Such a cute coffee shop, with very friendly workers. I got the latte with whole milk which came to a total of $5! The latte was delightful and I’ll definitely be back to try their other drinks when I’m in the area again. They also have a variety of drinks and coffee beans for sale too.There’s a couple of seats inside and also a lot outside. This is a great place to meet up with a friend and have a little chat. It’s at the corner of the street and there is metered parking in front of the coffee shop as well!

Its tough to find a very high quality decaf espresso, but this shop hit it on the head! Well balanced, super smooth, and everyone in the shop knows what theyre doing as far as heat, static electricity, weight, and all the other things that go in to making an excellent espresso. Well done.

Nice chill spot with very good coffee! Had the Cortado, extremely smooth, almost imperceptible acidity, and very balanced. Their bourbon barrel cold brew is EXCELLENT. Easily one of the best spots for coffee in the area.

Lovely coffee shop in Glendale downtown, nicely located and neatly decorated. The avocado toast is amazing, with a layer of hot sauce, just enough to add a twist to the taste without making it too spicy. The service is friendly, I enjoyed the visit.

Great coffee from many parts of the world. I’ve tried one from Ethiopia and it was very tasty.The Barista knows how to prepare a perfect coffee.You also find grains to take home and some coffee gear.There were some cakes for having with your coffee.It is a nice place to chill, work or read.

One of my favorite places to get coffee. The coffee is legit great and prices fair. The inside is small, cozy, and efficient (and no loud music blasting at you!). Best thing: The owner(s) & staff are always welcoming and happy to answer any questions you may have. Large variety of coffee available and the selection is constantly changing (and again, theyll help you if have questions). Oh and they also offer bags of fresh roasted coffee.

Great place at the corner of California and brand. Local roaster. Excellent coffee. The shot of Burundi was bright and almost citrus. The latte was Blossom blend and almost fruit forward. Reminded me of Ethiopian.

The best coffee shop. The coffee is fantastic and I enjoy all the new experiments they do. They have whiskey coffee, whiskey lattes, charcoal lattes, etc. They also have great cold brew (that isn’t watered down). I have also been buying their beans to use for my home coffee.

Review №16

Would give 5 stars but service was pretty bland. I like going to places where they greet and thank every customer, and that was not the case here. Felt like I was being intrusive or something.The coffee though is very good! Prices are pretty similar to all other third wave coffee shops and they have a good amount of options, flavorings and creamers (Dairy and Non-Dairy). They also offer pastries and a few bottled products.Will give it another shot and hopefully then service will be better! Coffee could be good, but great service earns my loyalty.

The best cold brew in los angeles. The kyoto cold brew here is outstanding. The deepest richest flavor of any coffee weve had in the city. They also have a bourbon aged one that is super intense and really good. Please support this little coffee shop on the strip in Glendale. Owners are so nice and always seem very appreciative of people stopping in.

Love this local coffee shop! I dont know much about coffee but the workers here sure do! The place has changed a little bit since Ive last visited. Nothing too drastic. My experience here hasnt changed. Its always relaxing and quiet unlike going to Coffee Bean. (Photo is a bit old, there are new chairs/tables now)

Review №20

The best coffee roaster in Glendale. Their espresso roast is fruity and oh so flavorful with an after taste that will linger in mouth long after you finish your coffee (a sign of a perfect extraction). Make sure to order a cortado to truly experience the best Glendale (and perhaps L.A) has to offer.

This is my FAVORITE coffee shop in Los Angeles!! Ive tried so many coffee shops and this is LAs best roaster. If youre looking for good coffee - this is it! I get my whole beans from Regent and cant go without my coffee and latte every weekend. Nowhere else compares, youre always going to get a consistent drink, no matter who is making it. Never too acidic, never too bitter. Honestly, I cannot think more highly of this place!

This is my favorite coffee shop in Glendale! They roast their own beans and the coffee is just delicious. The whiskey barrel aged is just something amazing that I never tried before. Although during this very hot days I recommend my very favorite Matcha Iced Latte with Oat Milk!! 💚 they make the best in town.

Been ordering from them online since the Covid shut down. The coffee is amazing and so is the service! They deliver to my door in Pasadena within the day or the next day.

This place is phenominal. The Owner roasts coffee himself. Knows where the coffee came from (to the estate) and has a host of brewing methods. Not only is he super friendly, but hes passionate about his craft and exceptional at it. Great feel. Please, come and support this place, it would be a terrible loss for coffee lovers.

Ive popped in and out once in a while as a local, but Covid19 life helped bring this local roaster to the forefront for me. They exercise proper distancing guidelines (require masks, only allow 3 customers into foyer, marked out positions, online ordering app for preorder and pickup). Not only have I enjoyed my bean purchases for my daily home, but I also enjoy the free drink they supply with a bean purchase!They also provided very courteous customer service to me, and they gave very clear brewing ratio and grind level tips specific to my roast purchases. Please keep these folks in business!

This is one of my favorite spots in Glendale for coffee - sharing that honor with Highlight Coffee on Broadway. The staff is always friendly, the beverages are well made, and the owner is a fantastic small batch roaster. His coffee beans have been a staple in our home since moving to the area. The shop is small, so if youre looking for a spot to spread out and work this might not be the spot - tables are at a premium here.

Review №42

The most delicious coffee drinks Ive had in 46 years of coffee savoring and searching. There is virtually no bitterness here. Coffee flavors here are mild, rich and deep at the same time. I used to think coffee this great was impossible. Head and shoulders above any other coffee company Ive found. The owner and roaster, Leon, is truly gifted and everyone at Regent is passionate about coffee. They do pour-over, siphon and espresso and theyre consistently excellent brewers in all methods.Regent uses carefully chosen, world-class milk, chocolate, oat milk and almond milk. These fine ingredients are costly so the prices are a little higher than average. Worth every penny. The made to order food, savory or sweet, is good, too.There are at least two unique and fantastic inventions here - the Rose and the Whiskey Barrel drinks. All made in house from the real things - rose pedals and whiskey in barrels. But even with flavors like those and the mocha or vanilla, its the coffee thats always out-front and the star of the flavor profile. These drinks are never too sweet. Just right for grown-ups.The atmosphere is very relaxed & funky but the coffee is super classy and has changed my understanding of what coffee can be.

Regent Coffee is definitely Regent . Yes, Im addicted to this place, so much that I donated to help them buy a Coffee Roaster. Why do I love this place??

Peaceful, relaxing vibe. My mocha was smooth and chocolatey. I loved it. Roast: Blossom Blend. If I didnt already have 4 full bags of beans at home, I would have bought one.

Review №60

Great place with lots of potential, but poor execution. If you order the menu or just basic coffee drinks, great. But a coffee that you like and they just don’t know what to do or how to accommodate you. I mean a double espresso and top it with a coffee just isn’t that hard. And they’ll actually argue with you about what you want to order. I did get a good cup and the place is really cool.

If youve got the time stop by this local roaster and get a pour over. They know their coffee! If youre in more of a hurry their cold brew is delicious. Their pastry selection is quite limited, maybe only 4 options. The staff is always friendly and there are a few tables to sit inside and a couple with shade out front. They sell their beans by the bag for around $18 and you get a free coffee!

The perfect coffee roaster. Leon is friendly and helpful. My beans were roasted the same day I bought them and were among the best Ive ever had - on the same tier as Gracenote in Boston but less expensive. I live 30 miles away but will be going out of my way routinely to get beans from Leon.

Best latte I have ever experienced. Hands down. Kay, the barista gets the five stars for her wonderfully tasting, Tahitian Vanilla Latte, as well as her warm smile and sweet demeanor. The gentleman who rang me up was quick to tell me the distinction between the two options I was considering (the Rose and Tahitian Vanilla Latte).First and foremost, the thickness of the froth was foamy and not airy. I honestly was stunned that the consistency of the drink was smooth throughout, not watered down. I did add a couple tablespoons of half and half which added to the creaminess of this heaven sent concoction. Oh, and I substituted the whole milk for almond mild. Before leaving, I ended up getting my friend (who was waiting inside the car) the exact same thing and when I asked him what he thought of his, he told me this was different lol. Haha I knew I wasn’t crazy for feeling on cloud 9 with this drink after he said that. He’a a coffee and latte fanatic who’s always trying new places.

The best coffee Ive ever had, run by a wonderful husband and wife team and a passionate group of baristas. The husband roasts in-house all the beans they use, and the wide range of brew styles mean theres a coffee for everyone. For a weird treat, get their bottled Kyoto Cold Brew: It legitimately tastes like a coffee-forward whisky.

Review №73

The cold brew was lousy. I usually dont add sugar to my cold brews, but this drink absolutely needed something to make it taste better. I asked for simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water mixture). As I poured the simple syrup into my coffee I noticed there were black specks that lined the inside of the cruet near the top. It looked like mold. A woman that worked there took notice of me examining the bottle, so I asked if she knew what the black specks were. She said it was vanilla bean leftover from the vanilla syrup they sometimes use that bottle for, and she quickly took the bottle from me. I dont know why, but I expected her to say something like this. My question is, if that were in fact the case, why wouldnt they clean the bottle thoroughly before adding a different syrup/liquid? I know vanilla bean, I often use it myself, and I also know that it can be cleaned from a bottle with a bottle brush. I am also certain sugar and water causes mold, I know this to be true because we have to clean our hummingbird feeder frequently so this exact thing does not happen (also one of the first things learned in high school chemistry).The black specks were more indicative of mold and did not look like vanilla bean to me. Not happy, needles to say I did not drink my nearly $6 coffee. Waste of time and money. Please check the simple syrup bottle before using.

The Latte was THE BEST!!!! My trip to Melbourne Australia opened my eyes to a really good latte. Its so hard to find that same quality in US. But this place is IT!!! If you want to experience what a latte should really be like, skip the garbage starbucks or most other places that claim to make a latte. Come to this place. This is how a latte should be made!!!! Thank you, whoever made it for me on 10/15/2018 around 11:30 am.

Review №76

The Batistas Need To Learn Some CustomerService!.. I Just stopped in for the first time and was flatly greet by the man at the register, after asking about the Maple Cardamom latte, I ordered it. Promptly after tasting my drink I knew I hated the flavor. I immediately went back to counter to explain and politely asked for another drink, only to be told, with attitude& a stank face, the guy said he could only do something for me if there was something ACTUALLY wrong with the drink Are you kidding me? I asked again and said there was something wrong, and he said something about waste...I left my $6 latte on the counter but decided to go back in, asking for the 3rd time for another drink, I didnt even want my money just some espresso...they decided to give me a vanilla latte. The vanilla latte was great, dont get me wrong,but They should really take a line from the bigger coffee houses and give their paying customers what they want. Jerks.

Swing by to grab a refreshing Jasmine Green Tea Mojito drink after a morning run. I requested to make it half sugar and the drink came out with perfect sweetness with bits of lemons and mint inside the drink. They use products from local farmer markets vendors. The cafe is so cute with it patio seating outside. There is no much room to site inside the actual cafe since the capacity sign stated max of 5 people but plenty of seating with shades on the patio. Parking is only street parking along San Gabriel or park on the side street. Ill be back to try other drinks in the near future.
