Carrera Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
We've been coming to Carrera for a long time now. We come with the family and always enjoy the warm hospitality, great espresso and energy. I always try something new and this time I had the strawberry infused matcha latte. It is absolutely divine!
This cafe needs more credit! I have been to LA 6 times now, and the lattes here are by far the best. On the pricier side, but I would pay every time for their coffee. I typically get a decaf vanilla latte with soy milk, and it is perfect. The decor is cute, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating.
Amazing coffee and even better food. Everyone needs to try this place out, you will not regret it!! Concept and ambiance is beautiful!! Highly recommend
Great place to work from or hang out with a friend! We got the hot chocolate and iced latte, both were good, and since we were there during the end of day, we both got a free pastry! They also have free WiFi and outlets and lots of parking around. Really liked my experience at Carrera cafe!
Mitchell not sure if he was the manager or not but he should be did an amazing job helping out me and my hungover friends figure out what we wanted. He didnt even get upset when I politely told him that the drink I ordered was gross he helped me find something I actually liked. Will definitely stop back in
Happened to come across carrera cafe this weekend. I had a vanilla latte and the avocado toast, both which were pretty good!
Very chick and stylish cafe on Melrose Ave next to the tourist attraction, Paul Smith Pink Wall. Open, bright and cozy, with beautiful black and white floor. It offers espresso, famous lattes with ripple effect, salads, sandwiches, snacks and sweets. It has both indoor and outdoor sitting. You can see many influencers visiting this charming place.
A cute coffee shop with unique decor, amazing coffee and delicious food, I love their cappuccino. They have free Wi-Fi and outlets. Inside and outside seating. Will certainly be back for lunch.
