Doubting Thomas, Los Angeles CA

Who puts braised pork in a breakfast burrito? GENIUSES. Also, the coffee and pastries were out of this world! The world does not have enough exclamation marks to convey my feelings about this place?

That muddy chai was a nice surprise. The danish was phenomenal. I never had one that was so flaky, buttery, and the perfect crisp to softness ratio. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu (food and drinks).

Super cute LA cafe in the filipinotown area! Came here for lunch with a friend and I was really satisfied with the presentation of the food. I got the pork belly rice bowl, which came with brown rice and the pork belly meat was really good. The lettuce was in chunks and not cut up which I thought was interesting — for convenience I think I would’ve preferred it cut up into smaller pieces but it wasn’t a big deal! I had the iced matcha latte with almond milk — it was alright, average matcha latte and more on the watery side. It may have been because I chose almond milk instead of oat milk though. My friend had the breakfast dish — which she liked and an extra hot matcha latte with oat milk. We got the chocolate banana bread which was sweet and good, and the banoff (I think that’s how they spelt it) which looks like tiramisu but it’s a seasonal special where you can only get it at this time. It’s all cream on top with banana and a sweet caramel glazed tart bottom — I think regular tiramisu tastes a lot better, not the biggest fan of it & it was super sweet so just kept making you want more. I really liked the seating here - there’s outdoor and indoor and the architecture of it was good. Ample street parking around the block. It doesn’t feel like the safest place to meander and walk around but the cafe itself is good. It’s a great neighborhood gem / local gem type of place! The servers / barista were super kind and gentle which I appreciated. Service was fast too. Good Customer service always makes a place shine. Overall great place to grab pastries and coffee… and quick lunch!

After much hype, I decided to try this spot. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience. The service to start was ok, I got my coffee pretty soon after I ordered. When I got my veggie burrito, it looked great from the outside. But it was pretty soft overall, so I didn’t notice until I was almost finished with the first half when I saw slimy egg white slide out in a string into a pool on the plate. I know how to make a sunny side egg and this was clearly not cooked properly, the top of the egg white should still be set (white, not clear) with the egg yolk runny. I was really grossed out by the texture and upset because it wasn’t a sunny egg. I was going to leave, but I felt they should know these eggs aren’t getting cooked properly. One of their employees tried to tell me “well it’s a pork belly burrito” (which in the menu doesn’t appear to include eggs?), and I had to confirm it was indeed a veggie burrito. Very disappointing to have to explain myself after showing them the pool of albumen on the plate. They then offered to recook and or refund, but it definitely didn’t feel genuine or that they were sorry so I told them to just please cook their eggs for their next customers. Could hear them laughing at that as I walked out, which was unbelievably rude. I would have totally have come another time or tried something else if it weren’t for the way they handled it, definitely didn’t feel good to experience. Please do better.

I ordered 5 different dishes and they were all a 10/10.incredible spot! Coffee is nutty and rich but the matcha is a little bitter.nonetheless, highly recommend!

OMG. I never saw Doubting Thomas and the day we went the food was amazingly delicious. The pork shoulder burrito was really good in flavors. I highly recommend this spot to grab a quick bite. I can't get enough of the delicious food. I just tried there New Chicken Sandwich and it was bomb diggity good.

Great brunch spot. Excellent customer service. Amazing food. Worth every penny but prices are in the $$ range so budget eaters are encouraged to come prepared. Great selection of baked goods too. Flavors are unique and the menu is really well designed. The ambiance is great. I recommend the veggie quesadilla (it's amongst one of the popular items). Will return for more

I got a latte with oatmilk and their house orange/cinnamon/vanilla syrup which was amazing. It's a must try!

Loved it! Cute place, quesadillas were yum, decent coffee.
Went on Fri, 10AM, almost all tables were taken.

Doubting Thomas is an interesting name for a cafe. I have no doubt about this though: it is an exciting place to get pastries and breakfasts. I visited Doubting Thomas on several occasions and always find something nice to try.

I started with the croissants as always. In fact, even though the cafe opens at 7am, the butter croissant wasn't available until around 8am during that visit. But then of course it is served fresh off the oven. It's not the flakiest or crunchiest croissant I had, but the fresh warmth elevated the experience, plus the big portion and the simmering golden layers, I think it's worth the wait. When it comes to chocolate croissants, freshness means melted chocolate filling and I absolutely loved it. The ham and cheese croissant, however, was underwhelming. One other croissant I had was an almond croissant with passion fruit filling. The filling overflowed and created a little cascade as I pressed the croissant for the bite, what a delicious mess!

Doubting Thomas pastry offering usually features a pie of the week. I especially enjoyed the banoffee pie. Its cream is light and its sweetness is subtle, yet combined with banana, cocoa, and caramel, it is a divine treat. I had it for breakfast and had no guilt about it.

While I was there mostly to get pastries, I did try the breakfast sandy (homemade biscuit, sunny egg, sausage, cheddar, arugula, mayonnaise) and enjoyed the fresh ingredients and delicate presentation. Their food menu is rather extensive: toasts, burritos, pancakes, salads, even chicken katsu! For some items, maybe a bit expensive too.

This place has delicious food and the ambiance is great. A must for anyone who is looking for an alternative breakfast experience. Their pastries are unique and awesome tasting. Don't miss out on those! I generally highly recommend this place.

This being said, I would recommend the manager to reconsider how to handle the cashier situation. We ordered our food and had waited in a busy line until it was our turn. After sitting down, I decided that it would be nice to get a warm drink, but I was told that I had to wait in line again to get my item. Certainly not what I want to do after already having waited in line the first time. Ringing up an extra item on the side should not be such a big deal. Chipotle does this all the time with Chips& Guac. I recommend to visitors to kow what you order when in line the first time, unless you want to wait multiple times in long lines.

Fresh, fun, flat white. What else do you need? Cozy spot with indoor and sidewalk seating, delicious pastries, excellent barista, quality ingredients.

Comfortable cafe with good quality ingredients and breakfast/lunch offerings with even better desserts/pastries, those with a sweet tooth you will not be disappointed. Coffee is good too

Unbelievable this place is incredible. Love watching them making everything right in front of you. Definitely get some cake don’t short yourself here. The coffee is creamy and delish can’t wait to try our burrito!

Staff is super friendly and chill, great relaxing vibe! Food was amazing and the pastry all looked so tasty! I'd say the only thing I was a bit annoyed by is the surroundings. People kept trying to talk to me when I was walking from where I parked, very uncomfortable and a bit scary. But once I got there everything was truly amazing.

Really delicious veggie breakfast burrito. Eggs in the burrito were cooked just right - runny but not too runny, wasn’t a mess to eat! Espresso was top notch as well. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

The main bummer about this place is the slow service. Don't come here if you're in a hurry or can't stand for long periods of time. Really great croissants, however.

The food is great and the space is large with indoor and outdoor options. Street parking. Service is pleasant and it's very neighborly so don't expect turnover and efficiency. Just leisurely. My only issue is there is a huge fly issue in their pastry case.

Everything is unexpected and delicious. All the food on the menu is incredible, baked goods are mind blowing, and staff are friendly! My favorite coffee shop in LA

Overpriced breakfast and coffee in a neighborhood that has always been traditionally Filipino and Latin American. Featured on Eater LA, the article explains Historic Filipinotown and Rampart Village "experiencing a boom of growth and attention. " This is another coffee/pastry place marking up the prices in the local neighborhood trying to make profit as they weren't able to find cheap leases because Echo Park, Silverlake, and the Arts District is too expensive for the restaurant.

The establishment is modern and hip. There's no dedicated parking and if you're trying to cross the street on Temple - the cars will not stop. Coffee is good and the pastries are incredible.
