Welcome to Andante Coffee Roasters

“ The Coffee Experience: This is generally my go-to place, and I have had great success with their espresso blends at home. ​The Ethiopia: This time, I tried the Ethiopia single origin. The tasting notes are distinct—lime, honey, and guava. While the quality is there, I realized this specific flavor profile isn't for me (a bit too acidic/fruity), but if you like those bright notes, it delivers. ​Critical Observation: Bean Storage & Packaging: If you are buying whole beans, be careful. ​The Heat Issue: The retail bags are displayed directly on top of an open refrigerator. I noticed the bags actually get warm (and sometimes hot) from the machine's exhaust. Heat destroys coffee freshness. I explicitly asked the staff to grab a bag from storage to avoid this, but sometimes they don't have back stock, leaving you with the heated bags. ​No Dates: The packages do not have a "Roasted On" date printed. You have to ask the staff, which is frustrating if you need to calculate degassing time. ​Atmosphere & Service: The shop offers good indoor seating, making it a nice spot to sit and enjoy a cup. The staff is always friendly, even when I ask for beans from the back. ​Parking: Note that there is no parking lot, so you will have to find street parking. ​Verdict: Great place to drink coffee. Hope they can make changes about beans from the fridge heat and print dates. ”

“ Popped into Andante Coffee Roasters on Beverly Blvd for a morning caffeine fix, and wow, this place lives up to its rep as a haven for coffee nerds! I ordered an Ethiopia pour-over and their barista horchata iced coffee, and both were absolute bangers. The Ethiopia pour-over was a total standout—bright, floral, with those juicy berry notes that just pop. You can tell they’re obsessive about their single-origin beans, and the barista’s precision in brewing made every sip feel like a craft experience. The horchata iced coffee was a fun twist—creamy, spiced, and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet like some places overdo it. The vibe here is spot-on: minimalist, modern, with warm wooden tones and clean lines. It’s the kind of place where you can hunker down with a laptop, crack open a book, or just have a chill chat without feeling rushed. Super quiet and focused, which I love for getting some work done. The staff were friendly but not in-your-face, and you can feel their passion for coffee in how they talk about the beans (they roast in-house, which is dope). Only downside? Parking on Beverly can be a bit of a hassle, so come early or be ready to circle for a spot. Also, the food menu’s pretty basic—pastries and toast—but you’re here for the coffee, not a full brunch spread. If you’re a coffee snob (like me) or just want a solid cup in a sleek, low-key space, Andante’s a must-visit. Already looking forward to my next pour-over! ”

“ When you enter, the atmosphere is real chill. The interior has hits of wood and the overall color is neutral. This is a good place to get a coffee, matcha, pastry, etc and get work done. My friend had a cinnamon roll and it looked AMAZING. Sadly they were sold out but I got to try this passion fruit danish and my mind was blown. It had a nice sweetness to it with a custardy texture. Might be one of the best danishes I’ve ever had. The filling was drooping out on each bite I took. My other friend got the matcha and said it was really good. Shout out to Josh for assisting us. Service was on point. ”
