Kumquat Coffee DTLA — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This place is simply amazing! Every single thing I had here exceeded my expectations. The matcha latte, hands down, is the best I’ve ever tasted. I ordered it with no sugar and almond milk, and the flavors were phenomenal—the deep green color, earthy notes, and rich, delicious taste were perfect.

The space itself is modern and spacious, with a comfortable seating area and plenty of natural light. I stayed at a hotel nearby and walked here so I am not sure about the parking in the area.

They also offer a fantastic selection of pastries and breakfast burritos. I tried the white cheddar biscuit, citrus cornmeal muffin, and potato burrito, and I can highly recommend all three. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I initially planned to explore other local coffee shops during my stay, but I ended up coming back here three days in a row because it was just that good!

The potato burrito does take a few minutes to prepare, but you can easily order it ahead on their website—just be sure to choose the right location. And I love that they open at 7 AM!

I’ll be dreaming about their matcha latte from now on. I can't wait to...

The my vanilla latte was spectacular and perfectly poured. The temperature was perfect for immediate enjoyment :) The plain croissant was delicious but wasn't heated all the way through. Which is understandable as they only have a little kitchen toaster oven. I'll definitely be back for the drinks. I've been spoiled with amazing, friendly, generous service, and so this spot didn't compare well in terms of service. But I was served quickly, nicely, and was asked all the questions to make my experience as good as it could be. The space is clean and organized, but the seating is not super inviting, and there's not much to look at. Music was soft and jazzy. If I lived here, I would definitely add this to my list of go to coffee shops for a quick stop - but not to study or work at. Thanks...

This place wasn’t exactly what I had pictured. It’s a very casual coffee shop with some seatings to enjoy pastries and coffee. I got their pour over coffee (geisha) that was $10. The price is very steep, but it was different in a good way. They made it well. It was slightly on the citrusy side. I personally like my coffee on the chocolate-y and nutty side, but I just had to try the premium pour-over coffee here. The croissants were good, but I would have preferred them warm, if that was an option. Parking was free for 45 minutes WITH validation. I didn’t like the way a valet guy was talking to me as if I was a second-class citizen because I was a Kumquat patron, and not that of Jonathan Club. But, aside from the rude valet guy, it was a pleasant place to sip away coffee surrounded by...
