What customers say

They take coffee seriously—everything is roasted in-house and super fresh. I love how they break their offerings into Daily, Rare, and Competition categories. It makes it easy to explore different coffees depending on your mood. Great vibe, great people, and a solid pour-over bar.

there's a new roaster and the coffee is wonderful. currently serving only pour overs, both hot & iced. single origins ranging from daily drivers all the way to competition level. currently it's outdoor seating with some shade available, though i was told indoors will be available soon.

Element Roasters is a standout in LA’s specialty coffee scene. I had the pleasure of visiting one of their recent pop-ups and was genuinely impressed by both the quality of their coffee and the hospitality of the team.

★★★★★ — Dennis, 2025-07

If you’re looking for the most authentic and delicious coffee, this is it!! it is served with you in mind. You pick the imported beans from its captivating aroma… it is then roasted in front of you as you watch them pour the hot water slowly.. without rushing it.. as you watch the baristas gently craft it before you.
