Document Coffee - Los Angeles

Nice coffee with affordable prices for the city. Good attention and good offer of delicacies.

While this cafe may seem out of the way around the mid Wilshire area, it’s actually quite perfectly placed in the bustling neighborhood. It seems fitted mostly for grab and go now with very minimal seating and just a few spots with counter space. It’s a shotgun style space; long and narrow with a neat patio area that juts out into the parking lot (which I had no clue of until I walked back there after parking on the metered street). The coffee selection is robust as the coffee itself. Plenty of options for both espresso and tea. They also carry a good amount of pantry items. Though they were a bit too random for a usual coffee stop for me. I tried their signature Mad Spice latte which was filled with a variety of spices that really made the latte bloom so I was quite surprised and happy that after the initial harsh first sip, the rest went down smooth. There is a pastry bin but it seems to typically run out after the morning and lunch rush. So I didn’t get to try anything (and I’m not a big scones fan which were the two items left). And that’s Document in a nutshell. A quick go to spot to get your Java and a pastry and be on your way. From photos of the past it seems like they used to have more tables and seating but now it’s just bare. I personally like a cafe I can get comfortable in and relax for a while. This just isn’t one of them. Not their fault, they’re catering to the workers all along Wilshire by providing what they need most, good quality coffee.

Minimalist spot with limited indoor seating that serves the function of making the coffee shop seem more like a gallery experience than a workspace (which is cool). More importantly, the coffee is incredibly rich and delicious. My iced flat white was balanced, (heads up, $0.75 for oat milk, $0.25 for ice) and was refreshingly light and not overly roasted bitter. Outdoor (covered) small deck outside if you wanna hang. Otherwise a great spot for grab n go high quality coffee!

Very chill coffee shop with 10 stools for customers to sit and work if they’d like. The document cold brew with oat milk is absolute heaven! My go-to drink

Coffee is full of flavor and variety Atmosphere is very peaceful Service
