I have not stopped thinking about that black sesame brown sugar latte since I had it for the first…read moretime last week. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too strong (but rich coffee flavor) and creamy but not oily, just so delicious. And the location is a nice spot too. It looked as much like an art gallery as it did a coffee spot. It is small but it has nice designated areas to work and relax. When I was there it was also quiet which is a nice change from a lot of coffee shops. And I believe it was the Owner who made my drink and she was very friendly and chill without being you know that kind of corporate-y overly effusive. The whole vibe could be summed up as relaxed. It's a really relaxed and relaxing environment. But if nothing else I will absolutely be back for that latte, it was *delicious*.

Espresso Social Club is such an easily missed spot since it's on a street with not much signage…read more Drive by, and you really will miss it! Walk by, and... you have keen eyes if you catch the sign by the door. Walk in, and you're welcomed by the most inviting woman who's ready to make you one of the best espressos and drinks from scratch. I'm not one to be venture out of a basic iced latte, but I knew I had to go for one of their seasonals when they had black sesame - unfortunately sold out! (Even at 11am... must be popular!) Somehow, some way, I had the privilege of trying their iced oat latte with black sesame foam. There was everything to like about this drink from the perfectly bold espresso - a good balance of nutty but toasty - but also a sesame cream foam. After getting the drinks, there is a quiet space to sit around and lounge about. Have a book or magazine? The couch is perfect. Have work to do? There's small tables in the hallway or even a large table and desk inside the private room. Comfortably enough, the ambiance itself is best described as open arms exclaiming "Welcome Home!" almost like a friend or neighbor is inviting you to their apartment for a cup of coffee. Wi-Fi and outlets are definitely available here. The only thing to bring to reach a flow state is your own set of noise cancelling earbuds. The walls and doors are indeed paper thin, and the traffic from the street does have a way of echoing and rumbling these walls. Other than that, though, my only bittersweet feeling with sharing this glowing review of Espresso Social Club is that finding space to work on future visits might now be a bit more competitive.

Super cute little coffee shop in LA. I drive by here often and had never noticed this coffee shop…read more While driving back from the airport I wanted some coffee and stopped by. I ordered the Angelo and it was the best coffee I have had. They have plenty of street parking and seating available as well. Will be coming back!

i love a good spanish latte!…read more i discovered this place because i visit a coffee shop called Nook that is local to where i live and they sell Jetty coffee beans, that i purchase for at-home espresso and they were amazing! 10/10 :)

Went here for our monthly BIPOC Fiber Friends meetup. It was my first time at the cafe and I loved…read moreit! I ordered a decaf oat latte and avocado toast - the avocado toast was more flavorful than the usual I have, which was a nice surprise. Our group took up a sizable number of tables, so Carmen came over and offered to let us use the back area the next time we come if we give her a heads up. The food and drinks were on point, the staff were friendly, and we felt so welcomed! Will definitely be back to support this community cafe.

What happen to the prices here…read more Stop coming here for 6 months and prices are way to much One bottle of water 8 dollars. lol come on I don't mind but for those who really can't afford this is too much.

A friend told me the coffee cake here would take me back to that classic LAUSD coffee cake, so I…read morehad to come taste for myself * Vibe: Chill café with a relaxed atmosphere. A few people were on their laptops. * What we ordered: * Nutty Professor - 10/10 * Spanish Latte - 10/10 * Abuelita Cold Brew - taste like abuelitas chocolate * Coffee Cake - nostalgic and delicious Overall: Great drinks, great vibes, and that coffee cake alone is worth the visit. Definitely coming back.

Randomly chose this place from a list Google Maps provided along my morning commute. Cozy space…read more The guy that took my order was super nice. I was pleasantly surprised to see the small nook for reading and ample places to eat and work. The window stations all had outlets and there was even a printer! I ordered the lox bagel with egg and a hot pistachio latte. The latte was unexpected. I read pistachio/raspberry, but didn't expect to taste pieces of pistachio and raspberries. I liked it! Keep this in mind for those of you that don't like texture. Carefully read the description or ask ahead of time. Look at my bagel sandwich. It was so thoughtfully made. It made me excited to eat it and it was pretty tasty too. I prefer my bagels a little more toasted, but that's no fault of theirs. I will definitely come back anytime. I get a chance to taste some of their other drinks and try their oatmeal. What would have made this visit perfect is if they had some background music playing. It was just..different to be in a coffee space just hearing sounds of the fridge, AC, feel shuffling and general operations.. hehe. Great for studying I guess. Parking can be a bit of a hassle. I thankfully found a parking spot in a retail center.

My husband has his forever favorite -- the Einspänner -- and of course he ordered it again at Damo…read more It's still his number‑one coffee anywhere, and today was no exception. I decided to try something new and went for the Chocolate Forest Matcha... absolutely divine. Rich, earthy, slightly sweet, and so beautifully balanced. What surprised me most is how different the inside feels compared to the outside. From the street, it looks a little gahtto and unassuming, but the moment you step in, it's a completely different world -- cozy, bright, warm, and welcoming. It's the kind of space that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Damo continues to be one of those rare spots where the drinks are memorable and the atmosphere feels like a little hidden gem.

5/5 I've tried all their matcha drinks and all are pretty good…read more 4/5 I've visited the arts district location and I always see them a bit understaffed (usually just 2) and they can get swarmed if a group of 4-6 customers all arrived at the same time. They seem to always deliver with precision and with warmth and smile even when busy. 6/5 on the ambience. The place is huge and so vibey. They also have an outdoor area in the back (you have to walk to the street / alley way ) which is about a 3 minute walk from the front door.

My new favorite spot for decadent matcha and hojicha drinks!…read more The cream top on the hojicha einspanner was so creamy and thick, and it was also the perfect level of sweetness. The strawberry matcha einspanner was also yummy and had a great presentation The space is pretty small but there are a few seats available. The line was around 20 minutes long on a Saturday afternoon. Like most spots in ktown, the parking lot is limited and you'll likely need to find street parking, but it is definitely worth the hype!

This was our last stop of our mini cafe tour when leaving LA and headed back home. We came…read moreshortly after opening, so there was plenty of parking and it wasn't crazy crowded yet. Upon entering the place is clean, sleek, and modern. We were greeted right away. I already knew I was leaving with 2 drinks for the drive back home. I ordered: 1. Cold brew vanilla: Delicious, I love that tou can see the vanilla cream on top. This was definitely what I needed to wake me up. 2. Matcha einspener: I tasted this and immediately loved it when leaving the store. I saved it for last. It was so light and refreshing. I could easily drink it all day if they had a bigger size lol. I was hoping to try the seasonal mango cream matcha, but sadly it was gone. 3. Pastries: I wanted to try the sampler but I don't thinking they had it yet. I tried one of the cinnamon pastries. It was soft and very cinnamony. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll be back soon.

This was a really good spot. I'm not a matcha lover but the drinks here were deliciousread more

I can see why its so highly rated!…read more Street parking, little seating inside but decorated very well and so cute!
