    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is one of the few that last to open near my work. Two of them closed down few months ago and this is my new go to Starbucks. I come with my work vehicle so parking was not an issue. Place was clean inside and out. Employees are attentive and helpful.

    There is a secret parking lot at this Starbucks which allows parking for Starbucks. It's on Broadway towards City Hall about three buildings before Starbucks. Don't try and enter off of Ceasar Chavez, as this is for residents only. Anyway, I feel this is a pretty well established Starbucks, being in Chinatown and known City-wide among the early shift of LAPD. Inside, it seems almost underground, with just a tad of sunlight peaking through. The Baristas are pretty good, and seem to always be aware of the surrounding, as this part of town can be a tad schetchy. I used my personal containerand was able to help the environment one cup at a time. Now that I know the parking situation, I'll be more often...

    This Starbucks is so busy, but the two hour validation that they do for the parking is such a win The staff is always so nice and so welcoming.

    Not a great experience. The barista need to be trained better in following instructions, knowing cup size and be transparent about pricing for customized drinks.

    Fast and easy checkout. My drink was good. The service was good the employees were very friendly. Nice and quiet

    I live above the Starbucks and come down off and on. Today at 9:45 am there was a cashier by the name of Iremar who didn't want to help me. She literally acted busy just so she didn't have to help me . My guess was because I'm a black woman because she made sure she helped the Hispanic man behind me and welcomed him with a smile. The other cashier Radiance was very sweet and professional. I tipped only because of how sweet she was. Iremar needs to work on making everyone who comes in feel accepted and welcomed when spending there money. In this day and age racism shouldn't be accepted in any place of business

    Grande pistachio latte

    I was here on a Sunday morning at about 6:15 am to get some coffee before running the LA Chinatown Firecracker 10k race nearby. Per the usual, I placed my order on their mobile app, this time for a grande pistachio latte. I then went inside and waited at the left end of the coffee shop designated for mobile order pick-up. It was pretty empty inside when I arrived. There was only one other group, so the wait wasn't long. After getting my drink, I found an open spot at the counter along the wall to enjoy my drink. Before leaving to head over to the race, I asked one of the employees for the code to use their restroom. The coffee was good and on par for any Starbucks that I've visited.

    Great vibe, employees are really nice, cafe is really clean. I love the art and the community vibe. I walked here, but there is a few metered parking spots across the street. Best to come by foot or bike. Would come again.

The barista explained that this was a known issue because the lids do not fit properly on the smaller cups, mentioning that management was aware. If this is a known problem, staff should either use an appropriate lid or warn customers before handing them the drink. It has now been a few weeks, and despite my attempts to reach the manager, I have not received a response. I would appreciate an explanation regarding the incident. I also hope this serves as an opportunity to train staff to take ownership of these situations and appropriately address customer concerns, rather than simply attributing the issue to management. As for the coffee itself, the cortado was much more like a latte. I would prefer significantly less milk so that the espresso flavor comes through more. Overall, the experience could have been handled much better.

I ordered the Orange Mint Latte, Matcha Sparkling Lemonade, Einspanner White, Hibiscus Mint Sparkling Lemonade, and of course, a cortado. I also tried their Wagyu Sliders. Every drink was fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how different each one was from the next. It didn't feel like I was ordering variations of the same drink -- each had its own flavor profile, presentation, and unique touch. The Orange Mint Latte was especially interesting, and both sparkling lemonades were refreshing and completely different from what I would normally order. The Einspanner White was another standout. Overall, it was a really fun variety to try at once. The cortado was also very good. It had a nice flavor, smooth texture, and was easy to drink. Their approach is a little different from a traditional cortado presentation because the espresso and milk are fully integrated together rather than finished with latte art. I actually appreciate that style when it's executed well because the focus is more on getting the espresso and milk completely incorporated into one cohesive drink. The presentation across the entire order was also really well done. You can tell there's thought behind how everything is served and put together, which adds to the overall experience. The Wagyu Sliders were great as well. I think the food side of Archives of Us deserves more attention because they have some genuinely good food options to go along with the drinks rather than the food feeling like an afterthought. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor seating area. I love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic -- there are certain details about the design, presentation, and experience that remind me of coffee shops I've visited in Japan. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, Archives of Us has a lot going for it. A beautiful space, great service, thoughtful presentation, a strong variety of drinks, solid coffee, and food worth trying as well. It's especially nice to find a coffee shop where I actually want to explore the menu beyond my usual cortado. Definitely the type of place I could see myself coming back to once a week.

They do not serve cold brew but the Einspanner Black does the charm for me. Their matcha is also good as it is not too sweet nor too bitter. The fan favorite is the Wagyu slider. I personally like the egg salad one more since I am not a meat on meat person but the bacon wagyu slider is better. I would say this place is the better version of Community Goods and does not have as long of a wait. Note - kitchen food is not served until 9:30AM so if you're an early riser or trying to get in and out, you will be out of luck. Parking - the main parking Is the underground structure which could be found on North Broadway. Parking can be quite pricey if you're there longer than an hour.

The cream top does make it very creamy and it does mask majority of the matcha flavor. It did taste like a dessert drink. It was enjoyable though. COLD BREW VANILLA Weirdly sour and smoky flavored cold brew. Slight floral flavor too. It was such an odd combination of flavors with the vanilla cold foam. The lingering aftertaste was not good either. It's neither this nor that. Would not recommend! FINANCIERS Their financiers are made by a local bakery called Musk. It seems their financier flavors are changed often, so no same flavors are in rotation. Sausage & Parmesan - The almond cake's vanilla flavor with the sausage and salty parmesan was a unique flavor. The almond cake was nice and spongy. It did take a bit of time to get used to the savory flavors with the almond cake. It's like a breakfast in an unexpected way. Nutella - Buttery almond cake with nutella and roasted hazelnuts. Enjoyed it! I think Nutella fans would like it. Mugwort + Fig - Buttery in the beginning and it ends with a good, medium-strength flavor of mugwort. Fig was garnish on top, so you barely get it. However, I like that they added the sweetness of the figs with the earthy bitter mugwort. Overall, it was uniquely delicious and mugwort was the star. Yuza + Apricot - A tad sweeter than expected due to the outer brush of yuza aka yuzu simple syrup. Loved the chewy apricot on top. It really brought a lovely fruityness to the financier. The yuzu flavor was there alongside the butteryness of the almond cake. All the financiers were done well! Delicious! Recommend trying at least one when you're at this location. Not sure if their financiers are offered at their other locations. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was good. Not terribly friendly, but still answered my questions. Staff were all busy making the drinks. AMBIANCE + SEATS Really large space with rows of tables and chairs. It was strange walking in and seeing various tables and seats to one side and it almost looked like a cafe used as office space. Seeing all the people sitting down on their laptops or talking, as though they're having a casual business meeting there. It was just strange. The tables were mixed wooden tables and chairs. There were long benches too for people waiting for takeout orders. The large space felt so roomy, I get why the tables were all taken. PARKING Street parking is available, yet when I was there in the early afternoon on a Tuesday, it was packed! The only place to park was the paid parking lot right across from Damo. Parking was $5.00. I wouldn't recommend parking elsewhere outside of that street, as it is a sketchy area and lots of homeless encampments around the area. Would I return? Not sure. I like the large, roomy warehouse space with lots of tables to sit in, but the cafe being in a sketchy area gives me hesitation. Not in love with $5.00 parking too. One of my drinks was good, but the other was bad. The only thing I loved was the financiers.
