Little Tokyo

Nestled betwixt Downtown (proper), the Arts District and, ahem, Skid Row, to form a misfit tetrad of walkable neighborhoods, Little Tokyo is home to your next favorite restaurant coffee shop bar spot. Est. 1886 (i.e. in LA terms, pre-historic), it’s one of few remaining US Japantowns, and the well-documented taciturn cultural pride has protected its authenticity, skewing it less tourist-trap and more Taste of Tokyo.

This casual counter-serve café is best-known for the legendary green tea donuts, and rightly so. But branch out, into an array of freshly-baked delicacies including chewy spirulina rolls, flavored rotis, bacon donuts and for the coffee snob … four types of coffee (Ritual, Four Barrel, Stumptown and Copa Vida). Warning: to preserve freshness, they bake in limited batches and sell out early.
