I love @intelligentsia Coffee. Until September, they have a watermelon addition to your coffee. I tried it alone and it was yummy. Maybe it would be better with a soda or tea. I got it without the simple syrup. Everybody is absolutely wonderful. Very prideful, outdoor, covered seating in little Sunset Junction outside mall. Great bakery items.

One of the most amazing coffeehouses of all time! The espresso was remarkable, likely the best I had around here, in every case new and scrumptious, served at a sensible cost with the best feeling. I could deal with my PC and partake in a nice hot espresso. I will most likely suggest this spot in case you are near!

I like this place! Great pour over and latte with oat milk. They also have cortado and flat white which are rare in America. If you like pastries you should try their chocolate hazelnut croissant 🥐Minus star because they still don’t open inside the cafe

Thank you so much! I keep returning because their coffee and cakes are so well priced and tasty. I went to this coffee shop anyway because I wanted a rest. The setting appealed to me because it was both sophisticated and relaxing. They also serve my orders quickly. It was the most amazing experience Ive ever had!

My breakfast here was wonderful and impressive! It was my first time to be here at your coffee shop, and it was all worth it. The waiter entertained my order quickly, and in a matter of 20 minutes, my order was already on my table. The foods and coffee were delicate and delicious. Besides, I greatly loved it. The ambiance was also quiet, fragrant, and comfortable. Eventually, this shop was satisfying and captivating. Thanks!

This coffee shop is a very nice place to work on your creative projects. The ambiance is very mellow and the staff is all accommodating. They have it all, good coffee and cakes, fast WiFi, and such beautiful interior design. I would recommend this to students who want to find a nice place to study or professionals who want to be productive with work. I always love coming here. Thank you!

Coffee has many benefits and finding the right hot brewed coffee takes a delicate balance. Without further a-due lets start the review. Intelligentsia Coffee is specialty coffee-bar that is rich in history owned and operated by a brilliant entrepreneur couple. This location is at the corner of Sunset blvd and Sanborn avenue in Silverlake neighborhood section of LA. And its quite popular among the locals. They have three other locations throughout metropolitan LA. Intelligentsias indoor and outdoor atmosphere were very inviting and relaxing with a good view of Sunset blvd. I was warmly greeted by a young female staff. I perused their menu list and they have good selection of coffee and baked pastry. I ordered a hot brewed coffee with light half n half and three splenda. Unfortunately, they only offer a 20 oz cup size and thats perfectly fine. However, they dont have a coffee stopper which I detest. Service was moderately fast. Staff was obsequious, competent and followed health protocol. Price was fair for the hippy Silverlake neighborhood. Street metered parking only. Overall, I had a good coffee and order experience. I definitely will come back again and I highly recommend this popular coffee bar shop.

This is a perfect position! I love the peacefulness of the place and the place itself. This is the perfect place to stay if you plan to have a quiet time while working alone or if you are looking for a place to get your friends together. All employees are extremely welcoming and fun. You knew exactly what you would do and did it professionally. Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you.

We were driving by and needed to stop and relax. It seems to be a regular college town coffee shop, with a polite and enjoyable atmosphere. They have been brewing their own coffee for the last ten years. We will likely return and promote the coffee shop to our family!

Bravo! Bravo! The reason I keep coming here is that their coffee and sweets are so cheap and delicious. I still went to this coffee shop any time I decided to take a break. I like the spot because it was so elegant and soothing. They serve my orders easily, too. Its really been the best trip!

The cappuccino I ordered from the waiter was accurate and delicious. Aside from that, I adored this coffee shop because they catered to their customers in a professional and courteous manner. It was a safe, relaxing, and well-organized environment. To be honest, I enjoyed hanging out at this shop because it was a great place to spend my free time. It was both enlightening and rewarding!

We came here for espresso last week since we chose to invest some energy here. We love to have a talk over some espresso. We picked this area since its probably the best spot to get a java. I simply think the chocolate overpowers the espresso that you may believe youre drinking hot cocoa. It merits attempting!

We both had a mini breakfast of coffee. The consistency of bacon, sausages and haggis is outstanding. The team is very supportive and polite. I like the fact theyve got a board listing their vendors. It is still important to help local suppliers and to know that they are in the market. Well done to the boss and the staff! I highly recommend this place to my family and friends. Cheers for more success!

Im one of the devoted customers of this bistro. In addition to the fact that i am an espresso darling, however I very make the most of their espresso and offices. I can sit with my espresso and my PC for an entire day, and its completely permitted. Also, that made me a touch more loose!

Great and delicious coffee; although, small portions at expensive price.The cappuccino is really tasty but is only about 2-4 floz. The iced coffee is about 8 floz but is also really well done. It must be their tasty coffee beans. They have a special LA drink that is 6 shots of espresso with creme; it works as you would think.

I fully intended to order black coffee but I saw on their menu that their Mocha was made with Davao chocolate. Had to try it.It was great great great. Not too sweet, this mocha perfectly blended coffee, milk, and chocolate.The latte was really good too. No sugar needed.

This coffee shop is an independent, quality-driven coffee company. Their big focus on what coffee they serve is based around seasonality, coupled with their strong brand and talented baristas. They’re a force to be reckoned with. I could assure you guys that you can be addictive once you would taste their different flavors of coffee.

I loooove everyday eatery. I come here a couple times a month to get the macro bowl w/ chicken. Its super healthy and tastes fresh every time I order it. Ive also tried the Green Brekkie Bowl and Kale Salad and they did not disappoint but the macro bowl will always be my fave. I have yet to try many other things on the menu! So happy to have a healthy and quality breakfast/lunch spot here in Irvine! I will add that the only downside to this place is that it gets expensive. The macro bowl with chicken comes out to about $15 BUT its good quality so I dont mind it a couple times a month.

Some coffee shops only have a few tables while others have tons of space for you to sit. But this coffee shop has comfy tables and seats plus music that could make us feel relax. There were also books for you to read especially if youre into reading while listening to music. You can meet a new circle of friends because the people were so cool. It was a nice experience!

Very aesthetic place, but can be a bit of a scene on the weekends. Great for weekday meetings, and morning coffees to go if you’re in the area! Food and drinks are good (same as all other intelligentsia locations), but people tend to come for the iconic location.Be sure to also check out the other shops in sunset junction while you’re here!

Corn Flake cookies. My God. Those and their chai tea is enough to make you want to work there every day. Only downside is because all this stuff is so good its consistently crowded which often means making the choice between sipping on a warm beverage under the blazing LA sun or waiting for a table by staring at people as they nibble on their corn flake cookies silently urging them to leave but also hoping theyre enjoying that cookie. All around great spot.

I really liked Intelligentsia Coffee! I honestly didnt think I would, I thought itd be overpriced coffee in a minimalist setting. And while it does have a bit of a premium price and the interior does have some of that minimalist vibe, I found myself surprisingly warm and comfortable inside. I was in the area waiting for a seat at Sawyer and stopped in here for a coffee. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and got my hot chocolate done fast! It came in a big white mug and was very rich and creamy! The lighting inside was very warm and it made it very relaxing to sit on the counter sipping the hot chocolate! Id say that Intelligentsia is well worth it for the quality service, warm interior, and rich drinks!

I visited LA from the UK recently and this place quickly became my go to coffee place. The matcha lattes are amazing ( being vegan I had mine with almond milk) and the vegan pies are delicious! The place has a great vibe and all the staff are really nice, which I think is one of the main reasons for the good atmosphere.

Its a hip and trendy coffee shop that one would expect in Silverlake. Also priced accordingly so be prepared. Indoor and outdoor seating is intimate and sort of limited so sharing a table with a new friend or two could be possible. Not a place for someone who wants to be alone. Great view of Sunset Blvd and the beautiful folks who walk around this town. Definitely worth checking out if youre curious about it.

I’m impressed that even after so many years, and so much growth, Intelligentsia has done a great job maintaining the distinctive flavor of their bean!It’s def different then the more fruity tones that has been common with other small roasters but I love the bold taste of their bean.This location has an amazing ambiance, free WiFi, awesome and friendly baristas who know their stuff.

Saw this shop on comedians in cars getting coffee, well not this location, my family ignored me when I gave them the address I really wanted to get to the venice location since I was going to venice beach, but I digress...either way we arrived and were given explanations on certain flavors and offerings. I ended up with a sweet latte, mocha and hot chocolate..they were soooo good.
