Located inside the lobby of The CalEdison building in the financial district of Downtown Los Angeles (across from the Los Angeles Public Library). Unless you are familiar with this area, it’s hard to miss. Coffee was smooth and their savory pastries were on point. Seating area in the lobby is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Employees are very friendly and they put their heart into making you the best cup of coffee. I highly recommend getting a hot americano ($4.50 for 8 oz) and pairing it with either some cheese bread (3 for $4.50) chicken croquette ($5.25) or beef croquette ($5.25). Great picker upper in the morning and afternoon. Parking is difficult around here. Not sure if they validate parking inside The CalEdison parking structure.

Probably the best espresso in this ZIP code currently. I hope they survive with the evil coffee empire across the street and more visible. I normally don't like added flavors but I'm getting addicted to saúde latte.

Follow the coffee signage located on 5th or Grand Ave and be whisked away into a dreamy lobby of old-time Los Angeles. A quick walk from the Broad Museum (5 mins tops) Not only is the location of this coffee shop beautiful, but the service and coffee are always top notch. Friendly baristas and even better coffee. I've tried almost all of their speciality coffees and have been impressed by each one. Generally I am not a fan of mochas, but their Sabotage coffee isn't too sweet and has a nice hint of spice. Recommend having your coffee there and enjoying the beautiful details in the lobby. Let your eyes wander and appreciate all the stonework!

“A hint of guava and passionfruit…” The drip coffee was incredible! Felt freshly poured, perfect temperature, and their pastries were out of this world. I won’t speak too much about the building because you’ll see for yourself. It’s amazing! Top hat energy for sure.

Pretty great place to get some work done and enjoy some great coffee! I always stick with their cold brew, which is actually with refills, which for a snobby coffee joint is actually relatively cheap! and if you are staying to get some work done, those refills can really add up.
