Velo Coffee

I tried a matcha latte and an everything jalapeño cream cheese croissant here--both were delicious. I was especially happy to find that the matcha was unsweetened (which can be hard to find), and you have the option to add a sweetener or omit it entirely. They offer a variety of plant-based milks, and overall, the matcha was very flavorful. The café also had a great selection of pastries, including some vegan and gluten-free options. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made for a positive experience. I visited on a Sunday around 9 AM and there was no line, which was a nice bonus. It's a very modern and small place, but you can sit down outside at the tables provided in the middle of the outdoor area of the shopping center. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to study or work from, but it's perfect for relaxing while enjoying your coffee and pastries. One thing to note is that it can be a bit tricky to find if you're following Google Maps--you'll need to walk down the stairs or take an elevator from street level, as it's located just below a shopping center. Overall, I definitely recommend checking it out.

For my first visit, I tried an iced chai latte with strawberry cold foam and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was yummy; I ordered it warmed so each bite had melted chocolate and hit the spot. The chai was ok; the flavor was quite subtle and didn’t have that strong chai flavor and tasted more milky than I like. I’ll probably visit again to try a different drink and their food options.

Delicious coffee and 5-star service! For anyone else struggling to find it, it’s at the lowest level of FIGat7th. Coffee is lovely and strong. I got the horchata nitro cold brew and my mom got a cappuccino. The person working was friendly, attentive, and went as far as to bring our drinks to our table at the food court. I wish I got his name, but he was working Saturday, May 13th around 9:30 am.

delicious coffee and i appreciate that they have seasonal flavors! great value for a dtla spot! there is little interaction with baristas/staff and it is pretty crowded inside.

La Velo is the best thing to come to Silverlake in a while. The coffee is always fresh hot or cold and There is always a wide variety of teas available. Everything always taste great and Austin (owner of La Velo) always makes sure to make adjustments to your liking. Speaking of Austin he is the nicest person I’ve met in a long while. Every time I come by to get a drink or a treat for my dogs we have a great conversation. Austin even graciously helped me with a school photography project. Allowing me to take pictures of him as he worked. Even if the coffee was bad which is isn’t I would still come back just so we could have a quick chat. Amazing coffee Amazing treats And an amazing person

Drink and food delicious…the place is a pick up spot. The space is tiny and no seating but outside there is a plaza with plenty of tables. Another employee came in and got the food items done very quickly and got me a cup of water while I waited for my drink. Staff was polite, all customers seemed happy and excited so I think locally it’s a great spot and it’s downstairs in a big shopping area so it’s a great location. I was off my diet and it was a splurge! It was worth it!!! Jalapeño croissant and tiramisu latte mmm

Why get your normal everyday Starbucks when this beautifully small coffee shop exists in this plaza! I ordered the horchata nitro cold brew with macadamia milk and my only complaint is that the cute owner/coffee mastermind who made my drink doesn’t come along with it. It paired very well with the pasties available, especially the Kouign-amann. It far exceeded my expectations that I had to pay it forward and I paid for the drinks for the customer group that came right after me. Oh and did I mention, MOBILE!? ORDER?! 10/10 recommend.

⭐ I only leave 5-star reviews for places I’ve actually been ⭐ Here, great for take out! I ordered Iced Chai Tea Latte and it was good! And a good mount as well.
