Blackwood Coffee bar

Blackwood Coffee Bar sits at the base of Runyon Canyon, a chic yet comfortable space offering caffeine hits to both hikers and sedentary folks. Inside, plush benches and chairs make it easy to settle in for hours (there's free WiFi, plus a magazine rack with plenty of reading material), while the outdoor patio provides a little more sunshine and some prime people watching. On the menu, customers will find your standard cups of joe, but you'd be missing out if you didn't take a chance on some of the more out-there items: a horchata cold brew, for example, or Blackwood's namesake drink served in a martini glass. One of our personal favorites is the sparkling espresso, comprised of house-made espresso shrub, sparkling water and lemon zest.
