3 shaken espressos
Elsa L.

This coffee shop I found she's in social media TikTok and her vibes online I like her personality when I arrived the shops is nice and definitely my vibe specially if you like taking photos I did mention to her I had to come check her out and see her coffees because I am a coffeee lover . I got 3 shaken espresso banana cake and I was happy with the foam pleasant and enjoyable it is dtla so beware parking is lacking but if you live around the area or work then a walk would definitely help Banana cake is really good I ate I didn't take pictures

Cute little cafe in DTLA, offering some unique signature drinks. The place was more for to-go order or quick coffee stop given not much seats available and they didn't really have any high tables for sit and work. The attendant was solo fighter playing barista and order-taker simultaneously. We opted for their Dirty Chai Latte and Brown Sugar Rush Latte. I was just okay with the chai as the espresso kind of dominated the overall flavor but to be fair they did tell us that it came with 2 shots of espresso. Nonetheless I loved the brown sugar one for sure! Imagine iced shaken espresso with brown sugar syrup and topped with cinnamon cream. Every element came in right doze here with bold coffee flavor, right sweetness from the brown sugar and light fluffy cream top with cinnamon hint!

Banana crème matcha and vanilla latte
Becca L.

Had such a friendly cashier that had let me know the banana crème matcha is their best drink! The menu had some specialty drinks like the horchata latte and the banana crème matcha. Banana crème matcha: 7/10 Vanilla latte: 8/10

Being a DTLA girl I have been searching high and low for the best DTLA shops. I have a few favorites, but this place stole my heart. One of the best coffees I've ever had. Everyone is lovely and welcoming. The space offers seating to work or drink your coffee. I would recommend anything on their menu. My favorites are Trini's horchata latte & Brown sugar rush. I can't stop myself from coming daily it's THAT GOOD. Support your local latina owned businesses!

Stopped by Espresso Hour for a quick coffee run and loved it. Cute minimalist décor, super friendly baristas, and great drink recommendations. We tried the horchata latte, hot chocolate, brown sugar latte, and a classic latte -- and everyone loved their drinks. Cozy spot with great vibes. Definitely worth trying.

Horchata coffee

Sweet owner who knows her coffee! Local Woman owned business! Def coming back to try other flavors

Iced latte
Pedro R.

Such a cozy atmosphere ... feels like you're in an episode of friends where everyone feels like family. It's very chique inside so definitely the place to go if you want to take pictures. I recommend the pistachio lavender iced latte ... The owner and barista are always there to help you and I've never had this level of customer service before. 5/5

Trini's Horchata Latte
Luis H.

As someone who is an everyday coffee drinker this place is it! Amazing drink selections and so far my top drink is the Trini's Horchata Latte with an extra shot. By far the best drink on the menu!!

Espresso Hour is such a cute coffee shop in Downtown LA. The brown sugar latte is 10/10 and you can't beat their prices.

What an absolute treat in the Japan Town area! Not too far from the center, just a short walk away…read moreis Kokoro No Coffee- a pop-up coffee shop at Aloha Cafe. 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!

Got there at 9am and ordered drinks. Friendly service and delicious coffee beans. Great pop up…read morespot to support located at Aloha Cafe in little Tokyo! I could see some outdoor sitting option to wait or enjoy coffee being helpful, yet currently it is only take out with paper and plastic cups available.

It was pretty busy for late afternoon but I took it as a good sign. My sister has been a bunch of times before and really wanted me to try their cream top but I don't drink coffee and they apparently stopped allowing modifications to their drinks so you can no longer add the cream top to the matcha latte. She got the cream top coffee and I got the matcha latte so I could sip the top of hers and drink mine and it was honestly so so good. I have no idea how they make their cream top but it's unlike any other I've tried. The matcha itself was also very smooth and great quality. Both drinks came out to just $13.50 total, which is amazing. Would come again!

The matcha latte is superb-5 stars The service is fine, it's…read morecrowded but the line out the door went pretty quick. 4 stars The ambiance needs improvement. I get the Japandi minimalist design aesthetic but a lot of people would love to just sit down and drink their spendy beverage and there's just not enough seats for all the customers. I would suggest adding more benches along the North wall which is an entirely usable space as well as adding another counter along the window with barstools. For this, I have to give the ambiance 2 stars. I'd still come back for the exceptional matcha latte though!
