    What a cute little out of the way café. It's on St Vincent alley so you might miss it in the hubub of DTLA. It's a tiny but very clean and efficient little spot. The owner was there working the espresso machine. They were very nice, we chatted as he made me the tastiest oat milk latte with cinnamon on top. As a coffee snob, let me tell you it was super fresh and high quality stuff. The pastries looked divine. Next time!

    Cappuccino. Made with skill.

    As others have said, this is a true mom and pop establishment, I only had the cappuccino but it was delicious (and a fair price). There is a time warp element here at Le Cafe Bonjour. It could be 1964, 1984 or even 2024, which all part of the charm! Highly recommend to anyone passing through St. Vincent's Court.

    Definitely a hole in the wall with the cutest couple running it. I ordered the cafe Latte with oak milk and it is delicious! The cost is extremely affordable for a rich smooth taste. I will come here every time I'm in the area. I love the energy and vibe of this tiny place! It's not for everyone so have an open mind!

    This place is a hidden gem located in an alleyway. It's a small place and the sign isn't that obvious, so you might miss it if you don't pay attention. The barista was super friendly. I ordered a small cafe latte with soy ($3.50). It's decent but not impressive. My friend ordered a flat white, he let her pick the coffee and milk portion. I love my other friend's mocha better, the cocoa portion was just right but rich.

    Mocha Frappuccino, so texture is so fine and the cream & sweetness is just right. Waayyyy better than Starbucks Frapp!

    The Best Mocha Frappuccino! Blended very fine, creamy and yet not too sweet. Way better than Starbucks

    Such a cute, hidden gem! Impress your friends with your knowledge that St. Vincent's Court exists, then further impress them with the amazing prices that Le Cafe Bonjour has to offer. Parking is up to you: there are Meters on the streets surrounding the court, plus stacked parking off of Hill. Hoofing it from the 7th & Metro station is another option for Metro riders. At any rate, check out the cute, quaint charm of LCB but keep your party small since there's maybe a seat or two inside: it's mostly counter space. There are also a couple tables outside to soak in the charm of this faux European alleyway as you nosh on hot breakfast, sandwich or even ramen soup! I've been here many times with my coworkers, but just on their coffee break. It's safe to say that we agree that their coffee is among the best that Downtown has to offer; as their lattes for one, is silky and sweet as they add a hint of Torani syrup. Prices run about $4.75 for a large latte. I only came here once for the $5 Tuna sandwich which was fine. I wouldn't say it's out of this world, but it's decent. The major downside that affected my star rating is that it took 15-20 minutes to make one sandwich. I only have an hour break for lunch and had to walk half a mile. So it's not worth the while to wait for something so simple when there's so little time to spare. Nevertheless, I look forward to coming back on my breaks. Hopefully, I can enjoy a full meal here before too long!

    Hidden in a secluded alleyway full of character and charm. Cafe Bonjour is a family owned and small cafe that offers one a variety of delicious beverages and drinks including but not limited to noodles, sandwiches, and other tasty snacks. The service was incredible and the owners were beyond kind. A favorite of many are the le cafe panini and porto's pastries. 10/10 would recommend.

    Tiny spot with something for everyone and outdoor café bench seats have cushions and a view of the quaint street for people watching. My friend had a carrot apple juice blend and an omelet with ham veggies and cheese for under $10 and I chose the spicy Korean vegetable noodle soup with an egg that was loaded with flavor and carrots, cabbage, celery, and spinach for only $6! Service is very nice but a bit disorganized. My friend got her omelet and finished before they realized they had not brought me my soup. They apologized profusely. They serve Porto's pastries and espresso so you can come just for dessert. Cash only.

    Food: best omelette in downtown. Best croissant sandwich in downtown Service: everyone is very friendly, feels like family Ambience: it's not like big chain and typical shop. It is located in a eclectic part of the town. So you will be surrounded with mostly family type and businessman from the jewelry shops. They have outside sitting as well.

    This is a small boutique cafe in St Vincent Court, in the jewelry district of downtown Los Angeles. Parking can be found on the surrounding streets easily, and runs between $10-$20. I walked in here today to get a hot cup of joe. Since I'm big on lattes, I opted for a mocha latte. Their quality is pretty good, compared to most commercial coffee spots. They do put quite a bit of chocolate syrup, so I had to emphasize to only put a bit of it, as I'm not into the overly-sugared drinks. The small mocha latte cost me $3.25, and a small bottle of water cost me $1.00. There is a table to sit inside, and a bench with tables just outside the shop. I sat there for about 15 minutes until the Persian restaurant across the way opened. I chatted with local business owners. It's a good place to recharge on caffeine on your walk through downtown LA.

    Pastries, lattes, food

    The pastries paired with a flavorful and creamy latte was a great start to my day. The sandwich had a great crunch and we ended our bite with a nice ice cream espresso. This cafe is located in a tucked away alley that is removed from the sometimes chaotic feeling of downtown. This is a calm and peaceful place that I will return to and get a bite with friends (:

    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!

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.

    4.5 Yelp Stars *** Stopped by here to pick up coffee before…read morethe long roadtrip home to the Bay Area! 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. If you plan to sit here, there's a one-drink-per-person minimum. The café itself is aesthetic and filled with natural light. The drink has that bitter matcha flavor, which I'm usually okay with, but this one wasn't very smooth. It left an aftertaste that I didn't enjoy.
