Cafe Knotted Arts District
736 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Knotted is a matcha lover's dream tucked into the Arts District, where their perfectly balanced matcha lattes strike that rare sweet spot between indulgent and restrained—no cloying aftertaste, just pure green tea bliss. But the real magic happens with their donuts and pastries, which somehow manage to be both visually delightful and remarkably not-too-sweet, with fans raving about everything from corn-filled creations to a whipped cream custard situation that deserves its own fan club. It's the kind of place where you go in for a quick coffee grab and leave with a pastry that feels like an emotional support carb done right.”

One of the best matcha latte places I have visited. I ordered their matcha duo and I absolutely liked how it did not tasted too sugary but sweet enough that it tasted really good to my taste. I also tried their Dubai Chocolate Cookie as I have noticed how popular it is currerntly across social media and I can see why many people enjoy it although it was not my favorite. However if you live nearby and are looking to get matcha latte, I would definitely recommend this place. The cafe is not crowded, which I liked but that is because I went there 30-40 before their closing time. I look forward to how this café grows.
This was undoubtedly a very HAPPY MOMENT. I love doughnuts, I went specifically for the Corn flavored pastry. The flavor of the bread, not to sweet and the filling were so pure that it didn't feel like a Donut. I also got the Matcha Cheesecake, great unsweetened and not over powering matcha flavor, loved it so much. I can not t imagine what the other pastries taste like, "Knotted" is definitely a well-deserved go to pastry shop.
The banana latte and donut were very flavorful. The donut was nice, soft, and not too sweet. However, the customer service was lacking. Basic courtesy can go a long way.
Dude so friggin good. My husband brought it back home and I devoured it in seconds. 10/10 that whipped cream custard one is to die for.
Café Knotted is basically a love letter to anyone who believes pastries should be both adorable and emotionally supportive. The donuts? Fluffy little masterpieces. We still need to go back for the drinks but I’ve seen a few customers that ordered the matcha cream top and it looks good
