    Signature Latte
    Christina P.

    I discovered this spot by accident while leaving Mike's Deli and noticed so many people walking around with their lattes in hand. That's usually a sign you've found a local favorite, and it definitely was. The vibe felt instantly trendy, welcoming, and like one of those places people know about. I walked right up to the counter and placed my order, but honestly, choosing was the hardest part because every drink looked amazing. I finally went with their original latte and added cinnamon (I'm a cinnamon lover), and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly, efficient, and on point. My drink came out quickly, was perfectly made, and incredibly refreshing. Smooth, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when trying a new coffee spot. This is the kind of place you stop by once and immediately know you'll be back. A must-try local gem for any latte lover.

    Visiting for the LA Times Festival of Books and needed a solid coffee stop in Little Tokyo. This place delivered! Clean, bright, and just the right amount of cozy. It is on the smaller side, but it works. There is also a cute merch wall if you are feeling a little extra loyal. Staff were friendly and welcoming, (we love a no-attitude coffee shop). Ordered the signature latte with condensed milk and espresso foam over iced milk. It was smooth, slightly sweet, and very easy to drink. Also got the everything breakfast sandwich. It is filling without being too heavy, and I appreciated the hashbrown oun the side. Only thing to note is limited seating, so maybe not ideal for big groups. Perfect for a quick stop or casual catch up. Would come back again next time I am in the area!

    Came here to try the coveted brownie latte but it has since been discontinued. I opted for their signature latter with cream top and it did not disappoint. The customer service was on point too! With the discontinuation of the specialty latte the barista gifted me two desserts to try. Both were delicious but the chocolate one stole the show! I definitely will be back to try more items!

    I came in on a Sunday morning and they were busy but outstandingly friendly. I ordered the TLS latte with almond milk (they also have oat milk) and waited off to the side. They had a great visual menu and fun posters on the walls. If you go to the back near the restrooms, you can peruse some merch that's for sale. They use the Clover system for payment and points, in case you're a frequent visitor and wondering how to be rewarded for your loyalty. My latte came out in a very reasonable amount of time and tasted great. I look forward to coming back when I'm back in the area.

    Such a cute little latte shop in LA! The vibe is spunky and modern all together and I really appreciated that they actually have some seating available perfect for chit chat time they offer gluten-free options for food and they also have breakfast sandwiches available. I saw other customers indulging. I ordered the double mocha latte and wow... it was good. Rich, chocolatey, and not overly sweet. The chocolate cream on top was so sweet and it when did so good with my latte They also have a few cute things for sale inside, it seems like they are promoting a lot of healthy choices which makes the place even more fun to browse while you're waiting for your drink. Overall, great coffee, great atmosphere, and definitely a spot I'd come back to again. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    The Latte Shop is becoming one of my favorite coffee spots in Little Tokyo. My go to order is their TLS latte. They different milk options. But one of their options is a rice milk which is different than the other coffee places in the area. Their service is great and quick. They have a few tables and chairs if you want to chill there. But due to their location, most people just order, pick up, and go.

    Love this spot! Their drinks are always delicious and I've had such great, friendly experiences with the staff. The place is a bit small, so it's not a place to come bring your laptop but a perfect little vibey location for a coffee and a chat.

    I'm glad that this place got improved. I've been here once a long time ago and I hadn't come back until today. We ordered a cappuccino, yuzu matcha tonic, chocolate croissant and egg & cheese breakfast sandwich. Cappuccino was nice . Yuzu matcha tonic was so refreshing and not overly sweet. Chocolate croissant was good. You can get it heated which is much better. The Breakfast sandwich was very delicious. The egg cooked well and fluffy. It's made fresh to order....like in a frying pan. Comes with a hash brown cake that is exceptionally crispy and good. Service was good! The girl who works there is super good....she was making everything. There was a guy taking orders but he seemed new and slow. But he was nice. Inside there are 2 tables, one long low bench and a couple barstools by the counter. Outside also has a couple of chairs and stool tables. I will be back!

    Good coffee starts with me. It's time to get this new review. The Latte Shop is a cozy small café nestled in the heart of Los Angeles' Little Tokyo district. Known for its freshly brewed coffee and espresso drinks, the shop has a modest selection of breakfast and pastries for customers. Their interior space is very small that it only has two tables and a tiny coffee bar; no outdoor seats. Atmosphere relaxing with good vibes. A male barista was cordial and professional. I came to grab a hot Lavender Latte. And it was okay but I had better. Chocolate Croissant was just decent. Furthermore, their cups were OG standard a plain white with no design not even a logo of Latte Shop. Not even a coffee sleeves. Let's move on. lol. Prices were fair and matched the quality of drinks/pastry. Parking was ghastly!! I was very lucky to find an free metered parking spot otherwise it's a carousel. Overall, it's just a decent coffee shop that provide a decent drinks.

    Fun little brekky spot in Little Tokyo! Place is super cute inside and has nice customer service as well as great customers. Was super hungry so grabbed the Everything Breakfast Sandwich and was sooo happy I did! Fluffiest of eggs with sausage, bacon, cheddar and aioli in between thin toasted bread with a hash brown really hit the spot! I will definitely look out for that place next time I'm around.

    I love this place for my afternoon pick me up! The space is clean and welcoming. The vibe is mellow even though it's on a busy street. The barista is friendly and helpful. My favorite is their signature TLS with oat milk. Also, try the chai or green tea TLS.

    Stopped by before heading to the Dodger parade yesterday. Great vibes in here! A little small but space to sit, some items from other vendors on display, and of course a coffee counter and kitchen inside. I got an iced double mocha which was a mocha with chocolate cold foam. It was good. I prefer my coffee on the sweeter side and this kind of walked the line. I also got two hash browns. Their food smelled good and was a decent price. My drink was $7 even with oat milk (oat milk drinkers know it can cost an arm and a leg for alternative milk). Would go back!

The latte is infused with maple-flavored milk and finished with cinnamon, and the combination is absolutely delightful -- ice cold and bursting with flavor from the first sip to the very last. What really sets Tilt apart, though, is the staff. They go above and beyond for every customer, and you can genuinely feel the care they pour into their craft and their service.

Seating is limited, though they do offer a few outdoor tables and a bench inside while you wait for your drinks. The service was great. The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop.

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!

It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.
