Heavy Water Coffee Chinatown
The term "tucked away" is spot on for Heavy Water Coffee, which is located at 1021 Alpine Street LA CA 90012. They roast their own coffee beans and it sits in a residential area adjacent to Eastside Deli and Market. As I walked towards the tiny spot, i wondered if the future will see more shops in the area but it was all residential homes. The latte I ordered was absolutely delicious. I hadn't had a latte like that since Q made me one at Haru over a year ago. I love the simple design of the place and the little custom coffee cup was very cool and DIY feeling. It's definitely a neighborhood coffee shop and as i sat there, severl locals stopped by to get their brew, probably on their way to work or going back to their studios.
