Black Elephant Coffee (Burbank)
940 Lima St, Burbank, CA
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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

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!

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…
