Drnk Coffee & Tea

This is probably the best place out of that whole plaza. Plaza def needs a facelift.
Service was slow, ordered a P bowl which felt like a deconstructed smoothie, it was good but too much peanut butter mixed with acai. That could be toned down.
Parking is super expensive don’t park in the lot.
Would only return if I had business in this area.

I decided to try out this place because it’s close to court (where I had jury duty) and I wanted to get something other than Starbucks since I was in LA. This coffee shop is pretty easy to find. They have a parking structure and it’s in the la plaza area. They have your average coffee, tea, and they even have a juice bar where you can get smoothies and other juiced up beverages. I ordered a small iced earl grey latte because I wanted to try something new and I thought it was just okay. You can really taste the earl grey flavor though! But I wish I ordered something more of a coffee taste because I’m such a coffee person. The bagels looked delicious but I wasn’t hungry enough to get one. Maybe I’ll give it a try next time! Overall this is a good place to get a quick coffee or drinks between breaks, before or after work. I really want to try their juice and smoothies too!

Just ok for a quick fix of caffeine if you’re not particular about your coffee. I asked about their reserve coffee, they didn’t have any. I asked about the beans in their Daily DRNK coffee, «they’re just some house blend.» For something quick (but not cheap — $ 4.95! for 16 oz White Chocolate Mocha). I guess it’s a decent Starbucks-​level alternative.

I was on jury duty and discovered this place. It’s really good! The thing I love is that they have Rishi organic tea! I’m big on tea, but I don’t like that some of the big name tea brands actually have large traces of pesticides in them, in addition to «natural» and artificial flavoring.
I researched and found Rishi Organic Loose Leaf tea. They are super super healthy tea, all organic, and their tea bags are known as being some of the best on the market! They’re free of chemical and all sorts of bad stuff.
Drnk serves Rishi Organic tea! If you’re looking for healthy, organic and non-​chemical tea, this is the place to go!
I had the chai latte, using Rishi organic tea. It was good! They sweetened it a little too much here at Drnk, but that’s easily handled by asking them to go easy on the sweetener.
They also sell Rishi tea by the box if you want to purchase a large amount for at home.

This place is located in a small cute courtyard across from the large federal building. It’s right when you exit from the subterranean parking structure. They don’t validate for parking.
In any case, I got a chai tea latte, which was really good! Not too sweet, perfect amount of foam. I also got a «bear claw,» which was filled with almond and chocolate goodness. Great size, well-​priced.
Service was excellent, and my chai tea latte was done in 1 minute.
Perfect place to grab something quick on the way to work or errand.

Unexpectedly, (due to location, and because I had never heard of «DRNK» before), the coffee here is REALLY GOOD.
The people are so kind and helpful. Really great customer service (so much so that I wonder, «am I in Los Angeles right now?»)
I usually get a coconut mocha, half-​sweet (not on the menu, but it’s amazing). Sometimes they run out of the coconut syrup, which is REALLY SAD. They also have almond milk, which is a nice alternative to soy. I’ve always like the coffee I ordered — and I’ve ordered quite a few different drinks.
Good location close to the government buildings. Beats Starbucks any day!

It’s okay, but wont be going back. I was the first of the line to order, then two other customers came after me. The cashier handed out my money to other person then took their order. Needles to say they got their drinks and I waited for mine to be done last. Very disrespectful. I understand they are clients but you’ll understand why I wont come back ever. I wasnt treated like a customer should be, that is not how you build your customer base.

My new go-​to for tea, because Starbucks is lame and keeps running out of their stock! Drnk carries Rishi tea, an organic brand that sources responsibly. The tea is AMAZING, too! I’ve had the Jasmine in-​house, and then bought a box of the Tropical Green, which is so far my favorite. I tried their in-​house Matcha Zest, but it was WAAAY too lemony and ruined the gentle flavor of the matcha. But I’m interested in trying their other tea drinks. Happy to have a good tea source near my work!

Thanks Cha and R. J for making us yummy drinks and always being pleasant in the mornings! I love that they have a punch card system for bagels and coffee. There’s also an adjoining Robeks if you’re feeling healthy that day! Close to work, quick and efficient service and lattes are always yummy.

Went there today around 1pm. I like this place and was going in for a lemonade. My drink was great, got it quickly, price is decent, however, the girl taking orders at the register was snappy as hell. Due to two businesses seeming to be in one building I didn’t realize they run together. So when the girl at the counter said «I can take the next person» I didn’t realize that it was me, since it was the line for DRNK and I was waiting to get protein juice. She rolled her eyes and yelled «HELLOOO I can take you next» and laughed a bit looking at her co-​workers. I kind of felt like an idiot and apologized but even then she wasn’t very «sweet». I was irritated but being someone that works with the public I didn’t want to make a comment at the time since I was just enjoying my day.

I had been a regular at Starbucks for the past year of working in LA, due to the convenience factor and my necessity for coffee to get me through the day. After frustrations with the inconsistency of quality, I realized that I was settling and decided to venture off to find a great coffee place. This led me to DRNK.
Upon arrival, I was welcomed by their EXTREMELY friendly and attentive staff. I am particularly an espresso lover, so my usual order is a caramel macchiato preferably with an extra shot. WOW. The espresso flavor, creaminess, and overall taste that this drink has to offer are incredible.
After just a couple of weeks of being a customer, they have my drink and name down to the tee, which I appreciate as I approach barely awake-​practically sleep walking as I enter.

Lol I wish there were more of these around ;p
I found out about it while I was stuck in jury duty and got to enjoy a nice pumpkin spiced chai tea with whip cream before getting my name reaped for the hunger games… oops, I mean jury service x (
Staff was very friendly and accommodating, the prices were ok too. If I had to choose between a Starbucks and a DRNK establishment, I’d probably choose DRNK simply because of it’s low keyness and the variety of their teas. If you’re more of a tea person than a coffee fiend, you may prefer this establishment too.
I hope to visit again under better circumstances other than jury duty LOL
