Crema's Take
“Blue Bottle's Gibraltar—a perfectly calibrated espresso and steamed milk drink—is genuinely worth seeking out, and the Downtown LA location inside the historic Bradbury Building gives you soaring ceilings and natural light that make lingering over coffee feel like an event rather than a transaction.
