What people say, in short
Dayglow's recommendations span several Los Angeles outlets; the Chinatown shop is named in Downtown discussions. One person praises its selection from other roasters, and another favors its lighter roasts and range of espresso and pour-over options while disliking the decor. A visitor praises the coffee but criticizes the cost of the beans. A separate visitor likes the brand but finds the Rose Avenue outlet inconsistent; that criticism is not a report about Chinatown.
