    Outdoor patio

    Stopped by with my toddler on a Wednesday around 10am. There's free street parking available. The shop is small but cute with indoor plants. Thankfully it has a large outdoor patio which is shaded. This coffee shop has a simple, standard menu without any signature drinks. The barista was prompt and cordial, the iced honey lavender latte was decent. I just wish it opened a little earlier on the weekends.

The exterior is also bare, with minimal signage -- almost as if they want to gatekeep and keep it lowkey. Inside, the space is still pretty minimalistic with a hint of pretentiousness. There are onyx black floors, white walls with touches of pastel blue, and five thin pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling to brighten the room. A large coffee bar sits in the center, with a few stools surrounding it for seating. The menu matches its interior -- no frills, just espresso basics and pour over coffee. They provide no sugar or sweeteners, and there are no specialty lattes in sight. I ordered a CAPPUCCINO (5.50), which was well-balanced with bright, fruity notes from the espresso. It's definitely one of the best ones I've had. They don't roast their own beans, but they source from well-known domestic roasters (ilse) and international roasters (Coffee Collective), which are also available for purchase. The service wasn't the most friendly, definitely a bit more aloof, but they clearly value craft and take coffee seriously, which matters more to me.

    This experience was very fun for me. The atmosphere was unique. The coffee was good. And the…read morebarista was like a ninja assassinating my coffee and service me its head in a tiny cup. If you need high quality coffee in Chinatown, this is the spot to go.

It was really interesting that one of the Americanos was made with Ecuador Los 4 Mundos beans, and the other was made with Colombia El Diviso. When a staff member brought over my hot Vanilla Latte, I asked to make sure it was decaf. He took it back just to double-check for me, and then confirmed that it was indeed decaf. The coffee here is all delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly, which I really liked. However, the chairs were quite uncomfortable to sit in, and the Vanilla Latte was still pretty sweet even though I ordered it "less sweet." Still, the coffee tastes so good and the staff are so incredibly kind, so it's a really great coffee shop. P.S. A funny thing: They had dog treats in a jar. I immediately thought of my boss's absolutely super, incredibly cute dogs, so I asked for an empty cup and packed some treats to bring to the office for them today. But when I finished my coffee and was heading out, I totally forgot and accidentally threw the cup of treats away along with the empty coffee cups. OMG. (But seriously, all dogs and cats always absolutely love me. Hahaha. When I get to work, my boss's dogs come over wagging their tails and greeting me so excitedly--they are just so, so adorable. And as for cats, there's a stray that I've been feeding every single morning on my way to work for over 4-5 years now. She currently lives at the Buddhist temple I attend. Every day when I go, she follows me around everywhere. She absolutely loves it when I scratch her back with a brush, and when I'm done and try to leave, she taps my foot to tell me to scratch more! It's just so totally cute and lovable. It's a completely white cat, and so incredibly pretty.)

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!
