Sharp Specialty Coffee: Reviews & Ratings
Solid coffee, but nothing that sets it apart from the coffee at other great cafes. Parking is a struggle. The ambiance of the cafe is great and there's a lot of space and seating to get work done. I would stop by if I were in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
If I lived in LA, I think I'd be here too much. Beautiful latte art that stuns for Yelp or Instagram, but the taste is also out of this world. On another occasion, I went and got a coconut cream latte (I might be butchering the name) that was on special. Out of this world!!! I'd recommend not sleeping on the specials. My friend who is a local has Matthew remembering his order so kudos for remembering the regulars!!
been loving studying at cafes and sipping on arguably overpriced drinks and sharp coffee fits my list quite well. there are plenty of seats and many outlets which makes this a really great study spot! would recommend noise cancelling headphones/earbuds because the music is a little loud. important to note that street parking is limited and is metered but I happened to get lucky also noteable mention that they use stereoscope coffee in their drinks! the spanish latte and mocha latte with oatmilk taste fantastic. only downside is that a stinky man sat next to me for a few hours but that is not the cafe's fault
Baristas with Sharp skills give us the thrill to get us up that hill to make that dollar bill and have us coming back? You know they will. At least I know I will definitely be coming back. I started off with two of their signatures and I'm going say right off the bat that I'm definitely a fan. The Cloudy Mint was the first drink I had and it's a cold brew with maple syrup with mint topped with house-made cream. Now swirl it together and it's definitely refreshing and even though I'm not fond of minty drinks it worked. Next was the Cream Mocha that came with a house-made mocha and cream top and it was another solid flavorful drink. The atmosphere is still and chill with plenty of seating and the decor is rustic and calming. The Baristas are definitely Sharp but unfortunately the service is quite dull both times I've gone but hey not all baristas are friendly. And that's my take, Peace.
i decided to come in with my friends on a saturday afternoon and to our surprise, it wasn't as busy as i thought it would be. the inside is spacious and there's high ceilings, making the cafe seem larger than it actually is! it was a very cute and quiet cafe that i quite enjoyed. their drinks were pretty yummy as well.
I was searching for a place to sit and do some work on my laptop for a few hours. I was happy to stop by Sharp Specialty Coffee. The store was located off of 6th St, which was very busy. I parked off of Catalina St and walked over instead. This was good for 2 hour parking. I went around 9:00 AM on a Saturday. There wasn't other customers at the time, so I was able to order right away. I also got my order within 2 minutes. After looking at the menu, I ordered the Spanish latte from the signature section. This was a strong and sweet latte with a cinnamon taste. I also got the banana bread. It wasn't too sweet, had nuts and bits of chocolate in it. I did also the staff to heat it up, but it was still cold. But overall, I felt it was a good combination. I sat at the wooden bench to stay close to an outlet. The music wasn't too loud and wasn't distracting. It felt like a quiet and cozy store. There was also free WiFi. They do have a restroom in the back of the store and it was kept clean. I stayed there close to 3 hours and there wasn't a lot of people coming through. Definitely felt like an underrated store!
The cafe had a clean modern look. It was a Saturday morning, so not too many people had arrived yet, making it a very peaceful atmosphere. Since it was my first time here, the staff was very helpful in recommending items to try. I ended up choosing the Cream Mocha and pumpkin spice donut. The coffee was more bitter than I would have liked, but it paired well with the cream top, which was wonderfully creamy and tasty.The pumpkin spice donut was also delicious. I highly recommend having it warmed up! I will definitely be returning again to try their other menu options!
1. This was my first time trying fruit candy, and the sticky texture was interesting! The strawberry mojito was definitely refreshing! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes that is good for productivity! 3. There were many indoor seatings! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. I only saw street parking available but there should be paid parking lots nearby! Note: There is a single gender-neutral restroom! Photo: Fruit Candy and Strawberry Mojito
