Dayglow | West Hollywood 1. Totoro -- black sesame, activated charcoal, distilled coffee, orange blossom, raw honey, coconut, oatmilk DayGlow in West Hollywood is a small café known for its healthy drinks. I tried their Totoro drink, which was made with activated charcoal and black sesame! I was initially iffy about the charcoal, but you could hardly taste it as it was hidden behind all the other ingredients. It was everything I could imagine in a 'healthy' coffee!

While the iced lattes were good and unique, I wouldn't come back here for them. The next time I come to Dayglow I will exclusively be looking for their specialty selections of pourover and espressos. Somehow, I didn't even notice them when I was there, but I have since seen their website and am so curious about the coffees that they offer.

When it comes to finding the best in third-wave coffee, we will go anywhere. Downtown LA, Portland, Seattle, SF, San Diego, Hamburg, Camden, NY, Costa Rica... we've been to more coffee houses than restaurants, and we rate the harder as well. Dayglow is, in my humble opinion, at the pinnacle of the movement. They have the best coffee, from the best roasters, from around the world. Looking for something light? They've got it. A blended drink, yep that's here too. What about a co-ferment with eucalyptus? Ahh, duh... and it's amazing. This place is not about ambience or seating, it's about getting the best coffee you can. The staff is great, even if there's only a single person working. But don't think you're gonna rush in and rush out, there's pour-overs and iced coffee is being made, hand, pulled espresso and more. Not only can you taste some of the best coffee on the planet, but you can also take some home with you from some of the best roasters in the game. If you like coffee, go to Dayglow.

Nothing like a Midday Glow up on a sunny day! If you want GOOD coffee, spot by here. Yes, it's pricey ($7-$10 for a latter or $3.50 for a vegan donut) but I promise you, you won't find better quality and service. What we ordered: Iced Warhol has 2 shots of espresso with a cream top and orange peel. Think of it as a old fashion latte. It's my favorite. (small size 2 shots or large size with 4 shots) Iced Cha Cha : two shots of espresso, condensed oat, milk, cinnamon. Super refreshing and strong. Parking is a challenge but there's plenty of street/meter parking. They also have a wonderful lounge to sit inside with plenty of tables/seating.

A lovely experience all around! Everyone I interacted with here was very friendly, from the customers who were waiting to the two kind baristas. The totoro was really yummy - probably one of the yummiest mixed coffee drinks I've ever had. The cardamom bun wasn't anything super special but it was good as most cardamom buns are. There was a limited selection of other pastries as well. The seating area was pretty empty on a Saturday morning, as most people seem to get their drinks to go. Love the indoor-outdoor vibes, especially on a nice day. Street parking available. Would totally come back to try more of their drinks!

I absolutely love the coffee here! The Matcha is very good too. Love the vibe here, they are so friendly and welcoming. Drinks are made to order quickly and they have a much better variety than other coffee shops. Good quality coffee, highly recommended!

After coming to Dayglow once a week for the past 3 months, I feel like it's time for a fair review. Coffee - Exceptional. If you are looking for a fantastic pour over, and if a Rare Glow is on the menu, don't hesitate. If you're not into some funky fruity flavors, then ask the barista for a more medium roast and they'll be able to point you to the perfect cup. I've tried many and have not gone wrong a single time! Creations - My partner's favorite creation is the Warhol 2.0 with its unique citrus and spice flavors. My favorite is the Totoro because I love anything with black sesame. I've also tried the Military Latte, Hotel Chevalier, Elvis, and Alyssa Lynch, and while some of these could be a little too special for my taste, I never regret trying them (because they're truly unique), and can't help but wonder how they make flavors work together! On days when I'm not feeling as bold, I just go back to the Warhol 2.0 or the Totoro. :) Beans - They sell a variety of well known roasters and will have different rotations so you'll never get board. Some of these can be very pricy, so make sure to check out the price tag or ask the barista before assuming anything! The baristas are very knowledgeable and great at what they do. However, during the times that we come, I've only seen 1 barista at a time behind the counter so the service can be a little slow at times if there's a line. If you have time, come by and check it out!!

So expensive. My dad was not impressed by the normal cappuccino. I liked mine but not to the degree of the price. Service is counter only. Ambiance was nice. They opened a much larger area than before.

I don't know what I just drank (the Totoro) but I know it tastes like a French New Wave kiss close up and makes my eyes happy to look at and is part of a Ghibli name inspired menu (cheap shot) so... even as a non-coffee drinker - I will be back to try the rest of these "creations". Service is kind and the vibe is cool but unpretentious. Seems like another spot that could coast by on location but it follows through with amazing drinks.
