LOS ANGELES | One of my bugbears is people who travel to the USA and claim that “there’s no good coffee”. Admittedly, it’s not a great coffee on every corner scene like in Melbourne, but I’ve managed to find fantastic coffee in ever city I’ve visited over there.
In the major cities, there’s loads of great coffee to be found, and Los Angeles is no exception. When I visited last year, I added a new place to my list, Tactile Coffee.
Tactile was started by brothers Eric and Mike Yi in 2016, originally out of an old Mac Tools truck. Their simple aim? To make the highest quality coffee for their customers. In 2017 they opened a bricks and mortar cafe in Rampart Village (next to Koreatown), and it’s here that I visited.
Here you’ll find Counter Culture Coffee espresso drinks, which you can enjoy pure, or creatively with their house-made syrups. There’s also non-coffee beverages and light food options like locally baked bread with preserves, porridge, poached eggs, and sandwiches.
I tried both an espresso (brilliant) and their Ganache Cortado – dark chocolate, cane sugar, sea salt, espresso, and steamed milk. It’s rich, smooth and wonderfully balanced.
If you find yourself in Los Angeles, pop in and have a chat with Eric and Mike, and enjoy some of the best coffee in Los Angeles.
