    A spot that's definitely worth visiting for both the food and drinks. The breakfast burrito was delicious, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. I also loved the way the cold drinks were packaged; it was a thoughtful touch that stood out. The space is beautiful, with a modern interior and plenty of seating. The second floor offers a cozy lounge and office-style workspaces, making it the perfect place to step away from the crowd, get some work done, or meet with a group. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere with great food, drinks, and plenty of room to relax or be productive.

    Cool coffee and tea spot with fast, friendly service! Really liked my matcha, they were able to make it unsweet but have different cold foam options you could add to sweeten it up.

    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!

    Dre's Cold Brew
    Rachel R.

    Such a great addition to Downtown LA! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was warm and welcoming. They were happy to make a quick substitution for my order, which I really appreciated. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the cold brew latte with the foam top, and both were fantastic. The latte was smooth, refreshing, and served in the cutest little cup--such a fun touch. The café itself is bright, thoughtfully designed, and has plenty of space to work, meet with clients, or catch up with friends. It's the kind of place you could easily spend a few hours in. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Blueberry Milk Latte
    Jodi A.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dre's Cafe... and so does my doggo! The drinks are amazing. I don't have a usual because I feel like I try something new each time and sometimes I just come in for a juice. Today though, when we came in they were marketing a new latte that wasn't on the menu yet, a blueberry milk latte. It was uh-mazing. I do have a usual food order which is the salmon lox bagel on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, but I decided to switch it up and got the Dre's Breakfast Sando. Pretzel bun, egg, cheese, and some yummy mustardy sauce. So good. Not only do the food and drinks slap, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They always make my dog feel like a celebrity and give him snacks. This review is well overdue as Dre's has been such a great addition to the neighborhood for at least a year now!

    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.

    Mango matcha
    Adara Y.

    Not a fan of the customer service, who wants to spend $50 on coffee and not even get a hi or anything and then it's like the feeling of asking a question shouldn't be bothering a worker #NO TIP After leaving my review, they did come to check in on my satisfaction with my purchase so that I appreciate and I will add the mango matcha and heat check were good and worth the purchase.

    Another break, another matcha review. This time I found myself in DTLA and this was one of the first shops to pop up. Immediately once you walk in you're greeted with this huge greenery wall with the store's name. It definitely set the whole vibe of store as calming and relaxed. The baristas were nice as well and greeted me upon arrival. I ordered a matcha latte with an ube cream top and it's so delicious!! The matcha is perfectly bitter and the color is beautiful along with the cream top being so colorful and sweet. I didn't need to add any sweeteners because the ube was perfect enough! Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll order something off their food menu as well. Everything smelled and looks so delicious!!

    Pineapple Juice and Cookie Butter Latte
    Cheyenne G.

    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.

    So good I made it all disappear.

I went with their Iced Cloud Cinnamon Foam latte, and it did not disappoint. 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.

Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!

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!
