Sharp Specialty Coffee - Los Angeles, California

Sharp Specialty Coffee is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. I ordered a latte during my visit, and I could instantly tell the difference that sets this specialty café apart from the rest. The rich, smooth flavor and expert crafting of the drink were evident with every sip. The cozy, quiet ambiance offers the perfect backdrop for studying or working, complemented by industrial-themed decor that gives it a unique touch. I loved that the space is dog-friendly, welcoming both two and four-legged visitors with open arms. Although parking can be a bit tricky, the exceptional quality of their beverages and the warm, friendly service make Sharp Specialty Coffee a must-visit spot for anyone passionate about coffee.

Stayed here to study with some friends, and it was a great place to study and socialize over some pastries and great tasting coffee. It was also very clean and organized 👌

And had charging ports ! Which is rare for cafes in LA. Very reliable. Personally had a Carmael Spice Iced Lattee

Their Honey Cinnamon Latte was very tasty and well balanced. I could still taste the nuttiness and acidity of the beans with just the right amount of sweetness from the added ingredients to elevate it.
I didn’t care too much for the muffin I got but maybe I’ll try a different pastry next time.
Plenty of seating throughout the cafe.

Really nice chill and spacious cafe in Ktown that I wouldn’t mind popping into again. The quiet vibes really give off a work/study feel to the cafe which is perfect for me to focus and relax in.

Despite how it can be a pain to find parking just to get here (it’s all street meters) I would be down to come back again.

Good location with plenty of sitting space.

The coffee was delicious.

I'd normally go for a cortado but this time decided to go for a capuccino.

This was a perfect choice; interesting ratio of espresso and milk which makes it close to a "soft" cortado. The size is also an interesting thing since it's noticeably smaller than other coffee shops; mainly due to the amount of steamed milk and foam.

Serving skills were top.

Also had a croissant which was heated. Seemed fresh and good quality.

Definitely recommend.

Super cute, chill, relaxing interior. Plenty of seating, and low-key workspace. Service was friendly fast and warm. Coffee is fantastic, comparable to Phil’s. planning to come back when I need a workspace out of the house.

Decent cafe, but doesn’t quite seem up to par with other Ktown cafes. While the coffee is good, there’s nothing unique on the menu. Decent amount of space, but nothing special. Seems like it’s good for studying, but if you’re going to be there for a long time there’s the topic of parking. There’s a paid parking structure in the building. If you get there in the morning it seems like there isn’t a parking attendant, so it’s free. Overall, a fine option if you’re in the area, but maybe not worth a special stop.

Really great place to catch up on some work - spacious seating with outlets!!! Also a great place to catch up with friends. The pastries are humongous and look super fresh. I got a matcha muffin, their avocado toast (thickest avo toast ever) and the matcha latte with almond milk - it was sweet and I enjoyed it. The food overall isn’t bad and definitely comparable to your typical coffee shop in ktown food; good. I like the vibe of the coffee shop, parking is just a bit tough so you’ll have to drive around a bit sometimes around the block. the employees are also so nice. I ordered the muffin wrong and they gave me a blueberry vanilla muffin instead of the matcha but they were so sweet and accommodating and ended up changing up the muffin for me. I like the ambience — it’s not crowded on a Saturday morning and it’s definitely a great place to work and to think. Would come back to work again!!

5 star rating is for the coffee as I haven't tried their food yet. Their espresso beans are delicious if you like to taste a little bitterness cut through the milk and flavoring. My favorites there are the Spanish Latte half sweet and Vanilla Latte half sweet.
