1. Document Coffee Bar
Order a cup of coffee and take time to appreciate the wall of portraits at Document Coffee Bar! Not only do they make drinks with amazing flavors, but also they add value in their space by displaying Angeleno artists’ work with different themes, such as the BLM movement. For drink suggestions, we recommend cafe horchata or Document cold brew.
Document Coffee is best to get an after-lunch coffee to-go.

There are two locations of Alchemist Coffee Project in Koreatown, LA. Inside the cafe, there is a long table where you could get your work done or read a bit while sipping your cup of coffee. The drinks and bakery items are not too sweet but flavorful, which is the best thing about this cafe.
We suggest getting a cold brew or a cup of lavender latte, with a slice of new york cheesecake. Vegan blueberry coffee cake or gluten-free financier are also excellent dessert choices, too.
