Damo
1325 Palmetto St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in LA's Arts District, Damo is a serene, minimalist warehouse cafe that takes matcha just as seriously as coffee, crafting each drink with meticulous care and high-quality ingredients. The all-white, gallery-like space creates a calm refuge perfect for focused work or lingering conversations, while the thoughtful staff go out of their way to guide you toward standout creations like their smooth matcha einspanner or cold brew vanilla. It's the kind of place where you feel the difference between a coffee shop that serves drinks and one that genuinely cares about every cup.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
