C+M Coffee and Milk

Dropped by the LACMA today, and grabbed a quick bite at Coffee and Milk. I had a prepackaged Fiesta Taco Salad from the company GROW • EEN. It had taco walnut meat in it. This was my first time trying that, and it was really good. I enjoyed the latte C&M made. It wasn’t too sweet. It was pretty perfect. The staff was ok. Not very talkative but they made a good latte. The pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies were really good, too. There’s a nice seating area inside, and outside by the museum. Tip: They didn’t provide a lid or straw for their drinks, and I couldn’t see napkins anywhere. You may need to ask them for them. Tip 2: They accept Apple Pay.

One of the best iced chai lattes I’ve tried!!! (plus it has a milkshake version too)

Great coffee bar at LACMA. They have vegan pastry and nondairy. Use your Apple Pay here! Try the vegan green tea donut. It pretty delicious.

I have to rave about the velvet donut. It was so moist and delicious! The cream cheese frosting was great. This place is pricey but where else are we going to get some caffeine in between visiting art buildings.

We were looking for an appealing location to relax and drink coffee for an hour or so, and I really enjoyed this area. It is a perfect place to relax after the art museum, seeing the tar pits, or walking the grounds. You feel drawn in and welcomed. The location is nice and open. You can sit inside or outside, with the option of shade. The coffee was good, but the blueberry black tea donut was amazing. Prices were typical and higher than I like, but just seems to be how it goes. The baristas were very friendly. I will come back.

The hot tea is my favorite for a mid-museum break! They have a nice selection for even the pickiest tea drinker. The staff is friendly and provide quick, helpful service. Plenty of seating, ranging from tables to window seating to people-watch!

This place could do much better with a little improvement. The coffee selection is decent but they could add more new season flavors. The sandwiches aren't heated, the bread on mine was saggy and didn't taste fresh. Sadly for the price I paid. The brunette barista would do better with a "fresh up" in customer service. I was meeting a friend there and she grumped to us for "blocking the area" (there was no one there) , it felt more like TSA than a cafeteria. You would expect a more warming welcoming at such a charming place like Lacma. Overall we are regular customers and will still visit and order our favorite coffee as usual. But wanted to share this feedback to see if improvement is achieved soon. Cheers !

Stopped by here after walking around the La Brea Tar Pits and needed to rest. The giant copper balloon animal statue (outside of the nearby art museum ) attracted us here. Lots of different selections of gourmet pastries, and I love that they use a tamp and tap esspresso machine. It tastes so much better that way. I was also very impressed with how strong their espresso was!

Best milk shake we've ever had anywhere. We'll stop by LACMA just for it.
