Terrific Americano firstly Delightful spot with genuinely great vibes the second you walk in. The interior feels warm and inviting, and the display of sandos was seriously tempting. They even had the Olympics playing on a projector, which was super rad and gave the whole place a fun, communal energy. It's the kind of detail that makes you want to hang out a little longer. Staff was nice and kept everything feeling easy and welcoming. would def return to try some of the food read more

If you're familiar with downtown Los Angeles, you'll understand when I say that street parking around ILCAFFE is a challenge. There are plenty private and paid parking lots in the vicinity, though. I'm grateful that they open early. They have plenty of indoor seating. They have a great looking selection of pastries in a glass case. There is a large projector screen where they show videos. I was expecting a bracingly bitter taste when I first took a sip of my CORTADO, but I was surprised by how smooth and creamy it was. The cashier was patient. The barista is great. read more

The tuna sandwich was pretty solid taste-wise. For $17, I was kind of hoping for a bit more tuna but not the worst given how expensive everything is nowadays. There's a $12/day parking garage around the corner so if you're looking to work from here, also not bad given DTLA prices. It's kind of small so be wary if you have a large car. Service was pretty quick, seems like the staff is constantly working on something. read more

I got a cold brew and it was really good compared to other locations. The Capicola and Fig sandwich was really good and a lot better than expected. The sandwiches are a bit pricey but they taste better than some sandwiches places in LA. There's a lot of seating areas inside and outside. The staff was really nice and fast when making your order. read more

Great matcha! I love that they use unsweetened traditional Matcha powder, and they even use a homemade syrup just out of honey and hot water. One of the only cafés in downtown where you can actually get a Matcha that is naturally sweetened with honey. It comes in a 16 ounce cup so if you really like the taste of a deeper flavor of Matcha, just ask them to put less milk and only fill the cup up halfway or add an extra shot of Matcha. read more

My husband and I wandered into this charming cafe in DTLA before heading across the street to the Orpheum for some music . Dorian was an attentive and personable host; asking about the show we were heading to, and she made me perhaps the best handmade mocha I have ever had in my life! While I was delighted with my coffee beverage my husband was equally delighted with his Peroni beer. We had eaten beforehand otherwise we would have tried the food. The pot pies looked AMAZING! There will most definitely be a next time If you're in the area put this spot on your list read more

The people who work here are so rude. Sour faces and seem like they hate their jobs. Don't even look up at you when you order and scoffed loudly at 20% tip like it wasn't enough. It was clear they just want you out of there unless they know you. Sad experience. Highly recommend supporting a number of the other local shops that make you feel welcomed. read more

I absolutely love the touch this café brings to everystreet corner it populates. The selections of wine and pastries are absolutely wonderful for my apartment to sit outside on the street and enjoy the shade in the afternoon. I had a double shot with heavy whipping cream steamed to give that thick rich flavor they threw a sugar in the row over the top the flavor of the coffee and wonderful bowl to it and the aftertaste was wonderful. This is definitely the perfect place to come in and start , or finish your day with the glass of wine and a lovely pastry whatever it is you'll find yourself, relaxed and satisfied read more

ilcaffe - Sitting outside, smack in the middle of DTLA - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This spot has been here for ages! Haven't gone in a while but I love what they turned into. It's a mixture of coffee/tea, sandwiches, wine bar and they now also have Charcuterie to pair with all the wines now too! You got everything you need! Truly such a gorgeous spot be it modern industrial inside or outside with side walk and street seating perfect for people watching or just simply admiring the elegant surrounding architecture! I picked up a Prosecco because it was in a reusable bottle! I was a sucker for that, as I thought it would make a nice serving water bottle lol. They have lots of drink variety aside from coffee or tea! I really like their bottled Auga Frescas series! Comes in Jamaica, Watermelon, & Cucumber flavors. It also seems they have a variety of organic and skin contact wines now too! I haven't tried them yet as my home bar is so filled but will def keep them in mind(: Staff is also super nice and swift with all orders. If you do end up ordering one of their many delicious sandwiches be sure to know it will take a bit to cook as they like to make it panini style. End result is a super crispy and melty sandwich. My go to spot in dtla be it a light eat or drink! Dirty spiced chai is my go to latte and the chai here ACTUALLY has spice and isn't flat. read more

Such a good location and there's always interesting people coming here. Great place to network, play chess, get coffee. I just wish they would turn the music down inside, at least in the morning!! It's 8am why are we blasting music like a club!? read more

Street parking can be rough but decent amount of paid parking. Decent amount of seating especially on the patio. When you think there aren't enough chairs for the tables, the owner surprises you with even more chairs. Cafe has a very industrial feel, but not a cold industrial feel. The live music was a plus and brought the everything together giving it a warm and cozy feel. Staff and owner were super welcoming and made you feel at home. Whole location has such a New York vibe (minus the attitude) to it that we had plenty of people asking if we flew to New York for a quick vacation. Service was very fast and I appreciate them checking in on us after noticing we didn't receive our food for a while. After realizing the error they fixed it quickly and even made sure we still got the quickly sold out items on their menu so props to them for making it one of the best dining experiences. Food portion of the review will be tough because this was only a 1 day collaboration but I hope they make it a more permanent thing or even better just add the dishes to their menu. Our favorite dish was the XXX. Everything about this dish just worked and was very balanced. The crostini was perfectly toasted giving it the right amount of crunch but light enough to still absorb all the goodness of the sauce/oil. The Pâté was rich and creamy but wasn't too overpowering. The white truffle oil was a definite plus and really liked that the taste was there but it didn't over power the dish. Our least liked dish, though it was still delicious, was the basque cheesecake. The only reason why this wasn't our favorite when it normally is...the salted caramel. We were just too excited when seeing they had basque cheesecake on the menu and are addicts for "plain" basque cheesecake. Wish I had spent some time to speak with the barista about their coffee beans. Really enjoyed the taste of their coffee. Whatever they used for the latte it had a nice nutty-ness to it which I feel is pretty unique. Will definitely be back for the coffee though. read more

Not all baristas are made equal! The wine expert just made my pay latte! Wow! I never seen him hit the machine before today! All the baristas here are quite good though! Still too many dang dogs doing what they do! For me to fully enjoy this place! But I have my items! Wine and coffee here are the best!!! The wines are curated so well! Things I know, but wine makers I don't! All appreciated, because seemingly they have all Organic, naturally grown grapes etc, wines! For a great price! Still winning! read more

I don't know if it's just me or what but this is some of, if not the best coffee I've ever had. I first tried their latte a few days ago and have had it everyday since and it's so good everytime. Service is cool and so is the ambiance, I love the tables outside it's a warm vibe all around. read more

This modern feeling cafe is a great place to grab a cup of coffee, but not ideal for staying for a long period of time. I got a hot, almond milk latte and it had a nice, strong flavor with a smooth creaminess. Really enjoyed this drink for a pick me up on a cold LA afternoon! The inside of the cafe has an industrial feel, with a dark metallic aesthetic and tall barstool seating. There is free wifi available with the password on the menu board, but the loud volume of the music makes it a bit difficult to either focus on work or hear your friend if you hangout inside. There is also plenty of seating outside of the cafe, which is a great option. One downside is that the seating is directly on the street itself, without really any blockades, so busy LA traffic quickly whizzes on by when you're sitting out there. Overall, a pretty good place to check out! read more

First time I came the dude who had no customers forgot to put in my order and only did after I asked about it. Came a second time cause I work close by... just paid $9 for an iced americano and cookie... The iced americano was premade? He took my payment then went to a container and one second later I had my drink. I thought it was for someone else at first cause it was one second later. It tastes like water. The cookie is absolute trash. Two tries was the last... enough coffee spots around to not have to come back. read more

Got a iced latte. Quick service. The ratio of espresso to milk was perfect. They has tasty looking sandwiches filled with mozzarella and pastries. They also has high protein chia pudding.

The best iced mocha I have ever had around DTLA! However, I am only giving 3 stars and it is mainly because of the service. Parking: Street parking only unless you find a parking garage nearby. Easily accessible if you decide to walk to the location. Service: Worst service ever. This place really needs to improve on their customer service... My boyfriend and I come in for our first time, and no one greeted us at all. Okay that's fine, whatever. We wait in line to order and the guy taking our order looks so impatient like we were inconveniencing him. He made our drinks and then charged us, but it honestly felt like he was mad the entire time we were there... The staff is not friendly in general... The fact that this was our first time and we didn't have a good first impression is telling. Drinks: My boyfriend and I both ordered iced mochas but he gets his with whole milk and I get mine with oat. I will say the mocha here is really good and probably one of the best ones I have had ever. The chocolate is overpowering and it is strong but not overly strong. Really liked the iced mocha, some of their paninis looked really good too. Environment: Not much seating inside but there is a ton of tables outside. Overall, really good coffee and a lot of their food looks decent. Only downside is the service and how horrible it is... For that reason, I don't like to go here but they do make good coffee so I'm willing to endure the awful service for their drinks. read more

As an Italian, Il Caffé is my go-to place. Their coffee is fantastic, same as their rolled oats and natural wines. Also, every Friday, they bring a pizza truck (Vivace pizza) which is one of the best in town. And the owner, Michael is not only a fantastic host but since he speaks Italian, he makes me feel at home. Grazie a tutti! read more

Today was my first time at this Swedish outpost, and I fell in love the moment I turned the corner and saw it. Hipsters, groups of friends, young parents, guys in Hawaiian shirts were sitting around sleek black tables, sipping their coffees and wines; chatting and laughing and people watching. The ambience was stylish, vibrant, and sophisticated. The neon red sign (emblazoned with "ilcaffe") heralded the entrance of the store, which is located across from the historic Orpheus and in the same building as a beautifully designed residential building. Note: Only outdoor seating is available right now due to covid, but it was nice to take in the sights and sounds of Los Angeles, and the street ilcaffe is on isn't too seedy. Every time I went inside, there was always a swanky young duo ahead of me in line inquiring about the alcoholic options on the menu. The baristas were clearly quite knowledgeable and friendly about the subject -- I thought this was mainly a coffee shop, but I saw many a customer order wines and IPAs as well. I ordered my signature, the cafe breve, which isn't on the menu but they kindly brewed up for me. It was delicious: espresso notes are old school, strong and bold but without unwieldy bitterness. Ilcaffe uses their own beans, which I liked tremendously. My friend and I acquired a table outside and sat down to read / get work done. Despite it being windy, it was just a great place to sit and soak in the vibes. The pasta sisters truck right outside was a nice touch -- you don't even have to leave the place for dinner, and it closes at 9PM. Amazing! The main hassle I project is parking in DTLA. We were lucky and got a spot relatively quickly, two blocks down. I will definitely be returning, but thinking of finding parking next time gives me a headache. Can't blame ilcaffe for that though. read more
