Can’t recommend this place for a matcha sadly. Definitely would recommend them to level up their matcha to ceremonial grade (hopefully the right person is reading this).
Great big place with lots of seating. Bakery tastes great.
I’m sure coffee is great here, even though I don’t drink it, but hopefully one day I can enjoy a good matcha as well :)

I used to live down the street. Moved a few years back. Was worried I’d pop in and it had changed. Nope. Still my favorite coffee shop. The cortadito is fire. The sandwiches made with intention and love. It was nice being back and feeling home again. Never change please.

The spinach and feta danish tasted sour, not to my liking but I tried something new. I ordered a hot latte and it was decent.

I’d say the matcha from Ilcaffee is really good! It has that nice, healthy matcha taste not too sweet and very refreshing.

Il Caffé on Broadway has become one of my favorite spots in DTLA. Michael, the owner, is fantastic, always warm, welcoming, and genuinely engaged with his customers. You can tell he cares about the place and the community around it, and that vibe really sets the tone.
That said, the baristas could use a little spark. It sometimes feels like they’re doing you a favor by serving you, rather than creating that inviting coffeehouse energy. A smile or a little personality would go a long way.
But let’s be clear, the coffee and food here are excellent, the space is stylish and comfortable, and Michael’s presence more than makes up for the flat energy behind the counter. Five stars regardless, because this is still one of the best cafés in downtown Los Angeles.

Service here is so trash. Not friendly or welcoming for first timers.
Awesome spot to enjoy your coffee and soak in the city vibes, people watch and relax.

I was really looking forward to trying IICAFE and decided to order a double dirty chai. Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. The chai-to-coffee ratio was completely off—the coffee taste was so strong that it completely drowned out the chai flavors I was craving. Instead of a smooth, balanced drink, it was bitter and overwhelming, which made it hard to enjoy.
It’s frustrating because I had high hopes for this place, and the drink just didn’t deliver. I’m giving two stars solely because the customer service was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely care about the customers.
Sadly, good service can’t make up for a drink that missed the mark so badly. I’m not sure I’d come back for another chai here.

Supposed to be open till 7 pm but randomly decided to close at 5. Wifi issues as well. The tea was fine but with other options in the area, why opt for inconsistent, apathetic service? Will not visit again.
