Cafe Dolcini - a meal in a styrofoam container - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ok, I walk past this café every single morning when I take my dog out. I knew it was a small place (mom & pop shops are the best!) but I didn't know it was family owned! Score! I was particularly hangry today and too impatient to order something delivery, so I took my dog downstairs for a quick walk and popped in next door. Honestly--the bulgogi plate is f'n delicious here!! You can tell this is a Korean-family owned cafe--they really put love into their food and presentation. I ate all the rice, daikon (daikon is my favorite.. raaaadish!) and salad first--I'm stuffed!! I also ordered spam musubi as a comfort food for me, and I am too full to eat it! Late night snack, it is! They also make boba tea, which I haven't had a chance to try yet (and which I'm glad for, since the institution of 85 Degrees across the way is closed, perhaps for good ). Finally, they have a slew of American menu items and pastries for the grab and go consumer (brekkie burritos, etc). So happy I finally tried this place, can't wait to try the spicy pork next! read more

Cafe Dolcini - Bulgogi plate, sans salad, rice & daikon radish (I inhaled it). - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Since I'm working from home during quarantine time and living in DTLA, I've been trying the places that open only during weekdays that I could never try before. This place is one of them. I always wanted to try but they're closed during weekends. Got a croissant sandwich with egg, bacon and cheese. Also ordered white chocolate latte. They're big, filling, and delicious :) The staff was very friendly too. It's perfect for breakfast or lunch. I'd recommend both of what I had. It's a very tiny place with decent yummy food. And I'd like to support them especially during this time. read more

Cafe Dolcini - Outside view - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cafe Dolcini is a small breakfast and lunch spot located in the heart of DTLA. The store is run by a really sweet Korean lady and frequented by many people that work in the nearby offices. The store itself is really small and only have 2 small tables on Grand Avenue to sit. I would say this is more of a grab and go place instead of dine-in sandwich store. The store itself is sandwiched between a printing store (at the corner of Grand x Wilshire) and Shoe Wiz/ Casey's. Great spot if you want to grab a bagel, sandwich, or a ricebox during lunchtime. One of my favorite items to order from Cafe Dolcini is their Curry Rice. Food is comforting and she usually give generous portions. I can easily split my order into two meals. Suggest bringing cash if you want to buy food here because she will charge you a service fee for using credit card. Try coming a few minutes before the peak lunch hours to beat the crowd. read more

Cafe Dolcini - Turkey sandwich on white - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I find this cafe to be outstanding, with quality service everyday. I've been coming here every morning since working DTLA and I can say Chris is very professional and hard working each and every day. By the way there are two Starbucks locations within one mile from this cafe and I still prefer to come here than go to them. Like I mentioned the quality of food and coffee and specially the orange juice is better than it's competitors. Star read more

Cafe Dolcini - Everything bagel with turkey, lettuce,avocado & cucumber breakfast sandwich. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cafe Dolcini is a super small shop on Grand Ave that you've probably passed a quarter million times to get to the better-known lunch spots in the area, but let me tell you, it is SO worth a visit. I've passed this place all the time walking from the US Bank tower to chipotle and have always just eyed the photos of Korean food they have posted on the windows. But today as I was walking to Chipotle, I stopped and figured why not and.. Why didn't I come visit earlier?!? A sandwich place at half the price of Mendocino Farms and Specialitys?! Delicious Korean food so close to work?! Although they are better known for their sandwiches and croissants, Cafe Dolcini also serves Spicy Pork, Beef Bulgogi, and Jap Chae with a side of rice and its SO worth it. I got the Spicy Pork with rice, allowed her to put some veggies and sriracha on it and then bam, one of the best lunches I've had in a while. A suitable portion size and just the right amount of spice. 10/10 would come back. read more

Cafe Dolcini - Spicy pork and rice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Quick delicious freshnessness. I over ordered and ate it all! Tuna sandwich on a crossaint and bagel was th cream cheese! Hit the spot!

Okay, this place is legit. I read a few reviews, and thought I would try it since it was a couple blocks from my hotel. I tried a tuna salad sandwich, and it literally was as good as I've ever had. Glad I stopped by. (I ate my sandwich too fast to photograph it...) read more

I came here for the poke stops :) Spicy pork with rice ($6.75): it was not good at all. The pork wasn't chewy and not tasty. Watermelon juice ($4.00): I was disappointed with this watermelon juice. Not good :( QUICK TIP: YOU CAN SIT HERE AND CLICK ON THE POKE STOPS!! 2 stars!! I really wanted to love this place :( Cafe Dolcini is not yummylicious!! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place, and can't believe it took me so long to come across it while living in downtown LA (well, actually I can believe it since it's a cute little space wedged between much larger buildings). Most likely the cheapest place you'll find breakfast in DTLA, and it was great to learn the same family has been running Cafe Dolcini for decades. Very friendly service and the breakfast sandwich on a croissant is exactly what you want it to be. I definitely plan on becoming a regular here. :-) read more

I go here a few times a week for breakfast or lunch. Love their service and the food is great. Breakfast croissant with ham egg cheese and jalapeños. And for lunch you gotta try the bulgogi! read more

Ice mocha is not made with real coffee but mocha powder instead............I mean seriously?

Found this place by accident, I was driving around looking for a cafe to grab coffee and a bagel. When I parked to yelp something nearby I looked to my right and saw this place. Small and convenient! I was greeted with a friendly smile and "good morning," already off to a good start :) When I saw their menu, everything was inexpensive, nothing fancy. All their stuff is from Costco (croissants, bagels, muffins, snacks, mocha mix), which I don't mind at all, I love all things Costco! Anyway, simple food, you know what you're getting when you order, and they prepare it right in front of you. Also, I have to add, although I don't mind, when I ordered a mocha, I saw they used the costco mix. I personally love it, however, if you're a coffee snob, you've been warned. Overall, great experience & I highly recommend you try this place!! read more

Cafe Dolcini - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was walking around during lunch break and wanted to find somewhere to eat that I have not tried. I walked in and it is alittle hole in the wall place. There is one lady that works there (Korean lady). Spoke ok English. I asked for the bacon sandwich since it came with a combo. I got back to the office and she gave me the ham sandwich. I also ordered the taro boba drink. Was alittle upset that I have to eat the ham and egg sandwich as I hate ham but not gonna go walk back there. The boba was alright. The combo comes with coffee or oj. I gave her 2 stars since see let me sub the boba for the drink. Not gonna go back anytime soon. Kinda a fail. But gotta try to know if I like it or not. Right? ;) read more

I'm not really sure how I feel about this but i just found out upon checking the receipt as I left the store that they charge $1 for tax? I know technically that is not a lot of money but for food that is worth $6 then $1 for tax, then that means their tax rate is 17%?? read more

I stumbled across this place on my walk to work, and I'm so glad I did! It's a small local shop with with a super nice (and fast!) lady working it. Only giving 4 stars since I've only tried the breakfast turkey/egg/cheese croissant sandwich, which was on point, but not the best I've ever had. Prices are good too! Will come back again for their croissant sandwiches, and to try their lunch as well! read more

This is The Only Place in All of Los Angeles where you can get Golden Curry with chicken, on tap! Meaning, it's made everyday, it's ready & waiting when you walk in & the lady here makes it best! Who the hell has golden curry these days? It's always Thai or Indian as the only options; well no longer I say! Go! Get it! It's delicious! read more

Cafe Dolcini is a place to get your quick korean food fix in dtla.

Quick, easy and reasonably priced. Convenient stores are becoming scarce in the Financial District. With the closing of Famima, I was hoping to find a new place to get my morning coffee, bottled water and snacks (mostly toast with peanut butter or a couple hard boiled eggs). I can get all of this for under $5 and the owner is a very sweet lady. Decent coffee! read more

This is a great spot for breakfast sandwiches - quick and delicious. Good coffee too! I am in LA twice a month for work at the One Wilshire building right across the street - this is my go-to every morning for an egg, ham and cheese croissant. Its good! read more

FAST, inexpensive and simply flavorful food. Nothing fancy about this little hole in the wall spot, just great service and good food. Had the ham, egg and cheese croissant and everything was perfect about it. read more

Tiny, hole in the wall place managed by a sweet Korean lady. She serves a variety of things at such a low price: breakfast, lunch, snacks. Quality is good but the lunch left me a bit cotton mouthed, which may be caused by MSG? Anyway, you can beat this place in terms of price for lunch or breakfast, especially if you work near by. read more

The best japchae combined with the most adorable owner makes this place such a gem. Curry's great as well and a good place to stop by if you need a pick me up! read more

The lady is very very nice. The food comes out accurately if you enunciate enough and there's always a lot of it.
