Quick info
About Kaffee Bohnen
Power outlets built into the tables set the tone at Kaffee Bohnen, a coffee shop on W Olympic Blvd in Koreatown, Los Angeles, set back from the street and easy to miss. The house drinks are the Bohnen Latte and the Bohnen Cold Brew, and a plain Latte sits on a menu running to 44 items. Oat and almond milk are on hand as alternatives, and pastries are sold alongside the coffee, with chocolate and honey available to take home. Seating splits between work tables and couches, and the room sees regular use for studying and laptop work. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and the doors open daily. A small parking lot serves the shop with its entrance on S Catalina St, and street parking is available nearby.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the Bohnen Latte and the Bohnen Cold Brew, with one coffee drinker calling the cold brew the best specialty coffee they have had in LA. Close behind are a caramel iced latte that was not too sweet, a mango smoothie compared to a mango lassi, a vanilla latte, and a matcha, with pastries also praised. Several describe it as a place to study or work, citing table outlets, comfortable seating, couches, greenery, and a clean bathroom. The small parking lot and available street parking come up repeatedly in a neighborhood where that is rare. The main complaint is visibility: one reviewer says the exterior is easy to miss from across the street and that a neighboring space under construction makes it look unfinished at first glance. Another notes it is tucked away on Olympic. One reviewer describes the shop as only a few months old, and a barista confirmed that to them. Several reviewers point to the manager, who made a coffee one of them found tasty.

“Such a cute spot. Coffee was great I would definitely be returning 8/10. If you're near the area is worth trying. Recommen 🙌”

“All I can say this place is superior to most places, what it comes to mind is a beautiful bold boutique kaffee place. I had their caramel ice latte it had a hint of caramel without been over powering , it wasn't too sweet, It was well balanced all around, their mango smoothie had an fresh mango taste that I would compared to a mango lassi with a better balance of flavor and sweetness which wasn't over powering. Overall it was a great experience great hidden gem in the heart of town. Went back to try their specialty kaffee Bohnen. It definitely didn't disappoint. Amazing coffee the used almond milk instead of regular milk the flavors work so good together. I am coming back.”

“The start of the semester means homework and that means locking myself at a study cafe. Kaffee Bohnen is tucked away on Olympic across from Surawon, with a small garage and plenty of street parking. There’s very good bus access from USC via …”
