    Food and drinks were out of this world!!! Super cute fresh feeling spot. Everything we ordered was so good! We tried the breakfast burritos, LA heatwave bagle and the chicken bowl all were delicious. Fresh and piping hot. We ordered a coffee, smoothie, fresh juice and matcha, again all were so yummy! Highly recommend!

    Super nice staff and dog friendly. Dre's cold brew was the perfect amount of sweetness with vanilla cold foam. Dre's breakfast sando was fresh delicious and hearty loved the aiole sauce and seeded pretzel bun!

    Just walked by and found a cute little coffee spot! The front is unassuming pink neon signage so I thought it was a salon at first! They have some pastries and other breakfast options too. We got some coffee and our order was prepared quick and served tableside. Cute and comfortable indoor area to enjoy your drinks and food.

    The food is phenomenal! The breakfast sandwich is huge and I really loved it, and they have a good matcha. Staff gives out free samples of their specialty lemonade every day, plus there's wifi for getting work done. The interior is beautiful with really tall ceilings.. it's the perfect place to hang out, get work done, have a matcha date, or eat lunch. Easter Egg: their logo emulates an original Banksy painting on the side of the building. I'll surely be using it as my daily office.

    Very Dog Friendly .. Lucy pulls me in to see the girls as they always greet her with treats ! The food is generously proportioned.. definitely can share. The interior I has a tropical vibe. They provide breakfast and lunch , lattes and pastries.

    Pineapple Juice and Cookie Butter Latte

    Walked by this place and had to go in! Such a chill, modern vibe. The service was fast and friendly, and they had sooo much options it was hard to choose. Ended up going with the cookie butter iced latte and my daughter picked pineapple juice. So much seating and perfect to chat, eat, work, etc.

    This place was a really cool vibe! I came here to study with my girlfriend and it was a good time! Outlets are there but just have to find the right spot. We ordered the breakfast burrito and protein waffles in which both were pretty good! I ended up getting the Cold brew with a vanilla cream foam on top. The workers seemed all nice and created a great atmosphere.

    I found this place trying to find something to eat before a concert at the Orpheum. This place is SUPER CUTE! I was greeted immediately as I walked in. The gal at the counter was friendly and patient with me since it was my first time. I told her I was hungry and wanted a filling sandwich. She recommended the Italian. And I chose a Dre's cold brew to wash it down. The sandwich was AMAZING! The cold brew had a vanilla cream top. The cold brew was good but I would have liked go the cream too to have been a little sweeter. Overall it was great! I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area.

    Dre's is such a cute coffee shop and it helps that every server or barista are sooo nice! But I do think $11-$13 for a matcha latte is on the steeper side. I would go back only if I was treating myself that day. It is very spacious so seems great for a coworking space.

    Wow! The bagel was delicious and filling! The coffee was my favorite though it was so creamy and the right amount of sweetness!! Staff were quick and friendly and the ambiance was nice!! It was spacey and looks like a great spot to study at while having a quick coffee and meal.

    Friendly staff alright matcha drinks. Kinda pricey but the staff and vibes are pretty chill! They have a large food menu which is a plus for those who want to grab a bite. Staff was really dog friendly which is a plus and lots of seating for those who want to get some work done.

    While out shopping in downtown LA, we came across this place. The ambience looked fun and inviting. There was a lot of people just hanging out. I loved the iced coffee that I shared with my daughter. I would definitely be back!

    Great place to grab a bite and drinks or do some work. Lots of seating available. Interior is super cute. I ordered a breakfast sandwich. And boy oh boy was that tasty. Comes with a runny egg. Bacon and sauce merrier every bite. It was delicious. Also had a matcha latte. The drink had great matcha flavor. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Burrito the salsa is so good

    My new favorite spot for decadent matcha and hojicha drinks!…read more The cream top on the hojicha einspanner was so creamy and thick, and it was also the perfect level of sweetness. The strawberry matcha einspanner was also yummy and had a great presentation The space is pretty small but there are a few seats available. The line was around 20 minutes long on a Saturday afternoon. Like most spots in ktown, the parking lot is limited and you'll likely need to find street parking, but it is definitely worth the hype!

Service was friendly and staff were helpful when I asked about adding a matcha cream top to the matcha latte. I ordered my matcha less sweet just in case my drink would be too sweet. The drink wasn't sweet at all which I didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing. I wouldn't make any adjustments next time. The matcha was astringent, bitter, and umami. I did taste some slight graininess, but nothing too bad. I think they prepare the matcha as a paste then add it to the top of the milk. I've never seen other places prepare their drinks like this before! Overall, it was a solid drink for an decent price.

    What an absolute treat in the Japan Town area! Not too far from the center, just a short walk away…read moreis Kokoro No Coffee- a pop-up coffee shop at Aloha Cafe. 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! I could see some outdoor sitting option to wait or enjoy coffee being helpful, yet currently it is only take out with paper and plastic cups available.

It was pretty busy for late afternoon but I took it as a good sign. My sister has been a bunch of times before and really wanted me to try their cream top but I don't drink coffee and they apparently stopped allowing modifications to their drinks so you can no longer add the cream top to the matcha latte. She got the cream top coffee and I got the matcha latte so I could sip the top of hers and drink mine and it was honestly so so good. I have no idea how they make their cream top but it's unlike any other I've tried. The matcha itself was also very smooth and great quality. Both drinks came out to just $13.50 total, which is amazing. Would come again!

I get the Japandi minimalist design aesthetic but a lot of people would love to just sit down and drink their spendy beverage and there's just not enough seats for all the customers. I would suggest adding more benches along the North wall which is an entirely usable space as well as adding another counter along the window with barstools. For this, I have to give the ambiance 2 stars. I'd still come back for the exceptional matcha latte though!

(If the inside is full sit outside for a nice breeze, the WiFi still works decently well outside!) I got the orange mint matcha which was both rich and refreshing at the same time - the orange slice was fresh and a nice bite at the end! The seasonal menu also looked good, I hope I can return to try it at a later time. Lots of matcha options for those looking. Pretty big food menu too, which I didn't try this time sadly! Parking in the garage is validated for 30 minutes and then they start charging at the regular rate. They do NOT take tap to pay, as I learned the hard way. Parking is my only complaint about this spot! I loved Archives of Us and I'll be back to try more!
