The menu is a celebration of bold flavors and unique concoctions that you won’t easily find elsewhere.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. Any time you find a spot that is tucked away it is a win. The barista was hilarious. She made several jokes while making our coffees and I would go back just to chat it up with her again. But, the coffee itself was great. I find it difficult finding good coffee spots sometimes, but I would definitely come back here.

I really like the vibe and environment. It is relatively new so that makes it exciting. I liked that I could talk to the baristas and learn about the brand and shop. It’s nice because so many other shops you don’t get that personalized experience. The quality of the coffee was superb and the options are great. Beautiful place and excellent for getting work done here. You almost feel like you’re in Santa Monica or Venice. It has a relaxed beachy vibe in the middle of West Hollywood. Very special. Well done

I’ve been here two days in a row and it’s my new favorite in the neighborhood! Valentina is the kindest barista and convinced me to try the vegemite caramel latte which was delicious!! I also loved the Cafe de Olla latte I got the last time I was there. Truly lovely service, people, and coffee!

What a delightful place to have a coffee. The cortado was perfectly made and the small outdoor patio was inviting and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I've been here a couple times and let me just say, I wish I lived closer. The vibe is great, the atmosphere and staff are truly wonderful, and they simply have some of the best coffee around. As for music? Check. Great spot to hang with friends or meet someone? Check. Good people doing good stuff? Check. If you're near, stop by. You won't regret it! Treat yourself! Don't listen to the reviews that complain. Those are just unhappy people who love to bring others down to their level. PS: when are y'all gonna open up more shops up and down the West coast so we can all enjoy your amazing brews?!

We visited Tectonic Coffee Company today from Orange County, and it was well worth the drive! This Australian-owned coffee shop is a true hidden gem near West Hollywood. The space has a unique vibe, and you can tell right away that they take their coffee seriously. Their beans are carefully sourced from various origins, and you can really taste the quality—worlds apart from your typical commercial chain. If you’re in the area and need a pick-me-up during a busy day, this is the spot. Highly recommend grabbing a cup and experiencing the difference for yourself. ????????
