Cognoscenti Coffee Roasters

I couldn't imagine what a coffee shop would look like in this part of the Fashion District, and I was happily surprised to find out the cafe in a plaza that almost feels like an oasis, shared with a few other restaurants.
The shop is spacious with a full view of the roasting area. Good flat white, and really nice people too.

I arrived ordering a cold brew and left asking about wholesale.
They were very friendly all the time and explained prices, quantities and origins of coffee.
I love your service, I hope to return soon.
Thank you very much for your time. 🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎

Found this spot while looking for LowKey burrito. Love the aesthetics of the shop and their menu looks very tasty. The coffee was amazing as well however I gave a 3 star for lack of customer service. The shop was not busy at all and I told the young lady it was my first time hoping she can kinda give me a run down of what they have and all i got was has pointing to the menu. Not very friendly.

Cheeseburger is so amazing and coffee is nice! And everyone was very kind to customer

There was plenty of street parking around and just a few blocks away from Santee Alley.

They had a solid coffee menu, but I feel like their iced latte was too milky. However I like that the drinks aren't overly sweet. I also tried their peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies which were excellent.

There's plenty of outdoor shaded seating and standing space.

If you wanna buy whole beans, they roast in house on Mondays.

I love this coffee. Such great coffee sourced from many other countries. My favorite is tumeric latte with expresso shot.

The waiter's cappuccino was both correct and excellent. Aside from that, I liked this coffee shop since they treated their customers with professionalism and courtesy. It was a secure, peaceful, and well-organized setting. To be honest, I liked hanging out at this business since it was a fun location to spend my spare time. It was both illuminating and gratifying!

Cool independent roastery / cafe in a unique location with amazing coffees and pastries. This place is a gem! They roast their own coffee in-house on a Probat machine—coffee nerds know! probably why their coffee is really good! And their pastries! Wow! Love it. They have an awesome space, looking into a courtyard in a rather quiet pocket of downtown. Great vibes. Mostly female led. Check this place out.

Great coffee shop with lots of seating space! They have a variety of pastries as well on display at the counter, they all looked delicious. Love this place! Spacious & quite & delicious food and drink. Awesome. Great vibes, big space, got a lot of work done while I was here, and staff was very friendly.

Freshly roasted coffee they can make with their own homemade coconut milk if you want. They have lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. You can get non-coffee drinks too. I love the place so much! Perfect!
