The new outpost marks its first reserve concept
The team behind La La Land Kind Cafe traveled the world to prepare for the opening of its Beverly Hills location.
Debuting Dec. 13, this cafe says goodbye to the brand’s signature, welcoming yellow for a refined, tranquility-encouraging aesthetic that answers LLLKC leadership’s exploration of what the greatest coffee shop in the country looks and feels like if nothing was off limits.

Having traveled the globe for inspiration, LLLKC married Spanish, Italian and Japanese craftsmanship patterns that manifested as sculptural minimalism, a focus on stonework and ritual-driven hospitality.
“[LLLKC Beverly Hills is] the culmination of years of quiet experimentation,” says CEO Francois Reihani. “Nothing here is casual. Nothing is accidental.”

In the quest to develop LLLKC Beverly Hills, the team tasted more than 800 espresso roast profiles to find its right Italian-style match. For the perfect ceremonial grade matcha (poured from a hand-engineered tap system), it surveyed more than 700.

Only a limited allotment of iced only salted brown butter lattes (a cosmopolitan mix of French butter, brown sugar from Okinawa, Japan) are served each day and the vanilla beat latte — which can be made with matcha or espresso — dazzles with vanilla bean imported from Madagascar.

Other signature crème-topped beverages include matcha and Americano options and the Einspanner made with Brazilian sugar cane, vanilla and flaky sea salt. The latter two also come in mini sizes.
La La Land Kind Cafe Beverly Hills marks the seventh LLLKC in the Los Angeles area, but its first reserve location. Since arriving in L.A. in 2021, the Dallas-born concept has touched down from Santa Monica to Glendale.
