About Velo Coffee
Downstairs on the lowest level of FIGat7th, Velo Coffee is a coffee shop on S Figueroa Street in Los Angeles that works as a pick-up counter, with a tiny space and no seating inside. Orders go through a self-service kiosk or by mobile, and the counter takes walk-ins. The drinks list runs to horchata nitro cold brew, which can be made with milk alternatives such as macadamia milk, alongside an iced chai latte that comes with strawberry cold foam if wanted. Flavored lattes including tiramisu and lemon meringue sit next to the standard latte and cappuccino. Food comes from a pastry case, where the jalapeño cream cheese croissant is a regular order, including an "everything" version, and kouign-amann, chocolate croissants and donuts round out the selection. The full menu spans 38 items, and the shop opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the jalapeño cream cheese croissant, which several order alongside a drink, and it is described as delicious and better than expected. Close behind are the specialty lattes and cold brews: the horchata nitro cold brew with macadamia milk, a tiramisu latte, a lemon meringue latte, and an unsweetened matcha latte that one reviewer was glad to find. A chocolate croissant ordered warmed, with melted chocolate in each bite, and the Kouign-amann also draw praise, along with seasonal flavors and a wide variety of teas. Staff are called friendly and polite, and one worker brought drinks out to a table in the food court. Several mention the space is tiny with little seating, so people take drinks to the plaza tables, and one notes little interaction with baristas and a crowded interior. Ordering is done at a kiosk or by mobile. The caveats are limited: one reviewer found an iced chai latte with strawberry cold foam only ok, and another reports a delivery order arriving as the wrong sandwich, then a replacement half bagel that looked already eaten. One reviewer paid for the next group's drinks after their visit.

“Amazing coffee and the freshest donuts I've ever had! The staff is super friendly, making every visit a delight. Can't get enough of their delicious breakfast sandwiches, perfect for starting my day!”

“Drink and food delicious…the place is a pick up spot. The space is tiny and no seating but outside there is a plaza with plenty of tables. Another employee came in and got the food items done very quickly and got me a cup of water while I waited for my drink. Staff was polite, all customers seemed happy and excited so I think locally it’s a great spot and it’s downstairs in a big shopping area so it’s a great location. I was off my diet and it was a splurge! It was worth it!!! Jalapeño croissant and tiramisu latte mmm”

“Ordered from this place through ubereats. First order that came they gave me the wrong sandwich. I reordered the sandwich and got a half sandwich where the top part of the bagel is missing and seems to be eaten already. Ridiculous and very unsanitary . Won’t be ordering from here anymore.”

“For my first visit, I tried an iced chai latte with strawberry cold foam and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was yummy; I ordered it warmed so each bite had melted chocolate and hit the spot. The chai was ok; the flavor was quite …”
