Amazing coffee and service especially if you're in the SC area or want something before mass

Such good brownies. Best I've ever had that I can remember. Sooooo rich. Also all the cookies were great. The espresso was top notch and the staff was really laid back despite the huge line both times I went while attending an event at Shriner.

Today, I met a friend at this hot spot. I didn't know it was here but needed an easy breakfast spot to find for a quick meeting. The Ministry of Coffee was perfect. The decor is appropriate in a college setting. Nyla took very good care of us and my meeting went extremely well.

I can't believe it took me til my fifth semester at USC to try Ministry of Coffee, but I think this is my go-to spot for coffee now near campus. The espresso is not bitter and very smooth, and they also serve a wide variety of food, although I wish the food wasn't as expensive. They use Straus Milk (if you've had it before, you KNOW)! You can order at the counter or on a kiosk (through Toast, so you could order on your phone, too). If you sign up for their loyalty program and put in your birthday, you get a $5 reward for that month! They're not the fastest at getting your order out, but I am usually willing to wait. There's plenty of indoor seating but the music can get a bit loud. I think there is WiFi but most people just stay on USC Secure/Guest Wireless or eduroam. There's also lots of outdoor seating, some of which has umbrellas, perfect for sunny LA days. They can be a little hidden your first time going, but just walk around the Catholic church in a circle and surely you will find one of the entrances.

Great and cozy coffee shop near USC Campus away from hustle and bustle of USC Village. Had a salmon bagel that actually looked like the photo. . Service was friendly and fast.

If your ever near USC Park across at underground parking below target (2 hours free) Use the kiosk, its digital , has the menu, you can order and pay , works seamless and you can take a lot longer to customize your drink Chill outside, plenty of ppl/ students working and networking , you can be inspired by the work ethic. Didn't talk to anyone so can't say how customer service was , but it drink was solid

Quaint cafe nestled within the serene ambiance of a church adds to its charm. From their website, "Founded in 2014 in Sydney Australia and Istanbul in Turkey, MINISTRY OF COFFEE is a boutique café experience." A hidden gem worth discovering for coffee enthusiasts. Nice selection of books to peruse while enjoying your coffee indoors or in their outdoor courtyard. The cafe is conveniently located near USC + Hebrew Union College.
