We came to this cool coffee shop for their most popular Lavender Hot Chocolate. It was everything we hoped it would be, so delicious and the marshmallow was the best part. We also ordered a Kyoto Iced Coffee which is 16-hour slow drip single origin coffee served over ice. Overall this is the place to get the best hot chocolate in LA. For parking we did street parking, and walked a few feet to this location.

My absolute favorite coffee specifically Mocha. Not super sweet just the right balance. Use your credit card and you start earning points (not sure if you have to register). They make drop coffee. I find the coffee smooth and not bitter.

I ordered latte to go, it was tasty, very rich and a little bit heavy for my taste that after half of a cup I felt full and couldn’t finish it :)
Staff seemed very nice and willing to help.
I arrived right before they closed so the guy at the counter super politely asked me if I don’t mind to take it to go.
Prices are decent.

Great location in trendy Little Tokyo LA. Service was not great and the flat white I ordered was tasteless. There was no effort on this NYE. Probably an off day as this is one of the highest rated 3rd Gen coffee houses in DTLA. Has WiFi, small patio seating. I’ll probably try again.

A fun place to grab a cup of coffee - they have unique options and interesting snacks. The baristas are the funnest there are. On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 10. Tip your baristas!

Had a delightful experience here when I visited a few weeks ago. Ordered the “one coffee, three ways,” a single blend brewed in three different ways: espresso, drip, and their specialty Kyoto cold brew. The blend itself comprises washed processed El Salvador and Guatemala, which creates a nice balance between fruity and chocolaty notes.
The espresso has a pleasant aroma, sweet ginger combines with nuts and chocolate. The taste is more on the acidic side, which suggests light to medium roasted coffee. There are strong ginger and syrup flavors, with a hidden watermelon note that unveils in the mouth. Overall an excellent espresso.
The drip coffee offers a more “gentle” experience compares to the espresso. This cup has a more earthy, barley tea-like aroma. The ginger note is a lot more subtle this time, no longer pronounced but more balanced mixed with other flavors. The overall taste is reminiscent of a warm winter melon soup.
The Kyoto cold brew is an interesting percolation brewing method, which iced water, a drop at a time, drips through the coffee grounds. It hides out the acidity and gives a more earthy, nutty flavor. This cup has a smooth caramel taste, giving it an overall milk-tea-like mouthfeel.
If you ever visit Little Tokyo, I would recommend to try out Cafe Demitasse. They make amazing coffee and use some unique brewing methods. I think no matter how much you are into coffee, you can always find a drink suited for you.

The cappuccino is amazing, the pain au chocolat was delicious and full of chocolate. The seating is cozy and it isn't as busy as Starbucks. Speaking of Starbucks, there's one across the street so you get to laugh at the Starbucks customers as they walk by and miss substantially better coffee.

Creative, Cozy and friendly! I had a croissant and a triple spiced coffee. Great flavors and experience. It is my first time and I'm glad to recommend it.

Cold brewed coffee infused with nitro is excellent here. Friendly staff and atmosphere made the experience outstanding. I wish they can offer parking validation.

I really enjoy this place, staff are friendly and a great selection of coffee. I can no longer start my day without a Kyoto coffee from Demitasse.

This cafe in Little Tokyo was an awesome find. I can't share an opinion on their coffee but their lavender hot chocolate is unlike anything I've tried before. It's very rich, so don't expect a hot cocoa type of drink. It's much thicker in consistency and tastes almost like a melted chocolate bar, which if you're a chocolate lover, is not at all a bad thing. That and the burnt marshmallow on top makes for a perfect combination.

This place turned me into a coffee lover. Before I moved to LA, I was not a coffee drinker. However, I tried this place my first weekend here and it changed everything. I make a point to stop in here every time I'm in Little Tokyo. Not only are the drinks wonderfully crafted, but they have an amazing assortment of glassware dependant on the type of drink you've ordered.

This has to be the best drip coffee vendor in blocks. Very nice staff, serves you water if you order the espresso, without having to ask. Cakes, cookies, scones round out the experience. A great place to plan out your walk of Little Tokyo. Oh, and the coffee is just always so consistently good that i have to keep coming back.

Super chill coffee joint to chill with buddies and enjoy some coffee culture and hot sipping chocolate!
I thought the Lavender Sipping Chocolate was just ok. I probably shouldn't have tried to chug it. The chocolate was super thick and rich and the marshmallow was definitely a welcome companion. The lavender is much stronger at the end and I wasn't a big fan of it.
There's a lot of cool coffee craft going on in this place and I would definitely come back to chill with friends and explore more of the menu options.

great drinks, friendly staff, pleasant out door seating. A little pricey, but the quality is evident. Sometimes it's hard to sit and talk when it's crowded, but definitely my favorite coffee spot downtown LA.
