Kislev A.

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.

Tuna sandwich
Edward C.

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.

Capicola & Fig
Andres T.

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.

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.

Delicious mocha for me and a Peroni for the hubs
Cathy B.

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

Oat milk matcha with honey
Jessica P.

Stopped by ilcaffe for a quick matcha, i usually like tons of sweetener but this was perfect! They have food, wine, good vibes and the owner was so helpful and friendly! Definitely coming back

Caprese
Tommy C.

Really nice cafe! Got the caprese sandwich and it was so delicious. The bread was perfectly crusty and crispy. Also ordered an iced latte and a matcha both were very good. Staff is friendly too.

Chris Y.

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

Avacado toast is so good,the vibe of the cafe is very chill and relax. pets friendly

Richard T.

This place has a super chill/cool vibe and the coffee, espresso and food are amazing. You sit inside or out front. I loved this place and looked forward to going first thing in the morning. Nice staff, too.

Maria N.

Yummy, great location, fast service, good crowd. Delicious espresso drinks, nice assortment of pastries and snacks.

Avocado Toast Panini
Karla C.

I had an avocado turkey Sandwich it was very delicious. And a mocha I asked for hot it was warm. Taste was good just could have been hotter. Service was okay could have been better they were busy so not very friendly or welcoming. Ambiance is nice they had lots of inside and outdoor sitting.

Joyce T.

Location is a bit catchy, the street is sometimes stinking. Once you get in, the vibe is pretty comfy with coffee and danish smells. I love the apple danish, it's not only pleasant looking and the taste is awesome with the right sweetness. Their coffee is awesome too. Will comeback soon to try other items on the menu.

Lots of interesting choices. The drinks were well balanced and not overly sweet, so you could actually taste the coffee instead of having it covered up by syrups or other flavors. The coffee itself was smooth, with no harsh or overly bitter aftertaste. I also liked that the flavors complemented the coffee rather than overpowering it. Loved the honey lavender matcha and peanut coffee. The drinks were beautifully presented too, so they looked just as good as they tasted. Overall, a really enjoyable coffee experience and definitely a place I'd come back to try more drinks.

And they are so sweet and do not rush anyone, you can stay here as long as you want. My friends and I WFH so we decided to Work From MemoryLook (WFML) one day together. I'm glad we did! Great pastries in the morning, i had the cremme brûlée donut which had tons of filling, and the pea foam matcha latte which was fantastic. And I had an EXCELLENT chicken Chipotle wrap at lunch that was recommended to me by the gentleman working at memory look. I'm not certain where these wraps are made. Another gentleman would bring them from the building in the same complex. I LOVED my wrap. They have a ton of seating outside too but there aren't any outlets out there so it's harder to WFH out there unless you're fully charged. But was great for separate meetings we all had to attend. The photobooth was fun but we were so thrown off by it taking 8 photos, we had no idea how many poses we would have to come up with hahaha. I would definitely come back here anytime!

Parking is also pretty convenient with a good amount of spaces available. When I visited, though, there weren't many desserts on display. For drinks, they don't offer a double matcha option, but you can order a matcha latte with Einspänner cream instead. The drink itself was good, although I found the prices a little higher compared to other matcha spots I've tried. Service was on the slower side, and it took a while for the drinks to come out. The staff were okay, but not particularly friendly. (+) Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, convenient parking (-) Pricier than other matcha spots, slower drink preparation, and no double matcha option

4.5 Yelp Stars *** Stopped by here to pick up coffee before…read morethe long roadtrip home to the Bay Area! This was one of the closer coffee spot with good reviews that I found near the kbbq place (Seogwan by Yellow Cow Kbbq) my family and I ate at for lunch. It was about 0.5miles (3 mins drive). The coffee shop is super large, bright, and has nice background music. There are plenty of seats for people to hang out or study. There are also street parking but can be difficult to cross the street due to cars driving by so quickly without a pedestrian crosswalk on one side. I ordered their signature drink which was the orange espresso tonic with one extra shot for my husband, and the double mango matcha for myself. Both of us really enjoyed the drinks, especially the orange espresso tonic. It was refreshing, clean, and easy to drink. Normally, they include double shots of espresso, which may have tasted stronger for me since my husband wanted three shots, and I usually stick with two shots. The double mango matcha uses fresh fruit syrup so the mango flavor was not too strong and my drink was very creamy due to the signature mango cream on top. Usually, I would enjoy a creamy matcha but it made me more thirsty on a hot day. The service took a bit of time since they had to mix my matcha the legit way with the bamboo whisk. The matcha tasted like premium, ceremonial matcha since it was stronger and authentic in taste. Overall, both drinks were enjoyable but if I had to choose one, I would go with the orange espresso tonic even though I love mango matcha!
