Cartel Roasting Co

This has quickly become my favorite coffee shop in LA, my go to place to work on projects or hang out with my family! Firstly, artisan, complex coffee is a must for me. Hario pour over single origin beans, Cartel has incredible coffee. It’s a pleasure to sip and enjoy the complexity.

I’m from Mesa, Arizona so having Cartel in LA is amazing. They’re even bringing the Nami caramel for one of their seasonal drinks. This is the first drink I will try at the grand opening. Nami is a vegan baked goods, vegan Dairy Queen place on 7th Street in Phoenix.

This is a beautifully designed space with excellent coffee beverages, both hot and cold! The warm walnut paneling on the walls, with fine art, curiosities and plants, along with a gorgeous stained glass wall that opens onto the generously sized back patio all combine to create a unique vibe and experience.

Beautiful space- such a different aesthetic compared to most coffee shops. The inside is warm and earthy. The back patio was super quiet and perfect for a morning coffee. The coffee and service, by the way, was fantastic. Just what the neighborhood needed.
