Crema's Take

Picnic Coffee is an early-opening LA gem that wins hearts with its charming, Instagram-worthy atmosphere and a menu of genuinely creative signature drinks—think rich Spanish lattes and three-shot shakratos that stand out from the typical café fare. While indoor seating is tight and you might find yourself perched outside with your cup, the distinctive coffee quality and playful flavor experiments (Vienna lattes with vegan cream, pistachio milk options) make it worth the squeeze. This is the kind of place where the experience—the vibe, the barista energy, the unique drink offerings—matters just as much as the espresso in your cup.

If you’re looking for a unique coffee experience, this place is a must-visit. They serve the most distinctive coffee in the area. However, the indoor seating is limited, making it inconvenient for studying or staying for more than 30 minutes. Excluding the coffee bar, it's about 400~500sq ft.

Gloriously mid largely flavorless matcha. +1 for pistachio milk, although we initially thought the pistachio matcha latte had pistachio sauce, and the barista was kind of rude about correcting us. Parking is rough in this area and there is pretty limited seating, not as ideal for working.

I ordered without much expectation, but the Spanish latte was excellent. It was much richer and more intense than Spanish lattes I’ve had at other cafes. The shakerato comes with three shots by default, so it’s strong and definitely wakes you up. I personally prefer bold coffee, so this place really worked for me. The matcha was solid as well. The only downside is that the coffee size feels quite small for the price. The space inside is pretty limited, so I’d recommend takeout.

The coffee was good, but this place is really all about the atmosphere. It’s such a cute and charming café. If I lived in LA, I’d definitely be a regular. ღ˘◡˘ற

Adorable grab & go coffee shop! Such a fun menu with unique flavors and signature drinks. I ended up getting the Vienna latte with the vegan cream top and it was delicious 😋☕️🤎 I ran into a friend who lives in the area and swears by their regular coffee! Service was fine, baristas were very excited about people’s dogs 🐶 and responded very sweetly to them. Not a great place to work bc space, there are 2 small tables inside, and parking was bleh, but coffee was good enough to come back!
