A charming place in the middle of no where. Quite magical. Hip concept of coffee+plant+barbershop. I enjoy their coffee tonic in real glasses. Lavender latte is refreshing and floral with not over powering but pleasent lavender smell. I feel like I can brainstorm my creativity while sipping coffee here. Every corners is covered with inspirations. It also has a beautiful outdoor patio lined with picturesque olive trees.
I love this coffee shop!!!! Living in the Arts District, we have tons of options for great coffee, but after trying pretty much everything on the menu here, I've found my go-to spot because literally EVERYTHING IS GOOD! I love their lavender latte with oat milk and their cold brew is so delicious and not bitter at all. They also serve the best bagels in town from Bagel Brokers and have some other great food menu items like a killer breakfast sandwich and burrito. The best part about this place is the cute courtyard where you can bring your laptop or a book and enjoy a relaxing little spot in the middle of DTLA. You might miss this place if you didn't know it existed because it's such a hidden gem; enter through the cute plant shop or the gated courtyard and you'll find it!
Overall poor experience despite the good atmosphere.
Our barista was pretty rude. Understandably we had a 4 person group and he was alone on bar, but we were met with apprehension when asking questions such as if he could do a pour over or if there was a bus bin for our cups.
He also didn't call our drinks out so we weren't sure if our drinks were actually ready or if they were other's drinks, to which we were met with a passive aggressive "do you guys like your drinks hot or?".
One of our drinks was specifically asked to be hot, which was served cold. Drinks were not very balanced, flavored lattes we're watered down despite the stand alone espresso being pretty solid.
I've definitely had worse coffee, but personally I'm in the belief coffee is 50% the experience. I'm incredibly disappointed because I wanted so badly to love this place. We were willing to wait an be patient to our barista, why were we not met with the same respect?
Etiquette Coffee has been on my list for a while and I’m really glad we went. Their outside seating has a way of making you feel like you’re somewhere else for a moment 🐪 I really love that it’s not just a concrete ally but has a sandy ground and tan cloth above that provides shade. I’m not sure how they made an LA ally feel so clean and sophisticated but they did a great job. Almost felt like I was back in Europe ☕️
The cafe itself is located in what I think is a really cool and interesting street. It feels like a dead-end street with some businesses and a few storage houses. It definitely has that urban feeling that some people search for. The cafe seems to blend in perfectly with the rest of the buildings and can even be unnoticeable driving past it. I definitely got a feeling it’s well loved by the locals who know about this little gem.
It also looks like their brand is more than just coffee. I love to see cafes selling products they’re passionate about and building more of a community that way. There’s definitely a specific crowd that Etiquette Coffee attracts and you can feel it when you walk in. Our barista was so funny and enthusiastic and everyone in there, even the patrons, seem like interesting characters. I had great things to say about their drinks too 🍵 we ordered a matcha and chai tea and the chai was our favorite of the two. Very happy to be able to taste spices and not a basic concentrate that some cafes use!
I would be very happy to come back again with a book and enjoy the atmosphere 🚲
The burritos are really good, it’s true. Coffee was nice as well. Patio ambiance is very enjoyable as well. Definitely one of my fave arts district coffee shops!
Currently my favorite coffee shop in LA. Coffee is great, the breakfast burrito is amazing and the general atmosphere is super chill and inviting. My thanks to all that work there for making it such a great space.
What these guys are able to do with a hotplate is pure magic. One of the greatest breakfast burritos I’ve ever had. Not to mention all of the coffee is perfect and they couldn’t be nicer.
