Verve Coffee Roasters

Very very nice customer service. Pastries and the kale chicken Caesar wrap were both fresh. The lovely barista Anaya gave me a great recommendation for a vanilla matcha with pistachio milk!

TLDR; Gorgeous cafe with beautiful indoor and outdoor space, variety of parking options, and great menu.

This is the perfect place to get some remote work done or catch up with a friend. The staff here is super friendly and nice as well, which always adds to the vibe of the coffeeshop. There are solid food items on the menu as well, such as a selection of fresh pastries and breakfast items.

The indoor seating area is filled with light, as the entire shop is made of ample glass. You can also walk outside to the back patio, where there are tables and cushions you can sit at.

There is metered parking all around the street, but you can also park in the residential Bev Hills neighborhood if you don't mind a little walking.

I ordered some sort of iced pumpkin drink. The menu said it was supposed to have a bunch of stuff in it. When I got it, it tasted of nothing really. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't taste of pumpkin at all.

The vibes are great, so if you're looking for cute, I guess this is the place to go.

I've been here a few times already and it never fails. The space is nicely designed and great for coffee and snack. The pasteries are fresh and fluffy. The croissants are fresh and crunchy as I like them and the coffee/tea is made very well. I love that they serve the coffee with the top off to showcase the milk art the barista creates. Wait is normally short and doable even if your in a rush. I would recommend trying it out if your in the area.

I got the lavender honey latte and my friend got the peppermint mocha, both tasted great! (not too sweet)
I didn't stay for long, but the cafe interior seemed like a nice place to study. Prices for select drinks seemed a bit steep but mine was ok - maybe I'll try the food next time. I was lucky and got one of the actual parking spots, but otherwise mostly street parking.

Verve has plentiful outdoor patio and indoor seating, and is a good place to study with solid drinks and a relaxing ambience. The staff make drinks very quickly, and they have plenty of food options as well. Note that there are no outlets available inside the cafe. Parking is mainly metered street parking, and it can be difficult to find a spot when it's busy.

Of all the drinks I tried, the best one was the Missile Coffee -- it was smooth, creamy, and overall delicious. It combines iced coffee with housemade syrup and cream for a satisfying cup. However, the matcha had a bit of a strange aftertaste, so I would probably skip that one.

The vibe:

The height of pretension colliding with the privilege of unbridled curiosity and the placid energy that effuses from the security of never having ever been concerned about paying a bill on time...or at all. I belong here.


In general:

You get the usual great coffee and service that one would expect from Verve.

came here on a saturday later in the morning and it was super packed. the coffee was really sweet and watered down and the matcha latte was very milky. i asked for more sweetner for the matcha and that helped the flavor a bit. we also got the overnight oats which was surprisingly delicious and very filling. this location is hard to find parking but we lucked out with finding meter parking nearby.

Nice location and good coffee when visiting the area. Melrose is also a great walking street. Their service is mostly attentive but can at times be slow. Cortado was excellent

Seasonal Toast: ****
If I remember it correctly, it has cheese, tomatoes, and garlic on top
The ingredients are so simple yet the flavors are there, very tasty!
