new dtla coffee shop confirming my ‘people crave cozy’ thesis

i love the aesthetic but this looks like the opposite of cozy to me

where are the couches and comfy chairs?

they have em

i actually don’t LOVE the way they out this space together but it’s very different from the current minimal aesthetic

my two spots are ‘How’s It Going to End?’ (crazy name) and Jurassic Magic

oh ya the minimal aesthetic is sterile and boring at this point - everyone is trying (and failing) to copy maru ever since it blew up on tiktok

would love to hear your favorite coffee spots aside from nouns and menottis btw
