Crema's Take
“Comet Over Delphi is a sleek Highland Park spot where serious coffee craftsmanship meets effortlessly cool design—think moody lighting, modern touches, and a hidden-gem atmosphere that invites you to settle in for hours. Their espresso-focused menu shines brightest with staff who genuinely know their craft, and whether you're ordering a smooth cold brew or a specialty drink, you'll taste the care they put into every cup. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a solo work session, a quiet read, or catching up with a friend, all while soaking in that rare LA coffee shop energy that feels both polished and authentically chill.”

Such a beautiful coffee shop. There’s plenty of seating, which makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. Its the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee, unwind, and do a little people-watching. The atmosphere feels calm but still lively in the best way. Definitely one of those places you can spend a couple of hours without even noticing the time go by.
Looking for a serious coffee shop that’s really dedicated to the craft? Then look no more! I’ve only been here once and I already can’t wait to come back. The vibe is chill and the decor has a homely feel to it with a touch of hipster. Well that’s my observation. Ok, so I noticed they’ve got this sleek espresso machine that I had to know about after having my coffee. They said it was an Aremde machine and It all made now that I know. I ordered an espresso called The Magic and what a magical sipping journey it was. I also ordered their Kalamansi Soda and that also was a Winner! The coffee blend was really good and I can say the same about the service. All the staff members were great and I hope if you visit you have the same experience that I did. So if you’re in the area and in the mood for great coffee then check this place.
Probably the coolest coffee shop in all of LA. The staff is superb, Spencer is a coffee maestro. The design inspires and the coffee is superb. For food they only have pastries, but on weekends they have pop ups outside. There’s ample parking. It’s right by the train stop! It’s a gem really.
Hip coffee shop. Inside is modern and stylish. There's some small tables and a couple comfy couches for seating. A good place to have a coffee and read or get some work done. The coffee is good. There's also a small selection of pastries. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's a pay parking lot across the street or street parking but you might have to walk a block or two. Good location close to the metro station.
Comet Over Delphi is effortlessly cool—moody lighting, sleek details, and that low-key “hidden gem” vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The coffee is solid (smooth iced coffee + a beautifully made latte), and the little tray setup with water and biscotti feels thoughtful and elevated. Perfect spot to chill, read, or get some work done. Stylish, calm, and just the right amount of edgy. I’ll definitely be back.
