Grilled pork nem Banh mí
Elvira P.

My family has been buying cakes here for 25+ years. Aside from our regular yearly visits, picking up a Vietnamese coffee and a Banh mí has become my post court ritual. Short drive from downtown, it's a cute bakery lined in gold. The service is quick and the food is consistent. The entire family is involved and everyone is super warm and comforting.

tres leches slice & pandan chiffon cake that we chose as part of the sandwich combos
Nicole G.

This was probably one of the best new finds to start off the new year. We will for sure be frequent return customers - the bakery is so clean and aesthetic (with seating both indoors and outdoors), the service is friendly, the food hit the spot, and the value is incredible. $14 will land you a banh mi combo that comes with any drink on their menu + any dessert that's still available in the fridge or behind the glass display. This is seriously the best deal i've found in a while and it's actually so bomb. We enjoyed both the nem and dac biet banh mis, but favored the nem slightly more. Viet coffee was very flavorful so i'd recommend that! Will be trying the green thai tea next time :) Tres leches slice was very moist and soft; but again will be trying new items next visit! Can't wait!!

Chucky cake for my sister

I love this place !! 1/2 places me and my family get our cakes from. The other place is Phoenix bakery in Chinatown. IFYKYK. Anyways...THEIR Bahn Mi sandwiches! Delicious !! They're always so welcoming and polite. I also love how quick they were able to get me a few customs cakes in less than a week when my schedule has gotten crazy and I've had to do things last minute. They're so close to home and have the fluffiest cakes. To die for !

We've been coming here for over 20 years. Recently renovated, and it's better than ever! With a full coffee bar and bakery, including their amazing Vietnamese sandwiches. Everything here is simply amazing. This place is an Echo Park staple, owned by an amazing family!

Nem and Vietnamese Banh Mi
Jason L.

I had a hankering for a banh mi last week but didn't want to drive outside of LA. I also wanted to get coffee in the area but parking was a hassle, which prompted me to order my coffee and sandwich here. I was surprised to say that the Nem Banh Mi and the Vietnamese Banh Mi were both exceptional. The bread was fresh and crunchy, and the vegetables were crisp, not soggy at all. The Nem Banh Mi has got to be my new favorite. I also had the Cafe Sua Latte, which was also really good. There is a private parking lot, but its tiny and compact. I came here on a Friday afternoon, and there were only 2 other cars in the lot. Definitely check this place out for some good sandwiches and coffee! I know I will be back for the desserts they had out in display!

vietnamese sandwich
Lauren A.

Probably the best banh mi I've had in my life I haven't yet visited Vietnam but the sandwiches from here will tide me over till then! The ladies at the front are super sweet and I love that this place is family owned and operated. There's not much inside seating but there's a patio outside with more tables.

Outdoor porch area to dine in.

Moon cakes are expensive but have the quality of supermarkets - sweet and nothing special. The "cloud" cakes are overly sweet.

Hi there I had an issue with a cake I purchase, is there any way I reach a manger not from the bakery phone number?

Unfortunately they can only be reached by phone number.

If I want to buy moon Cake so I need to preordered?

No, however mooncakes are only available August-October (depends on when the lunar harvest day is). During that time, they have hundreds of mooncakes available for purchase.

How far in advance do we need to place an order for a custom birthday cake?

I'd recommend at least a week in advance! It really depends on the complexity of the design.

How much is Banh Chung? TIA

Do you make banh chung for lunar new year?

Yes!

Do they make durian cakes?

Yes they do

Kissaten Corazón has been on my radar of recently opened coffee shops to try in LA. I'd been…read morewanting to visit since end of 2025, but didn't get to visit until June 2026. After only one visit, I'd say it was well worth the 30 minute drive. The aesthetic here is unmatched, and one of my favorite things about this place. It feels a bit like traveling back in time to a different century and country. They played great music while I was here, and they also offer live music on weekend evenings so I'll plan to come back for that in future. Kissaten Corazón is modeled on the kissatens of Japan, in both aesthetic and menu offerings. They have a range of unique drinks, including the matcha coconut and have both coffee and matcha offerings. Service was friendly. The coffeeshop was pretty quiet when I arrived around 9 am, but got busy later in the day. There is wifi available and a bunch of tables that are optimal for doing laptop work, as well as an outdoor seating area. The special drinks that I got this time were the strawberry sesame latte and the coconut matcha. I will say both of them were very sweet and I enjoyed them, but probably wouldn't order them again. Highly recommend paying a visit!

The ambience and vibe of this place is incredible, the lighting, furniture and decorations felt very intentional chosen to make you feel like you're sitting in a vintage jazz bar. The servers were having a good time bantering with each other and eventually took our order. We ordered an egg sando, strawberry sesame latte and a latte, which all came quickly. There are plenty of seating options so we grabbed a small table to the side of the piano. The strawberry sesame latte was pretty good, it was personally too sweet for me after a few sips but you can taste how good the coffee was in it. I would definitely want to come back and try their pour over or non latte drinks. The egg sando was an absolute disappointment. It looked great in photos, but the bread was dry and bland, the egg filling lacked seasoning and flavour. The egg sandos in Japanese combini are far superior than this. We had a good time overall, since the ambience is incredible and it's fun to people watch here.

This really changed my experience from one day to the next. I loved my Einspanner Black the first time, but next time I ordered it, the beans they used were really not for me. They also have a really delicious breakfast burrito that you can order with either bacon or Portuguese sausage (it gives hot dog, but in a good way). It doesn't say on the menu, but it comes as two little burritos instead of one regular size. The tater tots inside give it good crunch. A little bit too much cheese for me, but my friends disagree. My biggest gripe is their wait times for food. Two burritos took 45 minutes, even after asking for updates a couple times. There were others who were there before us waiting for their food too! The burrito IS really good, but maybe not potential-45-minute-wait good.

I usallly go for their matcha latte but lately I've been trying out different drink on the menu. I tried the sweet corn latte today and it is delicious. Only feedback would be more or a corn flavor but then again I adjust the sweetness level to less sweet so that might have messed it up a bit. They just opened up a bigger location within the same area. You just walk through the hall with the lanterns up top and you'll find yourself in the cute little coffee shop. I remember eating this restaurant as a kid and love what it's become. I got the pleasure to talk a little with one of the owners and he's really sweet. Loves what he does, and is really for the community. That's what Chinatown needs. Parking is street parking only so find a meter

Usually I have to tell baristas to dial down the sweetness but damo is always perfectly not that sweet for the "Asian palette" my order is always the hojicha latte even though I've tried everything on the menu. Everything is great which is very rare. Definitely appreciate how consistent they are every visit. The space itself is huge with tons of seating, so it's perfect for hanging out with friends or bringing your laptop and getting some work done. I also love that there are other spots on the block to check out, so you can grab your drink and walk around not too sketchy.

8/4/2026 3 1/2 Stars…read more First time at Damo. MATCHA EINSPANER Very creamy matcha. Matcha flavor is there, but it's not distinct matcha where you can taste the nuances of the matcha flavors. The cream top does make it very creamy and it does mask majority of the matcha flavor. It did taste like a dessert drink. It was enjoyable though. COLD BREW VANILLA Weirdly sour and smoky flavored cold brew. Slight floral flavor too. It was such an odd combination of flavors with the vanilla cold foam. The lingering aftertaste was not good either. It's neither this nor that. Would not recommend! FINANCIERS Their financiers are made by a local bakery called Musk. It seems their financier flavors are changed often, so no same flavors are in rotation. Sausage & Parmesan - The almond cake's vanilla flavor with the sausage and salty parmesan was a unique flavor. The almond cake was nice and spongy. It did take a bit of time to get used to the savory flavors with the almond cake. It's like a breakfast in an unexpected way. Nutella - Buttery almond cake with nutella and roasted hazelnuts. Enjoyed it! I think Nutella fans would like it. Mugwort + Fig - Buttery in the beginning and it ends with a good, medium-strength flavor of mugwort. Fig was garnish on top, so you barely get it. However, I like that they added the sweetness of the figs with the earthy bitter mugwort. Overall, it was uniquely delicious and mugwort was the star. Yuza + Apricot - A tad sweeter than expected due to the outer brush of yuza aka yuzu simple syrup. Loved the chewy apricot on top. It really brought a lovely fruityness to the financier. The yuzu flavor was there alongside the butteryness of the almond cake. All the financiers were done well! Delicious! Recommend trying at least one when you're at this location. Not sure if their financiers are offered at their other locations. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was good. Not terribly friendly, but still answered my questions. Staff were all busy making the drinks. AMBIANCE + SEATS Really large space with rows of tables and chairs. It was strange walking in and seeing various tables and seats to one side and it almost looked like a cafe used as office space. Seeing all the people sitting down on their laptops or talking, as though they're having a casual business meeting there. It was just strange. The tables were mixed wooden tables and chairs. There were long benches too for people waiting for takeout orders. The large space felt so roomy, I get why the tables were all taken. PARKING Street parking is available, yet when I was there in the early afternoon on a Tuesday, it was packed! The only place to park was the paid parking lot right across from Damo. Parking was $5.00. I wouldn't recommend parking elsewhere outside of that street, as it is a sketchy area and lots of homeless encampments around the area. Would I return? Not sure. I like the large, roomy warehouse space with lots of tables to sit in, but the cafe being in a sketchy area gives me hesitation. Not in love with $5.00 parking too. One of my drinks was good, but the other was bad. The only thing I loved was the financiers.

When the word "elevated" gets used to describe menu items, that's a dead giveaway. And yet....that Mascarpone latte is a work of art. Per their website, it's a "Tiramisu inspired drink layered with espresso, mascarpone cheese foam, and muscovado milk." It's just as good as it sounds. And honestly, these days, $8 was a bargain.

First, I tried the Alto Quiel Bajareque Gesha from Panama, and then second the San Carlos Antigua Bourbon from Guatemala. Both ground on a Zerno Z2 and made with the finest pour over equipment and brew water. These beans were roasted to the point of medium roast, and you can no longer taste the terroir, just predominant caramel notes with only the slightest whiff of florality and fruits. I boggles my mind that Loquat would go through the effort of sourcing these single origin lots that could be amazing, then botching the roast. You guys might want to stick with being a great multi roaster (Kumquat) or seriously re-evaluate your roasting program.
