Nice Coffee

The beverage was aesthetically pleasing, and the taste was satisfactory. My primary purpose for visiting was to enjoy the scenic view and the serene, clean environment, which allowed me to work on my laptop while appreciating the calming sounds of the fountain.

This place is diabolically predatory and expensive if you get anything other than an unsweetened espresso-based drink with regular milk. I am talking $9-12 drink range for a 12oz cup. Syrup and alt milk are ridiculously priced. The barista just looks you in the eye as they total up the numbers. If you do get one of the drinks that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, the espresso is very chocolatey and a delight to drink. It is probably one of the best coffees in the area. Avoid their matcha because it has no flavor, is slightly grainy, and is significantly more expensive than competitors at this quality. You’ll get some fun discounts if you join the rewards program, but HAVE I MENTIONED everything is so expensive that it just becomes regularly priced. It’s also located in a cute outdoor space outside of a lot of offices, which makes it very suitable for yap and not to work if that was your intention.

Cute coffee shop in downtown LA. Pretty fast service. The vanilla latte was okay, there was snow sugar free option. They also have alot of dessert options.

Nice Coffee is nice indeed. The downtown coffee shop has a magic that I don't see in many downtown coffee shops: it slows people down. I don't mean that you have to wait for a long time to get your coffee, I mean this is a place where people, even office workers who are usually on a tight schedule, seem to enjoy spending some time at. The coffee shop is housed in a stand-alone structure in the center of City National Plaza. The shop has a neat, modern look with straight lines, steel beams and wooden counters. The shop leverages its central and easily accessible location by opening up all sides of the shop and providing plenty of seats, including a bar top on one side. When I first visited the shop one early morning, I saw someone in a suit eating his breakfast by the bar, chatting with the baristas while sipping an espresso. Another time I stopped by near lunch time, there was a little crowd around the shop and conversations were everywhere. The open air must give people who work in an office the real break they need. I have had good cappuccinos at Nice Coffee, and a refreshing hibiscus tea when I need something decaf. Service feels noticeably above the usual coffee shop experience, there is a friendly day-time bar atmosphere at Nice.

Some of the best coffee in downtown Los Angeles. It's normally pretty busy but they are quick to get you the morning cup of joe. High recommended

Ideal location if you want to have a light breakfast or afternoon drink. The morning you will be along the business folks rushing to office. You can get your drink served in nice ceramic cups, when facing the fountain with the waterfall sound you can enjoy a moment of relaxation. The coffee is a strong dark roast - morning boost - that call for something to eat with it. I enjoyed their Ham croissant. Very accessible from Westin hotel.

Best macchiato in Los Angeles, hands down! Friendly staff, great location, and fantastic drinks. Perfect for a little break downtown. Highly recommended!

These guys know how to make those Parallel beans sing, especially for espresso-based drinks! Friendly, efficient staff. For a staple coffee kiosk for the office buildings, it’s very dedicated quality service. Been here a couple times and never disappointed by the atmosphere, or food. Surprisingly excellent poppy lemon seed Danish pastry. Bready, fresh, not too sweet or greasy. Would be back to try their other curious selection.
