Crema's Take

Black Elephant Coffee is a hidden gem in Burbank where serious espresso craftsmanship meets a genuinely beautiful space, complete with cozy couch seating and a succulent-lined patio that feels like a retreat from the city. Their matcha program is exceptional—especially their signature Rose Matcha Latte with rose petals—and while lattes run around $6, reviewers consistently note that you're actually getting the quality you're paying for, a rarity in LA. It's the kind of place where friendly baristas get your order right the first time and the vibe encourages you to linger, making it equally perfect for a solo coffee moment or meeting a friend.

Good coffee and espresso! Yes, they are pricey ($6 lattes) but at least you get a nice cup of coffee for the price - not always a guarantee in LA. Staff are friendly and my order was made right away, even at times when there was a line. They pay attention to customers and make sure orders are placed and made timely. I like the patio too!! There are no frills here but it’s better for that fact - nice chill place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Stumbled across this place while going on a walk on Mongolia. Beautiful inside, didn’t go on a too busy of a time so was able to chill in the couch seating they have. The baristas were able to recommend drinks to me. I tried the Charcoal Rose Latte (made it half sweet) and it was so good. Very refreshing and a different drink I have never tried before. So many drinks to choose from! Would definitely come in again!

This is my favorite place to drink matcha, it is the best taste ever - strong and very high quality. I especially recommend “Rose Matcha Latte” with rose petals on top and “Lavender Matcha Latte”, also the “Sage Ham & Cheese Croissant” is great!

Black Elephant Coffee is a hidden gem in Burbank for true coffee lovers. You can tell they’re fully focused on making the best brews, everything from their espresso to specialty drinks is top-tier. The staff is friendly, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. However, the space is more suited for relaxing or catching up with a friend than for working or business meetings, limited seating and not the most laptop-friendly setup. Still, if you’re here for the coffee, you won’t be disappointed.

Love the vibe here! Right off Magnolia, this coffee shop has beautiful indoor and outdoor design. If it wasn’t so cold outside, I would’ve enjoyed breakfast on their succulent-lined patio. Long line but fast and efficient, you can tell lots of locals go here. While I was briefly waiting for my americano, i was enjoying all the artwork on the walls. Cool spot, highly recommend you try their brew!
