    Cold brew w/ cold foam
    Rosy C.

    I got a cold brew with cold foam and it was great! The owner helped me pick a coffee bag to take home and explained the notes to me. The inside was really open and pretty, great for studying or to have a coffee date!

    Had to find a good cafe quickly in downtown LA to be able to attend Armenian class and boy am I glad I stumbled upon Soro! It's soo hard to find a good cafe with ample room and if you need to study this is the place to come to in downtown! Not only is it pretty spacious, they also have lots of seating spots, outlets and did I mention their matcha lattes are so so good and inexpensive?? Quite the steal. The owners were very nice and helpful with my questions. 진짜맛있어요!! Definitely coming back

    Great light to medium roast options and flat white and wide selection of pour overs. They sell Sweet Bloom and idle hands coffee bags too.

    wanted to try a new spot today for a work and was surprised to see such a nice, large workspace in this cafe. it's tucked away on a corner but worth a trip. the matcha was honestly just okay. it didn't have much depth too it and tasted kinda watery. the black sesame latte comes naturally unsweetened which is fair but i think it could've used a bit. overall it wasn't baaad but i wouldn't say i liked it very much. however, i'm willing to give it another try because maybe an off day as all four of us felt the drinks were just okay.

    the soro latte was pretty good, perfect for when you're craving both coffee and matcha! the blueberry donut was DELICIOUS! it's expensive for how small it is ($4 each) but worth trying at least once. bonus: the texture of it was perfect; not dry at all and soft decently sized place; great place to do work or to socialize

    Black sesame cream cold brew
    Halley K.

    Needed a caffeine pick me up after an event downtown and stumbled upon this great space! The barista was so friendly and patient offering great recommendations. I ordered a cold brew with black sesame cream top and it was amazing! The black sesame flavor really came through and wasn't overly sweet. The cold brew was also delicious with a strong flavor. Inside has plenty of seating and could be a great option for a coffee shop work day. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Really good matcha. You can tell it is great quality. Service is good, they're very kind. also, it is a nice looking shop. Great place to work.

    Cute interior and seating, Frida approves lol
    Kay Y.

    Friendly staff and great specialty lattes! The black sesame is what drew me in. Minimal and clean interior with a large communal table for working should one need. A great location tucked in the corner between grand and Wilshire. Def worth stopping by for those who are feeling adventurous in trying a new coffee spot (: I love that they are doggo friendly with a welcome treat near the entry area. That def will motivate me to come back for the sake of my doggie baby xD Friday very much enjoyed her jerky thanks Soro team lol I will say for being 1 sized cups only. I think it's only fair if they used the medium grande cups Starbucks uses. Right now it's the small tall size. Just a note on that!

    First time at Soro Coffee and ordered the Soro latte. It had an interesting color gradient that caught my eye. There's blue syrup on the bottom, espresso + milk, matcha foam, and a piece of dried orange on top. It was an interesting combo that worked and tasted very refreshing on a hot day! Cafe is spacious, clean, and minimalist. I definitely want to come back and try other specialty drinks.

    I stopped by this cafe recently on my way downtown and was very surprised at the cleanliness and the service. The service is exceptional, the employees and baristas are super nice and knowledgeable. I tried the black sesame latte and it was sooooo good. Not sweet, very foamy and tasty, would definitely come again for that latte. If you're in the area and looking for a quiet place to study or wfh, this is the place. A++ recommend.

    What a truly wonderful coffee shop in the middle of DTLA. The pictures taken here are stunning and they don't do justice to the space of this location. Parking sucks cause it's downtown but if you get past that, this is a top 3 coffee spot in Los Angeles. The coffee served, Idle Hands Colombia, was exceptional. Being honest was probably the best cup of coffee I've this year. Wished it came in a larger size, and I'm rarely in this area for coffee but will definitely need to come back to try other items on the menu. One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've written this year.

    Black sesame cold brew
    Charlie N.

    I've seen TikToks raving about Soro, and I happened to be in the area to transfer trains and also had to hop on a few Zoom meetings ... the perfect opportunity to try out this place! WHAT I ORDERED: Black sesame cold brew THE DRINK: The cold brew was pretty standard and was pretty smooth. I was definitely impressed by the flavor of the sesame cream - not too overpowering yet flavorful and fragrant. I do wish the cream was a bit thicker, but it makes sense given that it usually comes on top of the latte rather than a cold brew. SERVICE: Great! They answered my questions about the menu. VIBES: Good place to get work done! Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: Yes, good amount of outlets throughout! * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, fast * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Not too loud * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Abundance of seats, and different types of seats too! I sat at the seats by the window but I saw there was also a communal table. There were some private nook type of rooms but I'm not sure if those were available for customers to use? * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: Will probably be a go-to now for when I'm downtown and need to do work! I'll need to try the matcha that people were raving about next time.

    The counter... nice and clean!

    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!

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.

My son also recommended it, even though he had never actually tried their drinks. LOL. It was one of his friend's favorite cafes so I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the right time to stop by until toward the end of our trip. I'm so glad we finally did though because I'm now in love! Rok instantly became one of my favorite cafes in LA. If I had tried their drinks at the beginning of our trip, I honestly would have gone back every day until we left! They have so many interesting drink combinations. This time, I tried the Earl Grey Matcha Duo. I love both Earl Grey and matcha but I wasn't quite sure how well they would pair together until I took my first sip. OMG, it was sooooo good!!! The balance between the Earl Grey flavor and the matcha was perfect. No wonder they've been recognized as one of the best places for matcha in the U.S. They also use Uji matcha which made me even more excited to try it. Our first visit to Rok was only two days before we left LA and I liked it so much that I had to have it one more time before we went home. On the morning of our flight, we got up a little earlier just so we could stop by and get their drinks before heading to the airport! I got the Earl Grey Matcha Duo again while my husband and son both tried the Lotus Einspanner. My son has never been a coffee drinker so I was surprised that he wanted to try one. I honestly expected him not to finish it but he LOVED it! He did tell us later that the caffeine really got to him, though. LOL. There really isn't a cafe in my area that does matcha drinks well so I was especially happy that I got to enjoy such good matcha during this trip. Rok has definitely become one of my must-go cafes in LA and we'll absolutely be back the next time we visit!

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 drink came out within a few minutes but the food took ~ 20 minutes before they brought it out. Both of the food items felt okay and not anything special as well. The poke was slightly lower on the list because they use tuna; could have been better with salmon. Overall, it was a pretty meh experience. WiFi is available, so it could be a working spot for those that need it. Tables were dirty given the volume of customers they had. I wanted to grab some coffee beans and they were out of stock at the time. The initial atmosphere seemed nice, so perhaps I should consider coming back on a less busy day.
