Bonus: the bathroom is clean too (always a plus in my book!). For drinks, the lady on staff recommended the Dirty Matcha with cream top, and it was good. My husband got the Tiramisu Cream Latte and thought it was very delicious -- his only wish was that it came in a bigger container. Unfortunately their kitchen doesn't open until 9:30, so we didn't get to try the food. We went with pastries instead: I had the Vanilla Canele (pistachio) -- not too sweet, though I also wished it was bigger. LOL. My husband got the cinnamon roll, which tasted like a Cinnabon but a bit more buttery. Overall a great spot -- just go a little later if you want to try their food menu!

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.

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!

Since we were trying to eat at as many places without feeling food coma'ed out, we ordered 1 Corn Beef Silog. Calamansi Tonic Espresso and Black Mamba. The Corn Beef Silog was really solid, it was also deep fried in a Panko Crusted outer layer which is their take on a Croquette. We particularly like the crunch it adds to the dish. But yeah it was the corn beef has we were looking for mixed with the good 'ol garlic rice and sunny side up egg. The vinegar they used was a lot stronger than I thought and I think they could do without it. The tonic espresso grew on me, upon first sip, I could taste the tonic and I haven't had tonic before so I wasn't feeling it. Until I mixed it and it got a lot better. What was really cute too, is they have pop up vendors and it was a bread and dessert vendor that are right across the counter. What caught my eye was this apron that was a collaboration between Garden and Seeds x Lasita. It had so many pockets and it went from a short apron to a long one with just a zipper. I bought this for the sole purpose of wearing it as an accessory as Tan/Brown pairs well with black and white clothing. Staff was so nice and helpful when ordering and even inquiring about the apron since there was no price on it. Hopefully we'll be back and can catch them during their dinner service!

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

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.

Plenty of noodles and beef to go along with it + all the sides. I would go back again when I'm around. Very filling and comforting bowl of soup!!! The sugarcane juice was so so good. There's a hint of orange in it for added flavor, and it works perfectly. It's a bit expensive at 7 dollars, but it hit the spot. Honestly, I'm not hesitant to spend 7-10 dollars on a cup of coffee, so maybe it wasn't truly that expensive. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming and may not look as fancy and in order as some more new wave places, but the flavors here can't easily be replicated. Easily some of the better pho I've had in LA. Granted, i was really hungry, so that could have factored into the score. Places like this are what i love so much about Chinatown. The atmosphere inside is incredibly welcoming and there was a steady flow of customers coming for the Vietnamese coffee. I'm sad i didn't get to explore this part of the city during its prime, but im happy places like Gigo's are still around to enjoy and appreciate. Give it a try if your around the area and craving some pho.
