Chimney Coffee House

Tucked away in a quieter corner of Chinatown, Chimney Coffee House offers a welcome respite from the bustling downtown scene. This unassuming cafe has carved out a loyal following among those who appreciate good coffee without the crowds, ample parking without the stress, and a laid-back atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile.

The coffee here is solid and dependable, but the real star is the Hokkaido brick toast—a thick, buttery slice of Japanese-style milk bread that’s toasted until golden and served with various toppings. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that makes the slightly out-of-the-way location completely worthwhile. The space itself feels comfortable and unpretentious, perfect for settling in with a laptop or catching up with a friend.

If you’re tired of fighting for parking in downtown LA or waiting in lengthy lines at trendier spots, Chimney Coffee House is your antidote. Free wifi, abundant street parking, and genuinely good coffee and snacks make this an ideal spot for remote work or a relaxed afternoon away from the chaos.

Whether you’re a Chinatown regular looking for a new coffee haunt or an adventurous explorer willing to venture slightly off the beaten path, Chimney Coffee House rewards the journey with its no-fuss charm and delicious brick toast.
