Crema's Take

Established Today is a beautifully designed hybrid space that pairs excellent espresso and ceremonial-grade matcha with a curated record store and vintage arcade machines, creating an atmosphere that's equally suited for serious coffee appreciation or leisurely hangouts. The baristas pull consistently high-quality shots that shine in their lattes, and the vinyl-lined interior with great sound systems makes it feel less like a coffee shop and more like a cultural gathering spot in Los Angeles. Fair warning: recent cup redesigns have made the sizes inconveniently small, though the welcoming vibe and ample seating for both meetings and solo work sessions keep people coming back.

This is such a special place. First, outstanding lattes, very high quality espresso and matcha quality. If you appreciate ceremonial grade matcha, you will love their drinks. Everything is so thoughtful, the seating, the atmosphere / interior design, and of course the record stations. Just brilliant. In the back they have video games and an awesome burger pop up. Misha and his team couldn’t be more welcoming. A+

I’ve come here a few times and always enjoyed myself and the drinks. Unfortunately, they recently changed the cup shapes and now the sizes are ridiculously small and inconvenient to use with any straw, all for the same overpriced amount. It’s disappointing as the rest of the cafe is great, especially the vibes and staff; however due to this change and what feels like disrespect to the customer base who have to pay a large amount for a few sips of matcha/coffee, I have chosen to no longer come to this cafe as long as these cups are in use.

Great interior & music! They have vinyl players and arcade machines in the cafe. I think the matcha latte was just okay and I would get something different from their menu, but it’s a great space to hang out or study.

Established Today is a super trendy coffee shop & record store; the space is gorgeous open and perfect for meet ups, hanging out or finding a corner to plug in and get work done. They also have a large patio space in the back that usually seems pretty empty and quiet if you're looking for a little more privacy. The staff was friendly, the record collection wasn't huge and I would not expect to find your favorite top 40 records, ie sabrina carpenter or taylor swift vinyl here but there's plenty to browse through and find something new and fun to listen to! Definitely recommend.
