Curator’s note
Tyler King left commercial real estate to open the first Coffee Commissary in 2009, when there was still very little going on in LA coffee, and the company made its early name on hand-brewed pour-overs, latte art and a high-energy bar. Burbank came in 2013 as the third shop, pouring Victrola, Coava, Sightglass and Temple from the years before the company roasted its own.
The Coffee
The house Commissary Blend is combined 50/50 as green coffee before it is roasted. The bar runs espresso straight, as a Gibraltar, an Americano, a latte or a cappuccino, with golden milk, chai, matcha and tea beside the coffee.

The Vibe
The owners drew the bar themselves (retro modern, a bold color palette set against a lot of stainless steel) in a room that stays airy despite all that metal. It is the only Commissary with a full breakfast and lunch kitchen, so it runs busier at midday than a pure coffee bar.
