mugs and ambiance makes this my favorite coffee spot in LA. Mo truly exudes the qualities of an amazing pay it forward human.

Me and my cousin frequent this place because we grew up in Highland Park and she still lives there. I love their tea and scones on a Sunday morning.

The pastries are delicious, and you must try the cold brew - the coffee gives off a fruity vibe. I came here every day while vacationing in the area.

Drawn in by the name, positively magnetized by the vibe & remarkable, genuine sweetness of the staff.Excellent coffee, reasonable prices with a playful, sharp atmosphere. Cant wait to come back next time Im in Highland Park!

This coffee shop has everything right : excellent coffee and pastries, good vibes, friendly staff, beautiful space and good location. I wish i lived next door !

What more can you ask for, Fantastic selection of coffees, teas, homemade cakes and food very clean and well run with happy and helpful staff, all this with the added bonus of gluten free cakes, air con, Wi-Fi.

If you are anywhere near Highland Park, you MUST try it. I had the Matcha Latte and the Pabo Sandwich. Both excellent! Mo, the owner, is SO sweet and her happiness is infectious! She told me about how when they renovated, they gutted the entire building, built all of the furniture from scratch, and exposed a beautiful original brick wall! Such an incredible atmosphere.

Love the people that work here. They also offer a multiple non-dairy choices for your coffee. Plus yummy treats!

The atmosphere is charming and inviting. Ive never had a bad experience with the employees, they are always genuinely warm and welcoming. And the tea and coffee is delicious!!

Always a warm smile and a friendly vibe in here. Regular people of all different appearances are welcome here with zero hipster antagonism. Best coffee spot on Fig

I wish I lived closer to K&M because it is hands-down my favorite coffee shop in LA. Clean and simple decor, great music (never too loud, which I really appreciate), AMAZING and sweet baristas, wooonderful coffee, and they don’t charge extra for plant-based milks!

Always an amazing experience at this coffee shop. Ive been to many different coffee shops, and I can say that this one is one-of-a-kind.

Kindness is the first word in the name for a reason. Super nice people. Good coffee and not overpriced. Go.

They dont charge for alternative milk and do frequent fundraisers for social justice causes. Good coffee and good values!

Great pour over!! I also really like the window seating, a great place to read and relax

Service is incredibly nice and genuine. Their pasties are very yummy! Coffee is quality and well crafted.

Great! Friendly staff, great ambience and the best americano Ive ever had! Also, theyre dog friendly which is a huge plus for us!

The staff was really friendly, atmosphere was clean and cute, drinks were yummy, and the barista took time to learn all our names. Definitely dont back .

Friendly to the point where it feels a little weird. Know what I mean? Good coffee though.

Great new spot on Fig. Like the coffee and friendly staff (more than the other guys up the street for sure ;) Music is on point and Ive seen a good depth of experience with staff from some of LAs better shops in the mix. On my 8th visit, coming in about twice a month. Theyre still refining the finer points of their operations and Ill happily up my rating when they do.

The food is good but overpriced for what you get. Coffee is good but Ive had it just as good for cheaper.

Locally owned coffee shop that opened up this week! Really cute shop with free wifi and quiet atmosphere. Great place for a meeting. I got the matcha latte which was delicious. My new favorite drink!

Friendliest cafe in HP, highly recommend. Fantastic coffee and food too. No wifi but public city wifi is within range

Love the relaxed atmosphere and incredible baristas. They’ve got the best espressos and oat matcha lattes ;))

Hip little spot with a great vibe and all the options.

Had a very delicious cortado and the cold brew was also surprisingly good even though Im not a big fan of the brew method.

Beautiful space. Super kind staff. And very, very good coffee.

Great coffee, food, service and atmosphere!

Match Lemonade was very good

Great coffee but not the best place to work from. They don’t have WiFi

Good coffee, friendly staff. Not very comfortable seating, and a bit overpriced.

While its a gorgeous place, my main gripe concerns the lack of comfort one feels when attempting to work. Theres no visible Wi-Fi network associated with the cafe and no sign indicating one even exists. The coffee is ok, at best, and at such a cost, youre better off supporting another independent location.(Also, no Splenda!) However, dont despair! If you wish to go out on a date or have a moment of solitude, this is the place!

Outstanding customer service. Staff are enegetic and bright - what I need in the morning to set the days mood.

Of the new (2016) coffee shops on Fig, this is the nicest and least pretentious. They have a pleasant modern aesthetics.

This is my favorite coffee shop in HP because theyre just so nice!

Non-pretentious specialty coffee I Northeast Los Angeles. Great, friendly baristas and delicious pastries and quick eats.

Great ambience. Great service. Really nice place.

Great location in the heart of Highland Park, comfortable and hip vibes, and a matcha latte that is extraordinary!

My fiancé and I swung by for a matcha, croissant and tea. It was all so good and Mo is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend!

Amazing coffee, sincere service, and a wonderful place to spend time.

Neat coffee shop, but no vanilla latte. Service was ok.

Nothing incredible or unique, but a nice coffee shop on the main drag in highland park.

Beautiful and cozy space to get yourself caffeinated! Coffee is delicious too!

Enthusiastic and hip coffee shop, full of 20 somethings. Wall art and knick nacks for sale. Limited seating and loud music. $9 dollar panini was small and lack luster.

Five stars is understated... k&m is tied for Best Coffee Shop in the Galaxy.

Wonderful space, relaxing, calming music and my chai latte was perfect!

A fantastic spot for truly delicious coffee.

I love everything about this place! The coffee, the people, the atmosphere, and most of all, the kindness!!

Lovely little place. Amazing coffee!!

Good coffee with nice unique flavors.

Lots of kindness, no mischief. Good cappuccino..
