Cloud latte
Rubi V.

Cloud latte, is the best for me fresh roasted flavor and always great service. Freshly roasted coffee on site

Amanda T.

I stopped by this place to grab a quick coffee while being in Los Angeles and I found this place on yelp. The surrounding area of this coffee place isn't necessarily my favorite, but the coffee shop itself is actually really nice and secluded. This coffee shop is small and there is no seating indoors, but there is a few seating outside if you want to hang out in the area. The drink itself is pretty good. I got a regular iced latte to go and I was probably in and out of the store within 20 minutes. The staff was also really nice. I'm not sure if there's parking in the building that the coffee shop is located in, but I parked on metered parking right outside on the street. The coffee shop is located in a plaza like area that has other unique stores in case you wanted to hang around the area. Overall, this place is definitely worth checking out if you're looking to grab a quick pick me up. They also sell pastries which I didn't get, but it looked really good. Something that I'll look into the next time I'm here.

Filter coffee

A small and cozy coffee shop. The location is a bit hidden, but it is worth the visit. There's not tables, restroom, etc. offered. The store is very simple, neat, and clean. It's more a grab and go. I got their filtered coffee, it's bold with a hint of acidity. They offer a variety of cloud foam drinks which is what they're popular for. The staff are friendly and welcoming. A great shop to hit up if you're in the area.

Welcome to TILT COFFEE. #dtla #liltokyo

TILT COFFEE BAR (est. 2016) is cute highly-rated Downtown LA coffee shop. They're somewhat hidden given its location at the center of an apartment building in the middle of lil Tokyo. Despite its tiny outpost size they make incredibly good coffee, delicious albeit modest pastries and an outdoor seats with impeccable view of DTLA. Tilt's menu is pretty modest with a collection of coffee, tea and specialty items. I came on a warm afternoon and was perfunctorily greeted by a male staff. I perused their menu and ordered a Cold Brew x Choc Croissant. Both were satisfying. Staff was cordial and competent. Service was spot on. Parking (metered parking) was surprisingly easy given its in down town LA. Overall, it's a nice hidden gem to grab coffee and enjoy the smell of DTLA.

Cinnamon cloud latte
Linda M.

Delicious!! We got the popular cinnamon cloud drink and wow really really good without being too sweet! The rest of my family got iced coffees and also very refreshing. Love this coffee shop it's so simple and the staffs is amazing.

Matcha cloud and cold brew
Shauna S.

A little escape from the hustle and bustle of LA. Tilt is the cutest little building tucked away and surrounded by grass and outdoor seating. I tried the Cloud Matcha. The fluffy topping is so yummy and not overly sweet. Their cold brew was also solid and smooth. The street parking is limited and there are paid parking lots surrounding the area.

Cloud Mocha Iced
Carlo G.

I had the Cloud Mocha and it was decent. It was light it flavor, both with the cream and drink which my friend liked. However, for me I would've preferred if the chocolate and coffee flavors were stronger and if it was a bit sweeter. I got it iced with oat milk, but I think it was a bit too milky since the flavors seemed diluted. Still, the drink was good overall, but could be improved in my opinion. This small coffee shop is hidden within an apartment complex in Downtown LA. There is a big outdoor seating area which could be maintained better since it was a bit dirty and run down. There's a bathroom on the basement level of the complex which the staff can give you a key to, but it is confusing to locate. For parking, it's street parking which can be rough to find in downtown. The staff were pretty nice though and the interior of the coffee shop seemed clean. Overall, a decent experience here. While my drink could've been better, I would still be interested to come back to try the other drinks.

Outside View

When you're feeling a little on Tilt they provide you a caffeinated Stilt to get you back on track. A gem hidden in the diverse coffee community in Downtown Los Angeles that can't be passed up if you're in the area. It's a stand alone shop with no seating inside but plenty outside with the busy noise of the city life. We ordered two of their specialties which were the Nutty Cloud and Cinnamon Cloud. The Nutty Cloud came with a flavorful blend of Peanut Butter Cream and Hazelnut syrup which wasn't too sweet. The Cinnamon Cloud came with Cinnamon and Maple topped with cloud cream and if you're lactose be careful, lol. Both of the flavors came through and the coffee did the job to get us off that Tilt! There's a bunch of little shops around the area to explore and cool mural to look at if are into that. And that's my take on it, Peace...

Ceremonial matcha latte
Silvia D.

Service: quick and friendly but it wasn't busy. Food: ceremonial grade matcha latte Ambiance: walk in closet size spot with the best Khruangbin music ever!!!! Be careful when you sit in seats outside because they might be dirty. Had a cute sitting spot down the stairs too.

Iced Cloud Matcha
Chrissy L.

The iced cloud matcha is creamy, sweet, and super yummy, making it a really enjoyable treat. It has a smooth texture with just the right balance of sweetness and matcha flavor.

Brandon N.

What I ordered: - Cloud latte - Cloud matcha Secretly tucked away between an apartment complex is Tilt Coffee Bar, a hidden gem in the LA Toy District. It may be difficult to find, but they place signage around the area. Although the most popular drinks are the cloud matcha and cloud latte, they offer several other enticing options like the hojicha latte and caffeine-free strawberry cloud. My only complaint is that they only have one location and it's not in Orange County! The iced cloud latte is the smoothest latte I've ever tasted, feels like you're on clouds. More on the creamy/milky side, but the espresso still shines through. Quality of ingredients is top notch. The sweetened cloud matcha had very subtle sweetness and high-quality matcha as well, not fishy tasting at all. The cloud foam makes this one of the creamiest matcha lattes out there!

Nutty cloud
Natalie N.

Drove 30 minutes to try this place. I thought the coffee was good but maybe not for such a drive. The service was friendly and the place was clean. A little difficult to find though.

Sophia B.

The employee was very descriptive about each drink I asked about. LOVE the design!! Very little space to sit not the best to get work done. Parking was a mission, but enjoyed the coffee!

What are the cross streets? Any landmarks to look for? For some reason, I have a hard time locating this coffee shop.

If you're on Main street, with Spread and Simply Salad in front of you, you walk through the hallway to the right of those establishments and Tilt will be there in the courtyard.

Hello, can anyone please help me out who has been there recently or lives by that area. I want to know if the mural sign greetings from downtown LA is still there? If anyone who has been there can answer it would be of huge help! Thanks again!!

As of 3/26/22 the mural is still here downstairs.

Yes

For the Cloud Latte - If I substitute the milk with a non dairy alternative, will it be Vegan? Or will it still contain dairy from the cream?

There would still be dairy from the cream unfortunately, but the latte is still amazing!

What is the seating situation like, for people wanting to do work?

They have a separate 'tilt' structure next to the one they make the coffee in, so yes, conducive to hanging out and working on a laptop!

Hows the parking situation on this place TIA?

The thing is, there is metered street parking and a parking structure. It'll be cheaper to use the meter unless you're gonna be in DTLA for a long period which the structure charges $6 for the whole day

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.

I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open! I am a sucker for pop-up coffee shop/cart concepts so I had to check it out. 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!

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.

I went on a Monday around 5 PM and they had no food available, which was disappointing because the kimchi fried rice sounded amazing. I ordered the matcha, and it was genuinely excellent. The foam had a slight saltiness to it that paired really well with the drink, and the matcha itself tasted high quality. I wouldn't change anything about it. My drink came out to around $9 including tip. Overall, I really liked this place and would probably come here often if I lived nearby. Between the expensive parking, limited outlet-to-seat ratio, and lack of food during my visit, I'd give it a solid 4/5.

The matcha is so well balanced - you can actually taste the matcha, not too sweet, and creamy too. They also sprinkle sea salt on top which helps enhance the matcha flavor.
