"Tucked out of sight just off Wilshire Boulevard, this minimalist Koreatown cafe draws in coffee aficionados for its extensive pour over options using beans from farms in Costa Rica, Ethiopia, and more. Document also serves specialty drinks including a cafe horchata, the Mad Spice latte with nutmeg and cloves, and a chaga mushroom latte. The usual selection of espresso, cappuccinos, and pastries are also available." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
"Document Coffee Bar in Koreatown looks a lot like an art gallery, and that’s probably because it was once. This minimalist concrete shop fills its blank walls with photo portraits of its regulars, and the light fixtures are made from repurposed paint tubs. Everything about this place is a little sleeker than you'd expect, including the way they make their nutty house cold brew. The chicory-infused coffee slowly brews, drip-by-drip, in giant glass towers behind the bar and gets subtly sweetened with maple syrup. If you are in the mood for a strong iced coffee, this is your spot." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"Get an early start to the day at Document Coffee Bar, a cafe that’s a favorite among locals. The building, with its tall ceilings and abundance of natural light, was originally intended to be a studio for owners, Sojung Kwon and Byoungok Koh, before the cafe opened in 2014. The coffee menu covers all the basics for morning caffeine needs, including a full range of espresso drinks, cold brews, single-origin pour-overs, and more. Document also offers several caffeinated and caffeine-free tea options, plus a selection of specialty Korean teas. Grab a croissant from the pastry case and check out the art on the walls." - Rebecca Roland
"A true community space in Koreatown, Document Coffee Bar has long communal tables, great coffee, Wi-Fi, and a funky atmosphere complete with plastic buckets doubling as light fixtures. Head to the cafe’s Instagram page and see how the team documents customers through photographs." - Mona Holmes
