Woodcat is, what I would call a utilitarian coffee house. Bare basics, concrete floor, steel sheet wrapped table tops, and woodish walls. Unfortunately on this day with a less than enthusiastic barista. I wasnt greeted when I walked in, stood there for a minute, then found a table in the back and returned with my cup. I presented my own cup as i usually do (a camouflaged basic plastic Starbucks cup) and was charged $4+ tax, for one cup of coffee. For which, especially after tasting the coffee, was less than thrilled. For the record, had i left my cup at home, and been presented with a new paper cup lid and sleeve, Woodcat coffee is $3 and $4 per cup, I requested a cup of medium roast, and was told that "all of our coffee was medium roast". The coffee I had was an unusually chocolaty/sweet black coffee. Id probably give 3.5 stars, but rounding down here.

What a great coffee spot! Such a relaxed environment with awesome coffee, which makes it the perfect place to get our weekend coffee. This place is great for espressos. The beans that they use are Wrecking Ball from San Francisco. The pastries are from Sugarbloom Bakery, and some are sweet yet savory treats with an Asian twist. They go perfectly with the perfectly pulled espresso. We always get a cup of drip coffee to go, which is also very good. They are right on Sunset so you should be able to find some street parking.

Hands down one of the best coffee shops in the area. Woodcat has always got a crowd, but they have plenty of seating and outlets, so you can always find a spot. Many locals frequent this place and for good reason--their Wrecking Ball coffee drinks are smooth and tasty, their pastries are delicious (from Sugarbloom Bakery), and their tea selection is also great. Go for a cortado and pair it with a miso kouign amann or kimchi croissant.

Great neighborhood quaint little coffee bar. Met my Okcupid date here. Great friendly service, very fresh and tasty coffee. Nice seating options to sit around and have a 2 hour conversation. I heard the desserts are very good maybe next time I will try one. Plenty of ample street parking and in the heart of Echo Park. Has a very artist hipster feel.

This coffee shop is really awesome. I am a coffee lover and when I tried its cappuccino, I cant resist myself to order one more. Their bakery items are also very amazing. Its a nice place to hang out with friends. If you are a coffee lover then I would recommend you to visit this coffee bar.

Great coffee and a really cool space. Liked the minimalist menu too. Sure there are lots of kinds of drinks, but no sizes. They make it how they think it should be. Soy/almond milk options. There were some killer looking pastries, but I wasnt eating so I cant offer thoughts.

Woodcat is owned by a lovely married couple who really know how to make you feel at home. They are methodical and passionate about every drink they make and it shows in the taste. Pastries are great too. One of my favorite local hangs and has become like a second home!

Visited several shops on my trip to L.A., but Woodcat was by far the best. Cozy little shop, precision baristas rocking a Faema E61, and pulling sublime espresso. Not sure what beans they had, but stuck a nice blend of character and acidity. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have stopped by here a few times on weekend mornings and they make one of the best flat whites that I have ever had. They also have a bowl of water outside for dogs and a few carabiners to tie leashes to.

Great coffe! i got an iced coffee and tasted great, it was very smooth and not bitter at all. Everything was great but they do lose a star for uncomfortable seats and complete lack of a couch or love seat type thing.

Very nice place for decor, mellow and good for working. Coffee is ok. I believe if you go for fancy roast etc. then you need to pay attention to detail like temperature. The cappuccino was lukewarm! Disgusting!

Of all the coffee shops in Echo Park, which there are many, Woodcat is my favorite. I usually get an iced latte. Strong and flavorful. The pastries are tasty, but on the expensive side IMO.

Nice large table in the back to work from. Hip music and staff were friendly when I came. Some art in the back too. Had the Americano and it was pretty good. $3

I like sitting in here to grab a coffee and do some work. The coffee is delicious and so are the cookies, but the cookies are very pricey.
