Dalian's café is one of my favorite coffee shops in Downtown. The selection coffee is similar to other coffee shops, but there is something that their coffee do taste like coming from baristas that really care how they pour their lattes. Also, the bean quality is at point. The service is great, they're never in a rush to get your order and would explain you anything if you have questions about the coffee. The ambiance is so cute, it reminds me to coffee shops in Spain and London with their tables outside in the e middle of huge buildings. I swear every time I go to the office I make sure to stop by to this cafe cus I love it. read more

Great coffee! Great location! Great vibe! I really enjoyed myself at Dalian's Cafe. Nestled between the Biltmore and the Water Grill with sidewalk seating reminiscent of a European cafe, Dalian's provides the perfect venue where the busy city slows a bit to let you put down your phone and enjoy the old fashioned sport of people watching. With a carefully curated music playlist that enhances the atmosphere without drowning out the conversation, you'll quickly understand why it was hard to leave once my cup was empty. My only wish for Dalian's to really give it that vacation vibe... ceramic cups...Dare to dream! Thanks to all of this plus super friendly service, I'll be back for another (paper) cup. read more

The service here is really good and the pasties look very fresh. I didn't try one though. The matcha is okay, they don't whisk it individually and pour it from a premade batch, so I didn't like it. Wouldn't get it again but would try the coffee or pastries. read more

Small little coffee place with a nice selection of pastries to choose from. I ordered the mushroom feta pastry and a cup of coffee from the nice gentleman at the register. I was able grab a seat at one of the 2 tables they have inside and they have a lot more seating in the front of the shop. It didn't take long for my food to warm up and it was warmed perfectly. The pastry tasted delicious. A bit savory and not sweet but paired well with my coffee. I would like to try some of the other stuffed croissants they had because they all looked delicious. I will just have to come back so I can try them all. read more

I stopped by looking for a coffee but I know I'll be back for the pastries at Dalian's. I had a lavender latte and it was splendid, no complaints at all. I also had a toasted ham and cheese croissant which was great. They have a beautiful apple pastry (I thinkkkk it's a danish) that caught my eye but I'm not always a big fan of apple - would love to come back to try it though! Special notes for to the collection of orchids (my favorite) at the window and the black and white design - making the space modern and welcoming at the same time. The owner (i think) was very friendly and polite, making the ordering process easy. Happy to find great coffee in this quaint place tucked on a busy street. read more

If you're looking for a real cafe this is it. You can just tell off the ambiance and quality this is the real deal. Many coffee shops in Los Angeles unfortunately target aesthetics, are watered down, mostly sweet, not so great quality. This shop is truly inspired by European coffee which you can taste. I've been here several times and pass by almost everyday. I see the same people coming and enjoying coffee in the mornings with their pups or working on their laptops. It gives a very family and home feel. Before learning more about this shop, I figured they were inspired by European coffee based on the layout and how strong my coffee was. The owner is also here everyday which makes it even more special. I've gotten iced mochas and vanilla lattes. Service is always friendly, quantity is not tiny, and it's not overly sweet. I love tasting espresso in my drinks so this was very important to me. The vanilla or mocha was never overpowering. I would definitely come here again and recommend to anyone coming around DTLA.

Tried out this cute small cafe in DTLA and loved it!! I got the iced matcha latte (unsweetened) with coconut milk. They use ceremonial grade matcha, which you could definitely tell because the matcha flavor was super strong, just how I like it. I also shared the kouign-amann pastry with a friend and it was amazing. It was crunchy on the outside but soft and flakey in the middle. It had caramelized sugar on the outside which gave it the perfect sweetness. They said that they get their pastries delivered fresh every morning. So if you go, definitely try one out! read more

A short walk from the Gas Tower Building, this small coffee shop has a New York-style vibe. It's tucked into a little corner with limited indoor seating and a few outdoor tables. Service was quick. For a fast bite, they offer ready-made sandwiches in the fridge and can warm them up in the oven if needed. The dirty chai latte was a bit overpowering for my taste, but I later learned it's customizable. Milk options are available, and most of their coffees are unsweetened, so be sure to share your preference when ordering. read more

Espresso may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot. So let's begin this pulchritudinous review. :D lol. Dalian's Café is a cute tiny cafe located on a busy street S Grand Ave., Downtown. Los Angeles, CA. They serve exquisite organic coffee, teas, pastries and specialty drinks. Cafe's indoor black and white color scheme emits a classy french look. Its indoor and outdoor seats provide a relaxing atmosphere. I came here early Friday morning to grab a drink; it's one of my spontaneous LA adventure moment. I was greeted by a tall long with curly hair male staff. Server inquired if I was British? I politely said YEASSSS (I reckon what gave me away?) Lol. After perusing their menu, I decided to grab a hot Lavender Latte x plain Croissant. Both items were bloody fantastic. Coffee was jolting and smooth while the Croissant was fresh, flaky and soft. Prices were priced according to their standard market value. Service was spot on like white on rice. Seats were limited. Finding a street parking spot was quite challenging. (I parked 1 3/4 block) Overall, I had a nice experience and truly enjoyed my latte/croissant. I recommend you visit if you're in the area. So until then my loyal fans! :D lol. read more

A hidden Gem in Downtown LA! Attached to the historic Los Angeles Biltmore, Dalian has a charming European café vibe and everything you could want: delicious pastries, soothing coffee drinks, and even matcha! This spot was a delightful discovery during my stay in Los Angeles. I had been going to Starbucks every morning, but once I found Dalian, that completely changed. The owner, Dalian, is calm, courteous, and genuinely cares about crafting exactly what you're looking for. He takes his time and makes sure every drink is just right. Skip the Starbucks, on both corners, and treat yourself to something better, give Dalian's a try. You won't regret it! read more

Very friendly service and I loved that when I ordered a flavored iced latte, it wasn't too sweet. He had me taste it first and said he could sweeten it further if it wasn't enough - but it was perfect. I got the lavender and it wasn't overpowering. My partner ordered a hot latte (plain) and said it was good. Not the best in the city but if he was in the area he would know he could rely on this latte. He also got a ham and Swiss sandwich. The barista informed us that they get fresh sandwiches in daily from their baker. My partner loved it and felt like the $15 price tag was justified! I'd definitely go back but I wouldn't seek it out if it was out of my way. read more

Amazing spot for coffee. I've come here two days in a row and plan on coming back the remainder of the time I'm in town! I order a hot latte and it's consistently really good, with a strong taste of coffee vs milky. I wanted to get a kouign aman but there were barely any pastries left at 8:15am on the first day. The second day there was a full case (7:30am) and had a hard time choosing. I tried the turkey and cheese croissant. The croissant itself was really good and flakey but the meats itself didn't have any flavor. The ricotta & cranberries danish was nice and flakey and pretty good. I'm going to be sad when I can't come here for a latte every day. Lol The cafe is very convenient to a bunch of hotels! The staff here are super friendly and there are 2 tables inside and a few outside. read more

Cute, tiny little coffee shop in DTLA just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Central Library. Quick, friendly service with a small menu, and prices are slightly cheaper than I've seen at other coffee shops. More seating outside than inside, but it's nice when it's in the shade. I got an iced mocha and it was tasty, a good balance of chocolate and coffee without being ridiculously sweet. I would definitely come back for a coffee fix before/after visiting LA's Central Library! Skip the Starbucks just down the street and go to Dalian's instead! read more

Amazing all around. We stayed at the Hilton across the street and noticed a steady stream of customers in and out of this little coffee shop. We looked at Yelp and decided to give it a try. Everything we had was delicious. The pastries were each warmed up. I also had oatmeal (not pictured) with hot milk that they provided. The coffee (not pictured) was a favorite and didn't make it back to the hotel room. My husband is incredibly picky with coffee so I was surprised when he said it was delicious after he took his first sip. My matcha was perfect. I asked for half the amount of matcha and to be sweetened with vanilla. We ended up going back a few hours later to get another coffee for the road. Overall, I would highly recommend coming here for your coffee and pastry needs. We would even stop by if we're ever visiting the area again. PS: if you're the guy who helped us, the ham & cheese was better. read more

When I went to pick it up, I grabbed a saucer to avoid spilling on my way back to my seat. Before I could even walk away, one of the baristas snatched it from my hand and said, "You're not allowed to use that. The saucers go with the latte mugs!" I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit!

I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves! There is truly nothing like a great business ran by a great person and you can tell there's so much intention put into this concept. Highly, highly recommend and I could not sing praises more!

The texture was incredibly smooth, the temperature was perfect, and the notes came through clearly without being overly bright. What stood out most was how well the drink held together. The crema stayed intact from the first sip to the last and never broke apart. The body remained consistent throughout, and even a few minutes after finishing it, I could still taste the coffee on my palate, which is always a sign of a special cup. Thank you too Jesse, who made the drink. She was super friendly and genuinely happy to talk coffee. The lady at the register which I didn't get her name was also very welcoming and helpful. One thing I always pay attention to is whether the staff are engaged and enjoy talking about coffee, and both of them were. That's usually a great sign that a shop takes pride in what they're serving. Between the quality of the coffee, the execution, and the people behind the bar, this was easily one of the best cortados I've had in Los Angeles. I would definitely be returning with friends.

RNY is my go-to coffee shop. I visit several times a week to say hi to my favorite baristas (Hi…read moreMichael, Wonki, and team!) and order a potent pick me up. The baristas are passionate about their craft and so knowledgeable about coffee beans and are expert latte artists. I love that their cold brew is made using the cool science-y looking contraption. My little one gets the strawberry or chocolate milk; they use real strawberries puree and none of that powder crap. I love their iced vanilla bean latte, cold brew, strawberry matcha, iced matcha latte, iced americano. Everything is so balanced, delicious, and perfect! I've had their pour overs with single origin beans. Yummy! Whether you need a quick pick me up, study or work space, or social coffee time with friends, I 100% recommend stopping by RNY!

Food: The Wagyu Sliders were good, but nothing out of this world. The salsa and sauce they gave paired well, but everything here I could make at home. Parking: If you map to Archives of Us, there will be signs where the store is locating you to the retail parking lot. You would need to go to the elevator inside sharing the leasing office to get to the second floor where the shop is.

Archives of Us reminds me of some of the restaurants and cafes you find inside the city areas of…read moreTokyo. Integrated within the city itself, but designed and curated to still be apart from it, Archives of Us feels like a space perfect for studying, working, and just vibing if you have the time and you're a local while as a tourist or passerby it's a neat stop by as you continue on your itinerary. Design - Private but Open Located just on the boundary of Chinatown and inside the new shopping plaza under new apartments, Archives of Us has its own separate entrance utilizing an elevator to get you to the second floor. This simple detachment allows Archives of Us to have a private space in such a public location. The interior has exposed concrete, ventilation ducts, and wiring to give the industrial design that's currently popular whilst integrating soft tones of wood, stones, and simple plants in the same space. It makes the interior feel less brutalist by incorporating nature where it can. In juxtaposition, the exterior is a large balcony space with planters of leafy plants on the perimeter to provide semi-private screening as you look out into the city. Though you're close enough to people's apartments where you can snoop on what they have on their balconies it provides enough privacy where they can't look at the TikTok's you're watching. Drinks - Matcha & Espresso Archives of Us has a reputation for its matcha. Like so many places these days they proudly utilize ceremonial matcha for their drinks (although ceremonial grade doesn't mean it's good for lattes but that's a whole different story for a different time). They also do Einspänners, cream lattes, and more traditional drinks like flat whites. All these come in one size, ensuring a consistent taste for each drink. Although I did enjoy the banana tiramisu cream latte I had I don't know if paying an average of $7.50-$9.00 is worth the price. The quality of the ingredients can be tasted so it's up to you to decide if that price is worth paying. Food - High Quality for Simple Design Following the same rhetoric as the drinks, the food they serve here aren't complicated but they do have a high standard to their ingredients. The Wagyu Egg Sliders is executed well with toasted Hawaiian rolls, perfectly cooked Wagyu beef patties, and a hand chopped egg salad between them all. The egg salad part especially feels like the same type of flavor you would get if you got an egg sando in Japan. The ingredients taste great and as a simple recipe it is executed well. However, for the price of $17 you might be looking for more than "simple done perfectly". If you're looking for a kick or accent to their food you'll have to look for outside sources. I recommend asking them for condiments like their salsa they use for their breakfast burritos. Their breakfast burrito also falls under the same umbrella of well executed with simple ingredients. I especially loved how fluffy the eggs were and the ratio of potato to all the ingredients was fantastic. Final Thought Archives of Us can be seen as a hip location you have to try because of all the buzz and hype you've heard of or it can be seen as a place to make your own if you're a local of the area. It can be considered both overly hyped and a well loved secret. Whatever perspective you see it as what is unarguable is Archives of Us is quintessentially LA and you can love it or hate it for it. Try it for yourself to see where you stand.
