Kumquat Coffee

“Kumquat is nerdy in the best way. Key word obsessive - if you don't appreciate above and beyond coffee then just stick to lala land, you'll be happier there. They source beans from a dozen different roasters worldwide, syrups directly from farms across the US, and garden-direct tea from Asia. It's the kind of intentionality that makes my importer heart sing. They've also launched a sister spot called Loquat in Cypress Park that's all about direct trade and Cup of Excellence-grade coffees. When I say they take sourcing seriously, I mean seriously. Think of it like a wine bar with a killer by-the-glass list from producers you've never heard of but immediately want to know everything about.”

“I go here for the Cloudy with a Chance of Peanuts. It’s cold milk, peanut butter foam and a double shot of espresso. It tastes like a peanut butter cup coffee!”

“for the fact it’s hidden and you’ll feel cool knowing it exists”

“Hands down best coffee in LA. I always get the New England latte, which says a lot because I don’t typically like vanilla in my coffee.”

“There’s peanut butter in their coffee… enough said.”
