Awesome Coffee is a cozy coffee shop tucked into a bustling stretch of Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, offering a relaxed spot for locals and visitors alike to grab a thoughtfully prepared cup of coffee or a light bite. The atmosphere here leans into comfort without feeling overdone—soft background music hums at a volume that lets conversation and focused work coexist easily, making it a solid choice whether you're catching up with friends or settling in with a laptop.

The crowd tends to be a mix of students, creatives, and professionals, often creating a lively but manageable buzz, though the place does fill up during peak hours, especially late mornings and early afternoons. The seating can get tight, so if you want a quiet corner or a table for a group, earlier visits during mid-morning or late afternoon on weekdays usually offer the best chance.

Coffee here shows attention to craft with a menu that highlights classics like cappuccinos and cortados, alongside more inventive takes such as affogatos with organic liquid nitrogen ice cream, along with matcha options that come highly recommended by repeat visitors. The coffee tends to be smooth and balanced, well suited to those who appreciate a fresh brew without excessive sweetness. There’s also a variety of teas and refreshing non-coffee beverages, making it easy to find something even if caffeine isn’t your first choice.

Beyond drinks, the food menu includes approachable, well-executed café fare like avocado toast sandwiches, turkey clubs, and various waffles (including options with ice cream), which hit the spot for a casual breakfast or lunch without veering into heavy dining territory.

Service here is often described as warm and attentive, with baristas who clearly care about their craft and the customer experience. This kind of genuine hospitality adds to the overall inviting atmosphere, helping to make Awesome Coffee a practical neighborhood spot for anyone needing a caffeine fix or a casual space to pause during the day.

Overall, Awesome Coffee works best as a laid-back hangout for coffee lovers who appreciate consistent quality in a comfortable setting, ideal for solo study sessions, casual meet-ups, or a mid-day pick-me-up while exploring the area around Wilshire.

I don't usually write reviews, but this strawberry matcha is worth recommending to you. I don't come here often, but every time I order strawberry matcha. If you haven't tried it, it's really worth your attention!

Absolutely love this coffee shop! The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming, and the coffee tastes amazing every single time. Julia is such a wonderful barista — friendly, attentive, and truly passionate about what she does. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. Definitely one of my favorite spots for coffee!

This place is cool. I’ve been coming here for years. Occasionally, this place is packed with students, working professionals, and/or regular people with their friends/loved ones, etc, which makes seating can be hard to find sometimes. The coffee is average. I don’t agree with the prices especially for a cappuccino. $7+ (since I added vanilla syrup) The espresso machines pulls out two shots, yet they will only add 1 shot of espresso in your latte/cappuccino, etc. That means to me they rather charge you for every shot. I understand prices are going up, but it’s too costly and it is the reason why I barely come. Also, parking is hard to find because it is in a plaza filled with restaurants. The view, however, is beautiful.

I really enjoyed this coffee shop. The baristas were very friendly and welcoming. My latte tasted amazing — smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. The place is clean, cozy, and perfect for studying or taking a break. I will definitely come back!
