Friendly staff and great specialty lattes! The black sesame is what drew me in. Minimal and clean interior with a large communal table for working should one need. A great location tucked in the corner between grand and Wilshire. Def worth stopping by for those who are feeling adventurous in trying a new coffee spot (: I love that they are doggo friendly with a welcome treat near the entry area. That def will motivate me to come back for the sake of my doggie baby xD Friday very much enjoyed her jerky thanks Soro team lol I will say for being 1 sized cups only. I think it's only fair if they used the medium grande cups Starbucks uses. Right now it's the small tall size. Just a note on that! read more

I've seen TikToks raving about Soro, and I happened to be in the area to transfer trains and also had to hop on a few Zoom meetings ... the perfect opportunity to try out this place! WHAT I ORDERED: Black sesame cold brew THE DRINK: The cold brew was pretty standard and was pretty smooth. I was definitely impressed by the flavor of the sesame cream - not too overpowering yet flavorful and fragrant. I do wish the cream was a bit thicker, but it makes sense given that it usually comes on top of the latte rather than a cold brew. SERVICE: Great! They answered my questions about the menu. VIBES: Good place to get work done! Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes, good amount of outlets throughout! * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, fast * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Not too loud * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Abundance of seats, and different types of seats too! I sat at the seats by the window but I saw there was also a communal table. There were some private nook type of rooms but I'm not sure if those were available for customers to use? * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: Will probably be a go-to now for when I'm downtown and need to do work! I'll need to try the matcha that people were raving about next time. read more

First time at Soro Coffee and ordered the Soro latte. It had an interesting color gradient that caught my eye. There's blue syrup on the bottom, espresso + milk, matcha foam, and a piece of dried orange on top. It was an interesting combo that worked and tasted very refreshing on a hot day! Cafe is spacious, clean, and minimalist. I definitely want to come back and try other specialty drinks. read more

In the mood for an espresso tonic, I found myself at Soro Coffee. So glad I stopped in as I found a clean, friendly, spacious place with delicious coffee that did not disappoint. For $6, I got to enjoy some icy, citrus flavored goodness on a warm day. If you're the person who loves to bring your laptop while you caffeinate, this is your place! Lots of tables and open space to work and sip, on a busy corner made to people-watch. I'll definitely be back! Welcome to the neighborhood Soro! read more

Popped in on a Monday morning in the office. This is a perfect location if you work nearby. It is a large space and looks like it would be easy to get some work/studying done here. What really stood out was the service, the man up front was so kind and welcoming. He went through their different signature drinks. I ordered the Yuzu matcha iced with oat milk. Alternative milks are an extra $1 which is pretty standard. The matcha was $9 which felt a bit on the high end and the cup wasn't all too large. However my drink was phenomenal. They put a generous amount of yuzu fruit/rinds into the matcha for flavoring. The worker up front was whisking the matcha in front of you. It wasn't too sweet with the citrus really complimenting that matcha flavor. Although my drink was $10 with tip, I would absolutely come back for the yuzu matcha as a treat yourself drink. read more

Soro Coffee - Yuzu matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This coffee spot is the perfect location to sit down, get a little coffee, relax, and get some work done as there's plenty of seating in half the shop. The matcha latte was definitely the star of the show, not grainy whatsoever and the perfect sweetness. The cold brew with foam was, as expected, less sweet but just as refreshing. I actually prefer this locations cold brew + matcha foam compared to others that I've had because you still get that cold brew taste. The sweetness from the matcha foam doesn't overpower the bevvy at all. The cashiers were all very friendly and welcoming. read more

Honestly? One of the better Matcha latte places in downtown LA. It really depends on where you are, but this is worth the walk. The owners are really nice, and the shop itself is really cleaned, has a nice vibe, and is nicely decorated. The Matcha latte itself itself was delicious, and didn't need anything more. Highly recommend compared to other places. read more

Super cute, modern and spacious interior. A little hard to find because it's on a quieter street in downtown on a corner but worth the journey. It's close to the LA public library. The menu is appetizing and I look forward to trying more items. Tje barista was kind and helpful. I ordered an oatmilk cappuccino and it was delicious. Really great coffee. If you're a bit of a connoisseur (snob) like myself I think you'll enjoy it. read more

Working or studying spot vibes for sure! Huge space, and the corner at the back even complemented with TV, which could function as screen. This made it perfect pick for either solo guest or group. The only downside was certainly parking situation, which you might have expected given it's at downtown. The lady behind the order counter, who's also the barista, was super nice. Really appreciated her for helping me being more decisive when placing my order (lol) as I was initially torn between their Soro Latte and any Matcha drinks. She convinced me to go with the prior as she said it's her favorite. I got it for to-go just because finding parking seemed impossible even after few rounds trying! This drink was simply a beauty with those layers of colors. It featured that matcha espresso combo with matcha cream top and the sweetener was basically the blue syrup at the bottom. I might fancy the coffee to be slightly stronger, but it's overall good! Even the matcha flavor stood out despite just being in the cream. Not sure what the blue syrup made of, but the dose in this cup certainly suited those who fancied anything not overly sweet. read more

Discovered a new local coffee shop on my morning walk. Located on the corner of wilshire and grand is this charming family run coffee shop serving up some really good coffee + matcha. The space is roomy with plenty of seating, which is always a win in this area. I ordered their classic matcha latte w/ oat milk and loved the quality of the matcha they use. I asked for a little simple syrup and it came out perfect and exactly how I like it. A solid 9/10. It was lovely meeting the owners, Jeanie and her husband Rock(I really hope I'm spelling that right). If you're a local or in the area I highly recommend checking them out. A great addition to DTLA. read more

Strong coffee & great ambiance. They have plenty of seating. The exterior is kind of unassuming. I was having lunch nearby with my coworkers. We came here afterwards for some caffeine. Owners and staff were friendly. There is free WiFi so you can get some work done too. I ordered the black sesame cream latte. It wasn't super strong on the black sesame taste but the espresso was good. read more

Soro Coffee is a hidden gem spot. The ambience is calm, subtle, and beautifully minimal -- clean lines, soft tones, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer than you planned. The service is warm and intentional, you can tell everything is prepped by hand with real attention to detail. I grabbed the matcha espresso fusion with oat mik (elite combo). Smooth, balanced, and crafted like they actually care about the cup they're serving. read more

Soro comes creeping up on you like Zoro! Caffeine kicks you so hard like a Burro! With drinks so tasty like a churro! At Disneyland with a caffeinated drink in your hand now what could be the happiest place in all of the land?! But before I continue with this jam let me tell you what hit me like Wham! The Pour Over of the Ethiopian kind had me so wowed up I was on rewind! Next up was the espresso and would I get it again? I guess so if I wanna be high then low! Last was the Soro latte and I gotta say it definitely had me going the right way! The presentation on all the drinks were beautifully arranged and they cane through with the flavors I was hoping for need I say more. This is definitely a coffee score and I couldn't ask for anything more. Service was on point at this joint! That's my take, Peace... read more

This is a really cute coffee shop, very clean and bright. I love all the available seats and there seemed to be a separate seating area away from the counter. I'm not sure if that's available to the public, I assume it is. I got the Soro latte, and it honestly tastes more like a matcha latte then anything. I think the matcha cream overpowered it once you mixed it in, recommended by the barista. I think it's a good drink but I don't think it gave me the caffeine boost that I needed. Cute place, definitely no parking lot or street parking as it's in DTLA. read more

I'd been meaning to try Soro Coffee for a while, and I happened to be in the area for errands to pop in and grab a drink. Inside is large and spacious, and I like the minimalist design. Baristas were friendly and kind, and I ordered a matcha cream top to-go. A little pricey at over $9 for a 12-ounce, but the matcha flavor was strong and overall was a creamy delight. I approve! read more

One of the best coffee shops in DTLA. Please note, this café is fully equipped to accommodate a workspace setup. The spacious interior includes computers, a TV, a printer, and even a separate room that I was told can be reserved. The coffee was delicious and carefully crafted. One note: lattes are unsweetened, so be sure to ask for sweetener if you prefer it that way. read more

My partner and I came to this family owned coffee shop, and are glad we did. The shop is located in a large storefront with lots of natural light. Inside, the shop has a few tables, and counter seating around the exterior and at the end of the service counter. My partner got a matcha latte and I got a matcha espresso fusion. After adding a little extra simple syrup, my partner really enjoyed his latte. The matcha espresso fusion was good, and the matcha and espresso complimented each other nicely. Definitely a drink with a healthy amount of caffeine, but tasty and enjoyable! read more

I popped in here to grab a coffee before starting my drive home. I was with my grandson who also wanted something warm to drink. He asked if he could get a vanilla steamer. The woman behind the counter didn't know what that was (neither did I), but she offered to figure it out. My grandson tried describing what it was, and she was so kind in trying to follow along and make it. I finally saw that they also had hot chocolate, which my grandson loves. He immediately agreed to the hot chocolate. He was shocked at how big it was! He also declared, while we were walking and he was drinking it, that it was the best hot chocolate that he'd ever had! My cortado was also delicious! I wish I lived closer, because between the good drinks and the kindness of the people behind the counter, this might be one of the best coffee shops that I've ever been to. read more

Go here for matcha. Korean place. Would highly recommend with great service. There may be a line. Right in downtown Los Angeles.

Let's start with the endless smiles and pleasant welcome each time! I love the service here. The Soro Latte is beautiful and well-balanced...It is very matcha forward, so be sure that matcha is your thing! I love that I can bring my pup in with me and have plenty of room to knock out emails or work things on my laptop, if I need to. Super convenient and lovely people! Check them out. read more

New coffee/matcha spot in DTLA. I've been trying new matcha places around Koreatown and DTLA. First, you have to find street parking; otherwise, you'll need to pay about $6-8 for parking. The owner greeted me and was very kind. They use ceremonial-grade matcha, and the quality was decent; however, I didn't like the syrup they added because it tasted artificial. The interior was clean, modern, and simple, with plenty of seating space. The matcha price is on the higher side. read more

Okay, I'm obsessed with this new Korean-inspired coffee spot in Downtown LA Everything here is so aesthetic - clean space, ceramic cups, and the kind of calm vibe that makes you want to stay all day. The coffee? Smooth, rich, and beautifully served (love how they pair it with a tiny dessert ). You can tell they put real thought into every detail, it feels like a cafe you'd find in Seoul, but right here in LA! The staff were super sweet and friendly, and the whole experience felt really cozy and intentional. If you're into cute coffee moments, quiet mornings, or just discovering new spots before they blow up - this is it. read more

SORO Coffee is a hidden gem in DTLA! I took a trip downtown with my girls and stopped by SORO Coffee. The coffee quality was incredible! If you love coffee, this is definitely the place to go. Even my picky girls loved the drinks so much they ordered the same ones twice. The lady there even gave them complimentary cookies--what a perfect way to end their winter break! Parking could be tricky but we found a street parking spot by the shop. You can park at the library or Whole Food :) read more

I was in DTLA passing by this new coffee shop and wanted to check out. Seems like they just had a soft opening. They recommended their signature coffee , boy it is the best coffee I've ever had. Basically it is the Matcha coffee with the cream and blue syrup in the bottom but it is so GOOD!! They told me they use the green tea from Japan. The coffee is very creamy and the Matcha does not overpowe the coffee and so soft. The dried orange peel has the little cirtrus kick to the coffee and it makes coffee very special. I will definitely try this again and other drinks that they have. The ambiance is so cozy and clean and the owners look so nice! So excited to find this coffee shop!! read more

Truly a phenomenal coffee and matcha experience. I stumbled on this cafe and I can't believe such an amazing specialty cafe is in dtla! They took such an amazing care brewing pour over and hand whisking the matcha. I've tried so many coffee places around the world and I can say this is one of the best! I was so curious what they were doing so I asked the barista and he was so kind and gentle in explaining his bypass method in his pour overs and the hand whisking of the matcha. Really really amazing coffee and matcha. Can't recommend this place enough! I do think the parking could be tricky here so plan ahead when coming here! Might need to go find street parking or parking garages but it's truly worth it! The space is so big too! read more

Super awesome new place in DTLA! Staff is super friendly and kind. The place has such chill vibes with so many different places to sit - great place to bring laptop for work or just to relax. I came before work feeling stressed, but the energy and calm music in there left me feeling relaxed and happy! I got the Matcha Cream Latte (iced). AMAZING! Perfect sweetness, and super high quality matcha (Coming from a self-proclaimed matcha snob!). They prepare their matcha the traditional way with a matcha whisk, which is cool to watch and makes the texture that much better. I was very impressed, and will be coming back to try their other drinks! read more

SORO is one of those rare coffee shops that feels like a genuine refuge the moment you walk in. The owners are incredibly kind truly the heart of the place. They greet you with warmth every time, remember your preferences, and treat every guest like they're part of the family. That energy alone makes the experience special. The space itself is spotless and peaceful. It's the kind of environment where you can actually breathe, think, and enjoy your drink without noise or clutter pulling you out of the moment. Whether I'm stopping in for a quick cortado or settling in to get work done, it's always calm, clean, and comfortable. 10/10 would highly recommend. read more
