    The counter... nice and clean!
    Marc D.

    In the mood for an espresso tonic, I found myself at Soro Coffee. So glad I stopped in as I found a clean, friendly, spacious place with delicious coffee that did not disappoint. For $6, I got to enjoy some icy, citrus flavored goodness on a warm day. If you're the person who loves to bring your laptop while you caffeinate, this is your place! Lots of tables and open space to work and sip, on a busy corner made to people-watch. I'll definitely be back! Welcome to the neighborhood Soro!

    Yuzu matcha latte
    Miranda M.

    Popped in on a Monday morning in the office. This is a perfect location if you work nearby. It is a large space and looks like it would be easy to get some work/studying done here. What really stood out was the service, the man up front was so kind and welcoming. He went through their different signature drinks. I ordered the Yuzu matcha iced with oat milk. Alternative milks are an extra $1 which is pretty standard. The matcha was $9 which felt a bit on the high end and the cup wasn't all too large. However my drink was phenomenal. They put a generous amount of yuzu fruit/rinds into the matcha for flavoring. The worker up front was whisking the matcha in front of you. It wasn't too sweet with the citrus really complimenting that matcha flavor. Although my drink was $10 with tip, I would absolutely come back for the yuzu matcha as a treat yourself drink.

    Cold brew w matcha foam + matcha latte

    This coffee spot is the perfect location to sit down, get a little coffee, relax, and get some work done as there's plenty of seating in half the shop. The matcha latte was definitely the star of the show, not grainy whatsoever and the perfect sweetness. The cold brew with foam was, as expected, less sweet but just as refreshing. I actually prefer this locations cold brew + matcha foam compared to others that I've had because you still get that cold brew taste. The sweetness from the matcha foam doesn't overpower the bevvy at all. The cashiers were all very friendly and welcoming.

    Honestly? One of the better Matcha latte places in downtown LA. It really depends on where you are, but this is worth the walk. The owners are really nice, and the shop itself is really cleaned, has a nice vibe, and is nicely decorated. The Matcha latte itself itself was delicious, and didn't need anything more. Highly recommend compared to other places.

    Super cute, modern and spacious interior. A little hard to find because it's on a quieter street in downtown on a corner but worth the journey. It's close to the LA public library. The menu is appetizing and I look forward to trying more items. Tje barista was kind and helpful. I ordered an oatmilk cappuccino and it was delicious. Really great coffee. If you're a bit of a connoisseur (snob) like myself I think you'll enjoy it.

    Came here for an event Saturday morning and it was empty. The location is very clean, spacious and has a peaceful vibe. There are options of croissants, danishes, tea and coffee drinks. Staff are pleasant when serving you and it doesnt take long to get your item.

    Soro Latte
    Jessica G.

    Working or studying spot vibes for sure! Huge space, and the corner at the back even complemented with TV, which could function as screen. This made it perfect pick for either solo guest or group. The only downside was certainly parking situation, which you might have expected given it's at downtown. The lady behind the order counter, who's also the barista, was super nice. Really appreciated her for helping me being more decisive when placing my order (lol) as I was initially torn between their Soro Latte and any Matcha drinks. She convinced me to go with the prior as she said it's her favorite. I got it for to-go just because finding parking seemed impossible even after few rounds trying! This drink was simply a beauty with those layers of colors. It featured that matcha espresso combo with matcha cream top and the sweetener was basically the blue syrup at the bottom. I might fancy the coffee to be slightly stronger, but it's overall good! Even the matcha flavor stood out despite just being in the cream. Not sure what the blue syrup made of, but the dose in this cup certainly suited those who fancied anything not overly sweet.

    Discovered a new local coffee shop on my morning walk. Located on the corner of wilshire and grand is this charming family run coffee shop serving up some really good coffee + matcha. The space is roomy with plenty of seating, which is always a win in this area. I ordered their classic matcha latte w/ oat milk and loved the quality of the matcha they use. I asked for a little simple syrup and it came out perfect and exactly how I like it. A solid 9/10. It was lovely meeting the owners, Jeanie and her husband Rock(I really hope I'm spelling that right). If you're a local or in the area I highly recommend checking them out. A great addition to DTLA.

    Sesame latte
    Jennifer H.

    Strong coffee & great ambiance. They have plenty of seating. The exterior is kind of unassuming. I was having lunch nearby with my coworkers. We came here afterwards for some caffeine. Owners and staff were friendly. There is free WiFi so you can get some work done too. I ordered the black sesame cream latte. It wasn't super strong on the black sesame taste but the espresso was good.

    Matcha Espresso Fusion (Oatmilk)
    Tyler S.

    Soro Coffee is a hidden gem spot. The ambience is calm, subtle, and beautifully minimal -- clean lines, soft tones, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer than you planned. The service is warm and intentional, you can tell everything is prepped by hand with real attention to detail. I grabbed the matcha espresso fusion with oat mik (elite combo). Smooth, balanced, and crafted like they actually care about the cup they're serving.

    Inside Far End Seats

    Soro comes creeping up on you like Zoro! Caffeine kicks you so hard like a Burro! With drinks so tasty like a churro! At Disneyland with a caffeinated drink in your hand now what could be the happiest place in all of the land?! But before I continue with this jam let me tell you what hit me like Wham! The Pour Over of the Ethiopian kind had me so wowed up I was on rewind! Next up was the espresso and would I get it again? I guess so if I wanna be high then low! Last was the Soro latte and I gotta say it definitely had me going the right way! The presentation on all the drinks were beautifully arranged and they cane through with the flavors I was hoping for need I say more. This is definitely a coffee score and I couldn't ask for anything more. Service was on point at this joint! That's my take, Peace...

    Soro Latte
    Isabelle P.

    This is a really cute coffee shop, very clean and bright. I love all the available seats and there seemed to be a separate seating area away from the counter. I'm not sure if that's available to the public, I assume it is. I got the Soro latte, and it honestly tastes more like a matcha latte then anything. I think the matcha cream overpowered it once you mixed it in, recommended by the barista. I think it's a good drink but I don't think it gave me the caffeine boost that I needed. Cute place, definitely no parking lot or street parking as it's in DTLA.

    Matcha cream top
    Rebecca T.

    I'd been meaning to try Soro Coffee for a while, and I happened to be in the area for errands to pop in and grab a drink. Inside is large and spacious, and I like the minimalist design. Baristas were friendly and kind, and I ordered a matcha cream top to-go. A little pricey at over $9 for a 12-ounce, but the matcha flavor was strong and overall was a creamy delight. I approve!

I paused, glanced at the empty café behind me, and replied, "There are plenty available--surely I can use one." He continued, in a dismissive tone, speaking to me in a way that felt unnecessarily disrespectful. I chose to walk away and still enjoy my pour-over. But it's not just about serving good coffee. As Maya Angelou reminds us, people will always remember how you made them feel. And in this space, I felt unwelcome. As a paying customer--one who tipped in advance--that behavior felt undeserved and unwarranted. For that reason, there's no need to return.

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!
