Sipping in the shadow of the US Bank building.

Marc D.

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.

Mushroom feta pastry with a cup of regular drip coffee

Corina A.

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.

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.

Had coffee and pastries here a few times ( stayed across at Hilton) . Friendly staff , fresh pastries and good drinks .

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.

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. Cheers

Really convenient location right next to hotel, was originally headed to my tried and true Starbies but saw this place and went inside. Got the hazelnut coconut iced latte, a little sweet but very good. A shot of espresso in the tiniest Togo espresso cup I've seen lol, I love it! A matcha latte, very good, and a Nutella chocolate bun. 5/5 for everything!

Ambiance: it's a small coffee store located in DTLA, near the public library, with very limited seats inside and outside, good for takeout orders Service: very friendly and patient with specific requests, and the barista is very talented making latte Food & Drink: simple menu items Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry - **** crispy and savory taste, recommend Matcha Latte - **** refreshing matcha taste, recommend Price: decent quality and reasonable prices, expect $15+ for a quick bite and drink

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.

The people working here are great very sweet and attentive!! Also coffee and pastries are amazing. Location is great small and cute.

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.

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!

Kay Y.

Owner Dali is super friendly and welcoming. Anyone who needs a good matcha def stop by here instead of Starbucks (which I haven't had in years) I'm pretty picky with matcha it was pretty strong and was got the banana flavor which was different but delightful! Def support this local business if you are nearby, I will def be back due to the welcoming vibes.

Coffee was great but when I simply asked if they had vanilla syrup, a barista decided it was his opportunity to be a condescending douche and tell me "well yeah just about every coffee shop is gonna have that" and proceed to list all the syrups they had in a monotonous tone ending with something along the lines of: if you think of a syrup we probably have it. They didn't have vanilla written on the menu so I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask just in case. It was my first time going here and this guy decided to be the typical coffee redditor snob trying to make me seem stupid. The rest of the staff was nice especially the cashier, but if that dude hates his job so much then he should probably find a new line of work. Coffee: 4/5 Overall guest experience: 0/5 read more

We saw this cute little cafe as we were walking back to our hotel and decided to stop in. The workers were so nice and explained all the different pastries to use and recommend drinks that we might like. My favorite pastry I tried was the monkey bread is was sweet and buttery with out being overwhelmingly so. The iced chai was also very good, nicely spiced and just sweet enough. Everything else was delicious and I'll definitely stop in if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Went there this morning (happy they're open on Sundays) and writing this before I forget. Good oat milk cappuccino and vegan muffin. Always appreciate a vegan option for baked goods. Really nice people working there and great service. Lots of nice little touches, like clear mugs to see the layers of the coffee and foam, chocolate-covered almond on my drink's saucer, and fresh orchids on the tables. Popular even on a Sunday morning, but plenty of space and a short wait. Highly recommended. read more

This European inspired cafe is in the heart of DTLA. The views of the city are great and it goes perfect their elegant decor. I sat outside to enjoy my matcha and really enjoyed my visit. I had their matcha latte and loved it. It was served on a beautiful mug and dish which added to the experience. I felt so fancy sipping on my matcha people watching outside on their pretty patio. I loved the heart design and the size of the matcha latte was also good. The owner was there and you can tell how much he cares and wants to make sure visitors have a good experience.

I recently popped into Dalian's Café in downtown LA with a friend, and it was fantastic. We shared the monkey bread and blueberry loaf--both were amazingly delicious. The macadamia milk hot chocolate was a perfect complement to the pastries (so creamy and frothy). The café has a charming European vibe, making it a cozy spot to relax. Every table had a beautiful orchid! Plus, the owner, Dali, was incredibly friendly and professional, which added to the great experience. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by! *we had our pastries in paperbacks to-go because we were heading off soon but they are usually served on cute white plates. read more

I came by today with a friend since we were in the area and decided to give it a try. We sat outside while we enjoyed our order and while everything food and wise was fine, there was a very public altercation with the staff. I don't know if it was a supervisor or an owner or whatever, but he started arguing with one of the baristas about some sort of recent incident. He began yelling at her and accused her of being a liar and hiding stuff and was placing blame on her. The barista kept trying to defend herself and try to explain her side, but he kept cutting her off and yelling, making her yell back. They ended up continuing to yell at each other and he continued to not really listen to what she was saying. The conversation ended up stopping abruptly and they both went back inside. The man's attitude and hostility was honestly, shocking to say the least. My friend and I ended up feeling bad for the barista and just appalled with the man's behavior. This conversation should have not happened out in public with a bunch of customers present and being able to clearly hear them. Regardless of whether or not the barista is at fault or not, that is not a way a person in charge should act with their staff, especially in public. He escalated their conversation rather than try and diffuse the situation like a good manager or owner or whatever should and made it a hostile environment. Any good experience was honestly shattered after that and made me want to actually sit and write this review. Whoever that man was, he should definitely think twice about how he treats his staff and should honestly, probably not even be in that position. read more

What really sets Tilt apart, though, is the staff. They go above and beyond for every customer, and you can genuinely feel the care they pour into their craft and their service.

This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!

The matcha latte is alright. For the price, I think I'd gravitate toward another café. It was $19…read morefor two matchas...that I didn't think tasted worth the price. Service was standard.

The matcha latte is a must. Their breakfast sliders are incredibly fluffy, fresh, and light--I always add both avocado and bacon, and it's the perfect combo. But the real star for me? The pistachio spread toast. It might honestly be my favorite thing on the menu, even more than the sliders or the matcha. Now for the reality check: be prepared to wait. Anywhere from 30-50 minutes is pretty normal, and if you show up later in the day, there's a good chance they'll already be sold out some of the items. I got there before they opened at 8 a.m., and the line was already around the corner. LA people are professional line waiters lol. The one upside is that it's far enough east that you don't get the full 405 west crowd bcz its "too east 405" to show up... so there's that. ;))) A couple of downsides: there's no indoor seating, and the inside has a pretty strong greasy kitchen smell. Don't be surprised if your clothes smell like the restaurant after you leave. Even with all that, this is still an easy 5-star spot for me. Great food, excellent matcha, and a pistachio toast I'll happily wait in line again with the LA unemployed crowd that stresses out that they can't make it to their pilates class bcz of the long line... :))

Go on a weekday so the wait is a bit more bearable (I waited about 30-40 minutes on a weekday midday).

More of a sweet treat drink than a sophisticated matcha, but I'm not complaining. Inside there isn't any seating, and the line does wrap around one time indoors. They're quite busy but do get the drinks out pretty quick! Food options were sold out by the time I got there around noon. Community goods is an LA essential for a reason, it was fun to visit and if I'm around it I'd stop by again!

Dalian's Café - Our Beloved DTLA Retreat! Dalian's Café is hands down our favorite coffee spot in Downtown LA! Every other Saturday morning, after our refreshing walk, we make our way to this charming little gem that feels like a slice of Paris right in the heart of the city... in our very own neighborhood! The atmosphere is simply enchanting. It's cozy and inviting, with a touch of casual luxury that makes every visit feel special. The moment we step inside, we're greeted by the warm ambiance that's perfect for enjoying a leisurely breakfast. Dalian, the owner and our favorite barista, adds to the experience with his friendly service. He makes us feel right at home, as if we're catching up with an old friend. His commitment to creating a welcoming environment is truly commendable. Now, let's dive into the drinks! My matcha is always made to perfection--creamy and flavorful, it's the ideal pick-me-up. My husband can't stop raving about his flat white, describing it as unlike any other he's had. It's rich and velvety, making every sip an indulgence. And we can't forget about the pastries! Our go-to choices are the ham & cheese and spinach croissants. Both are absolute taste pleasers, flaky and filled with deliciousness that perfectly complements our drinks. Dalian's Café has truly become a cherished part of our routine. If you're in DTLA and looking for a coffee shop that offers an inviting atmosphere, delightful drinks, and scrumptious pastries, this is the place to be! read more

What a fantastic find in downtown LA! We were so excited to discover this coffee shop literally right across the street from our hotel, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The coffee was absolutely amazing -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly made. They also had an incredible selection of fresh snacks and breakfast items, from parfaits and fresh fruit cups to pastries that were honestly hard to resist. Everything looked fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Beyond the food and coffee, the customer service truly stood out. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It's not always easy to find a spot that combines convenience, quality, and great people, but this place absolutely delivered on all three. Highly recommend if you're staying or visiting downtown LA! read more
