Loop Espresso Club is a brand new Japanese-style coffee shop that opened up in the former Cafe Beaujolais space in August 2025 (originally opened in a different space in March 2024). This comfy space with exceptional coffee, delicious pastries, and a vinyl record soundtrack is the concept of Dominic Abat.
We spoke with Dominic about how he came to the concept for Loop:
What is the story behind Loop? What made you want to open a coffee shop in Eagle Rock?
I’ve worked in the Los Angeles food industry, specifically restaurants, for over 8 years. I worked for Suzanne Goin and the A.O.C. food group and I worked at Bavel and. Bestia in downtown LA, as well as Pizzeria Sei. I always envisioned myself opening a pizzeria somewhere in LA. In November of 2023, I traveled to Tokyo, Japan and ate at multiple pizzerias, but was also able to visit and enjoy many exquisite coffee shops. I am still determined to open a pizzeria, but I came across an exciting location in Eagle Rock and immediately knew my Tokyo-inspired coffee shop concept would fit well there.
What is the vibe of the space?
The vibe is chill and mellow during the weekdays and electric and fast paced during the weekends.
What would you recommend to someone who has never visited a Japanese-style coffee house?
The most popular items have been the espresso black sesame, espresso trung, and matcha coconut refresher for non-coffee drinkers.
