Verve Coffee Roasters

Rooted in the surf culture and sustainability mindset of Santa Cruz, this cafe set out to redefine how Angelenos experience specialty coffee. With a mission to foster direct relationships with coffee producers, they’ve built a reputation for transparency and ethical sourcing. Their Los Angeles outpost has become a flagship for West Coast coffee culture, earning accolades for both design and impact. The brand continues to champion quality and community, always aiming to inspire connection through every cup.

Baristas here are well-versed in both classic espresso technique and the nuances of pour-over, delivering drinks with consistency and care. The seasonal single-origin offerings are a standout, with bright, clean flavors that showcase the best of each origin. Signature drinks like the Honey Lavender Latte are crafted with precision and served in elegant, minimalist cups. The food menu is surprisingly thoughtful for a coffee-focused spot, with locally sourced pastries and hearty toasts that pair seamlessly with the coffee. Seating is a mix of communal tables and cozy nooks, making it easy to settle in for a single cup or a long session.
