On a weekend morning, the line outside Community Goods can stretch down a quiet Beverly Grove street, and almost everyone in it is waiting for the same few drinks. Across town in West Hollywood, a second café serves the same menu with a much shorter wait.

What Is Community Goods?

Community Goods is a neighborhood café and bodega in Los Angeles. It serves specialty espresso, Rocky’s ceremonial matcha, signature cream-topped lattes, house-made toast, breakfast sliders and sandwiches, and it also sells books, notebooks and magazines at the counter.

The first café opened in February 2023 at 710 N Edinburgh Ave in Beverly Grove, and a second followed inside the Pacific Design Center on Melrose Ave in West Hollywood. Its minimalist room and square-logo cups made it one of the most photographed cafés in Los Angeles.

Why Is Community Goods So Popular?

A few things together turned a small Beverly Grove café into one of the busiest in Los Angeles.

Cream-Topped Lattes

The Einspänner Latte, double espresso under sweetened cream, sea salt and cocoa, is the drink people line up for, along with the Vanilla Bean Latte and Vic’s Cafe con Leche.

Rocky’s Matcha

The café runs its own ceremonial-grade matcha program, Rocky’s Matcha. The Matcha Latte and the off-menu Matcha Spänner are two of its most ordered drinks.

Breakfast Sliders

Four sliders with scrambled eggs, American cheese and house hot sauce on toasted Hawaiian rolls. They went viral and inspired countless copycat recipes, including our copycat breakfast sliders recipe.

Design and the Square Logo

A bright, minimalist room and the square-logo cup made the café a favorite backdrop for social media, which helped it spread fast.

Brand Collaborations

In 2026 the café teamed up with SKIMS on a Caramel Latte and exclusive merch, which pulled in fashion fans as well as coffee fans.

Which Location Should You Visit?

Choose Edinburgh Ave if

  • It is your first visit and you want the original café
  • You want to order ahead online for pickup
  • You are bringing a dog and want outdoor seating
  • You are near Melrose Place, Beverly Grove or La Cienega

Choose the Pacific Design Center if

  • You want the best chance of a shorter line
  • You need to stay later, since it is listed with longer hours
  • You are in West Hollywood or near the design district
  • You are pairing coffee with a visit to the Pacific Design Center

So, the Pacific Design Center café is the better pick for most visits, because it serves the same core menu with longer hours and a shorter wait.

What Matcha Does Community Goods Use?

The café uses Rocky’s Matcha, its own ceremonial-grade matcha program. The matcha is sourced from Fukuoka, Japan, and the hojicha (roasted green tea) comes from Uji, Japan. Every matcha drink on the menu is made with it, and you can add a matcha shot to any drink for $2.00.

Community Goods x SKIMS

In March 2026, SKIMS marked the first anniversary of its Los Angeles flagship with a coffee collaboration. The two brands released a Caramel Latte for $7.50, served at SKIMS Sunset and at the Edinburgh Ave café, along with exclusive merch sold at the SKIMS LA flagship.

The partnership then traveled east. From September 10 to 13, 2026, SKIMS ran a joint pop-up at 39 Wooster St in SoHo, New York, with a limited zip-up and tote bag. The merch sold out fast.

Note: The Caramel Latte and the pop-up merch were limited releases. Neither is on the regular menu.

The Story Behind Community Goods

The brand opened its first café on Edinburgh Ave in February 2023. Founder Pedro Cavaliere was working as a personal assistant to the musician A-Trak when the Covid lockdowns inspired him to open his own café.

Within months, the café became a social media favorite, known as much for its lines as for its breakfast sliders. It added a second café inside the Pacific Design Center, built its own matcha brand, Rocky’s Matcha, and in 2025 was announced as a tenant of The Lawn in Brentwood.

Tips for Your Visit

  • Go early on a weekday. Weekend morning waits can run 45 minutes or more.
  • Try the PDC café. Its line is usually shorter than at Edinburgh Ave.
  • Order ahead. The Edinburgh Ave café takes online pickup orders when online ordering is on.
  • Mind the breakfast cut-off. Sliders stop at 12pm on weekdays and 1pm on weekends.
  • Ask about I.Y.K.Y.K. The rotating extra drink list includes the Matcha Spänner and Joe Matcha Latte.
  • Swap milks for free. Oat and almond milk cost nothing extra.
  • Look at the counter. Pastries, books and notebooks rotate, and popular pastries can sell out.
  • No reservations. Both cafés are walk-in only.
