Explore LA's Newest Coffee Spots: Early 2025 Café Openings
A new wave of cafés has arrived in Los Angeles, and 2025 is already off to a solid start. From soft milk bread and fluffy Japanese pancakes to matcha lattes and precise pour-overs, many of these openings are clearly influenced by Tokyo café culture—and it shows in the details. These new spots are already drawing steady local crowds for everything from thick-cut sandwiches to specialty drinks. If you’re on the hunt for a new go-to or just curious about what’s buzzing, these four openings are worth adding to your coffee rotation.

Bread, Espresso & - Redondo Beach
This Tokyo favorite has landed in Redondo Beach earlier in 2025, bringing with it the softest milk bread you’ll find on the West Coast. Each bite feels delicate and rich, especially if you snag one with red bean filling. The coffee holds its own, but it’s the baked goods that make this place a standout. Expect a relaxed setting, friendly staff, and a line that’s worth the wait.

Chamberlain Coffee - Westfield Century City Mall
Chamberlain Coffee’s first brick-and-mortar has arrived at Westfield Century City, and yes—the drinks live up to the hype. From pistachio oat matcha to chocolate donut pairings, the menu is short, sharp, and good. The space is airy and bright with fast-moving lines, even at peak hours. It’s a smart stop before a long mall loop.
Takagi Coffee - West 3rd Street
Takagi Coffee brings a touch of Kyoto to Beverly Grove with its serene vibe and beautifully plated Japanese comfort food. The thick, jiggly pancakes are already a hit on social media—and they actually deliver on taste. Omurice and katsu sandwiches round out the menu, alongside smooth espresso drinks.
Picnic Coffee - Silver Lake
Picnic Coffee fits right into Silver Lake’s café landscape, but the sunny outdoor setup gives it an edge. It’s laid-back without feeling thrown together, and the spiced matcha latte is a low-key scene-stealer. The space is full of regulars reading, working, or people-watching under the trees. Ideal for a slow morning or showing off a favorite neighborhood spot to your out-of-town friends.
