A FANTASTIC boutique coffee spot in a scrappy area! Such surprisingly good espresso drinks☕️ They use Oatly This could completely compete with drinks in cafes in cool Williamsburg, NYC, LA and SF neighborhoods.Doesn’t look like much on the outside but you walk in and it’s a little bright oasis of lightness. And I literally did a double take when I took a sip… Excellent. A table leaving said the same, spot on!

Such a fantastic local coffee spot in a totally unassuming location. They have a nice variety of baked goods, including a nice selection of gluten-free options (that are very tasty!). I drink decaf, and I swear this is the only place I've ever seen serve decaf cold brew. They hand-brew it, and it's delicious! They don't have decaf espresso, but they can use the decaf cold brew to make any of the lattes.Their seasonal drinks are very good, too. I wanted to try one and asked for it to not be too sweet (I don't usually order coffees with sugar/syrups, but wanted to try theirs since they have good quality ingredients). They understood and made such a lovely balanced cup of coffee full of flavor but low in sugar. Though if you want it sweeter, they can do that too!Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and inviting space. Just can't recommend this place enough!

Wanted to try a new place in the area, and boy oh boy am I glad I did! I stopped by with my daughter, got her a cocoa and an iced Toffee Apple espresso (w/ Oat milk) for myself, and got a Pain aux Raisin. The espresso was beautifully flavored and balanced (I like the Starbucks Apple Crisp, and this is WORLDS better), kiddo enjoyed her cocoa, and the pastry was delightful!The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, and the proprietress was wonderful, considerate ("would you like Hot Cocoa, or Kid temp hot cocoa?"), and friendly.I wish I lived nearby and wasn't just visiting!

I had an excellent visit at TK coffee. The parking lot is very clean and the Store is welcoming. I was greeted by Tucker who explained all options and types of coffee. I went with a Ohana iced latte. LOVED IT!There was three people who came in to get coffee while I waited. TK coffee has traffic and I was very impressed by how quickly Tucker got the orders out.The décor and dinking area is spotless and comfortable. Please look at my photos.I highly recommend TK coffee.

Was in the area and found this small spot tucked in a corner of this plaza. Was excited to try from seeing what was on their menu. A Sugar Cookie latte took my interest as well as a donut.Sadly the latte was bland and tasteless. No indication of it tasting anything like a sugar cookie. And on its own was just a mediocre latte that I couldn’t even finish. The espresso was more burned than flavorful. I should have tried the Ohana Latte but honestly who’s to say it would have been better.The donut was stale which was surprising as it was only Saturday morning.It’s a nice clean space though with friendly baristas but overall would not return to.

A cute little coffee shop with friendly staff. I order the mocha and my husband the peppermint both where tasty. I also got a cookie (forgot the name) it was good too. I just feel it was over priced for the size you get.

Super excited to have a local coffee shop in this area. My favorite is a light ice Sugar and Spice latte extraneous sweeten with oats milk and my best friend really likes a the sweeten hot matcha with oats milk.Kid-friendliness: They also have caffeine free beverages.

This place is amazing!!! Great small business, truly thoughtful for the customers. The macadamian nut latte sweetened with agave is unreal!!Really fast service, really friendly and one of the best coffee shops in the area.

I see this 100%% as an attempt to gentrify the block! - Starting with the coffee - I ordered a black iced americano on two separate occasions on my way to work. Both times, I got an acidic, moderately sour cup with a syrupy mouth feel, which actually lacked body, and did not have the expected flavor/character of the bean. I'm pretty sure it was single-origin african roast if i recall correctly...you don't remember the misses as much as the wins ya know? I drink americanos from cafes all throughout LA & I was hoping this would be a nice option nearby. It's not, I'm not incentivized to drop money on any other drinks, let alone the food - I'd much rather get a blonde starbucks americano & that should tell ya something. So where else do i go? Think Blue bottle, Verve, Intelligentsia; Bodevi in San Fernando destroys this place; Aroma; The Coffee Roaster; the list of better options goes on. I was looking around for another cafe to try today & I remembered how much I didn't like this place so here ya go, $11 out the wallet = this review. It's clearly not for me, as I enjoy friendly, more comfortable spaces with good music, good vibes, and excellent coffee. There's so much amazing coffee out there, this one just feels wrong.Next - VIBE - Bad coffee, bad vibes, oddly plain white / bright space that's "cute", on the corner of Glenoaks & Osborne in Pacoima. First time I let them know I was excited to give them a try, that was met with pretty uncaring vibes and little information about a newer cafe. Second time I was just hoping for a better experience. Staff just seems like they aren't excited to be serving it up. I've seen cops pull up here plenty. People in the cafe seem to enjoy the space and that just makes it more confusing. This is not the shiny new thing you want in the hood, and not a great spot for a cafe cuz parking is terrible to top it off.

What a find!!!! hidden in this little corner plaza for what seems in the middle of no where is this cafe.It's so cute inside, serves quality coffee.We got iced mocha, and hibiscus lemonade.the Hibiscus lemonade was refreshingthe iced mocha is one of the best I've had. And i don't drink coffee. It didn't taste syrupy and the organic cocoa really highlights the drink and balances the coffee really well. it's not overly sweet. But honestly it tastes like a really delicious frap without ice.Also, they have such friendly staff. had a really nice chat with Brianna who gave excellent recommendations.

Love this place so much!! TK is a gem in Pacoima. I’m so glad this community has a coffee shop like this one! The baristas are amazing and always friendly. And the manager, Hannah, is so kind to every person who walks in. I always love stopping by here if I’m in LA! And the coffee is great. Roasted in California and every drink is made with excellent quality in mind. I appreciate TK Coffee so much. I recommend the Pour Over or the oat milk cappuccino! And the wake money or the lemon poppyseed muffin are great pastry options :)

Their seasonal drinks are always delicious! They have interesting drinks like cold brew lemonade (which is exactly what it sounds like) and sugar cookie lattes. I’m not afraid to try something new here because everything has been great so far. Ye old faithful is an iced oat milk latte. They also have a spiced syrup which adds sweetness and cinnamon flavor to any drink. I loved them when they were TK Coffee and I still do. Support your local coffee shop! Especially when their coffee is this good.

So happy this new shop exists! We needed great coffee in this part of LA! The baristas were sweet and explained the vision of the business. Wow these people are amazing. The owners are working so hard to make it a beautiful space to serve delicious coffee and impact lives in a lasting way. It is clear that in the coming years this will be a must-visit spot for coffee lovers in the valley ❤️

Everything I’ve tried here so far is top notch, high quality, artisanal, all the good stuff. Great for coffee nerds this side of the valley. Oh, and I can’t get enough of their sweet cinnamon cold brew. It was giving balanced, delicious vibes. Highly recommend it!

I love this place. The people here are so friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the TK Berry Blast with the Mixed Berry muffin. My son got cappuccino with almond milk. And his grandma got a Macadamia Latte Iced. The drinks were done perfectly.

Very cute inside but the coffee is watery and they don’t carry cream only milk which makes it even more watery.

Please open a café across the street from the Lake View Terrace Library. Thank you. It is NOT a safe walk from the library. I don’t want to see ANYBODY get hurt or killed for a nice cup of coffee and/or scone.

The Barista, Hannah, greeted me warmly upon walking in. I was asked about my day and if I resided in the area. She then walked me through menu options she thought I'd like based on my preferences. Upon receiving the coffee and tasting it, I noticed it was rich in flavor. I ordered a vanilla latte, it was a bit on the sweeter side but nothing too unpleasant. The coffee does taste high quality. I'm not professional on coffee but I do taste a difference between this coffee and others I've had. Honestly, coming here made my day. The company is motivated by social justice, specifically with a goal to alleviate the human trafficking process. Every cup of coffee you order has a purpose and they are partnered with a ministry that ends human trafficking. Overall great experience, will definitely be coming back to try more drinks.

This is the best coffee shop I have been to in Los Angeles. The staff are kind and friendly and the coffee is delicious. The setting inside is simple, clean and welcoming, and it is a great atmosphere to get out your laptop and do some work in peace and quiet. I would 100% recommend this spot.

If you’re in the area stop by and say hi to Daisy. Have an espresso and chill in a clean hip environment. Best Specialty coffee in the area.
