To call this place Nice is an understatement. It should be renamed Amazing. This was the closest coffee spot to my hotel that caught my attention on Yelp. I arrived before the rush hour crowd and got my cup of cold brew quickly. After picking up some stuff from my hotel, I spent over an hour here on a high table sipping my cold brew while on a Zoom call. The cold brew was great. The staff was very friendly. What's even better is that there is so much outdoor seating available for you to choose from. You can sit at the bar in front of the baristas, on a high table getting some work done, or on comfortable cushioned seats chatting with friends. It was a surprisingly good spot for some people watching. read more

LOVE this spot! It is way TOO much fun being here during my office hours. Everyone is helpful, attentive, and super friendly! My usual coffee order is a latte with half & half and they do an amazing job. Must try. Outdoor cozy spot that offers later business hours than most of the surrounding coffee places. read more

This is the go-to spot for coffee in the early hours of a workday. The baristas are always so friendly, and the coffee selection is fantastic. They also have yummy desserts and even breakfast burritos! It's the perfect place to start the day, especially after a long drive into DTLA. It is a bit pricey, but I don't mind splurging on quality coffee! read more

Very nice staff, a well made flat white and yummy pastry, what's not to love? I'm partial to strong flavors for espresso and this was more mild, but still quite good. read more

Not just a NICE coffee place, it was a GREAT coffee place. The lines are long in the morning but rightfully so and worth the wait! They take orders and make the drinks pretty quick. The staff are friendly and greet you with a smile. I got a vanilla latte with less ice. It was the perfect balance of vanilla & espresso. They do charge 50 cents extra for light ice, but I'll take it for more coffee! Also, there is only one size. They also have a lot of pastries and breakfast burritos that I'll have to try next time. Great close walk if you work/live in dtla by flower & 5th. read more

Ordered a matcha latte paired with a donut and it was yummy. I didn't make any mods to my drink so it was pretty reasonably priced. Can tell they use good quality matcha, would definitely be back. read more

I was in town for work and this "nice" little coffee shop was on the way to my office. An iced mocha and cherry cake donut was the perfect way to start my morning. This place is definitely on my list of return spots the next time I'm in LA for work! Make sure you get here early as the donut selection goes very quickly. read more

First time trying and didn't disappoint! Service is amazing, the cashier gave us good suggestions in which coffee to choose and the barista made my daughters day by letting her pour our coffee. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Nice Coffee - Vanilla latte, latte, and hot chocolate drinks. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Left a lunch at Drago and decided to have post lunch coffee here at Nice. I was with a group of five. We walked up and they handled our group size with ease. Prompt service and quick turn on coffee. We even had a couple of people ask for changes to their drink after ordering and the staff was super cool and flexible about it. Coffee was good. My colleagues felt it was a little bitter but I actually love that. Our group ended up with vanilla lattes as well as peppermint and lavender. All very enjoyable. Next time I would order light syrup as my vanilla was on the sweeter side. I know this place serves some food too but we didn't try any on this visit. The surrounding area was nice and clean and felt very safe. I will defiantly be back next time. read more

wow! Delicious coffee! I especially love coffee shops that do not have a uniform. I love seeing the barista's personality expressed through their OOTD & this staff does not disappoint! The staff is so diverse and welcoming. They are so knowledgeable on coffee & seem like they genuinely love being baristas. There is plenty of seating incase you want to people watch while you enjoy a pastry & coffee read more

Great coffee! Gets very busy in the morning. Breakfast burrito and pastry selection is great too!

New favorite coffee pit stop in DTLA. The coffee here is delicious. I was honestly surprised at the quality. The location is pretty central, and I love the quiet shady courtyard that it's in. Giggling fountain in the midst of some corporate skyscrapers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the coffee stand was founded by a well known barista. Service was great, fast and professional. The minimal aesthetic of the outcropping itself was very nice. Only draw was parking. As far as DTLA goes, not even any sort of street parking anywhere near the area. Would love to visit again. read more

One of the best coffee spots in downtown LA! It's Located between the Paul Hastings building and the city national tower. Nice coffee is a really nice outdoor booth that serves great coffee and food. On Fridays they serve breakfast burritos that are great!!! The vibe is really nice as you are tucked between giant skyscrapers and right next to a beautiful Water fountain. Highly Recommend: Breakfast Burrito (only on fridays) Spinach and cheese pastry Vanilla Latte Mocha Latte read more

An ironic name given the poor service this morning. I dropped by with colleagues this morning around 9am and the cashier didn't say a single word to me during our entire interaction. I'm not kidding, he didn't say anything the entire time. I usually order for pickup, so I wasn't aware that the service could be nonexistent. Also, the cold brew was bitter, maybe to match the cashier's attitude. I won't be back... read more

Easily one of the best espressos served in DTLA. Latte was perfecto! Whole milk foam is thick & yummy. Situated in a lovely street side courtyard with sculpture fountain. An urban oasis. Love the morning walk to grab my first cup there ! read more

Nice Coffee - the outside of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Solid coffee and served at the right temperature, i.e., drinkable right away. Nothing I hate more than coffee served too hot. I ordered the vanilla latte, which I don't normally get, and it was strong. I like that their menu is not too fancy which makes ordering and getting the drinks out to the customer, a breeze. The stand was packed, but the staff were friendly and efficient and I did not have to wait too long for my drink. read more

Stopped by on a Friday morning after a solid workout class at Orangetheory and this place did bit disappoint. Amazing coffee, and pastries, and their breakfast burritos on Friday mornings?!?! the coffee spot/booth is located infront of city national bank and Drago Centro. It's environment is peaceful and pretty! Will probably be back here every Friday now! Thanks for the great experience Nice Coffee! read more

A cute little coffee stand tucked amid the big business buildings! The workers are super friendly - they really took the name of their shop seriously haha Being a stand, they don't have a very complex menu, but they do well with what they have. I got a plain latte, and it was exactly what I needed before I got started for the work day. There's plenty of outdoor seating in the plaza next to it. It's a cute coffee place for sure, but definitely more a place to stop by if you're in the area, not somewhere to go out of your way for. The only reason I say this is because parking isn't great around here. Otherwise, this is great if you're looking for a pick me up before going into work! read more

Nice! That's exactly what it was! I came here before work along others who had the same idea as me. I got the lavender latte with oat milk and a breakfast burrito. Service wise, it was awesome. They were so extremely friendly and welcoming, I wanted to stay. This small coffee stand had amazing pastries and coffee. I love how close I am to this place from work, and just the overall vibes of the surrounding area. I always see people enjoying their coffee in the courtyard so it's a very open, chic space. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito which was extremely hot and delicious. It came with two sides, an avocado crème based one and a mild verde salsa. Both complimented the burrito beautifully. It was a small, skinny burrito that was $6. I mean.. it's LA so I get it. Overall, a nice little treat ! read more

Set in the middle of an open-air plaza you can't miss it. When the weather is nice it's a great place to sit outside and enjoy your coffee. Prices are on the steeper side but nothing outrageous, especially in the specialty coffee world where I find the average to be about $5. Usually a black coffee drinker I went outside my comfort zone for the vanilla latte ($4.50) at the insistence of my co-workers. Not surprisingly I found it to be sweet but not intensely so which is an endorsement coming from a no sugar, no cream person. I will definitely return to try my usual (black coffee) and see how it fares but if you're a vanilla latte fan I'd say go for it. The baristas are also super helpful and knowledgeable should you have any questions or special milk requests. I strongly suggest walking here. There is a parking lot underneath (no street parking) but I'm assuming the fees are high. read more

A nice coffee stand in downtown LA, with great vibes overall! I ordered their Iced Lavender Latte which was arguably small given the price but flavor was delicious and wasn't watered down with ice.

I loved the coffee and the breakfast burritos! Great service as well. A nice place for coffee definitely.

I used to come here once a week when I worked nearby and the people working there were always so friendly and learned everyone's names! The drinks are very high quality and there's lots of pastry selections as well. It's a coffee stand in a big courtyard so there's no indoor space but lots of outdoor seating read more

Definitely the best coffee in the area IMO. You can tell the coffee is made with care as it is delicious every single time. The staff are great, and very NICE. I always come for the iced vanilla latte w/ oat milk and am satisfied every time. They also carry some extremely delicious cookies - I always go for a butterscotch miso cookie whenever it's available. read more

Sat down at the bar to enjoy the creme brûlée pastry with a vanilla latte and a cold brew. Can I just say the cold brew is the best I've had in town? Also the pastry was just the right amount of sweet. Such an interesting twist with creme brûlée and croissant. I didn't try the vanilla latte but my friend said it was delicious. Elliot is a delight and so friendly! He made great suggestions. My friend and I really enjoyed our coffee date at Nice. Will definitely be rolling through to get coffee here during the weekdays. It's hard to find coffee shop gems in the city and I wholeheartedly love this place. read more

Would I come back? Looking at pictures, it looks like their pastries vary from time to time. Yesterday I had the donut holes and they were amazing. It had filling inside and it was not overly sweet. Today I had the apple turnover. Not as amazing as the donut holes but it was good too. It was light, fluffy and buttery. I would definitely come back to try their other items that they have displayed. On both visits I ordered the cold brew. You can definitely get better/stronger cold brews at other nearby coffee shops, but this does its job. I just wish it was a little stronger. The first cup I had was good but on my second visit, the cold brew had a hint of sourness. Everything here is on the pricier side. Most of the bakery items are $5 and up so getting this everyday will be costly. The cold brew is $4 which is the average price you'd get around Downtown. read more

My favorite coffee when I'm downtown in the office! It's a popular place to grab a drink or pastry so try to get there before 9 to avoid a long line. I always order the vanilla latte which is reasonably priced (5.75) and just the right amount of sweetness. read more

Cute little coffee stand across the street from the library. Great coffee and super friendly service. Plenty of seating at tables and benches around the fountain. The drinks are tiny, like the size of a S-Bux "tall." And bummer of all bummers: I was picking up my vanilla latte and saw they had a separate "specialty" latte menu off to the far side, where you pick up your drink. It was on a pink felt board with white lettering so difficult to notice and read. They had a pumpkin spice latte! Grrrr. My vanilla latte was good, but I really would've preferred a seasonal drink. They should set it out where customers are ordering and will see it! read more

McCarty & Caleb who work on Wednesdays are great! They always make my weekly iced chai tea are consistent & tasty. The service is great & the coffee quality is incredible. Will keep coming back! read more

There are so many amazing coffee shops across DTLA that it's overwhelming, but Nice Coffee has a huge chunk of the business marketed cornered over in West DTLA, and it's because they run a great shop. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The folks at Nice Coffee are amazing, and they can burn through even the most robust workday lines. You've got to be pretty buttoned up in knowing what you want, so take inventory up front so that you don't draw the ire of your fellow patrons. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $4.75 for a smaller Vanilla Latte and $5.00 Koign-Amann - reasonable. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Everything at Nice Coffee was very good. The Vanilla Latte was the right balance of sweet and bitter, and while not one of the best I've had in recent memory, the Koign-Amann was well executed thanks to a nice layer of caramel on the bottom. Additional kudos to Nice Coffee for having a wide range of good looking sandwiches as well. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Nice Coffee isn't among my top tier of coffee shops in DTLA, but it has such a diverse range of offerings that are executed well that I'd be excited to come back. Star. read more
