Downtown LA’s Historic Core is a story of contrasts. Next to yesteryear’s aging nickelodeons it’s no surprise to find a bustling boutique hotel, or to uncover a vegan-vending pizza stand among stalls of parked vehicles. It’s as if layers of the city’s history converge at its heart, creating a harmonious discord that excites, delights, and surprises just like its quivering quakes. Every nook and cranny must be explored to fully apprehend the mysteries and marvels that lie along the fault lines of this city’s teeming streets.

A watering hole amid a concrete canyon is Verve Coffee's Downtown Los Angeles location. Instantly recognizable by the floor-to-ceiling grow walls, the coffee house is a welcome respite for the area's professionals - both creative and otherwise. Other notable features include concrete floors inlaid with a bespoke chevron pattern and custom wood and steel furnishings. Pop-in in the morning for a caffeine boost or early afternoon for a refreshing cold pressed juice.
