What’s a bean mood?
It’s what you feel like drinking today: bright and fruity, rich and chocolatey, something you’ve never tried. Your bean mood is your taste, and the right local roaster for it is usually closer than you think.
Take the three-question quiz on the map and we’ll put the places that fit your mood first, with a few stretch picks if you like surprises. Your mood and your saved places stay on your device; there’s no account to make.
How a place gets on the map
It’s about the beans
Every place either roasts its own coffee or pours hard-to-find roasters from elsewhere. We start with local roasters.
We check it ourselves
We confirm each place on its own website or its own social bio: who roasts the coffee, the address and the hours.
We show the bean
Where a roaster has a signature coffee, we name it, so you know what to order when you walk in.
Two kinds of places
Roasters and their cafes. The coffee in your cup was roasted by the people who run the place, often a few miles away.
Guest roastersBars that rotate beans from other roasters, sometimes from the other side of the world. They’re how you try a coffee from Berlin or Osaka without leaving LA.
Lost & Ground
Our name for the rare beans and hidden roasters you’d walk right past: the micro-roaster with a machine on the counter, the cafe whose house blend comes from a few streets over.
Some of our best finds came from walking past a window. If you know one we’re missing, tell us.
