    Bagel with egg cheese and butter, toasted. I devoured the other half sorry
    Katie J.

    I love this place a lot. The guy is fast with great customer service, it's the perfect spot to grab a bagel sandwich before work. And it's one of those heavenly + affordable bagels where it has you questioning how he put so much love into it in the 1 minute it takes him to make it. Love it! :)

    reasonably priced, super tasty, and was two meals for me!! bring cash to avoid credit card fees :)

    Bulgogi plate, sans salad, rice & daikon radish (I inhaled it).

    Ok, I walk past this café every single morning when I take my dog out. I knew it was a small place (mom & pop shops are the best!) but I didn't know it was family owned! Score! I was particularly hangry today and too impatient to order something delivery, so I took my dog downstairs for a quick walk and popped in next door. Honestly--the bulgogi plate is f'n delicious here!! You can tell this is a Korean-family owned cafe--they really put love into their food and presentation. I ate all the rice, daikon (daikon is my favorite.. raaaadish!) and salad first--I'm stuffed!! I also ordered spam musubi as a comfort food for me, and I am too full to eat it! Late night snack, it is! They also make boba tea, which I haven't had a chance to try yet (and which I'm glad for, since the institution of 85 Degrees across the way is closed, perhaps for good ). Finally, they have a slew of American menu items and pastries for the grab and go consumer (brekkie burritos, etc). So happy I finally tried this place, can't wait to try the spicy pork next!

    Since I'm working from home during quarantine time and living in DTLA, I've been trying the places that open only during weekdays that I could never try before. This place is one of them. I always wanted to try but they're closed during weekends. Got a croissant sandwich with egg, bacon and cheese. Also ordered white chocolate latte. They're big, filling, and delicious :) The staff was very friendly too. It's perfect for breakfast or lunch. I'd recommend both of what I had. It's a very tiny place with decent yummy food. And I'd like to support them especially during this time.

    Cafe Dolcini is a small breakfast and lunch spot located in the heart of DTLA. The store is run by a really sweet Korean lady and frequented by many people that work in the nearby offices. The store itself is really small and only have 2 small tables on Grand Avenue to sit. I would say this is more of a grab and go place instead of dine-in sandwich store. The store itself is sandwiched between a printing store (at the corner of Grand x Wilshire) and Shoe Wiz/ Casey's. Great spot if you want to grab a bagel, sandwich, or a ricebox during lunchtime. One of my favorite items to order from Cafe Dolcini is their Curry Rice. Food is comforting and she usually give generous portions. I can easily split my order into two meals. Suggest bringing cash if you want to buy food here because she will charge you a service fee for using credit card. Try coming a few minutes before the peak lunch hours to beat the crowd.

    Everything bagel with turkey, lettuce,avocado & cucumber breakfast sandwich.

    I find this cafe to be outstanding, with quality service everyday. I've been coming here every morning since working DTLA and I can say Chris is very professional and hard working each and every day. By the way there are two Starbucks locations within one mile from this cafe and I still prefer to come here than go to them. Like I mentioned the quality of food and coffee and specially the orange juice is better than it's competitors. Star

    Turkey sandwich on white

    I just inhaled half this sandwich then decided to leave a review lol. I'm obsessed with this cute little cafe right by my building! It gives NY vibes which I absolutely love being from NY :) great service and wonderful food and coffee! Will def be coming here 3+ times a week!

    Spicy pork and rice

    Cafe Dolcini is a super small shop on Grand Ave that you've probably passed a quarter million times to get to the better-known lunch spots in the area, but let me tell you, it is SO worth a visit. I've passed this place all the time walking from the US Bank tower to chipotle and have always just eyed the photos of Korean food they have posted on the windows. But today as I was walking to Chipotle, I stopped and figured why not and.. Why didn't I come visit earlier?!? A sandwich place at half the price of Mendocino Farms and Specialitys?! Delicious Korean food so close to work?! Although they are better known for their sandwiches and croissants, Cafe Dolcini also serves Spicy Pork, Beef Bulgogi, and Jap Chae with a side of rice and its SO worth it. I got the Spicy Pork with rice, allowed her to put some veggies and sriracha on it and then bam, one of the best lunches I've had in a while. A suitable portion size and just the right amount of spice. 10/10 would come back.

    Watermelom juice  ($4.00) & spicy pork with rice  ($6.75)
    Maggie C.

    I came here for the poke stops :) Spicy pork with rice ($6.75): it was not good at all. The pork wasn't chewy and not tasty. Watermelon juice ($4.00): I was disappointed with this watermelon juice. Not good :( QUICK TIP: YOU CAN SIT HERE AND CLICK ON THE POKE STOPS!! 2 stars!! I really wanted to love this place :( Cafe Dolcini is not yummylicious!!

    If your looking for someone who cares about the food they make for you, this is the place! It's fast, delicious, and for sure a place I will make regular stops to. Can't say enough good things. Susy is awesome! Come see her. She'll make your belly happy! Definitely coming back to this place when I'm back in downtown LA. 5/5!

She raved about them having so many wonderful options so I was very curious to try. DRINK There were so many great options I was overwhelmed, but luckily their workers were so happy to help in my selection. I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie. SERVICE Bree was so very helpful. I told her my goals and that I'd just done a workout and she gave me her recommendations...she also told me her favorite a suggest I add ginger to what I was thinking about. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment but also family friendly. There were some people there with their kids enjoying the place. Also this place is dog friendly.

Everyone is always so friendly here. They always seem to be upgrading the interior as well, and it's small but they do have some window seating along with a few outdoor tables. On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.

Super thick and rich, and when you dip the mochi in it OOOOH just the best thing ever. I also love their seasonal Persimmon Milk Latte. The persimmon at the top and bottom are just so refreshing and sweet, I couldn't get enough! We also ordered their egg waffle sando, which is basically an egg sando but in a hardshell waffle. The savory fluffy eggs went well with the harder exterior of the waffle!! I'm excited to come back and try their Injeolmi mochi latte and their Mugwort one too. What an incredible discovery in Ktown!!! The interior is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Perfect for some quiet time to yourself or to catch up casually with a friend.

Pricing was slightly pricey since most drinks cost $7+ Ordered the Injeolmi Mochi Latte ($6.82) with less ice & sugar and oat milk (+$0.75). It consisted of a roasted soybean cream milk with a mochi skewer. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and the hint of roasted soybean. The mochi was amazing! It was so fresh and chewy. It's nice there's also the option to add half shot (+$0.50) or espresso (+$1.00). Got the Black Sesame Mochi Latte ($7.35) with less ice & sugar and oat milk (+$0.75). It consisted of black sesame cream milk with a mochi skewer. This was definitely my favorite! The black sesame tasted so delicious. It wasn't too sweet and it was so creamy and the black sesame tasted amazing! I could tell it was made from real black sesame by the roasted sesame flavor. The mochi was so fresh, chewy, and yummy! Make sure to give the drinks a good stir prior to drinking otherwise the cream top just stays on top! Overall, both drinks were good but my favorite was definitely the Black Sesame Mochi Latte, as well as the incredible mochi!
