Lynx Coffee

This place is my second home and as a matcha enthuisiast I can confirm this is one of the best ever coffee/matcha shops in the world that deserves a Michelin star. It starts with their master barista, Jared, that crafted the recipes like a mad scientist. This is truly a specialty coffee shop where you can taste the difference and the love that goes into every cup. There is usually a line however, it's worth every sip!

Lynx coffee is truly one of a kind! I’m a matcha enthusiast and I can say with confidence that they serve some of the best! My picture doesn’t do them justice, but the quality is there. You can tell the baristas are a master of their craft and absolutely know what they’re doing. I’ve been meaning to try their coffee as well, but since I’m not always in the valley, I can’t help but keep coming back for the matcha. It’s seriously that good! On the right, is the hinata blend. This is my go to. I always get it with half n half (personal preference) and quarter sweet with orange blossom honey. On the left, is the uji blend. It’s such a unique flavor sometimes I specifically crave this one. It’s got a nutty flavor to it, similar to almond butter. It’s amazing, truly. But I do recommend it with dairy milk. Hinata has more of the classic matcha flavor, more floral if that makes sense. Easily paired with any milk, dairy or non dairy. They also sell some of the matcha powder they use (it’s the Kettl brand— extremely good quality, really reflects the taste!) So I’ve attempted to make some of my own at home. Not quite as good, but it’s a start. They have some seating inside, pretty quiet. Good to have a chat with your friends or get some work done. And even more seating outdoors. Street parking only, there’s free parking on the residential street (sunnyslope ave) but it’s competitive, so parking can be difficult. Otherwise just metered on Ventura. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s seriously the best! Some of the best customer service I’ve experienced as well, they really make me feel right at home. 10/10 ⭐️

Great coffee spot in Sherman Oaks. The coffee was excellent and you can tell they use high-quality beans. The place is very clean with a nice modern vibe and the staff were friendly and welcoming. They also have pastries and light food options, and there’s seating outside if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee there. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Lynx is a great neighborhood coffee shop with excellent vibes. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it an easy place to linger. The coffee is very well done, with nicely balanced notes and an acidity that hits just right without being overpowering. Everything feels thoughtful, down to the details. And yes, the mugs deserve a shoutout too. They’re pretty cool and add to the overall experience.

I hate that I love paying $10 for coffee here (w/tip). It’s definitely the best in the valley. Tastes like Maru, iykyk and it ruined every other spot for me. Hope they can open a second location with a more lounge / work friendly atmosphere and better parking. But as far as coffee goes, you guys win.
