Cognoscenti Coffee - DTLA

During my one week stay at Level, I frequented Cognoscenti nearly every day. It was a delightful experience each time. The staff were always friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The shop was tastefully decorated with a modern twist.

I highly recommend Cognoscenti to anyone who loves great coffee and a cozy atmosphere. It's an excellent place to relax, catch up with friends, or even work remotely. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the coffee is top-notch. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by Cognoscenti and try their amazing coffee!

This coffee spot is simply great. It's a nice place to go and get some work done or meet up with a friend over coffee/tea and a bite.

I ordered some tea and egg in a hole. I asked for my egg to be fully cooked because I just can't tolerate the runny yolk like many others can. I enjoyed it.

This place has simple food, great tea and a relaxing ambiance. What more can you ask for from a coffee shop?

Another chill coffee place if you're in DTLA , they open at 7. My tangerine ginger iced tea was refreshing, had zero caffeine and doesn't come with sugar .My friend had a Cortado and said it was ok and also banana bread.

My coffee and quiche were fantastic! I got a cafe au lait which the barista did a great job making, and a mushroom quiche which was one of the best quiches I've ever had. Better some in full restaurant settings. The service was great - baristas were charismatic and even checked up on how I enjoyed the food. I don't expect that at a cafe so I was pleasantly surprised!

Fantastic little coffee shop right next to a fantastic hotel. The coffee bean is on the sour side though so if you are used to Starbucks, this is probably not a good place for you to visit. Plenty of seating areas.

We stayed at LEVEL and were so happy to find this wonderful coffee shop right next door. We had many different drinks there and they all were delicious! Oat milk latte was the best I had during our 3 weeks trip in California, Almond milk iced latte, Oat milk cortado, Oat milk Matcha latte and espresso were fabulous as well. We’ll definitely come back again!

Good coffee pulled from real shots. Not automated machines. Their own roasted beans. Knowledgeable staff. Good atmosphere. Standard prices

Great drip coffee and mushroom quiche. I am usually not a fan of quiche but this quiche was perfect. Nice and creamy, spot on with salt.

Sadly my latte came like this. Perhaps would've been expected if this was from Starbucks but for a place claimed as an espresso bar, this place could use more training for their staff. Additionally, the flavor was subpar. I cannot taste the aroma and intensity of a good espresso but more like drinking a cup of milk. The experience was very disappointing.

Impressive pour over and fantastic atmosphere
