LAMILL Coffee - Silverlake

This is a super cute spot in silver lake , I came here because of the all the reviews . The service was great and the pastries were decent - I thought the coffee was good . Not great . Subtle flavors of the syrups , ordered the vanilla bean latte and the cortado de olla. Service was great though and the vibe was too .

Surprised to see so many mixed reviews about this Silverlake coffee shop. I thought it was great, and the menu featured a few very cool, unique options I knew I had to try. For this first visit, I went with their Hong Kong milk tea. Now, I was initially looking for a lower caffeine option, and it is only after I ordered that I decided to look up the caffeine content online and I saw it’s actually very loaded with caffeine. But, that’s on me. The actual drink itself was great. Actually, one of my favorite drinks that I tried during my trip. I will say the top is loaded with a lot of froth, but the actual tea itself is wonderful. Nicely creamy, perfect balance of sweetness, tea flavor is still strong, and just hits the spot in every way I wanted. Really recommend trying it even as a first timer like myself.

Lamill is a fun neighborhood spot to hang out or work, with great vibes and staff, but the dining experience has declined recently unfortunately. They seem to have shifted from freshly made food to “grab and go” style. The food is no longer plated (now boxed), and now picked up by the customer (not brought by a waiter). This all would be fine, but the prices are too high given the experience, eg $20 for a breakfast burrito that was reheated, not made to order. It’s too bad because they had some truly excellent items before (quiche, mushroom omelette, unique pastries baked in house). I would still recommend going to here to enjoy the space and the lovely staff, but manage your expectations for the dining experience, especially if you look at past photos and reviews.

Be careful of ordering the pastries. They are left out without a display case and I saw a fly crawling all over them. Otherwise it's a good space, with decent food and expensive coffee. Good atmosphere to get some work done.

Got a simple vanilla oatmilk latte. Espresso was burnt and overpowered all of the flavors in the oatmilk and vanilla syrup. Service was fine. Atmosphere was very posh and elitist. Spent $9 and change for a bad latte.

Adorable cafe in Silverlake - the interior was cute with nice framed pictures on the wall, good seating, indoor and outdoor, and the service was good. There’s a free water station but the water tasted like tap water and it didn’t taste as appetizing, they have a limited gluten free menu but I tried the arugula peach salad and my friend had their nachos dish (forgot what it’s called but it’s also GF) and it was okay. The salad was good but it was a salad; not mind blowing by any means but healthy and light. It’s a typical coffee / cafe shop and fun to stop by if you’re visiting in the area!!

It’s a very spacious spot where you can chill or work on a few stuff. The matcha latte I ordered hit good! I didn’t expect their matcha was decent. Their burrito was pretty good too. The combo of guacamole and spicy sauce. The only downside is the price of it. It was kinda pricey for two items. Total came out to be around $30 plus tips. But for the vibe, service and food quality, it might be worth it.

Been coming here for the past few weeks. I had some friends tell me they really like it, but I honestly felt pretty different. The coffee itself seems like its handled with care, but their syrups don't really taste like anything to add onto it? I a few different types of drinks to makes sure I wasn't just having a bad time with one taste, but all of them just seem like a weird taste with no distinction. BUT!!!!!!!!! This spot's specialty is by far their pastries and food items. If you're able to grab one before they sell out, you absolutely have to try their almond croissant. An older woman in the area recommended it to me and I've been dreaming about it since. Staff also rocks.
