Very cute seating area, colorful and clean. The owner was very friendly and got our crepes made super quickly, while balancing other people in line. The crepes were also delicious, such great quality. We got one sweet one, caramel and strawberry, and one savory one, turkey cheese and pesto. I recommend! Great price too read more

I work at The BLOC in DTLA and I found this little gem... let me tell you.... first the owner is super nice. Everytime I go I am always greeted warmly.. Then... I order my favorite.. Pistachio Latte and pistachio croissant.. she warms up the croissant and woooow... mind blown... I am severely addicted.. there is a coffee chain below but nope... prefer to give my money to small businesses... Her establishment is small but so cute!! She also sells Crepes, sweet and umm.. what do you call it? Salty LOL not sure but you can oder it with ham and eggs etc etc... I definitely recommend you give this little place a try... you won't regret it and... you'll put your money towards something great!!! read more

A cute little cafe tucked into a plaza with a menu that offers plenty of options. The service was very pleasant and welcoming. I didn't get a chance to try the crepes or croissants this time, but my coworker really enjoyed the pistachio latte. I ordered the Nutella latte and was hoping for a stronger Nutella flavor more like a warm cup of rich Nutella goodness. Next time I might ask them to add a bit more. Moroccan coffee options available with different spices. read more

If you love Nutella, this is the spot for you. They have sweet & savory crepes as well as coffee. I have ordered the strawberry banana with Nutella crepe twice this week. It is made with fresh fruit and delicious! I can't wait to try a savory crepe next. Love their to go coffee cups - so fancy! read more

Yesterday, I stopped by the bloc for a quick bite to eat. There I saw a crêperie, reminiscent of my time living and teaching English in France. The woman in the front was such a vibe, we conversed in French and I ordered the Chicago crêpe, it was stuffed with cheese, ham and pepperoni. The service was outstanding, will definitely come back again. read more

This is tiny, lovely spot at the 7th street shops. The sisters who own it are beautiful and chic and make some delicious crepes and coffee. The salmon, dill, cheese crepe is heavenly. Merci beaucoup! read more

I cannot believe I've been sleeping on this gem of a place for almost a year now! This might be my favorite find in Downtown! First off, this crepe was absolutely delicious. I got the DTLA crepe, and it was huge!!!! I loved it! The crepe itself was a perfect thickness to hold all the ingredients. The salmon was great, and the cheese was ooey gooey and crispy at the ends. Absolute perfection! The woman manning the stand was absolutely awesome. She gives off the best vibes (and has the coolest glasses). She made my crepe for me right there! It was fun to watch. She so clearly loves being there, it's infectious. I would support her 10 times over. They have cute little seating out front as well. Which was perfect for a perfect day like today. I will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend this spot! read more

We were looking for dessert after lunch and stumbled upon this place to get some crepes! So glad we did, the crepe was great and so was the cappuccino. The owner, Kawthar, was incredibly kind and runs this cozy cafe herself. Definitely recommend sitting right outside and enjoying the vibes. read more

I wandered to another yet another black-owned eatery to grab lunch real quick and stumbled across this gem of a place that I wanna keep to myself but can't because it's DTLA and not so secret. After starting at the menu blankly for a while and with the help of the owner and few other patrons I ultimately decided on the blood orange iced tea, and the turkey, spinach and cheese crepe. read more

In the middle of downtown Los Angeles, the cafe is run by a very nice lady who took our order and made the coffees in a hurry! The Caramel Macchiato was a bit sweet, next time I will ask for less sugar but the lavender latte was an amazing treat. The espresso quality was high, it was a treat in the downtown area. The spot is cute and small and I recommend it stoping by! read more

I ordered the turkey, spinach, cheese crepe and it was very tasty. I also tried the iced Moroccan spiced latte. The crepe was so tasty, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The latte wasn't far behind but I wish everything would have blended together better. I personally don't like tasting the graininess from the powders. This is located in the bloc and there is a few tables right outside the cafe where you can sit and enjoy if you'd like. Great service! read more

I was in the area Thursday around 1 PM. I needed coffee. The place is very cute. The cashier was very nice. They had a couple of pastries. I got a hot latte and it was pretty good just the right amount of espresso and creamy milk. I would say the price is reasonable for downtown LA. read more

Man what a great little surprise this place was. The turkey cheese pesto panini was fantastic! The coffee was great and the pastries as well! Pricing wasn't too bad and the service great as well. This cafe is located in the bloc shopping center Plaza just a few minutes walk from the metro line on the second floor. The whole place is neat with lots to see and try and plenty of tables and chairs available for a rest. Great visit would absolutely visit again! read more

Truly one of my favorite cafes in LA, a must-visit whenever I'm downtown. Their Moroccan and spiced lattes are exceptional. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming too. The pastries are out of this world, especially the ham and cheese croissant, which is always fresh along with their other pastries. They have an selection overall, and AMZING crepes. Even the small details, like the custom cup I got last time, made my day. Highly recommend stopping by, this place truly stands out as one of the best. They also have outside seating. read more

Stopped by for breakfast crepes and this place did not disappoint. My daughter had the Nutella with strawberry and banana and I had the turkey, pesto and cheese crepe with added mushrooms. The customer service was astounding! We are not local but my daughter says she wants to fly down here the next time she wants crepes so we will definitely need to return soon. Also had the hot chocolate and Moroccan latte. Delish! read more

The experience here was okay. The Nutella coffee didn't really taste like Nutella and the ham and cheese crossaint was fine, but would've been better warm. Cute outdoor cafe though and I'm down to try the other items. The owner was also very nice, she was very patient while waiting for us to order and kept flashing us warm smiles throughout our time there. read more

The Morrocan Spiced Late is amazing! Great service and also amazing Crepes and croissants.

Of course once I stop working downtown this adorable 5 star cafe opens! Would've made this my regular cafe. Bf and I came here for crepes. I'm into the savory stuff so I got the lox crepe. I've had these from a few different places but I think this one was the best! Comes out nice and warm and the little crisp of cheese at the ends is a nice touch. She filled it with tons of salmon and did not skimp which I really appreciated! Price was reasonable at about $10. Will have to come here anytime I get the chance to come downtown again! read more

I love crepes and when I saw that a new crepe spot opened up I knew I had to check it out. The owners are super nice and friendly. They gave us chocolates while we waited for the crepe to be ready. During these COVID times they take all the necessary precautions which is reassuring. I had a banana strawberry Nutella crepe with a hot latte( I asked for an iced latte but they gave me a hot latte, which I was okay with). Both items tasted really good. The banana strawberry Nutella crepe is not on the menu but the woman who helped us said we could add any topping to the once already on the menu and that is what we did. I would like to go back once the pandemic is a little better because I want to be able to enjoy my crepe a little more. It's a really small shop and they only have 3 tables for people to sit and eat. It's a family business which I always like to support. read more

Whether you're on a short break or a long one. The seating outside the terrace here with the views and the crowds passing is so relaxing. The food is fabulous especially the specialty "yummy" crepes. The coffee is a total different story. A couple of tries of their immaculate latte gets you addictive and you'll give up on Starbucks. Whenever you're downtown and in the area for business or pleasure. I truly encourage you to come and visit this little heaven in the corner and support local small business owners. read more

New crepe place in The Bloc. Was in the area and decided to try it out since I love crepes. I had the banana, strawberry and Nutella crepe and it was delicious. They have tables outside their location so you can eat it. They are following covid regulations and require masks and they sanitize their tables after a client sits and leaves. The owners were so nice and friendly and they even provided me with a complimentary chocolate. At first it's a little tricky to find them. They are located on the second floor. read more

Coffee is trash. $7 for oat milk vanilla late. Taste like hot milky water. It's not even sweet. Not sure if she forgot to add the vanilla that was apparently $1 extra. read more

Overall - Awesome small Cafe in The Bloc DTLA Food - I got a Moroccan spiced latte which would equate to a dirty chai latte (with espresso). These are stronger spices than you will get at the chain coffee shops. FYI, only one drink size. Service - the proprietor was very pleasant and made me a great drink which came with a nice story about how this is how the owner drinks it back home with her mom and grandma. Location - ground level at the Bloc in DTLA read more

The jalapeño croissant is amazing.! Better than a bolillo. You can tell they are made from scratch

The owner was so sweet!! I was telling her that I was at Disney World Epcot a couple weeks ago, and visited the Morocco at Epcot, it looked just like the real thing! I was in Marrakesh and Tangier in 2004 and had the best time! It's hard to imagine that I did an entire euro-canary islands-morocco backpacking trip without an iphone!!! OMG. Anyway, the iced chai was really tasty :) Also I LOVE that UCLA health care facility nearby and the Alamo Drafthouse...if I didn't live in West LA The Bloc would totes be my new hang!! read more
