Why go
Vienna drinks lead the coffee order
The drink identity at Yeems Coffee in Los Angeles runs through espresso, matcha and cream-topped Vienna-style signatures rather than a sprawling café list. The espresso side covers Americano, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, flat white and latte, then extends into housemade vanilla, dulce de leche, mocha, caramel, lavender and honey lattes. The Vienna treatment is the through line: a cap of cream over the drink, which is what separates the Vienna Latte from the plain latte sitting a line above it on the board, and the Vienna Matcha from a standard iced matcha.
The signatures are what define the counter: Vienna Latte, Vienna Black, Mint Chocolate, Buttercream Latte, Ube Buttercream Latte and Vienna Matcha. Away from coffee there is Chai Latte, Strawberry Milk, Ice Chocolate, Hot Chocolate and Passion Peach Tea, so a group ordering in two directions can still order in one place.
A small room built for a fast order
The space is small and tight, with limited seating that shapes how long anyone stays. This is a counter you visit rather than settle into, and the service is built for that: orders move quickly, the staff stay friendly and welcoming even through the busiest stretches, and the drinks come out consistently enough that regulars keep coming back year after year.
Yeems was named in The Infatuation’s 2026 matcha guide, which fits what the counter actually does. The matcha work is not a sideline to the espresso. It carries equal weight on the board, and the Vienna treatment gets applied to both, which is the clearest thing this counter does that other Los Angeles rooms do not.
Order the Vienna Latte first
Start with the Vienna Latte, the drink most tied to the reputation here. If matcha is the reason for the trip, order the Vienna Matcha instead, and take it iced with oat milk. For a sweeter espresso, the Buttercream Latte and the Ube Buttercream Latte are the obvious next steps, with Mint Chocolate and Vienna Black covering the darker end and the dulce de leche, lavender, honey and housemade vanilla lattes filling in between.
Food is lighter and coffee-adjacent: pastries and scones, meant to sit beside a drink rather than to replace lunch. Order one with the first cup rather than treating the visit as a meal, and the counter makes sense immediately.

Frequently asked questions
What should I order at Yeems Coffee?
Order the Vienna Latte first, since it is the drink most tied to the reputation here. If matcha brought you in, the Vienna Matcha is the equivalent, and it works iced with oat milk. Sweeter options include the Buttercream Latte and the Ube Buttercream Latte, and pastries or scones sit alongside any of them.
Is Yeems Coffee a good place to work?
Not really. The room is small and tight, with limited seating that keeps visits short, and the counter is set up for quick orders rather than long stays. It works best as a stop on the way somewhere else, with the drink taken away or finished at one of the few seats before the next order arrives.
