Coffee has many benefits and finding the right hot brewed coffee takes a delicate balance. Without further a-due let's start the review. Intelligentsia Coffee is specialty coffee-bar that is rich in history owned and operated by a brilliant entrepreneur couple. This location is at the corner of Sunset blvd and Sanborn avenue in Silverlake neighborhood section of LA. And it's quite popular among the locals. They have three other locations throughout metropolitan LA. Intelligentsia's indoor and outdoor atmosphere were very inviting and relaxing with a good view of Sunset blvd. I was warmly greeted by a young female staff. I perused their menu list and they have good selection of coffee and baked pastry. I ordered a hot brewed coffee with light half 'n half and three splenda. Unfortunately, they only offer a 20 oz cup size and that's perfectly fine. However, they don't have a coffee stopper which I detest. Service was moderately fast. Staff was obsequious, competent and followed health protocol. Price was fair for the hippy Silverlake neighborhood. Street metered parking only. Overall, I had a good coffee and order experience. I definitely will come back again and I highly recommend this popular coffee bar shop.

Coffee, especially the Americano was very good. The croissant and other baked good also very good. The price however, not so good.

Staff stuffy and unfriendly. Coffee bitter, and nasty flavor. I found the selection limited. Pastry very little flavor. Upstairs neighbor kept letting dog out unleashed. Nice seating but Yeastie Boys truck asked in front makes blocked sidewalk foot traffic. Price points ???? ... too high for overall experience.

Didn't love the draft latte like la colombe. Very good espresso and tonic! One of the best and a great mix of orange bitters.

I stopped by Intelligentsia Silver Lake one morning and appreciated that it's open quite early in the morning. My flat white was average, not fantastic nor terrible. One thing that stood out is that it's only 6oz, a short one for 5 bucks.
The shop has plenty outdoor seats in its big porch and around the building. Inside the decor has an interesting look but a bit dim to my taste. Service was friendly.

It's of many coffee shops within this city. You have 3 or 4 coffee/tea houses competing next to each other. I ordered the Americano over ice which cost $4. Service was ok.

I love @intelligentsia Coffee. Until September, they have a watermelon addition to your coffee. I tried it alone and it was yummy. Maybe it would be better with a soda or tea. I got it without the simple syrup. Everybody is absolutely wonderful. Very prideful, outdoor, covered seating in little Sunset Junction outside mall. Great bakery items.

I like this place! Great pour over and latte with oat milk. They also have cortado and flat white which are rare in America. If you like pastries you should try their chocolate hazelnut croissant ????
Minus star because they still don’t open inside the cafe
