    Santo's Turkey Melt.
    Steven M.

    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.

    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.

    Order online, picked up on time earlier than the promised time. Always busy place and great food and service .

    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.

    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

    Microwave Tater Tot burrito for $20!

    Ive only been here once so take that as it is. Ordered a Machata burrito and a mocha. When I was reading the menu, I noticed all their breakfast burritos had tater tots. A yellow flag went off in my head, as that is prime, cheap filler material. As I waited for my food, I noticed 2 separate tables that were emptied, both had food that was %75 uneaten... not a good sign. One had a chorizo burrito that had 3 bites and the rest remaining, the other had 3 pancakes with only half of 1 eaten. Once I got my burrito and looked inside, I realized that the burrito should have been named the Tater Tot burrito. %80 microwaved tater tots. See pic, no joke. This cost $20 with tax and tips? Wholesale you can buy a 2lb bag of frozen taters for $1.95. Way to make a profit!! Shareholders will be happy. Check out the generous egg portions too (sarcasm). They took 1 egg and flattened it to a ultra-thin layer you can barely telll its there. Overall the worst food value Ive seen in a long time. Very dry also. The mocha was good, so I'll avoid the 1 star rating. Go here for drinks, not for food... but then again the drinks you can get at the Whole Foods barista next door for $2 less. Trendy place with nice decor that young TicTokers will rave about. If you like wasting money, join them and keep this place afloat with your hard earned dollars.

    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.

    Prosciutto with arugula and fig jam
    Corina A.

    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.

    Where's the bacon and egg or who ordered the tater burrito

    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.

    Breakfast burrito was delicious. Homey latte was good, if you're not a fan of too sweet, ask for less sweetener.

    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

    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!

    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!

    Is there parking for customer?

    Unfortunately downtown LA does not have very many parking options for businesses...however there are public parking areas all over the area

    Are there vegan options?

They sell a variety of sandwich which you can customize to your liking. Because the sandwichs are huge, my sister and I shared one. We tried the L'Italiana and added truffle honey for $3. Total was $24 for our shared sandwich that was super filling for two people that we actually didn't even finish our own portion. So highly recommend sharing your sandwich! The sandwich was better than expected, the truffle honey really elevated the flavor of the specific sandwich we got but I would ask for less honey. Too much sweetness did overpower the sandwich. We also got the chip & drink combo for $5 and it's Italian chips & water. They also have a small bar seating area! Parking was a bit harder to find but we found street metered parking. Would highly recommend & can't wait to be back.

The bread was perfect, the meat was stacked just right, and everything inside actually held up instead of turning soggy. You can see it in the sandwich, it still looks and eats like something you'd get handed across the counter. But the pistachio cream is what took it over the top. I honestly don't think I've ever had anything like it on a sandwich before. It sounds like it could be too much, but it was perfect. Creamy, savory, a little rich, and completely addictive. This place is the real deal. If it's this good after a one-hour delivery ride, I can only imagine how insane it is fresh in the shop. Five stars easy.

I had it with "the works" (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, Italian dressing, pickles, and peppers). The bread was absolutely phenomenal and made the sandwich.

They have seating outside where you can enjoy your prepared foods and plastic silverware at the checkout. They have a great dried goods selection (one of the best tinned fish sections I've ever seen) and a wine shop that I didn't check out but that looked pretty impressive.

I ordered The Spicy P ($16.00), featuring a chicken cutlet, spicy vodka sauce, mozzarella, basil pesto, grated Romano, and fresh basil, all on a grilled seeded baguette. As a big fan of Chicken Parm, a dish I enjoyed often growing up, I was thrilled to find a place serving it on the West Coast. I used to get chicken parm subs regularly when I lived in MA, so it was wonderful to find something that brought back those familiar flavors - a truly authentic East Coast-style sandwich. I appreciated the chewiness of the seeded baguette and the sesame seeds added a nice textural element. The bread was soft and fresh, and the chicken cutlets were excellent, smothered in gooey, cheesy goodness. While I loved the spicy vodka sauce, it wasn't very spicy, especially for a sandwich named "Spicy."I really enjoyed the Spicy P and would definitely order it again, but I'd also like to come back and try The Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap next time. Ggiata is definitely worth checking out. I recommend ordering online in advance to avoid a long wait.

It came with a side of caesar dressing which I felt it needed as the wrap it self was a little dry due to having light dressing.
