Comet Over Delphi, 115 N Ave 59, Los Angeles (Highland Park), CA 90042, Score: 41/50

The highly stylish Comet Over Delphi is certainly attracting the crowds in Highland Park. The large windows open onto the street and make the place bright and breezy.

Score: 41/50

Food: 4/5 – For food, they’re serving pastries from LA’s Café Tropical. Pastries include croissants, guava and cheese pastries, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and muffins. The pastry case didn’t have any labels. The butter croissant was decent but not worth $5.

Coffee: 4/5 –  Lots of options, (drip, pour over, cold brew, espresso drinks, espresso sodas), matcha (including higher end matcha reserve drinks), tea, and other drinks. Milk choices: Oat milk, almond milk, or whole milk

Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, unlimited, ask for the password

Ambiance: 5/5 – Minimalist living room with vinyl records, a record player, open floor plan, brick walls, plants, and newspapers hanging on the wall.

Noise: 5/5 – Quiet, relaxing music

Plugs: 1/5 – I think I saw one

Parking: 4/5 – Not too bad but you’ll probably have to walk a block or two for unlimited free parking, there are also a few paid parking lots

Comfort: 4/5 – Wood chairs aren’t padded but they do have some plush sofas, tables are a good height for laptop camping

Bathroom: 5/5 – One unisex but very nice

Art: 4/5 – Nothing yet

Tips: Cash is not accepted. I think they sell books too? Some outdoor seating is available. It might be hard to find a table.

Comet Over Delphi, 115 N Ave 59, Los Angeles (Highland Park), CA 90042

The highly stylish Comet Over Delphi is certainly attracting the crowds in Highland Park. The interior looks like a minimalist’s living room, with vinyl records, a record player, open floor plan, brick walls, and newspapers hanging on the wall. The large windows open onto the street and make the place bright and breezy.

The menu includes coffee drinks (drip, pour over, cold brew, espresso drinks, espresso sodas), matcha (including higher end matcha reserve drinks), tea, and other drinks. For food, they’re serving pastries from LA’s Café Tropical.

The menu is minimalist, so there isn’t much information. I did find out that they do not roast their own coffee, but use an Australian coffee roaster. Pastries include croissants, guava and cheese pastries, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and muffins. The pastry case didn’t have any labels.

Flat white ($6): a tad more expensive but also smaller than average. But it did come with a chocolate covered almond (very European of them). Slightly bitter but pretty good.

Butter croissant ($5): On the softer side but buttery and slightly crisp, too soft though Service is better than average. They bring your drinks to your table (very few places do this). The cashier was very patient with all of my questions. The restroom was very nice. The music is relaxing. There is free wi-fi. Ask for the password.

The place is a little pricey, and they should get better pastries.

4 out of 5 stars
