Black sesame cream cold brew
Halley K.

Needed a caffeine pick me up after an event downtown and stumbled upon this great space! The barista was so friendly and patient offering great recommendations. I ordered a cold brew with black sesame cream top and it was amazing! The black sesame flavor really came through and wasn't overly sweet. The cold brew was also delicious with a strong flavor. Inside has plenty of seating and could be a great option for a coffee shop work day. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Really good matcha. You can tell it is great quality. Service is good, they're very kind. also, it is a nice looking shop. Great place to work.

I stopped by this cafe recently on my way downtown and was very surprised at the cleanliness and the service. The service is exceptional, the employees and baristas are super nice and knowledgeable. I tried the black sesame latte and it was sooooo good. Not sweet, very foamy and tasty, would definitely come again for that latte. If you're in the area and looking for a quiet place to study or wfh, this is the place. A++ recommend.

What a truly wonderful coffee shop in the middle of DTLA. The pictures taken here are stunning and they don't do justice to the space of this location. Parking sucks cause it's downtown but if you get past that, this is a top 3 coffee spot in Los Angeles. The coffee served, Idle Hands Colombia, was exceptional. Being honest was probably the best cup of coffee I've this year. Wished it came in a larger size, and I'm rarely in this area for coffee but will definitely need to come back to try other items on the menu. One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've written this year.

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.

The counter... nice and clean!

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!

Yuzu matcha latte
Miranda M.

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.

Cold brew w matcha foam + matcha latte
Alvin H.

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.

Soro Latte
Jessica G.

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.

Ceremonial grade matcha
Justin A.

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.

Matcha Espresso Fusion (Oatmilk)
Tyler S.

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.

Soro Latte

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.

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.

What an absolute treat in the Japan Town area! Not too far from the center, just a short walk away…read moreis Kokoro No Coffee- a pop-up coffee shop at Aloha Cafe. I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves! There is truly nothing like a great business ran by a great person and you can tell there's so much intention put into this concept. Highly, highly recommend and I could not sing praises more!

Got there at 9am and ordered drinks. Friendly service and delicious coffee beans. Great pop up…read morespot to support located at Aloha Cafe in little Tokyo! I could see some outdoor sitting option to wait or enjoy coffee being helpful, yet currently it is only take out with paper and plastic cups available.

It was pretty busy for late afternoon but I took it as a good sign. My sister has been a bunch of times before and really wanted me to try their cream top but I don't drink coffee and they apparently stopped allowing modifications to their drinks so you can no longer add the cream top to the matcha latte. She got the cream top coffee and I got the matcha latte so I could sip the top of hers and drink mine and it was honestly so so good. I have no idea how they make their cream top but it's unlike any other I've tried. The matcha itself was also very smooth and great quality. Both drinks came out to just $13.50 total, which is amazing. Would come again!

I get the Japandi minimalist design aesthetic but a lot of people would love to just sit down and drink their spendy beverage and there's just not enough seats for all the customers. I would suggest adding more benches along the North wall which is an entirely usable space as well as adding another counter along the window with barstools. For this, I have to give the ambiance 2 stars. I'd still come back for the exceptional matcha latte though!

Archives of Us has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots lately…read more Tried the banana tiramisu cream latte and it really stood out , strong coffee flavor with a slight bitterness at the end, so it's not overly sweet. I asked for the cream to be cut in half, which made it feel more balanced. Definitely one of the better tiramisu style drinks I've had. Also got the banana cream matcha, which leans a bit sweeter because of the banana cream, but surprisingly works well. The matcha itself is smooth and consistent, and you can adjust the sweetness, which I always appreciate. The space is clean and spacious, great for hanging out or getting some work done. Parking is easy with a garage downstairs (they offer validation, about 30 minutes free), which is a plus for DTLA. Overall, a solid spot with well executed drinks , I'd come back.

Parking can be validated if you park in their parking garage on the opposite end of their building, not the one across the street (we didn't know which one until the worker told us) You take an elevator upstairs and the first thing that stood out to me was the aroma and the interior. It was really high end and looked very sleek. It looked really sleep and it was nice and cool inside as well. Their decor was minimalistic which I liked and it made the space look bigger. Multiple seating indoor and outdoor! My friend and I ordered 2 matcha einspanner's and their spicy miso carbonara. We got our drinks pretty quick but had to go up to ask about our food which was sitting at the counter but we could of easily missed hearing our name being called. The matcha was the perfect sweetness to me so I give it a high rating and the Carbonara was nice and creamy and included bacon bits but I didn't really taste any spice. The workers were really nice and sweet and helpful as well! I would definitely love to come back to one day do some work and enjoy a good matcha Parking: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Drinks: 9/10 Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Workspace: 10/10
