    Conveniently located at the corner with ample parking, this cafe has the basics of classic Mexican breakfast and/or brunch selection with ample servings to boot! I mean look at that eggs and ham quesadilla ordered to go! Loaded. It was freshly cooked and tasty!!! Thumbs up!

    I love this place. The vibes, the music, the smells, the service, food and drinks - all top tier.

    Little hole in the wall or an underestimated gem - this place deserves more credit than it has right now on yelp. I appreciate the parking lot outside as well as the cozy inside, service, decor and even the authentic and yummy flavors of their food and drinks. The guy forgot our drinks, and without us even asking or saying anything, gave us a concha on the house which he warmed up right before he gave to us. That in itself speaks to their hospitality, their sense of community and how underrated this place in. Also, the sierra juarez is actually coffee or dark chocolate from Oaxaca which I appreciated in terms of flavor and how subtle sweet and rich it was. Cherry on top for supporting both locals with a back to school drive and resourcing from locals back in their home countries

    5 stars for the coffee, service, and burritos!! Sidoh Cafe is a great neighborhood Oaxacan spot, open daily from 6:30am-3pm. The owner is a UCLA alum (go Bruins!), and a lot of items are sourced from Oaxaca (coffee beans, clay mugs). Specialty drinks include a horchata latte, Sierra Juarez latte, and a Oaxacan hot chocolate. They also have a strawberry matcha and other teas for non-coffee folks. The surprise hit though might be their burritos. Geez, they are huge! I got one to-go, and when they gave me the bag, I literally said, "WTF, why is it so heavy?" I got the chorizo burrito for my husband and he loved it. It had chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and onions. Highly recommend! There's limited parking in the lot since it's shared with other restaurants, but if you come before 11am, parking isn't too bad. The other restaurants don't open until 11am.

    What a way to start the day. My partner and I woke up to the sound of drums--turns out, Sidoh Café was celebrating its grand opening with a full-on school band and a mechanical bull! When we arrived, the parking lot and shop were already packed with people excited to welcome the Sidoh family to the West LA Sawtelle neighborhood. It was such a joyful scene, and you could feel the community's support. They're selling beautiful handmade mugs from Oaxaca, with proceeds going directly to the artisans who crafted them! We're excited to come back for the coffee, burritos, and tea--can't wait to see what this vibrant new spot has to offer.

    A cute coffee shop tucked away in the Hop Woo plaza, really like the way it was decorated. The strawberry matcha latte wasnt really strong in matcha, more milky than matcha. But the service was really nice and helpful so would definitely go back to try other drinks, give it a chance!

    I really wanted to try this place driving by and today was the day. I was pleasantly surprised to see it busy and thriving and after trying my burrito I know why. I was getting sick of Bluey's and was looking for an alternative close by, now I found it!!! I had to wait a bit from my pickup time for my order but now that I know they are busy I will come later than the promised time, not a problem at all. I will be back later this week to try the steak dinner!!!

    Delicious! We will be back , great service. When I took the first sip of my Sierra Juarez Latte, I tasted Oaxaca if that makes sense lol love it!

    The chilaquiles were so good! Flavorful, fresh, and exactly what you want every time. The service is always top notch. They truly make us feel at home. They are warm, welcoming, and consistently polite. We come here all the time and the chorizo burrito never disappoints. Highly recommend!

    Horchata Latte, Sierra Juarez

    I was excited about this place because it's Oaxacan-style, and I really loved their iced oat milk horchata latte over the summer. The last time I tried to visit their espresso machine was down, so I hadn't gone back for months. I finally returned today for a hot version of the latte, and it was way too sweet. My boyfriend also ordered a burrito, and the menu situation was confusing. He asked the cashier to confirm if chorizo or veggie were the only options, she said yes, but later we noticed two more options on another sign. The burrito wasn't good anyway: big chunks of potato, onion, and bell pepper, plus mushy chorizo. I also didn't love how the cashier kept peeking over the screen when we were checking out, like watching for a tip. Awkward & uncomfortable! If I'm already in the Sawtelle area and need a coffee, I'd pick this place. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here from Palms since there are plenty of great local shops closer to me. Overall, great concept but it's just okay.

    I love this place every cup is brewed from beans grown and harvested by local farmers in Oaxaca, Mexico, you can taste the authenticity and care in every sip. The flavor is bold, smooth, and beautifully balanced, capturing the richness of Oaxacan soil and tradition. What makes this place stand out is their direct connection to the farmers, no middlemen, just pure, locally grown coffee brought straight from the source to your cup. The staff are passionate and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy something real. If you want coffee that truly honors its roots, this is the place.

    I absolutely love going to Sidoh Café! It's a beautiful Oaxacan coffee shop that truly feels authentic. My favorite part is enjoying their rich, traditional Oaxacan coffee served in unique mugs de barro -- it makes the whole experience feel so special and cozy. The music and ambience create the perfect vibe, whether you're catching up with friends or just relaxing with a cup of coffee. You can really feel the warmth and culture in every detail. Celina is my favorite barista -- she's always welcoming everyone with a smile and makes each visit even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot with character, amazing coffee, and a genuinely inviting atmosphere!

    One of my favorite places to grab coffee and a bite to eat in West LA. Staff is always welcoming and the coffee is great! I drive out of my way in Palms just to come here.

    I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

    This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.
