Coffee MCO

The roomy multi-story layout, steady Wi-Fi connection and on-site parking lot make this Koreatown café ideal for getting work done, but the first-rate beverage program and an eclectic locals’ crowd ensure that Coffee MCO hits the L.A. coffee shop trifecta. Pastries are sourced from the Pie Room by Curtis Stone—one of the city’s top bakeries—and you’ll also find buns from Gooey Center, a pop-up that makes the city’s best cinnamon roll. Unlike most coffee shops in the area, you can actually get a decent shot of espresso here, but the matcha latte and sweeter specialty drinks are no slouch either. The cherry on top might be the food menu, which includes a killer breakfast burrito made with slow-braised brisket and the surprisingly good French fries.
