endorffeine

good espresso in los angeles is easy to get wrong and hard to get right, and broadway in chinatown doesn't exactly forgive mediocrity. endorffeine sits at 727 n broadway, inside a building that puts it right in the middle of one of the city's more genuinely lived-in commercial corridors, not a neighborhood performing itself for newcomers. the espresso is the thing here, the reason people keep showing up, and if you're the kind of person who orders a double and drinks it standing up, this is your place. locally, the reputation has held. that's not nothing in a city with this much competition and this little patience for coasting. come for the espresso on a weekday morning, before broadway gets loud.
