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!

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.

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 (:

I walked in expecting a croissant. I left spiritually renewed, slightly over-caffeinated, and emotionally attached to a baguette named Gerald. The staff? So friendly I thought I accidentally joined a cult, like, the delicious kind. The barista smiled at me like I had potential. Nobody has done that since 2013. The coffee? Bold. Smooth. Made me question my loyalty to my Nespresso machine. I took one sip and said "bonjour" to my new personality. read more

We stopped in during our vacation and only had coffee but WOW was it good! It's a strong coffee but very smooth so it's not bitter or acidic. The rest of our time in California we kept looking for a coffee that would be as good but found nothing. It reminded us of our favorite coffee in Italy. If we ever visit LA we hope to still find them making this amazing coffee. read more

Wow, We came here for lunch today and were pleasantly surprised! The owner is super friendly and gave us a few pieces of fresh watermelon as he was making our watermelon juice (which was delicious)! I got the Club sandwich and honestly, I was expecting a very basic sandwich with just the listed ingredients. Turkey, Ham, Lettuce, Cheese, and Tomato. What I got totally surpassed my admittedly low expectations. The sandwich had all of the listed ingredients plus pesto, cucumbers, and chopped chilis! It was really good! My wife got the BLT and again, we expected a very basic bacon lettuce tomato sandwich but it surprised us with some sort of italian dressing and chopped chilis which enhanced the flavors! I definitely need to come back to try the coffee as well as other food items. Also, prices are very very reasonable considering it's in the middle of DTLA. read more

It's hard to find a good place to sit outside and relax and have real cup of coffee nowadays. Alas, I have found another place where I can go and enjoy a darn good cup of matcha tea or coffee.I love small coffee shops because they serve real quality not quantity. I bumped into this place when I finished eating some delicious Persian food a couple stores down. I ordered a matcha latte and the barista made an art into it and tasted wonderful! Not sweet at all, just the flavor of the matcha power! Next time I shall come with a book and have a cappuccino. The owners of this cafe are really nice and friendly and greatly appreciate business.

Hmmm...well, they were really nice. And yes, the alley is a nice, clean, quiet(er) atmosphere. However, that is where my agreement with the previous reviewers end. I guess I thought because of the name, that I would feel like I was sitting in a Parisian cafe. I would have, if Parisian cafes are teeny tiny liquor stores crammed with teas on wall and sundry items on the other. So I didn't really feel in the mood for trying the coffee even after everybody raved about it...I didn't feel like having coffee outside a liquor store in an alley. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and tuna sandwich. Both were fine, nothing to write home about...regular wheat bread. But they were really nice, as I said. read more

this place is lovely! It's hidden away in an alley off 7th. The address might throw you off. First of all, it's cash only, which I should have known before I got there, but the young man working there gave me my croissant for free along with the most amazing cafe mocha I have ever had. (He also catered to my music taste and played some Bad Religion for me) Then when I left, the owner gave me a free cup of ice tea. I love this place. definitely going back. read more

Le Cafe Bonjour has definitely been one of the most disappointing and upsetting coffeeshops I have visited. For one, the pictures make this place seem like a God-sent... a super pleasant cafe to enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee. NOPE!! The place is a tiny hole in the wall cafe in a very dingy alley. Coming here on a cloudy day also made the entire visit a bit depressing. Since the seating is all outside, the alleyway definitely plays a role in the ambiance of the coffeeshop. The coffeeshop is kind of a fusion between a cafe and a liquor store. Really cramped. The alleyway was extremely dirty...and the day I went, it smelled like HEAVY urine! So happy I was meeting with people...so I wasn't just sitting in a grungy environment drinking a poorly made capp. Coffee art? I've given up on seeing people make coffee art (unless you asked for it, or it's for display purposes). The guy just blotched the foam on top, and then handed it to me. So all these fantastic designs other people have gotten...bewilders me... Also, I asked for my drink "for here", and the guy gave me a to-go cup. Oddly enough, the person I met with had an actual cup. Do they only have one cup? Such a disappointment. Not my kind of place. Quite far from it... read more

What can I say to express how much I love this place and being a regular there. This cosy cafe is located in a semi covered alley in the diamond district. The atmosphere is very European and it is frequented by many old men sitting around drinking coffee all day. The coffee therefore is of course traditional and truly excellent. this is no starbucks... The owner and his staff are really friendly and it's always a pleasure to find time to make it there for a coffee. Try it out!! read more

It kind of reminds me of cafes in Korea. They also have both indoor and outdoor seatings.

The latte art was beautiful, and it was clear that care went into the preparation. My only technical feedback is that the body started to fall off a bit around the halfway point of the drink. The first half had great structure and balance, but it didn't quite maintain that same texture through the finish. A minor critique in what was otherwise a strong cup. Ronin was great to chat with and clearly knows what he's doing behind the bar. Friendly, professional, and someone who takes pride in the craft. It's always nice when the quality of the coffee is matched by the person serving it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for another cortado.

The dirty matcha wasn't horrible but the matcha flavor was ok so it's probably better to stick to their coffee drinks overall.

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 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!

We visited on a Monday around noon and were able to park in lot for free because we were grabbing coffee to-go. Seems like lot might be valet only during other times. Orange Bianco- wasn't bad but not my favorite. It tasted like coffee with orange juice. Injeolmi Latte -tastes just like what you expect it to taste like. If you're a slow drinker like myself, this drink thickens as it sits. In the beginning it was great but personally the thick roasted soybean powder was too much texture.
