Crema's Take
“Makisupa nails the fundamentals—clean espresso drinks, reliable cold brew, and genuinely good pastries—without any of the pretension that plagues LA coffee culture. The airy, beautifully designed space with outdoor seating makes it equally suited for focused work or lingering with friends, though service can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the bar. If you catch them on a good day, this is exactly the kind of low-key neighborhood spot worth making a regular habit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Plain bagel with vegan spread was yummy and warm, not out of this world. Would love to try their lot burrito next time. Americano had a great taste and the barista was working at the speed of lightening by herself! So props to her, there was quite the line Sunday morning :)…
Really beautifully designed cafe in the neighborhood with relaxing vibes. It’s airy and spacious, though seating is a bit more limited than your typical open cafes. Substituting standalone tables with just an adjacent seating area that has a wraparound bench, a smaller 360°…
