Cognoscenti Coffee - DTLA

Excellent locally owned cafe with food (breakfast - lunch - snack - pastries) and drink options (Nitro cold brew, soda, iced/hot teas, etc). They use their own locally roasted coffees, as well as those from other great roasters - all of it has been excellent.

Definitely a great, clean coffee shop to enjoy a cuppa.

The baristas are passionate about the coffee served and, more importantly, my pourover was delicious. I also ordered an "Egg in the Hole", which was legitimately gourmet. It's a piece of sourdough with eggs over-easy in the middle and rocket lettuce on top. The sourdough was beautifully tangy with a rustic crust, the eggs were perfect and the rocket mix added a light spice for contrast. Very impressive!

Staff is really friendly, coffee is good, ambiance is chill.
They also have some "local merch and supplies" that is really cool.
Also nice to get food !
If you want to do some digital works, just be sure to be full charged before cause they don't have any plug.

Overall great coffee shop. Outdoor seating had issues with wifi performance but that’s understandable. Good music playlist too.

All I had here so far is only an Ice Americano and it was kinda disappointment. Over cooked coffee bean lost its flavor. Place are cozy and clean to spend some time with comfort.

What a pleasant surprise, good coffee! Great coffee. I love the one in culver, so now to have one in my hood- along with delicious baked goods! Just perfection. They make a killer almond milk cortado or cappuccino. And way better coffee than across the street...

The staff is amazing, and the food and coffee is super good.

But their wifi is beyond terrible. What’s the purpose of a cafe with no good wifi ? Specially during a pandemic where lots of people work from home.

Well roasted basic coffee and simple, but good lattes and coffee drinks. Open, bright space, but still cozy, quiet, good WiFi, easy place to get work done in! No complaints.

A nice spot to grab a cup of mud.

Good coffee shop. Decent espresso and fantastic ceramics.
