Aharon Coffee & Roasting Co.

Aharon Coffee & Roasting Co. is on Charleville Boulevard in Beverly Hills, and Aharon is usually behind the counter. A wall of beans from Yemen, Ethiopia, Colombia and more sits behind him, and there's a mezuzah at the door. The shop is small and calm, with outdoor seats under an awning. Lattes run $7 to $17.

The vanilla latte with house syrup is the regulars' favorite, and the hazelnut coffee is popular too. A cortado or straight espresso shows off the roast. The ceremonial-grade iced matcha is good. For beans, try the Bali-Indonesia, Yemen or Colombian. The food is vegan and gluten-free, like a vegan tuna sandwich and hummus. They offer weekly or monthly subscriptions and Turkish brewing tips.
