    Hospital food...
    Ed M.

    Hospital cafeteria. The food is okay at most and slightly pricey. I had the chicken quesadillas with everything on the side. The line can be a bit confusing as it bunches up. They have separate lines noted but the wait for the food causes a log jam for other patrons waiting. Don't expect anything fancy here.

    Plenty of tables
    Jacqueline Teresa M.

    This place is a hidden gem. Its located in ground level inside the hospital. Prices are reasonably cheap and food is actually decent. They have a salad bar along with a variety of other yummy options to pick from. They even have ice cream bars and Starbucks coffee. People who work here are very nice and helpful. They greet staff and visitors which is a plus. They also have a microwave available for your own lunch or other necessities. Would definetely recommend.

    Sandwich, soup and salad combo options and prices!
    Valerie N.

    I recently discovered this hidden gem! They have salads, soups, sandwiches, Mexican food and other great options! I didn't see a menu with prices so I took pictures for you guys! They also offer discounts for students. Quality of food is delicious!

    My husband has his forever favorite -- the Einspänner -- and of course he ordered it again at Damo…read more It's still his number‑one coffee anywhere, and today was no exception. I decided to try something new and went for the Chocolate Forest Matcha... absolutely divine. Rich, earthy, slightly sweet, and so beautifully balanced. What surprised me most is how different the inside feels compared to the outside. From the street, it looks a little gahtto and unassuming, but the moment you step in, it's a completely different world -- cozy, bright, warm, and welcoming. It's the kind of space that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Damo continues to be one of those rare spots where the drinks are memorable and the atmosphere feels like a little hidden gem.

    5/5 I've tried all their matcha drinks and all are pretty good…read more 4/5 I've visited the arts district location and I always see them a bit understaffed (usually just 2) and they can get swarmed if a group of 4-6 customers all arrived at the same time. They seem to always deliver with precision and with warmth and smile even when busy. 6/5 on the ambience. The place is huge and so vibey. They also have an outdoor area in the back (you have to walk to the street / alley way ) which is about a 3 minute walk from the front door.

    Came here on a Monday morning so I could get some work done while my husband studied, and it was…read moresuch a great experience. The café is located within an apartment complex and offers underground parking, which the coffee shop validates the first hour is only $3. Street parking is also available. You follow the café signs to an elevator, and once you arrive, you're welcomed into a moody, beautiful space. DOGS ARE ALLOWED which is awesome. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor area feels like a balcony terrace combo with a small but lovely view of the LA skyline. We sat here and our doggo enjoyed a nap in the sun. It's a great spot to work, study, or catch up with friends without feeling cramped or rushed. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. They offer a nice variety of drinks, and we ordered an iced matcha latte and a hot Madagascar vanilla latte. For pastries, we chose a guava madeleine and a cookie butter madeleine. Everything is made fresh, and they actually whisk the matcha for each drink, which really shows in the quality. Our drinks came out quickly and were delicious. I loved my matcha, and my husband really enjoyed his latte. The pastries were also great, especially the cookie butter madeleine. This café is dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and we'll definitely be back.

My…read morehusband and I both tried their banana tiramisu lattes, but will eventually try their other drinks, including their matcha. Our drinks were delicious. The foam definitely had a banana taste and did not taste artificial or overly sweet. The flavor of the espresso still comes through and it is very smooth. I believe they also have food options available, but we haven't tried them yet. I absolutely love this space with its minimalist design. The ambiance is so calm, seems like a great space to do work or catch up with a friend. Decent seating area inside and plenty of patio seating. And their playlist is fire! I was initially intimidated to check this place out because I imagined parking would be difficult here and getting to the cafe would be inconvenient. But it's actually pretty easy to get there, felt like a little adventure. Park in the structure, you take an elevator, cross to the next building, and take another elevator, which takes you straight into the shop. Sounds more involved than it is, but just find the parking structure and signs will show you the way! Plus free 30min parking or $3 for 1.5 hours, pretty good for downtown, especially near Chinatown.
