I was genuinely excited to try this place, so unfortunately I left twice as disappointed not only by the rude service, but also because the flavors just weren't there. I've ordered takeout from here in the past and wasn't too impressed, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured maybe the food didn't travel well or simply wasn't as good by the time it got to me. I was hoping dining in would be a completely different experience, but sadly, that wasn't the case. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I'm hoping this feedback reaches someone who can actually address some of these issues, especially the service, since I noticed similar comments in quite a few other reviews. We tried the chilaquiles enfrijoladas and the French toast, along with a cortado and a café de olla latte. The enfrijoladas were way too salty and really needed something to balance the dish. For fried tortilla chips covered in bean sauce with one sad sunny side up egg just felt incomplete. A little something on the side to complement the flavors maybe the onion could be pickled or a little more crema and definitely a much lighter hand with the salt would make a big difference. The French toast was mediocre at best. The café de olla latte was unnecessarily too sweet, and the cortado was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype on social media. I really wanted to love this place because it has so much potential. The ambiance is beautiful and I loved all the art and cultural influences throughout the space, which is why it's disappointing that the food and service didn't match that same level of care. I'd still be willing to give it another try in the future, and I genuinely hope I can come back and update this with a much more positive review. When you're drawing so much inspiration from the culture, I just wish the food represented it with the same care and attention that went into the space.

Damo has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Arts District. Their premium matcha is…read morerich, smooth, and balanced without any bitterness. You can really taste the quality in every sip, and it's clear they take their sourcing and preparation seriously. The minimalistic interior is also a plus for this location. It's a great space for studying, catching up with friends, or just taking a break. It's a spacious interior with much more seating compared to the Koreatown location.

8/4/2026 3 1/2 Stars…read more First time at Damo. MATCHA EINSPANER Very creamy matcha. Matcha flavor is there, but it's not distinct matcha where you can taste the nuances of the matcha flavors. The cream top does make it very creamy and it does mask majority of the matcha flavor. It did taste like a dessert drink. It was enjoyable though. COLD BREW VANILLA Weirdly sour and smoky flavored cold brew. Slight floral flavor too. It was such an odd combination of flavors with the vanilla cold foam. The lingering aftertaste was not good either. It's neither this nor that. Would not recommend! FINANCIERS Their financiers are made by a local bakery called Musk. It seems their financier flavors are changed often, so no same flavors are in rotation. Sausage & Parmesan - The almond cake's vanilla flavor with the sausage and salty parmesan was a unique flavor. The almond cake was nice and spongy. It did take a bit of time to get used to the savory flavors with the almond cake. It's like a breakfast in an unexpected way. Nutella - Buttery almond cake with nutella and roasted hazelnuts. Enjoyed it! I think Nutella fans would like it. Mugwort + Fig - Buttery in the beginning and it ends with a good, medium-strength flavor of mugwort. Fig was garnish on top, so you barely get it. However, I like that they added the sweetness of the figs with the earthy bitter mugwort. Overall, it was uniquely delicious and mugwort was the star. Yuza + Apricot - A tad sweeter than expected due to the outer brush of yuza aka yuzu simple syrup. Loved the chewy apricot on top. It really brought a lovely fruityness to the financier. The yuzu flavor was there alongside the butteryness of the almond cake. All the financiers were done well! Delicious! Recommend trying at least one when you're at this location. Not sure if their financiers are offered at their other locations. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was good. Not terribly friendly, but still answered my questions. Staff were all busy making the drinks. AMBIANCE + SEATS Really large space with rows of tables and chairs. It was strange walking in and seeing various tables and seats to one side and it almost looked like a cafe used as office space. Seeing all the people sitting down on their laptops or talking, as though they're having a casual business meeting there. It was just strange. The tables were mixed wooden tables and chairs. There were long benches too for people waiting for takeout orders. The large space felt so roomy, I get why the tables were all taken. PARKING Street parking is available, yet when I was there in the early afternoon on a Tuesday, it was packed! The only place to park was the paid parking lot right across from Damo. Parking was $5.00. I wouldn't recommend parking elsewhere outside of that street, as it is a sketchy area and lots of homeless encampments around the area. Would I return? Not sure. I like the large, roomy warehouse space with lots of tables to sit in, but the cafe being in a sketchy area gives me hesitation. Not in love with $5.00 parking too. One of my drinks was good, but the other was bad. The only thing I loved was the financiers.

Matcha Latte: loved it, You can tell they use high grade matcha. It was incredibly creamy with a velvety, smooth finish, easily one of the best matches I've had. Spiced Cold Brew: Concentrated cold brew mixed with a cinnamon and chili-infused sweetened milk. My friend ordered this out of curiosity. While the chili element wasn't quite my personal preference, its a unique profile & the subtle spice surprisingly pairs quite well with the cinnamon. If you're a matcha lover, definitely add this spot to your list!

I was humming and hawing on whether or not to write this but ultimately I'm hoping the owners see my review and take note. My hot latte was overly foamy and the texture just wasn't right. It tasted fine but as a regular who even tips I feel like quality of the product I recieve should reflect the price I'm paying with my hard earned money. Overall, I'm still a big fan of leaflet and love all their drinks but I'm hesitant to come in as often as I did now after this experience. There are a couple baristas I trust and others not as much.

This place is absolutely amazing and definitely a must-try if you're in the area. Even if you're not, it's worth the trip. Everything we tried was delicious, and the espresso drinks were delightful-- not too sweet, just the right balance. We've actually been back three times since our first visit, and the experience has been amazing every time. The staff is super friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. The location might surprise you. This gem is tucked away in a somewhat random location, with no real storefront, in a small downtown-style corridor. The seating area is next door, which is also a little unexpected, but it's very cute and nicely done. The food has bold, explosive flavors and is truly something different. Everything we've tried has been delicious and memorable. Even though I live about 45 minutes away, I'll definitely be coming back with friends and family. This is one of those places I'm happy to make the drive for.

I never really thought much of cafe food anyway... until I had the Chimi Sando. Jesus Christ. That sandwich was sooooo good. Being 34 weeks pregnant now has completely thrown off my taste buds, and I've been telling Michaela, the co-owner, that I don't even recognize myself anymore. I don't know what I like, and I can't do the super sugary coffees I used to get from other places anymore. She recommended some beans and cold brews based on what I was looking for, and every single recommendation was so good. Michaela is just awesome. You can tell when someone genuinely cares about what they're creating and the experience they're giving people. She even surprised me and my husband with some complimentary tostadas, I honestly don't know exactly what was on them, but whatever it was...was soooo good! The whole experience was just so good, great coffee, great food, great people, and such a welcoming vibe. Ulew was already one of my favorite coffee spots, but now knowing the person behind it makes me love it even more. Anyway...I came for coffee and left realizing that they can continue to take my money.
