    Welcome to Endorffeine.
    Carl N.

    Drinking coffee is the next best thing that ever happened to me. lol. Let's begin. Endorffeine is a tiny coffee bar on Broadway in Chinatown, LA. They're located within an old plaza. It's dim lit, minimalist design and bare layout gray walls that makes you think you're in a wet chemistry lab. The menu is quite short with 5 hot and 3 iced drinks. No pastries. However, they sell merch and coffee bags. Moreover, sugar/sweeteners are not available in case you're wondering. This coffee shop has got me curious for months now but never had a chance until today. Alas I arrived on a cool weekday. I had a hot Cortado ($5.5) with oat milk. It was robust enough to get jolted. Service was absolutely spot on. Atmosphere was chill, very dim lit and quiet for a coffee bar. They prohibit laptops, kissing, sound on cellphones and outside drinks. Yes, Kissing!! Parking ain't a problem in the area. Staff were incredible. Overall, this is a nice coffee bar with solid coffee.

    For anyone who is on a serious coffee journey, this is the Super Bowl of coffee experiences. Jack is a biochemist who meticulously brews every cup. You go here for pour overs or espressos. Think of Jiro for sushi, that is Jack for coffee. You feel like you are transported to Japan, and the ambience is more like a temple or a shrine. There isn't a lot of noise, despite being across from howling ray's, no music, no laptops or plush seating. You are there to experience coffee taken to a level that's previously unknown, to unlock the secrets of the molecule that only a few shamans have been privy. That you need to be patient is a given. This is not a place for large groups. There's counter seating around Jack, as he extracts the flavors from the bean du jour. While his cousin manages the till. You wait patiently and then take your time to savor the heavenly brew, taking time to let your nose pick the sweet, the acidity, the soul of the bean. The taste profile changes to the sublime as you get closer to room temperature. Jack is meticulous, I hesitate to use the word perfectionist as he may not agree. He may toss out a cup that isn't up to his exalted mark. You are witnessing an artisan at work, who won't compromise. I have a soft spot for the pour over, however even the espresso is a masterclass in high pressure bean extraction. Last time we spoke, Jack mentioned a possible collaboration with Diego Bermudez, my absolute favorite roaster, who have a heavenly lychee forward Colombian light roast. That would be the dream, mad hacker Diego's beans, and rocket scientist Jack's extraction. There's great coffee shops in LA from Kumquat to Maru, Dayglow to the Boy and the Bear, Good Boy Bob to Loquat, but there's only one Endorffeine. This will never be a chain, or run by employees. If I could, I'd be here everyday, but a trip to coffee heaven is a special treat I look forward to. Tip: Park across the street a few blocks south for relatively low cost metered parking options.

    I've tried at least 50 shops in the states. Hands down this is the BEST. All the hype is real. If you've been trying espresso for a long time you'll notice all the nuances that makes this place goated. I'll be back every time I'm in LA now. If you like medium roast burnt coffee you're better of at mid shops that offer that!

    A small, cute, very hidden cafe with amazingly great coffee. I visited on a weekday morning. The place was extremely quiet but full of coffee lovers. I'm not an expert but you definitely see the effort put into the coffee brewing methods. A lovely quiet space to have great coffee and relax (not working)

    To note the positives... the staff are friendly and inviting. I also appreciate the minimal look and coffee station and paper to go cup. As for the coffee... I have never felt so gaslit in my life. All the research on this business said it was an experience and focused on quality. I can only speak for the iced latte. It tasted like an americano and not in a good way. It was very thin and watery. I was very disappointed, especially since I am from out of town and drove from my hotel in San Gabriel to try it. I feel like the scientist coffee lab description has gotta be a gimmick and social experiment to test if people will come and hype something up because they think they're supposed to.

    Endorffeine is quietly located directly across from the chicken restaurant. There's a small outdoor seating area and a bar as well. The menu is limited but they do what's offered quite well. If you're into sweet drinks however this is not the place for you, they have a no sugar policy. I enjoyed my sugarless iced latte nevertheless. It was reasonably priced at around $6.50, the going rate for a latte in LA nowadays. 5/5 I would return but I probably wouldn't go out of my way.

    Owner is very precise with his art of making coffee. He has some fancy built in equipments. I noticed that he discards the Excess steamed milk, Also He physically Bends down to watch the coffee drip down from espresso machine, for every brew, not sure why. I don't know much about coffees but I know my Cortado was really good, very smooth.

    I think this is one of the best iced lattes I've ever had!! I typically like my coffee sweetened or with a flavor, but this shop doesn't add any sugar or sweeteners to any of their drinks. So, I ordered a shaken iced latte with oat milk. It was strong, but smooth. It was so good! I highly recommend this to any coffee lovers.

    My coffee understanding and palate are pretty basic. That said, I love this place. This is not a cafe for folks who love *$ , which I'm guessing folks would realize on the approach even if they haven't checked out reviews. I would be bummed if I ended up here without getting a seat inside, because part of the experience for me is getting to step out of the chaos and really savor my drink. The juxtaposition of the minimalist vibes inside and the consumeristic insanity across the way is pretty hilarious. I'll take a quiet, quality, cortado in decadent air conditioning any day of the week over whatever is happening out there. To each their own, but if your own is the former, check this place out.

    We don't provide sugar or sweeteners!

    One of the best specialty coffee in town, maybe the best of LA style! Was referred by another barista as we were both for the light/washed beans. The place runs Mon-Thur inside an indoor plaza in old Chinatown. Barista and owner Jack stood firmly for the spirit of independent coffee shop. 'We don't provide sugar and sweeteners' what a bold statement! The pick for beans went top, the operation ran stable, the quality was high and the whole process flowed in a way well designed and professionally executed. As a real coffee goer, you could always trust his taste! The atmosphere was quite minimalist. The personality presented inward. Frequent visitors would make self explanatory talks of how they got into coffee and passionate about this place. I threw a dozen of questions and the owner was very knowledgeable of coffee makings and selections, probably an INTJ? Just hope he could share more info next time!

    I asked, "how did you end up choosing coffee as your passion?" And he replied, "I wouldn't call it a passion, it's more of an obsession." I told him it's the best coffee drink I've ever had, and he said that "it's not perfect yet, I'm still chasing the perfection." Can't wait to keep coming back to be able to drink his "perfect" drink.

    Great homey and authentic coffee. I liked how they have cans to go and I love how you can see them make the coffee in front of you. I would come back.

    Tasted like watered down coffee with a hint of pandan. Hard pass for me
    Vu N.

    Not a fan of. First off they don't say hi. Don't smile. Not welcoming at all. Vanilla pandan out of the can tasted like watered down coffee with a hint of pandan. Tasted horrible. Thai tea one wasn't much better. So many better options with friendlier service out there

    Excellent coffee, amongst the best that LA has to offer. Tucked into a large multipurpose building with limited hours.

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!
