Cofax Coffee

Tucked into the heart of Fairfax Village sits Cofax Coffee, a compact coffee shop that punches well above its weight. Since opening in 2014, this unassuming spot has become a neighborhood institution—not primarily for its excellent coffee, but for what many consider one of the finest breakfast burritos in all of Los Angeles.

The star of the show is undoubtedly the chorizo burrito, a masterfully constructed morning meal that hits all the right notes. What sets it apart from the competition are the crispy, slow-cooked potatoes sourced from the legendary Bludso’s BBQ just down the street. Combined with fluffy scrambled eggs and smoky, spicy chorizo, it creates a balance that’s both satisfying and surprisingly light. You won’t need to cancel your afternoon plans after polishing one off.

Cofax has quietly expanded its offerings over the years to include vegetarian, bacon, pastrami, and hot link versions, but the original chorizo remains the one to beat. The atmosphere is no-frills and the space is tiny, which means weekend mornings often bring a line out the door. But the wait is part of the ritual for devoted regulars who know exactly what they’re there for.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night at the Kibitz Room across the street or simply craving one of LA’s benchmark breakfast burritos, Cofax delivers without pretense. It’s affordable, consistently delicious, and proof that sometimes the best things come in the smallest packages.
