Favorite spot to open up my laptop and get some work done. Nice ambience, great staff, and the drinks are delicious. Also there's a free water station, lots of pastry and snack options, and not any blaring music.

I got the caramel latte coffee hot and my son got the same but cold. Both were so good. The lady was so sweet and helpful with a nice smile. The coffee looks so cute, lots of people not loud at all. You can sit and enjoy a good conversation and great organic coffee. The best is inside the LA Auto Show.

nice place, worker was super friendly. ordered herbal tea, which was mango + hibiscus unsweetened for 4.50 and it was pretty good. had a very nostalgic taste to it which i enjoyed. they put quite a bit of ice tho so it watered down quite a bit. lots of seating, nice lighting

I've stopped by a few times to work with some friends on the weekends in a writing accountability group. I love this spot because of the loft area seating, the overall relaxed atmosphere, strong coffee options (groundwork does NOT miss on any of their drinks), and abundant food menu! The fried egg sandwich is really good and very fresh. I'm a sucker for a good matcha, but their cold brew is also so solid I'm torn between which to order each time. There seems to be ample space to sit and enjoy the space kind of regardless of when I've stopped by. Parking isn't too bad either - for a while the meters on the street weren't working and the text to pay app also wasn't online, so I've been able to park for free the past few times I've stopped by. This spot is so solid!

Coffee: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 The horchata cold brew is so good here. It's such a unique drink that I haven't tried anywhere else (although I will say I'm not the biggest coffee drinker) and the combination of cinnamon, creaminess, nuttiness, bitterness is so good. It's pretty strong. I'd come back here just for this drink. The person taking my order actually recommended this drink and you can even sample it. The matcha was good but didn't stand out to me. Service is great, both the person taking my order and making my drink were very nice. Ambiance is cozy, there's an upstairs floor where there are ample tables to study or chill. There's also seating outside. Parking is not great but you can definitely find something. The space inside is pretty big and not too crowded. I really enjoyed the vibes of this coffee shop.

Groundwork Coffee in DTLA Arts District is a solid choice for coffee aficionados seeking high-quality beans and a variety of brewing methods. They do have inside and patio seating so many customers are getting their work done here. There's also restroom available for customers' use. No private parking but it's easy to find street parking. Since Groundwork primarily focuses on coffee and offers pastries and light bites, don't expect a full breakfast or lunch menu here.

I came here for coffee and a spot to get some work done for a couple of hours, but also ordered their bitches brew hash and it was delicious. I highly recommend getting it. What I wouldn't recommend is the horchata cold brew. It's way too sweet. There's plenty of tables inside and even some outside. However, only the tables along the wall on the upper level have outlets, but large power blocks, like the ones that come with MacBooks, will not stay plugged in. Service was exceptional. There's paid street parking but even that can be hard to find sometimes. Walk here if you can.

I was here early morning on 12/05/23 looking for a breakfast/tea spot. It is located in the Art District. It is a cute spot for: coffee, tea, pastries and breakfast. They have both inside and outside seating. It is also a great place to meet up or telework. The parking wasn't easy to find, but luckily, I was able to find one spot at the curb. There is a parking lot space in front of the shop for $4. I am not sure if it is by the hour, minutes or for the day. Ordered: Large Passionfruit Peach Iced Tea - lightly sweetened. It was pretty good. The Fried Egg Sandwich - fried eggs, applewood smoke bacon, guacamole, pepperjack cheese on a house made sourdough, herbed aioli and side of salad with dressing. It was pretty good sandwich. Ask for their special salsa. It made the sandwich taste super delicious. If you are in area and need a coffee break or even a snack, come stop by here. They absolutely have vegan pastries and vegan breakfast.
