ignore the rest of the menu and your default latte or americano order and get a cup from their pour over bar. This is how coffee should be made. The guatemala coffee is the best of the current crop.- Annabel YouensJanuary 29, 2014These guys know how to make a latte! Single origin beans and a daft hand at the espresso machine mean you'll get a smooth and delicious coffee. Come here and support local business.
Adrian PhillipsMay 14, 2015The only good coffee in an area that is full of chains and fast food. Cold brew is solid here as well as their espresso drinks. It's not visible from the street, you have to head into the office park.
It is nice to find a relaxing coffee shop like Elabrew in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Take some time to sit down and enjoy that first sip.
Scott San FilippoJanuary 27, 2014A wonderful find inside an office park near Universal Music Group. Free valet parking! Third-wave aggregator of great roasters.
If you're looking for a place that served up excellent beans from third-wave roasters, this is it. Great pour-over!
Sure, it's a bit pricier than Starbucks. But it's way better. Think Intelligentsia. You don't come here for drip coffee. If drip's your thing, try an Americano. For the experience: espresso/latter/cap
Kyoto-style cold brew = rocket fuel for my day. Make sure to order it before it sells out around 2 PM.
- AshleyJuly 19, 2013Don't expect to order your typical Venti macchiato here. They make it the classic Italian way- a dash of milk on a shot of espresso, not a 20 oz. cup in site.
- Pour over made me say oh snap! The girl at the counter is the perkiness broad ever!
FiveStarsJune 5, 2012Use your FiveStars card for a free beverage or pastry! Ask for a card if you don't already have one.
Esther KustanowitzAugust 9, 2013They validate if you park in the visitor parking-up to 3hrs. Otherwise, it's $2.50 EVERY 15 MINUTES. yikes.
I miss Tully's. This place is too expensive! Tully's Vanilla Latte = $3.50. Brew Coffee Bar Vanilla Latte = $5.50. YIKES.
- The Mocha, even when you ask for it with soy, still has dairy.
- Don't get a pourover in the morning if you're in a hurry. Take FORever!
