In DTLA there aren't too many coffee shops where you can grab coffee and a sandwich, so it is nice to have a spot where you can get both. There is plenty of seating and it is centrally located on 7th and Grand.
Located near 7th and metro station is downtown La. Great place for brunch or lunch. Really good omelette and coffee. Service was fast, order at counter and they bring it to you.
I had to run downtown for an appointment and walked past this place so truly a stumbled upon experience and so happy I did! The inside is cute and inviting with lots of small tables to work from and a few outside benches. The staff was friendly and my order came out quickly. I got a cold brew with almond milk which was average, but the star was an espresso hazelnut bread. So delicious and great soft texture. I would definitely come back!
it's a very cute venue with very nice Instagram pictures, although some section of the place looked kinda odd with the positioning plants. It was terrible that today I saw a sign of the restroom cannot be used, which is really outrageous. But this review is just on the food. And for that, it is really five star. It was very well made for the eye and the taste. Service is very friendly and fast and they'll bring your food out to you. There is a nice condiment area so you can help yourself to anything. The seating area is very comfortable and I see some people sitting there pretty much for hours working. It's a very peaceful spot and good food & coffee. What more can you ask for in downtown. It's right across a macaroon place so I can see it doing really well.
What an absolutely amazing place to stumble upon! I've been three times in the past two days. So why four stars and not five? Yikes, when you add milk to the tea, it becomes an $8.15 tea. That's... a bit much. I'll pay for quality loose leaf, but.. almost a tenner? Have also come for lunch; hubby had one of the avocado breakfast burritos and devoured it so quickly. I opted for the Club wrap - the bacon had an amazing flavor to it, which really made the wrap pop (a little bit of spice). The decor is super cute and the overall restaurant is very clean. High marks for that. Don't come if you're on a budget, but if you're OK with splurging a bit, I highly recommend! 2026: 16/100
Great cafe centrally located in DTLA. The hot latte and breakfast croissant were really good. Perfect place to work and unwind! They had a lot of great food menu items to choose from. Service was good, no complaints there.
I have ordered dine in, to go, and delivery. Food is always delicious, prepared and packaged great. My favorite thing on the menu is the avocado bacon croissant sandwich. Make sure to order it with a side of chipotle aioli sooooo good! Parking sucks but you'll find street parking and parking garage across the street if you are dining in.
Order online, picked up on time earlier than the promised time. Always busy place and great food and service .
Ambiance: it's a spacious and trendy cafe place, high ceilings and comfortable seats, good place for quick bites Service: the cashier was nice and efficient, but either their manager or owner seems rude, when I found rotten leaves in their food and brought to his attention as a courtesy after I'm done eating and about to leave, he kept denying and saying it's not rotten, well you can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep, overall it would have been a four star place, but one star off for ingredients not fresh, and another star off for the unprofessional attitude Food: plenty choices for breakfast and lunch, also there's pasty and coffee menu Grilled Pastrami Sandwich on Sourdough - ** Black Navel Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sourdough, side of arugula salad, the pastrami meat was tasty although a bit salty, the lettuce was't fresh, so disappointing, obviously rotten from photos Price: moderate portions and slightly overpriced for the food quality, although it's understandable for downtown location
Breakfast burrito was delicious. Homey latte was good, if you're not a fan of too sweet, ask for less sweetener.
Decided to give this cafe a visit after walking past it multiple times. Decided to order their machaca breakfast burrito and it was so freakin good. Lots of meat, melted cheese, and crispy tator tots inside. Comes with a side of delicious salsa. Service was excellent and loved the decor and vibe inside the restaurant. Pro tip: Sit by the window if you love to people watch. Will definitely come back!
Cute, bright, and airy cafe serving breakfast and lunch. The bacon breakfast burrito was tasty. Cashier was friendly. She told me a few things people liked such as mortadella sandwich & other items. Great addition to Downtown; if you come on a Saturday, make sure to go stop by the mini South Park farmers market down the street. The only thing I can think of is the seating could be more comfortable, like maybe add cushions? I like the music playing in the background which wasn't too loud.
I was looking for a place to have lunch in DTLA and came across Sandcouch Cafe. First impression was there were lots of people dining here and almost every table was taken and a bit loud too. I walked to the counter to place my order with the friendly lady at the order counter. I ordered a blueberry matcha and a prosciutto with arugula and fig jam. I looked around to see where I could grab a seat but only found a seat at the counter bar area. I went to sit down and shortly after my matcha was ready. Their menu said they buy their matcha from Japan so you know you are getting quality matcha. It was delicious. About 7 minutes later my sandwich was ready and a nice gentleman brought it to me. I was pleasantly surprised after my first bite. The bread tasted like it was made in house and super soft and fresh. All of the indents paired really well together and tasted so good. The fig jam gave the sandwich a little sweetness but not overly sweet. I will definitely come back and try other items from their menu when I'm in the area.
I'll be honest here, I kind of wanted to hate this place ever since I almost went a few months back but changed my mind when I saw six people wearing fedoras at a table and wanted nothing to do with that, but here we are, months later giving this place another real shot. My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich. read more

Sandcouch is a cute little cafe in downtown L.A.

They have a full coffee bar, and fresh baked goods available as well. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Just under a year since SOUNDCOUCH first opened and on my first time here, I like the design (ie eat-with-a-view), clean vibes, appetizing menu etc. Nice and helpful staff but I have to say, the grilled chicken sandwich I ordered for $18? A letdown in most every way. Stiffish bread, too sweet grilled onion bacon jam, overcooked chicken that might've been frozen as it's chewy, my green salad side w honey-mustard dressing turned out to be nothing, merely arugula and drizzled over in lemony olive oil... After tax and tip, I dropped close to $25 here. Very disappointing. read more

Best matcha in DTLA! The blueberry matcha is very unique & adds a subtle fruit taste. I finally tried their machaca burrito during my visit & I highly recommend it. The flavors were great & the texture was perfect. I'm a regular & customer service is always top notch. You may sometimes see the owners working in the cafe too, making sure their employees continue to provide great service. The ambiance in the cafe itself is very welcoming & clean. Great place to do some studying if bringing your laptop. Overall you should definitely give this place a try if you're in DTLA! read more

I work in Downtown and often stop by for lunch. I don't usually leave reviews, but this spot deserves one. Amazing matcha -- smooth, earthy, and not overly sweet.

Clean, warm, and cozy space. The baked goods are well presented and inviting. So why 1 star? Opening a restaurant in Los Angeles isn't easy--but doing it without a properly dialed-in kitchen is even harder. Add a poorly executed menu, and the results show. Take a look at my photo of the breakfast burrito: missing bacon and egg. I opened what was supposed to be a bacon burrito to add salsa (which, to be fair, was very good) and found lazily prepared fillings and what tasted like leftover bacon from the day before. I'm being tough because of the location--7th and Grand is prime real estate. Being busy wiping tables doesn't justify 4-5 star reviews if the food isn't there. This place needs someone to step in and help with the kitchen and flavor profiles, because right now they're just not working. Good luck--I'll be back, and I hope it improves. read more

Stopped by Sandcouch Cafe early in the morning to try something new, and I'm so glad I did! I ordered a small honey vanilla latte with whole milk, and it was perfect--not too sweet, just right. This café is located downtown, right on the corner, so it's easy to find. They also serve breakfast and lunch, which is great if you're looking for more than just coffee. I've noticed a lot of people come here to get work done in the afternoons, so it definitely has a nice, relaxed vibe. If you're looking to switch things up from your usual Starbucks or Dunkin', I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll be back for sure! read more

I come to this place every morning and usually spend over $70, so I'm a regular customer. The food is good, which is why I keep coming back. Unfortunately, the customer service has been very disappointing, especially from one employee named Vanessa. This is not the first time she has been rude. This most recent visit, she slammed the pen down and threw the receipt on the counter instead of handing them to me. On previous visits, she has rolled her eyes and appeared very annoyed. She often looks unhappy, tired, and like she doesn't want to be there, which really affects the experience. I understand everyone has bad days, but consistent rude behavior toward customers is not acceptable, especially for regulars. I hope management addresses this because the food is good, but the customer service needs serious improvement. read more

Stumbled upon this new coffee shop and cafe this morning after missing my stop on the metro. I walked in to take a look and ended up leaving with an americano and a blueberry lemon scone. Both were better quality than most coffeeshops in DTLA. The ambience is very inviting. I would like to come back for lunch or breakfast in the near future. read more

Just discovered my new go-to spot for a slow weekend morning. The airy, sunlit interiors make it feel like a hidden retreat in the middle of Downtown LA. I ordered their veggie omelette (look at that color!) loaded with fresh bell peppers, onions, and a generous sprinkle of cilantro on top -- served with hearty slices of multigrain toast. Simple, wholesome, but full of flavor. Coffee? Smooth and balanced. Staff? Super friendly without being overbearing. The whole place has that "Instagrammable but still cozy" energy that makes you want to linger with your laptop or catch up with friends. If you're into fresh, unfussy brunch with a little LA chic, Sandcouch Café is definitely worth a stop. #DTLAeats #SandcouchCafe #BrunchGoals read more

Came here for breakfast after loving the atmosphere when I walked by the window the day before. I got the avocado bacon bagel sandwich on a sesame bagel (they also had everything and plain options), and my boyfriend got the avocado bacon cheese croissant sandwich with tomato jam. I also ordered a vanilla matcha latte with whole milk. Everything was simple, tasty, and really satisfying. There was plenty of seating when we arrived, and the staff was actively cleaning tables, which I appreciated. I'd definitely come back! read more

My review is only for their coffee. The place is not too big but with enough space to eat and/or have your coffee. They also have a small outdoor seating area which looks cozy and comfortable. I ordered an iced honey vanilla latte. Really good overall, only thing I can say is it was a little too sweet for my taste but I'm sure they can adjust next time I order. My brief interaction with staff was pleasant so I'd say the service is good too. I observed one of the staff possibly the owner or manager check on orders for other customers which I thought was nice. read more

I've had mixed experiences. Some of their food and drinks are stellar and others are only OK. The scone my partner got for our pastry date was too dry for my taste. But my cinnamon roll was impeccable! The lamination and folds were perfect and the flavor was ideal. The salad I've had from a previous order was mediocre. But my partners love the mortadella sandwich. The space itself is large and open with a great corner location. But the high ceilings and all the sharp edges and clean surfaces make it kind of loud (bad for acoustics), so I recommend noise-cancelling headphones if you're there to focus on work. The team at the counter is always lovely. read more
