Eightfold Coffee

The Arts District outpost of the Echo Park café that coffee people swear by: a bright, pared-back bar in the 555 Mateo complex, a few doors from Girl & the Goat. Light, rotating coffees as espresso or pour-over, made with care. Go early; it closes at 3.

Counter orderOrder at the counter. It closes at 3pm every day. Street parking on Mateo is limited, with paid lots nearby.
