    A large iced latte next to a mug for scale.
    Paul S.

    Usually when you go for coffee, and want a large iced latte, they tell you no, they only have one size. Or, if they have a large, it's actually regular sized, and their so-called "regular" is small. This place has large iced lattes that are actually large. Just look at the photo. That's a good sized iced latte. It also helps that it was a really good iced latte. Not too much milk, even for that size. And they clearly use good espresso beans. As for the place itself, the barista was really nice, the place had a cool mellow vibe, and there were a bunch of comfy seats inside. There's also a couple chairs outside, but not a lot. Also, if my trip is any indication, they have cool pastries, but not if you go after lunch. They had almost nothing left when I got there. Also, the parking is, as you probably know, lousy in that area. So plan accordingly.

    White chocolate latte and matcha croissant
    Quynh D.

    I'm always searching for new coffee shops in LA and this was a gem! There was a line of people waiting for it to open, so I knew it was legit. One of the best spots I've tried. It was GOOD. Had to give 5 stars for the barista who was taking orders AND making coffee quick and seamlessly. I tried the white chocolate latte and matcha croissant. I'm a fan! My only disappointment was that they didn't have any of the breakfast items I was interested in like the bacon sandwich or chicken panini... only what was shown in the cases. I'll definitely come back! Ambiance reminded me of a coffee shop in NY. No frills, not overdone but delivers. Exactly what I need in my life. Also affordable and not overpriced in my opinion.

    Get here as quickly as you can for coffee and pastry artistry at its finest. Husband and wife duo bring deep expertise and craft to this neighborhood gem in Little Ethiopia. Not pretentious. Not more than is necessary. Genuine care and connection only. I cannot recommend this place more.

    Iced blueberry matcha and americano
    Shirley W.

    First time stopping by and it's a pretty small shop, kind of hard to notice if you're driving by too fast. Cafe is located on a street with many Ethiopian restaurants, which there are also plenty of meter parking here too. Surprisingly a quarter is 15 mins on this street, so that's pretty good! Walking in, it's a very peaceful and quaint little coffee shop. It seems like it specializes a lot in matcha drinks, so I was really interested in trying the iced blueberry matcha. I got the large size (about $5) and it's quite worth for the size you're getting. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any matcha croissants available, but a lot of the pastries seem to have been sold out by 12pm on a Sunday. Wish there could have been more! Drinks were served rather quickly, there's only one man working the station and he seems to be well experienced in his craft. I was really pleased to see how dark green my drink was, so I know it's gonna be good matcha! Overall my drink was really refreshing, I really liked it a lot! The blueberry was very very subtle I would say, so I wish I could have tasted more of that, but the drink overall was pretty nice. My bf's americano said his was pretty standard, so that's good to hear at least too. Hope I can try the matcha croissant next time.

    Iced Kyoto Cold Brew
    Winn H.

    I visited Little Ethiopia and coincidentally parked outside Paradocs; seeing that it was a local cafe, I wanted to try it out. I walked in, and there was no one at the front. Eventually, a staff member came out to take my order, and I ordered the Kyoto cold brew. I have to admit it was quite an awkward - yet brief - experience. The staff member worked quite hastily but was also quite short with me. In total, the order and pick up took maybe a whole minute, and the staff member abruptly went back to the back. I wasn't sure what the situation was, but it definitely wasn't a welcoming first experience. Paradocs has a petite interior and patio that can seat maybe 6-10 people, and their menu is quite simple. I enjoyed seeing their unique flavors here, but the experience leaves more to be desired. Overall, though, the price was fair, and the coffee was dark and savory. :).

    Latte Miel
    Anthony P.

    Great place to stop by for some coffee as the Urban LIghts and tar pits are nearby if you're visiting LA. The outside is unassuming and apparently this place has really good baked goods and croissants because they were all sold out when we stopped by around noon which is wild. LATTE MIEL Really really good! The sweetness of the honey is not overpowering and the cinnamon adds a nice touch of spice to a well blended and bold coffee flavor with creaminess and nuttiness of the oat milk. It's the right amount of sweetness without anything. Would definitely come back and try some of their other menu items. They seem to take their craft pretty seriously.

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!
