With so many amazing coffee shops in Los Angeles, it was hard to narrow this list down to just a few favorites, but we did our best!

Here are some of the best places to get your next caffeine fix when you're in Hollywood...

1. Bar Nine | 3515 Helms Ave

Bar Nine finished at the top of our list! Hidden away in a quiet corner of Culver City, they brew some of the best coffee LA has to offer. They roast all of their beans in-house and run limited batches of some the world's highest-rated coffees. We tried the last of their Perci Gesha which received the highest score ever awarded to a coffee on Coffee Review (at that time) with 97 points.

The shop is very spacious, with a variety of seating options and plenty of outlets dotted around. Pull up a stool at the bar or hide away in their conference room, available to reserve for private work sessions or special events.

What We Had | Pour Over

Perci Gesha - Limited Batch #242

Tasting Notes: Blackberry, dark chocolate, lavender.

2. Verve Coffee Roasters | 8051 W 3rd St

Verve was a close second! With a number of locations around LA and across the USA, you've most likely heard of them before, and for a good reason! We visited the shop on 8051 W 3rd St. It's a creative space with great interior design. As well as the range of specialty coffee on offer, they also have some great vegan/gluten-free pastries too.

We had to wait for an inside seat for a few minutes (I have a feeling it's always busy), but it was worth the wait.

What We Had | Cascara Jamaica

Dried hibiscus flowers, honey and water, and cascara.

3. Coffee For Sasquatch | 7020 Melrose Ave

Though it may not have been the greatest coffee we've had, it was definitely one of the coolest coffee shop interiors we've seen! Along with the bright and modern, urban forest design, they have a bunch of interesting specials on offer. From Lavender Vanilla Lattes to Strawberry Macadamia Matcha! Coffee For Sasquatch was a bright, and airy escape from the hustle of the LA streets.

What We Had | Brewchata

Cold brew coffee with rice milk, vanilla, almonds, cinnamon, and sugar.
