Kumquat Coffee DTLA

"Okay, so Im staying at the Westin Bonaventure and this coffee shop came up as a great coffee shop near me. It is aesthetically adorable, but the selling point is the COFFEE and warm SERVICE. You can tell within seconds that the coffee experience is top tier, they take great pride in making you coffee. The breakfast offerings are great too. I had a tasty mustard hotdog croissant. My iced latte was DELICIOUS. They treated me like a regular/friend too. The service is everything."

"Kumquat offers a great selection of single origin and blended coffee from a variety of global sources and definitely one of the better sources for specialty coffee in LA. The shop itself is bright and open. Seating is a bit limited and it definitely feels more like a corporate cafeteria but the coffee and food is definitely much better than anything you'd get at a typical office lunch spot. I think the pour overs are a bit weak/light even for darker roasts but definitely good quality coffee. Prices are very reasonable. Service is friendly and efficient. Parking is limited like most of DTLA but there is metered street parking. Worth a visit if you are in the area."

"Christmas Day and this was one of the only coffee spots I found open. What an awesome discovery for a higher end coffee & donut shop. I started off with their Knotted Milk Cream donut, a “New England” latte & for to go I got their Omnom cookies and cream chocolate bar. The donut was phenomenal and it wasn’t too sweet. It was light, fluffy and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee was on point, perfect flavor and temperature. The white chocolate bar was probably the greatest white chocolate I’ve ever had. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. I wanna try their other donuts or even get the six pack next time. Parking is limited to street or paid garage."

"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 to the staff!"

"Really adorable coffee shop. Love the concept of this cute and simple spot. Friendly staff. Ordered the chai and cinnamon morning bun and they were both delicious! Would love to come back and try other things on their menu!"
