Crema's Take
“Loquat roasts its own beans and treats every drink like a craft project, whether you're ordering a meticulous pour over, a silky espresso, or their creative seasonal drinks like the Geisha Old Fashioned. The tiny space gets packed because the quality justifies the hype and price, though you'll need patience to find parking and a spot to sit. Go if you're serious about specialty coffee and don't mind waiting—skip it if you want a quick caffeine grab.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Coffee is good but expensive, like every other private label shop in town. The issue with this place is it’s too popular for the small space and this neighborhood, and the owners don’t care. Lots of times there’s a line out the door and people overcrowding the sidewalk on the…
Love Loquat. Been my favorite spot for a while. Great selection of roasts and they offer great options for whatever type of coffee lover you are. Espresso, pour over, cold brew, and sweet drinks. Their burritos and pastries are also phenomenal.
Espresso was amazing. Iced matcha was my favorite I’ve had in awhile. Service was great. They really took their time with everyone’s order, and you cant see the care they put into each drink. Really refreshing experience! Few tables inside. One bar top inside with four seats…
Favorite coffee shop in LA. Private label of Kumquat, they roast their own. Lots of pourover and espresso options as well as fun seasonals. The team truly does treat it like a craft and are invested in doing it well. All very friendly and kind-- especially the manager, Adrian.…
