Rise-N-Grind

My husband and I were strolling the boulevard and saw this place. The décor was pretty cool, the menu inscribed on the bottoms of skateboard decks – that was a nice touch! Our customer service was great, guess we got the ‘good’ employees! The place was calm, relaxing, and the blueberry muffin was scrumptious. If you are strolling down Hollywood Boulevard, stop in and get one of their delicious coffee concoctions… taste was superb!

Cleanliness is horrible. My Americano was waaaaay too watery. (All I drink are americanos so I know how they are made) and the workers are not very friendly. To serious. I will go to groundwork nearby instead. Thanks!!!

Looks charming, nice and big .
They have Stumptown coffee and I had picked an Americano up the night before — it was one of the more delicious coffees I’ve had in months! Delicious from the first sip

Coffee and food are good but would rather eat my owns dog poo then deal with the terrible customer service that we received here… At least he would smile at you while he delivered it to you!
If the people who worked here could cheer up a little bit, they would receive a 4 – 5 star rating!

Really spacious, grrrreat place for a small 1 – 4 person mtng. Good music Everyone here separate on their phones not many actually pigging out on breakfast sandwich like I am. But it’s tasty on croissant bread. $ 5 orange juice is not all that. Really sweet girl brought food to my seat.

Decent coffee place.
Cool vibe…
Witty staff…
Cool coffee (cuz Cold Brew Nitro)
… still, it’s got that Hollywood Boulevard stink that lingers in the air. That feeling of cheap, fast, and commercial.
Not their fault, it’s just this street

The service is slacking… But this review still carries a 4-​star rating solely because of the ICED HORCHATA LATTE. It is heaven in a cup. Just go, just order it. You won’t regret it. It’s the only reason I go back.

Now a days it’s all about customer service. They are definitely lacking in this area. Twice I’ve been there, twice they have been idiots. The first time they forgot to make my drink and while all my friends got theirs I was left with a stupid look.
Need I say more.

This place was awful, the customer service was atrocious. It took a solid 30 minutes to get a simple bagel and muffin. They turned their back when I tried talking to them and rolled their eyes when I asked for a to-​go bag when I finally got my food that took months to make. If you’re looking for a good place to go for food or coffee I recommend Starbucks this place was horseshit.

That damn Hair bender!!! I had one cuz I was a lil tired at like 6– now it’s damn near 2am and my eyes refuse to close! Geez, my hair will definitely be bent later once this caffeine high turns down :-[ Gotta give them all their points cuz I’m rising but Lord knows once the grind starts in 4 hours I’m gonna be a Zombie! Unless you are caffeine addicted, only grab one of them bad boys in the morning!

Its a decent café but they close so goddamn early, what are you… costco?
10pm closing time should be banned for cafes in middle of hollywood.
Not coming here unless its early in the day.

LA trendy coffee shop at its finest. Right on Hollywood Boulevard and Wilcox. The place is huge (for coffee shops) and has a rad menu printed on all black skateboards. Plenty of seating and outlets conveniently in the middle of the tables. Loud, trendy, dubstep music. Would be pretty hard to get any work done here.
The coffee itself is great quality. They also have cold brew on tap. However, prices are super high and the «small» coffee is about the size of a shot glass.
Overall, decent place. I just like my coffee shops a little cozier and without rave music ambiance. :)

This has actually been a bit of recent coffee haunting whenever I’d spend my random nights on the boulevard of Hollyweird.
Granted, the place can be a bit quiet a couple hours or so near closing time, although I have been hearing lately that they do weekly mic performances here, so it’s definitely welcomed!
Kyle, one of the main barista honchos of this establishment, has been both very friendly and helpful on each visit I’ve paid here. He’ll gladly help make your drink and make recommendations on what to get here, whether you want something iced, blended, or piping hot. I almost always grab the iced hazelnut lattes, to which, for a fee, Kyle would gladly add extra espresso to. They’ve always had that balanced amount of sweetness, as well as that caffeinated kick in the face for anybody looking to grab some creative inspiration whilst watching the cool cats of the boulevard wander through… all through the comforts of a nice wood communal table!
Check these guys out, they’re a must for any LA coffeeholic!

OK, self-​described coffee snob here. I mean it. I’m a coffee bitch. But only with iced. I love my iced coffee…
I was on a walk around the office neighborhood and was jonesing for IC. Stopped in here and while the clientele was a bit hispter, the coffee was straighforward. Good, strong, flavorful, not bitter.
Good stuff.

Great coffee, a bit overpriced. Décor is nice, place is clean. Music is a little loud for a coffee shop; if you’re coming to get work done be sure to bring headphones.
Stick to the coffee menu, or you’ll pay almost $ 10 for a «turkey» sandwich. Aka a roll of ciabatta, one piece of lettuce, a piece of turkey ONE, and one slice of Swiss.

If you dip into coffee shops for actual coffee, I can’t help you. We are not the same. I hate coffee so much, but oh how I do love muffins. Was in from out of town and our AirBnB was on the same block. Great staff and varied offerings. I had an apple-​cinnamon muffin situation type thing – it was awesome. There’s millions of places you can go in the neighborhood for coffee shop environment/​offerings and I can’t imagine you will be disappointed by this one. Solid.

This wasn’t a planned visit, however, we found it on the way back to our hostel the night before.
Interior is hipster clean like the shops at home.
Lots of seating inside and two hours of wifi available. I ended up working on my Kanye West review on my netbooks while sharing a latte with my bestie.
Great customer service. There was a Minor issue with my order but they were quick and courteous to resolve it in a proper manner.
Some treats. Lots of cold press juices. Decent prices.

I can’t attest to any food here, because I am simply in love with one thing and one thing alone– nitro cold brew coffee. I realize I sound like an über-​hipster, but it’s my new fave thing. What is it, you ask? It’s coffee cooled and infused with nitrogen so as to give it the consistency of a Guinness… no ice, but ice cold. Mmmm.
Also, really feeling the space they have. This coffee house is huge for Hollywood– I could see myself getting some work done here. However, it is in the most touristy part of Hollywood so beware of the crazies. And last, parking seems tough, so this is more of a walk-​to or bike-​to destination.

This is an awesome spot to come study or get some work done!
I love the design/​ambiance of this place. Incredibly chill and laid back. There are lots and lots of tables and lots of space.
Their coffee is ok, definitely not the reason why I keep coming back, although the vanilla almond milk latte is pretty good.
I love that they have outlets and usb ports built into the table.

Not the best coffee shop I’ve been to. At all.
The ambiance is modern and clean, I’ll give them that. We stopped in for some warmth on our way over to the Wax Museum. The first guy who helped us was really nice, and he even invited us to stay for their open mic night featuring an American Idol contestant.
Since we decided to stay for a bit, I decided to order a drink even though I hadn’t planned on it. I wanted to try their iced horchata latte — but they were out. So I went with a hot chai latte. It was extremely watery and tasted like creamy hot water… On top of that, it was way overpriced. $ 4 and change for an 8 oz cup?! Ridiculous. that’s worse than Starbucks. The second of their two stars goes to the zucchini bread I ordered, THAT was good.
Low rating for the lack of taste in my drink, and for the attitude that a girl gave us during the whole visit. She was pretty grumpy & rude — maybe she should drink some of that coffee she serves (unless that’s watery too…). Won’t be back — bad service goes a long way!

Friendly staff. Nice décor and delicious coffee! I had the lattee! Hard to find on Hollywood blvd!
