I45 Coffee

I really appreciate the fact that the $$$ goes straight to the church & the baristas are volunteers. I think it’s great that the church can use the money to support their programs & such. I was chatting it up with the barista & she explained to me that the profit goes back to Victory Outreach – which I would support 100% & I’m not even religious.
I45 was easy to locate in Uptown Whittier & the inside is quaint & cozy. They have a small menu that offer coffee, lattes, teas, pastries & more. I ordered the Spanish latte with soy milk (they didn’t have almond) & to my surprise it was a good tasting latte. It was slightly on the sweeter side but overall it was good. My boyfriend ordered an iced dirty chai latte & I was disappointed when I tried it. It honestly just tasted ‘dirty’.
For the hot drinks, they offer 2 sizes but it was both very small nonetheless. Even though my latte was good, the price that you pay for what you get isn’t worth it. The cup sizes were rather a huge disappointment to me than the dirty chai. For 2 drinks, I paid around $ 10 & I finished my drink after a few sips. :(

My husband and I had the large Spanish Lattes but it cost $ 10. The large cup looked like a small. It was good and it felt good to give back to God’s Kingdom. The barista was really nice.

I get coffee once a day in Uptown so naturally I had to check this place out. I am all about supporting local groups, but their volunteers definitely need more training. They always seem unsure of the process and my lattes are never made correctly. It’s Still a cute place with friendly service; it’s just not the right stop if you really need your coffee.

Good business for the church to sell coffee.
Unfortunately it was a one time try for me
I was not impressed by anything amazing .
The volunteer barista from the church was a sweetheart but just not what I expected
to get for the price & size .
Overall it was just a donation to the church.

I’m writing this review with the hope that this store will continue to get better as they get more experience. I have a cup of Americano and the coffee was really good, dark coffee. The kid that was the barista used his finger to even out the coffee before using a tool to do it. He mis-​heard the order and charged me for 2 coffees which he figured out and corrected when I started counting the change. They don’t have decaf coffee as yet and I had originally ordered 2 coffees-​1 decaf. Baked goods look pretty marginal. With a little more training this could be a solid coffee shop.

The coffee is amazing!!! However, the cups are super small, no lids to go, no sleaves; my coffee spilled all over my car. They only have whole milk and soy, I was hoping to get 2% milk :(, I really hope this place gets bigger cups and a variety of milk, I plan to go back in a couple months and hopefully they get their stuff together.

i45 is a new Café in the heart of Uptown Whittier. As a coffee lover I was intrigued by their single source coffee that offered a rich and smooth taste that by far exceeded my expectations. The baristas are well-​versed and friendly which made my first time experience all the more pleasant. I may just have found my new coffee shop fixation.

Best coffee shop I’ve been to! Great coffee, awesome atmosphere. I’ll definitely be going to I45 often!

The Best Coffee in Whittier Hands Down and the Staff were all super polite and welcoming Love the atmosphere and love the fact that it’s right on Greenleaf with Outside Seating!!! It really was an amazing new Coffee Spot! Glad I went! Definitely going to be a Loyal Customer

Amazing Coffee! Great Environment! Really loved the Latte, ordered mine with almond milk. The Spanish latte is very good also came with 2 shots of expresso!

I love this place! Had to check it out for myself. Was in Uptown waiting for the movie theater across the street. Great Coffee, free wifi, trendy, and excellent service. Pavel was very polite and made sure my I45 experience was not a one time deal. Keep up the good work guys…
