Los Angeles covers about 469 square miles of land and had 3,898,747 residents in 2020.1 Its coffee map ignores city lines: Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Culver City are separate cities.23 Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are entirely surrounded by Los Angeles, and Santa Monica is bordered by it on every side but the ocean.42 Most cafés line a few long boulevards, Sunset from Echo Park to the Strip, Wilshire through Koreatown, and Main Street and Abbot Kinney near the sand.
Many local coffee habits arrived with immigrants. About 80% of Southern California's doughnut shops are Cambodian-owned, a trade that grew after Ted Ngoy, a refugee from the Khmer Rouge, bought Christy's in La Habra in 1979 and leased shops to other refugees; the region's pink doughnut boxes date from that time, cheaper than glossy white ones.5 Koreatown's cafés pour cream-topped lattes until late, and Eastside cafés serve café de olla, coffee spiced with cinnamon.678
Specialty roasting has moved into the old warehouse blocks east of Downtown. Boxx, founded in Istanbul in 2015, opened its first American café in the Arts District in 2021, and Verve roasts below its café on Mateo Street.9 West Jefferson Boulevard has a small run of its own: Highly Likely at No. 4310, a bright West Adams café that pours beer and wine in the evening,10 and De Olla cafe at No. 3026.

FAQ
Cafés in Los Angeles: common questions
How much does a cappuccino cost in Los Angeles?
Numbeo's October 2026 average for a regular cappuccino in Los Angeles was US$5.95, in a typical range of US$4 to US$9. Cream-topped lattes in Koreatown cost US$5.75 to US$8 in 2024, while Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts at the Farmers Market sells a doughnut with coffee for US$3.50 before 09:00, as of 2025.
Which neighborhood of Los Angeles has the most cafés?
Downtown & Arts District and Westwood & West LA have the most cafés, followed by Koreatown. Downtown's cafés spread from Little Tokyo and the Arts District to Chinatown; on the Westside they cluster on Sawtelle Boulevard and in Westwood Village, and in Koreatown along West 6th Street, Wilshire and Olympic.
Why are there so many doughnut shops in Los Angeles?
About 80% of Southern California's doughnut shops are Cambodian-owned. Many trace back to Ted Ngoy, a Cambodian refugee who bought Christy's doughnut shop in La Habra in 1979 and then leased shops to other refugees. The pink boxes common in the region date from that time, chosen because they were cheaper than glossy white ones.
What is café de olla, and where can you drink it in Los Angeles?
Café de olla is Mexican pot coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, an unrefined cane sugar, sometimes with orange peel, anise or cloves, traditionally in a clay pot. Eastside cafés in Los Angeles serve it; Picaresca, which opened in Boyle Heights in 2021, made its version with cinnamon, anise, orange peel and brown sugar.
Are Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood part of Los Angeles?
No. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Culver City are separate cities, each with its own government, although they sit inside the Los Angeles area. Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are entirely surrounded by the City of Los Angeles, and Santa Monica is bordered by it on every side except the ocean.
Where can you get coffee late at night in Los Angeles?
Trojan Grounds on West 34th Street near USC is open 24 hours, and … And Destroy Coffee on Eagle Rock Boulevard in Atwater Village serves until 22:00 daily. Koreatown cafés also keep late hours, often until 22:00 or later, and Highly Likely on West Jefferson Boulevard serves beer and wine in the evening.
