Andante Coffee — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Andante Coffee is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Downtown LA. I first stumbled upon this cozy little café when I was on the hunt for a good Spanish latte—and let’s just say, I’ve been a regular ever since! My office is just a few blocks away, and now my coworkers and I find ourselves stopping by multiple times a week. It’s our go-to coffee run.

What truly makes this place stand out is the staff. Jay and Joshua are absolute pros—especially when it comes to making the perfect matcha latte with sweet cold foam on top. The consistency is always spot on, rich in flavor, and that vibrant green color? Chef’s kiss. It’s the perfect balance of smooth and sweet.

Over the past year, I’ve made my way through much of the menu (yes, it’s that good), and the baristas even remember my order. It’s the kind of place where you feel known and welcomed every time you walk in.

If you’re on the lookout for the best matcha or Spanish latte in DTLA, this is the spot. Trust me—you’ll be hooked after...

I've lived in downtown for over 30 years, and this is easily the best coffee shop in the area. The coffee is consistently top-quality, and the service is outstanding—especially from Jay, who is always friendly, kind, and brings a great energy to the space. The shop is small but cozy, with a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay. It's also dog-friendly, with treats always available for your furry companions—a thoughtful touch. Overall, a warm, inviting spot with great coffee and even better people. Highly...

If you want legit good cold brew & almond croissant, this is THE place. Their sweet cold brew has the perfect amount sweetness and excludes the heaviness of a latte. The croissant is full of moist cinammon flavor and the layers are buttery + not too flaky. Overall also realized the shop is not just friendly in general but also super dog friendly as well so one can get the chance to see neighborhood doggos :3 there aren't a lot of seats (4 i think?) but this place is definitely worth the drinks/pasteries...
