Aquarela Coffee - DTLA

Aquarela Coffee is in the lobby of the CalEdison Building, a 1930s Art Deco landmark across from the LA Central Library. The high ceilings and gold detailing are stunning. Wifi is free for 60 minutes, outlets are few and tables are small. Downtown parking is expensive.

They micro-roast farm-direct Brazilian coffee in LA. The Brigadeiro Latte has dark chocolate, condensed milk and a truffle. The espresso has orange and spice notes. Try pão de queijo with guava jam, chicken croquettes or blueberry coffee cake.
