endorffeine

My No.1 stop for espresso on the West Coast. I love their bean rotations and always learn about new amazing roasters from here. Undeniably, Jack crafts the most delightful pour over around town: tea-like and packed with beautiful flavors. Their cold brew jug is the best togo item you can get. Of course they have latte too, in their branded cans. Check their social media announcements for coffee classes and occasionally tasting menu events... Jack and Ttaya are absolutely amazing and very friendly! This coffee bar is a gem in old China town.

I had two cups of cappuccino at Endorffeine and they were delicious. However, I feel like Endorffeine is more like a coffee lab than a coffee shop, so I would recommend it only to coffee nerds who cares about just the coffee and nothing else.

Endorffeine lacks the coffee shop atmosphere, as if the place is created for the coffee maker, not for coffee drinkers. The shop is tucked in the darkest part of a Chinatown plaza and inside the shop feels like evening even at noon. The store has a neat 270 degree bar equipped with various coffee gears but unfortunately it's not open for seating at the time of my visits. Outside, a dozen chairs are cramped in a small fenced area. Every seat is taped with a huge note prohibiting outside food. It is simply not a welcoming scene.

I went to Endorffeine four times and twice it was closed. The announcement was only made only on IG (not on Google), with a Closed sign at the door. Even when it opens, I find it hard to understand what kind of coffee shop opens at 9am and only four days a week?

Wow what a well crafted cup of coffee .. he takes his time but it’s so well worth it … smooth and delicious cup of coffee. Don’t forget to go across the way for some tasty vegan croissants .. perfect duo

The best shot of espresso I have ever had.
Service was beyond.
Thank you for your hospitality.

My favorite coffee spot in LA. No gimmicks and no bs! The coffee here is always incredibly balanced and flavorful, no sort of sweeteners needed. The cold brew is always earthy and clean and the cortados are some of the best I’ve ever had. Jack is a master behind the bar and Ttaya a sweetheart on the register. How fortunate am I to live in the same time as Endorffeine? I’d say beyond measure

This team is genius. Extremely skilled and knowledgeable. Don’t go if you’re looking for a sweet drink, but if you’re looking for excellent coffee, it’s one of the best in LA. One of the best cortados I’ve had in my life.

The latte I got here was wonderfully balanced with no acidity or burnt flavor. I could taste the caramel notes at the end of each sip. I enjoyed the owner's dedication to perfecting espresso and would stop for another cup if I'm ever in the area.

This is simply one of the best coffee shops I’ve been to. Their choice of beans and equipments are all top-notched.

I had their cold brew and it has a light floral tone after taste to it which is not very common among cold brew (usually only in higher end drip coffee) and I think other coffee shops need to learn from this shop on how to make great cold brew as most shops are either always too bitter and have too fruity of an after-taste which very often tires your pallet.

My wife had the cortado which is 1 part coffee and 1 part milk in a cortado glass, which is also very good according to her.

The price is surprisingly on the lower end as well so it’s definitely your friendly, great neighborhood coffee bar. Will definitely come here more often! 10/10

Very good coffee. It's one of my favorite spots to get a cup of coffee in the area.

Jack is my crack dealer and coffee guru. Been to many shops. Guy is insanely attentive when pulling a shot and ridiculously knowledgeable about different coffee types and shops. I am frankly not sure I have ever had a bad coffee drink and most were straight espresso. No harshness and frankly, milk adulterates the coffee in a not so flattering manner. Better to have the shop's coffee if you are quite into your coffee and adore specialty coffee.
