Description

Cafe Demitasse is a coffee nerd's paradise. Located in a sliver of a building in Little Tokyo downtown, the cafe takes coffee obsession to a new level. Yes, they do pour-over coffee and incredible espresso, just like every other coffee house in town. But they also roast their own coffee beans and serve amazing Kyoto-style iced coffee brewed over 14 hours in a mad-scientist apparatus. Their lavender-tinged drinking chocolate is the stuff of chocoholic fever dreams: Made with E. Guittard Cocoa Rouge cocoa powder mixed with Tahitian vanilla, the drink then is imbued with a drop or two of lavender oil. The hint of lavender gives it a wild floral finish, and the result is a deep, rich, thick, dark chocolate that will stain your teeth and win your heart. Recently, the cafe began occasional pop-up dinners in the space, with courses paired with coffee and teas.

  • 2012 | Best Drinking Chocolate

    Demitasse in Little Tokyo has a lot going for it -- fantastic pour-over coffee, awesome Kyoto iced coffee, good pastries. But it's possible we'd pass all that up for a cup of the café's outrageous drinking chocolate. Made with E. Guittard Cocoa Rouge cocoa powder mixed with Tahitian vanilla, the drink then is imbued with a drop or two of lavender oil. The hint of lavender gives it a wild floral finish, and the result is a deep, rich, thick, dark chocolate that will stain your... More »
